1. What were your VERY FIRST impressions on listening to the album, say from the first five minutes in?
Björk on a weird acid trip.

2. What did you think of the opening track?
Same answer as number 1.

3. What did you think of the next track?
Same answer as number 1.

4. Did you like the vocalist? Hate him/her? Any impressions?
Not great or awful, just OK.

5. Did the music (only) generally appeal to you, or not?
Some of it was OK and some of it not so much.

6. Did the album get better or worse as you listened to it?
It went back and forth.

7. What did you think of the lyrical content?
Couldn't understand a single word.

8. Did you like the instrumental parts?
See answer to number 5.

9. What did you think of the production?
Sounded OK.

10. Did you know of this artiste prior to listening to the album, and if so, did that foreknowledge colour your perception of this album?
Had heard of her but hadn't heard anything by her.

11. Is this, generally, the kind of music you listen to or not?
Very rarely.

12. Assuming you listened to the album more than once, on repeated listens, did you find you liked the album more, or less?
Listened twice. Liked some of it it a little bit more the second time but not enough for a third listen.

13. What would you class as your favourite track, if you have one?
"Suru Ei" because it had what sounded to me like sort of a Nordic/Japanese combination vibe which I found interesting.

14. And the one you liked least?
"Muusimaa" just sounded too unfocused and sloppy to me.

15. If the album in question is a debut, did that fact allow it, in your mind, any leeway, and if so, was that decision justified or vindicated?
N/A

16. Are you now looking forward to hearing more from this artiste, if you have not heard any of their other material?
Probably not. Overall, the music just didn't do much for me.

17. Were you surprised by your reaction - positive or negative - to the album?
Had no idea what to expect so, no.

18. Did the album end well?
Yes, "Suru Ei" was my favorite song on the album.

19. Do you see any way the album could have been improved?
Maybe leave "Muusimaa" off the album and replace it with another song?

20. Do you think the album hung together well, ie was a fully cohesive unit, or was it a bit hit-and-miss?
I thought it hung together well.

5/10
