When you posted this there were no scores below 7. Is 7 an average score?

7 is below the mean score being given to the songs across the album, so in that sense it's average. If your score puts it in the lower third of the album, that's "average". Relatively speaking. ~

[08] Happy

[09] Froot

[10] I'm a Ruin

[10] Blue

[09] Forget

[7.5] Gold

[09] Can't Pin Me Down

[8.5] Solitaire

[09] Better Than That

[08] Weeds

[11] Savages

[09] Immortal

 

Average: [9]

It's so difficult because I could give all these songs justification for any score above the lowest 7.5 depending on what aspect of the song I focused on. Like Immortal could've easily been my 11 in terms of lyrical themes and vocals but it could also be the 9 I gave it for overall enjoyment when listening and the sometimes too floaty production. And I'd be happy with given it either! Same goes with the rest of the songs, but with things like how much I listen to them being the deciding factor for the purpose of the rate.

11 // Happy

A novel concept of average but if that is what you meant then that's fine.

Mean score and average score is the same thing, isn't it?

Great response to this already! And there's still quite a few Froot listeners that I hope will rate over the next week(Rabbit, Umi, Pav, Iz etc). Should be an interesting set of results because people's favourites and least favourites all seem very different to one another.

Yes they are the same.

 

But there's a difference between the terms "THE average score" and "AN average score" which is why I misunderstood Jark.

That is an incredibly consistent rate. :o A tiny standard deviation.

I will vote in this, but I still want to sit with the album a bit more. The 'Gold' apathy is saddening, though, but I can sort of understand people not going for it - it's so laid back and casual, it almost seems lazy, except for the fact that the chorus is so repetitively earwormy.

'Gold', particularly the chorus, really reminds me stylistically of some other female singer (or perhaps a particular song?) and it's really annoying me! Anyone have an idea of what I'm talking about?!

 

I shall also get around to doing this when the album has settled a bit. ^_^

I'm almost certain you're thinking of Kate Bush song, I can't remember the title at the moment but I had it figured out when I first heard the album.

It's the Better than That disdain that's perplexing. The verses are so seductive.

Repetitive and irritating. It's too bouncy.

I LOVE gold, I guess it takes time to grow on you.

Will give this a listen over the next week, thanks Joe :heart:
