His choppy flow, cringey bars, awful hooks, recycled song ideas and annoying attitude is still here for a lot of these songs, but there are a few truly amazing songs sprinkled in here as well.
You Gon Learn, Yah Yah, Darkness, I Will, and the first two tracks are genuinely great Eminem songs.
The rest of this track list ranges from okay, to mediocre, to god awful.
My least favorite Eminem song of all time lands on this album with “step dad” and god what is it with him and all of ... read more
Extremely over hated. I love how long and repetitive a lot of these songs are, it really puts me in a trance. This album is extremely stripped back, cold, and almost feels devoid of human touch.
This is the only daft punk album that feels very mechanical, like it was actually made by robots. Robot Rock and Technologic are two of my favorite Daft Punk songs ever, the only track I don't really care for here is Television Rules the Nation.
Their worst album being this great is very impressive.
This was so close to being a masterpiece, the first half is so strong and had some of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard.
Otis may be my favorite sample flip of all time, Paris is an all time classic and no church is so powerful and feels like the perfect grand introduction to a high art hip hop album from two of the best rappers to ever live period.
The second half falls off pretty hard, from forgettable songs and verses to down right cringe (I JUST CANT STOP) and songs that annoy me ... read more
This album is so meticulously crafted, well produced, perfectly executed and as left field as JPEGMAFIA has ever gone and every single experimental risk works.
I like this more than Vetran by a pretty large margin, I love the atmospheric songs like beta male strategies and I love the melodic songs like grimy waifu. It’s beyond impressive these songs all exists on the same album and feel like pieces to a very complicated puzzle.
In other words, an extremely disappointing release from ... read more
My copy of the vinyl came in the mail this week, and I admittedly wasn’t expecting too much. I can confidently say this is my favorite project of theirs since Bride to Quiet, or maybe even Centipede Hz.
An An Angel starts the album with these glistening synths layered with this very peaceful (yet chaotic in classic animal collective fashion) acoustic guitar that makes the instrumental sound like it is existing in the clouds. Avey’s voice has this angelic effect on it that brings ... read more
Space Heavy sounds like sitting alone by the lake in the middle of the night, thinking about your fond and distant memories by moonlight.
I just love the atmosphere of this album. It feels so dark and peaceful, king krule’s voice fits this production in a way that is deeply soothing.
His voice floats over these jazzy instrumentals like he is a bass instrument, and whenever I decide to dig into his lyrics they are poetic and ethereal.
Seagirl, Our Vacuum, If Only It Was Warmth, and ... read more
Black Country, New Squid?
This blew me away. It feels much more…. Focused and serious that their first record in the best way possible.
The charm and looseness in the lead singer’s voice is what made me love their debut, the charm is still here but it is shrouded in much darker instrumentation with a new type of power to his voice that was absolutely gripping on every song.
The jazz elements were infused nicely and kraut-rock influences on Siphon Song really surprised me. There ... read more
The only animal collective album I can’t get into. I am even a fan of their very early stuff like danse, but there’s something about this that leaves me feeling indifferent.
There’s a lot of songs here I really don’t like (panic) and some that I don’t mind as much (infant dressing table).
I may come around one day; but for now it’s just abrasive, loud and annoying with splashes of a unifying primal sound in avey’s voice that I like. This is a very ... read more
This has become my one and only true comfort album. It feels like sitting beside a warm fire in the winter, with all of the magical childhood nostalgia you can muster up swarming around in your mind.
This record is truly something special.
OKAY LETLETLETLETLETLETLETGO
this album packs a fucking punch. Maybe my most listened to Animal Collective album. It has this electric energy that feels like it’s from an alien parent while also having this warm comforting feeling from childhood.
The lyrics on this album really resonate with me, Moonjock is about being in the backseat with your parents as a child going on vacations. Reminiscing on that as an adult feels so bittersweet; just like this intro with its loud driving ... read more
This is one of the most primal, energetic and cryptic albums from early Animal Collective. I enjoy it much more than Ark and about the same as Danse, the drumming and intensity of some of the sounds found throughout this record make for a very dark and abrasive listen; but it really works.
Pun fully intended, but this album pulls something out of me that feels sort of animalistic. Like howling at the moon or some kind of caveman ritual beside a fire. There is also moments here that feel full of ... read more
This album is definitely over hated. It’s probably their worst album, but it really feels to be focusing on the production and less on the songs and MC Ride’s performance. There are some really high highs on here like the intro, birds, feels like a wheel and the title track (yes, the chaotic noises on this one really do something for me) then there are moments that feel like a really interesting idea but they just don’t translate over that well as a song.
The only reason this ... read more
One of their many masterpieces. It took me years to fully appreciate and understand this album.
I always was intrigued by it, but at first there was only a handful of songs I liked with one or two I became obsessed with.
Over the span of the next three years, I became obsessed with every single song on this album at different times. Then I started to read the lyrics once I got the vinyl and I understood how well it flowed as a full listen front to back.
I feel like my words fail to explain ... read more
Pretty good for a sound track. Works a lot better in the context of the movie than it does just listening to it by itself.
Hummingbird was actually a pretty solid song and I thought the intro with the Wayne verse and swae lee hook worked really well together. It’s no sunflower, but that Wayne verse was actually really sick. He was spitting like this wasn’t a soundtrack to a kids movie and the Spider-Man references made me laugh.
There’s just too many moments where there ... read more
This gave me the feeling I got when I first discovered 100 gecs years ago. There is creativity and fun oozing out of every one of these songs. Every song here felt so alive and had me moving along and smiling while listening to it with my girlfriend, I really love this and I can’t wait to see what they release next.
The uzi feature was cool and I actually think it really worked. This feels like crystal castles with a modern twist with more of a …. Trance feeling?
Even with all ... read more
It’s not for me, but I do respect it.
This is the most interesting thing this band has ever done and I really think the meshing of genres was cool. It felt unbearably corny at times but it has heart so I can look past it.
My introduction to disco. I loved everything about this.
It felt like if Dua Lipa made groovy disco music. Everything feels so polished and bright; almost every song here was absolute ear candy.
The slower songs here didn’t do much for me but they were still very pretty. I’ll probably be listening to this all summer.
The first three songs on here had me completely hooked, the melody on pearls is so catchy and free yourself is nothing short of an anthem.

"@Shayden I am a huge beach boys fan. So I’m kind of confused as to why I feel this way. It almost feels like they’re covering beach boys songs I haven’t heard before, and something about it just doesn’t maintain my interest
They do have some great songs and singles though, but for a whole album I wish they had more of their own identity.
Merriweather Post Pavilion is a great example of an album that takes heavy Brian Wilson influence in the best way possible but really has its own identity and creates very unique art from it.
This just leaves me feeling uninterested"

"@MatveyRyazanov sounds like you, along with a lot of his fans, have your mind made up. They found book(s) with naked little boys in his room. This is confirmed.
He was a grown man who had a roster of little boys that would sleep in his bed with him. There is no world where this is appropriate,
He had a bell security system above the bed that he would lay with the little boys in that would go off if someone was coming up to the room.
There is testimony from more than just one kid. There was a little boy who was able to identify an allopecia mark on his penis. Also confirmed, but not used at the time of the trial. Those involved with the trial believed that if this penis evidence was used in court the jury may have had a harder time."

I was in the exact same boat as you when I found him a few years ago, I was just telling my fiance that he has 3-5 songs in his discography that are pure magic and some of the best songs anyone has ever made in country.
Pink skies is probably my favorite from him"
On 21 Savage - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS?
"@FalconGM on second listen today I’m not enjoying this nearly as much as I did last night tbh so this isn’t a hill I’m going to die on 😂😂
But I still like it around the same if not more than American dream. American dream has higher highs but the love songs / sentimental songs put me to sleep. And this album is easier to just put it on and drive bc it stays kinda menacing the whole way through until the last song"
On 21 Savage - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS?
"@FalconGM the only one I like more is savage mode 2
American dream had good songs but was sleepy
I feel the same about I AM, an the rest has just been mid and boring
This one to me is fun to listen to. I like these beats , feels like a back to basics approach and it works."

People like you are why people want to use that word again, policing people’s speech like this will only make them want to say it more. And who knows? Maybe scrim is mentally slow and has some diagnosis so he can say it as a slur he’s recaptured. lol.
