Sailor Plane - Ice Road
85

What a nice track, the vocals and instrumentals are so calm and nice. Carries an excellent vibe the whole way through. I do love how the vocals are so quiet in the mix, they're not lost but the way they're added makes them sound so much more somber and reflective. Lovely track, happy to have been sent this, thank you @nonino

Fellers Island - Stations
80

Some really nice clean and atmospheric tracks. Each one offering a small serene moment of peace. Points Against Father Time specifically carries some strong early Oneohtrix Point Never vibes to it.

Favs: Pacing Around the Parking Lot, Points Against Father Time

The Smile - Wall of Eyes
65

A very long, slow, and tedious listening experience. I feel that peoples love for Radiohead might be clouding their judgement on whats a fairly unremarkable album

Fav: Wall of Eyes

Borislav Slavov - Baldur's Gate 3 (Original Game Soundtrack)
60

10/10 game with a 6/10 soundtrack. Removed from the game its just a little boring and generic for me.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Live at Red Rocks '22
100

This my 1400th rating!!

And what an adventure that was, 2 days of listening to what is simply one of the most incredible live recordings of all time. Even at an absurd length it never felt like a drag, King Gizz are on another level of live show and i'm dying to see them again after this. I have too many favorites to mention, but i would 100% give it another full listen

Colonel Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains - The Big Eyeball in the Sky
90

Les Claypool and Buckethead work so well together, its just as weird and wonderful as you want.

SPRINTS - Letter To Self
65

Not a bad album, just a little dull, predictable and "by the numbers." If you're looking for a post punk album, this is absolutely one of them.

Misophone - A Floodplain Mind
90

Very long album, but very beautiful. Feels like a huge leap forward for these guys, the scope of this album is way beyond anything they've done before.

The Beatles - Now And Then
90

Beautiful song. Like an after credit scene in a movie it feels like a perfect way to "end" the legacy of The Beatles. Extremely emotional and hearing it at the end of all of their new remasters feels like a journey. Never thought i'd get to hear something like this from them, and I'm extremely grateful for it

The Beatles - The Beatles 1962 – 1966 (2023 Edition)
NR

I think its easy to brush these off as cynical cash grabs to keep making money off old music. But damn if this isn't super well done, they all sound like brand new recordings, never heard them in this quality before. This is proper use of AI to enhance and help make art better.

Theres nothing new I can add to the table that hasn't been said about this music. I prefer 67-70 personally. But these are both excellent and worth the listen. I feel a number rating for these are unnecessary

Bright Eyes - Four Winds
85

I don't understand why this is rated so low, its a solid EP with a lot of good tracks

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Silver Cord
75

Better than the last album, but far from a good King Gizz album. Genuinely sounds exactly like the artwork

9 Lazy 9 - Electric Lazyland
75

Very groovy, but a bit long. Cut a few songs and it would have been much better

Animal Collective - Isn't It Now?
90

if Time Skiffs last year was a step in the right direction, this is proof they know where they're going. Theres no avoiding the MPP comparisons but the albums couldn't be more different, even if you think you know them from MPP or Strawberry jam, this is a whole other beast. I love the progressions and the more subtle psychedelic elements. Their song writing is absolutely on point and if they continue in this style for a while, i'd be very happy

Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin kynsi
100

Absolutely speechless, this is an incredible album front to back. Some of the most unique and deep metal arrangements & progression i've heard. Not a single weak track on here

Oranssi Pazuzu - Muukalainen puhuu
90

So very much unlike any other metal album i've heard before. It's been a long time since I've heard it last and on revisit i'm so happy to say how much it holds up. If anything as i've learned to appreciate atmosphere is may have gotten better with age. About to deep dive their discography so I hope it stays this quality.

高中正義 [Masayoshi Takanaka] - CAN I SING?
95

This is it, this is the good stuff. The source of good vibes and amazing talent.

高中正義 [Masayoshi Takanaka] - オン・ギター [On Guitar]
90

Some truly relaxing and awesome tracks on this one. Fantastic display of Takanaka's talent and song writing

Sprain - The Lamb as Effigy
75

Its good but I feel its being wildly overrated. As far as Swans knock offs go this is pretty legit and some of these songs are legitimate masterworks (Margin For Error and The Reclining Nude.) However there is a lot of dead air and miss steps taken on the whole listen. A lot of the songs don't justify their length and the last song is definitely about 12min longer than it needs to be. Overall its fine, but its far from being perfect or worthy of AOTY

Favs: Margin for Error, The Reclining ... read more

Sounds like John Dwyer doing DEVO in the best way.

""he robot who wants to be a human or to feel human emotions is a little uninspired and cliche, but at the same time it adds a cinematic atmosphere, like a low-key sci-fi book. I enjoyed the most of the songs, except 'Vomit Coffin' (and all the vomit stuff)" Great review, but this part bothered me, because if you listen to the words or read along the entire last part is about Han-Tyumi and his mission not to become human and feel emotions. But to Vomit and Die. "

"But when the sound is regressive like this than i'd say its more worth the low scores. I mean if you're going to tell me the instrumentation and sound on this album is more evolved than Plastic Beach, id say you were crazy. "
