Machine Girl - …Because I’m Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For
90
I'm not sure how WLFGRL is considered brutal when ...BIYAAHEYSF exists

Because I loved WLFGRL so much, I thought it only made sense to check out their other popular album, ...Because I'm Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For. And GOD DAMN! This album fucking slaps. While it still has that fast-paced production, it's a lot, and I mean A LOT, more aggressive, heavy, and punk influenced, and it's done so fucking well. The intro track, which is also the title track, goes all in with ... read more

Machine Girl - WLFGRL

"The Most Brutal Album I've Ever Heard"

That was probably the first time I've ever heard about this album. Looking back, it's such a funny ass title. Because when you listen to the album itself, it's nowhere close to being brutal or harsh, at least in my opinion. But even though I didn't find it brutal, I still had a really fun ass time with WLFGRL. There's so much to love about this album. To start, the album cover for WLFGRL is sick as fuck. I love the vintage look it. It honestly ... read more

underscores - Wallsocket

Talk about teenage angst

Even though I've listened to so many albums this year, there were albums released this year that I never thought about checking out, and Wallsocket is one of them. I never really had a reason to check this album out, even after seeing positive reviews on this site. But as the end of the year is approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to listen to some albums that I didn't do until now. And what better place to start than with Wallsocket by underscores. While I ... read more

¿CJay? - あなたはどこにいきましたか

On top of my untitled mixtape, I've also released my first single to an album that I hope comes in the future. I'm really proud of this track, and it would mean a ton if ya'll gave it a listen

The untitled mixtape is finally. Don't expect too much. They're all just mediocre leftovers and demos, but I didn't want to throw them away

Shorewood - lo único que quiero

Thank you, Nathan, for sharing your track with me :)

Really cool track. I really like the production. It sounds like an 8-bit video game mixed with some rock. I also love the build-up to the end, with many more production elements being added. It makes the end of the track more satisfying. I also think the singing has improved a lot. Even with the effects, I can tell just how much you've approved on your singing. Overall, this track is pretty great and improves on the previous track I heard ... read more

Brief Review:

Fun :)

Literally, the only reason I listened to this album was because so many of my mutuals on Twitter talk about this album. But I'm glad I gave this album a listen because it's super fun. It's not anything crazy, but it's a unique and very enjoyable album. Most of that has to do with the production. The production is absolutely fantastic. It's dreamy, colorful, and catchy as fuck. You Lose! is one track that captures all of the qualities of the album. It's obviously inspiring ... read more

600 Followers Special: The Finale

Is anything real when you can't even feel anything?

Everyone faces problems in life. Sure, you can try to have the best times of your life and try to distract yourself from the problems, but sooner or later, something will bring you down. It's sadly a part of life, and that's what VOLCANIC BIRD ENEMY AND THE VOICED CONCERN is all about. It's shows the many hardships and problems Lil Ugly Mane faces. These problems can range from mental health problems to ... read more

Lil Ugly Mane - Oblivion Access
80
600 Followers Special: Part 6

The description for this album on Bandcamp is something else

Oblivion Access is another weird album from Lil Ugly Mane. While Uneven Compromise was weird because of the many switches it takes, Oblivion Access is weird because of the psychedelic production and overall esthetic of it all. It was also marketed as Lil Ugly Mane's last album, so I'm because of that, Lil Ugly Mane went all out with this album. And he did, creating this trippy and dark themed album. ... read more

600 Followers Special: Part 5

Bro wants to be Swans so bad

50 tracks that make up over 2 hours of music. Now, that already feels like a lot. 2 hours of hip-hop tracks that are mostly instrumental kind of sounds like a boring experience. Hell, even I thought I was going to be bored. But nope. Third Side of Tape does so much and pulls everything off to create this experience I'll never forget. Now, obviously, I won't be able to talk about every track here. I mean, there's 50 fucking tracks. ... read more

Lil Ugly Mane - Three Sided Tape Volume Two
80
600 Followers Special: Part 4

Givens being only a minute long is criminal 😭

TST2 is much of the same thing that was on TST1, having some unique and leftover shit. However, with TST2, the production is a lot more chill and smooth, while still some great ass bangers. Underwatertank is a smooth ass track, and the sample adds some beauty to it all. Clueless 2 is absolutely chaotic, but it's not all in your force. It still has that chill feeling, which is weird to say, but that's how I feel. Go ... read more

600 Followers Special: Part 3

This doesn't really have anything to do with the music, but, as of right now, I just saw TST1 was removed on Spotify. Thankfully, I found a video on YouTube with the time stamps, but I just found that as the worst bad timing I've ever faced 😅

While TST1 is just some unreleased and leftover shit, there are still some great ass tracks on here. There are some tracks that have that same low-budget horror soundtrack esthetic that was on Mista Thug Isolation, but ... read more

600 Followers Special: Part 2

When was the last time an EP was this perfect?

Uneven Compromise is probably one of the weirdest and best pieces of music I've heard. Just everything about it is strange but amazing. From the switch ups to the production, this whole EP is a crazy experience, but one that is absolutely incredible and deserves a deep analysis. I won't be able to get every detail of this EP, but I'll try my best to explain why I love about all 4 parts and what they all could ... read more

In just a few months, we have already hit 600 followers. I've been doing this for almost a year, and seeing this much support is really encouraging for me. Thank you to everyone who follows me and likes my reviews. It means so much 😊
So, for anyone who follows me, ya'll know that when I reach a milestone, I always write a lengthy review of an album that I love. But recently, I felt like it was getting kind of boring. Obviously, some people seem to enjoy them, but for me, I felt like it was ... read more
death's dynamic shroud - 失われた時REGRET
90
I'm not joking when I say that I've been wanting to review 失われた時REGRET ever since I read @Host review on it. I've read amazing reviews before, but Host's review was just something else. For an album that really doesn't have any lyrics, he was able to pull so much meaning and detail out of it, which I find impressive. If you haven't read his review, please do. It's amazing.

DDS is a group that I discovered a few months ago, but ever since then, my love for them has been growing. They ... read more
