Unfortunately pretty underwhelming comeback song after their best work ever last album. While this is something of a new vibe for them it also just sorta feels like something that’s been done a million times before by other bands, and so that holds it back. If this is just a sorta cute lighthearted fan-pleaser song to show they can still do stuff more similar to their early work then fair enough, but this lacks the exciting evolution and boundary pushing that they’d been leaning ... read more
Easily bladee’s most lyrically dense and esoteric work to date, or at least since the fool and crest. The way this serves as a spiritual sequel to cold visions but also as a direct expansion of last year’s martyr EP whilst also expanding upon ongoing symbolism across his discography is nothing but genius and makes for a thrilling listen. The emotional arc of this album being about turning yourself into a martyr for your own personal divine cause and spiritual belief systems as a way ... read more
feels like an intro song that's building to something even more, really like it as a sort of prologue to this new era and very excited to see what comes next
all this site does is complain about stuff that really isnt that deep and this song's reception is a prime example; have some whimsy and joy in your lives for once, not everything is that serious, listen to the damn song and nod your head, stop treating every piece of music like it's supposed to be helpless child or shine on you crazy diamond. the unnecessary degree of pretentious whining here is so much more cringe than the song itself will ever be
i mean im kinda obliged to love this one
but even then this has gotta just generally be one of my fave recent songs hes made
One of my fave bands ever but man why does every song they make from Serenity of Suffering onwards sound the exact same; where is the interesting production or sense of groove, the unexpected switch ups or influences. It’s sad that they’ve spent the last 10 years just getting progressively more and more uninspired; at least this has okay mixing unlike that shit ass last album
One of, without a doubt, the most fucking abysmal pieces of dogshit I’ve ever heard
I have a lot to say on this one, whether it’s a long or concise review is hard to say yet but I will be writing one soon, fucking incredible work of art
After 4 and a half very long years, the unmistakable DB are finally back with their 5th album, Nightmare Tripping; to say i've been excited for this record is an understatement, anyone who knows me well enough knows how much I love these guys and have been slowly working to convert my friends into fans as well.
Their previous release, 2021's Amazing Things, was, in my opinion, easily their best work up til that point, serving as a bizarre, introspective, fun and super inventive ... read more
one of the most innovative and exciting new bands atm, if you like quirky prince-esque new wave with noise-pop and dance-punk elements you'll love this, insanely infectious grooves, charismatic vocals and melodies all around, and brilliant production that enhances the catchiness of each song whilst also leaning into their experimental undertones all combine to make this a genuinely brilliant debit
NEVER IN MY LIFE DID I THINK I WOULD HEAR CHAD KROEGER ON A NU METAL SONG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER
i jokingly say this a lot but this is one of the true genuine rare instances where i can say that giving this a 100 feels way too low of a score, legitimately one of the best things ever created in any artform ever
Some of yall on this site are so joyless and caught up in finding inane things to complain about i swear, this doesnt even sound like sleep token beyond extremely surface level comparisons, you just cant be bothered to come up with actual critiques for why you dislike it (and for the record, ur totally valid in disliking it if thats just how you feel, but make sure u arent just saying that bc everyone else made you subconsciously think it was bad)
Who gives a fuck if it sounds too pop or ... read more
top 3 project in their discog and miles better than sempiternal (same applies to amo too) but nobody is prepared for that conversation
![Burqa Boyz - Miami Arab Emirates [Streaming Reissue]](https://cdn2.albumoftheyear.org/100x0/album/1386490-miami-arab-emirates-reissue_221736.jpg)
THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE CRAZIEST THINGS IVE EVER HEARD, LISTEN TO THIS IMMEDIATELY (as an arab im probably biased but idgaf)
Disclaimer: I am a huge fan of Kanye but obviously don’t endorse where he is at now as a person at all, I simply love his music and who he used to be
I think this is one of the most touching, meaningful and truly human works of art ever created, and the collective body of work on display here transcends what a lot of people think of as an album on here, this is a soul on display and I find it hard to imagine listening to this album (and I mean really listening, not simply playing it and ... read more

On DarkCat's review of DON BROCO - Nightmare Tripping
"@DarkCat just asked rob during the album listening party they're doing rn and he says spiral staircase will come out hopefully sometime in the near future and is "one of the best ideas i've had for a song", no idea what that means but ig that answers the question of it being missing"
On DarkCat's review of DON BROCO - Nightmare Tripping
"Still can’t believe they finally released the one scrapped song from the amazing things sessions (swimming pools), actually mindblowingly good album and worth the 5 years imo
Now just gotta wait and see if that one song that was on the original tracklist puzzle during the hype man video (spiral staircase) gets released as a bonus track in a few months since it was supposed to be the original closer for the album"
On H1DD3N_1N_TH3_ST4T1C's review of Ice Nine Kills - The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood
"@ST4T1C if you like the silver scream then definitely do every trick in the book as that's sorta the prototype album (being based entirely on literature though), but predator becomes the prey is also an underrated classic that goes so hard, so probably either of those next!"

"@GabrielAOTY theyre one of the most anti-ai bands in the scene atm so i cant say i get where that comparison comes from"
On GabrielAOTY's review of Waterparks - ICE
"@GabrielAOTY i mean one is a spontaneous protest song in immediate response to something that happened the day beforehand, as opposed to an album that was recorded in a day but not necessarily written and assembled that fast or for the same reasons"
On GabrielAOTY's review of Waterparks - ICE
"they wrote, recorded, self-produced and mixed the song in the span of a few hours in one night, even if the sound isnt to your liking, the dedication behind it to make something even remotely this serviceable in that short timespan, on top of the fact its for such an important cause, is extremely admirable, not everyday anyone can put out a song that sounds even half as finished at this in one night. it just goes hard, it's simple, nonchalant, to the point, aggressive, and matches that with the lyrical energy and topic, whats not to appreciate?"

On redcarmine's review of Poppy - Empty Hands
"@redcarmine I’d definitely give them another chance, I think they have a really cool, sorta enter shikari type rave-punk sound to them with all the drum & bass/big beat influence and a really raw sense of aggression that shines through Jordan’s production sheen, in a way where it feels like they came up with a bunch of great unique ideas and then had Jordan produce it simply because his style would add some extra oomph to it and compliment the dreamy atmosphere, it doesn’t come off as just having him autopilot making a generic bunch of songs for them the way that some of his other recent work for other artists has"
On redcarmine's review of Poppy - Empty Hands
"@redcarmine house of protection actually has a unique flair of their own though, i feel like they were way more stylistically focused and brought jordan in just because his typical finished product sound compliments the spacey synthy sound of their material, whereas a lot of jordans other prod. work lately feels very autopilot and just samey. i dont think lumping them in with this is quite fair because they have much more sonic diversity and genre variety"
