Kid A
Radiohead
It's cold and dark, but there's a glitter of warmth within the fog. It's a barren metal wasteland, but there's a kindness in the fallow. This destruction was wrought by human hands.
Kid A is an experimental, artsy, dark rock album that I found very enjoyable. It almost leans into slowcore or ambient styles during some tracks. Idioteque's end-times drone and Treefingers' subtle beauty are clear standouts to me. All the instrumental tracks are incredibly strong.

Imagine
John Lennon
I've been kind of fearing getting into rock music, since I don't really like screamo rock or rock-and-roll very much, but I'm enjoying the art rock and soft rock albums I've heard so far. This album was a somewhat acceptable soft rock album.
Starting with the negatives, my least favorite song was probably Crippled Inside, a little too country-leaning for me. I prefer my country songs artsy and not honkey-tonk. The blues-ier songs like It's So Hard were also not my favorite. Plus, I wasn't a huge fan of Lennon's voice throughout the whole album.
However, there are some really pretty arrangements in the album. Imagine is a nice listen, and Oh My Love is both a beautiful instrumental and uses Lennon's voice for good. I think he'd be really good as a folk singer. Unfortunately, his voice brings down several other songs I would have otherwise liked, such as How?
The album kicks off on its highest point with Imagine, and then it's only down from there. I kept on waiting for it to get better, but it never did. If someone asked me how I liked it, I'd probably say that its "alright."

This was horrific. Genuinely hated every single song. Sympathy for the devil is one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life. It was so bad it gave me chills and I had to rush to my "Angelic Mix" on Spotify to cleanse my ears.

Wow. This is incredible. I love ambient music like Ethel Cain, and this is a totally different style from her but still keeps all the elements I love. The detailed, immersive soundscapes in this album are incredible. The album title is perfect - every song sounds like it's from the future. This is exactly what I wanted from this project, hidden gems in albums I never would have given a thought before.
My only complaint is that Bel Air does get a little repetitive. For a 20-minute song, the production isn't quite interesting enough to justify it's length. I could use some more development in the song.

While the first half is standard boring rock, the second half is really interesting. There are some beautiful ambient songs.

Maybe it's all the terrible albums I've heard so far on this, but this was actually stunning. Mature, well written, well composed songs. It's not 5 stars because the production is a liiiiitle too simple and the vocals aren't quiiiiite interesting enough but I was very surprised overall.
