Boards of Canada - Inferno
84

Life as we know it now exists on a scorched plane, Inferno is our soundtrack.

Playing into the timeline of the LPs, I like to think of Inferno and Tomorrow's Harvest playing a secondary arc in BoCs catalogue then the first three. Tomorrow's Harvest was the album of warning, a sign of things to come, a grim look at a dystopian future that we will one day leave the children to inherit but it leaves hope, shows life still exists and sustains itself everywhere, it just hasn't been ... read more

Drake - HABIBTI
19

Drake is 100% one of the main reasons hiphop is still full of misogyny

Whatever joy or small cool feature I got from Maid of Honour is beyond gone from this album, and from that void of an album it left, it made me remember the main feature about Drake that I hate has now become the centre force of his music, and worst is that it has been for so many years, lyrics about girls.

Before I even get into that I wanna talk the albums other aspects like production. This album is basically, drum ... read more

Drake - MAID OF HONOUR
80

Drake only makes good music when he takes the sound of heavensouls and makes it with the skills of Lil Dicky

I don't know if it was the stimulation buff from coming off of Iceman, my petition for liking bad music or the amount of Co2 i consumed grinding nubbys number facotry but this shit was fun af.

I see why everyone hates this and I get why, because its bad but by god. This is the funniest album I have heard in a good few years, this is worse then AJRs the Room, worse then anything he ... read more

Kanye West - BULLY
25

*a wide slow shot of the AOTY banner, queued in with ambient music like the one youd hear on national geographic*

AOTY, a home of music discourse, a place for people to rate and catalogue their music, a land to find those who say “40 is actually good on my scale”. AOTY is home to many unintentionally confusing sub cultures that many outsiders who come far and wide to staycated here would not simply understand. We here at WASD (World Artistic Specimen Documenters) aim to use AOTY as ... read more

Xinlisupreme - I Am Not Shinzo Abe
91

Fuck mbv, THIS is peak noise pop

Noise Pop as a genre never sounded real to me, it always sounded like a joke genre even after hearing some of the essential records but after this one, I know what it is and I love it. This record is so unbelievably insane; pinging back and forth between high energy Noise Rock songs to more angelic slower paced Shoegaze songs, every songs aesthetic clashing with one another to create an always changing experience, the almost shit post/meme status of this albums ... read more

L I L L I A N A - BLOODY KNEES
34

i normally don't do a review like this but I feel like it is kinda important, supporting underground artists. Please go listen to this. Even if you'll hate.

L I L L I A N A is an artist I found doom scrolling on instagram once and the video started with an alert, one of those "please stop scrolling" things. Normally when I see them I scroll past because it is usually a grifter but this one had "music" in the tags so I kept watching. To put it bluntly L I L L I A N ... read more

bbno$ - bbno$
75

The guiltiest of pleasure artists came through with one of the dumbest, simple and yet one of the funnest albums of the year.

I like bbno$, I like his cosplays, his collabs and more importantly his humor. Definitely it is hit and miss but the humour always felt light natured, either making fun of himself or just the absurdity of the music. It is clear that many don’t like him for his corny jokes, like somebody is just gonna say “bbnoFunny” for a review and get 100 likes, ... read more

KadeCaptain - H3LL0, G00DBY3!
NR

THANK YOU ALL FOR 1000 FOLLOWERS

Thank you all so much for all the support I have gotten for the past two years I have been on this platform, it has been an amazing time not only to discover some really cool music (the majority of which has become basically an addiction) but also meeting some really cool people (the majority having the worst takes known to mankind). This is a goal that I never thought I would reach given the infrequency at which I upload reviews or do anything but I'm ... read more

Magdalena Bay - Second Sleep / Star Eyes
91

Magdalena Bay have always been one of the best, one of the greatest acts of all time, and they just keep getting greater.

Magdalena Bay have always been very consistently aligned with electronic music, whether it be one of their first anime filled music videos for their EPs or the absolute game changer album that was Imaginal Disk. However this single veers away from that sound, that style that they have always been so accustomed to use, this sound and even by looking at the imagery and titles ... read more

Danny Brown - Starburst
68

Probably not going to review the album when it comes out but please oh please don't let this albums comment section become toxic. This album is probably gonna have some, SOME level of hyperpop to it based of this song plus the feature artists, hyperpop is already a toxic fandom due to its ties to internet culture so PLEASE, lets not do like what happened to Nurture or Playdough Cooked In Tea or any other album where people act like assholes and just be awful to each other.

Anyways I like ... read more

Mori Calliope - Orpheus
86

This does not sound like Mori Calliope at all, this isn't the Mori Calliope I was defending with the Huge W or the CRINGECORE songs for, this Funk Rock or Disco vibe doesn't feel like Mori Calliope. But this is so Mori Calliope.

The person behind Mori Calliope has always been an polarizing figure for me, revered as one of the most hated online musicians (in the music reviewers sphere) and as the alias to the much more hated DemonDice, Mori Calliope (the alias) always seemed like a ... read more

TURQUOISEDEATH - London Juke
67

Turquoisedeath has made more albums than months have gone by of this year and despite all the lack of time between projects, most of them have managed to be great, but I am not sure about this one.

After the landmark release for their career that was Guardian being followed swiftly by a good collab project under the 18 Days Alias, the announcement of a new EP called London Juke came as sort of a shock to most people, with the aforementioned 18 Days project coming out a mere week before this ... read more

Deftones - private music
37

Deftones has, of course, always been on my radar but as of late, they have basically snuck into my music listening habits. Whether it be people playing them in vcs, others putting them in playlists or even hearing them in automated playlists, I have heard more Deftones then I really thought. As such with the new record coming out I thought I would hear it and well… you know I don’t come into every big name record with the intent to hate. I didn't wanna hate Egotrip, I ... read more

Joey Valence & Brae - HYPERYOUTH
78

To put simply, HYPER YOUTH is a great disappointment, in the more literal way of the term because I think this album is great but also a disappointment. It might sound like what I am saying makes no sense but to quote JVB, "You wanna know, so Imma let the music talk."

Joey Valence and Brae were and still are one of my favourite rap acts going into the mid 2020’s, is it because the music is made by white and nerdy people for white and nerdy people and I myself am very white and ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - DON'T TAP THE GLASS
45

I have never been a big Tyler fan, either it's me never giving him the time of the day or me not really heavily bumping his music but some which way he has never crossed into an artist I really care about, but I kinda have to. Tyler the Creator is easily one of the biggest artists alive, not just on the charts but his presence as a musician, from the vine era to today (tiktok era idk) he has managed to have viral videos come out involving him for many, MANY years. From falling down stairs ... read more

Im baaaaaaaaaaaack

Its been over a month since a real review I have posted and just wanted to say that Im really going back to reviewing now, I have had a busy (ngl im also lazy) month where I didn't have time or didn't feel like reviewing, but im getting back into the swing of things. I have a few reviews lined up that I have been working on and are ready to be shipped out soon but for now here I am, reviewing some indie works, and loving it. There are some artists in the indie ... read more

Flume - We Live In A Society
51

How the might(ies) have fallen

This release, this new EP by Jpeg and Flume is incredibly, surprisingly, middle of the ground, a boring release that feels like a plan more than a first draft. This could have really been something great, these two artists who have paved ways for their respective genre and helped popularize their sound to a wider audience. These two artists have really shown their prowess when it comes to being the innovators for experimental releases in their genre but weirdly, ... read more
