Pinned Review
This is a random release early on in the atmospheric black metal scene and I believe it to be one of the first atmospheric black metal releases. The music itself here isn’t much different from other atmospheric black metal releases at the time. The recording is extremely lo-fi and the instrumentals are solid, but nothing groundbreaking for the genre. This project also has these satanic/ growled and reverberated vocals that remind me of Bathory’s vocalist, except if he were one floor ... read more

Rare comeback
Funny story, I was rewatching Fury v Wilder 3 and I saw Fury was singing in the post fight interview. Found the track which was a hit, albeit before my time, titled Walking in Memphis. Heard some references to blues music in the track itself and it sparked a spontaneous interest in the genre. It made me realize that I hadn’t really checked out the genre and I found a highly rated electric blues record that was enticing and this is it. With the lore out of the way, I can say ... read more
The King’s debut record
It’s about what you’d expect, but it feels like so much more. The tracks are menial, yet so lively and colorful. He lays down some quirky vocals over a quick and upbeat backdrop, and he shows off his beautiful vocals in ballads about romance. His knack for energetic and charismatic performances pushed his music further beyond any other solo artist in history. It’s one thing to be one of the godfathers of rock and roll, but it’s completely ... read more
Literal Guantanamo Bay music
Kind of. An idiosyncratic debut from RHCP regardless. I can respect the potential in the instrumentals in spite of their amateurishness, but the vocals and writing could be punished by law. Kiedis goes for an off-kilter delivery that feels like something off of a drugged up Beastie Boys leftover every track. And the mundane and mindless lyrics don’t help the band’s cause either. The production is also flat as well. Mediocre songs have even less impact ... read more
Back in the saddle
Surprising it’s already been so long since this came out. I remember anticipating this releasing and skimmed through a track or two on Christmas morning and forgot about it. Anyways, now that I’ve listened to it more than a few times, I can say that it is contagious. Credit to the production, credit to Carti’s vocals, this record experimented and flourished. There’s not much to it, Carti does some vocal experimentation and works with harder beats than ... read more
Back in the saddle, maybe
As a preface, I’ve never listened to any other of Sturgill’s material. I’ve heard that his earlier work and pretty much anything other than this project is more true to country roots, but I digress. So it’s apparent that this record is more than a slight shift. It’s more of a transformation of sorts. An utter transition from a genuine country formula to uhh.. blues rock and electronic music? Though somewhat oxymoronic with a decent chance ... read more
