Go Farther In Lightness by Gang of Youths

Very positive surprise. When I saw how long the album was, I was sceptical. But it's very interesting, and a joy to listen to. Love it.

Argus by Wishbone Ash

I can't believe this album wasn't included in the original list! It's the reason I went to the concert when they were in the area. It was one of my first concerts. It was after they released the album Twin Barrels Burning. But they played at least three songs from Argus. I was in heaven!

It's not my cup of tea. "Singing" in the same line through first three songs. Then a little variation. Tho instrumental background is interesting. 2

I don't like the constant growling. It makes all the songs sound the same. I find instrumental music interesting.

When Smoke Rises by Mustafa

The album pleasantly surprised me. As has often been the case, the saying holds true: don't judge a book by its cover.

HEY WHAT by Low
Feb 08 2026

I'm not feeling this album. It’s not boring, it's just odd—like discordant background noise in the background. I know that’s the point, but it’s still strange.

Very positive surprise. When I saw how long the album was, I was sceptical. But it's very interesting, and a joy to listen to. Love it.

It's Gaga, which I respect as a musician, but somehow the album doesn't sit well with me.

Not my kind of music. I wouldn't even call it music. Noise. In two songs I can hear some traces of music, so 2.

Some songs are really good for my taste, but then some...

The second and third tracks really don't do it for me, but the album gets much better after that. Without those two tracks, I'd easily give it a 4.
