Jockstrap - I Love You Jennifer B
80

The best produced album of the year. Glitchy and punchy instrumentals with some nice folky breaks in between. What genre even is this? Like yeah it fits in the box of Art Pop and "Experimental" (which is a dumb genre name, NOT EVEN A DESCRIPTOR A GENRE). But it's so much more than that. The album has shit ton of different sounds and influences, ranging from Glitch to Chamber Pop. Also, when I say that it's the best produced album of the year I MEAN IT WITH EVERY BONE OF MY BODY. The ... read more

Björk - Atopos
90

having sex synchronized to the drums of the song is gon be crazy. starts at a decent speed than stops and the picks up the slack and becomes intense. This will go to my expanding sex playlist featuring the well known classic Cbat. It also includes songs from Lingua Ignota, Merzbow and Captain Beefheart. Thanks Bjork for the banger, Perhaps you'll also become famous do to another person playing the song during their naughty time, Bjork should take over TikTok, and the world. ... read more

長谷川白紙 [Hakushi Hasegawa] - 草木萌動 [Sōmoku hōdō]
60

Quirky and psychotic, Hakushi Hasegawa's debut EP is a showcase of their knowledge of music theory in a very flashy manner. Just barely clocking at 24 minutes, Somoku Hodo doesn't outstay its welcome, in fact it makes you want more by the end of it.

Cryalot - Icarus
40

This is cute I guess. The production is pretty darn great but like it doesn't do much when three out of the five tracks on your ep sound very similar to another. Still the story is cute and Hell is Here is a bop (yes it grew on me!). I can see why people will really dig this, It's well made music but I'm keeping my eyes on the #JOCKSTRAPSWEEP

Arctic Monkeys - There'd Better Be A Mirrorball
90

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino but refined and and almost perfected. Alex turner really shows of his emotional depth vocally and the instrumental is genuinely beautiful. If you want something like their first albums this isn't for you but if you like their mellower moments it's definitely worth checking out. It's at their most emotionally and melodically mature they've ever been

Sachiko M - I'm Here - short stay -
NR

***100th review Special***

Technically I shouldn't be doing this. I actually had over 200 reviews at some point but I decided to delete most of them as I believe they didn't offer any insightful commentary and they were unfunny. But i never really did a 100 review special so i guess i could do it now!
I Thank you for following me and liking my reviews, because I might've not been here. You encouraged me to go out of my comfort zone and discover music that i wouldn't have listened to otherwise. ... read more

Okay Kaya - Watch This Liquid Pour Itself
50

This is your average Indie/folk pop record but everything just slightly...... off. The lyrics are off kilter and funny in a somewhat post-internet age way. The singing is very soft, almost unsettling. The instrumental pallete sounds exactly like the cover when I mean exactly I mean EXACTLY. If I had to describe the album in one word it'd be: uncomfortable. You should give this a cheeky listen if you like quirky art pop, that's also kinda weird. Some of the songs feeling a little underdeveloped ... read more

France Gall - Poupée de cire, poupée de son

This made me feel like falling in love for the first time. Truly happiness in its purest form. I just could not stop smiling. I finally found my perfect comfort album. Inner peace has been achieved

Hayley Williams - Colour Me In

Panic! at the Disco - Death of a Bachelor
40

keep crazy=genius, house of memories and golden days, improve the production and you have a decent EP!
The rest is good ol' panic with a couple of tracks trying to be some sort of frank sinatra tribute. The problem is that Brendon is not Frank Sinatra. He's Brendon

Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman - Music for Peace of Mind
60

it's interesting to go back in time and see just how much music has progressed over the years. this is a very cute selection of instrumental tracks that transport back in a time were wwii was just a couple years over and Everyone was starting to feel optimistic again.

Space Age Pop
Easy listening inspired by the optimism of the Space Age of the 1950s and 1960s and its excitement about mankind's space exploration. This album sounds surprisingly extraterrestrial (well, at least how the media ... read more

Corea - Los peores 7 peores km de mi vida
80

This album sounds like a nightmare. You're running. It's night. The weather is VERY stormy. You're away from home. the wind blows you left and right. you're thrown into a lake and almost freeze to death. but the wind blows you out of the lake. you're attacked by wolves. but eventually you do reach home. but the wind blows your house's walls and roof. It sounds ridiculous but once you experience it you'll see where I'm getting at. so if you want to not sleep tonight, give this a listen, you ... read more

Panic! at the Disco - Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!
10

I'm sad that there are so many bands in the word that could be getting attention and that struggle to make a living and we have mr. urine himself living the good life and being successful of making the blandest art possible. Being defended by his army of fans in every turn and step.

We should really just ignore panic. But we won't. We can't. he hit it big and we won't avoid him till he's forty years old. his fans will praise the record and people will be tricked into thinking it's something ... read more

Funny album title.

If you like production that's incredibly futuristic yet incomprehensible at points, this will be your playground where you'll make friends that might scare the living crap out of you from their weirdness but you still love them cause they make the best hugs. This mf will have a bright career ahead of them

YOU'RE MY WANDERWAAAAAAALLLLLLL.

When the gul herself is about to release her debut album: *dresses like a gentleman*

CHVRCHES - The Bones of What You Believe
80

from my latest reviews you might've come to the conclusion that I don't like pop music. I have to admit that I do start to have a slight disinterest towards that genre. When I'm talking about pop music I mean stuff like synthpop, alt-pop, electropop etc. I still occasionally find some releases that appeal to me but for the most part I might find the album as technically well made but kinda uninteresting. You're seeing the band's name in this review, you might recognise them for making pop ... read more

"returned for this historyofdecay review. The simplest collection of words I withheld within the crevices of my mind so that it can be understood by aotyers and gods alike that it can also be applied in the context of the quality of this review is "yet another historical banger review". Detractors of this statement should be ashamed of their very narrow brain cells and perhaps reconsider if it's worth it, like sitting down to think if swiftly kicking the underbelly of an undeserving dog is worth it."
