In one word, AB (won't write 'that' title each time) is ethereal. It is set in a liminal space at all times and it evokes constantly - something new. Here is the an hour of music that feels like discovering a new state of being and the wonder that comes with it, like a very soft but very soothing kind of euphoria. To call it heavenly would be appropriate enough, but to fulfill that comparison even more, it feels more like a journey than a place - it doesn't feel real in a very weird sense, ... read more
Both the best and the POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR's element is the willingness to drag as much variety in it's genre as it dares. The gears often switch and it's fun to see them try interesting intro's, outro's and A LOT of bridges to tie the whole album together and it does stick together with a confident steadiness. But... it rarely sticks the landing for me - it switches gears a lot, but it's bait and switch, because a lot of the harder parts sound very much alike to me, so I didn't have me ... read more
This collection of Grateful dead snippets from their '72 tour run throughout Europe is one of the most liberated rock records I ever did hear, no tightness is in sight - and that can only be called a refreshment in a medium where greatness so often comes with the price of obvious hardship. Instead here, what we get is a strung together collection of jam band pieces sometimes derailing on a slightly improvisational path while still remaining very professional at all times. It is especially a ... read more
The core asset of Electric Wizard's Dopethrone lies in the constant fullness of it's sound. With a well oiled engine, this behemoth creeps on with an unstoppable force and a dragging heaviness - which both compliments and hurts the album at a certain point. It is pitch black drenched in a real sense of self contaminated style, which is for me a true achievement in a genre that sometimes sounds as blurry as metal. What is essential to the style is that it really is a slow burner compared to so ... read more
Brick seems like an album that is content with exploiting the contemporary genres and tropes in a way that is hackneyed and cheap like a vagrant vendor, but hey, it's a helluva compilation when you look at it from the other way - you might even call it a good high. It plays out like that 70s cheerful music that has the exact right friendship between freshly baked funk and oldly charming soul - where the rhythms are a tad repetitive and the padding is made up of sexy saxophones and that good ... read more

Not a music theorist who can decipher 'Giant Steps', not an avid player with masterful hands, not an insightful philosophical critic, nor a music history fanatic. Just a chap dropping his two cents about how he feels about certain albums. Oh, drop requests in the comments if you'd like.
P.S. No album ever can get a 100, at least not yet.
