Seems like maybe more detail than is necessary for an Amazon review of a stereo amplifier, but that's just one man's opinion.

I actually kinda hate Workingman's Dead, so I don't know why I was listening to it last week. I encountered Western Cum completely by accident, but it's a truly great guitar record. I was also reminded this week that Headhunters is actually the worst Headhunters record. @listenbrainz.org

Awfully white week on @listenbrainz.org this week. That Denzel Curry gets better every time I hear it, Flatt and Scruggs are classic, and this is my least favorite Sons of Kemet, but it's still incredible. I remembered this Lucia being recorded really badly, but it doesn't seem that way this time.

@listenbrainz.org Painkiller are incredible; really great to be revisiting their discography. Bill Laswell/Mick Harris are super high quality. L'elisir is low-key my 2nd or 3rd favorite opera; it goes down so smooth. Felix Ames isn't that well-known, but I love this record. #listenbrainztuesday
