Pinned Review
Lemme just say, the cover for this album is garbage, it looks like something ripped out of a bad 90s grade school science textbook.
But the music itself? Now this is some serious GOURMET shit, like I just had to listen to it one more time before reviewing it, it's so much better than I expected going into it.
For context, I haven't listened to any of Avenade's previous material before listening to this album, and in a way Vice Versa's sounds sort of reminds me of the blend of shoegaze and ... read more

I like this album cover more but man was I bored by the second half, felt way longer than it needed to be.
It's on Spotify now, this is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill
The original Pitchfork review for this is by far the worst pretentious music review I've ever read, hands down.
The writer for Pitchfork in this case is also the same guy who was absolutely jizzing over Kid A in another review just a year later (like I enjoy that album as well but calm down, you sound like you want to fuck the shit out of Thom Yorke and it's giving me secondhand embarrassment just reading it ).
What really rattled me is his comparison of The Fragile to Kiss's "Music For ... read more

Hello there! What is an album that you've given a 100 score, and why so?
Simple explanations are fine enough, but detailed reasoning is of course welcome. If you have multiple 100s, then just pick one of them as your answer. It's for a list by the way. Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

Hello, I hope you're having a good day. I am reaching out in regards to my next AOTY Icon Interview. If you're unfamiliar with the series I crowdsource for questions. This time around for January 2021 edition, I will be interviewing PipePanic. The question is, what is a music-related question you can ask Pipe. Please refrain from asking questions as simple as "What is your favorite album?" Please also refrain from asking for thoughts about a specific album or asking joke questions. I ask that you ask something thought-provoking and ambiguous. I will be selecting the best questions to ask Pipe. If you can't think of any questions, you have a week to think about it. I also recommend checking my shoutbox before asking the question just to verify it hasn't been asked already. All participants will be credited for their questions. The interview will be posted by the end of the month. Thank you!

2020 has been a huge roadblock, a year that a lot of people would want to forget. Filled with hardships and pain. As this year is coming to a close, I wanted to ask a question for a list. What song would you listen to, to end the year off entirely? It can either be a send-off song, or a song that you would listen to in high hopes for 2021. Hope I'm not bothering, and if you respond, thanks for the help!
