This week for #VGMWednesday hosted by @miona the theme is #WholesomeWaters. As an old-school #SonicTheHedgehog fan, my mind went immediately to the music from Aquatic Ruin Zone from Sonic 2 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.

While exploring a forest road in the Croatan National Forest I came upon an old piano that someone had dumped.. I was saddened at the sight. Angered that someone littered the woodland. Hurt to think this old instrument would never make music again.
Diving through the ruins of Las Vegas, Marvels Below (composed by Oleksa Lozowchuk) is playing. Listen to it on youtube via invidious here: https://y.com.sb/watch?v=2LFQKDMYcgM
Am I a #QueensOfTheStoneAge fanboy? Yes.
Am I biased when reviewing In Times New Roman? Yes.
But:
This album hits all my sweet spots. It is reduced to the best. Dry and melodic. Short, hard, simple riffs. Era Vulgaris part 2? No, better! Villains is long gone, the desert is back!
In Times New Roman is a masterpiece, 4,5 out of 5.
