its pretty much just about okay and standard twigs fare that stays enjoyable but kinda just "oh this is a song that is playing"
MF DOOM: 7/7
okay this is EASILY the best MF DOOM project. his extremely technical style blends so perfectly with these outwardly darker and angrier beats/themes. it feels like a final statement that says everything he was hiding or suppressing. pretty amazing album. GAZZILLION EAR is my favorite song of his by a longshot
how are you going to say you're influenced by LCD Soundsystem and have the most bland milquetoast and undanceable dance pop instrumentals since Meghan Trainor
MF DOOM: 6/7
a lot more fun to listen to than a lot of his previous work in this very sample-heavy and more technically focused style. i think its getting closer to something I could spend a few relistens on. picking and choosing your favorite from MM..FOOD is certainly the way to go though.
MF DOOM: 5/7
funny enough, I've enjoyed VV:2 the most so far, the more intense and groovy beats work so well along with the storytelling here. big fan of this one, reminds me of classic 90s hip hop

errrr it passes and its alright and DISAPPOINTING
MF DOOM: 3/7
A pretty hefty step up: the darker and more gloomy atmosphere really goes a long way here.
MF DOOM: 2/7
it's wildly impressive how there is just so much going on in every song he makes. it's just such a trip to listen to, and I can't fully focus. a little better than doomsday, still not something i feel inclined to revisit
MF DOOM: 1/7
not really my cup of tea, but a fun listen.
i haven't really had much to say about albums as of late...
the most transgender albums are those with screaming and way too much distortion. i am so glad i FINALLY got onto orchid
as much as id like to rate higher i really think this isnt quite what it could've been. more inconsistent than i'd like. I'll Change For You is really really good though

"@TopHatGoose I do quite like Forever Howlong but i think any copycats wouldn't be particularly enjoyable. The sound evolution was VERY appreciated to me. The combination of Baroque Pop and Chamber Rock is hard to fake: It's usually great, or it's quite bad. Forever Howlong proved to me that BC,NR are one of the more cohesive modern bands in the artistic sense, and I deeply respect them for their commitment to originality. They don't invent the conventions but they do innovate in important ways. If other people fail to make Baroque Pop next, fine! Most I can do is give my props and credit to the artists I like.
Nice talking to you! AOTY usually isn't the place I go for actual music discussion, so this is quite welcome."

"@TopHatGoose Thanks for the explanation, I likely won't sit through more though, lol
The constant windmill scene veneration is something that has annoyed me to no end! It essentially has two genres (crank wave and chamber-post-baroque-rock-pop / ants from up there-ish), and i'm sick of both. this year has seen so many derivative windmill type albums that the scene has near lost its charm. It's frankly ridiculous how boring it's all become (looking at Racing Mount Pleasant). I seriously hope its just a 2020s fad."

"@TopHatGoose Pain to Power was the first Maruja thing I ever heard, it's fascinating how they've been making the same okay crank wave for years It kind of pisses me off that I disliked this EP so much because now i feel like i was swindled. Takes a lot for a band to pull that off.
Funny story, after hearing Pain to Power I was so enamored by it (as one is the first time hearing Proletariat-Crank-Wave) that I pre-ordered the vinyl. It never ended up coming after four months, I eventually had to call my bank to refund. I don't know if that's a normal occurrence, but I think it IS a sign."
