Seanchan - It felt good, but only enough for tenth place. Still, a very respectable showing for Jessie, after I finally got an album of hers through to a ranking! Obviously I'm a big fan of this album; it's super upbeat and catchy, a great mixture of Jessie's vocals and fun beats, especially that middle section. I can understand Fluttershy's criticism to a certain extent, as this album isn't as balanced as her previous effort, What's Your Pleasure?. (Alas, that one failed at the nomination stage.) That I "only" ranked this 3rd is a testament to just how much I enjoyed the 2 albums above it, Crash Kings and <redacted until it drops>.

Fluttershy_Pony - Ehh... I want to say "That! Was Adequate!", but like... *was* it? This album is hyper aggressively not for me; I have a bit of a short fuse when it comes to repeated lyrics and, from what I can tell, her musical style is to just repeat things endlessly. Honestly, this isn't my least favorite album that we've ever covered and it's fine musically, but I just cannot stand this style of music and bounce off of it so completely it's at least a full tier--if not two tiers--below anything else from the cycle. I kinda want to declare this album to have come in 28th Place because there needs to be a larger gap between this album and my pick for next-to-last place. Still, it's.... fine, I suppose? It certainly wouldn't have been last at any previous cycle and it's not bad, it's just... . well, for being 40 straight minutes of my biggest musical pet peeve, it's not the worst thing ever. [Later: Looking back at the previous cycle, I don't think I'd have this in the bottom ten had it been nominated then, so let's say it's more the overwhelming quality of this cycle that is killing this album rather than it being something I very strongly dislike.]
