Green Day - Father of All...
70
This sounds like a song you’d hear in a car advert. Seriously though, this is actually pretty good. The verses kinda remind me of some Mutemath stuff which is always good, but it sounds absolutely nothing like Billie Joe at that part, which is also very off-putting. The chorus is really good, his vocals become kinda normal again, and it’s just kinda fun throughout, even though it’s nowhere near one of the best. I’m concerned how this is gonna fit into an album, ... read more
Fall Out Boy - Dear Future Self (Hands Up)

How? How did this happen? Patrick Stump has auto tune on his vocals. Wyclef Jean is on the track, and he doesn’t even fit. The chorus is “Hands up, ready for the boom, 
Never mind the rocket launcher, talking 'bout a tune, 
You can hear us comin' with the zoom, Listen to the boom, boom, we are breaking through”. The music video is the band members eating ice cream. How did it come to this point? Fall Out Boy’s really consistent... at making me consistently more ... read more
Swans - Cop

With one less bassist and one less drummer, you’d expect this album to be less heavy than Filth, but they’ve only managed to make it more heavy, and with the lyrical content, more sickening.

The band’s sound didn’t evolve much between the last album and this, but you can definitely tell the difference in sound between Filth and Cop, as Cop manages to be considerably more repetitive and harsh on the listener, which does lead to there being a slight decrease in quality ... read more

Daft Punk - Discovery

The first half of this is just banger after banger, and while the second half isn’t as magnificent, it’s still really goddamn good!

Scattered among these many bangers are more low-key tracks that are just perfect at building up this atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re floating in space, with Nightvision being just the perfect example of this. Digital Love is possibly the most colourful explosion of sound that I’ve ever heard, and it seems to be part of a trilogy ... read more

What is a score that both you and Fantano agree with? (It's for a list)

It took me so long to ask you this but... do you watch I Hate Everything?

Supp! I'm doing a challenge at the moment, the "out of my comfort-zone challenge". This is a challenge where I need to listen projects, I normally wouldn't listen too. After some listen I need to state my opinions in a review. If you would suggest an album to me, it would be great! As long as they aren't metal, hip hop or rap! (experimental/abstract hip hop, weird rap is allowed though)
