Blur - The Ballad of Darren
70

It's very sweet, quiet and slow-paced, which is not something easy to get over and has many chances to give a boring experience and it's something many people are complaining about this record, especially when you remember that Blur used to pull off way more hard-hitting material on albums like 13 or the self-titled.

But, if you are a more patient and quiet listener, I think you might get a lot to appreciate here. There's nothing off the rails, some tracks even come close to what would be an ... read more

Better Lovers - God Made Me An Animal
90

There wasn't no way this wouldn't be amazing after 30 Under 13 dropped with this line-up

It's such a breath of fresh air from the metalcore scene, bringing all the elements that made both The Dillinger Escape Plan and Every Time I Die famous and acclaimed

Greg Puciato is sounding like if we were at the One of Us Is the Killer glory days, instrumentals sounds just as raw as they were on Radical and Will Putney is already a super-hero at this point. Like, holy shit, everything this man is on is ... read more

DJ RaMeMes (O DESTRUIDOR DO FUNK) - Sem Limites
80

I'm very late to the party but yeah, we're seeing something really special happening here.

Brazilian funk music, as every other genre, has its ramifications and subgenres. "Funk 180 BPM" (which is pretty similar to hardcore EDM) always seemed to me as the most intersting one, 'Cause it's just so mind-blowing and off the rails that you can't escape of how catchy it sounds.

DJ RaMeMes does here what I've been always waiting for this genre to bring. A whole album of these songs with no ... read more

billy woods & Kenny Segal - Maps
80

All this man needed was a tight producer. I mean, I have nothing against Blockhead but I think some of his approach was dragging me off from Billy's work as they somehow started to sound too monotone for me.

Since 2019, Billy Woods started colaborating with producer Kenny Segal and they released together the album "Hiding Places" which, for me, was a goddamn breath of fresh air on his discography. Woods style of rapping was always consistent but Kenny beats was unique enough to make ... read more

Loma Prieta - Last
90

It's been going on a certain streak of screamo band that was 5-20 years without releasing anything and making a comeback with the strongest efforts the genre concieved on the year (thank you Gospel) and Loma Prieta wasn't a exception. Their last album "Self Portrait" was released on 2015, almost 10 years later now.

I've never been a fan of these guys, not the way I wanted to. I love screamo, I think it's one of the best genres of music and I'm yet to find an album I can't find myself ... read more

Lil Uzi Vert - Pink Tape
70

That's my first Uzi record and, well, fine.

I admire from what's trying to go for. I've seen one review that said this was their Whole Lotta Red and makes sense, at some extent. It has a solid production and I don't think it drags off (as much as it could've been).

Some of the beat choices are genuinly funny and unpredictable, how can somebody know they would've put the straight Shinsuke Nakamura theme or the interpolation with I'm Blue?

Biggest highlights were certainly Werewolf and The ... read more

Young Thug - BUSINESS IS BUSINESS
70

Ain't stunning nor the best project of the year for me but the highs are really high. Metro Boomin is peak producer, so everything he touches sounds, at least, great (for me, of course).

About the performances and lyrics, I don't mind lyrics on trap projects so they always come out as whatever (especially here) and the performances are tight (though they're boring on the most underwhelming cuts).

Worth a listen and, damn, who could've guessed this shit would come?

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
80

It's two guys having a lot of fun while making their music and they know who will be listening to this, so why would they not do everything? It's just "We're gonna write the most non-sense bars we've ever written through the craziest beats we can ever do".

There wasn't pressure. There ain't a deeper meaning to anything here and it's not suppose to have. Everything is right on your face, everything speaks for itself

At the very end, you know what makes this album up for you. It can ... read more

Swans - The Beggar
80

What can we say that wasn't already been said now?

There ain't too much. It's music that you come to know what's trying for you to feel. It works for some and not for others but, for me, I can say it worked.

It has those moments when the ambience surrounds the whole song. When these moments come, I can't help but feel weirdly comfortable. It's like I'm resting.

A blurred past memory and leftovers of sounds that always seems familiar, some people might also feel the same way.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation
90

My dive of madness with KGLW has finished and I can say this is their strongest effort yet. PetroDragonic Apocalypse seems a complete realization of bold ideas that are so well-executed that will simply fuck your mind.

It takes all that went right on "Infest the Rats' Nest" and turns up to infinity. Mixed with their progressive aesthetics that always felt as their strongest moments, a compilation of 7 tracks on full "all killer, no filler" mode.

It's so impressive how they ... read more

Xiu Xiu - Ignore Grief
70

I don't have much to say about them, honestly. I enjoyed checked them out 'cause they are a very important band on the experimental music scene and understood what they've been always going for with their records.

I can't say I get all of them. My problem with Xiu Xiu is that I always wanted them to just go full dark and insane and, though the lyrics always have been this way, I never get the delivery.

Some of them sounded soft and wasn't doing for me. Funny because the total soft tracks ... read more

Jake Paul & Team 10 - Litmas
NR

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."

Tallah - The Generation of Danger
80

You won't see such a visceral, out of control, over the top, out of place, insane and crushing metal album experience in a reasonable while. Tallah does everything they do best with all cranked up to fucking 110. It'll punish and destroy you front-to-back as you make a deep dive into the terrifying mind of a scientist planning to ascend by any means necessary, not following any spectrum of moral nor any type of scientific proctetion recomendation. You'll go up and down with some of the highest ... read more

Rites of Spring - Rites of Spring
70

I thought I'd hate this but, actually, it's pretty decent. It doesn't has what I'd love from emo music, it's still pretty much rooted on hardcore punk (as this album to me just feel a hardcore punk record with emotional lyrics) but everything they're doing is being well-done so, well, I appreciate that

Matuê - Máquina do Tempo
NR

Eu tenho ice
Maconha, buceta, dinheiro, carro, desgraça
Eu tenho tudo que você quiser, novinha
Ontem eu cheirei um pó, ontem eu cheirei um pó
Eu tenho ice
Eu tô congelado, eu tô congelado, eu tô congelado
Eu tô congelado, eu tô congelado

Minha piroca pega fogo, mas meu pescoço derrete
Porque eu ando com um ice de 30 quilos no bolso
O novinha senta aqui no piruzão

Eu tenho ice
Maconha, buceta, dinheiro, carro, ... read more

To Pluto - Lunaris
10

Here it is, the other side of Nemesis. To Pluto's Lunaris ain't exactly bad for its ideas but for its execution and when I say the execution is bad; My beautiful friend, you can not be ready for what you're about to hear.

The instrumentals are basic, so are the lyrics for the concept it brings, but the crown jewel of this shit has to go to the production. This is the worst production I've heard my life, I doubt I'll see something as badly produced (mixing, mastering, everything) as this. ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - Cherry Bomb
NR

Audio mixing is the process of taking recorded tracks and blending them together. Tracks are blended using various processes such as EQ, Compression and Reverb. The goal of mixing is to bring out the best in your multi-track recording by adjusting levels, panning, and time-based audio effects (chorus, reverb, delay).

The Ocean - Holocene
70

I wasn't expecting shit out of this record but I decided give it a try 'cause it was conceptual and it would have "post-genre" elements so why not? I got some of the sickiest prog metal material I've seen in a while. This album feels like if Cult of Luna's Mariner was more fast and had harsher riffs at some extent

Mineral - EndSerenading
80

After listening to The Power of Failing, I thought Mineral would be one of those bands that you wish you could like them more but you don't get the full picture, but then I heard this album.

This album has some of the most beautiful emo material I've heard in my life, songs like Palisade and Unfinished seems like they know all the emo traits that a emo-biased person loves. You just feel amazed, what an experience

Kesha - Gag Order
70

If you told me the girl who sung Tik Tok in 2010 would come out several years later actually bringing real serious stuff to the table through some of the wildest pop forms a mainstream singer can go into back in the mid-late 2010's...

I'd believe in you, I love when this happens

"I related to a lot of things you said here (especially when you talked about hurting a friend’s feelings and questioning why you don't enjoy as much as the majority of people seem to), so this really get me. Also, I guess we should look at, even the worst reviews we think we wrote, we are all trying (but it's really hard to get this on mind, including for me). So, as I feel you wrote all of this from your heart, I guess it's the best thing about it, despite any structure or type of writing"

"Great review, I just wish 'em to get more recognition 'cause they had so much potential. Their drummer passed away and they disbanded after this record, so they never had any social media despite a page on Facebook (I guess). For me, it's quite shocking this released in 1998 due how much stuff they're saying that just got a place on debate nowadays. Despite how good or bad the album sounded, the message was important to spread (sorry if I didn't explain my point very well but basically thank you for listen)"

On lowdash's review of Mori Calliope & Reol - 虚像のCarousel
""Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE"
