Even though I really enjoyed it, I don't find this album as groundbreaking and amazing as everyone else seems to do. The highlight for me is definitely its production. We got the chance to listen to many incredible instrumental breaks through if not all, then most, of the tracks. It also got really chaotic in moments which worked great with the themes in the album and songs. I quite liked "Hope" as the closing track, this ironic turn between the title and what the song actually ... read more

I don't even know where to start with this!! I loved it. Recording with a live band was such a good choice, cheers to her for making this decision and being bold enough to remake the album once she realized it wasn't what she was looking for. I don't think this is something we see often these days and it definitely wouldn't be the same without it. Lizzy creates these really personal and introspective songs that deal with themes such as guilt in a relationship, grief and, of ... read more

I don't get how so many people don't like this? Her voice is so soothing and the production flawlessly acompannies the lyrics with fun and cute details (like the background sound in 'Easy Tiger').

An improvement from the last couple of ones. I think that having so many of these with such a short compilation of songs isn't doing him any favours. I don't understand how he pairs the songs up, like what makes him put them in age tape 12 instead of age tape 11? I don't see much of a difference between the EPs. This one has songs I liked a little bit more, but I don't think it's really different from the other ones.

"I heard you like magic I've got a wand and a rabbit" has to be the best lyric ever written

Not as good as her previous work, I trully don't get how people think this is on her top 3. I liked it of course, it's catchy and something I've definitly gone back to and listened more than once since it came out. However, unlike her previous albums there doesn't seem to be a growth between what she has done before and this one. Although I expected more from her, this album is still a hit and, overall, it has really good songs. The only one that I genuinley didn't like or enjoy is 'i wish i ... read more

At first listen, it might be hard to absorve everything and hear pass the folky sounds that dominate this album, which I liked but understand might not be for everyone, especially in an album where all these "similar" songs are set together. In general, the rythms are smooth and catchy, the songs seem to flow from one to the other, giving a river like feeling (does this make sense or am i delusional?). The only thing I would say about this is that, while it doesn't happen in the album ... read more

After the excellence that was Sour as a debut album, expectations were high for what was to come next. Not only did Olivia meet these expectations, but she exceeded them. Guts is a greaaat album, diving deeper into the pop rock genre than she did before, while still including ballads and softer tracks. She succeeds in presenting a pretty diverse record in terms of emotions. Her writing and storytelling that makes it easy for one to realte to her experiences, we get to feel anger, jealousy, ... read more

There's songs in here that I liked but mostly it seemed like neh. I expected more, or maybe just something different. It felt like it was lacking in some way. It could be worse but I thought it would be better

I got so lost in how beautiful her voice sounded that I had no idea what she said until I read the lyris. 'Welcome To My Island' is, in my opinion a great way to open the album, it introduces (or welcomes) us into the vibe we should expect from this album. She manages to follow a theme and sound without it being repetitive or too much of the same, but instead achieving to harmonize the songs seamlessly. She's able to create an alluring getaway into this 'island' of sorts that she presented the ... read more

'The Ride' shows a more mature style while staying true to Johnny's sound. Some growth and evolution can be appreciated in the album but within the same type of music he's being creating since the begging of his career. Although the type of production used isn't really my style—especially in larger segments where it can feel repetitive—I still enjoyed many of the songs and think it's a well-made album.

p.s. Also 'Party For Two', kind of reminded me of a WDW song from '8 letters' ... read more

The lyrics? The vocal performance?? The instrumentals??? The visuals?? Let me raise my glass to the hosts of this dinner party for creating such an amazing record. 'Prelude to Ecstasy' is a phenomenal debut album that dives into themes like lust, heartbreak, and gender envy, all coupled with big melodies and sounds I can only describe as hunger (though I'm not exactly sure for what). This album is well on its way to becoming one of my all-time favorites.

What does age tape even means at this point?

The production feels simultaneously too much and too little, specially on 'indigo'.

Honestly, I was afraid of how the album's sound would be after listening to the singles. It was really bold of him to go for that 80s synth sound, and I wasn't sure I would like it but I think he did a really good job with it. It's not my favourite of his albums by far, but it's still good and a fun listen. I think the more I listen to it the more I like it, so maybe the rating will change in the future? (edit: it did)

I enjoyed the songs, but at this point the age tape idea that seemed fun and original at the beginning is just confusing. I don't want to say that all the songs sound the same because they don't, at the same time, I don't think my brain is processing any of them beacuse I heard them quite a few times and still can't recognize which of them is playing.

The first time I truly listened to a Fleetwood Mac song was when I was 14. It was after reading the quote 'Thunder only happens when it's raining', not the most groundbreaking quote at all, but cool enough to pique my interest and make me go listen to the song it was being quoted from, this being Dreams. I, of course, had heard songs by Fleetwood Mac before, on the radio or in the background without really paying attention to them, but this simple quote got me into listening to the song and ... read more

Linda Ronstadt's fifth album contains a wide range of genres and moods throughout its songs. While many of the tracks are covers through her interpretation Linda pours her heart and soul in each of them, transforming them into deeply personal expressions and in doing so, she makes these songs hers in a whole different way.

I'm not sure what my problem with this album is. The songs are fine, some of them even great in my opinion, or not great but that I genuinely enjoyed. Individually, each of the songs have catchy rythms and well-written and introspective lyrics, that often feature nice imagery. However, put together, they make the record as a whole seem lacking of something, a certain spark to make it truly stand out and leave a lasting impression. It's not a bad album at all, but there's something missing to ... read more

This album showcases a perfect mix of rock and blues. My favorites on the record are the more upbeat and rock-oriented songs such as "Thing Called Love," "Love Letter," and "Real Man," which I found to be more captivating than the rest of the tracks due to their energetic instrumentation and melodies. These songs being at the beginning of the album set high expectations for what was to come, which unfortunately weren't met later on. While I appreciate blues music, ... read more
