- Memorable and defining; 96
- Early 2000s rap rock with poignant political messages that are still relevant today in tracks that are hard-hitting and just plain good
- Very easy to loop as the flow here works incredibly well
- Love this album art. It's brash, rugged, and gets across the vibe of the record so well
- Let me get this out of the way: Flobot's music is not subtle, and it's very pointed. They are not apologizing and they're political, so this album may not as ... read more
- Short yet memorable; 90
- The Flobots flow and style emerges with fiddle and trumpet work alongside poignant, progressive, and meaningful lyrics
- Fun loop with "Prelude" being a pleasant but not brash start
- Very distinct album art since this style was never replicated with their later works
- If people like indie or alt rock, I think this earlier record's right up their alley
- Platypus was Flobot's foundational album, establishing their sound with a strong identity for ... read more
- Goofy Halloween fun; 91
- Throwbacks and soundscape collide with a topping of synth banger in this odd and over-the-top concept album that is just really funny
- Lovely little loop at 31 minutes and 7 tracks
- One of GoL's most colorful and interesting album covers to do, and it fits perfectly
- Share it with horror movie enjoyers and Halloween lovers; people that like things that go bump in the night
- Genuinely, this is their best "mixed" record, and it's also ... read more
- Mishmashed sibling; 63
- A collection of themes that explore and hint at the different corners of GoL's served up in bite-size lengths
- This would have a fine loop without the mid section of the record, specifically the two "Rain Scrolls" tracks and "Boadicea", which can leave it a little too much of the same
- Ironically enough, I prefer this album art over Wandering Tales I's by a mile. The trees and the little wizard next to the campfire do so much more for ... read more
- Pirate synth fun; 85
- A collection of swashbuckling, booty-looting bangers that hoist the flag of exploration, coasts for buried treasure, but doesn't make ye do the dreaded marshal's dance
- The loop isn't bad, just mostly a tad too long at 14 tracks and 49 minutes
- Another GoL slapper with the album art, easily the most intricate and detailed, and it works
- DnD fans, people that like pirates, or the rare soundscape/ambiance fan
- Storm Haven's nautical and miscreant ... read more
- Serviceable synth; 80
- The chronological sequel to Winterstead continues the travelling, episodic theme with a greater emphasis on patches of silence and ambience but with more instrumental focus
- The loop isn't that strong, for whatever reason. It both lacks cohesiveness and a strong identity compared to Leaving Winterstead or Wandering Tales 2
- Album art's eh, it's just melting candles, and I love candles. It doesn't really do well to convey the concept
- If people ... read more
- Sweet & Unique; 90
- Calming and expansive ambiance paints a vivid picture of time on the road, combining soothing dungeon synth sounds and real-world elements
- Undoubtedly GoL's best loop. At 3 songs and 23 minutes, it is criminally easy to loop
- Beautiful abstract album art, the use of verticality and foreground is great
- Leaving Winterstead might be GoL's most accessible record on account of how short and simple it is
- Even among the Wandering Tales entries, this record ... read more
- Troubled but enjoyable; 87
- Regret and pain bloom in a gloomy flower that's stubborn and outright mean-spirited at points, lashing out with strict tracks and stripped-down vocals as another part of their struggles
- The loop here is, eh, it's okay. Sometime it feels like a pain sandwich; two loaves of sad tracks with some anger in the middle
- Very, very strong album art here that works with the themes of the record and honestly, there should be more albums with people just ... read more
- Iri glazer; 95
- This is a glorious emotional wreck of an album, dealing with trauma and frustration and communicated in a truly dysfunctional way
- Yeah, I loop this album. Yeah, it doesn't have a great loop, but it's too damn catchy and good
- Quite possibly my favorite BH album art. Its intentionally odd and ugly and weird because this is not a clean record
- Dog, this album fucking SLAPS; it embodies the odd, post-Saturation trilogy sound, and it's so personal, so I ... read more
- Strong end; 93
- Boppin, bangin, slappin, and full-fucking-force at some points, Sat 3 is a fitting culmination of the trilogy and BH's distinct sound
- Despite being the shortest Sat, both in length and track number, its loop potential isn't as good as 2, but it's better than 3
- The weakest thing overall about the Sat albums are the album art, they're just, yeah, fine. Sat 3 is not different
- While I think Boogie may be too drastic as a first song to introduce people ... read more
- The BH Goldilocks; 94
- A record that embraces the Brockhampton oddness and refines the trilogy formula with back-to-back bangers and more successful experimentation
- With one less interlude track and a shorter run time, Sat 2 excels in its loop where 1 and 3 fail
- Album art's the best out of the three because the car's the most iconic (despite Ameer's grin ringing eerily in retrospect)
- To me, Sat 2 is the perfect intro record for the band, not to mention its stacked song ... read more
- Messy but fun; 87
- A creative and bumpin fusion of multiple different styles on an album that redefined boyband and broke Brockhampton onto the musical scene
- Not the strongest loop here on account of a meh middle, but the skit interludes are a neat inclusion that would normally be out of place on a hip hop record
- Better than 3 but not as good as 2, the album art's fine
- With catchy tracks and great vibes, Sat 1 is very accessible, so share it with any rap or hip hop fans
- In ... read more
- By itself: 85
- As a whole: 100 (see explanation further down)
- It's all come down to the last episode, and this is the most tense and dramatic episode out of them. "No turning back" welcomes you into the final act and "The Unknown" greets you in fitting fashion at the end. Both the game's mechanics and the music for the last episode is easily the weakest--an issue the second game has as well, but that's not to say the tracks here are poor. The brevity and ... read more
- Perfect dread; 100
- Despite the actual game content of the episode being very meh, the third chapter's music is the best from the first game, without a doubt. Things have gotten worse, all ends lead to sadness and death, and the streets and homes are ridden with ghosts, alive and dead, Seriously, I cannot get enough of this section
- Stand-out track is none other than "Immortal Beloved" because of how its utilized in the game mechanics. For the uninitiated, you enter a house ... read more
- So close to perfection; 95
- Tragedy and the past bear its sullen face in the 9 potent tracks of the second episode, and if not for the stellar selection of episode three, Memories would easily be the best out of the four
- Picking a star track is difficult, so it's a tie between "Rest in peace" and "Malum in se". The latter track's title is strongly related to the game, and both songs are just so incredibly potent to the point that it's child's play ... read more
Since The Letter and the other chapters of The Last Door (divided by episode) are nothing but the containers for the levels, and are done so on this site, I will be subjecting each review to more brief and rapid reviews with a longer discussion with the fourth and final episode (of the first game)
- Addictive melancholy; 90
- Iconic and perfect for the intro to a greater plot that all starts with a letter and an empty mansion full of secrets
- To me, the first episode's music is the most ... read more
- Sneaky good; 85
- Angsty, 20 something year old rock with banging drums, raw lyrics, and expectation-breaking fun
- The loop isn't amazing, and I blame the 2nd track, "ballad of blue bear" both dragging down the record's overall quality and it being such a weak follow-up to the banger opener
- Not their best album art but it does look like hair from a shower drain so yeah that's interesting, I guess
- You're sharing it with hipsters and/or angsty people, ... read more
- Strange mishmash; 87
- Skit-ridden, goofy, odd, and that signature DOOM flow that's strong even with the various features
- For the genre and style, the record has an awkward loop. While Supervillain Intro and Thank Ya are cool bookenders, Bump's Message and the track number detracts from them
- Iconic fucking album art with the stone slab and golden mask, one of the best tbh
- This is a great follow-up from mm food or Madvillainy but its eccentricism can definitely be a turn off, ... read more
- Bright & bold; 90
- Fun, lighthearted, and seriously competent dream and electronic pop that brings a welcomed sound and vibe to Gizz's discography
- With 10 short tracks and a 43 minute length, its loop is pleasant and easy
- The colors and inspiration for the album art are beautiful but honestly it's just ok; the pattern and bright white background's kinda eh
- One of Butterfly 3k's strongest aspect is how accessible and easy it is to listen to, so share it with ... read more
- Grim fun; 87
- With distinct chapters, powerful atmosphere, and a compelling structure, Guild of Lore's travel will captivate you in the evilest way possible
- Even with a 17 minute closing track, the loop on this album is very pleasant
- One of my favorite album arts from GoL, without a doubt
- I like sharing this with people and being annoying :) I recommend you do the same
- As GoL's 4th project, it shows incredible grow and experimentation; the aforementioned 17 minute track and ... read more
