---
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. |

I really like 'Pristine', the sample track I picked from this and one of the singles.
Hoping the rest of the album can match that quality | |

I listened to this at work. It’s OK I guess. Need to give it more time. I’m just not really keen on the female vocals and most songs sounded the same to me, but this may be due to the fact that this is not the type of music that I normally listen to (same issue most ppl had with Roo Panes). | |

Can someone point this old man towards the easiest way to (freely) listen to this album? I'd hate to give it a terrible rating before actually listening to it, and then deciding it's terrible. | |

That might work. Or Spotify, with annoying commercial msgs. | |

Why would you rate something you didn’t listen to at all? | "All this from a slice of gabagool?" |

Looking at the album cover isn't enough? | |

Pristine is pretty good. I haven't heard anything else besides the intro. But that intro perfectly matched the album cover :P | |

Snail Mail is a terrible band name, are we all in agreement here? | |

Just listened through the entire album. Instinctively I gave it a 3/10, but reading the descriptions (after I voted), I'd probably give it a 2/10 instead. Every song sounded exactly the same, and it about put me to sleep at my desk this afternoon. I wouldn't feel like I was missing out on something if I didn't hear anything from this artist again. | |
