G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 8/17/25

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection:

The 13th Floor Elevators – The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators – Rating: 0.5 / 5

I really can’t stand the psych rock this list is determined to showcase as something you must hear before you die. So much of it is downright awful. This one tries to take psych rock and blend in some surf and garage rock, and I even heard a lil’ country twang in the instruments on one song. It doesn’t work well, and the singer’s absolute trash voice only makes it worse

Other Albums:

Mai Kuraki – Kimi Omou: Shunkashūtō – Rating: 4 / 5
