This guy popped a big jug mid-song and it fucking worked. Genuinely hyped for his next album

Why did nobody tell me SHE MADE PHENOMENAL MUSIC

Inoffensive, good rage music, 12XU is great tho

Gets a bit redundant after a while, considering it's an hour, but honestly still a great time from my GOATs.

156: Sayso Says by Che

Sayso blesses us with a great project

Pros:
Production - The beats are all great, though some (Get Naked and NUNCA HACER COCAINA) are better than others (Been There, Done That, Hex on my Chest, It's Going Down)
Rapping - Surprisingly deep, and the flow is tight
Story - This album has an actual story?! It's kinda cool!

Cons:
Flow - The tracklist flows a bit wonkily. Feels more like 2 EPs than one cohesive project (aside from story

Overall: Not his best, but ... read more

155: Hex by Bark Psychosis

The origin of the Post-Rock name doesn't disappoint

Pros:
Sound - It's such a soothing yet haunting record.
Impressive Debut - For a first LP, this is insanely impressive! They already sound like experienced musicians that know how to function as a singular unit.
Influence - Not really a definitive pro, but I'd be an idiot not to mention how influential this thing is. It quite literally coined the post-rock name for its genre, even though Talk Talk ... read more

154: Monarch of Monsters by Vylet Pony

What the fuck goes on in MLP?

Pros:
Gut-wrending Songwriting - Wallflower Equation and Sludge alone justify my point here. It feels like a record I shouldn't be hearing due to how personal it is.
Instrumentals - Varied, but consistently phenomenal. Even the worst track was interesting Instrumentally.
Vocals - Range is an understatement. Their voice is water with how fluid it is. Soft and gentle, on the verge of tears, screaming with rage and pain, ... read more

152: 867 by This is the Glasshouse

An excellent finale that warrants the loudest applause

Pros:
Instrumentals - The lush instrumentation works wonders here, and when it gets loud and distorted, it still feels right.
Lyricism - You can really feel this guy's emotion seeping through the writing. Especially on album highlights "January" and "Robinson".
Vocals - From soft and comforting in one song to absolutely manic the next, this guy has RANGE.

Con:
Weak Points - ... read more

151: Heaventunes by Slayr

A predecessor to Half-Blood... with half the substance (Quarter-blood?)

Pros:
Production - The slayr album has great production throughout. In other news, I found a fork in my kitchen and grass was green!
Vocals - Slayr just flows effortlessly on every track. It's fun hearing him riff on tracks like "4PMFreestyle" and "Critique".

Cons:
Flow - Once again, same problem as Half-Blood, except worse due to the length. Harder to rein in 16 tracks ... read more

80: The Perfect Child by Spiral Staircase

I felt way too much

Pros:
Songwriting - Simple yet emotionally potent.
Production - The lo-fi sound actually makes it hit harder. Especially on songs like "Predators" and "Uninhabitable Body".
Instrumentals - They hit like freight trains on steroids.
Vocals - She can scream LOUD. Makes it hit extremely hard.
Flow - For a two hour project, this kept me hooked the entire way through.

Con:
Hard Listen - The sheer amount of emotions ... read more

PRE-WHEEL: Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

Utter insanity in jazz form.

Pros:
Instrumental - These get wild and absolutely stunning. It's like Miles wanted to scare you, but also wanted to inspire awe and intrigue.
Instrumentalists - Everyone who worked on this record deserves praise for their playing. Especially John McLaughlin for his guitar contributions, and Miles for his powerful trumpet playing. Absolutely wild bunch of folks.
Tracks - They sprawl like creatures in the night, yet have ... read more

147: Superman, Reach the Sun! by Highsenberg

Medium expectations got blown out of the water!

Pros:
Production - Sounds lush and beautiful. It sounds professional and soft.
Flow - The instrumental parts flow into each other smoothly, and it makes for a seamless experience

Con:
Length - Wanted a bit more. Maybe an extra loosie?

Overall: Absolutely stunning. I think I found a gem.

148: Bridge by Red House Painters

Easily outclassed by its predecessor, but that doesn't make it bad

Pros:
Consistency - Everything here is consistent and neat. A bit boring without variety, but it works.
Songwriting - Every track has excellent lyrics. "Evil" and "Blindfold" were the highlights in regards to words.
Easy to Listen to - It felt like the soft embrace of a lover during a winter storm. Soft and cozy despite the cold surrounding it.

Cons:
Too Long - The ... read more

149: Red by King Crimson

This album made me feel things that I can't even begin to describe.

Pros:
The Instrumentals - A bunch of show offs show off for 40 minutes, and it's euphoric. Especially for the 70s, this sounds so modern and beyond it's time.
The Tracklist - Everything flows well, and it's sequenced just right. It kept my attention and nothing explicitly killed the pace.
Starless - Just the song itself. Genuinely one of the best closers on any record. I was left ... read more
