Feeling better today, so you get comments. You lucky people!
Love/Hate - Blackout In The Red Room - This is just me in my late teens. I was that age when this came out and instantly loved the band. For me this encapsulates that feeling of drunkeness, arrogance, stupidity and invincibility which I felt at that age as I started to venture out into the world trying to find a place without really liking anything I saw.
Beyond the WIzards Sleeve - Creation - Oh I'm loving this. It feels so much like everything on the Hair soundtrack all at once with a jazz twist.
Still Corners - Fade Out - Now this is a good start for me. Nice and mellow.
Black Veil Brides - In The End - Usually Emo pisses me off, but this has a harder edge than what I usually hear referred to as Emo.
Yann Tiersen - La Valse d'Amelie § (alt link if needed) - I love Amelie and this is just a lovely piece of music but each note has a thick black outline giving it weight, belying the melody.
Kanye West - Ghost Town - What little I know about Kanye West has come from hearing people slag him off or headlines. I've never really listened to much more than the odd song or two of his music, so it's a kind of blank slate with me. Not quite sure what I think of this, but it's interesting me. I'll probably give it another listen sometime which isn't something I often think when I do these.
Black Sabbath - Dirty Women § (alt link if needed) - It suffers from being Sabbath but not 'really' Sabbath. But growing pains are difficult and if it wasn't Black Sabbath I'd probably think better of it.
Iced Earth - Valley Forge - I can't tell if sub-par Maiden would be an insult or a compliment?
J. Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, Tainy - Un Dia (One Day) - I quite like Dua Lipa, but I find the fewer people she's workiing with the better for me and so it proved here again.
Paul Simon - Loves Me Like a Rock - I'd rather they hit him with the bloody rock.
Mark Collie - Even the Man in the Moon is Crying - Having to listen to him I can understand why.
Pink Floyd - Echoes (Part 1) - Most of you probably know how I feel about The Floyd. 10+ minutes? It's like Portishead on Ketamine with 6th form poetry lyrics. Then it becomes background music for the most part, which is the best bit, but I'd still rather be listening to something else.
