femtanyl - MAN BITES DOG
75

Incredibly competent record. 'Nyl (Cool nickname, no?) has been making immense strides in both composition and overall aesthetic comprehension. This album is highly cohesive, but with each track being distinctive enough, it still packs-a-punch! Unlike the previous two projects, there's some breathing room on here. Not every track is a balls to the wall slam dunk, but I reckon that's not the answer, no, it lies in otherworldly, incomprehensible matter. This Dog might just crack ... read more

AC/DC - Back in Black
50

In short, this band stands in the shadow of it's objectively greatest hit "Big Balls." This album is completely flavorless, a trite waltz through hard rock mediocrity. Brian Johnson, you are a demon in human clothing. Once again, the Irish (Thin Lizzy) outperform the Aussies on all fronts. The only band better at mundane, tepid, elevator rock music is Bon Jovi. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy spirit, please smite Bon Jovi from this earth, Because even AC/DC had the ... read more

Los Kjarkas - Canto a la mujer de mi pueblo
85

So there's this ice cream truck that passes by my house every summer, and for years, I've always wondered what the tune was that they played. I looked online for ages trying to find the song. I recorded it, studied over it, and to no avail. I thought the tune was oddly melancholic and too interesting melodically for an ice cream truck. Well, I finally found out that the song was none other than the famous "Llorando se fue." If I had just been able to catch up to that truck ... read more

McKinley Dixon - Magic, Alive!
90

This year is fantastic for hip-hop, but this has gotta be one of the best in the genre of the past 5 years. Holy CRAPPOLI this shit got my balls blown back to yesteryear. The instrumentality, the emotional vulnerability, all coinciding in one magnificent jazzy orgasmic package. It's got me absolutely quaking in my boots. Definitely a highlight in the genre, as a whole. WOW!

Vargskelethor - Super Ghostbusters
70

I could really go for some crab rangoons and potstickers right now.
Mrweeeeowwwwwww I'm a cattt meorwewwww
This album is really interesting, because on one hand it's really funny, but on the other it's deeply disturbing, almost like it's haunted, like there's a GHOST in the album there's a goddamn ghost in this albummmm whyyyyy.
Rhode Island is too small >:( Or maybe... Every other state is too big.

Limp Bizkit - Significant Other

Fred Durst is the greatest American Hero. Fred Durst fought in the revolutionary war. Fred Durst fought in the Civil War (on the less evil side). Fred Durst fought in both world wars, and single-handedly ended fascism forever and ever and ever. He skipped out on everything past 1954 though, so that's good probably. Fred Durst is my mom, your mom, my dad, and everyone's friend. Fred ... read more

She Fred on my Durst til my bizkit go limp. The dislike for Limp Bizkit is perfectly reasonable, but the disregard for this particular album seems a bit unfounded. I went into this expecting to be maybe a bit bored, a bit annoyed, but I left it feeling satisfied and kind of impressed. Fred Durst is not all that stellar, and he was possibly the weakest link out of everyone on the whole ... read more

Longmont Potion Castle - Vol. 4
85

Longmont Potion Castle is a mysterious figure. He's been active since 1987, and has cultivated a sort of cult following around his prank calls and shenanigans. I've only been aware of LPC for a few months, and I'm just now listening to this. This guy is hilarious. I love all these calls. 74 minutes of laughs, and many realistic wigwams. LPC has inspired me to start a long and fruitful prank call career; hopefully that cute waitress at Red Lobster marries me someday.

Almost all of the set up ... read more

Daniel Johnston - 1990
70

Daniel Johnston very radical and very cool dude.
This album sounds like a rotting sock-puppet theater. Sorta magical, a little creepy, but lovely all the same. A bunch of characters, decorated with their googly eyes, poof into life, do a little diddy, and they're off again. Exquisite.
Daniel Johnston very radical and very cool dude.

Chipmunks on 16 Speed - Sludgefest
75

๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ Oh hell yeah that's that good shit shoot me up uhhgh. ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ
This is 8 covers of popular songs in a really awesome post-everything aesthetic. It's very clearly not a serious album, but whooooo really cares 'bout that anymore. This is sorta in the same vein as Viper, mostly for vibing, not for thorough critical analysis. Out of the handful of novelty albums I've let spitroast my brain, this is one of the most pleasant. Please let this soundtrack the next hit Alvin & The Chipmunks ... read more

Kingston Wall - II
80

Unless you're addicted to the rym search feature like me, you likely haven't heard of Kingston Wall. These folks are a Finnish psychedelic and progressive rock band, so they caught my eager ears by the lobe. My personal favorite of their 3 excellent records is their second. Every cut in this steamy music pizza is a banger; lots of memorable and woozy riffs with quick drums behind them. The production and mixing on here is colorful and fun, the first few tracks on here sort of remind me of ... read more

Lady Bee - Strictly for That Nigga
70

This is an album that needs some full context to be fully understood. On this tape in particular, the person voicing Lady Bee is Kingpin Skinny Pimp, who is most known for working with Three 6 Mafia and his notable Memphis classic, King of da Playaz Ball. But that's not all that should be known, because Lady Bee was, and still is a real person, she just didn't make an appearance on this album. Lady Bee, who's real name is Barbara, was married to Skinny at one point, but they eventually ... read more

Dave Soldier, Komar & Melamid - The People's Choice Music
60

Twenty-one-hundred dumb shmuck albums, that's a lot. Gonna just put this review out here real quick, albums only 27 minutes long.
Pretty self explanatory album, Komar & Melamid took a poll on what people liked the most in songs and what they disliked the most, and made a song for each set of results. "The Most Wanted Song" is a pretty par for the course ballad with a forgettable guitar solo, nothing much to talk about aside from the killer ketchup bottle line.

This record captures a certain fogginess and wobbliness, and builds a catastrophic atmosphere unlike any other album I've heard. Daughter of Darkness gets uncomfortable, getting under your mental skin, pulling around on it, jostling itself neatly between your liver and large intestine, clamping it's bitter cold fingers around your proverbial stomach. Despite the vore this conjures ... read more

B.G. - Chopper City in the Ghetto
75

Cash Money in the late 90s was chock full of great work, but nowadays, those works get overlooked. I discovered this album on @soundworld's profile, and I've got to say that I'm not disappointed. As far as dirty south(ern)-gangsta hip-hop goes, this album does it's usual rounds, solid features from Juvenile, Hot Boys, Big Tymers, shiny bling rap production which has surprisingly aged fairly well, and our likeable main star of the show, B.G. There's moments on this album where it slips into ... read more

Viper - The Hiram Clarke Hustler
80

19OO whatevers, I'm revisiting a beloved old pal from an earlier special. The last Viper album I heard was 'You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack' which, on top of being a highly enjoyable project, also informally introduced me to cloud rap, a genre I had assumed was just mediocre Soundcloud artists, but as it turns out has some great acts. Despite my blind spot for cloud rap in general, I can enjoy some swampy ass hip-hop anytime.
There's a notable difference between this and You'll Cowards, ... read more

18OO ratings, jumping into a record about ๐™‹๐™๐˜ผ๐™„๐™Ž๐™„๐™‰๐™‚ ๐™๐™ƒ๐™€ ๐™‡๐™Š๐™๐˜ฟ, and preaching the dangers of Satanism. Though it seems alike to a parody record, with it's goofy cover and the no-subtlety religious lyrics, The Louvin Brothers are earnest, and fully believe the odd things they say. The brothers exhibit a joyous attitude here, seeming to revel and celebrate the further tainted image of Satan. It's all in good fun, but to only talk about the lyrics would be ... read more

Natural Snow Buildings - The Dance of the Moon and the Sun
85

17OO- ah, who cares. It's albums like these that make my mind wander off to wonderous and fantastical places. I think drone music occasionally gets a bad reputation from me because of records and artists who half-ass it. For drone to work, it needs to be set up properly and delicately. Not too fast, not too slow, lest you run the risk of boring your listener. Most boring drone lasts too long, and doesn't make enough of those subtle changes to really keep you interested. ๐ŸŒ™๐ŸŒž

Yoko Ono - Fly
80

16OO ratings, why do I even count anymore? Fly is one of the kookiest records I've ever listened to. It's a very stylistically diverse record, going from experimental rock/krautrock bangers to grandiose 15 minute experimental extravaganzas. Vocally, it's Yoko Ono, so you know what to expect. The krautrock cuts on this project have incredible riffs and basslines, and I cannot get enough of them. For the more experimental tracks, they can get quite abrasive, but stops just short of annoying, ... read more

Bob Dylan - Christmas in the Heart
50

If Geriatric Bob Dylan doesn't get you in the holiday spirit, I don't know what will.
If we're being real though, this album isn't anything to get angry over. It's occasionally fun, and sometimes it's painful, but most of the time it hovers at decent. Maybe I'll make it a yearly tradition to listen to this, but it's more likely I'm going to forget about it by February. Ok bye.
