Edit: (100 -> 98): Trying to beat the fucking loser allegations.
Edit: (98 -> 99): Still in the upper echelon of my favorite albums ever.
Ruckus Brought
Edit: (100 -> 99): Saw Ghostface live.
And meth's verse on Ain't Nuthin ta F' Wit is a flop. bad flow, lowkey makes the possibly the best RZA beat ever into one of the less impressive lyrical showings on the album.
The Queen of Hyperpop taking her crown. She reigns eternally. Rest in Peace.
Splendor and Misery. Heaven and Hell all wrapped into one. The *other most pain I've ever heard put to music.
Heard Chop Suey for the first time cause Jacksepticeye did a drum cover. Well what do you know, years later its a fav
Edit: (100 - > 99): It's hard loving Lauryn Hill.
100: Love Love Love. Oh it's hard loving Lauryn Hill.
Edit: (100 -> 99): Perfect but isn't a massive inspiration for me personally
100: The king of nerd-rap's magnum opus.
The Greatest Soul Album Ever Made. A massive, but earned, journey through the sound, voice, instrumentation and soul of Soul. A journey through love, life, and humanity. Life has never been put into music in quite the way it was here.
easily worst album cover and worst album, still YMO, but feels like they got back together without a lot of heat or ideas. my pockets do be full of rainbows tho
Edit: (65 -> 68): I do like the ambient qualities of some of the tracks. But again I just think the basic electronica sound is much less impressive than on previous works and they don't take this album to impressive new territory such as on Technodelic.
kind of just less fun Naughty Boy
While it's not as revolutionary as their other stuff it's still a very solid album. At this point in their career I don't think YMO needed to reinvent the wheel. The tracks on here are all fun, dance-y, and compelling. They are sound incredibly full and lush despite still having that primitive synth-pop sound. I also like a lot of the writing. The skits are a little overly long but that's the only minor complaint because they are ... read more
poppiest bop to date. pretty synthwave lofi before it was even a thing, and oversaturated the internet
This is a special album. A truly Special album.
This Album Is A Masterpiece. Weird, dark, groovy, experimental, existential, one of the first albums to be made almost entirely from samples. This album truly sounds like no other, the mix of stiff electronics and organic sampling make this truly an experimental and psychedelic journey. To this day nothing sounds quite like this album and only a Very Small percentage have even played with the formula, let alone matched or surpassed it.
And at ... 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."
