Midori flew higher than the sun so that one day BABYMETAL could walk.
Reading other reviews, I feel like I made a big mistake listening to this album along with spotify lyrics. My biggest problems with this album was that a lot of the songs subjects just didn't connect with me (Weird Fishes being a big exception). But anyway, spotify lyrics are awful, very inaccurate. Jigsaw Falling Into Place had "As your blather disappears" instead of "... Bad days...", which left me screeching my head, but hey, this is the guy writing masterpieces about ... read more

This sounds exactly like a pack of talented adolescents with great influences and great skill, but with not a lot of good ideas. Like they are writing songs for the first time ever (specially with the lyrics... oh god the lyrics).
The Beatles-esque Bad Day is particularly terrible, and the biggest offender in the album for me. This album is full of Beatles-esque moments btw. Some are nice, others not so much.
There's also some recycled ideas from within the album too, which can ... read more
It's crazy how she evolved from her last album to this. This is a goddamn masterpiece. Getting Older is a perfect sophomore album opener with it's themes and sound. Male Fantasy is the perfect closer to a break up coming of age album. I don't know if it will ever be possible for her and her brother to ever top or at least come close to what this LP achieves, but somehow I'm hopeful that they will eventually reach even higher ground than this someday. Those two together are loaded with good art ... read more
Não consigo entender como esse disco não é mais conhecido. Ele saiu no mesmo ano do clube da esquina, e, na minha opinião, é tão bom quanto. Ele tem canções absolutamente perfeitas como Canção Postal, Homem da Rua e Faça Seu Jogo, que não entra na minha cabeça que não não sejam conhecidas como absolutos clássicos da música brasileira. E do outro lado do clima (ainda) mais ... read more
This album can be hard to get into at first ( it sure was for me), but when it clicks with you, you realize it's one of the best albums ever made. Bee Thousand is like a fuzzy dream, full of incredibly catchy tunes that stitch together, and when you wake up you can't quite remember it all clearly, but the melodies stay in your head forever.
Absolute perfect album + Absolutely ahead of it's time. Perfect mood, perfect tones, perfect playing, perfect production, perfect lyrics, perfect arrangements... I think you got me by now, no need to extend myself.
It's just astonishing how this lengthy 15 track album manages to be so consistent and packed full of amazing tracks. Leave It In My Dreams, Lazy Boy and Permanent High School are peak Julian pop rock songwriting. The rest of the album just go in lots of different tangents of musical genre, and almost every single attempt is successful. The only "duds" in my opinion are One of the Ones and Black Hole, but for very different reasons. One of the Ones is, by far, the most uninspired song ... read more
I'd say there's a good song in every single track of this album, BUT... The production in general is REALLY lacking, in several departments. Some songs fell super underdeveloped, especially Killing Lies and Fear of Sleep . A good producer working with a healthy band would NEVER let those songs slide into the album in the state they are. Other songs are the opposite, their are extremely busy, even more so when comparing to old Strokes material. For some it works like a charm (Red Light, Vision ... read more

"Summer Moon is Nikolai's project, so it's probably just a silly remix"

On ultravox's review of Gorillaz - Cracker Island
"Naah, o Gorillaz modernizado que a galera comenta mesmo é o Song Machine, que vale muuuito a pena ouvir. Mas assim, é uma coleção de singles. Podem até ser singles bem variados, mas são desconexos. Da muito impressão que depois do Humanz o Damon perdeu uma parte da ambição que ele tinha com o Gorillaz nos anos 2000."
On Toasterqueen12's review of The Shaggs - Philosophy of the World
"This was a great read my dude! I totally get what you mean from my listen. It's painfull and uncanny, yet very intrigging, for the fact that this was made by girls who clearly never had much connection with common musical structure and music in general. Also, these songs aren't symply random, they have structure, melodies and even hooks sometimes. People saying this isn't unique are unwiling to engage with the album. The fact that they composed, wrote, arranged, recorded, mixed and mastered 12 whole songs for these girls to play is absurd! This is what happens when you try to force kids being kids into a product, and is painfully unsettling.
For instanse, after listenning to some of this, put some good old White Light/White Heat to play. The Velvets instantly sound much less caotic and fup after the perspective shift, at least to me. This means that are things being done in these songs that really mess with our heads in an unique way, even if unintentionaly."
On Lola_Ceunen's review of Red Hot Chili Peppers - Return of the Dream Canteen
"The drums were 100% not done by a computer, even My Cigarette is probably just an old drum machine. This album and Unlimited Love were recorded and mixed 100% with analogue equipment, very far away from computers, directly into tape."
On reptilia0000's review of The Stooges - Raw Power
"I really liked your review, very honest opinion. I personally dislike this album, I think Bowie production really misses the hand. It does sound raw, but not very powerful, specially side by side with their previous album, Fun House.
That said, I think i can shed some light on why this is rated so highly.
You have to consider that this came out in 73, recorded in 72. This isn't a punk album, it's a proto-punk album. Im fact, it can be argued that this is the very last proto-punk album, since it's influence is enough to mark it as the kick-starting point of the punk movement as a whole."
