Lost In The Dream
The War On Drugs
Synchronicity! I just added Under the Pressure to my playlist last month! Great song! The album as a whole is pretty 2010s alt-rock-y. I think I would've liked this a lot more if I'd heard it then, when that was 'the Sound'.

Violator
Depeche Mode
Very unique sound. One that I like? ...not really. The vampy, theatrical aesthetic is not for me. I feel like this is what the goth kids of the 90s were listening to.
Every other song was good enough to persuade me to give a 2, but then the next song would feel like it was just clamoring for a 1. I'm going w/a 2 for now bc I know worse albums will be on here, and I could at least sing along to some of it. Everything about it was just way too long though. Every song and the album as a whole.

This was very strange, but also... enjoyable? I'm pretty sure? I accidentally listened to the wrong album at first and it was exceedingly mid, so I came into this pretty annoyed, but it won me over! It lost me a couple times, but in general it was pretty enjoyable and dare I say quirky. Also, very strong more cowbell vibes!
