ArrivalABBA

Rated 6/10

Being Swedish, I've grown up hearing ABBA everywhere all the time, so there's lots of nostalgia connected to several songs of theirs. This album has some iconic songs, like Dancing queen and Fernando. My personal favourite is Knowing Me, Knowing You. Many of the others are just average.

I had never heard of the band before and just did a quick search beforehand to at least know what genre I was in for. Despite doing this, it both was and wasn't what I was expecting. All in all, I really liked it!

I've never heard a single song by Supertramp before, but I'm pleasantly surprised! At the same time very much a 70s album and quite modern sounding, it makes for a cohesive and lovely listening experience.

Being a The Cure fan since my teenage years, I'm a bit embarrassed to say I haven't taken the time to listen through their entire discography yet. This album popping up when it did was great timing, since I'm seeing them in a couple of weeks for the first (and maybe last?? you never know with these older bands) time.

This album is all about vibes, in the best sense. It's atmospheric, dark and hauntingly beautiful. A Forest being a song I listened to a lot as an angsty teenager, I have a love/hate relationship to it. Some might feel the album as a whole is a bit one note and boring, but for me it fits the theme and lyrics.

It was not a bad album, but it was boring. Thrash, out of all types of metal, is definitely not the most interesting one.

Bad Omens was fun with the often prominent base, but the overall highly unimpressive vocals really didn't do it for me. Hoping for more fun metal in the future...

Rated 8/10

Many of the reviews with lower ratings sadly reeks of misogyny (and probably racism too)...

Anyway, I liked it! It's cohesive and I can absolutely see myself putting this on again. No track really stood out as exceptionally good though.

Listening to this album feels like your best friend embracing you and them telling you how life is pain, but how life also is so much beauty and happiness if we let it reach us.

Rated 4/10

The first two songs (which I had heard before) are really solid, but the rest are just kind of whatever. Minus one star because Eric Clapton.

Rated 4/10

I generally appreciate garage and other similar styles of edm, but over an hour? The vocals didn't do it for me and only one or two songs stood out.
