Digital Phantom - an untitled demo
71

This demo tape explores a lot of interesting ideas, but a lot of them fall a little bit short or feel like they were a little bit undercooked. Some songs though, like Jet Skates and Dreamstate Rave Chamber are very fleshed-out and professional, but others like XD-3K need some more effort.

---Individual ratings---

Welcome To The Funhouse - 72/100 - A very enigmatic track with a wonky vibe that I like.
Dreamstate Rave Chamber - 87/100 - I have no clue what this song is, but I love it. It's ... read more

GIMS - Emprise
75

Pretty standard as far as GIMS goes, but still has a nice beat and is a fun listen.

Tom MacDonald - Pray For The Left
52

This beat is killing me dude...

Tom MacDonald - Declassified
56

You know, I'm a pretty outspoken rap hater, and a political rap hater especially, but since this album isn't just "Fuck the government! Turn all Christians into roman candles!", it's not the worst thing ever. Clocking in at a lengthy 19 track runtime, it does get very repetitive, but nothing here is too bad. Although most songs here are just kinda "eh", it could be a lot worse, so I'm not mad.

Skillet - Invincible
100

Rewriting my review cause my old one sucked.

Invincible is truly a one-of-a-kind album. For starters, this band has a very shaky start trying to figure out who they were, but mainly consisted of a lot of early electronic components mixed with various industrial rock elements and Christian undertones, but in this album and this album especially are the electronic parts much more common and memorable. Invincible is really an album I haven't seen replicated effectively, as this album just ... read more

WilWith1L - Seattle 2023-24
69

An AOTY user who made a hip hop mixtape? Wow, truly such a trailblazer. First off, let me preface this by saying that, yes, I gave it a yellow score, but it is still good. Now, even though there have been things like this done before but better, underground music has a sort of charm that industry stuff will never be able to replicate. This album especially feels really personal and even though it's not my style of music, I can't say I didn't enjoy it. The beats are nice and even ... read more

IndiJames - Superior
55

Given the cover art, I did not expect this song to be what it is. It's a very weird blend of a bunch of different things mainly pertaining to metal and something vaguely hip hop, but the guitars and drums are good so at least there's that. The song needs better mixing though, and it's very chaotic and all over the place in its current form.

Xrim - Delusion
94

The king of bacteria frenchcore has returned with more bacteria frenchcore. What a time to be alive.

Xrim - Numbers
92

The only way to describe this song is "bacteria frenchcore".

Slayyyter - BROKE BITCH FREE$TYLE
0

I hate this song with such a passion it is impossible to put into words.

Tom MacDonald - FACTS
89

I... I don't even know anymore. Ben Shapiro on a rap song is crazy but it's honestly kinda fire. The beat's pretty cool especially, but Tom's vocal performance is surprisingly solid and Ben Shapiro is just... well... he's just kinda there. The cover art also has massive meme template potential.

Lil Nas X - MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)
68

Another one of "those" songs that wouldn't stop being played everywhere back in 2021, but I can get behind it a little.

Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow - INDUSTRY BABY
72

I've heard this a million times, but even though I don't like rap, this song honestly entertaining and pretty decent overall with a very memorable chorus.

hemlocke springs - be the girl!
86

The laid-back instrumentation with some great synth work and an overall fun demeanor make for a great track that's entertaining too.

hemlocke springs - w-w-w-w-w
75

Another enigmatic but playful synthpop track that confuses me in a good way.

hemlocke springs - head, shoulders, knees and ankles
100

I have never listened to anything like this before, and it's a shame because this is super innovative and fun.

hemlocke springs - the beginning of the end
80

A cool single with some interesting vocals but fun execution nonetheless.

hemlocke springs - the apple tree under the sea
83

A very unique and cohesive synthpop album that has a ton of very interesting concept that are explored thoroughly and in a very fulfilling way, with this album being a pretty venerable dance-pop album that has some memorable songs. The instrumentation and vocals are both very unique, and each song is quite playful and fun, but different enough from the previous track to be interesting.

Schyzomandias7x - TRIADA 2
40

I think @FlaRNyyy recommended me this but I forget

I hate to hate on this song, but I really just don't like rage. This song is a little more on the tolerable side as far as the genre goes, but this is not for me. Sorry to bring the average rating down cause I think the creator recommended me this, but yeah, it's not good in my eyes.

Kruelty - ANGRY SCREECH CLUB
77

Sounds like every other Kruelty song out there, but the screeches, as the name implies, are definitely angry and they sound great overall. Exproz's kicks here are a little out of place though, but Kruelty, again, cooks with this one.
