Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It in People
91

Of all the songs why is the f-slur song the one that got stuck in my head, I can’t live like this.
It’s such an exceptional blend of post-punk revival and post-rock. It’s like of the strokes made a really good post-rock album.

Converge - Hum of Hurt
78

The beginning to me didn’t sound as polished as usual for them but the middle and ending are great with an amazing title track and outro

Death Cab for Cutie - I Built You A Tower
72

It’s decent, it’s perfectly fine. It has some heavier product elements than usual but other than that there’s not a lot that makes it standout or would make me want to re-listen when their other heater albums are right there.
It is cool to get new American football and death cab albums in the same year.

Static Dress - Injury Episode
77

I really thought this would be the corniest thing I’ve heard this year but it was surprisingly good. The varied production and song writing I think is what really holds it all together. There’s a couple tracks that didn’t super work for me but overall enjoyed my listen

Panopticon - Roads to the North
80

It’s pretty good, really impressive for just one guy. For me the project is carried by the sigh of summer and the closing track

Panopticon - Det hjemsøkte hjertet
84

Super impressive for just one guy. Really cohesive while having each track have an element to it that gives it a slight but uniquely different vibe or feeling. The closing track is also very powerful

Genesis Owusu - REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE
77

The blending of genres is done very well throughout. It starts to lose me in the middle but the beginning and end are strong.

Sickboyrari - Crack Cloud$ Over Arts Kitchen
90

This project is such a strong experience that you’re not gonna get anywhere else. All its elements, either “good” or “bad”, from the groundbreaking production to the chopped mixing it all just works so well even though sometimes it really shouldn’t. There’s a lot of other projects that go for this sound but nothing else brings the feeling that this project was able to potently create

Iceage - Plowing Into the Field of Love
86

One of the quintessential post-punk albums of the modern era

Iceage - Beyondless
77

Pretty good album

Iceage - For Love of Grace & The Hereafter
58

I listened to their first couple punk albums before listening to this one and because they’re so different maybe that has something to do with it, but outside of a few tracks I’m really not messing with this album.

Iceage - You're Nothing
79

It’s a straight improvement across the board from the debut and sees the band leaning and crafting more of their post-punk sound

Iceage - New Brigade
73

I haven’t dived into a lot of hardcore punk so this albums baseline sound I’m pretty new to. There are a lot of great riffs on this thing paired with some excellent song writing and structuring

Kim Petras - Detour
71

I only know of Kim through occasional weird features that get attention and never actually sat down and listened through a whole album. This one’s pretty good, the production is solid throughout shoutout to frost children. My problem was the lyrics were either decent or annoying and it’s kinda an even split throughout the album.

Boards of Canada - Inferno
78

This album has vibemaxxed-out. Get the homies together to smoke to this shit while laying on some of those massive human sized beanbags.

feeble little horse - Girl with Fish
82

Came back to this after a while and it’s still very good. The production has a lot of interesting and unique elements to it and the lyric writing is quite good. Lydia does a great job of making catchy lyrics that toe the line between goofy and having real meaning with her delivery and when placed in the context of the song.

feeble little horse - bitknot
75

This was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I’m a huge fan of their previous albums that had a lot of varied and noisy production that they’ve leaned away from on this album and gone more for an indie rock sound. I found the tracks that leaned more towards a indie rock and away from noise rock I found a little generic and the tracks that had that varied and noisy production I really enjoyed.

Drake - ICEMAN
45

I’m not sure what happened. I definitely remember hitting play and the first two songs but then I started doing stuff and thought I paused the album but like an hour later some sound caught my attention and it said “auto playing based on ICEMAN”. Weird and strange 🤔

dälek - From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots
88

As far as I can tell this seems like one of the first industrial hip hop albums to get a decent amount of attention and I’ve been meaning to check it out for awhile. It’s super impressive project with great writing, rapping, and of course excellent production. Not my favorite from the group, which is Absence, but that really comes down to personal genre preferences and they’re both exceptional.

dälek - Absence
90

Incredible fusion of dark and noisy production with some great writing and rapping. Definitely a classic and very ahead of its time

On Julia Wolf - PRESSURE
"@big_h This is a pretty unique mix of influences that I haven’t heard a lot similar to. Not the most similar but something similar thing I can think of is Bloodmoon: I by converge & Chelsea Wolfe. Great metal production and Chelsea brings a lot of atmosphere, more dark and atmospheric but still very good. Spiritbox would be another good band to check out for similar metal aesthetics. If you want to hear more of the indie/electronic influences I’d definitely recommend brakence he’s just great."
On J. Cole - The Fall-Off
"Thanks. I try my best 🙂"
On SpectacledBears's review of Geese - Getting Killed
"Unless you’ve scheduled time in your calendar for relistening to this, it still doesn’t explain your weekly “getting killed” google calendar alerts"
On JACKBOYS - JACKBOYS 2
"@Jgatts I liked utopia but it was definitely a step down from astroworld and even his features on other artists projects have been pretty lacking recently. That’s just me though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
On SpectacledBears's review of Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
"I swear I’ve been hearing this album once a week for those 5 years. Only it’s slightly different and it’s a different artist name? Phoebe must keep changing her name I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
On SpectacledBears's review of Jasiah - JASIAH I AM
"There’s one of those phantom versions of this album with $not case 19 at the end. I consider it the de facto version"
