Yesterday, I decided to give Paramore a chance after a long time, during which I kept saying I would. As you can see in my review of All We Know Is Falling (I invite you to read it), it wasn't a completely positive experience.
As I mentioned earlier, that first album I listened to was a disappointment in many ways, so I decided to try this one. In summary, it didn't change my opinion for the better; instead, it reinforced my negative perception. Every song is extremely repetitive, ... read more
Phil Elverum probably has one of the most interesting musical careers to date, also standing out for its length. When writing this, I wanted to better recall his entire career and was truly amazed. I had forgotten how influential he is and all the projects he has produced or participated in, such as being the drummer in the band D+ in his early years, I would say. But moving forward, what truly matters, considering the album I will discuss, is how he performed under the band name "The ... read more
I had heard good things about this album, so, without knowing much about the band, I had some expectations, none of which I would say were met.
To begin with, I feel that the opening track doesn’t stand out in any way. Personally, I found it extremely repetitive and much longer than it needed to be. Although, I must admit, it was catchy at times. As for the second track, I felt the same, but even more so. While I didn’t think it was a terrible song (like "Whoa," which I ... read more
A few weeks ago, I wrote my first review of this album, and I completely regret what I said. I took the time to listen to it again, and I must say I judged it wrong initially.
The song that opens the album starts with a rather long and very calm intro, which quickly changes when the long-awaited explosion happens, showing from the very first seconds why it's more than excellent to categorize it as a metalcore album, a genre I'm not very familiar with but one that this album made me ... read more
In 2015, Nicole Dollanganger released the most iconic album of the Tumblr era, an album that not only stood out for its sounds and her distinctive voice, but also for the dark lyrics she manages, which, at first, no one could have imagined.
The production of this album is flawless, with very few details that contradict the overall brilliance of each song. The guitar, which accompanies you from the first to the last track, is incredible. It creates an atmosphere that takes over the room, making ... read more
When we talk about the most intriguing genres in terms of what they are or how they are formed, we must surely consider "Trip Hop." This genre, if we describe it in the most superficial way, is mainly defined by the fusion of Hip Hop with electronic music, blending them almost into one, thus giving birth to this genre. However, if we dive deeper, as is necessary when discussing this album, Trip Hop incorporates elements of Hip Hop and electronic music, but it also adds nuances of ... read more
It’s been a week since I listened to this album, and to be honest, my opinion about it hasn’t improved. With the first song, I actually had a good time; it was quite entertaining and I liked the direction it seemed to be taking. Plus, it uses genres that I find interesting to listen to. However, there was something that simply didn’t work for me.
To begin with, I want to highlight its artistic identity, as there’s clearly personality in the project, and that’s ... read more
Until the moment I listened to this album, I had never heard a complex project from Mitski, only a few scattered songs that didn’t really catch my attention enough to make me want to listen to a full album. However, I always kept her on my list and finally decided to give her a chance.
"Lush" is her debut album, released while she was still a student. I feel like each of these aspects is present in the project itself. The execution is very good for someone with little ... read more
Alanis created an album that seems to have completely defined the adolescence of the '90s, and when I listen to and interpret each song, I understand why. You can feel the revolutionary, youthful, reckless, and inexperienced spirit that’s typical of that stage in life. But now, if we go deeper into the album, I think it left me wanting more.
The first time I listened to it, it felt like I had hit a wall right at the start. The first song sounds incredibly irritating at times, but I ... read more
"To Bring You My Love" was a surprise in many ways. I’ve known PJ Harvey for a while, but I had never taken the time to listen to a full album of hers, so I had no idea what to expect, although this was the last thing I imagined.
The album greets you with extremely heavy acoustic sounds, which, personally, felt amazing right away. Just with that, I was able to transport myself into the world she seemed to be building with each phrase. For example, with the song that starts the ... read more
Fiona only had one job, and she did it more than excellently. I believe that, in order to talk about this album, we first need to consider the context in which it was released.
"When The Pawn...", that album with such a long title, was released after the endless wave of criticism Fiona received following the speech she gave at the 1997 MTV VMAs, releasing this project two years after that event.
The song that greets us is "On The Bound", which already gives us an idea of ... read more
The first time I tried to listen to this album, I couldn't even get past the first song. Everything sounded so ethereal and senseless that I simply didn’t think it was for me, especially since I was quite closed off regarding music and what I generally listened to at the time. This made me unable to find any meaning in it, and I considered it overrated and empty. About a year and a half ago, almost two, I decided to delve deeper into the music industry, significantly expanding my ear ... read more
I started listening to this album with high expectations, since, although critics described it as an average album, many people recommended it to me and I had read very good opinions from people who heard it.
When I started The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, I found it entertaining, but not a big deal. At first I thought it was because I was just starting the album, but as it progressed, that held true. And I don't want it to be misunderstood: the songs are very good; In fact, there ... read more
Black Country, New Road gained their place in the industry thanks to their wonderful and fresh debut, For The First Time, a project that stood out for representing a free, bipolar, erratic and, in a way, adolescent spirit. An album that tries to represent how we break those imaginary chains to allow ourselves to live life, something that, taking into account the context in which it came out, was extremely necessary and that many of us needed to learn to recover.
Placing myself in this ... read more
I don't consider this new album to be the best of their discography, but it could be very close to it.
"GNX" is an album that is both fresh and fun, with lyrics that, at times, play at being funny or mocking, while at others, they get extremely deep, where Kendrick says what he feels and thinks, while criticizing others. things. We had already seen this in previous projects, but in this one he does it in such a relaxed way that it feels different and interesting. It features ... read more
"Hit Me Hard And Soft" seems like a good album to me, songs with good lyrics and an execution that leaves me room to question, some songs seem to me to sound extremely low, almost that at times you can't appreciate what Billie sings. which makes it boring and by the time the song has that "boom" I probably already released it before, but my real problem with the album is the little innovation it has, I feel like it copied the same formula that it has been following ... read more
Where to start with this album, a folk and indie masterpiece, something noisy but harmonious, old but at the same time so modern, it does not open the doors to how difficult it is to end childhood and how a lot of adult problems are present. , with such a marked aesthetic that it can be seen from the first glance we have with the magnificent cover, which to tell the truth is another masterpiece and helps us to get an idea of what we will be hearing as soon as we play the album.
To begin with ... read more
"Wallsocket" was a super interesting album to listen to, I came with some ideas and expectations that I quickly had to discard when I realized that the album was going to go in another direction that seemed a thousand times more interesting than I thought it was going to be. .
Underscores formed an extremely entertaining concept album to listen to, lyrics that talk about problems or dark events in life in a way that does not seem to deal with those topics. Starting with "Cops ... read more
Mon Laferte con este álbum, que debe ser el mejor de su carrera, demostró su gran capacidad como artista, superó todo los estándares que podría haber tenido yo (que no soy fan) o hasta el de alquien que si.
Ya con la canción que abre el album nos presenta sus toques más experimentales, funcionando géneros que nunca me habría imaginado que podrían juntarse y que si llegara a pasar, quedaría algo poco gustoso para ... read more
It was interesting to listen to this album, I find it acceptable, entertaining, very interesting since most of the songs make you want to know how they are going to continue, it creates an atmosphere in such a way that it envelops you, it allows you to imagine what comes next and in the same way It surprises you. The way they handled the voices, sounds and rhythms is very entertaining, I really liked the execution.
It's clear that I don't think it's the next best album in ... read more
