Björk 2/?
I kinda forgot I wanted to revisit her so I’m DOING IT NOW !! I love Björk and have always really loved her work. The only two albums of hers I haven’t listened to (minus the new one) have been these two early albums. I even listened to KUKL and the Sugarcubes (and loved both). This album is probably her worst. It’s good that her worst is still solid, but besides from her just showing off her insane vocal prowess and capabilities, it’s a really ... read more
Bob Dylan 12/?
It’s a pretty soundtrack album… but tbh… I’m not a big soundtrack guy at all. I’m not saying all are bad, but they just mainly aren’t my thing. This falls into that. While there isn’t anything I hated, it could come off as kind of toothless and repetitive.
I think some people are a bit too harsh on this. This is like REALLLLLY amateur soundcloud rap, so I think judging it that harshly and on studio pretenses is unfair. Overall, it was indeed a really messy listen and ultimately it was not a great project.
I think the basics of sound engineering and mixing could have been explored more, mostly with the microphone which is often left unattended and creates a type of static which manages to overpower the instrumental. The recordings would have been ... read more
I wasn't really in love with it. The production for the most part was REALLY brutal, and the hi-ends often clipped out with a muddy ass vocal mix on Dave Grohl. Just a very compressed album in general. I respect the noisier direction they went in on alot of these tracks and it sounds like such a "real" album. I can feel the pain in each of the songs, even if their structures mostly conform to convention. A great showing from the Foo Fighters for sure, and it deserves all the hype. ... read more
I haven’t heard anything as bad as this in a long time. This album’s very existence is an insult to music. I am offended (I’m playing it up a bit dw) and I am not even an A7X fan. If I waited for this album six years and THIS is what I got, I would have seriously considered my life choices. Some might say this is avant-garde or experimental, but tbh, this is just shit. The lowest denominator of shit. It’s shit that likes to parade itself as real different and innovative ... read more
If I’m not mistaken, this is the largest point differential I’ve ever given. Currently, this EP stands at a 13/100. Yes, a literal low 1/10. My score is FUCKING insane I know. I first discovered the song “SHAKE SUMN” on tiktok (a sentence I never uttered in my life before but hear me out) and I was shocked because it sounded like… shit? So I checked the EP out and yeah wow it sounded like hot ass. Then, why the score? Because as a piece of pop rap this is ... read more
I was never really a Deadhead because they have SUCH a cultivated following and while I get it I could never personally love them although I certainly dig their sound. However, this concert is the embodiment of the Grateful Dead experience. It sounds very refined and cleaned, Jerry has such a crystal clear voice, and overall it just sounds like a legendary set. Some cool little moments that really stuck with me was the MASTERFUL and almost ethereal guitar solo at the end of China Cat Sunflower ... read more
It’s pop rap with experimental tendencies. I found redveil to be a bright spot on Danny Brown and Peggy’s otherwise pretty shitty SCARING THE HOES, so I was excited to hear this project and it didn’t disappoint too much. I think sometimes production wise redveil has the tendency to just throw shit on a wall until it sticks but most of it did stick… good if not overkill
It’s a generally good technical death metal album with good screaming reminiscent of other German bands like early Atrocity or even just someone like Chuck from Death, but production can be a pretty big issue especially around the drums which can sound suffocated and shrouded.
I’m not at all a k-pop guy. I used to hate it but that’s when I was extremely close minded about music and just jumped on twitter trends. This album is alright. It’s actually quite decent, I found the instrumentals pretty fine, and they all have quite unique voices. With that said, is this genre still my thing? Nah. It’s okay to me, but I can understand the merit.
I’m really disappointed I didn’t like this one, but yeah, it’s not good. It’s not even just “not good”, it’s right on the border of being bad. It lacks a depth albums in this genre should have; meaning, there’s very little variety here. Yeah his voice is cool…? And? It’s not really enough to build an album off of, especially with such minimalistic and bare boned instrumentals. I listened to this because of its acclaim and also to ... read more
This album is too mediocre for such a talented band. For me going through the top 10 albums per year, a score being this low is not great.
Bob Dylan 11/?
Honestly, for an album which is so beloved by much of the fanbase, this kinda disappointed me. This was my first Dylan record I rated in the yellow, and judging by the rest of his discography, it won’t be the last. I hate that he relied so much on safe country stereotypes. It was a fairly pretty album but yeah I was disappointed.
Vocals are really overdone, to the point where the music can get fairly grating, but on its own it's an okay hip hop album. I noticed that at alot of points Døøf maybe could've fiddled a bit more with whatever mic settings he had because his recording would often compress which is just an issue with volume mostly. At the very least it's definitely listenable. The instrumentals are alright too.
Surprisingly fantastic. Obviously it would be great but I didn't expect it to be THIS damn good. One of the greatest jazz albums of all time, definitely within the top 10.
I would be lying if I said I always fw’d this thing. Sometimes the glitchiness could be to its detriment, but it’s a nice little piece of avant-techno that is enamoring.
Literally it’s so bland and boring it’s not even a fun bad listen. There’s a few mid tracks at best but this is very much just radio trash. I’m not tryna say that all modern pop is bad but this is the embodiment of half assed mainstream pop.
Bob Dylan 10/?
For the longest time, Self Portrait was considered one of the worst albums of all time. Not just bad, so horrible it was one of the worsts… of all time. Now do I see why people thought this? Yes. This is legitimately a fairly ugly listen. As it is so bloated with songs there are some that are downright bad. I can’t recall off the top of my head but prior to this I didn’t think Dylan had any songs I disliked, so dude *really* had to try with this one, which ... read more
