Taylor Swift
1/5
NO, just fucking NO. Like how in the world is this on any "must hear" list. Empty pop vacuums for 12 year olds..really?

This is what boiled chicken sounds like. This is Taylor Swift bland, and I wasn't sure that was even possible. How does this end up on any list other than the "Things I heard Karen play at Target" list? Its "cringe try hard" and i didnt know that was a genre until now

My Bloody Valentine
5/5
Melodic and haunting, this is low key a solid LP. All the hallmarks of an indy album, which for me is what makes this great, its doesnt feel over produced, but its an actual indy sounding LP.

5/5
It's Radiohead. You will either dig it or you won't. Radiohead occupies a certain musical "in-between space" that rarely has counterparts, but they will always remain a special kinda musical experience in any given era.
