A Wee Bit About Myself

About Me

Well what's happening, My Name is Niall, and I am a 19-Year-Old student at Ulster University Belfast. I am currently studying business, and this is my second year and for one of my modules I've been tasked with creating this blog. I am excited to share some of my favourite albums and artists with all of you and hopefully hear some of your recommendations.

I am a keen vinyl collector and just general lover of music with my all-time favourite band being Pink Floyd although I do also love many other amazing artists and genres especially Rap and Metal. 

I've never been the type of person who posts all of the time on my personal social media accounts so I am a little bit nervous and embarrassed but I do love a challenge. In this blog you can expect album reviews, my own recommendations, interviews and much more. So please make sure to check the blog weekly and follow all of The Vinyl Vaults Socials

"What's Spinning" - 29/09/25 - "Animals"- Pink Floyd

  What's Spinning This Week Track list 1. "Pigs on the Wing 1" (1:24) 2. "Dogs" (17:04) 3. "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" (11:25) 4. "Sheep" (10:18) 5. "Pigs on the Wing 2" (1:26) Released - 23rd Jan 1977 Album Length - 41 Minutes Inspired by George Orwell's "Animal Farm" this somewhat ignored Pink Floyd album preaches a message about injustice and greed. With the soft acoustics from Roger Waters in " Pigs on the wing" and in my opinion Gilmour's greatest guitar solos in " Dogs " this album is a must listen. 'Animals' is a personal favourite of mine especially because of its standout track " Dogs " there are few Pink Floyd songs which rival it. Political lyrics and mesmerising solos are what makes this album so unique and a must have for any vinyl collector. This progressive rock masterpiece gets a rating of    9 / 10 . Following their releases of "The Dark Side Of The Moon...

What's spinning this week Track list 1. Greeting Planet Earth (2:28)   2. Revolution of Mass               Destruction(2:31) 3. Deadly Alliance (4:27) 4. Armageddon (3:23) 5. The Mightiest Magician (2:29)   6. Incantations (2:45) 7. Aftermath Of Agony (2:47)   Released - 28th Sep  2024  Album Length - 20 Minutes Imagine mixing Nas, Wu-tang Clan and MF Doom together and you'd get Sci-Fi The Mastermind. Old school boom bap beats and conscious lyrics makes Armageddon an album that will always be in your rotation. The title track features some of the best spitting I've seen especially for a underground artist. A relatively short album yes however every song is just old school hip-hop at its best and I believe its a breath of fresh air for the rap community. With songs like Revolution of Mass Destruction and The Mightiest Magician this album will feed all of your rap cravings with hard hitting lyrics, amazing samples...

The Little Things Give You Away (6:23) Released - 14th May 2007 Album Length - 43 Minutes If you're looking a heavy hitting album to headbang to look no further than Minutes To Midnight by none other than Linkin Park. Recommended by my good friend Eimantas this album packs a punch while also pulling on the heartstrings. Falling into the genre of Nu-Metal/Alternative Rock which was pioneered by the likes of Linkin Park, Korn and System Of A Down I feel this is an album that many people can enjoy. With the heavy screams of Chester Bennington and the slick rap vocals of Mike Shinoda you definitely want to listen to this one.  With stand out tracks such as Bleed It Out and Gi...
