Rated 6/10

Charming background music, with wonderful vocals and gentle music and arrangements. Doesn't grab your ears lome some on the list, but would probably stand up well to regular repeat listens - maybe after the list!

Rated 6/10

Never heard of Suzanne Vega before, but I liked this, really good singer song writer album good voice and music. Deserves to be on the list.

Rated 8/10

Not too folky, not too 80s-cheesy, just right.

Rated 6/10

Very mid-80s sound, bass is non-existant and everything sounds reverb-y. Now Suzanne Vega, I mean I like her next album that had Luka & Tom's Diner, but this one sounds like another artist I'm struggling to remember, maybe all mid-80s albums just sounded the same, you could tell me this was Carly Simon in her Coming Around Again era and I'd probably believe you

Rated 6/10

If you didn't know the artist / album, you'd say this was released in the 80s. It absolutely ooooooooozes 80s.

Rated 2/10

Fine sange, men det gjorde absolut intet for mig. Forstår ikke helt hvorfor den her plade er på listen 🤷

Rated 6/10

Aluksin pidin levystä yllättävän paljon, mutta kun tänä aamuna kuuntelin osia uudestaan oli taika karissut. Ihan kelpoa kasaripoppista, mutta ei nouse erityisesti verrokkiensa yläpuolelle.

Rated 4/10

There were many moments throughout this record where I simply felt embarrassed for her.

Rated 6/10

It's very nice and is consistently good across the album. I like the mood of it. It's not massively engaging, just kind of soft and pleasant.

3.5 rounded down

Rated 4/10

A pretty un-notable singer-songwriter album and not much more than that. This album had an issue I hear for Joni Mitchell albums a lot where the songs seem aimless, but at least with Mitchell there is something there musically and vocally. This kind of reeks of 80's. Not in the way new wave does, but more like just in its boring production values that just feel like they're missing something, so songs can start to feel very much the same. Only saved from a one star because nothing here actively made me angry or annoyed. Most media I'd rather be angry than bored, but that does not stand with music, because this at least did not offend my ears.

Rated 6/10

It was perfectly okay. Nothing I'm going to turn off, nothing I'm going to look out to listen to again.

Rated 4/10

Meh. Nothing special. 2/5

Rated 8/10

Pretty cool swing and lyrical delivery. Nice acoustic stylings in a straight ahead, not presumptuous manner.

Rated 4/10

Rätt bra story telling på en del låtar men överlag ganska tamt. Bra röst!
