quantum jazz
Edit: (80 -> 75): While I find the highlights to be quite entrancing I'll admit it can be a little overly quite and not as interesting as the best moments.
They Hate On My Cause My Love Supreme
Edit: (99 -> 92): Ok I like it but not that much.
so much potential and creativity, some lacking execution. The first 3 sounds are honestly fantastic but the rest of the record leaves a lot more to be desired.
![藤井風 [Fujii Kaze] - HELP EVER HURT NEVER](https://cdn2.albumoftheyear.org/100x0/album/234780-help-ever-hurt-never.jpg)
mild j-pop r&b blend, some nice vocals, nothing super impressive or creative
This is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of cool jazz. Or it's the best "chill jazz" album ever made. Not only was it revolutionary it's just a banger from front to back. Every song is a smooth cascade of creativity and skill. Normally this style of relaxed jazz is not my thing. I tend to prefer more explosive instrumental displays. But this album just does it different. The melodies on this thing are some of the most classic melodies in all of music. They ring throughout my ... read more

On Brogotmehyped's review of Iosonouncane - IRA
"I totally understand what you mean when you talk about patience. I had a very similar experience attempting to listen to Swans To Be Kind and only later being able to finish it and love it. Having that experience before listening to IRA is probably what made this such an easy listen for me personally. It is truly a profound experience to have in terms of learning and growing in your ability to consume art. I will fight you a little bit because this album has also had a life changing effect on me. This album may be the single most inspiring piece of art I have ever experienced. I have thought about this album every single day since finishing it because every day I feel a fundamental Need to make music like this. It truly is a special album."
On Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
"@Mychal I've listened to his back catalogue Extensively, trust. This is the same lines about pronouns and Caitlyn Jenner for like 10 songs. Don't worry girl, I get it. The idea of slim shady doesn't just go over my head. Like I said Guilty Conscious 2 was decent cause it was the actual "Death" part of that concept. The rest is just an attempt to adapt slim shady to the modern day and failing miserably. He sounds like an "anti-sjw" edgelord in a Rainbow 6 lobby. It's just corny and cringe"
On Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
"@Dallamalla For me touching a good amount of other genres doesn't always mean that it's diverse. Yes it hits on pop, altpop, electronic, indie, synthpop, even a bit of rock, etc. But to me a lot of the diversity in that kinda gets washed away under the soft alt pop style. It all has a cool soft blue filter over it. It takes a lot of different inspirations but makes them more one note. And that may not be a bad thing cause with some albums it can make them cohesive, which it does do here, but I also think it takes away the flavor of those influences. To again reference the synths on Chihiro, they stand out on the album, but there's just not that much more to them outside the soft pop sound, ie not much diversity."
