Kate BushBy sheer synchronicity, this album came up just as I had roughly an hour's worth left of 'The Talisman', and so it became a bespoke (and incredibly fitting) soundtrack for the finale of that epic story - a story soon to be adapted into a tv series by the Duffer Brothers, famous for 'Stranger Things', which itself climaxed in season 3 to "Running Up That Hill". Occasionally the universe aligns in strange ways. It seems to do that more often when I'm reading Stephen King, and I'm not sure what to make of that.

The Holy Bible
Manic Street PreachersI don't care how deep or cutting your lyrics are if I can't understand most of them because of your numbly mumbly wailing and muddy sound mixing. Don't bother looking them up, though; they're edgelord word salad, the kind of peurile nastiness an angry teen might write when they first discover the world is full of bad people. A few good licks and overall decent composition save this album, but I can't imagine ever willingly listening to it unless I decided to commit a public crime and want to give the media something controversial to chew on in the aftermath. "The suspect was reportedly blaring the music of mentally ill Welsh self-harm-rocker Richey Edwards, though authorities are refusing to speculate on whether this influenced the baffling spree of unimaginative mayhem or merely underscored it."
