Shinedown - EI8HT
42

you fuckers said they did something new. you lied out your ass man holy hell.

Vince Staples - Cry Baby
85

he really can do it all, man

The Amity Affliction - House of Cards
20

unimaginative, lazy, boring back replaced their bad vocalist and stayed bad. recycle the same tropes with boring choruses, bland mixing, and uninventive instrumentals. just another paycheck.

Novumora - Shipwrecked!
65

very solid if you enjoy the swancore/mathcore type, even if it doesn’t exactly try to differentiate itself from being a DGD clone.

Bilmuri - KINDA HARD
70

a relatively enjoyable listen, but there’s become too many cooks in the kitchen when it comes to bilmuri. lot of writers that turned a fun, experimental, semi-serious project into a commercial machine. gabi gets way too underutilized now and the humor kind of gets shoe horned in now. hoping to veer from country-core on the next one but i fear it’s here to stay from now on.

Moodring - death fetish
70

sounds like it’d be in MX vs ATV so hell yeah

The Gloom in the Corner - Royal Discordance
66

theater kid core (complimentary). clearly talented with lots of good moments until you get hit with some hard cringe. but a good listen nonetheless.

Varials - WHERE THE LIGHT LEAVES
70

“what if we beat the fuck out of you for the entire runtime” - the album

fairly one note but that one note is bludgeoning you to death with a ball peen hammer

New Found Glory - Listen Up!
64

better than what you would expect a band this old would sound at this point but not doing much of anything exceptional

Joji - Piss In The Wind
52

it’s so fucking boring dude

MORTAL REMINDER - MORTAL REMINDER II
51

pretty cookie cutter and forgettable. feels like a step down from MR1, which is funny after all the shit they talked.

Bore - Feral
78

close enough welcome back every time i die

ExitWounds - An Offering to Tragedy
70

just beating your ass for 18 minutes. beast mode.

The Devil Wears Prada - Flowers
42

rhymed “eyes” with “realize” and i don’t think i can let that slide

Downswing - And Everything Was Dark
50

scuffed wage war drops another uninspiring album that feels like dudes that don’t really have anything to talk about but just really like riffs and breakdowns.

PRESIDENT - King of Terrors
65

couple good tracks, couple nothing burgers, but overall i feel like there is more good to take from this than bad.

the sleep token comparison is such a lazy “i saw it on twitter” take. this is, at its core, relatively standard poppy-metalcore/rock. i don’t hear many, if ANY, direct rip off of sleep token, dayseeker, or bad omens anywhere in this.

the singles do most of the heavy lifting, even with RAGE growing on me after really not liking it initially, but it kind of ... read more

Not Enough Space - Weaponize Your Rage
65

doesn’t reinvent the wheel by any means however they do a great job instrumentally and with the mixing to make it enjoyable. lyrically it’s fine, might roll your eyes a few times but that’s a standard in this genre at this point.

Silverstein - Pink Moon
52

when your goat is washed 💔💔💔
