Loving anything is draining. It is as life-giving as it is soul-sucking. The only way to feel nourished is to fulfill the role you were born with. LIFE is not meant to be lived any other way, but the road ahead is enslavement to a love that could, in no other way, be. But to be without it would be death; absent from purpose entirely. Give your whole life to something, put your soul in it. It will never love you back, but it's more precious than anything we could create. You're ... read more
i was admittedly quite afraid of what was going to be 'Terrified'. a 19-track fakemink album has equal the opportunity to be excellent or pretty bland (with that being said, i've listened to MOST of fakemink's discography and only found myself really disliking a handful of songs). i think it's reasonable to be hesitant yet also curious and hopeful for an artist like fakemink. his catchy, ear candy DIY production is hypnotizing underneath his oftentimes up-pitched voice. ... read more
Reality Surf...
thx 2 whitearmor and bladee for this awesome album! it's suuuuuper good guys!
i wrote a different review initially, but I want to take the time to highlight how good the track "If I Was a Folkstar" is. I think that, if i were forced to choose one song that perfectly carries with it the feeling that a summer day has-- not just any summer day, but walking around somewhere alone with the wind blowing in the evening when the sun stays hanging on to the horizon for what feels like hours, and it's still hot out, but not sweltering either...it's absolutely ... read more
for some reason her being british was a shocking and uncomfortable realization
correction: Ninajirachi is Australian 😅😅😅
absolutely astonishing album. I first listened to this back in 2024, but felt mostly indifferent to pretty much the entire record. But something kept making me want to revisit it. To say the least, i'm exceedingly satisfied with my choice to come back to "Clube Da Esquina", because across its 1+ hour runtime lie some of the best songs ever written. Like, the first time I listened to this, I managed to overlook EVERY SINGLE SONG by Lô Borges. EVERY SINGLE SONG. If this album ... read more
pretty much stacked with amazing tracks from front to back!
less jazzy than i anticipated, which isn't a bad thing. second half is stacked with bangers. overall very enjoyable especially given its brevity.
long ago (approximately 5 or 6 months ago), i was recommended this album by somebody on AOTY. unfortunately, i have long forgotten exactly who it was. whoever they were, i want to thank them dearly as this album is straight heat. gotta dock off 8 points because the last song didn't hit quite as amazing as the first three. in line with the user scores, the title track is the best on the album; inarguably one of the greatest things to grace my ears. i hope that if I were never rec'd ... read more

"this was easily one of my favorite and most unique listens of last year! seeing this review makes me want to revisit it so bad now lol"
On NyX7ynX's review of JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
"i agree overall. Peggy is trying to prove to be something he isn't so much on this album that it's affected it entirely. I don't think he's washed, but hopefully this album receiving more mixed reception will make Peggy create something better in the future. Ego overcame desire and what we were left with was disappointment. Great review!!"
On 𝒩𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓂𝑒𝒶𝓃𝓉's review of JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
"sadly i agree with everything said in this review. very well put. i really do hope that this album grows on me some, especially with how excited i was to hear it when it got announced. Peggy is hands down one of my favorite artists, and this feels like such a big plateau when seeing what he's done with his discography before this album. It's almost like he spent the whole time making the production and threw together the lyrics and flows just to wrap things up. Amazing review especially so shortly after release lol!"
