BjΓΆrk - Vespertine
99
[Björk Album Discography Dive #4/10 - Vespertine (2001)]

Musical perfection? I think so.

Beautiful, stunning, enchanting, intricate, transcendent, you name it. The experience this album offers is unreal. With an incredible array of detailed layers each cast heavenly on the artistic canvas, Vespertine is Björk at her absolute best. Simply put, this album is pure musical bliss.

For me, this is definitely the least accessible album so far in Björk’s discography. In the ... read more

BjΓΆrk - Vulnicura
93
[Björk Album Discography Dive #8/10 - Vulnicura (2015)]

When it comes down to break-up albums my mind goes straight to clichéd acoustic guitars, corny lyric delivery, and super generic pop melodies and hooks. Björk on the other hand, in typical Björk fashion, creates a breathtaking, kaleidoscopic, brain-melting, and sonically unreal break-up album.

Vulnicura is probably Björk’s most personal album up to this point, focusing mainly on her emotions leading up ... read more

Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday 2

Nicki Minaj ft. Alvin and the Chipmunks wasn't on my 2023 bingo card.

Hey Siri, define nostalgia bait: *spits out this album*. In all seriousness though, I absolutely despise this sort of purposeless tacky sampling where it’s just carelessly thrown into songs with little to no positive effect. Sure it’s great if it’s done well but this is just pure laziness. Leave the classics be ffs.

Anyway, as for the rest of the album; I think it’s enjoyable enough but it’s ... read more

Tate McRae - THINK LATER
56
The Absolute Bare Minimum: The Album

Canadian pop star Tate McRae’s second album falls squarely within the comfort zone of ordinary mainstream pop. It definitely isn’t setting itself out to reinvent the entire genre but unfortunately I found almost every aspect of this album to be quite bland and unbelievably safe.

The quality of the mainstream pop scene has noticeably declined in recent years, with many big artists tending to rely on formulaic structures, predictable creative ... read more

BjΓΆrk - Biophilia
85
[Björk Album Discography Dive #7/10 - Biophilia (2011)]

Props to Björk for having Mother Nature as a collaborator on this album! Actually, could she just be Mother Nature herself?...

Björk’s seventh outing has what is probably my favourite theme/concept I’ve experienced in her albums so far: connecting the beautiful qualities of nature with the world of technology, both lyrically and musically. The sound of this one feels quite similar to her albums in the 90s + ... read more

BjΓΆrk - Volta
80
[Björk Album Discography Dive #6/10 - Volta (2007)]

Debut + Homogenic + Medúlla = Volta?

This seems to be a return to Björk’s roots. It’s clear that she’s gone back to her earlier ‘clusterfuck of styles’ sound while also including many of the elements from the chaotic good that permeated throughout Medúlla, minus the acapella and beatboxing of course.

First off I love how you can hear bits and pieces from the main characteristics of each ... read more

Hey there, Katio. To celebrate 300 followers I have decided to do something different. A QNA! Because I have not seen anyone else do this before. Basically, you ask me a question, I give you an answer, and I'll put up your #1 favorite album to represent you so I can add your question to my list. If you don't have any questions, or are not doing community list before, that's ok, just tell me that. Ok? Good. So with that being said, do you have any questions for this fellow jester?

I don’t think writing for hours on my phone would help me and the nausea/migraines. I’m sorry 😭

Zac killed it, my favorite part of This Is Why. I'm not super crazy about the record overall, but I can see the appeal

What’s up, Kaito? I know you probably get a lot of these, but this is important. To celebrate the end of the year in music and two hundred followers, I’m creating my first community list! All you have to do is send me your top 5 singles of the year! They can be ranked or not– it doesn’t matter. Also, you can add up to two honorable mentions! Here’s my list for reference:

1. Bending Hectic by The Smile
2. The Gods Must Be Crazy by Armand Hammer
3. Sorry Not Sorry by Tyler the Creator
4. The Blades by Squid
5. SCARING THE HOES by JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown

Honorable Mentions: We Shine At Night by Parannoul, Jenn’s Terrific Vacation by Danny Brown

Each song in the top five equals 2 points. Each honorable mention equals 1 point . After I get some entries, I’m gonna tally up all the points to see what the top songs were. I’ll contact you when the list is out! Peace! ✌️

Whoever made Pandora is a fan of torturing people like me…

Tell me what my 24 HOUR COOLDOWN has lasted 3.5 days now and I can’t listen to Tate!

About

He/Him | Drummer | Sydney, AUS | πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡―πŸ‡΅

Just another music head on this website with an absolute clusterfuck of a music taste. Library is my vinyl collection 🎢.

Joined in Sept 2022 but started reviewing regularly in Feb 2023. I'm pretty easy to please so most of my ratings are positive. Also I'm Aussie, so I swear a lot (deal with it).

Idk what else to put here, so for the rest, I’ll say cheers! 🍻 (I follow back!)
