Albums You've Listened To Today, V.9

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Coldplay - Moon Music

 

This won’t make almost anyone’s year end top ten but mine. I could try to explain why I love it, or just tell you that it means a lot to me, as Coldplay albums somehow always do.

The Linda Lindas - No Obligation

 

I enjoy this a lot! Not a top of my list kind of record but totally something I would buy.

 

Pearl Jam - Dark Matter

 

I am less negative towards this than my initial reaction, but I think that has a lot more to do with liking the sound of the band than this particular record. And I do still think the compression and pitch correction of Vedder’s voice is egregious.

agreed.  the album is not awful.  but the pitch correvtion is STUPID.  especially since from live clips i've seen he does not need it.  and this producer andrew Watt.  needs to stick to pop where he came from.  Every rock group he's produced sounds like a dog's taint.

I love Dark Matter and have no issue with the sound! It still comes close to my AOTY, it's very close between this and The Cure.

Leonard Cohen - Old Ideas

Rolling Stones - Got Live If You Want It! (first streaming listen btw)

Queen - A Day at the Races

Blood Incantation- Absolute Elsewhere

 

Well this blew me away and I'm in awe. Maybe the best extreme metal release in many, many years! It's like vintage Opeth, Behemoth and kraut-rock had an orgy

Did you notice the Pink Floyd section on track 5, the singer even sounds like Rogers Waters a bit?

I did! This is my second listen of this album. I liked their 2019 album a lot (forgot about it though...).

 

This album feels like if death metal emerged in 1972.

10/10

 

But I give their entire discography this rating

To be fair I don't really like Weezer so I'm not the right person to talk too about them. But I do love Blue!

Ah well that’ll do it, lol

 

Blue is amazing. I’m sure no other album of their’s is ever gonna top its reputation. There is at least one though that I do like better, and perhaps two with OK Human.

The Warning - Keep Me Fed

 

ooooooo wait…. I think it clicked. I don’t rescind my analysis of what this is, but I am reevaluating how much I enjoy it. It’s a heavy pop album, and actually it’s pretty tightly wound, with lots of ear candy. I dig it. Still probably not as much as their last two, but yes, this is good.

 

Sorry, J. I didn’t get it at first.

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Middle Kids - Faith Crisis Vol. 1

 

Good enough to enjoy, but there’s just not a lot of depth to these songs I find.

[bluefox4000]

Sabrina Carpenter Short n Sweet  (8/10)

 

I really like her but as i said this wasn't AOTY material for me.  I think her previous record blows this one away.

 

But i do really like her.
