Before Karma dropped and all the Jojo Siwa drama started I wondered what happened to her.
Well, now I unfortunately know.
After the first album that I listened to from Fushitsusha, Live/1st, I was absolutely ecstatic with listening to the next album in the course of Fushitsusha albums I’m going to listen to, Live 2, otherwise known as Fushitsusha (self titled). I love Keiji Haino and I am still absolutely excited to listen to Nothing Changes No One Can Change Anything, I Am Ever Changing Only You Change Yourself (Yes, the 3 hour one with Peter Brotzmann, it sounds incredible and great and it sounds like ... read more
Spiraling dark infinite pools of eternal blackness being reflected by the cold and dark moon, so dark that it absorbs every other possible color in this universe and only leaves the coldest and darkest and blackest of blacks, but there was never any other colors, there was only ever black. Evil, grimy and sludgy, free improvised, bluesy, transcendental, bleeding sludge and blackness, this album is unlike a traditional noise rock album and more like a collage of sloppy sludgy blues riffs ... read more
Feels like slowly wandering through empty, sludgy, dark, evil forests of doom and decay, guitars so goddamn chuggy and fuzzed out and distorted it’s incomprehensible. The sheer dark and fuzzy and distorted and feedbacked out chugginess of the shoegaze and doom metal inspired songs act as experiences, while the more high tempo upbeat, still incredibly distorted, noisy, chuggy, riffs of some other songs on the album are bangers that truly hit different that most noise rock, reminding me of ... read more
One of the most absolute amazing pieces of post rock music of all time. For me, this is the best post rock album of all time. I don't even need to anything about this because this piece of music existing is like Christ, explanatory in existence. World Police and Friendly Fire, a part in Static, for me is the greatest moment in all of post-rock music. If you are a person, like me, who peruses on AOTY to search for albums and shit like that, I am telling you, LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM, RIGHT, FUCKING, ... read more
This is most likely the most incredible and amazing noise rock album I have ever have listened to. I love the climax where slowl chuggy distorted guitars utterly brutalize the soundscapes of clean leads and chords being cascaded flowing and ebbing over Steve Reich styles phasing guitars light drums, and the like. The almost atonal choir fits perfectly with almost satanic distorted guitars and heavy pounding and pummeling drums. This album is easily the best noise rock album i've ever listened ... read more
For me, this is easily Death Grip's best project ever. I have a shirt with the album cover on it because the album and cover is so great. You know how people think about incredibly great and consistent track runs across a certain section of an album? That's this WHOLE album. This album is incredible, and I have known it a large portion of my life and absolutely adore it. The rough, gritty, dirty, raw and absolutely mean and nasty, glitchy, broken, soundscapes of samples and jagged ... read more
This album is horrible. They clearly put all the energy in the singles, and even the singles were horrible. Also a very bad move to have the first 3 songs on the album be singles. Midwest Indigo is actually one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life. The mixing and production of the album is horrible, and going back to Midwest Indigo, the detuned saw synths are painful, the piano is awful and cheesy and wretching, and as a very passionate jazz fusion bass guitar improviser, the bass in ... read more
1976's "Pangaea" shows amazing sounds of avant garde jazz fusion psychedelic-esque sparsely ornamented spawning echoey and spacey grooves that somehow make you think while at the same time making you not think at all and just sit back as one small, silent idea develops into a psychedelically evil groove, pulsing like tiny microcosms of bacteria and other different cells, grooves sometimes tranquil, and seeming unending. Miles Davis' Electric Period, which I have always loved, always ... read more
Just finished Miles Davis' 1971 live project, Live - Evil and what I can easily say after enjoying literally every second of my listening experience is that this is easily one of my top 3 favorite albums of all time. The textures and layers of bombastic, avant-garde, raw, funky, and wailing improvised instrumentation held together by a hard constantly pulsing groove communicated by everyone's incredibly experimental improvisational playing. This album is filled with instruments and sounds you ... read more
Hello! I'm back with a review of Miles Davis' 1958 soundtrack work for the French neo-crime/thriller movie, Elevator to The Gallows. This album is absolutely great! The depth of the cool, dark, moody, mysterious, piano vamp-focused atmospheric songs on this album really set a mood and ambience to the album like no other. I also especially enjoy the much more up-tempo jams with fast, riding, drums and fast walking on the upright bass while Miles' shreds to infinity on a muted trumpet. Both sides ... read more
Wooooow... This was bad. This was just really, really bad. The song had no structure and format. It was also unbelievably boring. The beat was pretty shitty. I just can't really think of anything good to say at all, and I also couldn't think of anything bad to say because everything bad in the song presents itself so you already know that it's bad. End of story. I usually don't publish reviews this short but I honestly have nothing else to say.
Incredible improvised instrumentation hinting at rock and roll played the best guys in jazz fusion, the rough, jagged and perfectly imperfect soloing of John McLaughlin, the incredible unique playing of Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea and Larry Young on electric piano, Both Harvey Brooks’ and Dave Holland’s masterfully funky electric and upright bass integration on long groovy, grimy jams, Bennie Maupin’s atonally spiritual bass clarinet playing and of course, Jack DeJohnette’s ... read more
Okay. Let's start by saying that is most likely 100th listen to Jaco Pastorius' self titled album, and every time I listen to it, it still hits the same, truly a masterpiece comprised of advanced musicianship in every single category of instrument, along with gargantuan flourishes of emotion across almost every song on the record, this is a fantastic model and an absolutely QUINTESSENTIAL listen for any jazz fusion out there at all, doesn't matter if you do or do not play the bass guitar. ... read more
Most of my followers probably saw me continually messing about with my favorite albums list, however after another listen and a large amount of thinking, this jazz fusion album has great improvisation and some actually very solid layering, however it feels like someone took notes on my music taste but didn't put any of the emotion on my favorite jazz fusion albums. The melodies on this thing are also a little bit of a let down, not being memorable and sounding off in an almost pre-generated ... read more
Another single review In the long awaited saga of my Clancy review, Next Semester. I just listened to this song, and I was pretty confused by how the subject matter of the song did not match with the almost pop punk instrumental. I do have to say that they at least stepped up their game with the instrumental from Overcompensate, at least the rap part, not the intro beat with the muddily layered synths and drums. It does have a frankly cohesive pop punk/garage rock revival/post-punk revival ... read more
Alright! I'm finally back! I just fully listened to Swans' 2016 album and the 3rd and final installment in the Swans' trilogy, the Glowing Man... and I have a complete loss for words. The texture and layering is the to this day, the best that I have ever heard in post-rock, period. This is EASILY, for me, the best installment in the trilogy including The Seer, To Be Kind and the Glowing Man as it surpasses all of them by perfectly layering textures and sounds into a purely hypnotizing manner ... read more
