---

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.

OK FOLKS THIS BETTER BE GOOD! Low bar to beat from the last two, so I believe we can do it!

There are way too many songs on this album for me. After a while I was kind of done with it, but it’s pretty good pop rock music. Just had my first listen so it is difficult to really judge it. I do wish this just had the best 10 songs rather than 14 though.

well one shouldn't even count as a song. But I love it, and upon multiple listens I think Hands and Golden Dandelions are my favourite.

Goodbye John Smith is my favorite, I’m a sucker for these type of songs and the timing on the album is great because I feel like the rest is a little too uptempo/samey for me and I needed a slower song.

Little boy is one song I need to skip, can’t handle it.

5 songs in and the lead singer sounds like a male Adele. Seems ok so far. Something I would probably like more with more listens through.

I hadn't thought this until you said it. I can see hear that.
