Far From Away live is a transcendental experience. I am very glad to find that the recording has fulfilled those expectations.

Otherworldly. From tender to tense, these emotions are familiar, but they definitely are being felt by some sentient, post-human species. The instrumental palate makes this such a uniquely interesting collection of classical soundtrack music, and it is BEYOND perfect for the show that it accompanies.

Could not think of a better choice than 2024 Paramore to cover this all-time classic

What an astounding album. On "After the Magic", Parannoul (with help from some of their friends in the currently burgeoning Korean underground scene) successfully creates the capital-M MAGIC that the album explores in its lyrics. I haven't seen many people talking about said lyrics, but they really contextualized the sound of this album for me. I'm very tempted to do a line-by-line dissection, but I'll save us both from that wordy mire.

This album is about the present moment. This ... read more

help I was looking around for Parannoul and now I'm stuck in a Korean underground music wiki

All of the songs just sound so good! And Morrisey's voice/lyrics are unique enough to make it all interesting. I cannot fucking wait until Morrissey dies

What is there to say about Jeromes Dream? I don't know, actually, this is the first screamo record I've ever heard. Which is weird, since I've been part of my local emo/post-hardcore/screamo scene for the past few years, but regardless I'd say this was a great introduction to some recorded stuff. I love the noise rock elements especially, as something about those deafening, haunting chords has always caught my ear. With regards to everything else, all of the performances are tight; the drumming ... read more

Wow. I mean, just, WOW. I was very hype on this album from the "Do Hot Girls Like Chords?" music video, and I listened to this album a couple times casually over the past few months. It satisfied all of my expectations, and essentially this is all to say I thought I knewer, but listening closely as part of my yearly wrap-up taught me that the only thing I knower is that I knower nothing. Everything is just soooooo cool: there isn't a single misplaced note, there isn't a single dull ... read more

The horror/emo/country soundtrack to living through our third once-in-a-lifetime financial crisis in 15 years, among other things. We are both the whaler from whaling for sport and from floral organs, and all we can do is try to be the latter more than the former.

For my first foray into underscores, I was expecting it to be really fun, I was expecting it to be off the wall, I was expecting it to be camp. I was not expecting it to be disturbing. I was not expecting a concept album with very interesting characters to be criticized and explored. And for some reason, I'd also missed the memo on the dance-pop bangers. It is a very interesting, pretty eclectic listen. I think the biggest praise I can give this album is that it sounds like an artist with ... read more

yeah... im like frineds with a friend of the band. or whatever... not even that big a deal lol.....

This is actually so sweet

Your Reality fucks me up in a way that I cannot describe.

Listening to Cameron Winters on this record is a similar experience to being a Fox main and getting mixed the fuck up by some random dude's DK

WHAT A FUCKING BLAST!!!!!!!!!! So many amazing pop and pop-adjacent songs are sampled and mixed together, and it's really fun to listen through and hear all of the ones that you know. This is combined with a baseline of extreme danceability that makes for a very fun and accessible backdrop that Jane can (and does) layer over with tons of brain-blasting ideas. Songs constantly switch up, transitions are impressive, and the 'single continuous DJ set' sort of format leaves the listener to ... read more

The amount of cunt being slayed here borders on genocidal.

Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, this review is about the 12-track vinyl release, which I consider to be the "definitive" version as those are the songs that are prominent in the game and they are the songs with consistently full run times.

I'm so far removed from the time that this game dominated my life that when I listen to these songs, I hardly think of memories anymore. I just feel the emotions. And that's pretty much how life goes. At first, the memories are fresh, the ... read more

it's so fucking dumb i love it

BADADADADA, DA, DA, DA, DA, DA, BADADADADA, DA, DA, DA, DA, DA

We're Not Here To Be Loved is a tight, entrancing, dense, and passionate album that will make you want to dissociate from your body and float away before bringing you back just in time for some headbanging. When I'm told the genres of metal, post-hardcore, and shoegaze, this is exactly the sound that I would think of. It's very well-executed with lots of serviceable and good ideas throughout, and there's not a dull moment to be found, as the gap between the worst and best songs is impressively ... read more
