PURE HELL Round 3: Finale Absurdity

Your previous points do not matter any longer.
1Ja Ja Ja
Ja Ja Ja

1) Give me a song from every year you've been alive.

2) Give me an album from any year you haven't been alive.

3) Give me an album from a band I have not rated any higher than 2.5. (if I didn't rate the band at all, don't rec it)

4) No rule omission here, all music must be new to me, winner takes all.

togetherly: 84.5 / 27 = 3.13 (rounded up)

2) Neil Young-Harvest
Occasionally memorable, occasionally not, but most definitely always pleasant as heck. I don't know what it is about it, but this record, while not particularly outstanding, just feely calming and relaxing. Yuppie-yay. 3.5

3) Karnivool-Themata
Actually a much more compelling listen than that other album I've heard. Less water, the production doesn't sound so flat and the song-writing is actually memorable. 3.5

ZombieToyDuck altogetherly: 3.13 + 3.5 + 3.5 = 10.13

2017- Grafvitnir- Crossing the Abyss - 2.5 (I mean, it's an interlude... the rest of the album seemed great, though)

togetherly: 68 / 21 = 3.24 (rounded up)

2) Earth Wind and Fire- Spirit
yeah... what the fuck... 1.5
3) Accept- Restless and Wild
More of something I could theoretically get behind, but far from perfect... or even high above average. It is just an off-putting (as it should be, honestly) metal record with some forgettable tunes, but unforgettable energy. It's alright, I suppose. 3

bgillesp altogetherly: 3.24 + 1.5 + 3 = 7.74
