Other Installments: Two || Three

All of my album ratings for albums released this year (so far). One of my top 10 artists ever dropped (no points for guessing which), and Kanye is being Kanye (which has become more and more of a bad thing). Overall I have high hopes for the rest of the year.

The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot (Themed Playlist)

"The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot “A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, And the dry stone no sound of water. Only There is shadow under this red rock, (Come in under the shadow of this red rock), And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; I will show you fear in a handful of dust.” “My nerves are bad to-night.

Ranking Chelsea Wolfe's Discography (Worst to Best)

Similar / relevant lists: Gaian Doom Boxset Chelsea Wolfe Interview Compilation Radiohead Song Ranking Björk Ranking The Joy Formidable Ranking Chelsea Wolfe is a strong contender for my favorite artist of all time. Her and the eponymous band's style is versatile, and, contrary to the views of some detractors, not chameleonic; all of her work is very dark and often gothic, but there are many different facets and angles of her own unique darkness that she comes at in her work.

Underneath, I will rank my 50 favorite songs of hers. 8. Mistake in Parting || Alternative Rock || 2006 || 5.5/10 7. Birth of Violence || Dark Folk, Singer/Songwriter, Gothic Country || 2019 || 8.5/10 6. Hiss Spun || Doom Metal, Ethereal Wave, Gothic Rock || 2017 || 9/10 5. Unknow
