oh great, another Brat-coded album. Brat summer ended a long time ago.

Funny thing: for years I thought the definitive “hip hop meets post-punk” album would eventually come out of Mexico, considering the country’s endless obsession with post-punk revival. Sadly, rap in Spanish almost never sounds rhythmically sharp enough to fully pull that fusion off. Then Genesis Owusu came out of nowhere and basically solved the equation.

Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge is one of the few genre-collision albums that actually feels fused instead of ... read more

Kraftwerk’s debut feels less like a proper “first album” and more like a proto-mixtape documenting a band searching for the language that would eventually reshape electronic music. You can already trace the DNA of everything that came later, even if the record itself still sounds unstable, messy, and constantly in motion.

What makes it so fascinating is how wide the musical palette already is. Space rock, krautrock, noise, drone, free-form psychedelia—sometimes all ... read more

For fuck’s sake, JPEGMAFIA is 36 years old. At some point you have to move past the kind of experimentation a 15-year-old discovers and immediately mistakes for genius.

Random explosions of distortion. Blown-out compression. Abrasive textures smashing into the mix out of nowhere just to scream “LOOK HOW WEIRD THIS IS.” After a while, it stops sounding experimental and starts sounding like someone trapped inside their own gimmick.

That’s the core problem with this ... read more

The Life of Pablo feels like Kanye finally mastering every major language he had developed up to that point. The chipmunk soul of The College Dropout, the orchestral elegance of Late Registration, the stadium-scale ambition of Graduation, the emotional minimalism of 808s & Heartbreak, the maximalist luxury of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and the raw aggression of Yeezus all collide here. And somehow, instead of collapsing under its own weight, the album turns that instability into ... read more

Ray of Light might genuinely be Madonna’s greatest album—and definitely her bravest. Not in a “controversial pop star” way, but artistically. Sonically. Spiritually. This is Madonna completely dissolving the borders between mainstream pop, electronic experimentation, spirituality, club music, psychedelia, and introspective songwriting.

And honestly? The first time listening to it can feel overwhelming as hell.

There is so much happening. So many layers, textures, ... read more

It's actually good. She's teasing something else. I liked the mix between the distorted and twisted guitars with her glitch pop core. Maybe, just maybe, she will do something LCD Soundsistem-esque. It's not bad, you people just want the same thing over and over.

My stubborn rock/alt snob side avoided ABBA for years because deep down I already knew what was going to happen: I was going to get instantly hooked. And yeah, that’s exactly what happened.
Once you actually sit down and listen to them front to back, all the “guilty pleasure” discourse completely falls apart. This is not cheesy disposable pop. This is absurdly well-crafted music made by people who understood melody, arrangement, hooks, dynamics, and studio engineering at a ... read more

At the moment seemed new, raw, risky but now it's the same shit over and over. i´m tired of experimental hip hop. everything is the same.

Thriller is almost automatically placed in the conversation of the greatest albums of all time. And to be fair, it’s obvious why. Pretending otherwise would just be contrarian. The influence, the cultural reach, the technical quality, the scale of its impact—few records in history can compete with it. Michael Jackson didn’t just become a superstar with this album; he became something closer to a global symbol. A myth.

But if I’m being genuinely serious about the album ... read more

One of the greatest Debuts of all time.

Yeezus influenced.

I mean, the guy has a very rich lexicon. But his flow tends to be the same. His lyrics are very rich the lack of soul is palpable.

RIP Johnny Cash. You would've loved Yeezus.

i once saw a video of a Tío dressed as a Gothic mexican cowboy dancing to Boy Harsher and it totally sounds as that aesthethic.

The fact that the only memorable thing about this album is when Beck won the grammy for album of the year and Kanye fooled everyone because Beck was against Beyoncé says everything you need to know.

Recuerdo el Hype por el álbum cuando salió. Buenos temas, buena intención, marcando el camino experimental que pretendía el reggeaton mainstream (camino que recorrió de mejor manera Bad Bunny). El medley entre Vibras y Mi Gente es de lo mejor que se ha hecho en el reggeaton como género. Muchos Highlights, sin embargo no dea de ser un álbum hecho para vender singles y generar streams. Igual se escucha que le faltaron un par de pulidas a la ... read more

If this the Peak of disco usic then the genre borned doomed.

Obviously it is not. ABBA is the peak of disco and pop music in general.

Mermaid Sashimi es el momento en el que Juan Son se da rienda suelta por completo. Aquí finalmente se sacude cualquier limitación previa y deja atrás esa idea reduccionista de hacer solo “guitarrazos”, apostando por un lenguaje mucho más amplio, arriesgado y personal.
Este disco es, literalmente, lo que sugiere su nombre: una mezcla extraña, sofisticada y hasta absurda en concepto, pero que en ejecución resulta sorprendentemente coherente. ... read more

Everything that dares you to get out of your comfort zone, it's intrinsic good for art. You either love it or hate it but you gotta admit it's good.
