Albums I have listened to recently!! (Part 2)

My second addition to this "series." The first one was a lot of fun to write so I'm excited to create another. I'm just trying to try new stuff out and find new music to enjoy. I hope you enjoy my rambling! (I'm no music critic, quite the opposite. These are all personal opinions based on my own tastes and preferences, not on if these are good or not objectively!):

Thirteenth Step - A Perfect Circle






So I actually listened to all of A Perfect Circle's discography after my previous blog, unfortunately I made the mistake of listening to the greatest album first T_T. It's not that I hated the others, but none could compare to Mer de Noms' beauty for me. This album would have to be my second favorite however, it felt very calming and reminded me a lot of the first. I liked the eerie sound, granted it was a bit too slow at times for my taste. My favorite track is "Pet."

Both Before I'm Gone - Girl In a Coma

I discovered this band while looking for shows near me. I listened to most of their discography and their stuff is really fun and unique. I don't hear this kind of stuff often anymore, and I love me an all girl band hehe. I enjoyed the vocals a lot especially in this album and in "Adventures in Coverland," they really resonated with me. The cover art for this album is so so cute, hehe I love it. Hoping to go one of their shows one day!! My favorite track is "Their Cell."

haha - The Garden

I have always admired the jester look The Garden pulls off, I'm a big fan of all things under the "clown" umbrella. Of course, I was lazy and put off listening to their music for a long time. I heard "Call this # Now" and immediately added it to my likes on Spotify a few years back, but only a couple weeks ago I jumped right in and listened to a good handful of their music. I enjoyed what I listened to a lot! This album was very fun and right up my alley with the crazy sounds. Also, I didn't even realize the "TikTok song" was by them until I heard it here LOL. My favorite track is "Egg."

¿Pimp? - Clown

Found this album thanks to a "Nu Metal" iceberg on TikTok. As stated above, I love anything clown related so I'm intrigued even by a band just named "Clown" hehe. I gotta say, this album was damn good!! Sounds very much like if Korn and Deftones had a baby lol. When I looked them up on Spotify it said the album was released in 2021, but after some digging apparently it was actually released in the late 90s (thankfully), stupid Spotify!! I wish they made more music and figured out their sound, I'm sure they could have gotten a larger following had they done so. Gonna make my boyfriend listen to this album, I think he would dig it. My favorite track is "Laugh."

Love Lies Bleeding - 616 undone




Discovered them from the same iceberg I found Clown in. This album is sooo pretty and sexy I love it so much!!! I spent most of the my first time listening to it while driving my brother to and from work and it's the perfect car ride music. Another album I gotta share with my boyfriend, it would make nice background music while we hang out, me thinks! My favorite tracks are "John's Problem" and surprisingly enough, since I typically have a distaste for such long songs, "Essence."

Best Buds - Mom Jeans.





Heard "Death Cup" in a video and thought it sounded really pretty! I tried to get into the Midwest Emo genre before and sadly I wasn't a fan. The slow sound and the vocals didn't do much for me, but this album really brought back some hope that maybe I can enjoy the genre! The instrumentals are actually so beautiful, the guitar really made this album great for me haha. Actually funnily enough I was listening to this album while writing the first half of this entry! I figured since I just listened to it I might as well include it while my first impression is still fresh. While I'm still unsure of Midwest Emo, I am gonna give it another shot and listen to more of it thanks to Mom Jeans. My favorite track is "Remy's Boyz."

Thanks for reading if you did! I love writing so much hehe, it's fun even if no one really reads or responds, but if you would like to comment anything or have any recommendations for me they will be much appreciated :o))!!!
