Mike Cooper - Black Flamingo
50

"Beneath These Waves" is a trap instrumental?!

TOOL - Fear Inoculum
10

Those last tree tracks should've been an EP =P

Ghetto Philharmonic - Hip-Hop Be-Bop
NR

Those snippets of the players' teacher (?) yelling at them (or is it at just one player?) are priceless!

Gorillaz - The Fall
90

Underappreciated

Kasabian - The Alchemist’s Euphoria
1

Those interludes saved this from me giving it a 0

Radiohead - Kid A
1

I liked only "Treefingers"

Radiohead - OK Computer
10

I liked only "Electioneering" and "No Surprises"

Einstürzende Neubauten - Lament
10

I like the sound of the first song and the idea behind the second one

Chaucerian Myth - The Canterbury Tales
90

One of the best and most important DS records

Poppy - Stagger
1

I like only "FYB"

Barbara Pravi - La Pieva
50

I was prepared for the "cursed sophomore record" disappointment

Serj Tankian - Bird's Eye
0

This sounds like some complete anonymous wrote the song and just invited the two most amazing male vocalists of our time to sing it, I don't know if that's the case

50

Only the second track is of sonic value, probably even objectively

Bogdan Raczynski - Samurai Math Beats
0

Not even the humor appealed to me, sadly

St. Vincent - All Born Screaming
90

Feels like a cover album of songs each by a different artist

E L U C I D - REVELATOR
90

I understand why many like this over everything by Armand Hammer, but their "We Buy Diabetic Strips" has to me more replay value and that's to me most important

Shed Theory - Nod Theory
NR

I'd rather have an MC like Ka on such production (wrote this not knowing that he had been dead for a week at that moment, but the sentiment stays that I'd rather hear some spoken-word-ish rap over plugg beats instead of that unintelligible mumbling)

The Blow - Everyday Examples of Humans Facing Straight Into the Blow
0

Beats me how people are keen to make such redundant music done better and worse by tons of singer-songwriters before them: mediocre singing of plain confessionalist texts over uninspired acoustic strumming

"What are better gamelan records, in your opinion? I am going through the most highly rated gamelan releases on RYM and this was one of them, but I'm always curious for more gamelan - it might be my favourite traditional music out there (not to mention that I based my artistic alter-ego on a fictitious person from Yogyakarta)"

On IreviewMerzbow's review of Merzbow - 抜刀隊 With Memorial Gadgets
"A huge difference between the 1986 version (which, apparently, still aren't the original recordings, but remixes by the label RRRec themselves) and the 1993 re-issue is the bonus disc "Loop Panic Limited". The original tracks were released in 2024 "with bonus songs from the same time" (https://kontaktaudio.bandcamp.com/album/batztoutai-with-memorial-gadgets)"
On malicious power's review of Merzbow - 抜刀隊 With Memorial Gadgets
