Rated 10/10

This deserved a second listen but my day was too busy. Interesting throughout.

Rated 6/10

Solid pop that does enough with creative structure and sound to make it stand out a bit from the pack. Ultimately it's not the style of music I frequently want to come back to but for its style it's done pretty well I think.

Rated 6/10

Indie pop. I had another of this band's albums in the post list (A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships) and absolutely hated it. This one is actually not bad. I mean, not great, but a comfortable 3. The other one was horrible. This is the much better choice.

Favourite songs: Looking For Somebody (To Love), When We Are Together, Happiness, Wintering, The 1975, Oh Caroline

Least favourite songs: About You

Rated 1/10

Soft Pop for a new generation

Rated 4/10

Fuck sake heard enough of these guys this weekend.

Rated 6/10

The mix is a little lean for my taste in this genre. Looking For Somebody (To Love) is a good single, almost like The Bleachers meets Michael Bolton. But I wish that bass and kick had a little more body on the low end in the natural mix. Oh Caroline and I'm In Love With You are limp and overproduced. This album came out hot as a pistol and then totally vanished into the ether.
