Blasts of noise taken to the extreme and beyond what I can comprehend.
Flagman's newest release "Tastes Incredible" really shines out from the rest of their discography, speeding things up a notch with less downtime shown on previous records. Wild, beyond energetic and straight to the point, every song keeps up with the anxiety-inducing, bad trip-esque metal sound the band is known for with previous cult tracks (Dummy, Bumblebee for example), but with an even more aggressive and jumpy ... read more
"Overall, this record is very sensitive, enough to make any teenage girl swoon." - Matt of Decapolis Records, 2000.
Recorded across eight days in January 2000 and released in June of the same year on Decapolis, "Throws Like a Girl" is the essential pop punk record. Across the album's twelve tracks, it's full of emotion, heavy instrumentation and savagely clever lyrics, ranging from relationship trouble to the problem of divorce to... stealing your friends N64. How ... read more
"Revenge Fantasies of the Impotent" is a real red herring in the Alice Donut catalog, showing a completely new sound for the band.
Recorded in late '90 and released the following year, Revenge Fantasies of the Impotent is an entirely left-field album, with a drastic sound change from the classic "Frank Zappa-esque punk" sound of the band to a grittier, noisier and drawn out dynamic. Tom's iconic shouty vocals are now just another sound to the wall of noise, buried in the ... read more
this album sounds like you downloaded a soundcloud rapper's mixtape at 32kbps put it on a hard drive and buried it for 4 years before recovering it
This album should be kept in a museum listed under the "mankind's terrible achievements" category
I have no idea how this album is so absolutely perfect. It's the most chaotic mess of saxophone, atonal guitar notes, and nihilistic lyricism that all fits tightly in this album's 35-minute runtime. I rarely hear "jazzcore" albums that actually fuse hardcore and jazz together so cleanly and perfectly.
Now, 2 Bad is a band I definitely was aware of a while before ... read more
I've never dove into post-rock before or really checked it out, but god damn this inclines me to check out more of it. Almost an hour of beautiful and powerful instrumentation that really hits you with emotion. It feels just as powerful and full as an entire orchestra, despite the band only being 4 people. There's no aspect or second of this record that feels out of place or "wrong". It all comes together and works perfectly to hit you with both sadness and motivation all at the same ... read more
This album puzzles me a bit. I feel as if the narrow parts of the album that need work aren't really there, it's a pretty fleshed out album, but the thing holding it back would probably be the awkward choices and usages of certain mechanics (the vocals on the title track, for example) and how they fit with the other parts of the album. However past the point of that, it's a solid, short little album that I feel has a gutpunching arrangement of tracks and an even better atmosphere.

There's no aspect of this album which isn't perfect and/or classic. Track for track beauty and the greatest ideas all used for the Beatles last recorded album release. The timeless factor of this album really shows, it's been 50+ years and it still sounds fresh and modern. Classic and perfect album all around.
Favorite track: I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Try not to stutter!
"Betrayal, Fear, Anger, Hatred", is the debut EP by Canadian punk band Nomeansno. Originally released in 1981, it comprised only brothers John and Rob Wright, as the band was only a duo for the first couple years. It was self-released by the band on 7-inch vinyl, with only 300 copies pressed, so getting an original copy of this is pretty rare!
For the band's first actual work (if you don't count their debut single), it's a solid and atmospheric little EP, only ... read more
Revenge..... Revenge.....
In 1982, Nomeansno released their debut album "Mama" on their own record label, having only 500 vinyl copies pressed. The album, although not being a mainstream success, was received very well by local critic publications. The album consisted of only bassist Rob Wright and drummer John Wright, with minimal guitar overdubs across the entire album. The album cover had featured lettering done by a guitarist named Andy Kerr, and after Andy's last band "The ... read more
What do you want me to even say about this
This is such a brain-numbing release from these two absolute goofballs. It's just crooning and mindless rambling over, at best, okay beats. Track after track, they're just mumbling random and occassionally, hilarious nonsense, then roll on as if they didn't say the most confusing line. It's such a musical train wreck and it's both hilarious and terrifying at the same time
favorite song: none
When Eminem announced he would return with a new album, everyone was super excited to see what the new album would entail, as his previous release 4 years prior, the MMLP2, was unexpectedly a lot better than the other weird stuff he dropped before that (ex. Relapse and Recovery)
Then it came out. Revival.
And you already know how it turned out, critics and audiences BASHED this thing dead only a few days after release, and Eminem reacted out in a new LP just a year later, said LP being ... read more
Limp Bizkit's return to music since their 2011 album "Gold Cobra" is... well, better than I expected
I was expecting this thing to suck (like the title implies) but, I think it's quite a decent return of studio material from the band, considering they're one of, if not the most hated nu metal band because of their classic dumpster fire albums like Results May Vary and whatnot.
Favorite tracks: Dad Vibes, Goodbye
least favorite: Empty Hole
Absolutely phonomenal album by Poop Fart Dude. Every track delivers an absolutely beautiful hook and flow to get you immersed among the tracklist, and it tells an amazing story among Poop Land and it's many disciples.
favorite song: Wesley's Theory
Yeah this is a REAL fall-off from the band, I thought Centipede was an actual banger of a song but these other songs are just terrible
Not very good to me. Some of the riffs are stolen from other songs, especially "World Up My Ass" which directly steals the riff from Gimme Sopor by Angry Samoans
Another usual banger from the Steakknife gang. This one is WAY better than the earlier albums they've released, and they take on a more punky sound with fast riffs and weird riffs (usually panned left or right). Lee brings more angrier (and more goofier) vocals on this, with occasional backing vocals from the other members. This album has a lot more favorite songs than their other releases, and honestly overall, it's an perfect album
