JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
97

Someone needs to stop this man it’s getting scary how good every album is and then the next one being even better.

Jesu - Jesu
85

An incredible starting point that Jesu would go on to experiment with. Very special record in his discography

AG Club - BRODIE WORLD
62

Somehow the whole is a little less than the sum of its parts in this project. It’s tough to say what’s holding this back maybe a bolder vision/clearer direction going in to bring some adhesion between tracks. A bunch of pretty tracks put together with little holding them together.

Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) - You Will Eventually Be Forgotten
80

75 -> 80
A step down from their previous work but still very enjoyable.
This has been on a playlist for awhile and whenever it comes up I’m shocked by how gripping the writing and story telling are which I didn’t give enough credit on the first couple listen as I’m not a person that usually pays a lot of attention to lyrics in songs.

Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
30

Production is some of the most generic I’ve ever heard. The switch from shady to Em gives so little to the listener, there so much more introspection and growth that could be explored but we get the most surface level exploration. Some of the shady stuff is entertaining in a “laughing at Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro saying wack shit” type of way.

Paris Texas - MID AIR
74

65 - 74
Has grown on me since I first listened. The quality can vary a lot between tracks. That being said there is a lot of creativity and ambition on display here along with great chemistry from Paris and Texas. Definitely far from the best Paris Texas album we’ll get.
Alsp we didn’t forget about that Peggy cameo in the panic music video you guys better be cooking some stuff up together.

Uboa - Impossible Light
70

Gets lost in its own sauce. Very creative and intense.

Alcest - Les Chants de l'Aurore
68

Solid work. Feels like it could have used a little extra something to stop it from getting repetitive

Don Toliver - HARDSTONE PSYCHO
60

If Playboi Carti was Travis Scott, this the type of shit Destroy Lonely would be making.

LUCKI - Alternative Trap
86

I don’t understand how this is the same Lucki as modern day. He really fell from such great heights

glass beach - plastic death
50

Not vibing with this one. I appreciate genre mashing however on this project it just isn't it. I kept feeling like right as I caught the vibe and started enjoy a section it would often quite abruptly change and I'd loose the enjoyment of the track all together.

100

Flawless. Greatest album of all time. In my opinion

Recent Review Comments
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"
