I am 143 albums in and this is by far the worst album so far. And I’ve already listened to Devil Without a Cause.
Otis Redding

This album has some really catchy music and production and could easily be a 4 or 5. Unfortunately too many tracks having these annoying and repetitive sound clips mixed in that get very agitating.
Björk
3/5
This is a dense album and very unique but it has some gems if you are willing to give it a chance. Not exactly something I'd seek out to listen to but I can see why people would like it.
