A special and poignant register for the beginning of the Emo revolution.
When the sudden desire to change the world invades your skin, it's not too hard to get easily devoured by the intense fascination of a hypothetical victory with no defeats; in a war, you must fight and lose a lot of loved ones, but it's surprisingly easy to find an idiot whose destruction strategies would sound closer to a psychopath instead of a survivor. In the current political climate, everyone wants to be ... read more
They are so anti-system they eventually support dictatorships, which is the funniest but most ludicrously stupid result.
(ok, this is a deeper insight on their hypocritical beliefs, the music is fine but it's just a watered-down version of Nine Inch Nails. the rapping is cool i guess, but it sounds like a cheap attempt to mix mainstream electronic with the dense production of El-P and the flow of Run The Jewels. it doesn't go anywhere to be honest and it comes to be really annoying ... read more
38 ratings in 5 minutes bro they truly fell off
My relationship with the Big Foo is complicated; I fucking hate some of their songs like "Everlong", but I adore their more dense approach like Wasting Light and BHWA. "Your Favourite Toy" is a really strange album. Tracks 4-9 are a intense build up to the closer, where each track gets better and better until you get hit with this banger. It would be a neat execution if some of the songs were good. The self-titled track is ... read more
(Review I originally posted on RateYourMusic)
Well, I never felt a really personal connection with the Jack Stauber's music, but I admit he created some of the weirdest jams I have ever found on the internet. Truly a master of the hypnagogic pop. But, this specific song always felt like a different thing from his entire catalog. Something I always wanted him to explore. And this video really brings it up to higher levels.
The surrealism of most part of Jack's work always was kinda ... read more
Me when I'm chopped and I can't deliver anything interesting anymore.
No, seriously, I don't know what happened to this man. He wrote some of the most gut-wrenching rock songs even not too long ago. In 2020, we already had Ode to the Mets. It feels like Julian has nothing to say or express anymore, as he got so tired of the band, which it may be his fault as he still is very possessive at the time to record. That's why that Voidz' album was a crash into horrid results. ... read more

Oh shit. I love the city where I was born, Merida. It's one of the coolest places to live as a MEXICAN (tourists go fuck off) and it has a shitton to places to explore. Each street is a different story, a corner of narratives and memories, and the ... read more
I have a somewhat lukewarm outtake from this that may come from Ignorance; I don't find anything related to ADP to be eccentric or mindblowing. I feel I listened to this before; a heavy load of senseless commercial truck car music with weird time signatures is not cool and makes Will of the People sound like the most badass thing ever. I don't get it; it's odd, chaotic and irregular and I should love this, but it's everything people says about Math Rock in a negative way: ... read more

Possibly, the most brutal and horrifying thing the midwest showcased in their odd attempt to give a little of the ingredients to shape the meaning of the blabbery word that Emo has become in the 21st century.
This is a pretty confusing record; under the magic yet shallow field ... read more

First and foremost, although I would LOVE to dissect this masterpiece... I fear we may need to have a very uncomfortable talk about your beliefs.

Hello. My name is Thomas and this writing will be different, as I'm under mortal threat right now. For those whom don't know it yet, I'm mexican, and today, the mastermind of the narcos "El Mencho" was assasinated. As a direct effect of the attacks, the entire country is under a massive siege of death, destruction, and a poor response from authorities. May this country be completely betrayed and sold by its own leaders. If I end up dying on the attacks, I hope at least ... read more

Music for people who hate music.
I don't showcase hatred too much, but this is beyond impressively tasteless; when people talk about other bands like Radiohead or Deftones, they describe it as music for manipulative people. The real profile of someone who is a bad person is a RHCP fan; I never met a good person who enjoys these chuds. Kiedis' singing is atrocious, Flea might be the most overrated bassist of all time, and John Frusciante only made good music when he was with Mars ... read more

As you are reading this, I am in a vehicle at 32 F°, so I can't write something that long nor deep. But fuck it, I missed 4 days of the challenge of the 110 Avant-Albums, and this was my most anticipated record since Zig Zag came out. And let me tell you something: this is one of the most singular and weird experiences in modern hip hop. It's not a common thing, it's a ... read more

No, that title is not bait. Arizona truly fucking sucks, and that sums up my experience with this record. When I was younger, my parents moved to Tucson some time to live there thanks to a security agency. Long short story, in 2011 someone did a mass shooting in the city and ... read more

A hell of a journey to be honest. Screamo is one of my favourite genres of all time. It's one of the few genres if you mess it up, you can't be redeemable and your music skills are negative. There are two main requests to be screamo: be vocally ... read more
