Spaven's 5ive

I don't have the understanding of musical theory required to write a proper review, but I will do as well as I can to honor this album. Honestly, I discovered this album after looking up a track that played on the Worldwide FM radio station in Grand Theft Auto V. I had never heard of Richard Spaven before, but I felt like his music hit something very familiar whenever I listened to 1795. I finally decided to look up the album, and I was not displeased. All of the tracks on the album sound similar to each other, with key differences from track to track. While vocals play over some songs, others are purely instrumental. If such a genre existed, I would liken this album to Space Jazz or Futuristic Jazz. The sounds that you encounter in this album, paired with the rhythms and beats, are excellent to experience while lounging around and relaxing, performing menial work, completing homework, or driving. I feel like while this music isn't as popular as it should be, it might be playing in popular lounge locales in the future. If you're looking for something to enjoy in the background or even to study to, this album is perfect.

As a drummer, this album is my Graceland. All the tracks share something, but each is unique. I love this album and have been listening to it for 1.5 years now.

I'm surprised this music isn't more popular.
