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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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
"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."
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
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
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

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
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).
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
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
