How do you mess up a perfect song?

If you havent read by TBK review, all you need to know is that Oxygen is the best song. It's a perfect experience where every build up is met with an immaculate release, so I really didn't think a version of the song could be that bad. I finally understood that when I saw the timestamp.

The first track of this EP is a seven minute song cut down to three minutes. I forgot to mention this in review, but TBK as a whole is paced amazingly despite the two hour ... read more

Resisting TBK got me thing about this one, so here we are. I don't have as money thoughts as I did with it though, mostly because I feel the same. This album has been highly praised by pretty much everyone here, but I still don't get it. I honestly get it a little less than TBK. The only reason I have records like this rated so high is because I listen to it fully a few times, then only come back to my absolute favorites from it. I basically only get enjoyment from these super long album ... read more

Might as well review this again for the tenth anniversary.

To Be Kind is an album pretty much everyone on this website loves. I've struggled to understand this for a while now. I mean, there are some perfect songs on this album, but I enjoyed it more when I ignored the rest of them. After coming back to this for the tenth anniversary, I think I understand it a bit better. I still think it struggles with some songs, but I'll do my best to understand the ones I don't like as much.

An interesting combination of genres. I didn't really hear all of the dance music that the genres led me to believe. For the most part it's just a nice folk album. I don't exactly remember the titles or lyrics because I don't speak the language this album was made in. I still found it to be very enjoyable.

The first album I've ever listened to that sounds legitimately scary. It sounds like a person at the lowest point in their life.

Jazz Emu's third album is pretty interesting. Most of the jokes on this record come from absurd ideas and scenarios. Funkbot 10,000 is my favorite song off the album which tells the story of a robot sent from the future to fix various problems. There's also a slight concept with this record. The meldoy in the intro plays in several other tracks that share a pretty similar theme.

A pretty interesting Development for Jazz Emu. While he mostly sticks to the comedy with this one, there are several serious tracks during that. Hummingbird is the best example of this. It's a very touching song about loss. Of course there are still standard comedy songs on this album too. Still Waiting takes a pretty simple concept that I didn't think would work with music and pushes it as far as it can go until the end of the song. One of the Good Ones is a kind of comedic kind of serious ... read more

It's here! I know I've never alluded to this project at all, but that was because I didn't know when it was going to be finished. I was planning on making this 30 songs long, but I realized pretty quickly I couldn't do that without at least a third of it being filler.

I've been trying to make music for about two years now. I made about 14 albums during that time, and they were all terrible. I'm glad I never showed them to ... read more

Jazz emu is a comedy musician who began making music on youtube in the late 2010s(I might be wrong about that). He's been my favorite artist under the genre for a while now. This is his debut album. I think debut albums in comedy music are usually extremely rough, even if the artist behind it went on to become one of the best. Surprisingly, this album is actually good. It may even be my favorite album from him. The instrumentation is mostly composed of synths, but they prove to be some funky ... read more

Now that I've gone through and rewritten my old review of his debut, I might as well talk about what was clearly his best project.

This was an astronomical improvement over the first one. The jokes actually hit, and the instrumentation is something that actually fits the style. It's a pretty short listen(under 20 minutes), so I would recommend to anyone who wants to has some fun for a few minutes. There are songs like Introvert, which take a pretty common relatable joke and sets it to music, ... read more

Doing a rereview because I have some more thoughts to give than "I was disappointed."

Value select is a comedy musician that has popped up in recent years and right now sits as one the most respected figures of the genre. I know comedy music kind of gets a bad rap in the community, but I do actually enjoy quite a few of his songs. That being said, this was not it man.

Most of these songs are just Max and an acoustic guitar, which is an already unorthodox set up for a comedy album. ... read more

The fourth and final album in this series. The album itself is just as good as the first. dlp 6 is a pretty standard entry to the series, but the next two tracks are more interesting. both dlp 1.2 and 1.3 involve the same sample loop from the very first record. It probably would've been more powerful if I had listened to all four in one sitting. Needless to stay I still found this enjoyable.

Also now that I've finished this I might as well give my thoughts on the series as a whole. These ... read more

This is the third tape to be released by William Basinski. Dlp 5 takes up the majority of the record. For the most part I found to be a less exciting version of dlp 1, but dlp 4 was the exact opposite. Being only 20 minutes, the loop shows the most distortion out of any track in the project. Half the loop is just devolved into noise by half way through it. The disintegration is devastating.

Wesley Willis is one of the most well-known outsider musicians. His music appears to be silly at first, but it becomes much more apparent what some fo these song mean when you learn about his life. He struggled from schizophrenia, which is a theme that appears twice with this album.

Pretty much every song by hime follows the same formula. The instrumentals are all built in with the keyboard he used. The verses consisted of him explaining the subject of a song, and the chorus consists of him ... read more

TL;DR: This redux removes all artistic value and depth from an iconic album.

Long Review:
Roger Waters is the person I talk about when I say come back albums scare me. That implies to the rest of the living members of Pink Floyd too. The band has completely forgotten why their music resonated with so many people. You cannot escape them anymore when discussing music online. They gave us four of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time only to become the most annoying figures in music ... read more

Like I said with the Vapors, Come back albums scare me. The artist behind them live enough life before them to go through some drastic changes that could majorly effect their style. Thank god I am never right.

We Got It From Here is easily the second best Tribe album. The sampling here is just as impressive as ever. Q-Tip has had an insane ear for sampling ever since tribe started, and he never lost that. I can see why some people think this is the best Tribe album.
