Thanks to Static for the recommendation. I was listening to the Kikuo Miku 6 album and this popped up on my Spotify. You know what? Might as well.

Boy, this album takes me somewhere. One of the greatest, sweetest sounding shoegaze songs I've ever heard are all in this single album.

First three songs feel so... airy. I imagined myself in a train, leaning my head against the window, it's morning outside, I could visualize the distant sunrise in the horizon, the skies were a mixture of heavenly ... read more

AJR - The Maybe Man
40
I debated with myself and decided to finally give this a listen. Maybe it's decent? Maybe it's terrible? If you never try, you'll never know. Second time writing a full review, sorry for bad England.

I've never been a fan of AJR's music. The only albums of theirs that I listened to were Neotheater and The Click, both of which received 1/10 and 2/10 from me, respectively. My problems with their music are probably the same as the majority of people who don't particularly enjoy AJR's music: corny ... read more

Nanashi Mumei - mumei
75
I've learned to not hate everything that involves Vtubers. Are Vtubers not authentic just because they wear masks? Are people who don't wear masks automatically authentic?

Mumei's vocals are probably one of the most decent ones in Hololive ENG. It sounds like a Porter Robinson cosplay, but it's fine. It's not like LIONE who just straight up ripped him off.

blink-182 - ONE MORE TIME...
50
First time writing a full review, sorry for bad England.

The most iconic and recognizable faces of Pop Punk is back with two of their original founding members. Tom DeLonge's return to the band took the world by storm and everybody, fans and non-fans alike were anticipating for their return-to-form album, "ONE MORE TIME..."

My personal history with Blink-182 includes a few tracks that I've enjoyed in the past. Their music has always struck me as a chance to "turn your brain off ... read more

Of Mice & Men - Tether
35
One of the most nothing burger releases of Metalcore in 2023. I literally took weeks just to finish this album due to how tedious and boring it is.

Of Mice & Men's "Tether" album is probably one of the most underwhelming Metalcore releases of 2023. It's a bit of a struggle to get through, as it often feels tedious and uninspiring. Their earlier albums had their moments with some memorable tracks and enjoyable performances, such as "Second and Sebring" and "Bones ... read more

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
98
Do you think if they added their songs into Sims 4, they would sing in English instead?

I joke about them all the time that it looks like I'm their biggest hater and bully. I truly, truly love this record. It's mind-blowing how an artist can actually achieve the "vocals as an instrument" sound. A lot of artists talk about using their voice as an instrument, but this, THIS is the perfect example of it. Apparently, Elizabeth Fraser never sang “gibberish” and was never ... read more

Dear Kali,

For 400 followers, I want to end a series of community lists that I've compiled this year as a trilogy of sorts. The last two focused on song lyrics and how people feel about them. For this last one, I wanted to look more into production. So, let me ask you a simple question but difficult question: In your opinion, what is the best banger known to man?

SELF PROMO: i posted my 50th review plz check it out, it would mean a lot https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/calup/album/580-gtis-byrjun/

Hi kali! Being an avid fan of falling asleep, and having just made a list of albums I like falling asleep to, I got curious what other people like to fall asleep to (if anything). So if there's any album you like to put on when you're getting ready for sleep, I'll add it to a community list I'm making. Cheers!

Hey there kali! I wanted to redo my review of an album that means a lot to me. It truly made my output on music different and caused me to look at things in a different light. It’s helped me through some really tough times, and it's very dear to me. It would make my day if you could give it a look!
