wtf just happened to my ears

Ok, it’s finally time to talk about Blurryface. This project launched Twenty One Pilots onto the world stage, something that most indie bands can only dream about. This is by far their most-streamed album to date, and it’s not really close. By this time, in 2015, it was nearly impossible to ignore them. This would be the beginning of my Twenty One Pilots journey, and as a result, this album holds a special place for me. This is the first time I would actually listen to an LP from ... read more

Oh no…..
😭

Their third album, “Vessel”, would be the band's breakout album and send Twenty One Pilots from the underground into the mainstream. For a lot of fans, this was their first time hearing a Twenty One Pilots album, and it holds a lot of nostalgia for many people. At this point, my younger self hadn't yet been exposed to any of Twenty One Pilots' music, so I wouldn’t listen to this album until a few years later. But even though I was a little late to the party for ... read more

Regional at Best, is the second official release from Twenty One Pilots. With the addition of new member Josh Dun. A new version of the band is born, resulting in this very strange release. It’s not even on streaming platforms so I had to go on a little journey on the internet to find some of these.
This album actually doesn’t start out too bad. A lot of the earlier tracks on the album are just worse versions of songs they would put on their next record. Guns for Hands, Ode to ... read more

Twenty One Pilots is one of my favorite bands. I’ve been listening to them since the ripe age of nine, and as a result, they hold so much nostalgia for me. I’ve been in the mood to start writing some more reviews. So, I figured making my way through their discography would be a fun path down memory lane.
Twenty One Pilots released their debut record on my third birthday, December 29th, 2009. However, I wouldn’t listen to this album for the first time until this past fall. ... read more

TOMORA weren't afraid to take risks, allowing both artists to reach a new level of artistry.

This album makes me get high

Ah yes, the most iconic album of all time. Arguably the most recognizable band of all time. But, is this album worthy of all the praise? The short and simple answer is yes, it absolutely is. While I do agree that some of The Beatles work is overhyped, in no way does that apply to this record. For starters, the production and sound quality of this thing is undeniable. For being over 50 years old the guitar and drum work is rather impressive. The album is packed with diverse highlights that keep ... read more

Dookie is my true introduction to Green Day. Obviously, I've heard of the band, and I know what they sound like. But I went into this project with an open mind, and honestly, it is either going to be a grower or just not for me. Firstly, I really like the guitars on this album; they sound pretty good. The writing isn't too bad, and the drums are alright. My issues with the album begin with the singing. I'm just not a fan of his voice and bland delivery. But again, that could ... read more

This doesn’t really make sense to me. Cause I shouldn’t like this, but for some reason it just seems to click for me. It’s fragmented and at times feels like the songs are just straight up corrupted. They are wonky, yet spacey and psychedelic. There are glimpses of actual rapping and hooks. There is something odd and mysteriously beautiful about this batch of songs. The only true skip for me is Grapefruit. While the instrumental is heavenly and the verses are decent, the hook ... read more

So, let's just make a compilation of some of the greatest beats of all time.

Despite all the hype surrounding this release and the fact that it took nearly eight years to finally come out, this album is pretty mid. There are a few tracks I liked here and there, but the overall quality of the tracks leaves a lot to be desired. A few of these songs don't even sound properly mixed or fully completed. For the most part, this album comes across as lazy, and while it does try to experiment with various genres, this feels more like a gimmick because again, the quality to ... read more

On their third full-length LP, Dry Cleaning still sound like they're in the midst of perfecting their sound. The indie rock and punky instrumentals are usually decent. Production-wise, I don’t really have many gripes with this LP apart from a few stale cuts. The spoken word/monotone delivery is kind of hit or miss for me as well. At times, it’s effective at making the listener feel uneasy and almost uncomfortable. The other half sounds bored and depressed. Collectively, while ... read more

Ironically, "BEFORE I FORGET" is one of the most forgettable albums I've ever heard. It's not the worst and ear-pain-inducing thing ever. On the contrary, this album is very listenable, which is basically its only real selling point. After the first three songs, you've heard the entire album. Most, if not all, of these songs were born out of his breakup with Tate McRae, and while heartbreak albums can be relatable and introspective, that is not really what this LP ... read more

I think "Balloonerism" is one of the most overlooked albums that came out last year. It's somewhat crazy that this posthumous release has its first anniversary in a few weeks; time flies when your life is busy and chaotic, I suppose. It’s actually unheard of for a posthumous record to be high enough quality to actually compete with the artist's releases while he was still alive. Especially if that album comes out nearly seven years after their death. This album breaks ... read more

After enjoying their 2024 record "Only God Was Above Us", I decided to check out some of Vampire Weekend's past work, and this seemed like a good place to start. "Modern Vampires of the City" is a wonderfully produced and fascinatingly written project, with only a few missteps in my opinion.
The album gets off to a fantastic start with plenty of its major highlights showing up in the first half. The tune of "Step" is still stuck in my head as we speak, and ... read more

This album feels more like just a compilation of demos than an actual cohesive body of work. This is my first time listening to a bbno$ album in full, and though it does get kind of repetitive, I understand why people enjoy this. The interesting fusion of pop rap and house/dance music has some great vibes and energy. This album definitely has its highlights, but there are way too many mid songs and cringey bars.
