Songs So Good We Pretend We Like the Entire Album
There are songs that are perfect pieces because they combine melody and emotion perfectly, making us believe that the entire album by a certain artist or band must be equally brilliant.
But when we see the full album, the excitement turns to frustration after being told that their songs aren't as good and catchy as the hit that captivated us.
Then, we realize that what captivated us about that album was just an isolated gem.
Next, we'll review many of the songs that captivated us, but the entire album disappointed us, such as Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn", “I Melt With You” by Modern English and Billie Myers' "Kiss the Rain”.
