---
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 listened to it. It's good, but not as good as some of his later albums.
Signed Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours is obviously a great song. The other song that stood out was the cover of We Can Work It Out, though the original is better imo. | | |

About half of these songs were written by someone else, and Stevie was only co writer on the rest.
His best stuff came a bit later after this album.

This did nothing for me, but I didn't mind it either. May give it another go and then rate it. | | |

Gave it a 6
I loved the first 4 songs. Heaven Help Us All is such a great song and my personal favorite on this album. It was a song I hadn't heard before and it really fits the climate of today.
Problems, the rest of the album was just blah. Almost like he mailed it in or didn't write the songs and didn't care about them.
Tough to say as he's my favorite artist of all time, but this album isn't up to par with some of his other work. |

It is quite OK, it's nice background music and probably a bit more than that. I would not listen to it again probably, but if it'd be on I wouldn't mind it. So the 5 is fitting, though on a normal scale I'd probably rate it 6.5/10.
