Bringing back the 70s with this one. It has energy, riffs, massive drums, and many lyrics about women

This was a fun album! Quite a big range here, too. From some calmer and andante indie pop to even leaning towards punk, this album does take you on a journey. However, this didn't blow me away. The guitars in the verses tended to utilise open chords and standard picking patterns with a chorus effect, which is quite frankly overused by artists at this point, and there wasn't much in this LP that was musically interesting for me. The songs were well written and all, but there's ... read more

This was delightful. All 3 songs were immaculately beautiful in their own ways. I must say that I could hear the distorted guitars almost clipping or something, especially in Hazel but the track is still beautiful nonetheless 😭

As with many people who have listened to this album, I heard Dumb Summer and was immediately intrigued. However, the rest of the album doesn't follow that Hum-inspired shoegazey sound and had a huge nu-metal theme with a few tracks being reminiscent of Deftones (who were inspired by Hum). I don't have much to say about this to be honest; it defied my expectations but not positively. It's fine but I think I would've appreciated it more if I knew what I was getting myself into.

This is a decent rock album! It really sounds like the 90s; that thick guitar tone (produced by the GOAT, Brendan O'Brien) makes for some disgusting riffs, such as the opening and title track, Dogman. A lot of the songs on here just have such an infectious vibe and, although it's kinda dad-rock-esque, it doesn't fail to hit you every time. I absolutely love the vocal harmonies, they add so much to what otherwise could be a standard rock album. Every time I hear the opening of ... read more

Being the second review, I'm just gonna echo what the other guy said: They're literally just trying to be Nirvana so badly. There's nothing interesting or original happening in this. However, from Lard Baby, there was some development; I can definitely hear some Deftones and Turnstile inspiration in a couple of the songs. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to class this as grungeslop because it just sounds like a million bands that came before them. We need a more developed ... read more

This album is the perfect bridge between Shed and Hyperview - it incorporates shoegaze elements into their previous post-hardcore sound, creating a captivating sound that hooks me in instantly whenever any of the songs come on.

The guitar work on this is simple yet effective; the riffs are so fun to listen to and even more fun to play. Furthermore, the drum parts are extremely fun to play too, and the sound of the whole kit has always stood out to me - it's so polished yet the raw nature ... read more

Initially, this album intrigued me. It opened with this hazy shoegaze-inspired intro before blasting into this pop-punk/emo and indie rock fusion. The emo influences are subtly present in every track, with Phoneboy adding their own indie pop and indie rock twist onto it all.

Unfortunately, the majority of the songs just become formulaic and don't interest me anymore; they just become standard pop songs. Occasionally, a song like OMG would pull out something I didn't expect, such as a ... read more

When @Ajrexb2611 played this at someone's house, it reminded me that he recommended it to me but I hadn't listened to it yet, so here it is!

What an experience. The Dismemberment Plan refuse to fall into conventional indie rock with their blend of samples, occasional odd time signatures, and unexpected chord progressions keeping you on edge as you listen; you expect one thing to happen but you receive another, which just sends shivers down my spine every time.

Sonically, ... read more

This is an extremely well written album with the signature 'Elliott Smith' style still being quite prominent. However, I thought it was really strange to have songs like Amity and A Question Mark in Elliott's discography, especially when an album like this has mesmerising and beautiful songs throughout. The more rocky songs on this really break up the album in awkward places, but the compositions of each track are nothing short of special.

These songs are so catchy and I love how the structure can be so unpredictable sometimes. The rhythms, the solos, the screams, the clean vocals, it's a great cocktail

I get the glaze now

It's just an absolute classic, isn't it? So influential on so many fronts it's insane.

It's just rushed and these lads are jumping into it too quickly. Most songs have one or, if you're lucky, two sections with no distinct melody; they need to spend more time on the actual songwriting. Again, this has clearly been recorded on a phone but they've turned down the drums a bit and I could actually hear the bass this time (if I listened hard enough). However, the vocals are still way too quiet and need to be brought up A LOT. The vocals are just a lot of screaming too ... read more

She space on my hog til my resident alien

I really like this album and it's definitely one I'll revisit in the future. They manage to sound like the 70s, 80s, and 90s all at the same time. Some songs sound like Bowie and The Velvet Underground, some sound like Pixies, and some have that crunchy/chuggy 90s distortion. It's nothing unique but it's special to me. Of course In The Meantime stands out to everyone but some songs on here are really overlooked. It's a great ... read more

Tears down my leg

When's the Daredevil album coming?

In all seriousness, though, the production on this was great and I really enjoyed the experimentation with different sounds throughout the whole album. Some of these compositions really caught me by surprise and it was a lovely surprise at that.

Phoebe Bridgers was herself was amazing on this album. The multi-tracked vocals were beautiful and the melodies were satisfying. However, I'll be completely honest about the lyrics. I didn't really ... read more

I was always aware of Alisa from my dad and I even listened to Блок Ада which was pretty good but this was on another level in comparison to that album. This is very hypocritical of me giving a live album a high score but my dad put this on and it was just banger after banger.

The bassline on Still Life plays in my head on repeat
