114) The Midnight Walk
Really enjoyed this. Was eye-catching from first glance and remained so throughout. The perfect length. Great audio design, one of the few times I've been like "oh you actually need earphones for this". Wasn't as huge on chapter 4, but only a minor issue. Impressive claymation

Day 105: Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
I guess it's fine, I'm just finding more and more that I'm really not into indie rock. It's kind of bland and dreary, wouldn't say it's bad but it's like it's from an uninspired teen drama soundtrack. 2 stars

Day 104: The Wildest! by Louis Prima
I like it when he makes the funny noises. Generally enjoyed this one, it has a good jazz tone, but the quality is a little inconsistent. Wasn't huge on Keeley Smith's singing. 3 stars.

They released the Apple Music Replay and it's not as shareable probably due to Spotify legal likeness I'm guessing. Should specify I hate my 3rd most listened to album, it's just on there because it's ridiculously long.

Day 103: A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Great album but didn't like it as much as I expected. The arrangement and talent is instantly notable, each song is impressive and catchy, but there are various points where I just didn't jive with the flow. At points it felt like anxiety music. 3 stars

Feel like I don't use Twitch much, but 230 hours seems like a lot, but also somehow @thedoommerchant.rip got into my top 5???

113) Urban Myth Dissolution Center
I had been really excited for the release of this since it caught my eye in a Nintendo indie showcase, a stylish pixel art supernatural horror mystery. However, took me a long time to get through as the writing just wasn't strong enough, nor the gameplay intricate.

Day 102: The Chronic by Dr. Dre
It's good! You can feel the talent coming together on this one, even if I'm not super familiar with Dre. Not much in the way of misses, some of it is dated but the tempo and energy across the album holds it up. 4 stars.

Love the idea of this awful Liefeld cover and this pretty good Jim Lee cover potentially being next to each other in shops.

Day 101: Songs for Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
He really was so big for good reason, one of the classics. I'm not going to pretend that pretty much every song on this wasn't impressive with each arrangement. Frank would rizz me easily. 4 stars

Day 100: Roxy Music (self-titled)
Always in the category of music my mum liked that I couldn't get into. I know I've listened to bits of theirs before but couldn't remember what, returning with this album I see why. Opinion unchanged, I don't really get the appeal. Not bad just fairly bland. 2 stars

112) Stray Children
This may be the most charming game I've ever played, despite also being pretty bleak. A striking visual style, great soundtrack, fun/varied combat and legitimately funny. I adored it the whole way through. The difficulty was inconsistent and at times frustrating, but that's minor

Day 99: Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Now I might be a little biased, being from Manchester and growing up as a fan of the 90's rave music we got up North. I was also really into the Wipeout games with this style of music, including stuff from this album. Almost all bangers. 5 stars.

Day 98: Stankonia by OutKast
I was expecting more from this, but it's only okay. A few decent songs, had obviously heard Ms. Jackson as well as B.O.B, but the rest was mostly forgettable or kind of bad. Another album filled with mostly skits between every song, but long and unfunny. 2 stars.

The choice to make Psylocke become suddenly Asian is still very iffy... but the redesign is just instantly so much better than her weird steel corset and cloak outfit from before.
