The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill
ITS THE TIKTOK SOUND ("How can I explain myself?"). Generally enjoyed. Fun hip-hop and reggae exploration. Pioneering for the time, I'm sure, but probably not one I'll be putting on my playlists

The Seldom Seen Kid
Elbow
Better than I expected. Very much a 2010s sound, but I don't hate it. A soft indie sort of vibe, but track lengths were a little longer than I liked.

Billy Joel
Absolutely wonderful. Don't know that I'm much of a Billy Joel fan, but he's certainly got a way with words. A few particular tracks stood out and the rest were generally fine.

George Jones
Pretty good. Spotify describes as a "hardcore Honkey-tonker" which I appreciate. Nothing super special, but he has a decent voice and nothing egregiously bad in his lyrics (but neither anything outrageously good).

Why is this so good? It's crazy how good this actually is. Idk about the 10 minute song about Montana though. This whole album is pretty odd
