⭐ 7.0/10 (Originally written by The_John) I think she has come a long way with her lyrics from past albums; they were a high point compared to usually being a weakness for me. However, I didn't find the music complex enough to keep going back to it. The music is pretty, and there are a few really good tracks, but overall I got bored and feel like this would instead be a good passive listening album for the background. Still my favourite female vocalist though.

⭐ 9.5/10 (Originally written by The_John) Man, for being 14 years old this album has really held up well. Leeland's first album is what opened me up to actually liking worship-style music and I still LOVE this one. Hearing some good sounding electric guitar has made me realize what I've been missing.

⭐ 9.0/10 (Originally written by The_John) I absolutely love Ricky Gervais. I don't usually love sad shows/movies but the humour and touching moments are just so brilliant. Minus a star for the idiot therapist and the fact that anyone pays to talk to him.

⭐ 6.5/10 (Originally written by The_John) This was a relisten as the album is from 2018. Pros: 1. The song Autumn Love was my favourite song in all of 2019. Just so catchy with brilliant guitar and drum styles that complemented each other so well. 2. I was worried about how it would sound since Chris Walla had left after the last album and it wasn't as noticeable as I had feared. Cons: 1. I'm just not seeing the brilliant lyrics of old from Ben Gibbard. 2. There was definite overuse of some guitar effects that started with the last album. Overall, it was just a 'meh' album with some hits (the aforementioned favorite song of the year) but a lot of misses for me. Makes me nostalgic for 'Plans' again.

⭐ 7.0/10 (Originally written by The_John) It was alright. I still don't understand the hype of these movies. Visuals were great, music was hit and miss, connections to the first movie didn't feel natural but rather forced. I found myself enjoying the snacks more than the movie.

⭐ 8.5/10 (Originally written by The_John) Rewatched it and realized I had forgotten a lot of what happened so it was mostly new to me. I'm pretty sure this is my favourite star wars movie, I was genuinely interested in what was going to happen and I mostly forgot about how cheesy star wars tech looks. I just don't understand the lack of communication that happened twice: why didn't Admiral Holdo tell Poe her plan for escape, and why didn't Luke tell the resistance his plan to stall Kylo Ren so they could escape? I dunno.

⭐ 8.5/10 (Originally written by The_John) I'm always a sucker for movies about father/son relationships and I laughed quite a bit. Not a top 5 Pixar movie, but still really great if you like fantasy with elves and magic stones and stuff.

⭐ 7.0/10 (Originally written by The_John) Interesting space opera about a spaceship's AI that inhabits many human bodies at once (its ancillaries) in addition to the ship. After being wronged by a dictator, it ends up stuck in one human body and goes on a quest for revenge. It was quite confusing at times and I wished the author had taken more time to explore the different worlds and cultures, but interesting nonetheless

⭐ 7.0/10 (Originally written by The_John) Kind of a weird movie. Visuals and acting were amazing, had some action, but a lot of eerie background music with philosophical introspection.

⭐ 7.5/10 (Originally written by The_John) Solid action movie and interesting since based on a true story. Got a bit confusing with the different countries and who was having him do the deliveries.
