The guitars were sick. I loved every track. Technically an EP so it shouldn't be on this list but glad I was introduced to this record and band

Classic synth pop at its finest. I feel like this would've been groundbreaking at the time of release

Rated 2/10

The songs didn't resonate with me at first. Tracks like Cheree felt like they were on the verge of something great but didn't quite get there. The lyrics were odd, and seemed almost improvised. I decided to listen again to see if I was missing something. I preferred it the second time around and was more aware of the influences drawn from this record that were present in albums by other musicians. For that reason, I'd give it a 3 after a second listen

My original rating was 1

Rated 6/10

Instruments were all insane. I just couldn't get past the vocals. Seemed annoying at times

Unique sound and great debut. Some songs didn't connect with me but I think they'll grow on me with time

The music itself was chill but it was hard to get past the lyrics which were mostly cringey. The vocals were boring at times which didn't help either

Rated 10/10

Very chilled album. No fillers

The music made for a chilled listening session, but the vocals were underwhelming at times, and didn't captivate my attention. "So Long, Marianne" was the best song on the album. I feel like I could've got more out of the album had I paid more attention to the lyrics, but for a first listen, I'd say 2/5.

The first half of the album had me questioning why this record was chosen for this list. He saved in the second half.

Some really good songs on here. "Bombsite Boy" and "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" really stood out for me, and I'll likely revisit the album again for these songs. Some tracks felt like filler but maybe they'll grow on me
