doing my best to take the time during the week to chill and listen to a new* album (*"new" to me, not necessarily new at the time of listening) for my own personal enjoyment and for the sake of expanding my music taste. can't promise any super interesting commentary unless i feel inspired to do so.

05.22.23 - 06.04.23

2.) Use Your Illusion II (1991) - Guns N' Roses
