The first four songs are absolutely iconic which was my main draw to this album. The problem for me was the complete loss of momentum behind the remaining tracks which gives this project a C/C+ at best. If, somehow, Paparazzi's magic could have been extended into the entire project this would be the greatest pop album of its decade.
Nothing sounded bad (except for CS) but nothing was memorable either. I enjoyed Fire Alarm a lot and the doodoo bar on Rehab was funny. Nicki showing up and giving maga a booty definition was cool too. idk, I'd give them a C if this were an exam.
Extremely cute and sweet sounding. The type of music to make you remember your first love
I listened to the first few songs and felt related to cause she kept name dropping locations but it felt like one long song interrupted by rap i did not want to hear. I LOVE the song titled after the album though
Edit: Deleted rating and will revisit when I know more of her music
accordion got me floating

Returning almost a year or maybe longer later to reflect on the moments of time I will never forget. The joy of students, the explosion of springtime, the beauty of patience and the grace of human aging
Sometimes you couldnt hear Danny but other than that its really good.
This is my first perfect score of the year and I will not take any argument against it
Frog on the floor is by far my favorite song on this project. The 26 minute run time is perfect and it kept me interested and never lingered.
Two Weeks has been on too many of my autoplays for the intro piano to do anything but trigger my fight or flight but the rest of the album is fantastic.
I kept thinking of other bands that did what each song attempted but better. It wasn't anything I hated but I certainly couldn't get past the bare feeling I had and urge to turn another album on when I got reminded of something else I enjoyed.
So so good. Nothing beats simple, enjoyable stuff from a group with great cohesion.
Favorite: tie between The Next Time Around and For No Ones Better Sake
My jaw was through the floor from the start, absolutely incredible.
Drawback could come from the songs having very similar instrumentals throughout, otherwise I was entertained and enjoying the whole project. B to B+
