The track list ratings vs. album score on this are frankly insane.

Solid release with some very pleasant tracks

A significant improvement in production and songwriting. The kid might just have the chops and the backing now.

Came for the tattoo, stayed for the experience.

What happens if you take a great album with a very specific, nuanced sound and just added MORE of that secret sauce that glued the album together. That's where you get this remix album. These songs become surprising sensual, dreamlike, and esoteric with just the slow down feeling like putting a 45 rpm record on at 33. What a great remix album.

THIS ALBUM IS OBJECTIVELY HILARIOUS

Pretty sure that Cruel is the unreleased banger that Katy Perry inextricably didn't put onto Teenage Dream and has refused to release for the last decade+

I swear this guy sounds just like Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol.

I can't think of a band this year that benefitted from a production change as much as Pale Waves did on this one. Fantastic incorporation of 80s pop via a mix of classic Cocteau Twins with modern twists like The Aces (and the same producer). A pretty good set of songs bumps this up into the 80s for me. A pleasant surprise of an album if I ever heard one.

As a now longtime fan of Trace Mountains, I always appreciate how the singles for each album set up your expectations perfectly. After" In A Dream" and "Hard to Accept" came out, the sound palette was clearly laid out and they delivered consistently great production and vibes alongside some more excellently written songs and introspective lyrics. Truly a great job flipping their sound into 80s-influenced synth layers that are never overbearing or synthetic, but accentuate ... read more

Y'all's ratings are surprisingly negative for how positive the comments are. This is pretty great for what it is. Not the most ambitious album ever, but it nails what it's trying to do.

WOW! Was not expecting to love this album as much as I did after the singles. Greyhound and Hell 99 both fit beautifully within the album context. I generally liked the pop hooks on Draw Down The Moon, even if it was clearly not as adventurous as Nearer My God. This album, however, takes their bombast to all sorts of new levels with the noise rock influence. Great self-titled album.

You think you remember how much Some Nights the song carries this album, but you really don't remember how rough the rest of it can get.

Calling your album Short n' Sweet is basically calling it "inessential and not really trying to make a point," which is basically where Sabrina sits in pop music in the year 2024. Maybe one day she'll meet her Dan Nigro and make an album that doesn't sound like the mass summation of people's expectations for her, but this is definitely not it. It's short. It's sweet. But it isn't asking me to come back for another listen.

Imagine Dragons + actual rappers. This used to be a band with one of the more talented pop guitarists in the world. You would have no idea by listening to this.

Solid debut album, surprisingly cohesive and with some pretty good standouts.

This album is going to single-handedly undo the popularity of the soft-spoken vocalist popularized by Lorde back in 2013. BRING POP BACK CHAPPELL

I was going to say this was overhated, but why did Drake need a whole song to himself??!!! Did he put you on the payroll Camila? This is supposed to be a rebranding??? I get a feature, but the whole song is just a stupid idea.

Okay, this album sucks but "Drink Up" is an ABSOLUTE BOP. That increases the rating by at least 40 points.

The Talk Talk influence is phenomenal, she sounds like a predecessor to Florence + the Machine at their most ethereal. Wildly underrated in the 90s indie scene.
