Lykke Li's 3rd studio album, I Never Learn is a powerful melancholic indie pop record which is both easy to engage whilst offering some amazing atmosphere and great lyrics for a soft spoken bittersweet 33 minutes, making the record not only dense with its content with so much to unpack but perfectly capturing that feeling of loneliness

Krokus' most regonizable album due Screaming in the Night and alongside other great classic heavy metal tracks such as the self titled opener and Eat the Rich make for a fun straight forward and catchy record which isn't as impress as other records in the same scope but for fans of early heavy metal and 80's hard rock such as Scorpions, Krokus is right up your alley.

With the huge success of Koi No Yukan, in retrospect it is no surprise that Deftones continues the ethereal landscape they had built on that album onto their next album Gore, however, they seem to do nothing new with the sound and if anything moved backwards with songs which are played well and have that edge which is expected from a band like Deftones but nothing really stands out, most songs just blend together and unlike Koi No Yukan there is no punch or drive and it leaves Gore being ... read more
Easily my favorite Tori Amos album and is near amazing for me, containing her strongest, and most powerful lyrical content for such an introspective and melancholic listen alongside some beautiful production, with an engaging structure to the whole album mixing elements of so many different genres from piano driven ballads, to elements of electronic and trip hop and even the taking aspects of the rising artsy alternative rock, From the Choir Girl Hotel is a well balanced, multitude of ideas ... read more
Allegaeon's third studio album, is by no means a bad record in fact it is quite good having a nice mixture of melodic and technical death metal for not necessary a demanding listen but one which shows their technical prowess, the problem with Elements of the Infinite and way for me it doesn't nearly stand at the top of the death metal scene is because it is often too predictable and the songwriting both lyrical and the structure of the songs is too safe, it has some nice moments and the songs ... read more
Another fantastic Beach House album with some of their best songs suchas Space Song and my favorite song for its lyrics by the band, Levitation for a slow, ethereal soothing but yet melancholic listen for those with soft hearts of which are broken. surrounding you in its warmth sound for comfort.

Although not on the same level as the album which followed it, Clouds sees the last before their took a more gothic center approach to their metal sound for a deathd oom metal album which does get overlooked a bit and with some really omnious vocals by Johan which i actually like and some great slow building and mysterious instrumentals, clouds is a conistently good record which doesn't necessary impresse me as much as other death doom metal acts.

These Boots Are Made For Walkin' easily stands as one of the most well known songs of the 60's that it is a shame it kinda of overshadows a lot of other great songs from these record which in turn is a consistent sunshine pop filled with soul, jazz influence making it an exciting and catchy listen, filled with great tracks such as Lies, As Tears Go By and In My Room.

Nowhere near at the top of my favorite death metal records, one of Sadistik Exekution better known records, We Are Death... Fukk You, is a solid well rounded death metal album which doesn't necessary impressive or go out of the box with its style and often at times can feel dragged out is still a fun listen with some underrated songs namely Internal Klok and a nice chaotic feeling to the record gives it a nice edge but often it spends too much time creating an atmosphere which doesn't always ... read more

It is safe to say that a lot of Knxwledge's work is quite overlooked when taking into account the broaden landscape of Hip Hop and to an entend instrumental hip hop but with Kauliflowr, the artist proves himself as a sampling mastermind creating an atmospheric and mellow lo-fi record, one which every song has a dense enriching textures for an engaging listen.

Easily stands as one of Anaal Nathrakh better works, with some real amazing highlights such as Oblivion Gene, To Err is Human and Do Not Speak but many moments which often leave me confused such as the opening or the start of Swallow the World but overall, Domine Non Es Dignus is a nihilistic heavy barrage of aggression which is simply great.

One of Saxon's best record, containing one of their best and beloved songs, Princess of the Night and alongside some consistent energetic heavy metal which makes you scream in triumph, Denim and Leather is a great metal record, a straight up record which is nothing but fun and enough it's not as challenging as other acts in this genre namely Iron Maiden, it's brings out a sense of fulfillment and entertainment.

Jim Croce with hist most iconic album to date, namely due to the lead singles, I Got a Name and I'll Have to Sing I love You A Song which both are folk rock classics, and with the rest of the album, having some of his best lyrics for an introspective and sentimental listen, I Got A Name stand as one of the better folk rock album from the early 70's

Klaus Schulze's debut is a solid start to his discography creating a atmospheric and spacey record which slowly drifts you into its ominous and mysterious atmosphere alongside some intriguing soundscape and some wonderful use of ambient and drone, makes for an impressive album but sadly for me their are other record in his discography but i often return to more than Irrlicht

Jaco Pastorius' self titled album stands as one of the great 70's jazz fusion album with some of the best electric bass the genre has to provide. Creating a warm and melodic listen but one which shows create technical skill within its complex structures and sound, for an engaging and intriguing listen but one which you can mostly chill to.

On Dead Can Dance - The Serpent's Egg
"Kinda, i think it starts very strong but i feel the track doesn't really go away and feels a bit lackluster."
On Katie Pruitt - Expectations
"I find the vocal melodies easily the strongest point of the album and the lyrics are not subtle but i think it works well within the album favor because it not really a subtl record itself in my opinion. From what i remember i found the instrumentals and production rather boring and the overall sound of the album to be dull which meant that the lyrics and the album as a whole didn't really connect with me. I haven't listen to it in a while but i can't remember much about it expect Out Of The Blue that has grow on me a bit."

"True but RHCP version is on Might Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie"

"IKR, that song is a literally masterpiece of art. 11/10"
On MGMT - Congratulations
"Yh, it also holds a more special place in my heart"
On The Who - Tommy
"I don't just do my track rating by track by track. I do it by if the track adds to the album has an experience. Tommy is a very good record and if i didn't have the track ratings it would still get the same score mainly due the concept itself doesn't add much to the my overall enjoyment of the album. Every track is based on my enjoy-ability whether that be production, lyrics, melodies, instrumentals, transition into other songs, its involved and importance within the album, and whether it has impacted me personally (which at the end of the day it subjective) etc. I have listened to this album plenty of times but most of the time i feel especially with this album i wouldn't add anything new to the conversation. Maybe i just don't fully grasp that concept and therefore can't appreciated as much as other people but at least not everyone is going to agree with music."
On Linkin Park - Meteora
"My nostalgia is too strong on that track"

On BTS - MAP OF THE SOUL : 7
"@kareenak yh out of all the K-pop band, BTS is the one with the most freedom but I am taking about the genre as a whole and even Jessica Hyun-ju Ho said they are genuine friends but she even stated that many bands in the genre don't like each other and that is the aspect I am talking about. Also, you are trying to say that just because i have this view point that it is xenophobiac when i stated that I like the band Otoboke beaver, and i also like; Akira Yamaoka, BABYMETAL, Run River North and Yuna, music from the other parts of the world in fact has some great stuff out there which i probably haven't heard i, but i don't like restricting people just because their are musicians "
