At times, this is really good deathcore. With my first run of a Lorna Shore album, my expectations for this album were up since I've heard some positive things about it. However, my feelings are split down the middle. The positives first. Will Ramos might have cemented himself as a very talented vocalist, performing various styles of pig squeals, growls and other metal vocals that I do not the names of. The beginning and ending [especially] of Pain Remains are quite good too, with some ... read more
First contact with K-Pop music period. Can't deny that despite it not being my thing, nor see myself returning to Cosmic specifically, it is a relatively fun time.
I find this quite hilarious for a surprise release as I had only thought THE PREVIOUS DAY I want to hear a sophomore release from Uboa. A few years after her debut LP, The Origin of My Depression, it returns to that industrial, dark-sounding style Uboa has built to her own but seemingly expands out a bit to include other elements. Frightening, upsetting [in the sense that it is emotionally impactful] and loud, Uboa's second album release is quite intriguing.
Great collaboration between James Blake and Lil Yachty that experiments a lot with ambient pop and psychedelia. Sounds great and is quite soothing to listen to.
I came across Laughing's Because It's True as I was scrolling through Bandcamp finding stuff that was coming out for new releases. As this appears to be their debut album, their sound seems to be influenced by 90s alternative rock/post-grunge bands like Silverchair and Counting Crows. Gives a sort of nostalgic memory sound that is quite relaxing.
Shamefully, this is my first encounter with Lupe Fiasco, but unshamefully, it was such a great time. Great hooks, chill lo-fi influenced beats and Fiasco's performances are quite mediative. My only pet peeve with the album was with the use of phone notifications because it meant THAT I WAS CONSTANTLY CHECKING MY PHONE CAUSE I THOUGHT IT KEPT GOING OFF! But otherwise, yeah, this album has a consistent vibe.
Love Heart Cheat Code is a very nice package of fused genres (like soul, jazz, rock etc.). Catchy grooves and lovely melodies are plenty on this Hiatus Kaiyote album. Love seeing Australian artists praise (yay).
Literally don't remember a notable part of this whole album. It went in one ear, and out the other, just because my mind questioned what it was trying to interpret. And instrumentally at times, it does have something, but Camila swipes away any form of fun to be had. I notice a lot of brat comparisons too, and I don't blame them. TOO similar (but executed much worse).
Eh, I don't hate this or anything; just underwhelming. It benefits from its short runtime with a mix of some average songs and not-good tracks as well.
Tame to decent Wilco songs on this EP, but why does it have interludes? Kind of stretches out the ep longer than needed.
Audible, but awesome.
I think 95% of us have come across this album from the following; thrift shops, clearance sales, or found a record/music collection in an old relative's house (old condition). Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds is one of the most unique projects out there. Often, the idea of a "rock opera" is just a pseudonym for a concept album, but this double album has a 70s progressive operatic aura that perfectly executes the idea of using musical motifs and themes to ... read more
Idk, this style of metalcore doesn't do much for me. Just seems tame for the genre.
Why does no one talk about Shake Stew's Gris Gris? When I first heard this a year ago, I instantly fell in love with the spiritual jazz sound, and when revisiting the album, my opinions changed to even more praise. There seems to be some or heavy influence of Pharaoh Sanders in the brass instruments (which shines the brightest in this album), with the texturing, performances and force being perfection. 94 minutes of pure magic. This album NEEDS attention.
Unique art-rock sound that seems to take influences from David Bowie (vocals especially). Flashy in their sound but nothing outreaching for me.
Woah. Not what I expected at all. Madonna and Trip-Hop fuse so smoothly to where it is unexpected, but once heard, you understand it. Incredible art pop record.
SOPHIE's debut album OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES is beloved for multiple reasons, all justified. I think that with hindsight understanding her tragic death in 2021 adds sentimental value for all fans of her music, as well as those who personally knew or worked with her. I hadn't realised how influential her sound was, as I've made clear many times that I was never invested in club-style music. However, her production techniques, songwriting and quirkiness on her only ... read more
