Please check my top pinned rec: STARTING A WEEKLY ALBUM REVIEW CLUB WITH YOUR FRIENDS
I was absolutely in a rut with music listening for years. Iād throw on some algorithmic playlists, and almost always felt bored by the vast majority of stuff that popped up. Plus, algorithms in streaming have actually gotten worse: on Spotify, theyāre essentially funnels that keep leading you down the same path.
So, we started this little club for listening to and reviewing albums. Now, personally Iām always and forever going to find a lot of music lackluster ā Iāll try just about anything but the stuff that really grabs me is still in the minority. But when youāre discovering stuff together, even a bad album is part of the experience thatās worth something. Maybe you all hate it and can just vent to each other about why. Maybe someone likes it and you donāt and you can have a spirited little back-and-forth about that. Either way, thereās a new album getting picked next week for you all to try. And eventually youāre gonna land on some stuff that you really like!
