Pinned Review
Warning: dangerous levels of sarcasm and blatant near-fanfiction ahead. Reader be advised.

I was thinking on my previous reviews of the Psychosexual's Torch the Faith and its reboot Psycho Synner (with 9 (!) debut records released at once), the doomed metal projects from Jeremy Spencer (aka Grym Synner, formerly Devil Daddy, formerly of 5 Finger Death Punch). In light of recent-ish events, I decided to go in depth as my final say on this band.
In reality, the 9 (!?) album release ... read more

Whoever put "worst artworks" as a tag can go fly a kite and have a nice day. The artwork is fine and is part of the marketing/aesthetic. You haven't seen bad artwork if you consider it part of the "worst".
I love this album. Genesis Owusu is amazing with how he melds different moods and genres together, with very effective lyricism and delivery. While I still prefer Smiling with No Teeth (pretty much a masterpiece), any album that makes me immediately go "I have to ... read more
*Roger: A Tragedy in 480 Characters*

Hey Roger, what's going on?
Hey that's a neat idea, reinterpreting your work, a fresh coat of paint; that's cool, Roger.
You're doing Dark Side of the Moon? Huh, ok then.
What's the first track?
Oh wow, Money! Such an integral track from that record, a classic. Can't wait to hear how you switch it up!

Ok, a little bluesy, nice...ok...

Wait, why is it 7 minutes?
Roger?
Roger are you ok?

The second of two albums. More usual dreck. Hard to remember anything from this and I can't check on official channels because the band erased everything lol.
With the average scores this artist has on AOTY I expected apocalyptic levels of bad, which piqued my curiosity - could either be deserved critique, or overexaggerated dismissal. It's the latter for me, at least for this EP...granted, it is the best rated and most recent one, and I have no clue who this is outside of finding this page on happenstance and listening to this EP, so take this take with the whole salt shaker, not just a grain.
What I got here was merely fine & passable pop rap. ... read more

Respect for listening to all of Six Feet Under's shitography, I am almost finished myself but this experience has only shown me the perseverance it requires to do this 🫡.

The fact that you took the time to listen to Psycho Synner's whole discography...
You've earned my respect

Richard Dawson, Voivod, and Steely Dan in your 100s 😳
A lot of other based picks too, but those ones are ones I don't see too often

Hey ! I’m making a community list for the end of the world, and I would love for you to contribute.
Prompt:
“The surrounding buildings, in ruins. The last survivors, scrambling to find anything that remains. Fire flickers in the pitch-black, creating just a sliver of radiance. Miraculously, you find an old device that can play music. You can only play one album as the battery is nearly dead. Knowing that you have little time left, what is the one album that you choose to listen to as you watch the world crumble before your eyes?”
The album topic could discuss a disastrous time, its sound could fit the vibe of a post apocalyptic setting, or it could be one of your favorite albums that you would want to experience for the last time.
Please provide the artist, album, and an explanation as to why you chose that specific album.
Thank you for reading <3
