The Smarks Album Draft Info and discussion thread

Album Listen #98: Her singles standout out - but they are more catchy rather than iconic piece of music. The rest of the album was pretty plain though and as an overall piece - it was struggle. ​

Album Listen #99: This album is actually a game changer for me - I think I've fallen in love with album. It offers something very different - but I really enjoyed listening to it as a complete album. It is just sort of being perfect for me - but it is the closest to getting the perfect ten - without getting it. First album I've awarded half marks too. ​

Album Listen #100: Not the thing I would normally listen too - but the heavy music was actually pretty good. Didn't really gel with the vocalist though - but I suppose that comes with the territory of this type of metal. ​

Album Listen #101: Another rock based instrumental group. The songs that involved guests - do help upscale this album for me, which at the start I was starting to struggle with. Its certainly a genre I'm not most at home with though, but is always interesting to explore new options.​

Breaking the 100 mark - feels like there is slightly less pressure to beat the deadline now.

this album came out around the same time that I really was going through a very difficult time in my life. A lot of personal stuff happening. I listened to this album over and over during those days. It had a lot of shit in it that I related to in so many ways and felt like if there was an album that spoke to a lot of people in their mid-20s and what they go through in life. I'm really stoked you enjoyed it as much as you did.

Album Listen #102: This album is very heavy and aggressive and to have a good feel to it. Was a decent enough listen - but it wasn't setting off fireworks for me. Can't be critical about it though - just not as much of a connection for me. ​

Album Listen #103: Always loved a bit of U2 - but I think I started on cheat mode and built one of their greatest hits albums as a teenager. Never looked at their albums really - maybe one actually. Album is peaceful and relaxing and I think Bono just has a great voice. Its a great record and nothing I would complain about - although IMO doesn't feature some of the songs I prefer. ​

Album Listen #104: Found this a bit to heavy at times. I know people that would love it - but really wasn't feeling it. Listened this a few days ago - because I had rated it, but must have forgotten to share this.

Album Listen #105: Some iconic songs - but others I can happily pass at the same time.​

Album Listen #106: Apart from 'Jump' I really don't know that much Van Halen. Had a cool 80s vibe about it - and felt very chilled and didn't want to be seen as the best album of all time, but rather as an album for everyone to enjoy and have a good time too whilst playing, but also listening too. ​

Album Listen #107: Heard a few songs and really love the album's title song, but upon realization also haven't actually listened to this album either lol. This album was actually really good listen to and I rate this highly - wasn't the ideal listening at times, but yeah was a great album.​

Album Listen #108: Listened to this in the past. Didn't really appeal to me.​

Album Listen #109: This album gives me a feeling of melancholy sadness that is almost unnerving (that just sounds deep/or basis AF LOL). This album has fairly good sound to it - and reminded me of a like softer version of Incubus (which I probably a strange comparison). Curious what they're other material is like though. So might explore in the future. ​
