The White Stripes – White Blood Cells

White Blood Cells came screaming out of Detroit with busted-knuckle garage rock that felt both raw and deliberate, like punk written with a fountain pen dipped in battery acid.

Pearl Jam – No Code

No Code doesn’t care what you expect. It shuffles, howls, whispers, and disappears when you get too close. A fractured, soul-searching record that shows Pearl Jam rebuilding in real time—messy, honest, and strangely beautiful.
