Greg yelling is a new development but I can't deny the groove, jeff rosenstock in a sense.
At least I know Geordie greep was ironic with his sexual remarks but I truly believe anyone could write this, also I don't need excessive sexual references in my generic indie pop. I also really dislike the squeaking noise on pooltoy.
Would be a 90 but I can't help but find the remixes a bit lacking and not adding what I would want from clipping. Now actually getting into it we're met with plenty of clippings most dance-able tracks that fit well in a club environment. Wriggle has the classic eel sample found on many abstract hip-hop tracks and Daveed absolutely spitting. Shooter is made up completely of gun shots which goes crazy. Overall all of these tracks (except the remixes) go hard.

Where the album shines it's more hectic, but when it comes around to the over-processed singing vocals it turns into something that has been done time and time again. this is extremely disappointing considering their 2023 EP was a standout for me. The drums often sound like metalcore whilst the guitars lack distortion ,in my book, yet the riffs are still consistent for what the band had in their previous works. The energy is what gives this group it's main pull factor and they lose ... read more
If I had to choose from the lyrics equivalent to millennial Tumblr posts or the production that at some points makes me want to go deaf so then I never have to hear this again, I choose just simply going deaf. on the bright side some of the songs are a little more tolerable than what we got with the literal blue man group on ok orchestra.

great album if you have writers block and need material
Feels like a more intimate On Avery Island, I like it better because of this.
Most obnoxious thing I've ever heard.
a quaint little bossa nova track that feels like a bike ride down a South American coast or a warm hug from a grandparent. Smooth vocals from both Mei Simmons and John Roseboro accompanied by some smooth horns and jazz drumming, would reccomend.
the overall composition and production of this album are quite nice with sub-bass slathered all throughout and catchy rhythms making even the old folks home dance, yet one thing that this record doesn't seem to cover is the need for comprehensible lyrics. Overall there is a groove and a story (I think) yet it's still lacking in some areas. (75/100)
strong jazz cuts that would get my grandfather moving, yet overall the songs seem to blend together when not focusing purely on the album leading to undesired cuts.

On Dmitri's review of Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Face to Face)
"individual track scores add up to way more than 65, how did you come to this conclusion. If we add all of your track scores together (which add up to 777 ha) and divide by the amount of tracks we get 77.7 rounded up to 78. In what universe can track flow lower a score by 13 points?"
On dalis_car's review of Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85–92
"Talk about what you personally felt and how you experienced it instead of making 90% of your reviews talking about either structure or artists you think are better. In the end comparing completely separate artists will leave you disappointed in almost any situation."

"So can you explain how trout mask replica also doesn't have some of the same problems you've stated in this review. Plus you calling anything with pop in the tags just pop is kinda close-minded ngl."
On dalis_car's review of Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85–92
"Listening attentively to Aphex Twin is kind of crazy , how do you sit there and actively listen for change on an ambient record. Also i'd like some personal input from you, rather than your mindless music theory ramblings."
On dalis_car's review of Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Face to Face)
"So there's a few problems with this review. First of all it's not just flat pop and for that reason the songs don't have to commodify to your expectations. Next you only whine about timing when non-conventional music has always defied basic song structure. Finally you state Will Toledo lacks vocal range, but isn't that what gives a lot of vocalists their charm, being confined to their own voice and all. Listen it kinda seems like you can't tolerate anything that deviates from the norm and that's fine, but at least give the obvious praises this album deserves."

"tragic to say that I disagree with you on this one, to me it sounds more scattered than refined."
