first review in 4 months ! ! ! !

I'm biased as hell, openly. I hate kanye. I hate his voice. I hate him. I hate everything he stands for. This does affect the review. Flat out i cannot in good faith promote anything he does. But, i have my reasons for hating him MUSICALLY. His voice is actually so fucking grating that it lowers any given songs rating by at least 10 points. It doesn't matter to me if the production is ... read more

i cannot believe this was written, produced, recorded, and mixed without a single semblance of competency.

AJR 3 of 5

AJR's Neotheater. I love this album, it definitely has its lows, but the lows arent as low as anything off of Living Room or The Click. Although I do think that Neotheater is far better than the previous two albums, this one is usually less palatable to people I've shown it to. Even if they hated The Click, they tend to remember that one better, and say that it was a better listen simply because the album made them pay attention. They do say that Neotheater is better than ... read more

This definitely reminds me of grandson's older works. Songs that were production wise, pretty good, but mixed with some pretty mixed lyrics and overly edgy themes, along with a difficult to like character thrown in. This porject is definitely saved by the fact that it is an EP. If this were a full 13 song album, it would drag on for so fucking long. The themes and lyrics are just too similar to really get much more than these 5 songs out of them, and even these 5 were ... read more

AJR 2 of 5

Unlike Living Room, which I hadn't actually sat down and listened to in its entirety, I've listened to every other AJR album more than I should probably admit to this website. I already like all of these albums, and honestly I'm more or less doing this just to critically think about these albums, and why I like them so much, things that I would change, or just straight up remove.
----------------------------------
So, whats my actual opinion about this album? I like ... read more

AJR 1 of 5

I'll just preface this review by saying that I really like AJR. I understand what that says about me, so take everything that I say with a grain of salt. I've never really liked this album, so I expect nothing in terms of quality.
So, without further ado, an AJR review written by the lowest common denominator of music listener

I feel like that my song reviews themselves are relatively negative, and then ... read more

'Too Late to Start Over' is by far Arrested Youth's best work. Although I do have a later mentioned soft spot for their earlier work, objectively it isn't anything that good. This album, although not breaking any boundaries in what it does, is incredibly solid. I hope that Arrested Youth continues to explore this part of music production, although some return to older styles would be a nice thing too.

The calculated score based on song ratings is a 75, but considering how ... read more

I Love You, I'm Trying is grandson's sophomore album. I think its his best work overall, and reduces on the overly edgy aspects of Death Of An Optimist. Besides 2-3 weaker tracks, the album stays consistent in quality. For being such a short album, it utilizes its time very well.
Mathematical Rating: 77.3
My Actual Rating: 90
I don't think that Eulogy, When The Bomb Goes, and Murderer bring the album's overall feel down enough to warrant dropping my actual rating by 15 ... read more

im literally going to just copy paste my thoughts from the google doc I wrote as I was listening to this horseshit

Slide: 7/10
Honestly better than literally anything off of vultures 1, besides maybe burn but thats the most basic opinion about that horseshit album i could have

Time Moving Slow: 5/10
Why did he moan like that wtf. Shit was kinda boring aswell

Field Trip: 6.5/10
Actually started writing this at this song. Pretty much everyone but Kanye sounded good. Idk what vocal effect they ... read more

***EDITS AT THE BOTTOM***

Some Nights by Fun. is such a strangely difficult album to rate for me. It has such a clashing style throughout the entire album, and the singles don't necessarily feel like they are even apart of the same album. Hell, most of this album feels very disjointed.

I remember being a small child, my parents would have the three singles of the album (Some Nights, We Are Young, and Carry On) playing on the car radio. Since I was about 4-5, I obviously didn't ... read more

this make me :(

horseshit

every single song is a made up persona to capitalize off of the struggles of real people. She never experienced this, instead she was the rapist, not the victim.
Dear melanie Martinez fans, please go through the age of 6 1/2 and grow the fuck up. Stop clinging onto an artist that lies through her teeth, and is the very thing that traumatized you in the first place.

why does the cover art look like it was made with a 15 year old pirated copy of photoshop, and then exported through a blackberry phone from 2004

poor kid man. that kid has dreams and mabu took a big dogshit all over them

This album is really good. The only tracks I have a problem with are BLOOD, FEEL, and LUST. Those three just really didn't interest me. I've never liked skits in the first place, and I always feel like they ruin the flow of albums. I didn't feel this with DAMN. because it was the first track on the album, which makes it easily skippable if you just wanna listen to the rest. FEEL was just kind of eh? I don't have any good reasons on why I dislike this track, its just not something i felt ... read more

No explanation need

this was really not that good. people dick ride this album way too hard. Everything sounds so awfully created. I fucking hate this album, and I hate kanye
