FrengersMew

Rated 6/10

Mew have always been a bit overrated for me. This one was better than most other listens, but nothing amazing. 2.5/5

ODamien Rice

Rated 8/10

Pretty solid for what it is. Always loved Cannonball. 3.5/5

Another that I have always wanted to like more than I actually do. It is fine, but nothing more than average imo. 3/5

10,000 DaysTool

Rated 4/10

More Tool. Pretty much the same as all the other Tool. Don’t need this much Tool. 2/5

Not as good as dummy, but still a solid listen. Appreciate that they moved from a sample based sound to a performed/written style but it still keeps a similar feel. 4/5

Yet ANOTHER Porcupine Tree?! Who knew? This one may have been the best though...even though I think 3 albums is entirely unnecessary. 3/5

Seems to be standard TH. They were one band who I never really listened to in the past and was really excited to be exposed to give how big they are in Canada. It is just fine, but not sure why they are elevated to national treasure all the time. 3.5/5

Rated 4/10

I am sure it means a lot to some, but to me it was just mediocre and boring. 1.5/5

Stretch 2Arca

Rated 4/10

Pretty wild...kind of standard Arca though. Given their influence and work with so many big artists I have tried to listen in the past. Just never really find myself enjoying. 1.5/5

New YorkLou Reed

Rated 8/10

Loved it! Up there with the top Velvets. Dare I say I may have enjoyed it more than the other Lou Reed on the main list. Great attitude and music. 4.5/5

Rated 4/10

The main novelty for me was that it was in Portuguese (I think). Otherwise it is run of the mill hip-hop adjacent music. 2/5

Fear InoculumTool

Rated 6/10

Tool is one I have never fully gotten into. Seems like I would like it more than I do…but it is largely ok. 3/5
