MJ was right. they don't care about us. they don't think we're dumb OR powerless, they think we're dumb AND powerless.
UK band Maruja's 'Pain to Power' is a protest. Governments all over the world attempt to turn men into machine, and when they realize they cannot, they begin to use real machines such as AI, as weapons and also as means to boost their economy tenfold.
'Pain to Power' is as hopeless as humanity feels now. Dictators all over the world Look Down On Us and promote Bloodsport between us, so that they may build selfless psychopaths who serve them faithfully with no ... read more
'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' is ultimately chaotic and messy, but for upcoming superstars KATSEYE it certainly does them justice, expanding on ideas of feminine empowerment over possessive menchildren who act like everything's a game. A gnarly EP for a gnarly upcoming global girl group.
Ms. Lauryn Hill's miseducation's soulful performances make for 1 hour and 17 minutes that take you To Zion and back, having some of the most enchanting soundscapes of Hip Hop and Soul history, and is a total vibe in the form of a collection of classic East Coast Hip Hop tracks that would inspire and motivate generations to come.
The depth in the lyricism and the skits in the end of tracks throughout the whole album just accompany so greatly the wonderful basslines and truly lovely ... read more
An album that encapsulates rather well young Iggy's Lust for Life, in an energetic, careless and frenzied manner. A timeless classic by all means, reiterating Iggy's influence all throughout the many genres of Rock. This album is also so Bowie, I love that.
Despite being 20 years old, 'American Idiot' feels as fresh as ever.
Picture this: you're an American teenager during the Bush administration, who finds political propaganda being shoved at his face from every angle, subliminally or blatantly. Right at the beginning of his administration, you witness arguably the most gruesome event you'll ever hear about, which gives way to wage war upon Afghanistan, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, a couple of years later upon Iraq too—all ... read more
'The Black Parade' is no less than one huge performance by the friends and family of an unfulfilled cancer patient, as they receive the news of his impending doom.
The protagonist hates himself as much as the ones around him, which ultimately culminates in the formation of a malignant tumor, leading to the same's eventual demise. During the time where he's hospitalized, counting down his days, he laughs himself to sleep every night at the thought of his lack of ... read more
can she stop talking about sex i'm tired
I liked 'Short n' Sweet'. I did not like this. it's not necessarily bad, but it's so devoid of emotion and substance—because it's quite literally a product pushed by her label who attempts to capitalize on her fame—that it doesn't really give you the pleasure an album should, despite talking about other kinds of pleasure so frequently.
Ethel's lost, she doesn't know what to do when she finds herself reflective of her High School lover, Willoughby. She knows she must move on, but she can't help it—he was her first love, she can't be blamed for such grief. She finds herself slowly falling, or even trapped in her own mind, full of corroding thoughts reminiscent of a time long-gone. It's become a routine for her: wake up, grieve, cry, go back to sleep.
Eventually, she's full of it; she forces ... read more
'God Does Like Ugly' in general is such a fun album, managing to captivate the sentiment of JID after 'The Forever Story', while not failing to be respectful to his roots and meaningfully dense in lyricism.
I missed you Chino don't leave me ever again
'private music' is intoxicating, energetic, ecstatic and manipulating; it attracts you with displacency and eventually takes control over you through means of its viper-like poison in the form of an Alt Metal, Shoegaze and Post-Metal mix. This is a substance to be used moderately and kept in private, as overexposure to the same will cause no less than cerebral death.
All in all, this LP is clearly proud to be called a Deftones ... read more
Deftones' first single for their new LP 'private music' is exactly what you would've expected from the band's return.
'The Bends' presents a sample to the listener of what's to come in the future of Radiohead, and settles them into the music industry as one of the best upcoming bands ever, praise they would deserve all the more in years to come. The album is melancholic, sad, feels like a deep breath for the most part; but don't frown in believing that there aren't headbangers in this classic tracklist, because there most certainly are.
I'm gonna be honest, I have not listened to 'Alfredo' whatsoever before this, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Right off the bat you're able to notice the obvious japanese inspiration for these calm, almost lo-fi sounding beats, plenty of which put you in some sort of trance and really just allow you to vibe along to them. Freddie Gibbs' sharp rhyme schemes also complement the melodic beats so incredibly well, and the features do well on that same line. it's ... read more
