Deja Vu
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Relatively dull '70s Hippie folk rock that doesn't move the needle for me, except for the song "Almost Cut My Hair". This is the first time I have heard this song (and most of the songs on this album), and it absolutely blew me away. This David Crosby led song really changes the entire outlook on this album for me, and brings it up a peg. Really disappointed in the Neil Young led tracks as I figured they would be the most interesting to me

Miles Davis
While I am obviously no expert, it feels as though there is no note out of place in this exposition. Wonderfully crafted, and truly beautiful music. My ignorance for jazz music makes me feel like I can't properly appreciate this, but nonetheless. Love Miles Davis. Still think he has some better albums in comparison.

Frank Ocean
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Its perfect. Its a 1000% perfect album. I wish Frank Ocean released music more frequently, because the world needs it. The hardest part of this for me, is coming up with the best song. Pyramids, Forrest Gump, Pink Matter, all worthy choices. I think I will have to go to the song I've replayed the most out of all of Franks discography, Bad Religion. Stunningly beautiful and genuine. Absolutely love this album.

Jeff Buckley
I really got into Jeff Buckley in 2024 and I am excited this is my first album of 2025. Stunningly beautiful album. I wish he was able to make more music, but at least he left the world this masterpiece. My favorite song is probably Lover, You Should've Come Over, but this version of Hallelujah is incredible as well.

Ghosteen
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nick Cave is definitely hit or miss artist for most. A great voice, incredible songwriting, deeply harrowing music. This style of music in Ghosteen unfortunately does not work for me. It is probably some of the darkest and saddest music I can think of, but its the "Ambient" style of music that really takes most of the luster away from me. Hauntingly Beautiful is the description I would use for this.

First album of this project that I really, really disliked. It starts off well enough with some 90's grunge/garage rock and it devolves into a cheezy 90 movies action movie soundtrack that gets worse every single track. Couldn't take it seriously towards the end.

Coldplay
Look, new Coldplay is incomprehensibly bad. Its the worst. The worst type of music, music that is designed to be played at grocery stores. However their old stuff absolutely rips. I saw Coldplay in 2022 and was not really excited, but was blown away and became a fan (of the old stuff) for life. You'd be hard-pressed to find 4 songs in a row on any album that rip as hard as Shiver, Spies, Sparks, and Yellow. Other than that, the songs are pretty boring and dull
