IT'S SONG REC. SUNDAY!!

☆ NOAH CYRUS - RE: STACKS

• Originally sung by Bon Iver, so you know it'll be a banger

• Noah really gets to show off her lower range, which is my favourite part of her voice

• The song is very slow and beautiful, but carries this air of mystery and happiness. Great for disassociating!

https://open.spotify.com/track/6X6fJzF0BGbUk6mhqNvgZZ?si=vgrHBqMtS1KOuVfbmWXmQg&utm_source=copy-link

☆ THE PAPER KITES - PAINT

• Absolutely stunning!

• Simple guitar plays through the whole song

• Has insane harmonies and vocal layers in the chorus that wrap you in an blanket of warmth. It's so nice.

Link:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5Ewz5ms8XpjtkihWFLnJJs?si=BaAYVXpnQU-gH6lrKl55Pw&utm_source=copy-link

☆ ODETTE - DWELL

• I will promote this song until the day I die

• Odette is an incredible vocalist and lyricist, and this song really shows her abilities without it feeling too overbearing or over the top

• The song is just 5 minutes and 12 seconds of bliss, check it out!! Link:

https://open.spotify.com/track/3weEaJVVWtgAOPgR6TGo0e?si=iY2oZKKwSraT8MLPo4fBuA&utm_source=copy-link

☆ BON IVER - FLUME

• The guitar sounds so good in this song oh my goodness

• I love this song so much and the vocals are insane and the production is insane and aghfhskdh

• Flume is like Skinny Love's hotter, cooler cousin

Link:

https://open.spotify.com/track/0bhBtXHQX3u6dSAPF59qGx?si=wlUTXMurSIanUZQc2x7CHw&utm_source=copy-link

☆ FOXPAW - OUT OF EGYPT

• Two vocal tracks blended together really adds this special, enveloping feeling

• It's based on the story of Moses from Judaism and Christianity (correct me if I'm wrong!) so that's super cool

• Has the same energy as a song you'd sing around a campfire with that big group of friends you don't have, so it will make you sad!

Link:

https://open.spotify.com/track/4dzi9ff1Zm5PqLtn0gyM9a?si=z8Y8KkYJQp2RGBJhy_p7Ig&utm_source=copy-link

actually you know what, a drunk jan crying over how beautiful and sweet nace is would be a delight to read. writer's choice who he's talking to

Sorry this took so long, but here it is! Hope you like it!

TW for alcohol consumption

"But Jure, Jure listen to me. Are you listening?"

Jan tried to get Jure's attention by grabbing his sleeve and lightly tugging. Jure finally looked away from his empty glass and back to him. He looked tired, but Jan was too deep into the bottle of whiskey to stop.

"Yes, Janči, I am listening."

"Nace is just...so wonderful. He remembers all the little things. When I get to the practice, he just knows when I want coffee. And he knows my coffee order too!"

Jure bit his lip, as if stopping himself from saying anything. And okay, yes they all had the same order, exceot for Kris. But still. It counted. Jan took his coffee with very little sugar, while Jure put two spoonfuls in his. The difference mattered.

"Very thoughtful of him."

Jan sighed. They were at the studio, wjere they usually practiced. Just upstairs, taking up the little table. There was enough space, as long as neither of them tried to stand up.

Jan flopped down on the bench, staring at the ceiling.

"He is generally so wonderful and thoughtful but-"

Jure groaned and leaned his head against the table. When he didn't say anything, Jan continued.

"I really can't believe he shaved. He looked like-like-"

"Like he is straight?" Jure asked, sarcasm dripping from every word.

Well, yes. That was a gist of it. Not that Jan meant to imply being straight was bad. Obviously not.

"Like he is straight and goes to church."

Jure chuckled.

"Wait, doesn't he?"

Jan blinked, turning his gaze from the ceiling to Jure.

"Doesn't he what? Straight?"

Jure slapped his hand over his forehead.

"How does that even make sense? No, I mean, doesn't he go to church?"

Jan shrugged. Not really. He believed in God, as far as Jan gathered, but it's not like he had the time to go to a church every Sunday. It was a topic Jan tiptoed about, knowing their views would differ. Maybe he should ask.

"I don't think so?"

"Aren't you dating him?"

Jan sat back up again, just so he could glare at Jure.

"Yes. But asking him if he goes on his knees for the lord the same way he does for me wasn't my first priority."

Jure's nose scrunched up in disgust. He grabbed the bottle of whiskey on the table, and chugged what little alcohol was left in it.

"I didn't need that mental image."

Jan shrugged. That wasn't his problem.

"He does look very pretty when he-"

"No! No, no, no! No. I love you both and I will suffer through you rambling about how much you love him, but I draw the line at hearing about your sex life."

He supposed that was fair. He wouldn't want to hear about Jure's sex life either. Or god forbid, Bojan's. They heard too much of that during Nordic tour as it was.

"I do really think Nace is wonderful. Even when he gets a stupid idea to shave. And he is so attractive. Like, his arms? And tattoos? I don't think I will ever get over that."

Jure snored.

"Right. Naturally."

"Have you seen his tattoos?"

Jure looked ready to snap back when they heard the door downstairs open. Jure was closer to the fence, so he peeked down.

"Oh, thank God. Hey, Nace!"

Jan stuck out his tongue at Jure. He was that eager to get rid of him, huh?

"Hey Jure. Is Jan with you?"

"Unfortunately. Please take him with you."

Jan kicked him under the table and Jure hissed, throwing him a dirty look. Traitor.

"Bad cat."

Jure looked ready to pounce him like an actual cat, but was stopped by Nace climbing up the stairs. Jan turned to look at him and immediately glared.

"Who are you?"

Nace rolled his eyes.

"Your boyfriend."

"My boyfriend has a beard."

Jure slapped his hand iver his mouth, but Jan could still hear him giggling. Nace sighed.

"Well, your boyfriend shaved. It'll grow back. Can we go home now?"

"I can't, I have a boyfriend."

Jure stopped pretending to hide his laughter and instead doubled over on his bench, laughing. Nace pursed his lips.

"How much of that whiskey did he drink?"

"Bot m-"

"I had two shots. He drank the rest."

Jan looked at Jure in surprise. Did he? He didn't think he drank that much. Then again, he supposed with how easily and unguardedly words came to him, it was possible.

Nace sat on the bench next to him and cupped his cheek. Jan raised his eyes to look at him and did his best not to immediately melt into the touch. Beard or no beard, when Nace looked at him with such soft gaze, Jan find him hard to resist.

"Anddd that's my cue to leave. Don't forget to lock the studio."

Jure grabbed his stuff and got up. Nace briefly broke their staring contest to wave at Jure.

"Say hi to Kris," Nace said.

Jure tripped before rushing down the stairs. Jan frowned. Kris? Why-

Nace turned back towards him and kissed his forehead.

"If you get down the stairs, I will carry you to the car."

"Who said I can't get to the car on my own?!"

Nace smirked.

"Can you?"

Oh, that asshole. Jan could do more than that. He grabbed Nace by the shoulder and pushed him down, so he laid on the bench. Nace didn't look particularly surprised, not even when Jan got on top, pinning him down.

"Yes."

Then he kissed him. Hard. Nace tangled his hand in his hair and pulled him closer. Jan quickly got lost in the kiss, forgetting where they were, up until he pulled back to catch hia breath.

Nace's pupils were dark and wide.

"Perhaos we shoukd take this home."

Jan pressed another hard but quick kiss to his lips. Then he chuckled.

"What?"

"I just have one question before we go," he said, pulling back to sit on his heels.

Nace raised an eyebrow.

"Which would be?"

"Did you shave so you could go to church?"

The look on Nace's face was worth the shove he got in response. He laughed all the way to the car.

He supposed that as much as he hated the shaved look, it did make plenty of opportunity for jokes.

Get To Know Me

Thank you for tagging me @a-noble-dragon @ramonaflow @apothecarose 🖤🖤🖤 and @jesuisici33 💕

Name: Crystal (oooo name reveal, maybe I'll come back and change it later. It feels so exposing)

Sign: Scorpio

Time: 1:32pm

Favorite band/artist: This may come as a shock, but Noah Reid, Taking Back Sunday, Jimmy Eat World, Bon Iver are probably the ones I go to most often for something to listen to.

Last movie: I haven't watched anything lately. The last movie I saw at the theater was Barbie and the last movie before that time was Parasite. So that should tell you how often I go.

Last show: I finished a SC rewatch the other day because I have no life. I'm still part way through WWDITS latest season. And now Gay Pirates has come back so that's another thing to add to my never ending list.

When I created this blog: This blog is a baby clone I had to create cause my other one got fucked in February this year.

Other blogs: My original flowertrigger blog stopped working so I created this one, then it worked again after it took like a month for support to fix it. So then I stuck with this new blog and switched the names cause I wanted the same name, even though I lost some mutuals. So now I have this, @flowertriggerisdead (rip😭) and an ooold one that I made in 2010. Phew, rant.

Do I get asks: Only when there's an ask game going around. Send me random asks!

Average hours of sleep: 5-6 when I have work, 8-9 when I can sleep in.

Instruments: I learnt piano during school and was pretty ok. Now I have lost all ability and can't even sight read anymore. It's upsetting losing a skill.

What I'm wearing: Black trackies and a long sleeve Uniqlo top.

Dream job: I honestly don't want to work. Seriously you guys. I've made a job out of two different interests and it's STILL WORK. People who love their jobs...what is your secret??

I'll no pressure tag @saraminia @jettestar @carolrain @dinnfameron @smallumbrella369 @stargazer56 @mammameesh @chelle-68 🦩

Ooooh! I think this is the song in YB's insatgram post. Interesting.

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/boniver/715crks.html

OMG, is this really his attempt at getting her back? *This*?

Has he NOW realized what be threw away? What a POS. (You, OTOH Anon, are a treasure. TYSM.)

"715 - CR∑∑KS"

Down along the creek

I remember something

Her, the heron hurried away

When first I breeched that last Sunday

Low moon don the yellow road

I remember something

That leaving wasn't easing

All that heaving in my vines

And as certain it is evening 'at is now is not the time

Ooh

Toiling with your blood

I remember something

In B, unrationed kissing on a night second to last

Finding both your hands as second sun came past the glass

And oh, I know it felt right and I had you in my grasp

Oh, then how we gonna cry

Cause it once might not mean something

Love, a second glance it is not something that we'll need

Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds

But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease

And I'll see you

Turn around, you're my A-Team

Turn around now, you're my A-Team

God damn, turn around now, you're my A-Team

mina couldn't live with herself after cheating on stewy and so she confessed to everything on a random sunday morning. stewy tried to move on and forgive for the sake of their children but he ended up moving out to a condo by the end of the day. he stayed in pleasantview to be close with his children

just the next day he called up emily goth, iver's wife, and asked her to meet at a cafe as he felt as if it was his responsibility to tell her about her husband having an affair. having her suscpitions confirmed was painful, but to her surprise she just mostly felt relieved for no longer being in the dark about this since i imagine iver was gaslighting the hell out of her whenever she tried bringing this up. she divorced him, took the kids and moved back to her hometown that is strangetown and has been spending a lot of time with the widowed atom beaker .. 🤔

100 Albums // 2024

One of my resolutions for 2024 was to sit down and listen to more albums (mostly) uninterrupted from beginning to end. Here is where I'm compiling those albums + my thoughts on them as I go.

How I'm choosing the albums: most of these are "I randomly found one song off this album, I've been meaning to listen to more". But some are just iconic, genre-defining albums that I know I'm doing myself a disservice by not listening to yet. Some are also suggestions!

How I'm rating them: this is PERSONAL TASTE ONLYYYYYY. Some albums I acknowledge will be impossible to rate this way, but for the most part I am JUST rating based on MY taste. I'm trying to be open minded to any and all genre's but I'm aware my tastes lean indie.

1. Self-Titled - Bon Iver (2011)

If you see this (which you might because Im pinning it for ease of access), you should reply or send me a message with your favorite album. I just may give it a listen! Thanks!!

‐----------------‐-------------------------------------------------

Rating: 4/10

Fav Songs: Holocene, Towers, Wash

Notes: I like a handful of Bon Iver songs but I haven't really listened to his stuff, much. I REALLY wanted this whole album to be like "Holocene" but overall it's pretty... Meh, save a few songs. The bits I enjoyed were experimental aspects that remind me of my favorite song of his off another album, "33 God". I will listen to that album at some point. I haven't given up on Bon Iver anyway.

2. Get to Heaven (Deluxe) - Everything Everything (2015)

Rating: 8/10

Fav Songs: The Wheel (is turning now), Only As Good as my God, Blast Doors

Notes: I LOVE this album. A friend of mine put "Only As Good As My God" on a playlist for me a few years ago, I've been obsessed with it ever since, and most of the album is just as good if not better. I really enjoy the religious imagery and overall messaging. Not every song totally landed, though, which is why it's only an 8/10.

3. Nearer My God - Foxing (2018)

Rating: 6/10

Fav Songs: Nearer My God, Five Cups, Lambert

Notes: I listened to this album on a rainy Sunday morning while finishing up a book, and I'd say that's the perfect way to listen to it. Solid mellow vibes and sweeping, yet gentle instrumentals- nothing that really stands out or knocked my socks off, either.

4. The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess - Chappell Roan (2023)

Rating: 9/10

Fav Songs: Pink Pony Club, HOT TO GO!, Red Wine Supernova

Notes: I love "Pink Pony Club" so much and the rest of the album does not disapoint. High points are danceable, low songs still catchy as fuck. One part Madonna, part Lemon Demon?? Its just great. However, I think the opening song 'FEMININOMENON' is awful. I couldn't even finish it. Only thing keeping this album from a 10/10.

5. Born in the U.S.A. - Bruce Springsteen (1984)

Rating: 🫡/10

Fav Songs: Downbound Train, No Surrender, Dancing in the Dark

Notes: I won't even try to rate this album because it's so classic and contextual. I really love it though- especially with an eye on the way Springsteen satirizes, critiques, yet appreciates masculinity. It's crazy to me that people really listen and take him at face value- True Patriotic Americanism- ignoring any obvious commentary on war, the working class, racism... Anyway, he's good! I already knew it but this really gave me a deeper appreciation.

6. Fine Line - Harry Styles (2019)

Rating: 4/10

Fav Songs: Cherry, Fine Line, Adore You

Notes: Another tame background listen. A few bangers but the rest is very meh. Also included my second song skip on this list so far (Canyon Moon) which is never great. I will probably not listen to any more Harry, but maybe.

7. Mystére - La Femme (2016)

Rating: 7/10

Fav Songs: Ou ve la Monde, Sphynx, Mycose

Notes: First foreign language AND rec album for an artist that I'd never listened to! Really cool stuff here, very experimental- some of it is more straightforward electronica, some of it almost 60s sounding Halloween beats, some psychedelic rock- but I enjoyed almost all of it!!

8. Put Yourself Back Together - Real Friends (2013)

Rating: 3/10

Fav Songs: Skin Deep, I've Given Up On You

Notes: Chose a short one to end January on 8 albums, but I found this album tremendously disappointing. All in a row like this, the whininess of Real Friends REALLY starts to grate after about 3 songs. And its way beyond your usual pop punk whininess, too. By the albums end I was so grateful it was over. I've Given Up On You still goes hard, though.

9. Self-Titled - Vagabon (2019)

Rating: 7/10

Fav Songs: Flood, Full Moon in Gemini, Water Me Down

Notes: This album is objectively good, but the best songs are unfortunately the ones I had already stumbled on. That isn't to say there wasn't some treasures to be found- and on continued listens I think "In A Bind" could grow higher in my tastes. Overall, pretty damn good!

10. The Slow Rush - Tame Impala (2020)

Rating: 9/10

Fav Songs: Borderline, Breathe Deeper, On Track

Notes: GREAT album. I used to really not understand the draw of Tame Impala, then one day I heard Eventually and it clicked. This album does not disapoint. Even the songs that don't stand out are so fucking funky, it's impossible to not vibe. I listened to this while cleaning the kitchen at work and I was half-dancing through parts of it. Great stuff. I'll listen to Currents at some point, too.

11. Pin-Up Daddy - Rett Madison (2021)

Rating: 10/10

Fav Songs: Pin-Up Daddy, God is a Woman, Emily

Notes: Finally... a 10/10 album. Pin-Up Daddy is a song that impacted me very deeply upon first listen, and the rest of this is just as emotionally gutting. First album of this list to bring me to tears. Definately not a listen-in-the-background album, Rett demands involvement in the stories she is painting you.

12. You Are All I See - Active Child (2011)

Rating: 7.5/10

Fav Songs: Hanging On, High Priestess, You Are All I See

Notes: A friend recommended 'Hanging On' to me an eternity ago and it's been a go-to "in my feels" song since. This album is really good- mixing R&B flawlessly with 80s synth, and add this mans beautiful, Bon Iver-esque falsetto, its a dream. However, the worst bits of this album are definately where he's trying to... *Sound* more black than he is. Lol. There's really no nice way to say it. Also! This album led me to Ellie Gouldings cover of "Hanging On", and this next bomb of an album...

13. Halcyon - Ellie Goulding (2012)

Rating: 1/10

Fav Songs: Hanging On

Notes: think I've avoided this album subconsciously. "Lights" is a 10/10 album for me, but this albums single track "Anything Can Happen" is probably one of my most hated songs of the 2010s. Its awful. And I'm sorry to report that the rest of this album is just as bad- giving "overproduced" a new standard, in the meantime losing every appealing and unique thing about Ellie Gouldings ARTISTRY in "Lights". The dubstep beat running through the background of every GD song is SO grating and was actually starting to piss me off. "Joy" is my third skip of this list, it's so intolerably corny. The gem keeping this album from a total 0 is her cover of "Hanging On", which is very different from the original but seems to be the only song that she put even an OUNCE of Pussy into.

14. Miss Universe - Nilüfer Yanya (2019)

Rating: 7.5/10

Fav Songs: Heavyweight Champion of the Year, Baby Blu, Safety Net

Notes: Great album that I listened to while deep-cleaning at work. Its high energy makes it good for cleaning, and I really enjoyed the pacing/content of the album breaks. Really atmospheric. Her vocal range is just INSANE too and you can really feel the impact of Turkish music on her sound.

15. Self-Titled - Elliott Smith (1995)

Rating: 7/10

Fav Songs: Good to Go, Needle in the Hay, The Biggest Lie

Notes: Another great album for Doing Tasks at work! I've been meaning to get to some Elliott Smith forever- he is, after all, SO influential and an iconic Portland figure. I was really vibing to his stuff- but nothing on this album really jumped to stand out to me. That said- it's amazing how you can feel his influence on many other artists- Phoebe Bridgers, Frank Ocean, Bright Eyes... I especially felt that he was similar in tone to Sufjan, whom I just adore. Another great rec!

16. Self-Titled - Tracy Chapman (1988)

Rating: 💧/10

Fav Songs: Fast Car, Mountain O' Things, Talkin' Bout a Revolution

Notes: I LOVE Fast Car, so I gave this album a listen and I was not disapointed. I don't know why I wasn't expecting it to be SO political when, in my opinion, Fast Car is VERY political. But Tracy has a lot to say about being black, being poor, being a woman- not even to mention being gay! In the 80s!! This was trangressive and inspiring stuff then, and I can't possibly rate it now- except to say that this album is excellent, worth a listen, and contains so much more than just Fast Car can offer.

17. Fantastic Planet - Failure (1996)

Rating: 5/10

Fav Songs: Dirty Blue Balloons, Saturday Savior

Notes: This was another blind suggestion for a band I've never even heard of! Overall, it was very cool and super different from my usual stuff. As it is, I'm a bit more into softer grunge/shoegaze, myself- but that said, this album has a lot to offer musically, and I even watched a biographical video on Failure afterwards, because I was so interested in their production process. This album also REALLY made me want to listen to a full Tool album, so...

18. Lateralus- TOOL (2001)

Rating: 8/10

Fav Songs: Schism, The Grudge, Reflection

Notes: This album rules. I got stoned as hell and listened to it while doing a mindless task (filling my queue) and it feels like I really heard all the instruments and vocal depth of Tool for the first time. Not every song captured me, but considering Tool is known for their LONG songs, I'm surprised it's as engaging as it is.

19. Crimes of Passion - Pat Benetar (1980)

Rating: 4/10

Fav Songs: Wuthering Heights, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, I'm Gonna Follow You

Notes: This album is certified mid. Her cover of Wuthering Heights is inspired and obviously HMWYBS is iconic, but this album offers little else besides a few decent guitar riffs. Any given song had really clunky lyrics and this is just not as refined as I know Pat Benetar can be.

20. Caught in Still Life - VAULTS (2016)

Rating: 8.5/10

Fav Songs: One Last Night, Cry No More, Hurricane

Notes: Ive been really enjoying 'One Last Night' for years now, so I was more than happy to give this a listen and it didn't disappoint. Vaults basically encapsulates my favorite musical themes; electronic percussion mixed with some pure instrumentals like strings, piano, harps, or chimes, plus clear, lovely vocals... It's just excellent. 8 just because not every song totally landed.

21. Currents - Tame Impala (2015)

Rating: 9/10

Fav Songs: Eventually, Disciples, The Less I Know the Better

Notes: Told you I'd listen to Currents too! I liked this album a tiny bit more than The Slow Rush, I just feel like it was better put together and the flow between songs is perfect. It's just really good.

22. Modus Vivendi - 070 Shake (2020)

Rating: 7/10

Fav Songs: Morrow, Rocketship, The Pines

Notes: I think this is my first hiphop album of this project, which is insane because I love a good hiphop album. This album is a good example of how the flow between songs can really make or break it. I didn't love too many specific, individual songs off this album, but I loved the album structure as a whole which can carry a lot. I also just teally enjoy 070 Shake. Her voice is so pleasant, like bubble wrap to the brain.

23. Proof of Life - Joy Oladokun (2023)

Rating: 8/10

Fav Songs: Changes, Somehow, Friends

Notes: Another album from someone I'd never heard of, and it's great! Joy was recommended to me as someone who likes Taylor Swifts 'Folklore' album. I would not say it's very much like Folklore, but it was still wonderful. She has a voice like velvet and a folky way with words. 'Changes' could have been my pandemic anthem.

24. 3.15.20 - Childish Gambino (2020)

Rating: 2/10

Fav Songs: 42.26, 35.31

Notes: Upon lamenting that I needed more hiphop, my partner reminded me of this album. Starting it, I wondered to myself "this has been out for 4 years. Why haven't I heard any songs from it out in the wild??" And the answer is; because they're bad. Like, really bad and not even in a fun way. Songs listed are listenable but I don't forsee myself revisiting them. I like experimental stuff but this one is not for me!

25. Strange Trails - Lord Huron (2015)

Rating: 7.5/10

Fav Songs: Meet Me In The Woods, The Night We Met, Fool for Love

Notes: After that last one, I wanted an album I knew would be decent at LEAST, so I went with Strange Trails as I'm already familiar with a handful of songs. It's great! I feel that Johnny Cash would really appreciate Lord Huron, and I like the way he tells stories. Redacted points for putting both 'Love Like Ghosts' and 'Meet Me In The Woods' on there, though. In theory, the idea of the same instrumentals with different lyrics is interesting, but in practice just feels like LLG is the rough, first draft of MMITW and shouldnt have been included? That's a very small beef.

26. Unheard - Hozier (2024) (EP)

Rating: 8/10

Fav Songs: Empire Now, Too Sweet

Notes: Trying to avoid EPs for this project, but I really wanted to listen to this and I didn't want to discount it either. And it's great! 'Fare Well' is a bit of a weak ender, but oh well.

27. Saved - Now, Now (2018)

Rating: 8/10

Fav Songs: SGL, Powder, MJ

Notes: This album is one of the original that inspired this project, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to get to it. Now, Now has a truly unique sound that I struggle to classify, and I simply just love it. Catchy, yet complex and dreamy. Not every song landed but I'll be coming back to this one for sure.

28. Sahar - Tamino (2022)

Rating: 7/10

Fav songs: The First Disciple, The Longing, Fascination

Notes: Gave this album a listen at my partners bequest, and she totally loves it, so... Pressure! Overall, I think I like his album Amir a bit more. This ones still great, though, especially to throw on in the background while you're doing stuff. His music is so layered and rich, truly unique sounding. That said, I REALLY don't like "Sunflower". I've heard it a few times now and I like it less every time. Something about it feels... Off, for a Tamino song.

29. Spirituals - Santigold (2022)

Rating: 6/10

Fav Songs: No Paradise, Fall First, Ain't Ready

Notes: This one was a coworker recommendation (and my coworkers have officially heard about this project so I imagine I'll be good on recommendations for a while). Its just okay! I appreciate how unique and difficult to genre-fy Santigold is, but I prefer some of her older stuff. This album still has some great flow and a few total gems, though.

30. Beauty Pagent - The Bobby Lees (2018)

Rating: 9/10

Fav Songs: Radiator, Mad Moth, Bobby Lee

Notes: Another coworker rec and I LOVE this album. The old-punk feel is so visceral, you could close your eyes and be in an 80s basement show. I couldn't BELIEVE how new this is. Not a casual listen for sure (I mean- it's punk), but worth a quick dive if you feel like going hard.

31. Чёрный альбом - Kino (1990)

Rating: 🎸/10

Fav Songs: N/A

Notes: This was a bestie-rec but I've listened to enough Kino in the past to know it probably... Wasn't gonna be my vibe! And sure enough, it wasn't really. I enjoyed it well enough, though most of the songs just blended together for me, and I spent a good chunk of time reading about Kino afterwards. They were so influential to Russian rock that I dont feel its fair to give them a number rating, but I don't see myself returning to Kinos black album!

32. Older - Lizzy McAlpine (2024)

Rating: 8/10

Fav Songs: Drunk Running, Staying, Broken Glass

Notes: Lizzy's album before this, 'ten seconds flat', isn't just a 10/10 album for me- it CONSUMED my entire Spotify wrapped last year. I was cautious about this album and I'm glad for it, because it's VERY different. I still enjoyed it a lot, but to compare the two would be weird. This is a melancholy album with very few highs, a jazz-feel throughout, and features Lizzys voice on full display. A few songs bored me to tears musically, though- so just an 8/10. Not a bad follow up at all, Lizzy!

33. Apocalypse Whenever (deluxe version) - Bad Suns - 2022

Rating: 3/10

Fav Songs: Maybe You Saved Me, When the World was Mine

Notes: This was my first truly disappointing album listen :^( I love the Bad Suns, and 'Disapear Here' is an album I just absolutely BLEED for. This album lacks in comparison, and the culprit is obvious. I'm not sure if the singer is trying to do it more healthily or something, but his voice just totally lacks that indescribable *thing* he does. The special sauce, if you will. As a result every song sounds really low-energy? A few years ago a Bad Suns/PVRIS collab would have slayed me but I'm so underwhelmed now.

34. Fade to Bluegrass (a Bluegrass tribute to Metallica) - Iron Horse (2003)

Rating: 7/10

Fav Songs: Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven, Wherever I May Roam

Notes: Another coworker recommendation, but I pushed it to the top of my list because the concept intrigued me. I don't even like Metallica but I am familiar enough with them to admit these songs went hard. A few of these songs I even feel like lend themselves better to the Bluegrass genre?? A really interesting listen!

35. The Tortured Poets Department (ANTHOLOGY) - Taylor Swift (2024)

Rating: 4/10

Fav Songs: I Look in People's Windows, Down Bad, The Black Dog

Notes: Certifiably mid. Does not justify being 31 songs long. Most sound indistinguishable from one another and one is such an offensive dupe of 'Cardigan' I think it should have been cut completely. Every song is so densely packed with lyrics I wish she would just write a fucking novel or something. And this low energy 'talk-singing' thing she does now sounds awful and bores you to tears by the end. But because you can't throw 31 rocks without hitting SOMETHING, I found some enjoyable songs. Hilarious that the best song is also the shortest. World's most long winded pop star /neg.

#100 albums #mine #this is up to date as of end of march i am still going strong #just btw
