Almost 4 years on AOTY and 3,000 ratings later I have finally listened to '98.12.28', the iconic live album from Japanese Dream Pop and Neo-Psych band Fishmans, and not only is it iconic, it's also considered by many to be one of, if not, the greatest live album ever made. Prior to hearing '98.12.28', I had only heard one Fishmans record, that being their iconic 35 minute opus 'Long Season', which is a masterfully crafted and trance inducing piece with some of the most progressive and hypnotic ... read more

Austin Lunn's Panopticon returns with a new project two years after their last effort '...And Again Into the Light', which was one of my favourite albums of 2021 and one of my favourite Black Metal projects that I've heard, especially in the context of modern Black Metal.

Danny Brown is one of my favourite rappers of all time, his 2016 album 'Atrocity Exhibition' is one of my favourite albums of all time, so naturally when the release date for 'Quaranta' was announced and when some of the singles were coming out I was beyond excited, with 'Quaranta' being one of my most anticipated releases of the year.

Bro really sampled an MLG trickshot montage parody sound effect.
For me 'Integrated Tech Solutions' is Aesop Rock's best album since 'The Impossible Kid', that doesn't mean the projects he's dropped inbetween have been subpar to me, in fact I still really love 'Malibu Ken' and both 'Spirit World Field Guide' and 'Garbology' are still very solid projects, but 'Integrated Tech Solutions' feels like his most strong and memorable project since then. If you're familiar with Aesop Rock then nothing ... read more
The discourse surrounding this album over the fact that André 3000 doesn't rap on it has been interesting to say the least, and it's not only because some people were disappointed that we wouldn't hear André rap but because of how the man himself feels about continuing to rap well into his 40's, in his own words he feels that it's "inauthentic" to continue rapping in his 40's and for me it's a sentiment that I can't agree with at all, I can maybe understand where he's ... read more
