When I was younger, I thought goth people were all listening to, like, heavy Death Metal and stuff but they're actually bumping bangers like this
For a Korean group in 2024, it's impressive how some of the songs sound like they could have been made during the rock genres prime. On the other hand, a lot of the songs really only could have been made today, benefiting from years of technical and technological evolution
The more interesting sounding sister album to the other Museum Music. I do think the album could do with a bit of filler cutting, which is saying something considering that it's only 33 minutes long
based off of what I read, I guess this is like one half of the bigger "Museum Music" album along with the other album of the same name released under his main Edward Skeletrix name. I'm not sure if there is an...order or anything but I was going to listen to the other right after anyways.
It's okay. I'm not a huge fan of this particular rapping style, BUT I will say that the production is pretty awesome, mixing varying levels of distortion with odd melodies and effects
I've never heard a singing voice like this before it almost sounds like ASMR and I kinda fw it
Browsing through some end of year album lists brought me to Chanel Beads, and it did not disappoint. That might be the seeming minority opinion on the album, but I found the sparse, sparkling sounds to really drag me in and take me on a very short but memorable journey
Beats still hold up very well, but some of his rapping will be FAR improved once he starts under the JPEGMAFIA name
I love Lola's voice and she can make some really catchy songs, however I have some personal gripes with the songwriting.
Basically every song seems to be about a very messy breakup/relationship and Lola is not afraid to express her true feelings of anger and regret. I think this can be a really good thing, but I found that the lyrics came off less cathartic than they should have been. Instead, I felt like I was listening to a friend constantly falling into the same bad habit no matter ... read more
One of the most surprising releases of the year: a legacy band actually releases a really good album. Honestly, it's definitely up there with the groups best
One of the most iconic live albums ever. The live element adds so much to the listening experience. Cash gives an electric performance with so much natural charisma just pouring out of him. The crowd is rowdy and I find it very charming how he treated them with so much respect. Cash's blatant rebellion against the system is so great, picking songs specifically about how much the prison system sucks and giving little care to the whims of the record label. legend
"Black Pleasure" feels like it's clouded in a dense layer of mist.
Of anything I've ever heard, this mixtape might be the most dedicated to a vibe. Vibes often make way for a bit of repetition, which I think is the only thing that dragged down an otherwise awesome project
I do not like how The 1975 structure their songs. They feel aimless and Matty Healy feels like he's singing about nothing for several minutes straight each song.
I'm far from a hater of "mainstream" pop. Lorde is one of my favourite artists, and I enjoy lots of palatable music, but something about this dry, poppy synth stuff just rubs me the wrong way. I feel like this is what all pop music sounds like to pop haters. mostly uninspired and uninteresting like what an ... read more
Cited as being an influence for Tame Impala, which you can definitely hear in his earlier works. The difference with these two artists though is that Tame Impala started making music in the 2000's whereas Todd Rundgren made this album in 19...SEVENTY-TWO?? Like WHAT??
"A Wizard, a True Star" is a colossal, psychedelic achievement that packs in a dense track list of mostly shorter songs to make the album a flowing and ever-evolving entity. The technical prowess is insanely ... read more
I don't want to say that it's "poppier" than Songs for the Deaf, but "...Like Clockwork" is definitely not afraid of embracing a greater sense of cinematics and grandiosity in leu of a straightforward Hard Rock album. The bands constant experimentation with their sound still pays off; it still sounds great
I think that this album and the idea behind it mean a lot going forward for women in music. They can be honest and messy and angry and vulnerable at the same time. It definitely holds its own as a Grunge staple, but the messiness does tend to get in the way at parts
Shout out to Rockstar Games because my first exposure to Phantogram was the Grand Theft Auto V in-game radio station. Crazy how much really good and underground music the game was putting a bunch of 13 year old's onto I mean they can't even RECOGNIZE the heat
