The pop/r&b style was executed really well and there was a lot of solid songwriting throughout. I also genuinely like the vocal performance as well. My main problem is with the production and the various mixing decisions, it's just really muddy at times and quite inconsistent.

Spooky by Lush gets a 8/10. I really liked the overall dream pop and shoegaze influences throughout. There are many moments of great atmosphere and really engaging sonic landscapes. I particularly enjoyed the more melancholy vibes of the album and the vocals as well.

The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd gets a 10/10. I think this is one of the most highly praised albums of all time for a reason. Every song is a masterpiece in its own right, and the album as a whole is a complete journey. The production quality is absolutely impeccable and the mix of progressive rock and psychedelic rock is executed beautifully. I also really enjoyed the concept and overall themes explored throughout, it truly feels like a classic that's aged like fine wine.

(A) Lust For Life by Girls gets a 7/10. I enjoyed the overall musicality. It felt like it seamlessly blended different elements of indie rock, shoegaze, and dream pop. I loved the way the vocals were incorporated throughout and I genuinely thought the song was pretty catchy. I think the production was solid and it felt nicely cohesive. However, it felt like it didn't do anything really all that unique or memorable either, it was simply solid, which means it loses a few points.

(B) Life In San ... read more
