Sigrid – Sucker Punch

Sigrid – Sucker Punch

It's possible, that at some point, I am legally required to talk about this album (not really). I don't listen to a ton of Sigrid currently, though I have not moved on or anything, there is just so much other I want to listen to. I also probably burned myself out on Sigrid listening to her TOO MUCH. Her album, Sucker Punch still has a special place. I've always been into music, but I've never really been, ACTIVELY into music. I'm not any level of "hardcore" or anything, but there was kind of a perfect storm moment around me discovering…
Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill

Here's another album for the "This is already so popular" list of albums, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Per Wikipedia, it's the 13th biggest-selling album, ever, and the 3rd biggest put out by a woman. There is a good chance that you've at least heard a song from this album, somewhere. It's an album that really sort of embodied a lot of the 90s feel at the time. It's an album that I listened to a lot in High School and beyond, and it's a strong strong contender for "Most listened to album". I like to track music as much…
Aurora – A Different Kind of Human

Aurora – A Different Kind of Human

I figure I should just continue on from Infections of a Different Kind with the follow-up album, A Different Kind of Human. These are, in theory, two parts to a greater whole, though it's not clear if there will every actually be anymore of that whole, I personally hope so. Aurora's fourth album, The Gods We Can Touch, has grown on me since it was first released, but I still don't enjoy it as much as her previous albums and it definitely has a slightly different feel to it overall. Of the pair, I think overall I prefer A Different…

Aurora – Infections of a Different Kind

Technically Infections of A Different Kind is an EP and not an album, along with it's sister EP, A Different Kind of Human, they make up a complete double album. I also have heard that Aurora has plans to put out some addition "Step X" albums at some point, though I can't speak to any truth on that. I certainly wouldn't mind it. A Different Kind of Human carries on with a lot of the themes present in All My Demons... with tracks that are self reflecting and tracks that are more outward focused, and tracks that are both quite…
Arooj Aftab

Arooj Aftab

Welcome again to another round of, "More Musical Storytime, Less Musical Review". For this week's write up, I'm covering more, an Artist than a specific album. Specifically, Arooj Aftab, a Pakistani-American artist. I have two of her album, Vulture Prince, her third album, and the Record Store Day vinyl of Live in London. Arooj Aftab really isn't my normal "kind of music" though honestly, I don't really even have a "kind of music", as I have always just, enjoyed all kind of music. I've listened to plenty of pop, rock, country, hip hop, and, somewhat experimental style minimalist Pakistani music.…
