1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really looking forward to "Songs that cast a summer spell," but I was disappointed. The songs all sounded the same, with repetitive melodies and generic lyrics. I was hoping for something more unique and memorable. Overall, I found the album to be quite forgettable and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. John - 2/5 stars - I found "Songs that cast a summer spell" to be boring and unoriginal. The melodies were predictable, and the lyrics lacked depth. It felt like the artist wasn't putting much effort into the album. There are so many other summer-themed albums out there that are much more enjoyable and worth listening to. I would pass on this one.
