billions must smile

the velvet underground discovers fuzz pedals

this is what cults listen to when they're not killing people

damn they should really change their strings

Amazing album.

Bittersweet yet oh so hazy.

helped with my headache by cutting my head off

You look at that sick cover and you can get the whole picture of what this album is. It's very surprising to find out that this was one of the first efforts in combining rock with electronic music, it's something that shouldn't be overlooked. God is Screamadelica a great album, yet it frustrates me to no avail that the first side is amazing, like some of the catchiest songs that immediately uplift my mood and that the second side is just good. I know it's the concept of the ... read more

Staley had the voice of an angel, shame he had to become one so soon.

She's not going to take you back man.

I'm starting to notice this trend of indie bands taking 2 words and meshing them together for their name. You got people like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols and the ones here, Ringo Deathstarr. It's a pretty enjoyable album, I really like that they lean heavily into distorted stuff instead of sort of meshing it with dream pop, helps it stand out a bit in comparison to the other bands listed. It's still very derivative though. Not a whole lot to say, good stuff.

A lot of Radiohead fans will collectively agree that Pablo Honey was just the badly placed stone to build the foundations for what would become one of the greatest discographies and album runs of all time. These people are wrong because Radiohead fans are fucking brainlets. Pablo Honey is a good album, not good for what it was worth, just a solid effort. I enjoyed this one a fair bit, while there's not much substance other than "I'm sad" and "I'm horny" ... read more

Cool frog, might grow on me with time.

Damn I put this album on and the next thing I knew it was already over, awful run for your money. You know, after learning the backstory on the aftermath of Pinkerton and the creation of The Green Album I really can't bring myself to not like this one. There's a certain plastic quality on the sound that while shallow to some I find sheer enjoyment in, and that distortion tone is still so good. Can't really hold it against you if you don't like it though, you're ... read more

I think this Burial person might be a bit too lonely to make these banger tracks. Coming from his previous works I expected something more or less along the same, and for the most part that is the case. The main difference is that every song in the Kindred EP could actually be played at a club and people would dance to it, if you put Untrue that person wearing a flannel shirt would start crying. It just has some very infectious beats while still having that Burial style of percussion and pitch ... read more

Oh how I love ambient music, it's the only genre where I don't have to focus on the music and it still counts as serious listening. I felt like going deeper into space ambient since I adored Apollo and this album was the second best thing the genre could offer. Sadly I wasn't that convinced after listening to Structures From Silence. This definitely sounds like a non-issue but I felt like it just sounded too empty at times, too empty for ambient standards at least. And there ... read more

Here's the last entry in Brian Eno's "Ambient" series of records, the often overlooked On Land. This time it strays from the usual approach of nice piano compositions over synths and instead goes through the Dark Ambient route, and honestly it doesn't really do much for me. I think going for a visceral sound could work better if it wasn't so dragged out like it is here, other albums in his discography like Apollo handle it much better in my opinion. Regardless of ... read more

Ironically I can't remember a whole lot about this one, it just sort of felt the same as its predecessor. Maybe that was the intention with the whole 6 stages of Alzheimer thing, I wouldn't know. A bit weaker than Stage 1, the novelty wears a bit thin in this one as there's not much different going on. Maybe there was a bit more static in some of the songs or maybe at some points it felt like it was just noise rather than music. It's good though, and a sign of things to come.

Some nice alternative rock by a band who look like nice people.
