JPEGMAFIA is a prime example of an artist who has never made a bad album, and I would argue that "EXPERIMENTAL RAP" is no exception to this rule. Consistently, the production is fantastic, Peggy's flow is immaculate (albeit repetitive), and for the most part it is an extremely entertaining album. Unfortunately for Peggy though, this is by far his worst album, and it is not even close. "EXPERIMENTAL RAP" sins enormously when it comes to repetition and length, which are ... read more
"I Need Drugs" is a very difficult album. From the abysmal cover to the song titles, it is clear what kind of an LP this is: a grimy, gritty, hateful, and perverted album made with intentions to shock and offend. And to make it clear, Necro had no good reason to make this album; essentially, it is one prolonged perverted, sadistic, misogynistic rant deliberately crafted to be as offensive as possible and garner controversy. With a music video depicting unsimulated drug use, and lyrics ... read more
Unfortunately, Drake's highly anticipated album "Iceman" is just about what I was expecting. I was not expecting an abominable album - which it certainly was not - but I was expecting more so a mediocre, forgettable album, which I did get. Sonically, "Iceman" is very passable. The sampling is decent, the trap beats are average, there is a couple decent lines throughout the album, and overall, the sound is alright. Unfortunately, my praise of "Iceman" ends ... read more
Yeah, it is funny, I'll give this single that much. Otherwise, it is worthless since it is not actual music, rather it is instead devoid of artistic merit due to the fact it is AI-generated "music". Thus I cannot justify giving it any significant credit, or rate it as a legitimate work of art. Still, these memes are great.
My goodness, the chorus of this song just might be one of the most breathtaking things I've ever heard...
"Hustle Bones" is one of the most unique projects coming from one of the most unique bands out there. Death Grips already is a band to explore all kinds of different sounds, harmonic territories, mood changes, and much more. Their projects are founded on experimentation, remaining perpetually abrasive in their sound, yet no song ever sounds the same from the last one. ... read more
Being hyped as one of the brutal death metal albums you can find, what I found was an astonishingly weak attempt at shock value and an unutterably boring experience. Obviously, the main infamy of the song is the lyrics for describing every kind of perverted taboo you could imagine, but there is nothing creative or interesting to be found within the lyrics. Simply conjuring a perverted thought to mind and transforming it into lyrical form is no hard achievement, but what is difficult is ... read more
My relationship with "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is a bit of a difficult one. Highly regarded as Kanye West's magnum opus album (largely due to its magnificent production and unbelievable scope), it would not even enter my top 3 Kanye albums. It is far too bloated, pompous, and filled with weak tracks and irritating content to be labelled as one of the finest hip-hop albums of all time. In spite of its fairly overrated status, there is so much artistic mastery to be found ... read more
From start to finish, Danny Brown's "XXX" is perverted and gluttonous. It is a large mixtape that depicts enormous drug and sex addiction, and the self-destruction that ensues. While the beginning starts with complete self-indulgence - especially with tracks like "I Will" - which serve as graphic paintings of hedonism, Danny Brown gradually shows the decline said hedonism has on his condition. The excesses of sex and drugs consume him entirely, destroying his mental and ... read more
A truly dreadful project of power electronics, one that cannot even compare in its level of psychological disturbance to something like "How Welcome Is Death to I Who Have Nothing More to Do But Die". For the most part, the music is extremely boring and uninteresting loops of the same samples, all of which sound abysmal. Though it has a couple acceptable tracks like "Rights of Daddy" (which I appreciate for using the monologue in a fantastic scene in "Henry: Portrait of ... read more
I am horrified and absolutely stunned by "How Welcome Is Death To I Who Have Nothing More To Do But Die". I can say with confidence this is the most disturbing and depressing record I have ever put myself through, yet I am nothing short of mesmerised by it. Similarly to the magnificent tragic album "Everywhere at the End of Time", aging and the days before death are confronted directly without a shred of glamorization. Yet, "Everywhere at the End of Time" is ... read more
At first glance, this looks like the cringy, unfunny ramblings of a pathetic edgelord, but it becomes so much more repulsive, when you see that this reflects the creator of this "album" (if it can even be called that). Nick Bate is a pedophile rapist who is sentenced to jail for 40 years, and considering he is simply singing about pedophilia and other perversions, the disturbing shock value of this project becomes much greater. This is not just edgelord shlock, but the disgusting and ... read more
I would say I have a strong stomach for extreme art as a person who has seen hundreds of films that fall under the category of "extreme cinema" and ventured through numerous artistic realms to explore the most controversial and shocking works in the medium. In regards to cinema I have seen some of the most disturbing things in my life such as "Tumbling Doll of Flesh" (1998) and "Cannibal" (2006). Unfortunately, in this exploration of extreme cinema, it came at the ... read more
Essentially, this is the musical equivalent of Lucifer Valentine's abominable compendium of cinematic slop "The Vomit Gore Trilogy". What I found so profoundly unbearable about the slog of an album called "Obey" is not that it is graphic (I can fully tolerate extremity in art), it is that it is excruciatingly boring. This entire snoozefest of an album relies desperately on shock value that is completely empty emotionally and vapid of meaning. Brutality and extremity ... read more
I'm not exaggerating; this is not only one of the worst albums ever recorded, but it also one of the worst things to come out of the medium of art. It is a molestation of the ears, the senses, and the desire to live. I loathe this abomination, and it inspires suicide and destroys any last remnants of hope for humanity's success.
Best song: Beauty
Worst song: Struggles
3/100
I find this album such an interesting case. For the first 10 tracks, there is not a single great song; it had some very good and solid songs (Life is Real) mixed with utterly awful ones (Body Language). It's generally a very mediocre project until the appearance of Under Pressure, which is not only leagues better than every other song on this album, but worthily stands as one of the finest and most astounding songs in history. The rating distribution for each track is very accurate, and ... read more
Potentially one of the most soulless, morally repellent albums I have ever had the immense displeasure of hearing. What is most shameful however is that - despite the ad hominems in his "anti-woke" messages, mindless insults on liberals, and delusional conspiratorial MAGA grifting - the music is some of the most dreadfully bland trap music conceivable. Almost all of the songs are built off only one or two chords, and if it dares goes to four chords, it will use the same clichéd ... read more
