29 Jul 2019: Foo Fighters/"00111125: Live in London" (2019)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/07/london.html

this is a release of part of a show from 2011
fortunately, this means no tracks from the most recent two albums
unfortunately, this means four these days tracks to two others (three of which are "whatever" - white limo, these days, walk)
basically, with half the album being the bad singles from these days, this live EP feels far more like one of the band's recent two albums: boring
this EP made me actually lower my rating of wasting light because i realised like half the album is filler (white limo, these days, back and forth, a matter of time, walk)

using this, the ideal six-song selection would be
The Pretender
Arlandria
Long Road to Ruin
All My Life
Generator
Everlong

or just you know release the whole show

01 Aug 2019: Radiohead/"Hail to the Thief" (2003) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/08/hail-to-thief-revisited.html

a MUCH better album than i'd remembered
better than amnesiac
this might be the band's most consistent album to this point
i'm really surprised how much i like this now
i don't know if i'm just in a good mood, but i want to say this is their best album to this point

i will is the worst song here

luckily, suspicious minds and his '70s output were right around the corner

the reason i put this one off for so long is because i fucking HATE the album cover
also because their last three albums were bad
this one is no exception

http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2019/08/cant-see-shit.html

after years of resistance, i finally got that skate game
i like the song from this album in that game, PLUS i like bloodstains from THPS4 (speed kills)

this album is only 21 minutes long
i love this band already because even if the rest of the album is total shit, they didn't waste my time

punk misirlou is better than the original

this is legitimately the best punk album ever
i am glad it exists
i am giving it a 5/5 i don't care

i'd also like to show how thin my list of new 5/5 ratings is
mostly just live albums from the classic bands

i'm all for short albums
but having tracks that are just thirty seconds long is just silly

i got tired of treading the same waters all the time so i looked at RYM's chart for "skate punk"
as a bonus, it fills my desire for short albums
