Rated 6/10

I appreciate it but just not my thing

Really don’t have much to say about this album. Pleasant listen but pretty boring.

That album cover lol
In all fairness this is not the kind of music I’ve ever been into but still, could not listen to over an hour of this. Does every song have the same beat?

Starts off with some amazing songs (otherside in particular) but the second half is a bit hit and miss. Overall though, I think they have quite a recognisable and addictive sound on this album. And of course, top notch bass playing by flea.

I like the instrumentals and his flow, but I found the songs blended into one a little bit. Also that skit in the middle was unbearable.

Very theatrical and idiosyncratic. Seems like they inspired a lot of bands to follow.

Rated 6/10

One of the better albums by Taylor Swift that I’ve heard. You have to admire the ability to write essentially an albums worth of singles. But there is some quite uninspired instrumentals and cringy lyrics in there too.

Pleasant album, good songwriting and singing. But just didn’t engage me that much :/

UCL represent!

Wtf Coldplay actually used to be really good. To me this sounds like an alternative reality where after releasing The Bends Radiohead decided - instead of getting all weird - to go really accessible and try to get chart success. It may be a really safe album but there’s some really great songwriting on here.
