Marshmello - Fly
69

A vivid memory I have of this song is the DuckTales music video that exists.

I don't have much else to say other than this song (and melody) is nostalgic for me.

Marshmello - Joytime II
69

Something something "YouTuber intro music".

Look, Marshmello is basically responsible for getting me into EDM and music production so he's always going to have a soft spot in my heart. This album helped shape my tastes in music and helped me understand not only what I was looking for in the music I listen to, but what I wanted to do with the music I make. That being said, yes, the thoughts I have towards this album are fueled largely by nostalgia, but I don't see a point in ... read more

SVDDEN DEATH - Triumphant
NR

Not bad, but the song kinda just happens, it's weirdly ephemeral. That aside, it's a very good combination of Svdden Death's and Marshmello's identities into something both melodic, but dark and heavy

Space Laces - In The Place
99

yeah, it's good

YOOKiE - FiSSiON
12

You gotta respect the fact that they made an album so bad that they made being bad into their brand.

EDIT: I feel the need to mention that this was the FIRST EP RELEASED ON SUBSIDIA. A label that already had a lot going against it due to having a truly overloaded collection of compilations as their first release. The one-two punch of those comps and this EP is a PR nightmare that I would never wish on my worst enemy.

MARAUDA - SINEWS
89

Marauda's best song don't @ me

Whales - Fuckin'
45

Not good enough to justify its shortness. I like the idea of it being a dubstep mixtape with songs flowing into each other, but the quality isn't there to make it work for me. There are some decent cuts here for what it's worth though.

Riot Ten - BLKMRKT Vol. 1
1

Why does Riot Ten have a house album? To what benefit does this exist?

Subtronics - TESSERACT
65

This album honestly makes me realize how underrated Subtronics' ability to create atmospheres is. The intro's to all of these songs are very good regardless of what I think of the drops themselves. Other than that Though it's okay. I can't pretty standard dubstep/riddim for the most part with some notable (and very fun) exceptions. It's aight.

Oh, and Subtronics isn't very good at vocal mixing.

Edit: 70 > 65

eh

Riot Ten - SHEEESH
10

Just listen to the remix ablum

Subtronics - Omnidirectional
80

Second drop is awsome, better than the first ngl

Subtronics - Black Ice
55

Sure is a Subtronics and Rezz collab...

Nice atmosphere, otherwise unremarkable

Subtronics - Mind Pluck
75

Sounds how you'd expect in a way. Good song tho.

Virtual Riot - Simulation
80

The quintessential dubstep album to me. If you want to understand what dubstep can truly be, then take a listen to this. Couldn't recommend enough. This is going to be the album I recommend to people who want to get into dubstep.

Riot Ten - Rail Breaker
5

This is what people who don't like dubstep think what dubstep sounds like. Rico Act is obnoxious on this song, and the drop is obnoxious. There's better dubstep than this, there are better artists than Riot Ten, so don't waste your time.

EDIT: Riot Ten, you will pay for your crimes against dubstep.

Effin - Cheap Thrills
89

This is probably what the peak of dubstep sampling looks like. None of the samples feel out of place and help enhance the songs for which they're used. This album has a character to it that makes it fun to listen to and truly immerse yourself in.

Subtronics - Alien Communication
68

The fakeout drop and second drop are the best parts IMO. Other than that standard Subtronics.

Eliminate - Cyber Whale
90

Bangers from front to back. Some of Eliminate's best work to date.

Eliminate - Get Off The Internet
85

This album shows Eliminates growth and maturity as an artist, all while not losing his sense of humor and signature sound. It's his best work since Cyber Whale easily.

(Also f_ck you is song of the year no diff)

On 889's review of KILLMATTER - HELLDUST88 (REFLEX)
"I reads as if a lot of the personality that made Disciple what it once was has been stripped from it, and they think that the label can run off of brand recognition alone. Which, in fairness, might not be entirely wrong if the song selection manages to be consistently decent to good."
On MelCollector's review of Asper - DANGER
"NGL, I liked it better when the bar was on the side. It made the covers feel like they could be CD's idk."
On DubstepIsDead's review of Dylan Brady - Needle Guy
"Whenever a project is rated by non-edm fans it seems to get a lower score than it really deserves. Not always, but often enough that it makes a pattern."

"Space Laces, give me a full version of Whip It and I will do whatever you want."
On SVDDEN DEATH - Shallow Land Burial (Wooli Remix)
"@OctoMarkus the voyd compilations felt like a love letter to the Dubstep scene. This remix feels like Wooli got his hands on the SLB stems and slapped them on a track he already had made for clicks."
On OctoMarkus's review of Whales - Rise
"No amount of warning could have prepared me for that drop. Funniest song I've heard all week."
On OctoMarkus's review of Pixel Terror - TEARS DON'T FALL
"You said what I've been thinking for a while now. Compared to the Upgrade EP, Pixel Terrors new direction pales in comparison imo."
