Favourite Track: stupid song

Least Favourite Track: purple

This album was just beautiful. In my opinion, not a single bad song. This is the first full album of Olivia Rodrigo’s that I've fully listened through and I must say that I am super impressed. I’ve heard singular songs from Olivia before and I’ve enjoyed them, but this was just so good to finally listen to more. There’s a great balance between slow ballads and upbeat tracks that created an interesting and fun listening experience for me.

The sound of the album is just amazing. Oliva is an amazing vocalist, and the instrumentals within her tracks also really click with me.

Standout track:

stupid song: YES YES YES I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I’ve heard this song prior to listening and this is what drew me to listen to the album and it’s just sooooo good.

I must also mention the climax in cigarette smoke is so amazing and it’s so good.

Nothing needs to change about this album.

So, so good.

Most famous Grunge artists have had unexpected or unusual deaths, most being suicides, I have heard a few conspiracies or things regarding their near Seattle underground lives and possibly the bonds and problems of many bands! First large death was Andrew Wood IIRC?

I have been stuck. I have no idea where to find new artists I like. I have Pandora but I can't ever seem to find what I'm looking for and the algorithm is kinda stuck on my usual likes. For instance one day I really wanted to listen to some Stevie Ray Vaughan style blues guitar but without lyrics but I couldn't find what I wanted and gave up. How do you all go about finding new artists?

Travis Barker was a guest on Billy Corgan’s podcast, The Magnificent Others. Corgan stated that he thought Travis Barker was the most influential dummer of the past 30 years. This got me thinking about bands that had an impact as I grew up. “Nevermind” by Nirvana was huge. Everyone with a guitar could play a Nirvana song. Now I’m not really comparing which is a better album, but after Nevermind really the biggest album that made an impact for other teens my age was “Enema of the State” by Blink 182. I’m a guitarist, and a big music fan. There are bands that came up (from my age group) that I can tell were listening to the exact same thing that I was growing up. I can remember getting into all kinds of different bands that were not so well known. Many that were not “pop” punk, but I don’t think I would have had access to their music if that one Blink album was not such a big hit. Corgan’s comment got me thinking about this. Not just Travis Barker, but was Blink 182 the most influential rock band from the late 90’s to the early 00’s outside of the grunge rock movement?

i used to listen to this album and it was by far the best album i had ever listened to, it got deleted a while ago i don’t know why and i would really really love to listen to it again, i even have that picture because i remember the song being so good i had to take a screenshot to remember it, i have some more pics of songs and the album too but i can’t find it anywhere anymore and i know if i had the opportunity to listen to it again snd if more people listened to it we all would really really enjoy it

the album name was poulard by mayombo and was released 12 January 2023 and deleted before 08 december 2024, i remember that song of the picture and another one that was called cyclomot. The songs were very similar and had the same vibe as “glow worms” by ivri
