starting and finishing a discography

21 Mar 2022: Weezer/"Spring" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/03/we-dont-have-that-one-here.html

the first of four releases planned for this year
pleasantly forgettable

a side project by dan auerbach of the black keys
hopefully it's better than the black keys have been lately
(apparently, the black keys released two albums since turn blue and apparently i liked them? i don't remember this)

26 Mar 2022: Mystery Skulls/"Beam Me Up" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/03/more-like-beat-me-up.html

naming the album after its worst track is a bold move

27 Mar 2022: Death from Above 1979/"Is 4 Lovers" (2021)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/03/because-three-lovers-was-not-enough.html

imagine being a band that writes about nothing but sex but then donald trump is elected and oops the world's over everything has to be political now
every single human being has to make sure everyone else 100% understands that they do not condone donald trump
(despite the fact that absolutely nothing happened during trump's presidency)

i skipped their third album due to its overtly political title, and i skipped this one as well
but i was relistening to the physical world and i realised i probably should just bite the bullet and listen to this one
except the last track that one can fuck off

i really like this band and probably should have listened to this a year ago

01 Apr 2022: Franz Ferdinand/"Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action" (2013) [revisited]
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/04/right-thoughts-right-words-right-action.html

i gave this album a pretty low rating on RYM, but i'd like to see how much of that is just disappointment after three great albums in a row and how much was genuine

for some reason the title track reminds me of GTA V (it wasn't in that game)
maybe because they came out in the same year
love illumination is clearly the best track here

i way underrated this album
it's not one of their best, but it's certainly good
up from 1.5 to 3.5

02 Apr 2022: Red Hot Chili Peppers/"Unlimited Love" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/04/infinite-retordts.html

josh klinghoffer is out, john frusciante is back in
miracles do happen
(did you know that klinghoffer was inducted with the band into the rock and roll hall of fame? when fucking ronnie james dio didn't get in with black sabbath? it's fucking disgusting)

by far the band's best album since stadium arcadium

06 Apr 2022: Death from Above 1979/"Outrage! Is Now" (2017)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/04/mediocrity-is-now.html

reluctantly finishing a discography
with a title like that, this clearly should have been a panic! at the disco album
making the title track the worst song on the album was a bold choice
also how the fuck do you make a song with "outrage!" WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT the most boring song here
an exclamation point in a song title tells the prospective listener that this song will be bombastic and balls to the wall
dfa1979's balls couldn't be further from a wall here

09 Apr 2022: Jack White/"Fear of the Dawn" (2022)
http://musiccouldbebetter.blogspot.com/2022/04/i-have-constant-fear-that-somethings.html

track four can kiss my ass
i didn't come here for rap fuck off

well this is certainly a bit of a return to form i suppose
blunderbuss was jack white's best solo album, but fear of the dawn is FAR FAR better than boarding house reach or lazaretto
(entering heaven alive comes out in july, and i hope that one is good too)
