Queens of the Stone Age

2/5

1/5

Day 14 sigh! ew ew ew Brian Hugh Warner but I convinced myself to listen to it cause yk separating the art from the artist and also for the other band member's talents. This is exactly the type of music I grew out of and I am glad I did. I just can't vibe with these types of lyrics anymore. Some guitar riffs were catchy though but I couldn't listen to the whole thing. (0/5) but I have to give it at least a star so it logs my review.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

3/5

Decent album, sounds 60s and not so 60s at the same time. I love the psychedelic, the folk rock and jazz influences. The lead singer sounds so much like Arthur Lee.

Day 96 First listen- I had only listened to Red Dirt Girl and really looked forward to hearing this album. Her voice sounds gorgeous and she sounds so much like Dolly Parton.
