Thank you @Brando for sharing me your song :)

While the idea of this creepy piano sample mixed with this hard rock element sounded unique and cool, I don't think it works so well. The jumps from rock to piano aren't so smooth, and the last few seconds of the song are a bit random. Everything feels a little bit lost and doesn't connect really well in the end. Overall, I do still enjoy the song quite a bit, especially the piano sample used between transitions. Again, thank you Brando for showing ... read more

... Like Clockwork may be Queens of the Stone Age magnum opus. The album has the band go back to their roots and take elements from albums like Rated R and Songs For The Deaf. However, what makes this record different from everything they have released is the subject matter and what the band had to go through, especially Josh Homme. Before the start of this album, Josh was going through a deep depression, which might have been caused by his physical condition on his knees and the pain he was ... read more

When I saw the score of Era Vulgaris, I knew this was going to be a divisive album. After listening to this album, I understand why most people aren't a big fan of this record, but at the same time, I don't. The direction Queens of the Stone Age took with this album is different, but they somehow make it work. The instrumental and vocals on this album feel unhinged and out of control, which is found apparent on the track Sick, Sick, Sick, having these very heavy and harsh rifts mixed with ... read more

The album title is so misleading. I thought this album was going to be loud as fuck. I was wrong

For real though, this album shows us what Queens of the Stone Age can accomplish. From the instrumentation to the lyrics and vocals, everything is incredible from front to back. While this album is fun to listen to, the lyrics are nothing to look over. On songs like First it Giveth and Go With The Flow, the subject matter seems to range from wanting to forget someone to being someone who is being ... read more

Rated R is a better version of Queens of the Stone Age self-titled album that not only show improvements on Josh's vocal performances, but also on the structure of each song, where they now sound more focused. This record is also the most catchy the band has been. Songs like Auto Pilot and In The Fade have these infectious rifts and instrumentation that you can bop your head to and really feel the energy from. However, I think what keeps this album from having a higher score is the ... read more

A strong debut for Queens of the Stone Age. While most of the moments on this self-titled album don't really stick with me, I can definitely hear the blueprint for what's to come. Although I'm not really a fan of the vocals on this record, the rifts help with this problem and create this catchiness to Josh's vocals, which would be improved or worked on in later records. Overall, not their best album, but definitely an album that shows promise for the band.

LZ3 might be the weakest in the Led Zeppelin series, especially in the 2nd half, where the album loses the energy that it started with and has songs that aren't memorable and sounds completely different from the rest of the record. However, that doesn't mean that the album doesn't have any amazing moments. On songs like Immigrant Song and Celebration Day, the energy and instrumentation are fantastic as always, while the lyrics are much more descriptive and visual, like it's telling a story. ... read more

This is my first time listening to Queens of the Stone Age, and I like what I'm hearing. The vocals here are great, and the instrumentation is sick.

Sorry for leaving ya'll on a cliffhanger. Let's get back into it

LZ2 is another amazing album from the iconic band. Although the album uses the same formula as from LZ1, it also improves on it, with this album having more impressive vocal performances and instrumentation that can be underappreciated. LZ2 is also the most heaviest in the Led Zeppelin series, with heavier drums and rifts that are just incredible. The lyrics on LZ2 improve as well, with there being more heart touching moments on ... read more

For a B-side, these are some amazing throwaway tracks

While a few moments on this EP don't click for me, the overall experience is still great. This album still offers the same mood as the original In Rainbows, just not as cleaned up or polished. However, songs like Last Flowers and 4 Minute Warning are haunting pieces of art that really get a reaction out of you. The instrumentation is still incredible. Even if it feels a little incomplete, the tension the lyrics create makes up for it. ... read more

Bro, I just walked into a McDonald's, and some weird guy was sitting there not drinking his coffee. I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't speak back. What a weirdo, am I right

I've been meaning to check Untrue. It's been talked about a lot, so I had high hopes for this. And you know what, those expectations were met. For a dubstep album, this was such a strange but amazing listen. The sound it's going for is dark, but also bouncy and danceable. Burial somehow combines this ambient sound with ... read more

Original Review: An album that not everyone can get behind. The beats on here are dirty and the lyrics on each track has something to unfold and learn from.

I can only describe this album in one word: Dirty. From the beats to the lyrics, the vibe I keep getting from this album is dirty. While the production isn't as amazing as the albums with Kenny Segal, the production present here helps create the feeling of being controlled by either the system or our dark thoughts. Songs like Wharves ... read more

I didn't want to check it out, but in the end, I checked it out. And as expected, it's terrible.

The new Billy Woods album reminded me to review this record

After listening to both Maps and Hiding Places, I came to the conclusion. Both records are amazing in their own way. While Maps is a little more upbeat and has crispy production, Hiding Places is much darker, both theme and sound wise. Billy lyrics are much more visual and raw, almost like he's describing a nightmare. Songs like Checkpoints and Bedtime sound like someone is experiencing a disturbing nightmare while they are still ... read more

You're telling me this record is just 2 EP's. After everything I heard, this should be a full-length album.

Civilisation is a project that is yet again different from their previous records. Civilisation combines the heavy used synthns of Bonito Generation and the slower tempo of Time 'n' Place. However, this record also uses electronics in its production, giving it this futuristic or apocalyptic sound to it. While Civilisation isn't as catchy as KKB'S previous records, it makes up for it by ... read more

Whoops, I forgot to review this EP. My bad 😅

While this isn't redveil's best piece of work, it's nice to see him creating his own identity and sounding like himself. The production is rough, but in an appealing way. Although singing is the not the greatest, it's passable. The strongest part about this EP is the energy throughout. Overall, this is very fun EP that shows growth and potential from redveil.

I noticed something when going through KKB's discography. Each record has the same gummy and glittery production I keep on mentioning in my reviews, but they each have something different about them. Intro Bonito is more sample heavy with the production, while Bonito Generation uses mostly synthns. On Time 'n' Place, that's no different. The production includes much more heavy drums and acoustics. Not only that, but the tone is more somber. It doesn't really have that fun and happy tone that ... read more

Not gonna lie, the beginning of Heard a Song and Try Me sounds like a phone ring tone

Bonito Generation is basically an improved and refined version of Intro Bonito. KKB keep their very gummy and glittery production, but instead of using samples, they mostly lean towards a much more synth heavy sounding album. Even though they chase a different sound, that catchiness that was present on their previous record is much more noticeable on Bonito Generation. Songs like Picture This and Heard a Song ... read more

After listening to the entire discography of KKB, I completely understand the love for this group

While Intro Bonito is their weakest record, this mixtape is an amazing experimental pop experience. The samples used throughout the record is very fun and unique when compared to other pop albums. While the music has this glittery and gummy tone to it, which most of the time I don't like, the record uses this tone to not only make the songs catchy, but also memorable. Also, the production is ... read more

Wasn't expecting much with this album, especially with the singles that were released. But my God, was this boring. It's not the worst thing I've heard, but it's definitely not the best. Everything is all over the place, and not in a good way. I can't remember a single thing about this album. Some of the production is pretty cool, but that's about it. Overall, it's a record that doesn't offer much.
