CINEMA dub MONKS - cinema, duo
83

cinema, duo is easily one of the most human albums I've ever listened to. It's a snapshot. CINEMA dub MONKS wants you to absorb even the smallest detail of what happened there, at that time. It's Beautiful. Seriously, every bit of sound in this album is a joy to listen to. Even the sometimes jarring mistakes that were left in the recording without the slightest bit of care.

rj lake - The Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator Official Companion Album.
64

Great OST utilizing what is your average indie game sound pallette and adding a lot of quirk and personality to it; Something many modern indie game musicians should take note of. But,

-5 points for "easy girl"

Chris Juarez - GABA
47

I have to say that this sounds very similar to 90s/00s ambient music, which made me kind of nostalgic. While albumoftheyear dot org color codes my rating as red, it doesn't mean that I think this album is bad. I just didn't hear or feel any fresh ideas while listening to this album. The execution is decent though.
My personal favorite was definitely GABA 0.3. That's where it seemed like you were freer, if I'm making sense.

Concrete Castles - Last Structures of Dreams
47

A mostly inoffensive bitgaze(?) album (except for wash, I really didn't like that one) and a good start for testing the waters of a fresh genre. With some more polishing and experimentation there'll definitely be great results. It is however, brought down a lot by the mixing. Maybe it's my headphones but everything sounds a bit too bassy and muddy. I definitely would've enjoyed it more if the mixing was better.

Kota Hoshino - エヴァーグレイス [EVERGRACE]
80

The most batshit insane videogame soundtrack I've ever listened to. Each track has 15 different sounds and instruments playing all at the same time and they are just barely creating a song, but there's just so much soul and beauty in it that I can't stop loving the absolute chaos of people screaming, with violins and accordions and guitars and synths and drums full blasting my ears.
