Hellos lovelies!

Let's get started!
DISCLAIMER: These are just my opinions, I don't mean to offend anyone or any artist. Everyone has a different taste in music so even if our opinions aren't the same, it's all good :)
225 out of 500 albums
”Heart to mouth” by LP (7/10)
LP is such a vibe I can’t explain, I don’t listen to her very often but when I do it’s an experience. Love her voice so much
”Rui Veloso” by Rui Veloso (8/10)
This is one of the biggest icons from my country, the music is amazing. It’s such an amazing rock and blues mix. I recommend it to anyone
”O monstro precisa de amigos” by Ornatos Violeta (9/10)
If portuguese indie was a band, this would be it. It’s fantastic and I can’t stop listening. My friends are super obsessed and tried to get me to like it before, but somehow I didn’t. Now I love it
”Tempo” by Pedro Abrunhosa (6/10)
I was in a portuguese mood as you can tell. This is another classic artist, his music is very distinct and easy to recognize as his singing is sort of talking (?). It’s a weird technique but everyone loves it
”Mingos e samurais” by Rui Veloso (5/10)
The whole album is pretty meh except for “A paixão”. You can play that song anywhere in Portugal and everyone will start singing and sometimes crying, it’s super intense to everyone
”A night at the opera” by Queen (8/10)
I know it is one of Queen’s masterpieces but it’s not my favourite album of them. Some songs are super but others weren’t that appealing to me
”Boom Boom Room Side A” by Palaye Royale (9/10)
Palaye Royale are so not as appreciated as they should. It can be defined as garage rock but I don’t care much for genres. Remington’s voice is heaven
”Drones” by Muse (9/10)
After overcoming my strange aversion to them, this was the 2nd album I heard. One of my favourites ever tbh
”Cão” by Ornatos Violeta (8/10)
I also can’t stop listening to this album, especially “Mata-me outra vez”
”Hesitation Marks” by Nine Inch Nails (6/10)
I was a little disappointed. I was expecting some life altering thing but it was a bit boring
”Innerspeaker” by Tame Impala (8/10)
Most of my friends love Tame Impala, so I had to finish all their albums, this was the last one I had left. It was very good but my favourite is still Lonerism
”Awaken, my love!” by Childish Gambino (8/10)
I don’t know why but I had the urgent need to listen to him out of nowhere. Was not disappointed, can’t wait to listen to more
”The doors” by The Doors (8/10)
They have some amazing songs but others were just like “meh it’s the same as the others”
”Wish you were here” by Pink Floyd (1010)
Boy oh boy was this brilliant. The first song killed me, and so did the rest. I want to listen to it on repeat and cry with all the emotions
”Synchronicity” by The Police (6/10)
I don’t have much to say about this album, it’s ok, nothing too fancy
”Are you experienced” by The Jimi Hendrix experience (9/10)
Somehow it took me 17 years but I did it. I listened to god himself
”The 2nd Law” by Muse (8/10)
Although I didn’t enjoy it as much as Drones, it’s still amazing. We now love Muse
”Led Zeppelin II” by Led Zeppelin (8/10)
I only realized “Whole lotta love” was by them when I heard this, I thought it was someone totally different. I believe this one is better than Physical Graffiti
”Out of our heads” by The Rolling Stones (8/10)
Definitely my least favourite so far but great nonetheless
”Slippery when wet” by Bon Jovi (8/10)
Most songs were bangers, but still wasn’t a 9 for me
”Use your illusion I” by Guns and Roses (5/10)
I’m so disappointed, this album has like 3 awesome songs but the rest is so not interesting
”Billy Idol” by Billy Idol (6/10)
I don’t think it was a very special album. I’ll always have a great time while listening to White Wedding tho
”Metallica” by Metallica (7/10)
I only knew the most famous ones but I’ll say the album was better than I expected. Maybe my hopes were just super low after those last albums
”Leftoverture” by Kansas (8/10)
This album was pretty cool, I didn’t really know what to expect of it as I had only ever heard Carry on my Wayward Son. It had a lot of cool songs that I’ll probably listen to a lot
”Dire Straits” by Dire Straits (9/10)
Now this was a surprise. Every single song was amazing. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it this much! Guess I have to listen to more albums
Thank you for joining me for the 9th part of my series. We’re almost halfway there, it’s so exciting! I feel as if I’ve been writing less with each article but some albums just don’t have much to be said about. As always, if you’d like to suggest an album feel free to message me.
