Metal November Day 6!

Yeah this one goes fuckin hard in the paint. Groove Metal is a genre I've always fucked with because the songs are just such epic headbangers that are fun heavy and approachable. Magma probably stands as my favorite Groove Metal album to date barely edging out Ashes of the Wake.

While not as mind melting and unhinged as From Mars to Sirius, Magma is not to be underestimated. With a couple steps away from thier usual Death Metal feel Magma is one of Gojira's most ... read more

Metal November day 5!

short little 20 minute EP. It was a nice listen had some good vibes, aggression noise all the stuff you'd want out of a project like this. Kinda wanted cooler riffs... felt a little lacking in the details and finesse of great metal projects but it is just an EP im interested what a group like this could come up with on a full LP scale album. I feel like they would either blow my mind or make something very one note. Still I had a good time checking this one out, probably ... read more

I feel like I'm on methamphetamine, cocaine and ketamine all at the same time strapped to the top of a bullet train blasting through a tunnel of buzzsaws in hell while on fire.

Day 3 of Metal November!!

I am the target audience for this album. I love brutal death metal, heavy sludge, and especially blackmetal. Hearing it all masterfully pieced together in a way that also reflects my deeply rooted hatred of mankind is like a dream come true. I think my entire worldview is beautifully ... read more

Day 2 of Metal November 2023!!

Immediately when this album got recommended to me I was extremely intrigued. Death metal is one of my favorite subgenres and seeing this album referred to as "Dissonant Death Metal" and "Avant-Garde Death Metal" got me really excited as to what it might hold. I was not dissapointed.

Obscura is extraodinarly dark and heavy. The best way I can describe this album is that it feels like having every bone in your body slowly broken 1 by 1. The ... read more

Coldplay - Parachutes Review:

waiter can I order one sad british man playing guitar please!

yeah this record is very melancholy the generous use of acoustic guitar and subdued vocals give a very sad feel to the whole project. Just from that alone I can see why people call this record a radiohead rip-off. I dont think its a radiohead rip off though just similar in origin. Genre classification on this record is difficult because it doesnt feel like rock, it doesnt incorporate enough rock ... read more

this hits...

okay this is actually something really special. The thoughtful, melancholy vibe of this album is perfectly executed. The flow of this album getting angrier and more confused as it goes on is top notch. Then you have Getting Sodas perfectly reflect and cap the album off its absolutely phenomenal... From the passion of the vocals and the songs to the well crafted math rock instrumentals this album shines in almost every way. As someone who loves a lot of Midwest emo I'd say this ... read more

straight fire

im a dogboy off acid at 7/11

okay so let me start by saying I understand the appeal, this is very much scrapbook romance music. The purpose is to be used in tik toks about cute trends or relationship quotes and it does a good job of doing that. However from an artistic standpoint Stephen plays it way too safe here and it leads to the quality being dulled. Some of my favorite tracks on here (Shake and Death Of The Troubadour) do see Stephen willing to experiment sonically and play with ideas from some older and more ... read more

Sometimes an album just hits... every track is a groovy and rich soundscape and it honestly bangs so hard! The Post-Punky influences are exactly my style and the subdued vocals behind the large beefy sounds of groove ahhh it speaks to me. I 100% see myself bumping this while im at school, silently vibing in the halls and banging my head while I work on tests. such a lush soundscape and incredible synth (or guitar) lines (I really cant tell im not the smartest) but they sound awesome! I was ... read more

worst album of all time with no competition

the flows are cool and I love the way he postures himself on this record but I just never heard a song where I was like "yeah this slaps" no song had me bopping my head or wanting to hear it again... the production is cool but forgettable this whole project never was able to grab my attention and keep it... that said I've heard much worse

With very cool hard rock guitar tones and a very solid grasp on how to make an engaging song I am pleasantly surprised by the groovy and headbanging nature of this record!! While not every track is mind-blowing, none of them feel bad so I'd say its skip-less as well... the thing holding this album back is it stays very firmly in the lines and changes its sound very little which produces consistency at the cost of wow factor, still a great record, plenty of bangers and vibes to be had!

so many cool ideas and the production is so cool and unique, I wish in the end more of the songs were fun and enjoyable listens but the experimental nature of it all ended up hurting as while every song had so many cool ideas and so much potential it didn't really come together into something I find myself wanting to return to... I am excited to see what this duo is able to pull off on future releases though!!

this album makes me feel good

from the moment I heard the first track I knew this album was gonna be something special... with simple yet completely bare and beautifully crafted songs filled to the brim with tenderness and pain, Carrie and Lowell is a deeply painful and endlessly pure experience and I proudly give this a 10/10 score truly haunting and yet delicate at the same time... unreal album

I see very few flaws with this record, every song is just as good or better than the last with so much variety in the way each song is made and how it hits, this album is the definition of a masterpiece with no stone left unturned and literally no misses, the production is everything from dreamlike and cloudy to groovy and exciting or even full of sound and life, its impossible to describe the broad range of ways this project will make you feel... its truly truly amazing... I did not know ... read more

super poetic and extremely beautifully written!! My biggest gripe is his vocal delivery on the majority of the tracks sounds the same but there isnt a bad song and I like that I can tell i'm listening to a masterpiece from the moment it starts it feels great to listen to

Paysage D'Hiver is if everything evil and wicked and dark and fucked up and cruel and wretched and foul and nasty and malicious and decitful and sinister and creepy and menacing and disturbing and eerie and dire and ominous and WRETCHED were balled up into one fucking evil eldritch conglomeration of a blackmetal album. If you want to feel paranoid and emotionally devastated to the point where your nerves no longer function and your brain feels like it was squashed by a fucking anvil: listen to ... read more

Death didnt invent death metal but they perfected death metal. Showing no remorse with the most obnoxious and agressive drums and riffs Death's goal is to remove you from your skin. Chuck is literally inhuman with his delivery on this record he holds nothing back and he sounds incredible like he took a portal straight from hell into the studio where he saw the sun for the first time and its burning him. The incredible mastery and pacing of this record is undeniable, The Sound of Perserverence ... read more
