Queen - A Kind Of Magic

 Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing A Kind Of Magic. This was Queen's last tour promoted album, due to Mr. Freddie Mercury's declining health. Let's see how this album sounds.

We open on One Vision, a pretty good rock song, with a lot of synths mixed with classic rock instruments. The vocals were pretty nice too. Not that bad of a start.

A Kind Of Magic was an OK song with some nice vocals, but generally, it wasn't that special at all.

One Year Of Love was probably Queen's attempt to try make another slow, love song like Las Palabras De Amor from Hot Space. Problem is... it isn't good.

Pain Is So Close To Pleasure sounds like the cheesiest 90s pop song that would play on the radio very late at night... and that song is bad.

Friends Will Be Friends is extremely cheesy and annoying. Do not want to hear this song again.

But... on the other hand... Who Wants To Live Forever... I don't think I need to say anything else.

Gimme The Prize was very forgettable, and the sound effects in the middle are just so annoying. The vocals are awful and just so terrible.

Don't Lose Your Head was another forgettable song.

And was Princes Of The Universe was actually really good.

So... yeah... A pretty bad album if you ask me. Will definetly not return to it.

Favourite tracks: One Vision, Who Wants To Live Forever, Princes Of The Universe;
Score: 2/10

I'm Quitting My Blog...

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. I am now announcing that I am quitting this blog for multiple reasons: 1. It's blocking my musical journey. Due to me being forced to listen to the same artists without much else, I feel like my exploration is being hindered by this blog. 2. I am wasting my precious time for nothing. Nobody reads these posts, nobody reads blogs these days, they need short and snappy videos, which leads me to... 3. I will be making YouTube shorts, instead of writing these reviews, as they will reach a much wider audience, and won't need as much work. Thank you for respecting my choice, and I will see on YT...

The End of Electronics - Union

  Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today I will be reviewing The End of Electronics' first album, Union. As I mentioned in my   Voskhod review , I found out about this one-man band because of my affinity with Molchat Doma. I listened to his first album, and have to say... this album is pretty good. Not the best, but still really good. Let's dive deeper into it, shall we?  Kicking off the album is Night. It has a really interesting vibe to it, feeling like it's the beginning of your journey, and look out the window of your vehicle, you see rural areas and small towns. That's the feel thus song gives me. It has an amazing chorus instrumental and is just overall really well made!  Moving on, we have the oddly melancholic Union. Not that there is anything bad with that, but the instrumental gives me a sadder vibe. It really cool, it feels like the journey has taken a break, and you stopped at a gas station. The vocals are really cool in this song, and adds up to another...

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II

Greetings everyone! Quick disclaimer, this will be a long post, so grab yourself some tea while you read. Anyway, today I will be reviewing Aphex Twin's second album, Selected Ambient Works Volume II. After the amazing EP that was 85-92 , I had high hopes for this album. With that being said, let's get straight into the review. Right off the bat, Cliffs (I will be referring to the fan names) was a great start to the album, it's main motif being a woman's vocals being repeated constantly over the soothing ambient chords. I could hear the woman say "песня" (pesnya), which means song in Russian. Then suddenly, Radiator was a pretty creepy song, with a repeating melody that sounded like a stock phone alarm for some reason. Even though it had some very eerie chords, it was overall a pretty enjoyable track. But then, after the song had ended, Rhubarb's calm, welcoming chords started playing, giving me a comforting feel and was overall just a super chill, meditat...
