this album is really phenomenal and is basically kill bill at his most vulnerable. almost cried at a couple of songs, honestly.
good to see he still has it after that collab album. this is just as good as fullmetal kaiju, if not better.
highlights for me were "animidnight" and "joyce".
one more bad single and I'll be forced to stop Strokin' It™
don't make me do it mr julian
i think father john misty is a really talented guy and one of the best artists of this generation in terms of conveying feelings
i'll just leave it at that
i'm really sleepy and tired rn so im basically hallucinating at this point
but wake her up is like the best thing i've ever heard for some reason i can't even tell
if you're a rock artist and you use more autotune than travis scott that might mean something bad idk
anyways my hopes have been shattered
There are NO WORDS to describe how I was left feeling after I heard this for the first time.
And even after listening to it about a dozen times by now, it still makes me cry whenever I do it again. Every. Single. Time.
I really hope she comes back (and I also hope I can put out a full review of this absolute masterpiece before she does :p)
Throughout most of this whole album, I had 2 questions that simply could not get out of my mind:
1 - Why exactly is Kanye in this track?
2 - Why did he do this specific thing with this sample?
And I guess those two questions are also kind of my opinion itself on the album. Ye's lyricism is decent at its best and terrible at its worst, flows are forgettable and a lot of the songs from the mid-leg of this project just sound the same due to the production.
And speaking of production, not ... read more
(WRITTEN BEFORE LISTENING)
i'll review this soon, but please, if you know you'll be biased against this release (or any release at all for that matter), don't even bother reviewing/bombing it. haven't even listened to it yet but i know for a fact i'm always able to separate artist/art. and if someday i can't, i'll notice it and just refrain from reviewing.
(ACTUAL REVIEW)
after a couple EPs, i feel like lovejoy have finally found their sound, and after ... read more
honestly, it's shaping up to be my album of the year. i don't think i want it to be but the three singles were just straight up bangers.
it's giving me arctic monkeys and interpol vibes in the best way possible, even if i'm not the biggest arctic monkeys fan
will 100% be doing an in depth review of the album
I can't believe I didn't review this before. Sad timing, but I do think this album is a 10/10. Also, just a reminder: it's 55 YEARS old, and there's still few to no metal albums that could reach the influence this one had.
And of course, R.i.P to Ozzy. A true legend who will never be forgotten.
I DO NOT condone Wilbur's actions. One of the cases where I can separate the art from the artists.
Now, for the song itself, it fucking slaps. That bass is killer. I wish they did a little more on the verses tho, and that drum could be mixed a little bit lower. Banger anyway.
