Album #1: Songs by Adrianne Lenker

Favorite Song: Zombie Girl

Notes: Songs is such a simple yet strong album that if you take a moment to listen to it, you can truly understand the true beauty and raw emotions showcased here. I highly recommend this album if you’re looking for something on a more personal level. This is a 10/10 album that I will be listening to again.

Album #2: Slipknot by Slipknot

Favorite Song: Only One

Notes: Slipknot is one of the most famous groove and heavy metal bands out there, and for good reasons. They find a way to convey a message with their music while still having fun with it. I was lucky enough to see them in the beginning of September, and they’re my favorite live performance to date. If you have the time, and are into this type of music, I highly recommend listening to this album.

Album #3: Aftertaste by Hey Violet

Favorite Song: Uncomplicated

Notes: I am saddened to say I did not like this album that much. I am a huge Hey Violet fan and have been listening to their music for years now. They made this album to announce that the band is actually disbanding and that this is their final studio album to say goodbye. I wish this album had more emotion to it, but it seemed like such a generic alternative pop album. Their older stuff is 10 times better.
