To this day the hardest I’ve seen Chino go on a song. He literally sounds like he’s on the brink of losing his voice.

That intro leading into the incredible wall-of-sound riff is still so perfect. It has a heaviness which also gives it some atmosphere making it a really multidimensional and full sounding cut. A masterpiece and an underappreciated song from the group nowadays.

Gorillaz hasn’t been great since 2001 imo.

UGH
*bouncy funk metal riff* x10

MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER FIVE

After what appeared to be a fairly good touring cycle for Faith No More’s King For A Day, Patton would reconvene with his Mr Bungle bandmates and work on their sophomore affair, one that would arrive around four years after their debut. It seemed like Mike wanted to get in a good run with FNM while they were hot and let Mr Bungle sit awhile until he was ready. And at this point it looked like FNM needed a bit of a cooling period as they were lacking an actual ... read more

MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER FOUR

In no rush to follow up what would be Mike Patton’s last commercially successful album Angel Dust, King For A Day Fool For A Lifetime (or just KFAD as I’ll refer to it) is another bold project in the Mike Patton canon, featuring a more bass slap-heavy sound. It could be akin to The Real Thing in some aspects, but is far heavier and more varied in sound and style. Not that Angel Dust didn’t have a funky bass tone, but this album has more of a groove ... read more

No, dude.

(As this is a double single the overall rating is an aggregate of the two tracks.)

Flyer Than Mothman - 80

I didn’t dig much I heard from the debut album, but this track is definitely more my speed. A very well produced song with many neat samples and switchups. Eli’s rapping still isn’t my thing but Eli does fit into the track and flows pretty well in all fairness.

Run For Your Life - 51

This is the hazey sluggish chief keef-y kinda rap I’m not really into, so I ... read more

The beat is seriously very pleasant, and the rapping is actually pretty good and flows along very nicely. It’s kind of a sad but somewhat empowering track by the end. This could seriously be an underground hit from the mid to late 2000’s. I got some Aesop Rock vibes from the beat for some reason. Good stuff.

MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER 3

Picking up where we left off on the Mike Patton journey, after a very successful album release and a very successful coinciding tour for 1989’s The Real Thing, Mike thought he’d return to childhood band Mr Bungle and release their debut which, to put it plainly, was chalk full of some of Patton’s zaniest ideas and singing. I bring this up because in late 1991, early 1992 his breakthrough band, the one I discuss now, was headed back to the dark chambers ... read more

Another basic but solid tune. These are all pop rock tunes but at the very least are fun.

Dua Lipa can put out basic ass dance shit and you all eat it up, but all the singles so far are poorly received (and are comparably simple) so this leads me to believe there’s a Brendon Urie bias!

Chorus is pretty bland, but honestly I like the verse melodies of the track. Nothing special but certainly not as bad as you are all making it out to be.

Yet another high class and sophisticated swanky tune from FNM that further distinguishes their sound (which in itself is many sounds).

Angel Dust review coming! I promise you

What was the point of promoting this as a 2009 cut when it’s clearly either a new track in the style of 2009 Marshall (minus the accents) or a re-recorded song.

Regardless it’s a very mediocre Eminem love song, and quite frankly I’m sick of those.

Despite being headache-inducing at a certain point, this album is pretty brutal. This is before Seth went out of control in pushing racist and homophobic and hate everyone ideology into his music. This is when every single song was improvised, and it might be better that way. There isn’t really any lyrics here (thankfully). It’s basically just 17 minutes of harsh grindcore and noisecore, and I’d consider the track Song #5 to be a really great brutal headstomping track, with ... read more

review + 300 follower special

The talent dripping from this album is immeasurable. I couldn’t even name all the instruments being played quite honestly, but then being played the way they’re being played, sometimes at the pace they’re being played, is jaw dropping. These dense cacophonous instrumentals, paired up with Geordie Greep’s 1920’s sailor tone, get chaotic and fun as soon as you press play on the album. There’s a sleek, movie-quality sense of ... read more

I’ll give it some credit, it’s a lot better than the last three returning tracks and it sounds closer to old YFM moreso than any of them but..

It’s still unfunny and lame as hell. Like Ray is seriously showing old age and trying to fit in by making a song about a meme from like three years ago. It’s just a really lame song, and I had an expressionless face throughout the whole thing.

MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER TWO

Right off the bat this album is a strange foray into the weird and darker side of reality. It’s an automatic improvement from the simply decent The Real Thing, Mike’s first official album with any band. This is clear in the ground that is covered both vocally and instrumentally, with styles of ska, funk rock, hip hop, ambient, field recordings, metal and many many more. Mike Patton is vocally at his most ambitious already and this is only his second ... read more

MIKE PATTON | CHAPTER ONE

After sort of just existing for four years with a less than stellar vocalist in Chuck Mosley, he finally left after two mediocre albums. The boys in the band were left in sort of a small limbo period, until they received a demo tape from a small local band entitled Mr Bungle. So they tracked the talented young man down, and well, he joined the band. The thing about him joining the band so all of a suddenly was that the third Faith No More record was instrumentally ... read more

DEFTONES | CHAPTER NINE

This album starts with a bang. The first three tracks on this album are some of the best tracks from the band, each of them being ridiculously heavy and memorable. Like the little “trap” section that lasts about eight seconds near the middle end of Urantia. That caught me way off guard and was a pleasant surprise. This album in general is a pleasant surprise, and in bringing back Terry Date (the man who produced their first four records, more importantly ... read more

The production on this album is gorgeous. Very multilayered, tight and well mixed. It’s cool when you can point out different instruments in a cacophony of sounds. Every instrument sounds great (and there’s a lot of them). The songs are complex in structure, and sometimes even very interesting. The piano and guitar specifically sound great to my ears on here.

It would be all well and good had this been a fully instrumental record. See, the Achilles heel of this record is one of ... read more
