Alpha · Work in progress

AlbumQuest

Spin the wheel. Pick an album. Live with it for a week.

The next app from RetroGhostLabs isn't about baseball. It's about music. AlbumQuest turns album discovery into a weekly ritual, then turns your listening into a story you can actually see: scores, streaks, charts and a crate of everything you've heard.

HOMENow spinning, score by week, the year so far.

How it works

Album Roulette: one roll, one album, one week.

AlbumQuest started as my own music journal: a weekly album roulette I have been running all year, tracked in notes and spreadsheets the same way I once tracked baseball stats in a spiral notebook. It worked so well that it needed a proper home. Album Roulette is the heart of AlbumQuest, and this season's run is the one you see in the screenshots below.

Roll

A random year and a random source serve up three albums you might never have picked.

Pick

Choose one and make a blind guess at how much you'll like it.

Listen

Live with it all week. Log your gut call and the tracks that grab you.

Review

Score it, compare against the critics, and watch your journey build.
