GOING THROUGH THE MU ESSENTIALS #8: THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS (GOING TO START DOING THESE OUT OF ORDER NOW)
did david bowie actually predict kanye west getting addicted to nitrous oxide on the album cover????
honestly i don't have much to say for this album other than i don't really understand how anyone wouldn't be able to love it. i mean for fucks sake it's ziggy stardust, every song is great there isn't a single miss or weak ... read more
this album fucking sucks but i can't act like NOKIA isn't having me dancing offbeat like a white girl such a banger
Everyone talks about Kanye trying not to blink in the music video but tbh the verse was so good I probably forgot to blink too
jpegmafia knew his fans had nothing going on on valentines so he went ahead and dropped soty 2025 and moved on excuse me why is this the most beautiful beat I’ve ever listened to in my life
GOING THROUGH THE MU ESSENTIALS #7: THE MONEY STORE
yo am i cooked or am i fried for this take
one point whoever reads this review should know is my favorite genre of music is experimental/industrial hip-hop. aside from Kendrick Lamar, my favorite artist at least as of now is rapper/producer JPEGMAFIA, and I've enjoyed many projects that fall under this category such as Kanye West's Yeezus, slowthai's UGLY, BROCKHAMPTON's SATURATION trilogy, etcetera etcetera. while going ... read more
made an incredible album even better, was legitimately considering giving this a 100 but some of the side b songs aren’t as strong as side a (obviously so but it’s just enough to push it from a perfect rating)
Favorite new song is Come & Get Me legit one of the best rap beats I’ve heard in my life and I’m not kidding it’s fucking perfect
for the record, ive watched scru for his react content on hip-hop for a long time, but i never got into his music mostly because everytime i did it was some awful corny dax shit, especially his last diss track on akademiks cause what the fuck was that
anyways, this song (aside from the cover) already seemed to have higher production quality than usual for scru, and i did sort of get convinced when i saw scru posting the song trending at the top of twitter, so i thought i'd just spend 5 ... read more
abel getting it from a SHARK 😭😭
wake me up is the best song btw that chord progression is fucking nasty
GOING THROUGH THE MU ESSENTIALS #6: LIFT YOUR SKINNY FISTS LIKE ANTENNAS TO HEAVEN
“They don’t sleep on the beach anymore”
I needed to listen to this album a couple times before I could really compose my thoughts about it fully, but really what more is there to say about it?
The album is fucking incredible, I don’t know what else to say, it’s an incredibly produced, awe-striking album all the way through, it doesn’t get old, it was WAY ahead of its time ... read more
i do not give two fucks this song fucking slaps , ildmlfy was my aoty so getting more of it is nothing but a net positive for me
YOUR POLITICS IS A GANG SIGN

Excuse me, you're telling me i have to listen to an album called "Emotion"? You know i'm a nonchalant dreadhead right? I don't feel emotion anymore, it's a distraction. If you meet any man who talks about his feelings or God forbid cries, he's simply a beta cuck loser who hasn't escaped the matrix. These filthy feminist manchilds are trying to stray us away from set and stone masculine values. Getting us to consider what women are considering and listen ... read more
GOING THROUGH THE MU ESSENTIALS #5: IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING
I felt my soul leave my body listening to the last song everytime the music swelled when he said the word king.
I gotta give it to this album, it’s got great production and great lyrics, what more could you ask for? I mean the amount of different sounds it covers in its five tracks runtime is crazy, truly a mastery of music production and composition, especially in 1969
The lyrics are also incredible, they’re so ... read more
GOING THROUGH THE MU ESSENTIALS #5: SPIDERLAND
man these post rock albums ain’t shit-
I had no fucking words when this album ended, the way it communicates its theming is incredible
I see takes all the time about how lyrics don’t matter in an album and this is the ultimate antithesis of that, even though personally I think production matters a bit more, (songs with bad production and good lyrics are generally worse than songs with good production and bad lyrics, plus albums that ... read more
GOING THROUGH THE MU ESSENTIALS #4: REMAIN IN LIGHT
dude this album is fucking awesome
The best part of this record is undoubtedly the production, the African influence combined with unique melodies and instrumentation makes for an album with an instantly recognizable sound. I was lowkey expecting like a moody rock album going into this so the first track’s sound definitely came as a pleasant surprise
The main weak part of this album is definitely the lyrics, they’re not bad but ... read more
i would never have thought in a million years that i would be listening to kendricks best produced album on a random friday and learn it was almost entirely produced by fucking jack antonoff
ok actual review + rating
i'll never forget the experience of one minute just enjoying my day and the next minute having an entire kendrick album in front of me out of nowhere, ready to be listened to.
this album is fucking awesome, if we ignore weak points such as gnx and peekaboo, every song is ... read more
GOING THROUGH THE MU ESSENTIALS PART 3: MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION
all of these reviews making puns on the band's name meanwhile i'm here questioning what the fuck a merriweather post pavilion is
decent album all the way through, it did face a weak mid-section where the songs sort of started blending in, but a quick change in sound at tracks 10 and 11 helped the album bounce back at the end.
best track by far for me was also frightened, that bass throughout the song is so fucking ... read more
GOING THROUGH THE MU ESSENTIALS PART 2: LOVELESS
(I AM NOT LISTENING TO RADIOHEAD BECAUSE THEY ARE ZIONISTS)
the more I listened through the tracks on the album the more it felt samey and repetitive. one of the main compliments I hear given to this album is its futuristic sound for its release in 1991, and the extent they were able to take one guitar in terms of sound.
I do agree this album does sound relatively modern compared to its contemporaries at the time, effectively pioneering the ... read more
