It's funny, YouTube is such an inconvenient way for me to listen to albums that I sometimes forget other people use it for that.

Oh yeah I know that. YorkeDaddy said he was downloading that album, and I'm pretty sure you can't download from Spotify so I was just curious what he was using.

It's pretty hard to ask "You seriously don't know about downloading music on the internet?" without sounding condescending so I'll just admit to it in this post.

I use torrents. Unless you're searching for super-obscure stuff, basically everything you could ever want to listen to is really easy to find on some of the bigger torrent sites.

Are you disparaging me because I don't know how to download music illegally?

lulz.

I also don't know where I would find drugs if I wanted to buy them either.

Bro, there's a tremendously high chance that there's a drug dealer within like half a mile of where you live. Downloading music and buying drugs are very easy things to do.

Sorry, I was just mad because Goofle appeared to insult me with no provocation.



Look all I'm saying is, if anybody needs help finding an album for this club, we'll help you do that.

What were your VERY FIRST impressions on listening to the album, say from the first five minutes in (first time)?

"Why God why?".

Did your first impressions change, i.e., did the album get better or worse as you listened to it (first time)?

It didn't necessarily get better or worse. It's the same sort of thing all the way through, so maybe I started to dislike it more due to repetition?

Which was stronger in your opinion, the opening tracks (first 2-3 songs), or the ending tracks (last 2-3 songs)?

Though it contradicts with my previous answer, I actually preferred the last 5/6 tracks more than the first.

On repeated listens (if you did so), did you find you liked the album more, or less? Feel free to be very detailed if you like.

I did not listen again.

What is your favorite track from the album, if you have one?

"Back In Time"

What is your least favorite track from the album, if you have one?

"Crazy"

Did you change your favorite or least favorite track as you listened to the album?

I think I could have changed that opinion regularly to be honest.

How would you describe the variety of tracks available on this album? Feel free to be very detailed if you like.

The variety is basically non-existent.

What is the overall mood on this album?

Plastic smiles?

Is this an album you would listen to again all the way through (for personal, recreational use, outside of listening to it for this club), or are there just a few songs that you would listen to?

No.

How well do you already know the band/artist?

I know them because of "Blue" and "Move Your Body", both of which aren't on here unfortunately.

If you are familiar with this band/artist, how would you compare this album to any of their earlier/later material?

Those two songs are miles better than anything on here.

Do you see any way the album could have been improved?

Yes, as I didn't like it much. It's too fake and bouncy, without being particularly catchy.

Would you recommend this album to others?

Nope.

Are you interested in listening to more albums by this band?

Nope.

What sub-genre, if any, would you assign this music to?

Euro-pop/Electro-pop.

Your overall album rating on a scale of 1-10 (whole numbers please. Also, please BOLD or otherwise make this rating easy to see)?

2/10

Did you like the vocalist? Hate him/her? Any impressions?

I didn't hate him but I certainly didn't like him.

What did you think of the lyrical content?

Probably would have been better without lyrics.

Were there any songs where you thought the repeated vocals were annoying?

1 through 17.

Did any of the remixes of the songs change your view of the original songs (i.e., did you like the remix version better, worse)?

To be honest, I didn't listen to the remixes on here (that were available on the Spotify version).

What do you think of the production?

Far too clean and sticky.

Any other thoughts you had about this album you would like to share?

It's good to know people with such little talent can make money off making music.

  1. What were your VERY FIRST impressions on listening to the album, say from the first five minutes in (first time)?

    Solid production, decently catchy, but I hate the vocalist and how simple all the dance beats/synths are. Nothing is catching my attention at all.

  2. Did your first impressions change, i.e., did the album get better or worse as you listened to it (first time)?

    Not really, the album is WAAAAAAAY WAY WAY WAY WAY TOO LONG. This is a point I will probably be stressing in the rest of the questions too.

  3. Which was stronger in your opinion, the opening tracks (first 2-3 songs), or the ending tracks (last 2-3 songs)?

    The songs were so uninteresting and similar that I honestly cannot differentiate any of the songs off the top of my head in any way. Also this is the most pointlessly long album I've ever heard. Just thought I'd mention that again.

  4. On repeated listens (if you did so), did you find you liked the album more, or less? Feel free to be very detailed if you like.

    I don't really want to listen to it again tbh :/

    (Mostly because of the length)

  5. What is your favorite track from the album, if you have one?

    "King of Lullaby" was pretty solid, actually.

  6. What is your least favorite track from the album, if you have one?

    "One Goal" might be one of the worst songs I've ever heard.

  7. Did you change your favorite or least favorite track as you listened to the album?

    No, I knew pretty much right away that "One Goal" was really, really bad and that "King of Lullaby" was one of the most interesting, solid tracks I was gonna get.
  8. How would you describe the variety of tracks available on this album? Feel free to be very detailed if you like.


    Oh god, there basically is no variety whatsoever. Be ready for some of the most cookie cutter boyband electropop you've ever heard.

  9. What is the overall mood on this album?

    Um, dance-y
  10. Is this an album you would listen to again all the way through (for personal, recreational use, outside of listening to it for this club), or are there just a few songs that you would listen to?

    I don't plan on listening to this again the whole way through ever again for the rest of my life.

  11. How well do you already know the band/artist?

    Not at all besides "Blue (Da Ba Dee)".

  12. If you are familiar with this band/artist, how would you compare this album to any of their earlier/later material?

    N/A

  13. Do you see any way the album could have been improved?

    Get Lauren Mayberry to sing instead. Come up with more interesting melodies, use anything besides the most basic foundational trance synths that exist.

  14. Would you recommend this album to others?

    Not unless they really enjoy simple dance music.

  15. Are you interested in listening to more albums by this band?

    Nope.

  16. What sub-genre, if any, would you assign this music to?

    Dance pop.

  17. Your overall album rating on a scale of 1-10 (whole numbers please. Also, please BOLD or otherwise make this rating easy to see)?

    3/10 is the best I can do.
