Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
100

"this is a forward for godspeed
nobody we know owns anything
many of us will never own anything at all
we're tired of feeling bewildered
tired of helplessness
we want many, many things to end soon
these times, when everything is denied us
anything is possible
but everyday stubborn, clumsy, beautiful ideas
drop on the withering vine
we're tired of this state of affairs
we call to end paranoia, self-intimidation and fear
meanwhile, the world spins
as if nothing has happened at ... read more

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
100

it's albums like this one that define not just one year in the history of a music genre, but the whole future of it as a whole.

Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
80

(70->80) maybe it's better than i gave it credit for...

Red Velvet - The Red
90

Sometimes, catchiness is all you need.

100

34 minutes of pure ass-kicking.

Huremic - Seeking Darkness
50

(60->50) While I appreciate the incredible effort Parannoul put into this album, in my opinion he still has to improve in a lot of aspects (mixing and song structures among other things) to make a post-rock and noise album, that doesn't make my ears to just turn off.

Racing Mount Pleasant - Racing Mount Pleasant
90

It's not really BCNR like some people suggest, but it's just as good, if not better.

Deftones - private music
80

Deftones' best output since 2000's "White Pony".

Joanna Newsom - Ys
90

"Ys" definitely demands a lot from the listener. But if somebody can pay attention to all the lyrics and decipher their meaning, they will receive an absolutely heart-wrenching story. Combined with the surreal and progressive-chamber folk instrumentals, and this is an album like no other.

Ethel Cain - Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You
90

poignant sequel-prequel to ethel cain's alter ego.

Towers Of Dismay - The Redundant Jeremiad
NR

New album is out! Thank you to anyone that supports me through AOTY :)

Vylet Pony - Love & Ponystep
50

While there are some interesting ideas and sounds on "Love & Ponystep", I can't help but feel like this album was made for the most annoying Geometry Dash extreme demons... Though if I'm wasted at the club and they play this, It's going down.

Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out
90

God sorted em out, alright.

Car Seat Headrest - The Scholars
80

If one person holds the wheel, the car is most likely stable; if four people hold it together, the car is bound to make some weird turns. However, CSH still manage to steer it carefully enough and put out some of their most lyrically focused and progressive work thus far.

Weatherday - Hornet Disaster
90

Even with the 75 minute runtime, "Hornet Disaster" is an improvement on all fronts from "Come In", especially in the songwriting and production department. While I admit, lo-fi sound is what made Weatherday stand out, I do like the cleaner and more polished sound of this album.

青葉市子 [Ichiko Aoba] - Luminescent Creatures
90

Ichiko Aoba crossed a new threshold of etherealness on "Luminescent Creatures".

yeule - Evangelic Girl is a Gun
70

a bit more mature and anthemic songwriting helps "Evangelic Girl is a Gun" rise above its predecessor.

yeule - softscars
60

though "softscars" offers some interesting sounds with great production, the more experimental and glitch pop tracks were perfected 20 years ago. "dazies" is pretty fire tho.

Kashways - Purple Oryx
60

the sound needs some polishing and more focus, but production and vocals were great.

Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique - The Storm
70

A lot of ambition and heart, a lot of effort and some great results. <3

"maybe siouxsie was not the best example, but you get the point lol (was trying to think of an 80s artist)"
On Sayori's review of Magdalena Bay - Second Sleep / Star Eyes
"@KadeCaptain If we're talking "all-time" in the context of musical artists and bands, yes, they are absolutely new and still fresh in the musical landscape. To call them "one of, if not the greatest musical act" is a big stretch imo, even in just the psychedelic scene with bands like Pink Floyd, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Flaming Lips, Animal Collective, etc etc. I am not denying how great MB are, but I think we should wait to call them things like "the greatest", "the best" and so on."

"@Kellan rosemary and showing in las vegas were really cool, title track had some great movements, but both the beginning and ending are the roughest parts of the album, especially the last song - felt like it had no real direction and made it boring and tedious to get through it."

"@Mellesteen well, it's obviously not complete. just like they released only the third part of "Anthem for No State", this is the third part of the longest song on the album. if you want to be spoiled, you can listen to the band playing the new material live to hear the whole song."
