Rated 8/10
It's really strong, full of emotion and interesting nuggets that are kinda specific to their sound. I just think, with so many risks, some are bound to not pay off as well as others but it is mature and great

Rated 4/10
It's repetitive with a lot of filler songs. There are places when it is shining, pinball wizzard for exemple is a fun song, but overall, entirely too long and unnecessary. I dont need those half baked songs of 1 minutes, and the concept is ok but not mind melting
It's full of bangers and super fun, but to call this an album is cheating. It is at best a compilation, a great one at that
Rated 8/10
It's mostly sugary fun fluff, with some lyrics that are pretty on the nose, and I might be a sucker, but I enjoyed it. It sounds too similar to be a 5, but it's good in my book, and had this came out during my youth, I would have been all over it
Rated 6/10
Interesting drums and sounds, not all bad, but gets annoying at times.
Rated 4/10
Ok this is not terrible, but really unnecessary by every measure of the imagination. I like the final track, that is about it. It is however not terribly made so its not horrible, but I'm bored
Rated 6/10
This is equal part dumb and sexist, but I can't quite call it trash cause it's growing on me, and a bit catchy. I do not like most of it, but the songs I do enjoy sound different with each listen. I think it's important work musically, but the lyrics and the character he puts on are a turn off.
Rated 6/10
A perfectly fine album, with songs that sound very similar and not that interesting, but still well made. I understand why someone would absolutely love this, but to me it didn't standard out even a little
Rated 2/10
Motion sickness is a great song. (And they all sound the same anyway)
Rated 10/10
Kind of gorgeous, very simple but polished and seminal. Very few have done it has good as right there, and I understand the boring critic, but in its context it is awesome
Rated 6/10
Not the hangover album I needed. Lots of screaming on great samples, but it sounds too alike, and in the end felt like my stomach
Rated 6/10
Half of it is great, the other I never want to listen to again. Good thing it's only 4 songs, but they really are sprawling, beast of their own so I will not complain about that. The final song in particular is painfull, the reward is good in the end, but nobody got that kind of time and his voice while magnetic is also quite monotone
Rated 10/10
I think this album is very interesting, very few songs on there but they almost all hit, they have purpose and artistery, and I see the vision when putting them together. Golden years is probably the only one that I don't find exceptionnal but even that one I like. Lovely time.
Rated 8/10
This truly great album as definitely something to say and work through music, and that I enjoyed a lot. It can be quite subtle, and therefore probably requires multiple listens. It also strikes a balance between being interesting avant garde and listenable gorgeous music. "The murder mystery" is really impressive, though I don't want to listen to it again, it is necessary, and at the right time in the album, just to let us know we can do songs you have never heard before, therefore every "simple" song means more, cause they are here with purpose. I just don't know that my mind was blown, or my heart truly moved to get to the 5, but I thoroughly enjoyed it
Rated 2/10
I hated that. Way too samey of a soud throughout, and that sound might be a goat from the alps. Not a fan of vibrato in general, but that one irked me in particular. I would add that it is not visionary in any way, no need to listen to that at all
Rated 6/10
Ultimately this is whisper singing way too often by an obsessive guy. I found it interesting that people say Pop Girls talk about their exes too much, but none of that energy is brought here. But the ending of sexism isn't on that record, though the male gaze is a bit heavy handed. Some songs are catchy and well made but most often I was a bit bored and not that surprised.
Rated 6/10
Really strong start, but by the end of the album I felt it was a bit répétitive.
Rated 6/10
A sordid tale, where the first few songs made me believe something cool could happen, and I was getting into it, until it turn in typical 2000 mush by the end. A lazy album in a way, not all bad, but yeah not needed to be heard
Rated 6/10
This is very solid, lots of interesting hooks. I also like that it is not just one thing, and still coherent. But I think I see flaws in it too, some songs feel a bit dated and I don't think the writing is my favorite. It's really good, I get why some people love it, but it's not exactly to my taste.
Rated 8/10
The comments on this album, the top ones at least, are wild. This is good, quite diverse and with lyrics that are quite specific to them, and an interesting blend of genres. Sure, I don't love everything, but they achieved what they set out do, and to me that is worth points. This is important and they aren't that many "punk" girl band out there, and it is more legitimate than the 15000 rock album by dudes past their prime. Chill.
