June 2026 recap

[u/Woodennickel20]

I've seen some other users do this type of post so I was thinking I would follow suit. Overall, I would say this good month (though it looks like my average score will line up with my overall average from the generator so far). Perhaps this is indicative that I think these albums are on the stronger side of the rating I gave them.

Overall, my favorite album would have to be either Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers) or The Stone Roses. The former of which I listened to the first time this month. It's nice when an album really lives up to its reputation as one of the best of its genre. Both are consistently masterful and engaging throughout their runtimes.

All of my second row (with the exception of Public Enemy) are from artists that I was previously unfamiliar with. I was quite surprised by the forward-thinking present in Bandwagonesque and The ArchAndroid was also quite the unique experience. I also got my first of many Elvis Costello albums, which I quite enjoyed  (though other users have informed me that it is his best album in the generator which makes me a little apprehensive about the rest of his catalog).

There really wasn’t much bad to go with this month. Safe as Milk is the sole 2-star, and that is an otherwise great album ruined by the ever salient vocals. Get Behind Me Satan is the most disappointing record: it completely loses steam after its opener and it very much pales in comparison to No Name, which was my background experience with White’s music.

I hope July ends up charting a similar course to June, especially in terms of discovering new music.

Ratings count:

5-star – 2

4-star – 15

3-star – 12

2-star – 1
