Arctic Monkeys

5/5

this is the unknown boxer coming out and just fucking flooring the champ in the first round. So much energy, joy, and even that early on, great hints of what a talent Alex Turner would turn into w/r/t songwriting. ☆☆☆☆☆

The Chronic

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

5/5

under-appreciated gem from my favorite band of all time. "Passive Manipulation," "White Moon," and "The Nurse " are my absolute favorites on here. It's like when you go from gas station coffee to a shot of espresso, or Miller High Life to a stout - a punch in the mug that leaves you befuddled, a bit in pain, but wanting to give it another try "just to make sure i *really* don't like it. PS if you know nothing else off the album, the movie ParaNorman used "Little Ghost" to delightful effect in its end credits. :)
