Man, I can tell you had fun with this one. Thanks @Nem3215 for sharing your short EP with good choices for sampling, solid beats that are self produced. Which I'll give ya props for automatically being better than 80% of rappers as you have said on your Bandcamp page. Your rapping is tolerable to solid overall. And I enjoyed myself well enough. The one track that truly caught my attention was the last one from the excellent sample to your passionate rapping that as you mentioned have ... read more

Happy New Year! 🎊 🎉🎈🙌

And @Marshall4Real is back at it with a little single! This isn't the one that was on Instagram that you pointed my way. I didn't see it on Spotify, BUT I did see this. I am always happy to listen to your new music. So let's see what this "glow again" is all about...

I am used to your droning ambience, so I definitely wasn't expecting a sick beat to kick things off. Only to then slide in the usual noise a number of seconds into ... read more

Thanks @frogofprog for recommending me this! (5/5)

How about some slick sexy fusion to finish off this year on? Or to start 2025 depending on your time zone. But yeah I don't want say much here other than I hope you check out the recs and enjoy yourself with them. Like good music should, it speaks for itself.

And a final shout out to the frog to finish this year as well as the usual friendly faces I often see hearting my humble reviews. It's always a joy to see your names! I hope ... read more

Thanks @frogofprog for recommending me this! (4/5)

I'm sorry, but I'm not much of a fan of this kind of folk rock. It just doesn't do much for me. Maybe on a listen further down the line this will connect with me better. For now, I found it to be a middling listen.

Thanks @frogofprog for recommending me this! (3/5)

Man, early Queen tho. What a fucking band. Just a glammy theatric treat for the ears that's unapologetically over the top with fantastic instrumentation and amazing vocals! I like how the tracks flow into each other emphasizing that this should be listened as a whole experience for the album connoisseurs (aka NERDS!) Its just one enjoyable track after the next that keeps the vibe flowing. Every track has their individual spice and as a ... read more

Thanks @frogofprog for recommending me this! (2/5)

It's been so long since I listened to Gentle Giant. It was likely before I even decided to make this account so I hardly know or remember what to expect from these chaps. It says progressive Rock and that sounds about right so let's get our pretentious pant on and see what they got to offer.

Well they certainly love throwing a lot at your ears buts having it all sound complimentary like a good prog record should. The deal is that ... read more

Thanks @frogofprog for recommending me this! ( 1/5)

I swear the flavor of psychedelic nonsense in the first couple of short tracks was the weirdcore of the 1970s. It's charming as well as off putting. It's unhinged, yet well done. Then the experience transitions into a classic meditative jazz funk rock space journey through the cosmos that's just a pleasure for the imagination even over fifty years after this released. Just quality listening that really takes my attention once ... read more

YOOOOO!!!!! I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS TO RULE SO FUCKING HARD!!!

I feel like I would be jamming to this kind of shit in the club ten years from now when this kind of shit hits the mainstream! @bon you and your friends did a phenomenal job with this! it's created from having fun and holy shit is it just plain fun to listen to! This shit is Internet core in the best way possible from the distorted vocals to the production that had no reason to be as good as it is. I thoroughly enjoyed myself ... read more

Thanks @Mothware for sharing to me your three track single. You told me to not leave any thoughts unsaid, so I'm not going to filter anything out from ya. I have really enjoyed your full release "Please Be Gentle" earlier this year (edit: Actually it's from November 2023... it's been over a year already?!) though the remake a bit later failed to have the same effects for me, at least on the initial listen.

Here, as you claim you are mixing the elements from the ... read more

Thanks @PlugnstyleKalo for sharing your stand-alone side project single to me!

I like what you are going for here though I agree with the others including yourself that it does need some polishing. It has a lot of interesting ideas that don't quite mesh or flow well together. Your cadence and flows are interesting but could be utilized in a smoother way to bring out the desired effects from the emotions you are evoking. Beyond the slight jankiness of it all mostly due to your admitted ... read more

Thanks @montythegreat for sharing your new single to me!

I liked that you kept things stripped back to focus on your singing. I tried to follow along to what you were singing with the lack of lyrics but kinda struggled. That's mainly on me though maybe a bit more clarity on your articulation never hurts. Your voice is pretty distinct and I like your cadence and delivery. You did well here. The supporting soft guitar, drums and harmonica adds a melancholic folk charm to the atmosphere then ... read more

Don't crucify me. I just simply didn't connect with it. Probably need to make a list some day of super acclaimed releases that did little to nothing to my irrelevant ass. You can throw the tomatoes and boo over there if I ever get to it.

Gorgeous Vocals, Gorgeous lyrics, Gorgeous Instrumentals.
It's just Gorgeous plain and simple!

Recs:
- Mojo Pin
- Last Goodbye
- Lilac Wine
- So Real
- Hallelujah
- Lover, You Should've Come Over ( These two iconic songs back to back??? I almost died!)
- Corpus Christi Carol
- Eternal Life
- Dream Brother
- Forget Her

Ridiculously good!

Other than that opener that didn't do it for me, it's a wild rush front to back that doesn't relent for even a second! Utterly addicted to the perfect buildups all over this unforgettable album! Holy shit that was amazing!

It doesn't all hit but damn does it hit.

Recs:
- Mysterons
- Strangers
- It Could Be Sweet
- Wandering Star
- It's a Fire
- Roads
- Glory Box

Raw, brash, brutal honest storytelling with a distinct easy to follow voice with some dope ass beats, sampling, and general production backing the mad lad up. It's the prime hip hop era and this young talent with their smooth flow has shown the world up. His smooth confidence and style wins over millions. His attitude contagious. Loaded with a Glock it's B.I.G. A legend of the genre is born and ready to die.

The release is infamous and lives up to it's buildup and hype. Could ... read more

A pretty dang good Brazilian funk rock Alternative metal what have you. Its good music and that's all that matters. Most impressed by the instrumental and production with solid vocals.

Recs:
- Samba Makossa
- Da Lama so Caos
- Salustiano Song
- Antene-Se
- Risoflora
- Lixo do Mangue
- Coco Dub (Afrociberdelia)

Once they had me hooked I knew that I was dinner. Fantastic album when it's great. (And it's a great time overall) Too bad that a good chunk of the release didn't do much for me.

Recs:
- Intro
- Black Sunday
- Drop Bombs
- Bring it On
- Why
- Let's Organize (feat. O.C & Q-Tip)
- Stray Bullet
- Maintain

A decent early example of horror core that does seem on the nose but has a few tracks that still does the job well.

Recs:
- Blood Brothers
- 1-800 Suicide
- Mommy, What's a Gravedigga?
- Here Comes the Gravediggaz
- Deathtrap
- Rest in Peace (outro)

A solid release from Soundgarden with a mix of great tunes to at least for me filler to slightly questionable inclusions. (Looking at you "Half"!) If it wasn't as bloated it could easily be a great grunge project for me.

Recs:
- Superunknown
- Head Down
- Black Hole Sun
- Spoonman
- The Day I Tried to Live
- 4th of July
- Like Suicide
