ScHoolboy Q - BLUE LIPS
73

Bro just ate a whole damn smurf.

Well, I've been familiar with ScHoolboy Q's name for a while but I honestly haven't heard a full project from him until this very day, but hey, Collard Greens is a banger! (I'm a disgusting casual). Anyway, this has been a pretty solid listen. For some reason I wasn't expecting much but it's pretty compelling, even though I have my gripes.

This is Quincy Matthew Hanley's aka ScHoolboy Q 6th studio album. ScHoolboy Q has quite the name after six albums, but ... read more

Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks
87

That scene in Shutter Island>>>>>>>>>

Admittedly, before I really got into music I used to listen to a lot of musical scores from films. I loved to think about the films and digest them while listening to the music in those movies. Some of my favorite composers were Hans Zimmer who is responsible for the music in a bunch of Nolan films (the music in interstellar is peak), Ramin Djawadi and of course... our boy Max Richter. And obviously "On the Nature of ... read more

Black Country, New Road - For the first time
94

Isaac: "Cars are going beep beep beep"
Me: "He's such a lyrical genius OMFG!!"

Well, I'm obviously not alone in this but Black Country, New Road is probably my favorite band that emerged in the last five or so years, and maybe one of my favorite bands of all time. Ants From Up There was always the album I return to, but lately I found myself returning to this one as well and I genuinely forgot how damn AMAZING it is.

This is the band's debut, released in 2021. The group ... read more

Allie X - Girl With No Face
83

This weekend, we are wearing all black while putting a shit tone of eyeliner ladies and gentlemen.

I had no idea who Allie X is prior to this release, so obviously my stupid little brain convinced me that this thing is overrated before I even listened to it. Dear brain, you were wrong once again, because this shit is incredible. I seriously didn't know how much I needed a modern gothic synthpop album in my life, god damn.

This is Alexandra Ashley Hughes' aka Allie X third studio album. ... read more

MGMT - Loss of Life
74

I wanted to say something like "MGMT? More like MTNT because the album's a bomb", but not exactly.

I like MGMT, I think they make great pop music, and I was looking forward to seeing how they would sound when they return. The singles were rather promising for the most part, they generally made me even more excited towards the final project. And well, it's a good album. But is it on par with some of the best stuff I've heard from them? Nah.

So, This is the iconic rock band's 5th ... read more

Friko - Where we've been, Where we go from here
87

Best debut of the year already?

Well, I'm so fucking sorry, this album flew over my head completely. I wasn't aware of its existence until like two days ago. I saw the high user score, listened to some random song off it and immediately decided that it's overhyped. I didn't really LISTEN to it I suppose. However, yesterday I felt like I missed something, I felt the urge to give it a proper chance. And yup, it has been on repeat since then. This is easily one of the best projects of the year ... read more

Grouper - A I A : Alien Observer
92

The sound of isolation.

I've been aware of Liz Harris aka Grouper for quite some time now. I've heard some of her material and I was always intrigued by her elegant and minimalistic approach to ambient and honestly by her interesting artworks and album names (Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill??). I wanted to start with this album, and I was certainly not disappointed.

This is Liz Harris' 8th studio album, released in 2011. Liz has been active for a long time now actually. She released her ... read more

Yeat - 2093
82

Fuck it, best rage album since WLR

I don't care if the dude is doing an impression of Ryan Gosling from Blade runner 2049 on the cover, this album is just banger after banger. I wasn't expecting too much from it, because AftërLyfe was a really mixed bag for me, but god damn, he really blew my expectations out of the water, delivering one of the best rage projects I've heard in a long time.

This is Yeat's 4th studio album, after last year's AftërLyfe that received some incredibly ... read more

Quadeca - SCRAPYARD
83

These Quadiki torches are going to be sold out after this one (real ones know)

Quadeca probably needs no introduction, which is sort of crazy considering where he has been as an artist just a couple of years ago. His growth has been incredible to witness to say the very last, and that growth continues on this mixtape as well. A fantastic mixtape that contains some of his best tracks to date, and shows so much maturity.

After 2022's I Didn't Mean To Haunt You, which was an enormous success ... read more

Elliott Smith - XO
73

Hmmm...what happened here?

Elliot Smith is easily one of my favorite singer-songwriters of all time. I fell in love with him right when I heard Either/Or for the first time, and I probably love his self-titled even more. So needless to say that I went into this album with high expectations. And even though it's not close to being bad or even mediocre, I am a little disappointed.

This is Elliot's fourth studio album, released in 1998, a year after his most praised project, the fantastic ... read more

Carissa's Wierd - Songs About Leaving
93

One of the most emotionally crushing slowcore albums of the 2000's.

Ah fuck, this is a tough one. There are many albums where I find myself listening to a few songs from the record just to get a feeling on it, and then I don't touch it for a long time for some reason. But when I heard this album for the first time it pulled me in a way that not many albums are capable of. And understandably so, it's incredible.

This is Carissa's Wierd third and final studio album, released in 2002. The ... read more

57

Well, what's more interesting? Drake's shlonggy getting leaked or Kanye being an actual shlonggy irl?

Edit (72->59): So... I don't want it to look like I'm lowering my score only because more and more people are hating on this thing, but I did overrate it quite a bit on my first listen. Even though I basically said on almost every song that the mix is weird/chaotic/messy, I tried to give everything the benefit of the doubt. However, with more listens the whole project has grown off me, and ... read more

Little Simz - Drop 7
68

Thank god I'm listening to this instead of Kanye right now.

Live track by track review:

1. Mood Swings: Wow this track is a damn banger you guys don't understand shit, I've seen the low track rating and I thought it's gonna be ass. This is probably one of the most experimental tracks that Simz has released in a minute and I love it. The scattered beat is so intoxicating and infectious, and the eerie samples on top of it are perfect. I also love Simz' stripped back delivery on top of it, ... read more

J. Cole - 2014 Forest Hills Drive
67

making a song about happiness and freedom and then two songs later a track about boners is so J Cole.

I know it's not the hottest take ever or something like that, but I think J Cole is one of the most overrated rappers in modern rap music. Yeah, many people said it before me but here I am saying it as well, and I want to explain what are my personal issues with him as an artist and especially with this album.

This is J Cole's third studio album, released in 2014. Although he is not exactly ... read more

Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters
100

This sounds like what's going on inside my head, so issa 10/10.

I don't fucking know dude. I'm actually very picky with my 10's, only giving the perfect score to some of my favorite records of all time. But this stupid little thing is one of the most thrilling listening experiences I've had in an incredibly long time. I wasn't expecting too much from it but it blew me the fuck away, I can't deny it.

Lately sometimes I'm becoming a little numb towards music, and at times I'm just not as ... read more

Unwound - Repetition
91

I feel like kicking my kindergarten bully's nuts after listening to this.

I was actually really excited to give this album a listen for a pretty long time, considering that Leaves Turn Inside You is easily one of my favorite post rock albums ever. I was slightly afraid that it wouldn't meet my expectations, but honestly, it did, BIG TIME. It's genuinely one of the most grabbing noise rock albums I've heard from the 90's.

This is Unwound's fifth studio album, released in 1996, a year after ... read more

The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy
80

Oh, so the critics are drooling all over this shit for a reason.

This is my introduction to The Last Dinner Party. I honestly had no idea who they were until yesterday, when I saw a bunch of critics praising it like their life depends on it. It didn't really impress me until I saw that it's receiving a great user score too, so I thought I might as well check it out. And yeah, it's pretty great.

This is the British indie rock band's debut album. The title "industry plant" is ... read more

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
100

The musical equivalent for seeing god. A special review for 2k BASED FOLLOWERS!! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Hmmm... What do I even say at this point? I know it's kind of a cliche, but I never thought anyone would ever give a shit about my reviews when I got onto the site. Hell, at the beginning I only rated albums for fun, didn't even review them, and even when I started reviewing my English was pretty painful to watch, and the reviews weren't great to say the least. But something about writing ... read more

Bjรถrk - Debut
84

Review
(If you don't put any effort into the album name I'm not putting effort into my opening line Bjönk)

Björk obviously needs no introduction, being one of the most acclaimed and praised artists of all time, and one of my personal favorites. Her debut has been on my radar for a while, and even though I've listened to some songs off it I never heard it from front to back. After listening, this is not on par with her strongest work, but it's a great debut.

This is Björk's ... read more

Lyrical Lemonade - All Is Yellow
40

Even when DJ Khaled is disguised as a literal lemon he can't produce a decent album.

Oh man, I could've done so many other things with these 42 damn minutes, like...Sleeping, but I guess I wanted to listen to the most mid shit imaginable instated. I came into this expecting mediocrity, and this is what I got, and then some. I mean fuck, that was the biggest snoozefest of the year, at least the Cudi album was embarrassingly funny.

Well, this is Lyrical Lemonade's debut album, which is a ... read more
