Very technically good, but bored me into thinking about music theory. It felt like it had nothing to say besides ooh aren't we clever ooooooh, and when I have to sit and analyse your music to extract something good from it... nah I'm bored at that point. I studied "take five" at uni, I appreciate it on a technical and compositional level, but would not be hurt if I never listened to it again. I'm giving it 3 stars for being well composed and how talented the performers are... but it's an on-paper 3.5* and an emotional "steely dan"/1 out of 5

utterly brilliant! Fun but not lazy, really enjoyable music! I have a newfound appreciation for fonksy grooves - honestly kicking myself for not hearing this before!

It was pretty nice! I don't know I'd go back to it with urgency, but a very pleasant listen :)

Some good songs, and dare I say interesting things (tape loops etc) - for a coldplay album... not bad. I'll give it 3.5, rounded up to 4

Interesting, great in places, good in others. I think 4 is a fair number for my enjoyment, as I prefer Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, but this was good too! :)

It was an album. I liked the field recordings and it was fine

It referenced random NWA wrestlers, no notes, top marks excellent work. Also the bass was good.

Took a second listen and really liked it! Wasn't blown away the first time, glad I went back. :)

The best so far

Good, cosy, nice. Didn't change my life but was utterly good!

It was really good, but likely I won't come back to it - loved a lot of it, but was checking to see how long some songs had left, and it was just quite long? I also felt like it ran out of things to say in a way I hadn't felt hearing Dead Prez, Death Grips, or Gang Starr? 3 is a good score in my head though, not bad at all :)

Magical mystical fonky weirdness. I am entirely approving and enjoyed it. God it's nice to hear some people try and do something that sounds like nothing else I can pin down. :)

It gets an extra star for winning me over. Would listen again, really good music as much as I was biased against it! Hooray for broadening my musical horizons :)

It was good, but didn't get me like I was hoping it would. I've heard so much about this album being amazing - maybe a re-listen is needed?

Uncomfortable, felt like christmas at gunpoint.

I now like him for more than his incredible model train set

This was rather brilliant! I'm pleased it exists

Nick Drake, this was a good day.

This was more interesting than expected, but... I probably won't listen to it again.

Aaaaw yes! Excellent!
