It may have taken some time, I first listened to this fully almost a year ago, but I don't think it's possible for me to think this isn't a 10/10 anymore. It's so damn good and every time one song comes on in my playlist I have to go queue up every other one in proper order after it or I just decide to listen to the whole thing front to back. Everything about is so perfect. Mica has some of the best and most mesmerizingly beautiful vocals ever on every song and the ... read more
Definitely his weakest album since Black Ben Carson a decade ago, but still ultimately a good album. Probably the biggest issue here is the short length of the tracks plus the large amount of tracks. If he had cut a few songs out of here (not that any were bad but some could be saved for a deluxe or something) and added more depth to some of the better sounding ones this could've been closer to the level we've become accustomed to with his music. Production is still great but majority ... read more
Been a while since my last review but I felt the need to do another one for this project. Obviously, this hardly counts as a proper album considering it's basically just a compilation record of nearly 20 years of previously unreleased/leaked songs, but every song is good and this does include some of SALEM's best songs that I'm now glad are compiled together in one place. Vomit, Dirt, and Tent are all arguably top 10-15 songs in their discography and songs like Withoutu, ... read more
It’s been months since I gave an actual review to an album, but I think this is the best way to end that streak and finally get my 200th review on here. I watched All About Lily Chou-Chou earlier this year, and I thought it was a really great movie and I really liked the music made for the movie for the fictional titular pop star. Throughout the movie there’s an obsession with comparing her music and Lily Chou-Chou herself to the “ether.” It took me far too long to ... read more
I’m pretty confident that I had checked out a couple Purity Ring tracks a year or so ago but I didn’t remember which ones and they weren’t in any playlist of mine so they obviously didn’t make much of an impression on me. A couple weeks ago I tried listening to a couple songs of theirs again and I immediately loved them so later that day I listened to this whole album. I instantly loved it and I’ve kept going back to most of the songs on here since. The first four ... read more
