AJJ - Can't Maintain
98

boomerang here.

i try not to let emotional feelings towards an album dictate my final score, so just like death and hatred to mankind, this will have a biased and unbiased score. except i put it up here this time because i love this album a lot.

this album is gorgeous in every way. i mean it. 77 is so low to me and like :((( i guess ill tell a personal story here which will explain my biased score.

in a 7 month long manic state, i found a lot of music and ideas i looked up to highly. from ... read more

AJJ - Live at the Crescent Ballroom
90

boomerang here.

the hell is there to say about a live album? especially a folk punk live album?

well, a few things. this live album takes spins on many of the tracks that they perform that greatly improve the tracks. ive always heard that you should never listen to a rock band's live albums because they are just so empty, but this is just so full of life to me. the emotion is still in the performance and lyrics, its still hell all over, but just add in some guitars. hell, they add audience ... read more

Bladee - Gluee
72

boomerang here.

bladee first album.

dont mind that, its just an inside joke between me and my friends. my feelings on this album are really, really odd. under every circumstance i would hate it, but i just dont. it drags on, all the tracks blend together, i can only name one i care about. yet, i kind of like it for that.

i wish i had more to say about this album. its wonderful background music, but i have a bit of difficulty actually focusing on it. its very... odd... there are times that i ... read more

The Scary Jokes - Burn Pygmalion!!! A Better Guide to Romance
92

boomerang here.

it took a while for me to enjoy this truly. theres still some patches for me, but im still happy with it.

if you're here critiquing the 8 bit instruments and lyrics for just being how they are, you've reached the wrong place and i dont know what the hell you were expecting. half of the negative reviews ive heard from peers or from websites say the album is too cutesy, and i still stand by my statement of what the fuck were you expecting. and especially not expecting a concept ... read more

Black Dresses - WASTEISOLATION
100

alright, im not gonna write a long one, but jesus does the ending hit so god damn hard.

Ghost Mice - DEATH AND HATRED TO MANKIND
24

note: there are multiple different track lists i have come across for this album. i am going off of the 35 track release for this review. my ratings still probably would not change regardless, hell maybe they would go lower.

boomerang here.

i cannot express my hate for this album in a review, but ill express how i feel.

i really, really love folk punk. its one of the few genres i can confidently tell people i enjoy, whether it be the most obscure bands to the big guys like ajj and pat the ... read more

AJR - The Click
90

boomerang here.

huh. i really wasnt expecting a 24, if im honest.

yeah, i get what people are gonna say. "it sounds the same, its generic pop, the guys suck lol" but to be honest, theres a little factor that maybe is everywhere that i dont see but is really what makes this album special to me. it feels like pop music created for introverts. im a heavily introverted person if its not pretty obvious. im the person with shitty music taste that everyone else except people in my ... read more

EGGPRIEST - GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE
88

boomerang here.

i dont have too much to say here, but this was a wonderful next step after party city.

i genuinely was about to get into tears over this ep. i know, im an idiot who doesnt even know egg in any way other than random twitter posts and the two things hes released under this name, but holy hell i just felt there was so much of a change from party city to this and it was just so wonderfully done. one of the main issues i felt party city has was that some tracks felt somewhat more ... read more

ミラクルミュージカル [Miracle Musical] - Hawaii: Part II
72

boomerang here.

short review, cuz im in chemistry class right now.

this album is a very jumpy album, going from one idea to the next very quickly. for as highly as i praise this album, its a little surprising to some that i rate it this low. ive never clicked too much with albums. i feel songs that stand wonderfully on their own just kill each other for dominance on an album frequently and it *murders* a sense of harmony (hehe). this album i personally find to be a good example of this idea. ... read more

EGGPRIEST - PARTY CITY
79

note: i have not watched much of eggpriests youtube content, watched progress videos, or have even been involved in a conversation with him. this is coming from someone who only knows eggpriest because my friends really like his work, a single comment i saw on a 100 gecs video, and a bunch of twitter retweets that appear on my timeline.

boomerang here.

still not working on any reviews i promised, lmao

this album is definitely an experience. whether its good or bad is up to you, but ... read more

Black Dresses - Forever In Your Heart
89

note: i have listened to this album more, and get to continue my little story. the number still stands at 89, but theres a change in opinion for some of what i wrote. i also briefly mention a kind of bonus thing that happens at the end of the tape, it does not affect the score.

boomerang here.

you know you've taken too long to write your love and affection for stupid little bitches review when the disbanded band comes out with a whole ass new album.

so, funny story. i almost got the ... read more

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
96

going to be honest, i hate longer songs a lot (i dont like going past 3:30), but man did i not feel the length on these. ive also never vibed that hard on my first listen of an album either, thats honestly..... wonderful....

Cavetown - Lemon Boy
99

all of you hold a gun to my head and tell me to write this one tonight for me.

AJJ - Good Luck Everybody
83

unpopular opinion here.

this is fucking great.

this album sends me into tears every single time i listen to it, its just immediate comfort for me. maybe i hold it very close because it was my first time listening to an ajj album on release, but since the first day, this still hits so fucking hard. i get it, its cliche, the lyrics suck, but i just cant care about what others think about this. hell, i place this above cant maintain. i just cannot get myself to place it lower, and though people ... read more

The Scary Jokes - April Fools
96

boomerang here

this album still hasnt been reviewed by anybody else. thats somewhat saddening to me, knowing i wrote this originally 9 months ago.

recently (as in 3 months ago), i had bought a preorder of a cassette for this album. isnt that cool? i finally started buying physical media, and cassettes are my thing now. i bought a two tone shell version where its pink/white. i have a burn pygmalion one arriving soon, and a fwawn tape too. im incredibly excited about these purchases as a scary ... read more

Mario Galaxy Orchestra - Super Mario Galaxy: Original Soundtrack
93

I have played my fair share of video games in my time, and I've heard quite a few wonderful soundtracks, but none come as close to the Mario Galaxy OST. This soundtrack by far was the most memorable video game soundtrack to me. It perfectly matches with the game, each little scene has its own music, and it all is wonderfully done. Some times the tracks will be upbeat, readiness, and just ready to go back home. Other times, it gives a sense of curiosity, tranquility, and overall unfamiliarity. ... read more
