Week 23 - Rich Brian - 1999
Rich Brian is an artist I've followed since he debuted, Dat Stick was a banger that proved that anyone with the right drive could break into an genre of their choosing. I fell off a little though, so I decided to see what I might have missed in the last while (🧵)

Week 22 - Björk - Post
I did Debut at the beginning of this project as an example of outsider pop that influences all over, and Post is a good example of continuing that in the best way, by staying experimental and trying different things other than Swedish songwriting. Björk nailed it as always (🧵)

Week 21 - New Found Glory - Sticks & Stones
New Found Glory speak from a time I remember as a blur of early to late teens featuring a lot of black clothing, skateboards, and OMGSORANDOM humour. That said, the right song comes on and the nostalgia hits like a wave, so I figured it's time to dive. (🧵)

Week 20 - Daft Punk - Human After All
I like Daft Punk a lot, which is nice, but I've only listened to like, two albums by them in their entirety, so I decided to try the album I know the least and has the general lowest reputation as a project from them. If this was the low bar, I'm quite happy (🧵)

Week 19 - Wolvhammer - The Monuments of Ash & Bone
I've had this album sitting in my collection for a while without listening to it. It came into my ownership with a few other additions from Blood Music I got given in return for some work for one of their distributors. This one is strange. (🧵)

Week 18 - Death Grips - Government Plates
It was time to saddle up with another DG album, and the next one was interesting. Government Plates feels completely different to the two albums before, sounding more like a refined electronic project with the same frenetic energy that other two had (🧵)

Week 17 - Bad Religion - No Control
The last few albums have been 1+ hour long commitments, and this week I wanted something shorter that wasn't an EP. Trust the Tony Hawk soundtracks to save the day. This one is kind of the defining sound for Bad Religion, and I only ever knew Big Bang. (🧵)

Week 16 - Digitalism - Idealism
Continuing the trend of Albums I've owned but never fully listened to, it's Digitalism's debut album. I bought this album as a rare find in one of the best secondhand shops in Waterford thats no longer with us off knowing the band from the song Blitz in SSX 2012. (🧵)

Week 15 - The Sword - Warp Riders
I've known about The Sword from my Guitar Hero days, but had never really looked past Freya to see what they were like. I saw a chance when they appeared on the list for RSD25, I figured the album would be worth checking out. (🧵)

Week 14 - Hall & Oates - Big Bam Boom
The 80s was a long time ago, and this review might be Out of Touch so to speak. But with recent trends I've seen, there's no denying the nostalgia people have for them, so I figured why not, if they had one big hit on this album, they had to have a few more (🧵)

Week 13 - Alice in Chains - Dirt
I had a lot on this week and needed something that could fit into a car journey home, lo and behold, Them Bones came on shuffle as I was pulling into a service station on the long drive and my decision was made for me. Time to finally listen to the full thing. (🧵)

Week 12 - MPB-4 - Amigo é Pra Essas Coisas
Another friend's recommendation, and this one is entirely unique to me. I had never heard of the MPB genre, nevermind the band that helped popularise it in their home country. And what I also wasn't ready for was how sonically diverse it is. (🧵)

Week 11 - Grace Jones - Nightclubbing
I only know one song by Grace Jones, and it's from this album, so this was logical. By no means did it disappoint, whil arguably a pop album, there's a lot of New Wave and Noir influence on this, and the mix works very well, there's a good reason it's iconic (🧵)

Week 10 - OM - Advaitic Songs
Spotify Discovery got me covered this week. I'd never heard of OM before this week, completely new to me, so the second band on this run to do so. I'm also not generally a Stoner Metal type, but this was interesting because it was this wave of droning that hooked me (🧵)

Week 9 - Death Grips - No Love Deep Web
I had to be really careful about my choice of album cover here. I've listened to DG before, and own a copy of The Money Store, but I had never gone past that. I forgot how good DG are when they're at full power and this album is a great example (🧵)

Week 8 - Spandau Ballet - True
I wanted something a tad lighter than the last few weeks, and then Gold came on shuffle and I figured why not. This was actually more interesting as it turned out to have a few songs I didn't realise were Spandau, a lovely turn of events since I only knew one song (🧵)

Week 7 - Bauhaus - The Bela Session
This isn't technically an album, but I didn't have a lot of time this week for music, so I picked something short and sweet with a few songs, and I had meant to listen to Bauhaus for a long time. The lead song being considered the beginning of Goth Rock. (cont.)

Week 6 - HIM - Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666
If like me, you grew up in the mid 2000s alt crowd, you couldn't avoid HIM's Heartagram logo, so I decided to go all the way back to the beginning with their first album, and I was genuinely taken aback by how little the sound I know HIM for changed. (cont)

Week 5: "Endtroducing..." by DJ Shadow
I have brief history with this album, I used a song from it as part of a promo for the stream. It's held up as a classic of hip-hop production these days and with good reason. This is a long listen, but it's solid all the way through (cont.)

This one came as a recommendation from a friend, and I've had soem pretty basic exposure to one song by this band before, and overall I liked this a lot. it's a well put together album with a great concept which always gets me.

Week 3: "Debut" - Björk.
This album was fantastic, genuinely. As someone who only knew Björk for the excellent "All Is Full of Love" video, this was a great point to start with, the bouncy tones are not yet the more ethereal mixes she's known for, but I've loved every moment of this so far.

Week 2: "10,000 Days" by Tool. I'm going to be very honest, I don't think I've ever given Tool a proper chance. They always seemed like that one band only very dedicated prog-heads were into, but YT and Spotify always tried to push me towards them, so I decided to go with the one album I did know. 🧵

Week 1: "Psycho Bod Saves The World" - Portion Control.
