NCT DOJAEJUNG - Perfume
74

starts off like a thirst trap and ends like a christmas song?? its generally consistent but i wish it was just aggressively sexy

clipping. - Visions of Bodies Being Burned
75

okay, this is more of what i was looking for. has more throb to it, like banging on windows or shaking a locked door. a little less hollow tension and a little more adrenaline

Mindless Self Indulgence - MSI B-SIDES vol.1
73

tacking on "vol.1" feels ominous. im waiting....
anyway i like these a shameful amount. though admittedly my tolerance has dipped since the last time i gave msi a listen. but i cant bring myself to score them harshly

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black (Deluxe Edition)
76

i was going to review the whole thing, but my second cd doesnt work! too bad, because i was enjoying myself. ive just done the first half. the time went faster than i expected, there was really no dragging

clipping. - There Existed an Addiction to Blood
69

i genuinely thought i would like this a lot. im working backwards from dead channel sky, and while i knew this + bodies being burned were staunchly horrorcore and it is a striking example of the genre, it just wasnt what i was looking for and idk how much ill be coming back to

Depeche Mode - Violator
80

sounds like a dark pool of cold water, a bit cerebral in how it takes its time and builds up places to go. choosing not to be flashy serves its thesis very well. to me sounds noticeably on the cusp of the 80s, like i can downright taste it

SEULGI - 28 Reasons
79

intimate, vampiric, waist deep in velvet territory. i imagine midnight, yellow streetlights, slowmo walking and glass decanters. bad boy sad girl is a weird toss-in but everything else feels great

Halle - love? …or something like it
73

very luscious melodies, i like that a majority of the vocals are harmonized. the r&b evokes a particular softness a la h.e.r, its so apt that shes here. a lot of these songs just end without ceremony and its a little disorienting? but i enjoyed this more than i assumed i would

HIGH4 - Blessed
77

Revewing this ep in honor of the new music they put out THIS WEEK (im on mobile idt i can add it here rn). High4 i thought this was the end, i had a good cry back in 2017 over this cos u were gone forever, it was quite blatantly a farewell ep. I would barely enjoy this if i wasnt a stan, but fortunately i am. ty for coming back from the dead, H.I.G.H im coming for you, just wait for me bbgirl….

KMFDM - [Symbols]
75

i have the urge to enjoy it but it lacks a certain depth. i find all the songs start with good energy but fail to follow through. strong balance between things i like (good buildups, fun instrumental choices) and dislike (length, some of the vocals) that evens out in the middle

Norah Jones - Not Too Late
67

a little sultrier than the past two records? the thing about norah jones' discog is that its aggressively unoffensive. like im not getting mad at any of these songs. im not getting much of anything from them is the real issue lol

Rina Sawayama - Hold the Girl
73

i had mixed but slightly warm feelings towards SAWAYAMA, and this holds a similar spirit to that. it feels comfortable darker, but more theatrical if anything, more stage production that i actually like less. but i admit it is more consistent than its predecessor so i give it golf claps for that

The White Stripes - Elephant
79

always more than the sum of its parts, the origin of my love for grit. sounds bigger when i listen to it in the ways of my ancestors (in a saturn packed like sardines with the windows down)

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
78

distant, bare and lonely. the slowness, the pounding, the rising tone, makes for constant tension building, always rising to a surface that very few songs actually like to reach. the other shoe that wont drop

Red Velvet - The Red
71

their red sound can border on overbearing, like a mickey-mouse themed bowling alley with a pep rally inside, but this IS the ep that set the dual concept into motion, so of course the red is going to be all about attention-grabbing maneuvers

f(x) - 4 Walls
76

very very cohesive by kpop-release standards, centers in mostly on house sound and really excels in that arena. even when the structure or pace of a song isnt my style, i still get roped in by the bold stage-lit quality of the instrumentals

이진아 [Lee Jin-ah] - RANDOM
77

extremely colorful, taking you by the hands into a perky kaleidoscope that makes you feel uncoupled one moment and cutely joyful the next; despite her own claims, this really is something special. thanks to ReactToTheK, id be so pissed if i went without ever having discovered such a charming body of work

Carole & Tuesday - The Loneliest Girl
66

it captures the feelings of the protagonist duo well, but it barely movessssss lemme just get comfy here-😴

STAYC - TEENFRESH
61

my first exposure to StayC, as it was rec'd to me,,,,,, i have my doubts that this is the group for me but thank u so much i love recs

Addison Rae - Addison
74

pretty and uncomplicated, i thought i would like it more but the lyricism kinda throws me off and its not aurally compelling enough to save that. also In The rain feat. Chuu when??
