JPEGMAFIA - All My Heroes Are Cornballs
95

It's obnoxious, grossly glittery, isolating, streamlined as all hell, unstable and full of cynism. Just like the internet.

This is amazing.

Lil Nas X - 7
50

Half bangers, half "what the fuck is this again?"

64

Dying Fetus' trademark sound and technical groove with production so clean it loses most of its potential.

Nails - Abandon All Life
90

Every single Nails album is close to the most satisfactory earache of your life, and this record is what sold it for me to god-tier metallic violence.

The Beach Boys - Wild Honey
65

Marvelous and emotional short songs that could've been amazing in their straightforward yet charming construction completely demolished by muddy and unstable production values. The remixed version in "1967 - Sunshine Tomorrow" repairs those errors and make it quite the stellar record from the Beach Boys.

David Bowie - David Bowie [Space Oddity]
80

Space Oddity as a song is one of the most recognized works from Bowie, but not a lot of people has listened to the actual album. Add the fact Bowie fans kind of disregard this record's strenghs in favor of actually better works and you got a massively underrated spin, even for hardcore fans.

There's no doubt this is a LONG step forward from the lackluster debut, which makes the title song much more poetic, talking about space landing. He doesn't get as good in the next songs though. He ... read more

Ratos de Porão - Brasil
84

Classic endeavour of Crossover Thrash, so direct and straightforward as if a crazy Brazilian taxi driver would smack your forehead and pulverize you.

Carnivore - Retaliation
81

A demented and self deprecating version of Slayer, faster, dumber and hateful. Sometimes it even tries to be melodic and intricate in between this senseless crossover. As a critic said, "this is music for teenagers who hate everything on the face of the Earth... and parts of Mars."

60

This quirky little mix between Black Metal inspired screeches, playful vocals and bombastic weird 8-bit mix and match gallore will rock your socks off, but not as much as I'd want it to.

Hello Kitty Suicide Club - ^_^
14

Nintendocore was a mistake and you can't change my mind.

Danny Brown - Dirty Laundry
85

Playful delivery, gittery production and a complete spin from his last record is the prize Danny Brown gives without waiting that much to begin with. I hope the album is as good as this is.

61

Even if their overall Deathgrind execution and songwriting has matured to a bigger scheme, Lord Gore lost a lot of the elements that made their take on Extreme Metal as groovy and catchy.

85

Ok, ok... I don't know what the fuck happened here? I don't know if I'm actually digging Slam much more than ever or I'm actually seeing this thing and feeling and thinking DAMN this is great.

I'm not a Slam lover. Hell I just think Devourment's first album is nothing more than a hilarious little record with a lot of luck. I do dig some Slam, I had rated albums from the genre high, but a lot of them have so much more going on than just your typical snare-pocalypse stomp.

This is... different ... read more

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Infest the Rats' Nest
58

Infest the Rats' Nest is an album of great ideas, combining two everlasting genres that will pump anyone's headbanger blood pressure to the max, but applied with lousy execution.

Let's not beat around the bush that much: there is good to be recognized. The first and most obvious take is how versatile Gizzard is, or at least adventurous, in both song deliverance and persona; vocals could have been some Melvins levels of metal. The lyrics and the message behind them are positively nihilistic and ... read more

Inculter - Fatal Visions
60

Even if their approach of Norwegian Thrash is fast-paced and quite funky, the production lacks a lot of edge and the songs contained are really not that memorable or urgent to relisten to. Serviceable thrash.

Disentomb - The Decaying Light
60

Average brutal tech with sprinkles of melodic sections. And that's just what it is. Fun, technical but mildly memorable.

Knocked Loose - A Different Shade of Blue
68

A trench of stomping ground Metalcore, relentless and without a single moment of resting. I could even point some Slam influences over there! This thing goes on and on with its moshy attitude.

I must say I have some gripes with it though. In some passages, the breakdowns are so hard and explosive they splash in energy. At the sime, the overbundance of them makes a lot of them hard to grasp too. It's so breakdown-heavy you wonder when in the flying monkeys toss you should actually mosh. That ... read more

12 Stones - 12 Stones
39

Not a single bone of originality and signs of improvement in this alt rock band. Hey, at least they have more artist integrity than some of their most well-known counterparts!

Tony Molina - Songs From San Mateo County
70

Good effort from Tony Molina here, applying the same principle from their cult breakout album, Dissed & Dismissed. The biggest problem about this, though, is the influences they gathered and executed.

While in D&D has a remarkable affiance in Power Pop, mostly Weezer, and its compositions are short yet envelope melodies and emotions in a raw and string puller matter, here they want a more Oasis-oriented sound, more acoustic and chamber driven than before, even if conserving their ... read more

DragonForce - Inhuman Rampage
40

Well, if it isn't the band that brought us that notes overburden classic, Through the Fire and Flames. Remember that?

If you heard that, you heard the entire album.

Congratulations!
