Miguel Gonzales March 6, 2024
People can only consume so much, especially when multiple albums are released every day. It’s not possible to listen to everything — unless you have too much time on your hands. Since we’re nearing the end of half the decade, it makes sense to write about retrospectives on albums that went unnoticed. I hope that you find something you like here because I feel that all of them are worth a spin.
