[b]Song: "Water The Well"

These guys last appeared all the way back in session 3, where they failed to make an impression on me. This time, however, while nothing special, I enjoy it enough to give it an add.

[b]Song: "Chondromalacia Patella"
Artist: black midi

Another artist I first heard way back in session 3. This one is okay, but I'll try another one.

[b]Song: "Marlene Dietrich"
Artist: black midi
Album: Cavalcade[/b][/center]
I liked the first one better, but again, that was just okay. No add again from these guys.

[b]Song: "I'm Dead (feat. jxdn)"
Artist: Nessa Barrett
Album: I'm Dead (feat. jxdn) [From the podcast "Prom In Hell"] - Single[/b][/center]
I was thinking this was just alright, but the more I listened to it, the more it became good enough for an add. I'll do it.

[b]Song: "Why"
Artist: Red Fang
Album: Arrows[/b][/center]
These guys last appeared in session 6. This song is a little better than the last song I heard from them, but still isn't enough.

[b]Song: "Secret Garden"
Artist: Spiritbox
Album: Eternal Blue[/b][/center]
Not very original, but it has enough hooks for me to add.

[b]Song: "Fear of Dying"
Artist: Poppy
Album: Fear of Dying - Single[/b][/center]
I like it, but this artist is known for juxtaposing metal with pop in the same vein as BABYMETAL. This sounds more like meeting the middle and going accessible hard rock. Oh well, it's still enjoyable.

[b]Song: "I Gotta Rock (Again)"
Artist: Dee Snider
Album: Leave A Scar[/b][/center]
Ah, the legend himself! It's kinda the same-old, same-old here, but I'lm going to add it simply because Dee Snider still sounds great at over 65 years old. 🤘

[b]Song: "this is growing up"
Artist: almost monday

Last saw this artist in session 9. Their song there was meh, but this is much better! They've redeemed themselves.

[b]Song: "Take It Back"
Artist: JAWNY
Album: Take It Back - Single[/b][/center]
Without even looking at the title, I wonder what the name of the song is? Is it "Take It Back"? 🙄 Too repetitive.

These guy were previously featured in session 4, where they had a song I thought was boring. But they've redeemed themselves greatly here! Very nice!

This guy is one of the founding members of Dinosaur Jr. It's okay. Out of respect, I'll try another song.
