New rating system because Josh picked it when we started this thing and I don't really like it personally:
How do you rate this album:
1 - Shite - Every single song is terrible and you struggled or indeed failed to finish the album.
2 - Very Bad - It was a chore to listen to and you didn't enjoy any of the songs.
3 - Poor - You didn't enjoy the album but it wasn't a struggle to listen to.
4 - Below Par - By and large you are not a fan, but you didn't hate it.
5 - Meh - You neither hated or loved it. Perhaps one or two songs had potential, but overall this was like background music.
6 - Okay - You enjoyed a couple of songs, but you wouldn't go out of your way to listen to it again
7 - Good - You liked it, and may be encouraged to save some of the songs and check out the artists other work.
8 - Very Good - You would listen to this again, most of the songs were great.
9 - Great - One of the best albums you've ever listened to, with only a few flaws
10 - Another synonym for Great - A perfect album, you consider it to be one of the best of all time

Listened to this for the first time this morning. I particularly liked the song that I recognized from the sample or one of the FE playlists. Obviously grew on me. Some songs were a bit painful perhaps. Overall not a bad impression of it at all though. Needs more time. | | |

The one I selected for FE Playlists was from his other album, so it was probably the sample. | "All this from a slice of gabagool?" |

Yeah it was that one.
Ballad of Nana Doline is very Dylan-esque. I like it. | | |

I had this album on while I was cooking, and my dad walked in while this track was playing and he literally said, "Wow this guy must be a big Dylan fan." | "All this from a slice of gabagool?" |

Listened to this a total of 3 times. I like it, it's good stuff. I think it gets a tad boring after a while, but then the closing song is probably the best song on the album.
Somewhere between a 6 and 7.
6 - Okay - You enjoyed a couple of songs, but you wouldn't go out of your way to listen to it again
7 - Good - You liked it, and may be encouraged to save some of the songs and check out the artists other work.
I would listen to it again. I'm not really encouraged to check out his other work since I think the 11 songs on this album are fine as they are.
Will give it a 7.
Standout songs for me:
Ballad Of Nana Doline
Pyramid Justice
Lockdown On Date Night Tuesday | | |

That was me! I haven’t done a proper write up for it yet—I will next week when I’m back home. | "All this from a slice of gabagool?" |

This started strong, but it lost me after the first three.
From Six Feet Away is annoying af, did this guy take helium before singing that one? And Shower song was annoying too.
Pyramid Justice is one of the strongest tracks for me. I’d probably listen to that again.
Isolation Depression Syndrome was a chore to listen too...really boring and too long. Worst song on the album imo. All the songs starting with Isolation were boring tbh.
As for the ten minute epic, what a letdown!
Some of the songs are way longer than they need to be, this album would have been better if it had been about 40 mins instead of an hour. Would also help if he wrote better songs. Most of them are not that interesting or original musically speaking, even if the lyrics are good.
Guess I’d give this a 6 | | |

I feel like he legit just whipped this up in quarantine and released it.
His debut album is sooooo good, but I don't think I'd recommend this one to a friend. | "All this from a slice of gabagool?" |

I enjoyed Mr. Landlord lol

Yeah, like maybe this album is one that you make for yourself as an artist, but not to sell records. | | |
