This record is the one thing that removes the Beatles from pure consistency.

Another Belgian classic, a rock and kleinkunst record that most definitely inspired generations.

One of the better Belgian records

Not bad

No thanks Ye.
Is what I'd say to his old version of BULLY. Along a few stand-out songs paired with unfinished mediocrity. I'd give this album a higher rating than AOTY is making it out to be. This is far from a good record but there seems to be more soul than we as listeners anticipated. The first half of the album seems consistent enough but the last crop of songs are absolute garbage. I hate Don Toliver.

I just read a comment on their YouTube calling them 'Slipdot', I just wanna say I agree with whoever called them that.

Can’t Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan is just… easy to live with. That’s the first thing. It doesn’t try too hard to impress you, but it ends up doing that anyway.

What I like most is how natural it feels. The songs are well-written, sure, but they don’t feel “constructed” in the way some of their later work does. You can just put it on and let it play without thinking about it too much, and it works. At the same time, if you do pay attention, ... read more

The 90s truly were a special decade for belgian rock.
Disregarding the absolutely horrible persona of Luc de Vos (lead singer, rest in peace though), him and the band definitely hold a large stake in dutch-speaking alternative rock which inspired countless musicians.

Gorky (1992) is an album that lands at the median of the Belgian music sphere, an album that lays the first brick of an exponentially growing road.
The album itself consists relatively basic slowcore rock in its entirety and has ... read more

A more polished, refined and ambitious album from Evil Superstars’ 2nd and eventually last album.
We can definitely find that the music is less avant-garde and weird than the its predecessor, though in no way does that take away how daring it is in its entirety. Heavy loud riffs accompanied by acoustics and sometimes very intimate singing. It is definitely a must listen in order to understand the vast world of Belgian Music.

Love Is Okay by Evil Superstars marks a generational beginning to a Belgian Golden Age of Alternative Rock though thanks to said age, Belgian Rock as a whole. Introducing much more than simply Belgian New Wave thanks to the Late and Great Arno Hintjens, Hooverphonic, 2 Belgen, Front 242, The Neon Judgement, 2 Belgen, Soulsister, and many many more predecessors taking the scene’s hard-earned crown.
To most, Evil Superstars are the true heir to the crown, as they finally put Slacker Rock, ... read more

If this was only LONG SEASON, it would be near perfect, I'm not the biggest fan of reggae rock and exotic music. Though the Dream Pop is done to absolute perfection, I could only imagine how incredible this concert would have been live.

The rock world in the 90s followed an entirely different algorithm compared to the 80s New Wave and Rock and even more so the 60s-70s more rooted heavy rock and mainstream rock that was so incredibly popular.
I'd argue that Ween is one of the frontrunners of this new algorithm. Covering a varia of different styles of music and different (humoristic, borderline satirical) ways of writing and managing to take my heart. It is not an understatement that I am making when I tell you all that ... read more

I just don't think anything will make me feel more like I'm in space than this album.

A very rare record from underground Belgium. A Heavy Psych combination with pure jazz-rock mastery.
It is a profoundly well-mastered composition. The guitar is unique the bass was above its pay-grade and the drums were harsh, loud and constant. It is actually very solid.

This is, lyrically speaking, a far more impressive record than I ever imagined. It is far more sophisticated than other records like "Nooit Meer Drinken" or "Gorky", but it did feel a bit corny at times. Instrumentally it seems pretty impressive and you are pretty entranced by the atmosphere this record attempts to make. There are definitely stand-outs that make the album shine brighter but overall there are songs that feel relatively stale and similar.
It is definitely ... read more

THE SEARCH FOR SUD-AMERICA #1

Though English-speaking music is the most accessible in the modern era. The music world is vast and quite frankly, in its entirety, often overlooked. Thanks to our lord and savior AOTY, it is
luckily less so a problem of not being able to find this vast amount of music and moreso being able to rate incredible music outside that of the lingua franca. In my quest to find what is
better than English I stumbled upon the vast universe of South-America.
I understood, ... read more

An album about schizophrenia. An album about stereo sound before stereo existed. An album about a young man with four (=Quattro) personalities. Quadrophenia mixes multiple terms, ideas, concepts together to create arguably the greatest Opera Rock album ever created. The lyrics deemed simplistic yet deep enough that you can feel the symptoms of Jimmy, the broken young man and previous british mod unable to find inner peace and acceptance with oneself. His brain, as troubled as a thunderous sea ... read more

What will always go unnoticed is the true magnificent nature of "In the Court of the Crimson King", a truly impressive album that makes King Crimson look and sound like the best band ever. This band manages to compose a true masterpiece following an incredible entry and exist. Every song hits incredibly hard and feels like every spec of energy is poured into it. Epitaph, a song within the album, is arguably the best song in the album, carrying an incredible amount of lyrical weight ... read more

(Near) True Perfection, that is the everlasting term of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. As a recurring listener of Pink Floyd I can confidently say that this album is not only the most consistent but also the most brutally nude in its willing exposure to Psychedelia which is one of the least sophisticated reasons I adore this album.

An obvious stand-out as one of the most sold albums in history it is also the Anthem of listening to music while high. As the album takes you on a route ... read more

Words could not describe the last studio album of the Beatles. The swag entrance of Come Together, both iconic and amazingly chill. Followed by the overly complex bassline of something and its following into a great album. With the climatic end of the first LP side of I Want You (She's So Heavy) following a breezy, calm and happy Here Comes The Sun. This album closes with The End, on a more in-depth note. This song is meant to reflect William Shakespeare, a writer that inspired Paul ... read more
