Mega_Mana - There's something in his music that just goes within my skin. It resonates and carries me on its melancholy travels. Good morning, heartache! You're like an old friend, come and see me again. Absolutely incredible. Ranking the tracks for this was so difficult because I could rearrange them top-to-bottom completely differently after every other listen. Love this.

Sheep007 - Gorgeous, in places. River Man is an incredible song, an absolute masterpiece. Drakes voice is beautiful, and Cello Song is another highlight. I just dont feel strongly enough about the rest of it to rank it at the top. Could easily have been top 7 or 8 in a different cycle.

Bitto - Enjoyable album that really does not fit what I look for in music. I usually just vibe with the music and can't differentiate it, but I don't find myself bored at all.

rwlh - I like music that makes me feel all kinds of things, but in listening to Five Leaves Left I realized I tend to not like music that makes depressed, and this is a very depressing album for me the string arrangements and acoustic guitar and Drakes voice all paint this bleak picture. The lyrics are sometimes light but deeper sadness permeates pretty much every second of this. Its hard to listen to, not helped by knowledge of Drakes tragic life story. I cant believe I found my limit for strong emotions in music. Dang. =/ (That said Id still rather listen to Five Leaves Left again than, say, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. At least Five Leaves Left doesnt have skits.)

Suprak_the_Stud - "Grade: D+
Song of the Cycle Nominations: N/A
Song of the Cycle Honorable Mentions: Saturday Sun, Cello Song
General Thoughts: I dont really hate this one but I find it almost completely and utterly unremarkable. I dont know enough about music to know why this was nominated, but it is the one Im most curious about being included here. I feel like Ive heard this same sort of artist roughly 30 times at every music night in a bar or pub around here for the last couple of decades. I think I probably wouldve enjoyed this more if I really sat down and"

Seanchan - This is just not an album for me. I wouldn't call it bad but it's not something I'm going to listen to again.
