What a piece of shit album this is.
I am pretty sure I have heard these lyrics sometime in elementary school, where kids would do rap battles against eachother.
'America's most hated'
lmao
Red Hot Chili Peppers does absolutely nothing to reinvent themselves in The Getaway. Every single bell and whistle has been heard before. There is no new sound, instead Red Hot Chili Peppers proves that they can put out an awfully average album, while comfortably residing in their comfort zone.
Halfway through the album, the vocals become a chore to listen to and by the time I reached 'Sick Love' it felt like I had heard everything Anthony Kiedis had to offer.
The lyrics are barebones in ... read more
Amazing album with an incredibly personal theme supported by Mitski's strong and raw voice. I cannot help but see the resemblemce between Mitski and Sharon Van Etten (Are We There). Mitski asserts herself as one of the strongest voices of 2016.
Favorite song: 'Your Best American Girl'
I do not regularly give hip hop albums high scores.
And to be frank Milo makes zero sense in many of his lyrics, which could put many people off, including me. Somehow he still manages to capture my attention with significant help from his mindblowingly amazing production. His flow is effortless and gives you the impression, that he is not even trying. It makes the album somewhat more interesting to listen to.
I will not even come close to understand everything Milo says in this album and this ... read more
Having listened to this on and off since 2013, I can say for sure, that this album is unique in every single aspect imaginable. The vocals, orchestration, lyrical content etc. It is all so refined and exciting.
What really gives the album its edge is the variety of the songs. There is no common theme throughout the songs, that you can just single out. Gorilla Manor touches upon so many subjects, and they do it in their own unique way.
Favorite song: Airplanes (Definitely on my top 3 favorite ... read more
Low Roar has managed to take inspiration from a number of artists (Radiohead, Sigur Ros) and bring it to an incredibly high level of musical fidelity.
Every single song has its own little instrumental quirks that really resonate with you. The songs are very varied, but still manage to keep the same melancholic atmosphere. Sometimes it is raw and explosive and sometimes soft and comforting. It is this perfect balance, that really pushes the album towards its apex. The album does not rest on its ... read more
I still think this is one of Death Grips' most inconsistent albums. There are some absolutely iconic tracks on here like Giving Bad People Ideas and Eh but aside from that, Bottomless Pit lacks identity.
It is like taking a care free tour inside Andrew Bird's head. The strong, curious personality that Bird possesses is just so delicate and begs to be explored. This is exactly what Bird does in this album. His quirky, self aware lyrics gives the album such a refreshing style that is not often experienced with a guy, that has consistently been putting out stellar albums throughout his career.
There is no censoring of his thoughts, nor is there any precautions taken for those who would not want ... read more

On 76fex's review of IDLES - Joy as an Act of Resistance.
"I can see your point regarding no subtlety - I guess it comes down to preference whether you like brazen protest music or something that is veiled under some smart symbolism. But saying the politics is conveyed in an unsophisticated way would be doing the album an injustice.

""fighting for someone else's cause" lmao isn't that what like half of all protest/politically charged music does? The artist conveys the emotions (anger, feelings of injustice, helplessness due to being trapped by dogma) of those that are not able to express them themselves - those that are not able to properly fight for their own cause. People that aren't exposed to injustices to the same extent as others can still fight against it. but "omg reddit xd amirite"

On KIDS SEE GHOSTS - KIDS SEE GHOSTS
"yeah not a good way to describe it, I realize now after a few listens.
There is a difference between talented production and good production. I acknowledge the immense talent behind the production, but I do not agree that the album is in any way a fulfillment of that potential.
I am happy to have strangers like you to tell me I am tonedeaf, though, lmao. You definitely got me there. "
On dyelir's review of The Voidz - Virtue
"I didn't even know that lmfao. But yeah, I kinda assumed this was a before-I-review-it-witty-commentary, because I would never imagine using the word 'traditionalist' to describe this album."
On dyelir's review of The Voidz - Virtue
""C-grade" "tradionalist"
You actually listened to the album in its entirety, right? "
On exception's review of Against All Logic - 2012 - 2017
"This is a very accurate and concise description of my thoughts about this album. Stellar record, no doubt, but I completely agree, I would not have listened to it had it not been for the attention it was getting."
On annpearson's review of Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Face to Face)

On johnlisi's review of Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Mirror to Mirror)
"It was to make space for the remastered version!!!! Check out his spotify again ;)"
On Björk - Utopia
"I am planning on writing a more in-depth review later on, but I advise you to check out the Independent's scores this year. They are contrarian for the sake of being contrarian trying to cater to audiences daft enough to read their all-around shitty newspaper. "
On SaulCLRadiohead's review of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland
"that's my exact question to your score"
On aaron's review of Milo - who told you to think??!!?!?!?!
"Also something I have been thinking about lately. On "So The Flies Dont Come", he actually like a relatively smart guy who watched a bit too much anime. Now though, he is completely off the grid, giving people flak for daring to just TALK negatively about his album. He told a guy on twitter to "shut the fuck and appreciate the beats" or something like that. I'm pretty sure he deleted it later but wtf. "
On VinylHound83's review of Alex G - Rocket
"It is sort of strange, which could explain why people find it so interesting. I agree with you, though. Pretty overrated in my opinion."
On Low Roar - Once in a Long, Long While...
"@ecorunner What is the statement of the album? Your critique is purely based on the notion that I did not "get" the statement of the album. Yeah, it is a breakup album and an attempt to move on, sure, but that is the vaguest description of an album you can give and can be applied to sooo many albums. It is a dark album, true, but purely for the sake of being dark. "
On Valeron21's review of Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.
"the interlude is a 100 in itself lmao
also, how does 80 constitute an average record?"
On exception's review of Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.
"Sometime as an artist art comes at u fast, and i believe he made this album like a mixtape n the process hearing the random shoutouts the album display by the dj. Thats what i think he was going for. Its supposed to b straight n your face. He made it commercial like a typical mainstream album while keeping the weirdness in ratchet in the music. He also dumb down the lyrics to put his message straight forward with the listener we he goes into his religious beliefs, and frustrations, and questions"
On Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE.
"I think the fact that you didnt like the heart part 4 as much as I didnt like Humble, shows that our taste for hip hop is different. Maybe just leave it at that? Because just saying "your opinion is bad buhuu", says more about you than it does about me lol"
On Jesca Hoop - Memories Are Now
"agreed"
On Foxygen - Hang
"Alright, I will!!"
On Injury Reserve - Floss
"I don't get your sentiment? If they just set out to make a "different" album then what's the point? That being said, this album is still okay, just far from the quality of LftDO."
On J. Cole - 4 Your Eyez Only
"@shazfiron. Please tell me what aspect of this album is in any way passable. I did not want to waste time roasting this album, hence the vague review, but I'll be more than happy to do it anyways if you want lol"
On Gucci Mane - Woptober
"Yeah they are not here on AOTY, but check out his Wiki. Since March last year he has released 13 mixtapes, two EPs, two compilations (why) and two full length LPs. That is way too many for any artist to be taken seriously.
I will correct my review, since he has not released 10 this year, but look on Spotify and it says that he has 10 mixtapes/albums/compilations released this year. SO that was where I got it from."
