I jumped ship from Spotify after the last controversy and tried Apple Music. A few friends use it, so it can't be that bad can it? Well after a few months I can say it's dire. YASSS, the ultimate playlist of niche bullshitFirstly if you're using it on a desktop…
It's wild how it's been 3 years since the last Sabaton album. Pandemic adjusted it's ~1 year I guess. In between we've had a few singles in which have been somewhere between Fine and This Has Aged Poorly. On first listen I wasn't impressed so I've given it a lot…
