the pillows - HAPPY BIVOUAC

99/100
Okay I love the pillows and have a history and very nostalgic bias so I went into this with really high expectations
and said expectations very much met in a very satisfying way

Gorgeous Melodies, Long winding yet simplistic chord progressions, Some amazing uses of chord tones and voicings and overall genius songwriting

definetely one of the pillows of all time, Really makes you feel like the guy in the chair

Daft Punk - Alive 2007
97

My first daft punk record AND my first live album and i was absolutely blown away
The production was surprisingly clean for a live album with the recording and mixing being crystal clear
this in combination with masterfully crafted remixes of songs I already love making for an amazing experience.
The art of mashups itself also really lending well to and accentuating Daft Punk's already well known talents with creative sample work, infectiously catchy song writing and just unparalleled ... read more

julie - my anti-aircraft friend
88

WHAT'S THE HATE FOR THIS RECORD???

While not their best project this is clearly like really good and it shows
They pay their homages to older Grunge and Shoegaze while still continuing with their unique and distinct Julie sound
What's not to love?

サンボマスター [Sambomaster] - 僕と君の全てをロックンロールと呼べ
99

Never before have I seen a record so fueled by pure optimism and happiness
and this record not only sets out for that but achieves it with flying colors
every single track is just so joyful and filled to the brim with infectious whimsy
It's such an amazing experience that completely sucks you into said optimistic atmosphere

Fav tracks
1. Senso to Boku
2. Tegami ~ kitarubeki ongaku to shite ~
3. Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobundaze
4. Hanarenai futari

Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D
98

How did I hear nobody talk about this record when it came out because oh god is it so zettai amazing

3. KNOCK YOURSELF OUT XD
4. Is there really no happiness?
5. Cheerleader/Russian Roulette

GOOD

5. Extra Story/Analog sentimentalism

Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

結束バンド [kessoku band] - 結束バンド [Kessoku Band]

Genuinely saved my life
it doesn't get much better than this honestly

Weezer - Pinkerton
100

Genuinely a perfect album for me
It feels so just personal and like it was specifically made for me
it's just
it's so peak
I can't really put into words how amazing it is
genuinely
perfection

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - ワールド ワールド ワールド [World World World]
100

It's just so peak
The lyrics hit so hard home and The sound and production is just absolutely immaculate, Ajikan really sounds like Weezer if they didn't fumble the bag so hard after Pinkerton while standing on their own as THE defining artist for the Japanese rock scene
This record can make you feel the hypest you ever had and can make you breakdown in to tears

86

I am the whaler

Weezer - Raditude
30

Bitch it's weezer and it's weezy

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
94

Probably Radiohead's 2nd most underrated record behind AMSP
It's so overtly and explicitly a politically charged album and gives such a great insight in to the politics of the bush administration, politics which future generations such as I weren't there for and still despite being such an amazing time capsule of it's time.
So much of the political critique by radiohead stands to this day, and I don't know if that's a testament to how shit everything still is or to ... read more

Various Artists - mikgazer vol.1
100

Genuinely might be my favourite Shoegaze album I've listened to so far
It felt like I ascended from the realm of the living while listening to this it's so just heavenly and ethereal
