An album titled I Didn’t Mean To Haunt You is unironically one of the more hauntingly beautiful things I’ve heard in a bit.
I enjoyed this a pretty good margin. If you’d told me a year ago that I was gonna like this album as much as I like it, well..I’d probably seriously think you are mental. Quadeca has seriously been taking drastic steps to mature his sound and songwriting and it’s so clear. This is a thousand steps above his last record in all facets. ... read more
I don’t mind Brendon Urie and the hired gun, but you’d have to be brain dead to make a move like this.
0 for starting one of the worst and most pointless trends in the music industry.
This is underbaked and boring as all hell. It’s like Joji’s taking a step backwards rather than progressing like he was on Nectar. It’s either boring as shit balladry with his gratingly vanilla voice or it’s generic sadboy lo fi beats to cry to radio. Neither are appealing in the slightest.
It’s about as boring and plain and insignificant as the album cover. I haven’t lost faith in George, but man this unfinished fucking twenty minute album isn’t ... read more
Fred Durst Has A Curse - The Bizkit Binge #6
Newest Bizkit album. Last Bizkit album. Finally, my soul can rest.
This is fine. Most of these songs sound like your generic Bizkit affair minus the offensively bad parts. There’s nothing really wrong with them aside from the fact that they’re not very diverse. There is still some of that Fred Durst balladry that I dislike, like on Don’t Change and Empty Hole and there’s also the fair share of more diverse tracks like Dad ... read more
Durst Got Wurst - The Bizkit Binge #6
This is so unexpectedly bad. Like I’d assumed after their last record they’d be focused and realize what works best for them, but nope. Over 6 years later, this shitstain was dropped into the public’s lap.
This has some of the corniest and cringiest Fred Durst-isms run rampant, and ten years before their unexpected hit song Dad Vibes, Frederick displays some actual dad energy on this album. Like the auto tune shit made me cringe so ... read more
Durst Is Getting Less Durst - The Bizkit Binge #5
With the aid of acclaimed record producer Ross Robinson, who produced their first and best record, Bizkit sound somewhat focused on here.
This is technically an EP, but I’ll just count it as an album as every website detailing it seems to. This is essentially Limp Bizkit’s first album mixed with them ripping off Rage Against The Machine and it makes for a solid, focused and fun LB record with little filler. It doesn’t quite ... read more
Durst Can’t Get Much Worse - The Bizkit Binge #4
Guys, I must confess…I let you all down. I was supposed to listen to every Bizkit album in one night and I fell asleep. I’ll repent for my sins everyday now.
This is miserable. This is dreadful music. Not even in a good way. This album just has no life and no enjoyment in it. There is literally NOTHING to enjoy on here. I don’t even think I finished it. I think I was half asleep the last two songs. My memory’s ... read more
Durst Makes It Worster - The Bizkit Binge #3
I’m too tired to even want to make the Fred Durst friday jokes. I’m drained. Anywho…
How do things keep getting worse?
This is absolutely awful. I mean, sure it’s got more good songs than the last record but the bad is mountains and pyramids and piles larger on here. So many tasteless and awful experiments on here. So many boring filler nu metal tracks. The lyrics more blunt and boneheaded than ever. How the fuck did the ... read more
Durst Makes It Worst - The Bizkit Binge #2
On this fateful night, we shall celebrate the Fred of times and the Durst of times in the Bizkit catalogue and here we have one of those.
This is a complete step in the wrong direction. It does everything I like about the first album wrong. The Jonathan Davis feature on Nobody Like You is one of the handful of highlights on this record, and the song it’s on isn’t even good.
The album is chalk full of repetitive and painfully boring ... read more
Durst Isn’t The Worst - The Bizkit Binge #1
Ladies and gentlemen, over the next six hours I will be listening to each and every limp bizkit album in order with my friend and we happened to just be at the end of this one. Great!
I would say it’s Fred Durst Friday but I’m currently writing this around twelve minutes after Friday so I think I’m a bit late. Sorry, Frederick.
This album is dumb fun. The riffs can be atmospheric and spongey, and dumb as a doornail simple ... read more
MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER NINE
Mike is lost.
To elaborate, I feel like since his main project Faith No More (he sees it as all his projects being main projects but I feel like it’s a fair thing to say) broke up, Patton just hasn’t really had a direction. He’s all over the place, doing insignificant self-indulgent avant garde noise projects with little to no substance to them.
And well, that continues on here. Maldoror sees the master of all linking up with Japanese noise ... read more
Why is this so catchy?
It’s got a really solid chorus melody, some nice sounding verses and a pretty damn good beat. A shame it’s so short but maybe that’s for good.
So considering I loved Quadeca’s last single and believed it to have a clear pulse and catch to it along with some experimentalism with actual depth, rather than the faux experimental nature of last year’s From Me To You, I went into this new single with an open mind and a sense of excitement, literally saying to myself that I hoped he wouldn’t squander his potential and hoping that Born Yesterday wasn’t a fluke..
and well..
this isn’t bad? now, it’s very ... read more
Ethereal and nostalgic. Sounds like reminiscing at the end of a long and tiresome day.
MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER EIGHT
After breaking up with Faith No More and starting his own independent record label Ipecac Records to put out any number of his own bands and projects, he would form a new band. This band seemed really promising at first. It was named after a cool villain from early to mid 1900’s television, the album cover is a cool retro poster for said villain, I believe. And hell, look at the lineup here: Dave Lombardo from Slayer on drums, Buzz Osborne from Melvins on ... read more
MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER SEVEN
So, this is the first thing Mike Patton releases after breaking up with Faith No More. Huh.
There’s honestly not much to say here. It’s a little too obscure to get the full story on, I suppose, but John Zorn (renowned experimental musician and good friend of MP), Mike Patton, Trey Spruance (lead guitarist of Mr Bungle) and a few other random people all got together and probably quickly worked on and put out this weird batch of material. Knowing John ... read more
MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER SIX
The boys get a new guitarist! Who is it? Well, a guy that was in a few extremely underground bands and had met and knew the boys since 1989? So Jon Hudson joins the band and Faith No More hit the stu not long after their fairly successful previous album, King For A Day! What a great album! And what do Faith No More do two years after such a great album and some more stu time? They make King For A Day Part 2! Okay, I kid. This isn’t a direct copy of the last ... read more
Now, it’s safe to say I think FMTY was atrocious. Really cringey, flaccid and poorly written. Didn’t do a whole lot to change my mind about ol’ benji here..
but this one is actually pretty enjoyable. He’s not a good vocalist, or a good rapper for that matter, but he really works on this track. None of the terrible lyrics or cringeworthy inflections can be seen, and instrumentally wow…
This is phenomenally produced. It feels thick and warm and full (woah there ... read more
