Its good, but not nearly as good as The Money Store or Exmilitary.
No Love and Deep Web especially are so hard and doom-ish.
Stockton and Lock Your Doors are awesome as well but the rest is just good, nothing too crazy.
(A lot of people do perfect score purges, where they downrate albums they gave a 100/100 to, but what I'm doing right now is the reverse of that, imma be more charitable and give albums 100/100 that I originally didn't believe to be perfect.)
This was my first Dylan album, so essentially my introduction to what might be my favorite songwriter of all time, at least one of the top 3, and yeah, in my original review, I explained my complaints, and while these are still things that aren't gone, ... read more
Man, I gotta listen to more Dylan.
Awesome song- and lyric-writing.
I can't say much. Love his commentary on war and politics.
One of the best lyricists of all time.
It, indeed, was an incredible Jazz guitar played by Wes Montgomery.
Easily my favorite Jazz record.
So many interesting ideas and perfect execution.
EDIT: not anymore, but still an absolute favorite.

Yes, as you can see in my earlier reviews below this, my take on this album changed many times. Going from thinking it sounded good but was not really anything special in the grand scheme of great Jazz (88/100), to wanting to say "you know what, this ... read more
I really liked this.
Some great soundscapes and awesome minimalist ambient.
Sadly, there is just a little too less going on for me to give this a higher rating.
It was good, it just wasn't one of the best ambient works I've ever heard. Kinda boring tbh.
Visions of Bodies Being Burned is the sequel to my favorite album of 2019 and one of my favorite albums in general; There Existed an Addiction to Blood.
Is it a successful successor?
YES.
I think its not necessarily better than the first part, but its still an incredible listen.
This review might sound a little negative from now on, but please keep in mind that I still loved this album.
Part 2 has some very great songs on it. But sadly, it just feels like a lesser version of the ... read more
What happened to this beautiful singer?
I listened to his recent stuff and now he's become the most generic pop singer you could think of.
What happened to this heartbroken, sad, pretty good lyricist?
Sure, this isn't anything incredible but this album feels very personal and warm.
Its flawed but it is very beautiful. Good Guitar work!
Good Singing. Its all just good to great.
I really would have loved to see how this singer evolves, but sadly, it was into a bad direction in my opinion.
But ... read more
I have a hard time with kind of harder rock.
Songs like the Intro (Keep Your Eyes Peeled) or My God is the Sun leaves me completely emotionless.
I'm just sitting here thinking that it sounds cool but nothing really appealing to me. I like it, I can appreciate it, but I cannot really feel it. But on the Other hand, more melo and sad tracks like The Vampyre of Time and Memory, Fairweather Friends and Kalopsia are beautiful tunes that I really love. Idk why but my songs always need some ... read more
Holy Smokes. Holy...Strokes.
God, that was an awful pun.
I found out about The Strokes because of another artist I love, Car Seat Headrest.
I searched for similar bands online and I thought... hm... okay these bands are old. lol.
Anyway, I never considered The Strokes. They were just another "THE - Band."
And there were so many bands that I got recommended with a "The" at the start while looking for bands like Car Seat Headrest.
The Smiths, The Cure, The Killers, The Voidz, ... read more
Metros beats are incredible and Morgan Freeman is great and funny.
21 Savage is still the most boring rapper ever. Which is kind of the point but...-

Surprisingly, even though it has so many songs, most of the album is very good.
Joji's lyricism and production has improved massively since Ballads 1.
Even though songs like Yeah Right, Test Drive and Slow Dancing in the Dark are still all time favorite Joji songs of mine, technically this is a great step up.
Some songs fall flat or are genuinely not good, like Tick Tock, Daylight & High Hopes in my opinion but for that, songs like Run, Sanctuary, Afterthought, Normal People and Pretty Boy ... read more
Sufjan creates some beautiful and interesting electronic soundscapes here, and reveals some incredible highs and lows of lyricism.
Songs like Tell Me You Love me and America are beautiful and sound incredible, and Make Me an Offer I Cannot Refuse and The Ascension are incredible lyrically but the rest of most songs are kind of a bit forgettable. Some of them show great production and great lyrics but its hit or miss and a bit uninteresting. Still a good album.
This is my shit.
Whiney, sadboi folk.
Reminds me a lot of Mount Eerie and Daniel Johnston.
But Paul has way more straight-to-the-point and almost blatant lyrics.
Obviously no masterpiece but I just love how much I get to know Paul as a human just within a few minutes.
Im always more connected to an artist rather than the art the artist makes, so yeah, this is my shit.
Love Math Rock.
LP1 has got some beautiful melodies and chord progressions, some incredible lyricism and is sonically fantastic.
It has 1 or 2 songs that fall flat but other than that, amazing emo record.
The 100 might change after a relisten but right now it is what it is. this was my first experience ever with Post Rock and it changed me as a person, at least for a hour. It let me feel so many emotions. Listening to this, in the middle of the night, being extremely tired and extremely sick made me feel like I was on a journey through my own soul. It might sound pretentious but it is what it is.
I might have fallen asleep in between for a bit a few times, that was because I was so tired, not ... read more
Kid A is probably the Radiohead album I have the weirdest relationship with.
It was my very first listen of an Radiohead Album, probably like a Year ago.
I thought I liked it but I didn't get it.
Later, now, I am a massive Radiohead fan, having listened to every album of theirs.
I always kept this in my head as an album that I need to relisten to, because back then I didn't get it, but now I might.
Thats Why I didn't rate this thing. I couldn't really judge it based on my already almost ... read more
"I got my grandmama's hands, I start to cry when I see 'em
'Cause they remind me of seein' her"
I just lost my grandma. Needless to say, this hits much deeper than before.
