Radiohead - OK Computer
0

Ah, yes, "OK Computer" is hailed as Radiohead's so-called magnum opus, but seriously, is it even art? Thom Yorke tries to add some depth to the tracks, but he just ends up with lyrics that sound like he's itching for a fight with Gen Z or something. The only redeeming quality is that "No Surprises" popped up on TikTok, so I guess that’s something. But honestly, Radiohead will never impress me; it feels like they put zero effort into this. It's just ... read more

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
20

Oh, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars—what an absolute treat! Because, you know, who doesn't want to dive into a concept album about a rock star from outer space with a name that sounds like it was dreamt up during a particularly uninspired game of Dungeons & Dragons? David Bowie, clearly ahead of his time, decided to make an entire album about an intergalactic rock messiah. Because nothing says "timeless classic" quite like a flamboyant ... read more

Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D
0

What a dazzling piece of art—if you're really into sugary-sweet, hyperpop explosions with all the subtlety of a Disney musical on a sugar high. I mean, who doesn't love being bombarded with blindingly bright synths and over-the-top cheerful melodies? It's like a nonstop parade of neon lights and rainbows, just in case you weren't already on the verge of a cavity from all the saccharine goodness.

The whole album feels like it was crafted specifically for a crowd that ... read more

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

The music here may be good, but I feel like the songs were too long. I ended up relistening to the album on 2X speed. I was so happy when it ended so I could listen to songs with actually substance. Jeez.

Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
100

In "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)," Eminem, the rap god, delivers a lyrical clinic that eviscerates Generation Z with the finesse of a seasoned artist who has seen it all. As someone who thrives in the digital space, I must say, this track is a chef's kiss to the art of trolling. It's as if Eminem took a magnifying glass to the fragile egos of Gen Z and burned them to a crisp under the scorching light of his unrelenting bars.

Eminem's wordplay and ... read more

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
0

Oh, "To Pimp a Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar, the album that everyone and their dog raves about. How original! This masterpiece supposedly tackles deep themes like race, culture, and personal growth. Yawn. It's like Kendrick thought, "Hey, let me cram every social issue into one album and pretend it's profound."

Let's talk about the beats. Or should I say, the lack thereof? It's as if Kendrick raided a thrift store for old jazz records and thought, ... read more

Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me
0

Ah, "Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me," where do I even begin? What a thrill ride! If by "thrill ride," you mean a slow, somber, and utterly joyless experience. I mean, who doesn't love an album that's basically a relentless wall of grief and sadness? It's like a musical black hole sucking out any hint of joy you might have had left in your life. Perfect for a Friday night if you want to spiral into an existential crisis!

Phil Elverum really went all out ... read more

me&me - Playdough Cooked in Tea
100

"Playdough Cooked in Tea," the most popular release from Me&Me, is an evocative and deeply unsettling exploration of grief and existential contemplation. Drawing inspiration from the stark and raw narrative style of Mount Eerie's "A Crow Looked at Me," this album presents a dark satire that skillfully navigates the delicate balance between humor and sorrow.

On Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me
"@Mellesteen Ah, yes, because clearly the point of music is to be as relentlessly bleak and emotionally draining as possible. Silly me! How could I not appreciate the sheer brilliance of turning life's deepest sorrows into a 40-minute sonic therapy session? Next time I'll be sure to bring tissues and a therapist's couch to fully "get it." Thanks for the enlightenment!"
