Yuzo Koshiro & Motohiro Kawashima - Bare Knuckle III
87

Tentative 87, definitely could go higher though. Massively experimental and intricate, very noisy, and the original CD mix is insane. No top-end at all, makes it sound super mushy and dingy, and I love it. Really feels like an actual album and not just a vgm release, both in mixing and tracklist flow. Often leans toward the then nascent genres of IDM and Digital Hardcore, but it really goes all over the map from rave and techno to gabber to more abstract noise. Super prescient to the electronic ... read more

MALADE DE SOUCI - Novmmbr Aign

Loads of fun to listen to, just a big jumble of rhythm and noise.

Deerhoof - Holdypaws

The updated track listing on the re-release is necessary, glad that's what's on the LP and streaming. Satan into Crow just does not work at all and having Satan as the start of side B really pulls the album together thematically. Also Great Car Tomb was MADE to be a penultimate track leading into a dark 10 minute piece like Data. The re-release, which I discovered the album through, is near-perfect. The original would still be fantastic, just not as thematic.

Beck - One Foot in the Grave

For me, this is the most listenable album of all time. I don't mean that as a backhanded remark either; I can put this album on at any time and get sucked right in. The first 5 tracks are just an insane run of great songwriting and composition.

Additionally, you NEED to listen to the deluxe version. They did a great job compiling the tracks and it ends up flowing so nicely. This version of It's All In Your Mind is, IMO, superior to the Sea Change version. The little solo is so sweet, his ... read more

Almost grindcore at times, one of the most headbang-worthy things I've heard in a while. Remaster makes new soak sound a little too much like modern post-hardcore for my taste, but trash zoo and the lead track benefit so much from the new mix. I'd recommend listening to both, as the album is only 9½ minutes long.
