---

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:

Quote
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.

I enjoyed it the first time through. Songs sounded a bit samey, but that may change.

Gave it another try this morning.

It's weird cuz I really really like it. But it doesn't really stick? Like it still feels like one very long song; a very good one though. She Came Home for Christmas is another noticeable song.

Anyone else gave it a try?

If there was a poll, I'd give this an 8 and if I had time to listen to it more I'd probably go with a 9. I really liked this album. MIght be the best one out of the FE Listens to date.

Symmetry is my favourite so far of the 4 I listened to.

First three songs did absolutely nothing for me, I didn't like them. Then Symmetry came on. It is really nice.

I don't think I've ever listened to an album were I really liked one song and disliked all the rest. Symmetry >>>> the rest of the album.

Leaving that song aside, the rest of the album is very samey imo. Last song was okay I suppose. I'm not a fan of this sound in general though. It's too polished.

Giving it a three, as I only really liked one song.

In the end, this is all too samey for me. Most songs kinda sound the same. I really like their sound and a couple songs stand out. She Came Home for Christmas is my favorite, I love it.

Hence, not bad at all and I think I will continue listening to these guys, but also not worth more than a 6. " A promising album. There is potential for them to create great music, they just might not have perfected their sound."
