his last album wasn't good and was pretty boring at times and in three months he's somehow pivoted to the exact opposite. this is fucking chaos. glitched out electronica and breakbeats being tossed around in ways i never expected from this guy. there's a fucking lil soft tennis feature??? this score might go down over time but this knocked me on my ass on first listen

i feel like such a dork every time i pay rateyourmusic $20 but then i use the advanced filters to find stuff like this so ok fine maybe it's worth it

this is basically just the script of my youtube review: https://youtu.be/NXomRSHh1hQ?si=vk5tyzVJUffxhQmr

It’s been three months since I’ve done an album review, wow! Anyways, there’s a new Age Factory album out, simply titled Songs. It’s their fifth album as Age Factory, and their first since 2021’s Pure Blue. And I kinda teased this review would be coming in my last video, but hey the album’s actually out now, so I can give you my thoughts on it!

tokyo shoegazer if they weren't good

naming ur album "*famous album* 2024" is a fucking insane move. imagine if someone dropped an album called "madvillainy 2024"
i liked it tho

would go hard as instrumentals

the biggest possible failure for an album called chaos tape is that the first descriptor that comes to my mind is boring

japan's hottest singer gets outperformed by hatsune miku for 40 minutes

i have a youtube video in the works on my best debut albums of the year. it's written, and it was supposed to go up this weekend, but i got busy. it's like 80% ready, so as a break from editing I decided to put on this album. and this would've been top 5 on the list. fuck me.

i would say that this is just him impersonating carti for 25 minutes but the first song is literally called "playboi carti" so i think he's well aware

the premise here appears to be taking three e-girls and throwing them on top of a bunch of hardcore EDM songs except they're absurdly well produced. how is this really good

there are a concerning numbers of songs on this thing where he's singing like someone kicked him in the nuts right before recording. why does he sound like he's having an existential breakdown on the last song. why is there a random horror movie jumpscare interlude. is vaundy okay

why do so many japanese bands want to make me sound stupid, how do i recommend "the bercedes menz" to people without sounding like an idiot. this is a genuinely really good EP more people should hear

the fact that this has 3x more ratings than any other against me! album says a lot about this sites userbase

anyway this album made me realize i'm trans and then cry like a baby so good record

if i had to show earth music to aliens this is absolutely the first album i am picking. they'd probably get scared and flee back to their planet so it's killing two birds with one stonr

why is there an AI peter griffin feature

this has the least artistic merit of anything ive listened to all year, and I listened to the dream EP. this is a complete pile of slop. absolutely zero effort went into this. i feel dumber for having listened to this
i have done an extended 12 minute rant/review on youtube https://youtu.be/qSpU7wucPps

One of the biggest names in J-pop right now is Vaundy. It's been 3.5 years since his debut album Strobo, and that album's megahit Kaiju no Hanauta. Now he's gearing up for his second album. Vaundy has a chance to not just become #1 in Japan, but become an international sensation as well. All he needs to do is ride this wave of popularity and not do some completely wacky shit.

anyways the album is 35 songs long, sells for 4200 yen on CD, and the lead single is noise pop arena rock. what the fuck

i am probably the only trans woman to be named after skylar spence

on a related note this album rules

if aryy was some sad white dude with a good publicist he’d have about 100x more monthly listeners right now and theyd be writing articles about how he’s changing the rock landscape

i mean this in the most complimentary way possible
