Fine. 2.5/5. Had some more out less memorable tunes. Enjoyed the alt country mixed with indie vibes. Otherwise feel no reason to revisit.

Hail To the Thief
Radiohead
Every song is a banger or is super memorable. I listened to this album years ago and still recall so much of it. Between hypnotic electronic ragas to and cryptic political rock bops, this album has a little something for every mood.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

I was not expecting to like this as hip hop typically does not excite me very much. However, I loved the sampling, the plain accounts of real-life struggles, and the group dynamic. A highly enjoyable album for me.
