None So Vile by Cryptopsy

There were a few standout tracks here, but the brutality weighed out the technicality and that wasn't too fun for me.

#48

Tijuana Moods by Charles Mingus

One of the more tropical Jazz records that I've listened to

#49

Money Jungle by Duke Ellington / Charlie Mingus / Max Roach

Solid! Fun!

Sketches Of Spain by Miles Davis

🥰 Still on the first track, but this is already shaping up to be a killer record.

Across The Dark by Insomnium

Great, but not as good as the previous album.

Close To A World Below by Immolation

Wasn't too impressed, but it's alright. There wasn't much fun to be had with this record.

#43

Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair by La Dispute

I don't really like this artist. I find La Dispute to be pseudo-intellectual and cringe-worthy, but this album is pretty good. Definitely their best work.

Elements by Atheist

Talk about diversity, this is wonderful!

Ballads by John Coltrane Quartet

This is dope, mellow Coltrane. Loving this! About to finish this wonderful, uplifting record.

The abundance of time via youth, right?

Yee, since I graduated yesterday and have about a week until I start working, I'm taking this time to delve into more music. I'm used to this whole 30 new albums/week thing that I've been doing for the past year and a half, but now that'll be changing. I hope to keep the number from 10-20, though.

Suffer by Bad Religion

This was okay, nothing that special here. Even at its short duration, it still felt lengthy.

Sail Away by Randy Newman

This was great! I love the length (30 minutes) because it makes for a fun and quick listen. Will definitely be checking out his other work

Perverted By Language by The Fall

After listening to that album from The Chameleons earlier, I've felt the need to listen to more Post-Punk, so here we are.

Glad as of yet not too much "#hyped" or "#trill" comments yet. 😉

But yeah, Americana, country, folk, whatever the duck uou call that, its good to see you're taking in a lot of that.

If you haven't heard "Anodyne" by Uncle Tupelo, I recommend it. It's probably the most accessible album in their discog and it's right up there with March 16-20 for my favorite as well.

Edit: oh and didn't you already do a ULL? It's fine if this is your 2nd. I just remember recommending you a Todd Rundgren album at one point and I thought it was for your ULL. Maybe that was Goodsir or suede...?

Haha, for sure! I'll check that out, too! I really should write more about each album, but it's physically painful to type out large blocks of text. I have an unknown issue that stretches from my fingers to my shoulders and that puts a bit of a limitation on it all. This is my second ULL. Since Gowi restarted them, I decided that I would take another spot.

I do revisit albums from time to time, but I find it thrilling to be able to listen to new albums all the time. I do articulate my opinions with more words, etc. from time to time, but like I said above, it is physically difficult to do so. Writing is actually one of my favorite things to do, so not being able to type up a proper response to an album is rather disappointing. I'm pretty vocal about what I like over in the Skype calls though! Message me if you want to join (this goes for everybody).

Killer by Alice Cooper

This was okay, not much more. I prefer the more somber parts of this record as the hard rocking bits of it didn't feel too right for me.

Recommended for: People who like rock music from the '70s

To Bring You My Love by P.J. Harvey

This record surprised me! My entrance to PJ was Let England Shake and that record was (is still) mediocre for me, and then I listened to Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea and was left appreciating her a little more, but I still wasn't sold. Fast forward a few months and i listened to White Chalk and dug the emotional aspect of it, but ehh, something didn't feel right. Now fam, oh we get to this here record. This was wonderful! Well, in comparison to her other work, that is.
