Track 1: Beautiful Afternoon, Pop/Rock, simple melody, catchy lyrics, overall it’s a little weak I don’t think I would’ve made it Track #1…

 

Track 2: Swimming with Sharks, Evil/Blues, reminds me of Sid Barrett’s solo work, which is to say without a doubt very good, I’d say this is better…

 

Track 3: FU (If You), Pop/Rock, this one is different and very good.  Unexpected lyrics and very solid melody make this one a track worthy of repeating…

 

Track 4: England, Pop/Rock, this is probably the best song on the album; it would definitely be the radio single off the album.  Talk about catchy, it reminds me of the Beatles, and anything that can do that genuinely today gets a thumb up from me…

 

Track 5: Clone July, Jazz/Blues/Pop, Woodstock’s unique sound definitely works here where it didn’t in Beautiful Afternoon.  The music, at times, is a little Cabana, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing…

 

Track 6: Mickey Finn, Acoustic/Lounge, dark lyrics and a dark melody make this song come together in a cloud of cigarette smoke.  This is really great song, one of the better songs on the album…

 

Track 7: Between Us, Blues/ Lounge, a somber love song with a perfect soundtrack, this one is quite a gem…

 

Track 8: Right Thing, Pop/Weird, another Beatley Sid Barrett-like creation, another great track…

 

Track 9: Tongue Tied: Rock, the fastest song on the album, it seems Woodstock’s style couldn’t handle anything quicker than a ballad, but it works out just fine.  In fact, I’d like to see more like this one…

 

Track 10: Road Movie, Blues/Lounge, repetitive lyrics and very basic music make this a quite boring track, worthy of the Skip>>> button…

 

Track 11: Resolution, Rock, great lyrics and great music, definitely makes up for the weakness in the last track…

 

Track 12: Emotional at Airports, Electronic/Pop, I can’t even say how bad this track is, the intro should have told me not to keep listening but I did, and it didn’t get any better…

 

Track 13: Circus, Acoustic, a good song to end the album, the music could’ve been a little more diverse, but it was so monotonous that I couldn’t listen, great lyrics again…

 

 

The rating given hear is purely on a song by song basis, if I had to rate Woodstock Taylor the artist with this album I’d give her a 9 for an originality that is not only amazing but also refreshing to see and hear in a time where modern popular music is probably the worst it’s ever been, and most music appreciators are turning to independent artists like Woodstock for there GOOD music fix…
