Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

I knew this album. Was a teen listening to pretty good. Still solid. Likey likey but not the thing i'd listen to usually. Intro to Map of the Problematique still gives me a thrill

The White Album

Beatles

3/5

Undeniably a classic album. To be completely honest, didn't love it. Feels not cohesive, apart from the well known songs, i didn't enjoy it so much i fear. Wouldn't re-listen to all of it for fun. Sorry guys.

Dude, that's one of my favourite albums everrrrrr. I absolutely love it!
