Hypnotised
The Undertones
overall thoughts: there were like a couple songs I could maybe come back to like hypnotised, hard luck, & wednesday week. I like the high energy kinda punk vibe to their sound, tho not too crazy bout the lyrics. pretty silly vibe to their writing & very high-schooley if that's a word lmao. OK album, don't think it's trash tho just not my cup of tea. I give it a 3/5.

Back At The Chicken Shack
Jimmy Smith
overall thoughts: aight so imma just start off by giving this a 4/5. I'm not that into jazz, and while I probably won't come back to this album often, it's definitely not bad. This was great to listen to while studying or whatever, and what stood out to me most were the first track & minor chant. anyway yeah, it was sum good jazz.

Elephant
The White Stripes
overall thoughts: had already heard this 1 before but not fully. enjoyed it overall, even if there were some meh songs I'd skip over (like cold, cold night .. sorry meg). handful of goodies tho, i'd consider this a classic LP from the 2000s indie/garage rock era. the bluesy influence is pretty alright. 3.7/5.
fave tracks: 7 nation army, black math, I just don't know what to do w/ myself, hardest button to button, hypnotize, no faith in meds
