I thought it would be funny to have as a new year resolution for 2022 that I should review one album recommended from a friend every week. Well, my first recommendation was Gummibär, and instead of one album was I recommended their entire discography. So here I am a soon 18 year old on New years eve, writing an unironic analysis on german multilingual virtual band Gummibär's debut album I am your Gummy bear. Gummibär's music and videos are produced by the gummy bear company Gummy ... read more
I am doing a Black metal challenge were I listen to Revolver's list of 25 most essential Black metal albums. And where not to start but with the ground zero when it comes to Black metal. This album coindd the term after all. There is no denying that this is an important album for the extreme metal scene, and both the music and style laid the ground for all the black metal bands that came after.
This album is energitic, rough and fun. Black metal is iconic as fuck, the first stepping stone ... read more
Blue Album by Weezer is loved by the critics, the users and everyone else I know, but I don't get this album. I really try to like this album, I really try to see what everyone else sees in it, but I fail to.

There are 2 really great song on this album though, Say it ain't so(a masterpiece compared to the rest of the album) and ... read more

Add viking esthetics and mysticism to that, and you get an awesome album.
Shores in flames is the epitome of everything I said above. Starting off with clean vocals, slow guitars and just a ... read more
Streetkind is Pop punk band Split Souls debut album, and it's a decent love letter to 90s and 20o0s pop punk. It's a perfect impersination of Green Day, Offspring, NOSFX and etcetra, and it transports you back in time. Nice high energetic and repetetive melodies, poppy riffs but at the same time very aggressive and unappoligetic. Hell, even the vocals are Pop punk 101. The lyrics are straight forward, sometimes criticising and sometimes just for fun. The album is decent and all songs have ... read more
