Every Kendrick Lamar track is somehow derived from the formula found here on this thee Section.80
Its exactly what we expected from dvsn, but delivered unexpectedly well.
Favourite track: Mood (R&B SOTY contender baybee)
Least Favourite track: Claim (being an album that venerates women, stating that "somebody should have claimed you" feels way off.)
Track for track:
Copycat: 2/10
Idontwanabeyouanymore: 6/10
my boy : 8/10 (the originality found here is great)
watch : 3/10
party favor: 6/10
bellyache: 7/10 (an interesting blend of indie and electronica)
ocean eyes: 9/10
hostage: 8/10 (really well written)
For a debut this is really well created, especially as a pop-album.
There a unique color to her songs, which actually makes her music quite enjoyable here
I definitely can see that it is packaged for a listener who loves pop, but this ... read more
An interesting new chapter for Daphni, starting strong, ending strong but falling apart in the middle.
Will update after numerous listens, as is expected with Daphni, there seems to be a lot hiding here.
Favourites: Poly(Caribou truly meets Daphni here), Life's What You Make It & Carry On.
So ready for this movie.
Had this album been soundtrack-ed to any decent movie it would be worshiped, with original tracks from:
Thom Yorke, The Killers, Bon Iver, St. Vincent, Grizzly Bear, Black Rebel Motorcylce Club, Lykke Li & Death Cab for Cutie is quite jaring to think about but again utterly wasted on a terrible movie:
Meet Me on the Equinox 6/10
Friends 6/10
Hearing Damage 10/10 (One of Thom's best solo pieces to date)
Possibility 7/10
A White Demon Love Song 8/10
Satellite Heart 7/10
I Belong to You ... read more
80:
Its an enormous album, so my score will probably change and the songs are complex and messy further hinting at the need to dissect this album, I'm excited to get lost in this album but so far its not the AOTY.
Update:
88 - grower, each song spirals into itself with eons worth of textures and layers and once fully digested it becomes this odyssey of the modern landscape we find ourselves in.
Its something that english artists have this amazing ability to do and its no surprise since the ... read more
Good music with production from El-P and a Nicola Samori album cover, great piece of art all around.

HateMachine (with Danny Brown)
The NBD continue to successfully grapple with what it means to be a rock band in the 21st Century without entirely being devoured by pop-centric demands.
Overall its a good ep, and shows a progression of the bands sound,
71- worth a listen
22nd September releases are all really disappointing, big albums turning out to be very average sized.
Disclaimer: leaked listen
Track for Track:
1.Revelation #12: 5/10
Pretty Average stuff, chorus is horrendous
2. Tattooed In Reverse: 4.5/10
At its worst this sounds like Imagine Dragons at its best it shows new experimentation for Manson
3. W.K.W.Y.FUCKING.L: 7.5/10
4. SAY10: 8.5/10
Starts off sounding as if it was co-produced by Trent Reznor and explodes into something classically Manson.
5.KILL4ME: 8/10
This sounds a great deal better with the rest of the album surrounding it, it makes ... read more
2/2 could Marilyn Manson be coming out with a good album after all this time? what? Trump truly does bring the best out of Manson ^^
Its an unnaturally groovy track for Manson, QOTSA kind of groovy.. That being said the chorus is pretty lukewarm. Still its a sign of variation for the upcoming album and I'm all for it
Also the album has been leaked, so why not,
Chester Bennington's first band had quite the unique sound,
Just Like Heroin
Sometimes
The Down Syndrome
Soul Song
& The Down Syndrome (Acoustic)
As far as unsigned rock artists go in the 90's this is a stellar album, especially the songs mentioned above, I completely recommend you check this out, It's truly something hearing a young Chester Bennington over this almost jazz-rock fuck you instrumentation.

"Yeah getting rid of that, of course that was said before he moved on. It was a huge departure from his sound and definitely not hip-hop but his next release would show it was so much more."

"@Audiohype 6 years late on this response but I believe it was Trent Reznor who talking about it, and it did affect the exposure! At the time he (Trent) was a part of the Apple Music team so he would know, it did play a part then, probably not anymore!"
On Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Collision Course
"Hey hey, not quite, I don't think. Though Turnstile & BADBADNOTGOOD's EP "New Heart Designs" definitely had something there but less hip-hop and more Jazz fusion or HEALTH's "DISCO4 :: PART II" which definitely got there on certain tracks."

"Albums been out for less than a day and you're doing HTTT and The Bends like that?"
On Slauson Malone 1 - EXCELSIOR
"Maybe in production but vocally I think Slauson sounding like Dominic is as good as its going to get"
On Jooyoung - Be
"Agree 100% I think it has to do with their vocal performances both artists do the sing-talking thing in their verses, punctuate their songs with falsetto’s and love to stack manipulated vocals a top one another!"
On The Killers - Hot Fuss
"Yeah that’s the point, let me be less succinct, there was a very real push for indie rock to be the next great effector of sound, best seen/known with the Pitchfork-core tag. The reverse of this is that bands with more a traditional rock sound ended up being lampooned despite releasing their most noteworthy records in this time while let’s say in 2005 (when this DEBUT album came out) Franz Ferdinand, Animal Collective, modest mouse, Iron and wine, THE VERVE, feist all got glowing reviews in jarring contrast to this record. There was a deliberate and unnatural critic bombing for albums like this. Not to say that like The Funeral isn’t a wonderful record just that for this debut record to get spitroasted by critics was alarmingly disproportionate to other indie rock record receptions."
On NTTR's review of Moby - Resound NYC
"I’m about to listen to Moby again because of you, better not be lying about that 84!"
On starlessmoons's review of Coldplay - Ghost Stories
"That’s so cool orange and I don’t mean it in a sarcastic way! I never would have thought this album could mean so much to someone and I think it’s amazing that it does. Outside of “Magic” I reallly disliked this record but your review made me listen to the album alot more 👍🏽."
On Doofy's review of Jungstötter - One Star
"Had to double check multiple tracks to make sure Hayden Thorpe wasn’t featuring ^^"
On Jay-Z & Linkin Park - Collision Course
""In Search Of" by NERD? if yes then of course! And "The Grey Album" is the reason this record was made so definitely aware and consider those better records that preceded this album. My sentiment is towards the critical reception of this album despite how brilliant and influential it was: It's a record that was a HUGE gateway for hip-hop kids to listen to rock and for rock kids to listen to hip-hop far bigger than the records you mentioned but it isn't acknowledged as such. You really have to look no further than Numb/Encore to understand that."

On Chorde's review of Metro Boomin - HEROES & VILLAINS
"Ayy thanks for doing this again, think its such a cool idea.
Just some thoughts on the options: Vale-Smith dropped Re-Kindle it should definitely be a option for best AOTY community member album
and the Asian AOTY picks are really poor </3"
