Hybrid Theory
Linkin Park
I recognized "my skydiving song" and I like that one for sentimental reasons (In the End), but the rest of it was not my favorite style. I kept wondering why this album was on the list.
However, much of it reminded me of Jordan and her need to "cry out" so I don't know if I was impacted by the sadness for Jordan or just the awareness that without Jesus, this kind of anger and frustration and crying out won't have any solutions. That makes me a bit sad. I probably shouldn't have started my morning with this one.

The Predator
Ice Cube
Yes. I listened to this whole thing. Well, okay⦠at least the first 45 seconds of every track. So I can confidently say that I tried, but this just wasn't for me.

So... I just didn't like or maybe "believe" his voice. In almost every song, it felt like he was imitating someone else's voice and not well. Weird?

Bad
Michael Jackson
I just canβt separate the music from the man and his life here. I grew up with Jackson 5 and the rise of Michael Jackson. He was talented, yes, and he shaped or captured the essence of an era with this one, but I think of the totality of his music, the places he could have gone, and Iβm just saddened for him and repulsed all at once. I generally skip his music when given a choiceβ¦
