Feels more like a very well-curated playlist than a true album, but that's sort of what Kevin was going for if I'm not mistaken. While not every song was to my taste, most were. I loved the Quadeca songs, and I loved quite a few other songs. I can't say i'm a huge fan of the albums one single in "Geezer" with Dominic Fike however, and I'm not sure why they decided to give the best rapper on this whole project a song less than a minute long
While the singles failed to fully sway me in either direction, I think the final product is actually quite good.
It isn't a Melodrama or even probably a Pure Heroine, but Lorde continues to master the art of poetically personal storytelling. The production tries to do its best Jack Antonoff at times, but still remains unique at others.
If I had a major critique, I wish some songs were longer. They're all quite short, never surpassing 5 minutes. Some of the sonic and lyrical ideas ... read more
Might have been JUST so eeeever slightly more impressed if I listened to this earlier into my music discovery journey; Even still, a really good Emo/Noise Rock album.
The major standout here is quite handedly the epic "History of Iron Maiden Pt. 1," but I actually quite liked the follow up Pt. 0.5 as well for it's quirky synth style
Becoming more and more convinced that Geese are the single most inventive and talented Rock band alive
The production is AWESOME and the performances are pretty great, but it represents some of my least favourite elements of Horrorcore.
Lyrically, it feels like it's trying VERY hard to be evil and twisted and satanic and horrific and all that but that kind of overt writing style doesn't work all that well for me. One song is about brutally killing a guy, and then the next song is about killing a guy, and then the next one is about killing some guys and then the next song is about ... read more
The more youthful and fun-loving sister release to the later Fame Monster album/EP/deluxe edition/whatever it is. While The Fame Monster is more measured and tightly constructed, "The Fame" has a much larger emphasis on clubby sounds and less mature lyrics. While the songs on this album CAN be catchy, they're many. While I liked quite a few songs (especially Gagas vocals), I'm probably close to apathetic towards more of them
One of those special records that feels like it shouldn't or couldnt have been created, but here it is
Literally not even anything worth commenting on, just shitty AI slop and lazy Soul sampling. Beyond washed
Drumless Hip Hop HATES to see Pharrell Williams coming. This is Drumful Hip Hop if I've ever heard it. The experimental beats really only falter for me a couple times in some of the more extreme instances (such as in Ego and Comedy Central). Most of the time, the minimalistic and unpredictable beats only heighten the incredible rapping performances from Pusha T and No Malice.
The subject matter was kept fairly fresh. The expected lines women are definitely there, and they mention dealing ... read more
Not as hardcore or rapid as Knocknarea; A more somber and sobering experience
Argentinian New Wave is NOT a subgenre I was aware existed, but Soda Stereo is a newly discovered band I can jump into what would (according to user scores) seem to be a VERY solid catalogue
I tend to agree with the reviews of this album that argue that the album really finds its footing towards the end. The style of "Evangelic Girl is a Gun" hits somewhere akin to Imogen Heap to my ears, with their voice reminding me of Beabadoobee (likely mostly due to the British accent)
he wants to be Bruce Springsteen soooooo baaaaad. The posing in front of the American Flag cover, the sort of Pop Rock vibe; I mean Young American Heart (the song) literally sounds like Dancing in the Dark. The difference being that I don't think there's a shred or irony in this music
I think the craziest part is that MAYBE it could have felt more genuine if every song didn't need to be cranked up to 11 and almost all times. EVERY song needs REVERB and CHOIR and GRAND STRINGS ... read more
It was ALLLL over once white people got ahold of Funk music. You can't say that the album isn't somewhat ahead of it's time but you CAN say that it sounds dated
Certainly one of the most iconic Funk albums of all time, and quite possibly one of the best. While I prefer the pure freedom of "Curtis," Super Fly is still a fantastic album AND soundtrack that I can only imagine compliments the film
While I liked it, it felt somewhat "clean" for a Punk release. I'm not sure if I just have no idea what I'm talking about, but for all the quirks and slamming riffs, I would have liked a bit more "punch" if that makes any sense
3D Country came out around when I first started getting really into music, so it escaped my radar in terms of music releases. After thoroughly enjoying Cameron Winter's solo work, I once again had the great opportunity to discover Geese.
Nothing about this album conforms to ANY rules; be it someone else's or even their own. They're doing whatever they want, which results in this utterly compelling and cohesive Punk-Country-Rock album
A mess of distortion and bass with some uniquely quirky songwriting. The instrumentation might not always be super complex but it IS very catchy and very effective when it wants to be (and it does want to be)
Sounds VERY modern for its sound. I was sure this came out in the 90's because of how much it sounds of that era. Regardless, an absolute classic of a Punk record
