3/5

I get the impression that repeat listens might elevate this, but folk is definitely not the easiest genre for me to engage with.

Yank Crime

3/5

Listened to most of this but there wasn't much differentiation between songs, so I feel like I got the message.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

Spotify's shitty queue system fucked up (as usual) and started interspersing this with Neil Young tracks from my previous album. A less than ideal listening experience. And yet, I didn't hate this the way I expected to. Maybe it functions better as a whole than when I've just heard bits.
