I wasn't really into the shift from the more melancholic and sometimes punk sound of their first album to a more cringe-worthy vibe, 100 Gecs pulls it off better - they're much more meta-ironic. There isn't that same level of humor here. Overall, it's still a solid album, but I'm not sure I can get into it.

It’s funny how the rise of hyperpop as a hype wave has drawn in artists from other genres, 100 gecs has truly inspired many, not only with their music but also with their vibe and lifestyle. In this case, what started as a talented artist has turned into a popular star. This album impresses with its great sound and a wealth of hits.

Joji’s back to churning out mediocre tracks - as usual, a couple of good ones, but the sound quality is still lacking. Is this guy really a Radiohead fan?

Has Joji finally stopped churning out dozens of tracks written in three minutes and released a decent album? Damn yeah!!!

Joji has gone down my least favorite path of churning out simplistic tracks, sure, there are a couple of hits here, but most of it is trash

Most of the tracks sound like they were written by a kid in elementary school who just opened FL Studio for the first time, but damn, "Demons" is sooo cool

For the most part, this is a fairly basic effort from a new artist, but with a couple of truly legendary tracks - the music videos for which make them even more memorable - and I have to admit that "Can't Get Over You" sounds surprisingly good in terms of sound design, especially compared to the other tracks

Let's be honest, this album sounds more like "2" than "White Tiger" or "Boy." It's much less experimental and more geared toward a dance club audience, but I have to admit that the sound design is incredibly cool - maybe even better than on their previous album.

2hollis decided to return to creating art rather than yet another endless four-on-the-floor track, and it’s truly an impressive work with incredibly cool sound design that’s sure to surprise. What’s more, the album is musically solid. It’s the best dance album I’ve heard, but actuality, it’s more than that

For me, this marks the point where 2hollis took a wrong turn, deciding to start making catchy, mainstream dance music instead of continuing to experiment with sound and create something new. Still, it’s a well-crafted album, and there are a couple of tracks that even caught my attention a little.

2hollis - White Tiger
78

This is a surprisingly interesting piece of work, it’s clear that this young artist is searching for his own style, and he’s managed to create a sound that’s both original and quite good. He’s already produced some amazing tracks, such as “King of Darkness” and “Safety.”

The band’s sixth album still possesses their signature technical skill and musicality, but not all the tracks are perfect, and while the album’s atmosphere is original, it’s a bit odd. The sound engineering isn’t top-notch either, though that’s not a major issue in this case, the album still features amazing tracks like “Self-Hacking” "Perfake Perfect."
Overall, this is still LTS, but with its ups and downs.

The band's fifth album is also incredibly good, with so many memorable tracks, there's nothing to complain about - it's almost perfect.

The band's third album has a unique sound and interesting musical techniques. It opens with "I Was Music" featuring cool transitions and a stunning chorus. The second track, "Secret" is probably my absolute favorite - it feels like the band reaches the peak of both musicality and technical skill at the same time. "A Symmetry" is very interestingly written, and "Illusion Is Mine" is a great song, especially in the lighter version they perform at ... read more

The most popular and highly rated album by LTS is indeed pretty good, but the tracks here don’t quite reach the same heights of technical skill and musicality as on their other albums. There’s also a track here "JPOP Xfile" which is probably the only track by the band that really gets on my nerves, but I also want to highlight the track "Tremolo+A" which has a very interesting sound for the band. I wouldn't say the album is overrated, rather, the band's ... read more

This is the debut album from an amazing band, while their style hasn’t quite reached its full potential here, it already features a number of incredible tracks. The album also has its own unique, captivating atmosphere, reflecting the spirit of this then-young band.

This album is a real pleasure to listen to and is probably the most musical of their albums, with high-quality and more intimate sound design, catchy choruses, and, as always, incredible technique - it’s one of my favorite albums

When we talk about LTS, it’s always a blend of incredible musicality and unattainable complexity, guitar technique honed to perfection, and a unique mixed voice that few can match - like Steelheart, for instance - but TK also boasts a stunning shift between registers and a solid false chord.

This is one of their best works, and for me, it has the most memorable tracks. I’d like to single out “Knife Vacation” - probably the best combination of their unique style and the ... read more

The album sounds like a full-fledged, high-quality release from the band, packed up with hits

Probably the first remix album that feels like a standalone work rather than just an add-on to the original - an impressive experiment
