This album certainly doesn't reinvent the wheel, but IndiJames' debut is a solid indie rock album that has some charm to it. A bit better of production could go a long way, but there are some good concept here and there that show some hope moving forward.

Homies (intro) - 50/100 - It's an intro alright.
Sundown - 69/100 - The synths and melody are cool, but there needs to be cleaner transitions for this song to be better, as it feels kinda haphazard and ... read more
My Disease blends post-hardcore and nu metal seamlessly, leading to a very heavy but in a way that isn't just because of chuggy riffs and overblown drums and snare nukes, it's filled with genuine aggression. It may be a little repetitive at times, but throw this on shuffle and you're in for a great time. The lyrics are also a little corny though, but come on, you can't say it's not good.
Thanks @DybaMusic for the rec
This album is apparently by the friend of the user who recced me this, who is also a pastor, so that's cool. While I don't speak Portuguese and can't tell you what any of the songs are about, it's a nice album. I had a hard time distinguishing each track so I'm just rating the album overall, but the simple and chill instrumentation works very well and doesn't feel boring, as the instruments switch with each track. I'd probably ... read more
I need to try this + Geometry Dash + a 7-Eleven Slurpee sometime.
Oh boy, mthpsn is back with another befuddling collage of random crap! This single is actually pretty cool though, and I'm definitely a fan of the 2nd track. How does this already have tags though?

wobbly - 65/100 - A very enigmatic and abstract track that just kinda exists but is pretty cool I guess. The first part is cool.
beneath the chasm - 73/100 - I had to double check at the EDM switchup to make sure I was still listening to the same song lol. This track ... read more

Listen, okay, I hate to be super critical for no reason, but I cannot stand this stuff. Arrows is a chill guy online and is nice, but when it comes to his music, for some reason, it fills me with an insurmountable rage that I just cannot handle. Whether it be the agonizingly off key vocals that sound like he's trying to be as loud as possible while trying to be quiet because there are other people in his house, the extremely repetitive song structure ... read more
ECEL's debut album, Ouroboric, is a monumental step forward in pop, and even though ECEL may be very underground in terms of popularity, this man has cracked the code for making the most entertaining, innovative, and smooth pop I've ever listened to. You don't know what this album'll throw at you next, it could be synthpop, could be industrial rock, could be synthwave, or could be something completely different, but everything from all different genres are blended so silkily ... read more
Not Infinity Frequency‘s best work, but it evokes a very unique vibe and is an unsettling yet engaging and cohesive album that shows why Infinity Frequency is as venerated as he is.
My main critique with hard techno albums is that quantity over quality is usually preferred, which is slightly apparent here, but many of these songs are still all you could ever want from Hades. Dawnbringer, apparently part one of two of a series that Hades is working on, features everything Hades does well: relentless kicks, crazy screeches, interesting synths, and at a surprisingly consistent rate. The quieter, deeper tracks also work well too. Overall, Hades' sophomoric album is a ... read more
This is peak brostep. Reminds me a lot of early 2010's stuff, and I'm all here for it.
A very energetic blend of drum and bass and rap that makes for a very entertaining listen. Definitely piqued my interest for the upcoming mixtape.
It's an absolute banger, but why did it release on the same day as the rest of the album?
Shinedown's long-awaited eighth album, promptly named, well, EI8HT, shows not only their versatility, bouncing between heavy hard rock tracks and slow, emotional ballads, but also that they've still got it after rocking for this long. Bands tend to burn out fast, especially rock ones, as gimmicks get old and hits lose their novelty, but Shinedown has stood the test of time and delivers yet another batch of top-notch tracks that comes together to make a great listen. Unfortunately, the ... read more
Piep Piep Piep Piep, mein Algorithmus schiebt mich ein echter Knaller.
I lied. 20 km/h by We Butter The Bread With Butter is no longer my favorite music video. Whatever this is takes the cake. Someone should perform a wellness check on Future Franz, who forged this absolute masterpiece, because I don't think they're A: human, or B: sane. This genuinely makes the song 10x better and more enjoyable to listen to just because of how beautiful this music video is.
Okay, as much as I love food trancecore, I feel like The Butcher Sisters is going to run out of foods eventually. It might be time to find a new niche, but I do still adore this song. Both songs, actually. I don't get why STAMPF isn't a separate single but whatever.

POTATO (Pomme De Terre) - 100/100 - The Butcher Sisters deliver yet another trancecore banger with an insane breakdown, a catchy chorus, and genius lyrical work.
STAMPF - 96/100 - The synths add ... read more
