It was fun and upbeat. Interesting though that it is club music, it does have that vibe but also doesn't seem intense enough. Its like club music from 7-9, early scene when the lights aren't quite out yet.

This was weird, messed up and not enjoyable. They weren't anarchist and social crusaders they were just gross, dumb aholes. That doesn't make you interesting just imbeciles who make crappy music

I don't think anyone can deny Courtney Love completely overshawdowed the legacy of Hole. But holy sh!t they are kind of amazing. The guitar, bass and drums are all stunning and really up there with some of the best of the era. Looking at the lyrics now, how can anyone be surprised with Courtney's personal life, these ladies dealt with lots of sh!t and tried to get it out through their music. Nobody talked about this stuff then and if you did you were a crazy, whiny, b!tch. Just get over it and be happy you are a rock star (Its better to rise then fade away). I think they were just trying to scream the things women continue to say...maybe someday we will listen and not criticize the female voice. Thank you for creating a beautiful album.

I get why I never heard of them...meh. It just always stayed on the edge of being good and safe but never really pushing it farther. Like its fun to play in our living room together but never really push it beyond that.

Did I love the whole album no...but I loved the difference of the music, I loved the harder rock voice from a woman and the emotions in the music.

Meh...80's music that wants to sound like David Bowie. Love Hangover was kind of fun, but the rest just felt like it was trying too hard.

They sounded like REM and Sinead O'Connor joined together. But turns out it was Bjork, which is interesting because I feel like her sound on her own is so different and I would actually enjoy her more if she pulled this sound. Overall it was very late 80's/early 90's. It wasn't amazing or different but it fit in great with that time frame and musical expression of the era.

Her songs started out fun, but then the beat or a sound just became so repetitive that they became annoying. If every song had been 2 minutes I might have been more interested. The ones I enjoyed the most were when she expanded the lyrics and didn't just repeat the same words over and over.

It was a good album and they have good guitar. It wasn't as good as others.

I honestly loved it. So much soul and somehow happiness in so much soul and blues. Yes blues is repetitive but somehow it doesn't grate to me, each time is different and has so much strength. The guitar is of course amazing. There are some moments that non-live would have been preferred but I can also see where he is really drawing from and speaking to the audience so it builds the strength in the music.

Hey this guy sounds like Rod Stewart...oh it is Rod Stewart. So is that why this album was included? We continue the long list of albums with white British dudes from the 70's that aren't bad but took up space from something new, different, or just not a white dude.

She is the emo 90's Taylor Swift. It is catchy, gen-x vibes about female life. It is poetic and doesn't always follow the exact song formula but that is okay. It is pleasant and real. It is a little down in the dumps at time and somewhat one note but I do really enjoy her lyrics and desire to not be perfect.

In a lot of ways it is beautiful. Its immersive, emotional and brings you into this whole universe that is created. But for me it is just a little to crushing in weight. Everything feels heavy and after a while like a burden and swimming in an weightless world I am never going to get out of. Songs 7-9 gave me a reprieve that I really needed from the heavy feeling of the rest of the album. I had a hard time also deciphering between songs and feeling different emotions during the album, it all felt very one note and somewhat suffocating while also beautiful.

I was underwhelmed. It was nice to hear him speak of break up and rebuilding after heartache but it also drug on and on. It was pretty and full of emotion but also just kept going.

Biggest complaint is its too long and too generic. I love alt rock indie, and this is a solid band/album that fits. Nothing is bad and I can find myself rocking along. It pulls in a lot of 90s vibes and sounds and I can see how this is a progression in the musical world. However, nothing pushes me or feels like it is anything but safe. Maybe chill is just their vibe and they don't have any other setting but I was just waiting for a little more. Still a solid album but my mind was yearning for a little more.

Too much drama too much oozing out the lyrics, too much. It reminded me of the Twilight series (plus he sounds like a vampire). In the beginning it was fine, it was a little emo over the top but fine, by the end I had hear them drone on and one overly dramactic like and I just wanted to scream "Just be done already, bite her!" That is how I felt, just be done already

Rated 6/10

His album cover kind of describes the music...beige. No reason to dislike it but also no reason to like it. It just exists in the middle ground. The lyrcis are deep but almost too deep that I don't really understand what he is singing about at times (even lyrics meaning sites can't really explain them). The orchestral music is pretty but so mellow that it just fades into nothing special. Just beige
