Architecture And Morality
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The DarkWeird, gothy, but fun. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I forgot how much I loved Tracy Chapman, and hadn’t heard anything besides Fast Car in years.
Despite this not being my most favorite band or album, if I had to make a time capsule for a future millennia, I’d put this album in it. So many hits, and it’s a perfect reflection of the direction music was moving in at the time. Fun fact: the doors performed at my high school when they were just starting!
A classic, one of my favorites. You really can’t go wrong with Coltrane.
I audibly gasped when I saw this was my album for the day. Even though I’m a 90’s baby, my mom introduced me to the Go-Gos early and I’ve always had a special relationship with this album, so my review is biased. It’s fun, it’s a little feminist, it’s surfy, it’s funky. Do the songs get a little repetitive? Sure, but never in a bad way. Best songs are This Town and Automatic. Belinda’s vocals are just as good so many years later.
A classic - I remember longboarding my neighborhood hills after school listening to this album all the time. Contains the best song ever written about road rage. Objectively I know it’s not the worlds greatest album, but it was a staple of the time and I still enjoy it just as much as I did when I was a kid.
