The Dead End Follies Album Review Compendium, Vol. 2
I started reviewing albums in early 2015, looking for a way to keep it fresh for you and to challenge myself in general. I didn't know what the hell I was doing, but I based myself on countless music critics and musicology videos I watched on the YouTubes in order to help me understand the nuances of my favorite artists better.
