Low

David Bowie

4/5

Sound and vision is my fav David Bowie song so I’m a little biased off the bat. Never heard “Always Crashing in the Same Car” and loved that one. The end of the album got a little too extraterrestrial and lost me a little. Really good, not my favorite of his overall.

Sound of Silver

2/5

Only ever listened to This Is Happening in full and that one’s great. I was surprised by how skippable a lot of this album was :/-

Fiona Apple

4/5

Fiona Apple sometimes falls in the same category as like Bjork and Joni Mitchell, which is woman I want to love so much and I think are so badass and cool… but something with their music doesn’t click for me. With that being said, this album surprisingly hit really really good today so I think I’m evolving.

Blackstar

This came out two days before his death so that’s iconic but also not very good… feeing torn. Also the album cover made me really excited for when they give us Big Star (pleasseeeee)
