As a reminder, we have chosen to pick out songs that stuck out to us, or ones that you would listen to again/put on a playlist. There is no hard rule to what songs you have to include here, but they should just be the highlights of the album for you. Try to pick at least two, if you can, but you can throw on as many as you want here. (My normal habit with this is to put a small star next to a song right after I listen to it to remind myself that it stuck out to me.).
On top of this, we are giving the album an official rating from 1-10. Your rating can be off any system or scale that you choose, but here is a general scale just in case you are needing a little help pinpointing where it should be:
|
10. A classic. One of your favorite albums of all time.
9. A great album. One of the best albums of the year.
8. A good album. You would suggest it to a friend.
7. An above average album. The songs hold up pretty well but the album won't change your life.
6. A promising album. There is potential for them to create great music, they just might not have perfected their sound.
5. An okay album. Your life is pretty unbothered after listening to it. You'd listen if it was on but nothing more.
4. An uninspired album. It has a few good songs but the rest were bad.
3. A disappointing album. You expected better from the album and artist and neither delivered on it.
2. A bad album. You would never go out of your way to listen to this artist or album again.
1. A horrible album. You can't understand how this album crawled its way out of a studio. |

Just started listening. So far, some of the songs are good...others are kinda like Evanescence lite to me... | "All this from a slice of gabagool?" |

This is really not my cup of tea. I made it through once, but really really struggled. Wayyy too poppy/commercial. Not a fan of the vocals. A bolt from the blue for example is absolute crap imo, I wanted to turn this off but still made it through and it got a bit better fortunately.
Lemon Eyes is the only song that stands out positively.
I usually give albums multiple tries, but this one stands no chance.
2. A bad album. You would never go out of your way to listen to this artist or album again. | | |

I admire your will to finish what you started even though you didn't like it.
I haven't started to listen to it yet. | | |

After listening to this a couple of times, I decided to give it a "5" using Wikey's scoring system. At no point did I want to turn it off, but also at no point did I look up at my Spotify and have it replay any of the songs.
If I had to pick, I'd say Desire and Lemon Eyes were my favorites, while the others were either slow/boring or unremarkable. This sounded like an album that would be experienced better in a small club as opposed to playing on a computer while working. | | |

going with a 5 as well. Turns out my sample song (Lemon Eyes) is the only one I really liked on there! (: |  |

I think it started out really great, like she put most of the higher energy songs at the beginning of the album. Lemon Eyes was the best song in the second half. | | |

I gave the album a 6 because I didn't want to give Meg another 5 with her looking at me like that. | | |

If this was a music video "album", it probably would have gotten a 7 or 8. | | |

Merc probably needs to pick his choices, so we can select the winner before it rolls into May. | | |
