Tranquilizer is better.
What.
I've just been casually listening through OPN's discography over the past few days to prepare myself for his new album. I haven't really been rating anything, just having it on in the background while I do other things and not really paying attention to it. I can't really speak on the quality of what I was listening to, but I do remember generally enjoying most of what I heard but thinking that I wouldn't care about ... read more

Cicierega - [7/8]
IT'S BEEN-
I'm in a weird position with this album. Because, spoiler alert: I like it. A lot. Unironically. And that's the problem. You see, if you've read my reviews for Neil's previous albums, you know I do consider parody works to be "art," even if it's initial intent was to mock the original. If it evokes emotions in the viewer, then it has succeeded in what it was set out to do. But at the end of the day, you're still ... read more
Cicierega - [6/8]
The perfect Halloween album (that you can play around your family).
I'll be honest, this really isn't what I expected I would get when I jumped into this record. While I was aware that this was the most acclaimed album of original material from Neil, I didn't know what the contents of it would be. So, imagine my surprise when I found out that this is actually a concept album full of horror themes, all wrapped up in a very enjoyable synthpop package. And part ... read more
Xiu Xiu - [EXTRA]
Finally, a Xiu Xiu album that's MADE FOR ME.
Holy shit we are so back. I won't lie to you all, after Ignore Grief I did start to get a bit worried about the future of Xiu Xiu and what direction the band was going towards on later releases. While I didn't necessarily dislike the more horror direction that was taken on a couple of the previous albums by the band, it did make me a bit anxious that Jamie was almost backing themself into a creative corner by ... read more
NC&TBS - [EXTRA]
Just know, if this ended at track 6 I would've rated this like a 9/10.
God man, I'm kinda at a loss for how to start this review. I'm really not sure what to say here as the music mostly speaks for itself. It just feels like yet another Nick Cave album, and if that interests you then you'll probably enjoy this. If not then you definitely won't be getting anything spectacular out of this experience. I know it hasn't seemed like it from how ... read more
Cicierega - [5/8]
THE BEST. THE BEST. THE BEST.
God DAMN Neil! Considering this was supposed to be a "prequel" album to Mouth Sounds, I was not expecting this level of quality whatsoever. Even if there's a couple tracks here that don't necessarily sound the best, it does not take away from just how much fun I had listening to this thing. In my last review I had made a statement about how "joke albums" should be considered real music, just from the fact that they ... read more

List of "Disturbing" albums that I've seen people talk about on iceberg charts and through recommendations. But honestly, most of these probably aren't even that disturbing.
