From the band that brought you the brilliant Ummon, comes this brand new album, Fantasia! Definitely one of my higher anticipated albums for the rest of the year in this one!
The title track opens the album and in a gloriously heavy way! Loud shrieking from Jean Fossat accompanies a beautiful synthy odyssey of a nine minute opener! The title track directly segues into Corrupted Sky which is another excellent jammer of a track! It just rules! The Village is another excellent jammer! Storm of ... read more
My first Vince Staples record! Yes! My very first Vince Staples record! I’ve heard him on features before and he’s a brilliant lyricist. Can’t wait to see what he brings to the table!
Blackberry Marmalade, the leading single to this album, is genuinely one of my favorite hip hop songs of the year so far! I love the flow that Vince has on here and it has possibly the catchiest chorus of the year with the frantic “Promise me you won’t gun me down”. Saying ... read more
As a person who saw this special the night it dropped, had the album spinning on repeat the whole summer after the special came out, and now owns the deluxe box set vinyl of the album, I can with confidence say, that this might be the greatest comedy album I’ve ever heard. It’s a perfect look at what 2020 was like. A desolate, scary, and most of all, depressing time in my life. What Bo shows here is truly a knack for songwriting, that of which we hadn’t seen from him before. ... read more
Is this potentially the most dystopian 1984 ass shit I’ve ever heard?…not far off
Titanium isn’t bulletproof unless we’re discussing stronger forms of titanium, but even that is very limited in its endurance to a bullet. Not scientifically accurate lyrics, 0
(This is satire)
*Insert video of MaccDanny laughing his ass off at how burger this is*
TennisThom, you better get to studying!
Boards Of Canada! Famous IDM, downtempo, hauntology group Boards of Canada returns with their first record in over a decade and with this brand new albums comes an exquisite amount of excitement. I’ve never really listened to a lot of Boards, not because I haven’t been interested in them, but I feel like their music requires a certain place and time for me. I know for most, they’re something that can just casually be spun, with me, it ... read more
There’s always a standout when it comes to Xiu Xiu albums with me. With Knife Play, it’s Tonite and Today. With A Promise, it’s Fast Car! With this one, it’s absolutely and undeniably Clowne Towne for me! That song is terrific! This album as a whole though is brilliant! Xiu Xiu hasn’t made a single disappointing album that I’ve heard so far! It’s all been brilliant so far. This album continues the trend of bleak, depressing, disturbing music, touching ... read more
After releasing “So Much Country ‘Til We Get There” I was wondering what their follow up would be. I was hoping for a debut album, but I didn’t know we were getting it this soon! This is so exciting!!! I thought So Much Country was a very great display of ability from the up and coming indie rock band! This single is excellent! It’s just an excellent little indie rock cut that works for me!
It’s pretty cool to see Vince delving into a somewhat rarely seen subgenre of hip hop in rap rock. This is an excellent slower cut that works in favor of this upcoming album as much as Blackberry Marmalade was. It may be slower than Blackberry Marmalade, but its production is still great and the lyrics are still excellent! This is quickly becoming one of my highest anticipated albums for the rest of the year so far!
This is definitely better than Rock Music, but there’s something that Rock Music does better than this, and that’s be interesting. This is just boring to me. This is better than Rock Music, but it’s pretty bland and pretty boring.
J. Peg. Mafia. A man who, in recent years has established himself as a staple of the underground rap scene and has become a must listen artist numerous times with the likes of Offline, All My Heroes Are Cornballs, I Lay My Life Down For You, and his collaboration with Danny Brown, Scaring The Hoes all being mentioned in the discussion of some of the best hip hop albums of the century so far. And while this brand new rollout hasn’t been his most popular or successful so far, I personally ... read more
Dare I say, one of the greatest pop rock songs ever. This wildly outdoes its far more famous cover by Amy Winehouse. This just rules
I saw this album particularly rave reviews upon its original release, so I figured, why not, let’s check it out. But rather than breaking this one down track by track, I figured I’d just take this album as a collective experience.
Jazz. Metal. Two genres which seemingly can’t really coexist comfortably together. Sure, there’s Prog Metal, which can feature instruments also featured in jazz. As far as I know, there’s no such thing as Jazz Metal. Why do I bring up ... read more
Taking this one as a recommendation from the one and only Anthony Mellonious Fantano.
We open with Quintessential Fixed Width Unfoldment which is this lengthy, often beautiful, quite heavy opener. It’s atmospheric, it’s smooth, it can be both loud and soft equally well. It can balance metal and ambient music! It truly is just an excellent opener. Balam =^..^= Says IPv09082024 Strawberry Head…what a title, is a pretty good track. It’s full of glitches. It’s kind ... read more
I’ve made my thoughts on contemporary/bro/party country pretty well known. It’s in a fucking dire state and is making country as a whole genre look horrible. Mind you, country has produced some of the most beautiful songs ever made. Its association with folk music has led to some of the most gorgeously made and written music ever made. But contemporary country is a mountain of shit. There’s little to no contemporary country that I actually find to be tolerable or listenable. ... read more
A brand new political hip hop album from Genesis Owusu! I’ve never heard an album from Genesis Owusu, but I’m certainly interested!
We open with Pirate Radio, which is this punchy, politically charged opener, that genuinely, to me, sounds like he’s sampling the drum part for Lovefingers by Silver Apples, which is absolutely badass! But even if it didn’t sample it, it’s still a badass opener! I loved it! Stampede is a really catchy song! Genuinely a great song! ... read more
