Nothing but fucking banger after banger, the best introduction to sludge metal i could think of, doom metal too if you want to throw it under there, absolutely amazing album, incredible vocals, always a patch i'll have on my battle jacket, absolutely peak for 2001 as well
Honestly could be better, i feel like Kendrick didn't even want to drop this album, evidenced by that tweet, and it feels like he didn't give as much as he could on this. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a lot of this album, but so much of it sounds like he was holding back, and I'm gonna need him to go all out again.
Truly superb, they brought back their 80's selves, it really feels like it was released like immediately after Disintegration, as if I were to have heard some of these songs on the album. "I Can Never Say Goodbye" especially, that one is a true 10/10 track, it was extremely beautiful, and radiated an indescribable feeling. I think it's probably the third best Cure album tbh, if I were to rank them it'd be
Disintegration
Pornography
and then Songs of a Lost World
The drone to pink floyd-esque riff and atmosphere switch is one that needs to be studied in the labs.
Pretty damn good, it's a shame it's not on spotify..
I sat through the entire hour and four minutes of this album, it was not worth staying after the third song..
The first three songs are pretty good, the first one is amazing, but after that there's not a whole lot going on with the album, kinda like varg's creativitiy kinda just, left. I waited through the entirety of track 5, and jesus, after it hit the 8 minute mark, IT STAYED THE SAME FOR THE NEXT 17 MINTUES...
Eitherway, Dunkelheit and Jesus' Tod are really good, would ... read more
This voidgaze stuff is like a drug, i can't get enough, i need MORE RN!!!
Possibly one of the greatest metal albums I've ever listened to, there's no skips and even though the songs are on the longer side, the whole album seemed so short, an amazing record, highly worth the listen, in fact I wish it was longer, this was a banger.
A lot of sluggish moments, where a lot of the album bleeds together, but Spiritual Cramp & Romeo's Distress are bangers, if Deathwish was actually put onto the album it'd probably be an 80 or an 85, but sadly it's not so. A staple of Deathrock and goth culture for sure.
The Great Goth Deep Dive, part 1 of idek..
The album opens on a hauntingly beautiful opening track that goes perfectly into the next song, snapping you out of whatever trance you were in, as if someone just pulled you back into the real world while dancing at the goth club. Unfortunately, it doesn't keep that high, and instead brings you back down.
I know a common criticism of music that's called goth is that it's "boring" and repetitive, but this album unfortunately does that exact ... read more
1. 80, solid opener,
2. 75, really beautiful imo, I can tell it probably isn't for everyone, but for me, it's pretty good
3. 100, this is a song you bump in the car, feels like you'd be outrunning the cops on the highway while arguing with your best friend
4. 70, The riff is definitely something, imagine if Korn's Blind had a baby with pretty much any Sublime song.
5. 90, This track got my head bumping immediately, then the lyrics came on, probably one of my favorites off of the album.
6. 60, ... read more
My only bad experience with this album was whenever I bought it an original '73 pressing which had a scratch on it that I didn't know about, and whenever I had put it on during a trip on shrooms, it kept looping during one of the songs and it caused probably my worst trip because it was just the woman singing the same 3 notes over and over again.
the entire album is a masterpiece, belongs in the louvre if the louvre displayed albums.
no way it's the death grips song!!11!11!11!
i'll review this at some point dw
Quite possibly one of the greatest albums I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. The entire album is a ride that doesn't stop, making you think, feel, and gets you into an unforgettable mood mixed with rage, sadness, and some secret third thing I can't put my finger on. Relatable lyrics, highlighting important social issues, fire features, amazing beats, not long at all, this album has it all. Can't wait to see what Denzel does next, this could very well be his Magnum Opus.
Pretty solid release, some enjoyable moments but it's got the unfortunate addition of Rick Ross on the track listing. ULT is not the greatest opener, I prefer Gook heavilly, and If Tomorrow's Not Here is an amazing closer. The album is definitely super strong, with a lot of good songs, but it's marked with some forgettable tracks.
pretty good album
