Pinned Review
Yep. This is it. This is the best metal album I have ever listened to.
God DAMN. I don't know how to start this review, like, at all. It's been a while since I've had a first listen to an album where my jaw was just on the floor, completely in awe of what I just listened to. Man, I forgot what that felt like. Feels good.
Okay, so my introduction to Boris' music came in the form of Rock Dream, one of their live collaborations with noise artist Merzbow. I absolutely adore that thing. If I may ... read more

This has been my go-to sleep album the past few weeks, and I mean that in the most endearing way possible.
Sigur Ros has quickly become one of my favorite bands ever since I first heard them back in February. They have so many amazing albums under their belt, with their sophomore output Agaetis Byrjun being my 10th favorite album ever recorded. With the stunning vocal work of frontman Jonsi, orchastraic and grandiose instrumentation, and an overall ethereal and mythical atmosphere, there are ... read more

Die Lit but it's hyperpop.
What the fuck is this and why did I like it as much as I did? I found this album through a lot of promotion from Fraxiom's twitter and the fact that Dylan Brady (aka Daddy Gec) was one of the main producers on the LP. Knew nothing about the artist, didn't listen to any of the singles going in, and... yeah, if hyperpop is an official term now, than this is hyperrap. This goes fucking CRAZY. The production can be really overblown and messy in a lot of songs, and a lot ... read more

Time to join the hivemind weeeeeee
I went into this thinking it'd actually be good. Blasphemy, I know, but hear me out. I thought Dynamite was a really great single when it first came out. Still do, for some reason- chorus is really catchy, decent vocal work from the group throughout, and... yeah, as far as k-pop goes, that may be my favorite song in the genre (from what little knowledge I have of it, keep in mind.) That was the only single I heard leading up to this release, but hey, if I ... read more

A haiku to sum up my thoughts on this release before I listen:
YESSIR NEW KING GIZZ
FMB VOLUME TWO YEAH
WOO-OO-OO-OO-OO
Yeah I'm hyped as fuck.
ACTUAL REVIEW: Gonna keep this a little short because I'm tired and I'm kinda having writer's block... first listen had me underwhelmed, but after a few replays, I really like it. Sure, it doesn't exactly sound like anything new from a band that constantly attempts (and usually succeeds at) something new, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jamming ... read more

Oh boy, it's finally here! The long-awaited third output from Belarusian dark synth powerhouse Molchat Doma!! And... it's good, but not much more than that.
Yeah, this was definitely up there with one of the most hyped albums of 2020 for me. Their last album, Etazhi, is easily one of my favorite albums of the past decade. It has a very dark atmosphere, but with some of the coolest melodies and hooks you'll ever find in a synth album, almost like an Eastern European Joy Division. But this this ... read more
