1. Michelle - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Surf Curse's Orange Peel album, but I was left feeling disappointed. The songs lack originality and seem to blend together, making it difficult to differentiate one track from another. The lyrics also failed to grab my attention, with repetitive and cliché phrases that didn't offer anything new or thought-provoking. Overall, I found the album to be forgettable and underwhelming.
2. Andrew - 1 star - Surf Curse's Orange Peel album was a complete disappointment for me. The music felt uninspired and lacked any genuine emotion. The lyrics were shallow and failed to connect on a deeper level. The whole album just sounded like a monotonous blend of generic indie pop. I was hoping for something more exciting and innovative, but unfortunately, this was not it. I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone looking for a unique musical experience.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to Surf Curse's Orange Peel, considering the positive reviews it received, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The songs felt repetitive and lacked depth. The melodies were forgettable, with no standout tracks that really stood out to me. The production was also underwhelming, making the overall sound of the album feel flat. While it wasn't terrible, it just fell short of delivering the captivating experience I was hoping for.
