  • Enjoyable Album with Repetitive Melodies

    4 out of 5 stars
    dusyjalMay 30, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm really enjoying this album. I wasn't familiar with the artist beforehand. I took a chance based on the label and the cover art. I'm loving 'Back Back' and 'Slow Drag.' The melodies are a bit too repetitive for my taste, though.

  • Poor Packaging, Great Sound

    The packaging is really poor and feels quite cheap. The vinyl also appears quite grimy. Fortunately, the mastering and sound quality are excellent. However, don't anticipate Tone Poet standard of excellence. Given this level of attention and packaging, they ought to be priced around 20$ max.

  • Surprisingly Great Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    fyegiv.hacyDecember 7, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Despite the not so good comments here, I was happily surprised. After giving it an ultrasonic clean, it sounds amazing. I'm really enjoying the music, it's quite uplifting. I grabbed it for a steal from imusic, it was on special.

  • Loud but Awesome Tunes

    Quite loud, but there's some awesome tunes too. Definitely would suggest this to a buddy! 😉
