Katy Perry - WOMAN'S WORLD
9

Even if you ignore the fact that this woman empowerment song was written and produced by the guy who abused Kesha, it sounds like it was made 10 years ago

Scarcity - The Promise of Rain
85

After listening to the singles for "The Promise of Rain," I was somewhat excited for it considering it teased a combination of avant garde and atmospheric black metal that I haven't quite heard before. For me, I was mostly satisfied with this album.

I think the star of the album has to be the guitars, which will offer some harmonies that make the album sound fuller. I also love the moments on this album where the guitars sounds like multiple car alarms going off at the same ... read more

Speed - ONLY ONE MODE
80

Speed on their debut album deliver a pumpling punk project that even adds occasional singing moments to the album without sacrificing what makes it punchy. I found that this album doesn't have the issue of sounding too repetitive as the album length is on the shorter side. Additionally, vocal switch ups (clean and unclean), breakdown changes, and group chemistry do enough to keep the listeners attention. I believe "Only One Mode" is more memorable and hits harder than their last ... read more

Show Me the Body - It Burns
40

This song is pretty meh by Show Me The Body standards. The song felt like it was missing some direction sonically as the heavy instrumentals at the start of the track suddenly drop out and are replaced with less interesting electronic parts.

Courting - New Last Name
35

Courting on their sophomore LP "New Last Name" made me dissatisfied. Its messy mixing, overused autotune, basic instrumental and lyrical work left this project sounding like a worse version than a "The 1975" album. Which was bad for me considering I hate "The 1975."

Scarcity - The Promise of Rain
80

I don't like it when bands/artists release the closer for their new album as a single because it reminds me of a cheesy action movie trailer where they show quick scenes of the climax fight of the movie. However, I am satisfied with this song knowing that this is how the new Scarcity album will end. For me, the song feels a little repetitive at start, but the song really picks up especially near the end. I think ending the record with those ghostly noises is a good idea.

The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy
80

A contender for both the best rock album and the best pop album of the year. This album is so consistently strong with its beautiful vocal performances, lyrical themes, and simple but properly used instrumentals. I don't have much more to say other than listen to it.

Soulkeeper - Holy Design
85

Redux review: I keep coming back to this record. The way they use electronics don't interfere with the heavy moments of this album at all and often given the tracks more relisten ability. After listening more, I think the lack of song structures helps the songs stand out more instead of what I thought was the tracks sounding too similar to each other. The fact that this is their debut album makes me truly think this band could make the next metalcore classic.

Nails - Give Me the Painkiller
95

The production and guitar tones on this track are immaculate

Imminence - The Black
29

I have had a small amount of exposure to Imminence before "The Black,” and I can't say that I have really been blown away by them in the past. I would say they are a metalcore band that is mixed with those bands who are known for making easy to follow songs and combining both metal and other genres together in annoying ways that don't offer anything new. I will say though, that they seem like they're trying to stand out more by being both heavier, yet more melodic than ... read more

HARDY - SIX FEET UNDER (Caleigh’s Song)
15

This is basically Snuff by Slipknot but corny and bad

Kesha - JOYRIDE.
79

I prefer her sound from "Gag Order," but this track is still decent. It reminds me of her early music, but performed and written by the free adult she is now instead of the abused adult she was.

Eminem - Tobey
55

Better than "Houdini" and I like the hook a little, but I feel like this song drags a little the longer it goes

Full of Hell - Coagulated Bliss
60

From what I've heard of Full of Hell, "Coagulated Bliss" is a standard and straightforward grindcore experience from them. Other than maybe a couple moments on some tracks that were somewhat different for the band, a lot of it sounded the same. Instrumentally, this album could've gone a lot harder.

Ne Obliviscaris - Citadel
40

First time listening to Ne Obliviscaris and I honestly feel underwhelmed by "Citadel." Yes this album features some good performances, but I find the longer songs on this album to be lacking in coherence as I think the transitions aren't as smooth as they can be. I also don't really care for the violin addition to most of these tracks. I think it works better when it was on its own like on "Wyrmholes," "Reveries from the Stained Glass Womb," and ... read more

Porter Robinson - Worlds
60

This album was my first experience with Porter Robinson. While I initially loved it the first time a listened to it, after a few more relistens, I feel that "Worlds" can sound a little too straightforward and simple at times. The longer tracks feel a little bit stretched out. Porter definitely has a talent for making music as the hooks and production on this album are good and better than average EDM. Although, I think the songs could use more creativity and left hooks in the writing ... read more

Peatle - Painting (油漆)
55

Nothing bad or good about this song really stood out to me. The guitar riff throughout feels too standard and safe. The vocals aren't doing anything creative to help the track stand out as well. I think the production of the track is solid.

Thank you to @Misterpandaren for recommending this track to me.

On Dayseeker - Creature In The Black Night
"The instrumentals accompany the lyrics more properly on dark sun than this album. Like the instrumentals in Pale Moonlight are so dumb because it has lyrics about someone (potentially Rory) 'dancing with the devil' to where it's harming them, and it sounds like a radio rock song meant to motivate people. Like shouldn't the song sound sad or at least off putting?"
On Dayseeker - Creature In The Black Night
"@PoisonBow I haven't listened to dark sun in a while, I don't like either album but I think it is better than creature in the black night because the lyrics and song meanings have a bit more effort into them. Like with Parallel about his father passing away, or with Paper Hearts about Rory sharing that he has been so overwhelmed by the weight of the world that he has a suicidal thought about dying in a car crash"

"@tn3t3ta How can you hate me so much, yet know nothing about me? I’ve given a lot of metalcore albums high ratings. I recently gave the new dying wish album, a metalcore band, a rating definitely higher than a 3/10. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with me, but don’t spread misinformation."
On PRESIDENT - King of Terrors
"@RemisReviews I don’t think I’ve ever said in my life that pop vocals make something bad. For the genre comment, it is my believe that these bands are more closer to pop than metal. A lot of their songs are just pop tunes featuring metal breakdowns and basic small elements of other genres."

"a score of 50 being a "awful score" to me doesn't make any sense cause you're ignoring half of the numbers of quality you could be using to score an album (49 - 0). If you thought this album was worse than a 5/10 "middle of the road score" than you should rate it lower."
