... i think this is fine for the most part. the new mixing feels a bit weird at times, the instrumentals feel quieter and less impactful in quite a few songs, but overall id say the mix is an improvement. the new lyrics in my opinion dont flow naturally and theyre really jarring when put in the context of the songs.

everyone and their mama already talked about the "wet my pants" line in Drugs with Friends but i think the most egregious changes are the ones that basically remove all ... read more

it's alright, i'm just not really a fan of the style

80 -> 70 but this might fall even lower
proper review soon-ish

I CANT BELIEVE I SLEPT ON THIS, WHAT THE FUCK?

ive been meaning to see what all the fuss about this album was about, and i was honestly prepared to be thoroughly unimpressed. its atmospheric and genuinely mesmerizing at times.
holy fucking banger dude

i think i want to die

I will never forgive them for giving up RADIOHEAD for Sam Smith bruh

when i first saw the cover for this album i wholeheartedly expected the second coming of machine girl because of the use of symbols in the title. the actual content of the album left me very pleasantly surprised, though!
D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L is nowhere near what i expected. its quiet, calm, dreamy. the story behind the album is inherently nostalgia-inducing, its remastered old recordings that, if not for /mu/ of all things, would be forever lost to time. theres ... read more

[SWANS DISCOG DIVE #1]
What the fuck, man.
I was insanely nervous to pick up this album. It's one that's been looming over my shoulder ever since I started getting /deep/ into music-oriented spaces, patiently waiting for me to give it some time of the day. I never really had the time to give it a shot, I've always been busy with schoolwork, revising for finals, completing my portfolio, listening to same few albums over and over again... That is, until last night I reazlied I ... read more

this started my descent into alcoholism

im FAR too paranoid to listen to this album consistently. i feel like when you look at it this way, this is a massive success and it probably warrants a higher rating for the paranoia factor, but honest to god every time i listen to this i feel like im either a) about to get jumped or b) going through an awfully bad trip
i also know that the entire length is 66 minutes and 6 seconds but it kind of feels like theres too many intermissions

it gets 60 for my personal enjoyment and 80 for theming ... read more

at least he made graduation

i miss you pookie please come back.. i dont want dreamland or ilysfm... come back... please

this is so buns bro 💔

nothing i ever do can give me those eight minutes of my time back.

the instrumentals are fine? its a generic indie sound, not mindblowing or anything. definitely the best part of this EP though.

...what i dont like at all is the lyrics. the lyrics themselves. sex is an interesting topic to explore in music. this release doesnt do it well. its kind of clear that its not taking itself seriously, so i cannot judge it in this metric. what i can judge is how bland the execution is. its not ... read more

i know this is an elaborate shitpost but honestly i can vibe to this one. it has that lo-fi charm to it, the themes are... creative. fun concept, reminds me of Twin Fantasy in a way, which is great. god bless the internet

favorite track: Judy, Please Kill Me

so i actually listened to this for the first time today and my jaw was unhinged throughout the whole duration. its not good but i also have a feeling like it could have been way worse so ill give it a 3 — consider it points for creativity. awful but glorious

i get the hype for it as it really is influential but the listen was a bit boring if im being honest
