This is proof you don't need talent to create music. There's nothing cohesive about this record.
I didn't review this, so I am gonna do this now!, Loved this record so much! Rock elements are cool and the experimental sound is persistent, also this album has so many heart felt moments that bring you back for seconds and even thirds
Pink Siifu’s BLACK!ANTIQUE explores Black identity, resistance, and legacy through a fusion of jazz, soul, and experimental hip-hop. The album channels ancestral strength, critiques systemic oppression, and celebrates cultural richness. Its warm yet defiant tone reflects both struggle and resilience, bridging past and present with raw lyricism and sonic depth.
However, I found the album unnecessarily long and, at times, a waste of time. While the opening half was strong, the latter half ... read more
Oklou's choke enough delves into the quest for meaning, balancing reality and fantasy. It blends ambient and club sounds, exploring self-perception, neo-pagan imagery, and the pursuit of intense emotions. While a fine full-length debut, I would’ve loved more upbeat production and more fleshed-out vocals like on harvest sky. Some production felt stale and could’ve used more textural elements, but the album did what it needed to do. I was even pretty happy with the Bladee ... read more
Squid’s Cowards delves into the concept of evil through nine narratives, featuring protagonists confronting cults, charisma, and apathy. The album examines the murky waters between right and wrong, blending real and imagined scenarios to explore human nature’s darker facets. Loved production, some verses could’ve been better sound-wise, still awesome record.
I’m not going to rate this but it is a 100. I think this is a good example of an artist picking the correct version for the full LP, I do love the extended and the demo (even though I was missing the production layers and elements) but everything about the version that made in on the final version of the album is perfect in every way, production, vocals, length
The Bad Fire by Mogwai is an atmospheric, brooding journey through tension and release. The album weaves eerie soundscapes, pulsing rhythms, and melancholic melodies, evoking unease and introspection. Its cinematic textures blend post-rock with electronic elements, creating an immersive, dystopian mood that feels both apocalyptic and strangely beautiful.
I thought this was a cool experience for an album—lots of the sounds were dynamic, fresh, and overall cool-sounding. The 55-minute ... read more
Few albums capture sonic world-building like SPELLLING’s The Turning Wheel. A masterclass in art pop, this record blends orchestral grandeur with electronic experimentation, creating an immersive, textured experience.
From the brass-infused Little Deer to the celestial Always, SPELLLING’s vocals and intricate layering shine. The title track’s choral arrangements and thought-provoking message elevate it further. The Future is pure enchantment—like a Disney film with ... read more
A lot of things to say, this album has a lot of high qualities to it, when it comes to the production it's clean, textured, and never really repetitive. Abel's singing is good, songwriting is good, chorus' were catchy and the flow at times, yes, it's long, moved the album pretty well. While I am not a big fan of albums that reach over the threshold of one hour, this wasn't too bad. I do think however, that if this album was cut down to around the 15 song, even like 12 ... read more
Young Franco's It's Franky Baby leans heavily into a "vibes over substance" approach, delivering consistently clean and crisp production that embodies infectious, club-ready energy. While the album excels in its polished sound design and ability to maintain a fun, upbeat atmosphere, it falls short in crafting material with lasting impact. Despite this, the strength of its musical elements ensures an enjoyable listen, even if it lacks deeper resonance.
Jordan Adetunji's A Jaguar's Dream explores love, heartbreak, and desire through a blend of Hip-Hop, R&B, Afrobeats, and Hyperpop. Personal yet vibrant, the mixtape balances emotional vulnerability with indulgent energy. While the vibes are on point, the repetitive production elements weaken its uniqueness, and the closing remix detracts from its impact. Still, the infectious beats kept me nodding along, making it an undeniably enjoyable and captivating listening experience.
Yeah, this whole thing was a mess. The funny thing is, most songs I liked on here were all the singles. The rest were unfortunate attempts at creating filler tracks. 90% of the production sounded exactly the same, the slower songs were not it. I perfer the more upbeat, hard hitting songs like a GBP, or CRG. Can't Rush Greatness? I mean its clear that you rushed tf out of this album...
