SamuraiBird - Blue Arcade
56

Pretty alright album,i really liked some of the songs like Tron or Pac-Man but some of the songs like Galaga really drag it back,those reverse vocals are unnecessary and are just distracting,and this links to one of my bigger issues with SamuraiBird’s music,he keeps adding unecessary things in the background which make an overall worse listening experience,on the other hand i do like his use of samples(especially in Pac-Man) and how the sample actually goes with the rhythm of the ... read more

NxPast - NxFuture
NR

So after i saw MothaOfMotha12’s review i decided to check this out and well,it’s like this kid watched one of those “How to be a mumble rapper” parody videos and decided to make an EP,i’m not gonna bash this kid because i think we all did this sort of stuff when we were younger,but damn this EP was pretty bad,im still not sure if this ironic or not but seeing how most other reviews take him seriously im pretty sure this isn’t a meme album.Anyway,i would be ... read more

SamuraiBird - dance dance revolution
NR

An improvement,almost all the issues i had with SamuraiBird’s previous single “Donkey Kong” are absent here,but as KnifeTrick said this feels more like an interlude than a single

SamuraiBird - Pink Arcade

Good concept,mediocre music

Oreox4 - Halloween Came Early II
64

Oreox4 is a pretty well known figure in the AOTY community,with him recently reaching 100 followers he sure has made quite a name for himself here,and while i dont agree with most of his opinions(mostly his Merzbow ratings lol) i did enjoy this album.
These beats are pretty nice.nothing too complex but they are way better than anything i can produce *cough*https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/172778-alterwin-alterwin.php*cough*
I do have to say that throughout this album it was quite hard to ... read more

Danny Brown - uknowhatimsayin¿
89

Before getting into the review,i just wanted to say this is the first time ive ever fully heard a Danny Brown record,i tried getting into his music a while ago with little success,but after listening to this album i can totally say im a fan of it.First off,the production is amazing and it goes well with Danny's voice,all the producers did an amazing job and the end result is fantastic.Danny has some really great verses and some nice punchlines and as a whole this is a great project even tho it ... read more

Gotta - You Dropped A Bomb on Me
NR

This has to be one of my favourite Electronic songs of the 2000s,this was originally a song made by a band named the “Gap Band”,who released the original song in 1982,i found this record in a thrift store that sells stuff from other countries like France or Germany,at first i didn’t much of it,i actually threw it out of my main collection since i wanted my vinyl collection to consist of albums ive heard and liked,well,i actually took a listen to it and was blown away,this has ... read more

Lil Yachty - Lil Boat
69

Lil Yacthy’s debut mixtape was a somewhat enjoyable listen,it’s really charming in a way but throughout some of these it just feels very awkward in a way(?) it honestly sounds really badly mixed in some parts but maybe that adds to the charm.While i don’t think this is great,it has some good songs and the overall aesthetic of the mixtape is pretty cool.

Fav Tracks:Minnesota,One Night

Worst Tracks:Intro,Fucked Over

Various Artists - McDonald’s Scary Sound Effects
56

Oh boy,where do i start?I was browsing on Rym and i stumbled upon an album named “McDonald’s Scary Sound Effects” i was obviously expecting it to be some sort of parody album,especially since both of the songs on it had the same name (and repeated titles are a bit of a trend between parody or ironic albums),anyways i see it was released in 1995,so it actually seems legit.After a bit of searching,i find it on YouTube,for our hearing pleasure.
Looking in the comments,i see this ... read more

James Ferraro - Hacker Track
71

Honestly,an amazing album even tho barely any of it is listenable,its an experience and an album like ive never heard before,when you start this album,you may think this is the typical 2009 hypnagogic pop Ferraro was known for,but it isnt.This barely has any sort of melody,its a bunch of strung together sounds that form this sort of post lo-fi disaster,it sort of amazes me how he released this way back in 2009,while most of the internet only got around to these sort of “jokes” only ... read more

Suicide - Alan Vega · Martin Rev
73

Suicide is a band ive havent heard much from,i listened to their first Self Titled album released in 1977 and was shocked by the strange vocals mixed with the simplistic synth punk instrumentals,it was truly something i havent heard until that point,my favourite song from that album,”Frankie Teardrop” is truly one of the greatest songs ever made,and then the genius of that album hit me,it isnt a synth punk album,its a psychological horror album.
So after making such an album,in what ... read more

Melanie Martinez - K-12
36

Melanie Martinez is an artist i havent looked into prior to listening to this album,i knew she had a pretty large fanbase and that a lot of people liked her but i never got around to listen to her.But outside of the usual people that just liked her music there was also a majority that thought she is one of the best pop artists out right now and that she was something new outside of the “generic pop artists” because,y’know,”mOdeRn pOp bAd”,but after listening to ... read more
