Today’s Random Album of the Day is the Hype EP from Sigrid. She is a Norwegian pop artist and I have a weakness for Nordic pop. Therefore I own this.
I objectively think this is ok pop. I have a weird relationship with pop which I mostly dislike. But then I have weaknesses. Anyhow, I like this enough to probably keep it. Definitely one of my guilty pleasures.
Rating: 8.5
Favorite Track(s): Probably Borderline. Maybe The Hype.
Keep or Trash: Keep for now. I do kind of dig it.
Continue ReadingIt’s a bit surprising with all of the material in our collection to get two popular albums two days in a row. But today’s Random Album of the Day is Universal Mother From Sinéad O’Connor. For personal reasons, I love that this is today’s selection. I’ve always liked Sinéad O’connor’s music, but have under-listened. So I’m always glad for the excuse to listen.

This album is really good. I don’t know much about this style of music, but it grooves, flows, and makes you want to dance. They probably overuse the vocal effects but that’s normal these days. All in all, it is a very enjoyable album and it fit my mood well today.
Rating: 9.0. This may not be my normal wheelhouse but it’s very good at what it does.
Favorite Track(s): Ni Le Cabe
Keep or Trash: Keep. Even if I didn’t like it my wife loves it so it’s a definite keeper.
Continue ReadingToday’s Random Album of the Day is The Icicles with Arrivals & Departures. Today is pure unadulterated twee pop. Very uplifting and at times bitter sweet. Pretty vocals with jangly music.
This album exudes a certain atmosphere. Even when it’s darker in content lyrically, it’s jangly and bright. But in a way that works. It’s very nice Sunday music actually. It fit so well this morning.
Rating: 8.8. It’s hard to rate this super high for some reason, but I absolutely adore this album. It really meshes with the girl in me.
Favorite Track(s): La Ti Da. I just love how uplifting this song sounds.
Keep or Trash: Keep. I haven’t trashed anything in a while but I really love this album so no chance I’m gonna trash it.
