OFFLINE! is one of the most confusing albums ever to me. It has some absolutely incredible tracks, and I do come back to some stuff on here, but nothing on here is sticking in my mind like almost every other JPEG release does, which makes me wonder why it has his best reception of any release he's put out. It's also definitely one of his least experimental works, and even though it does tap into that sometimes, it never is long enough to keep it in my mind. A couple tracks stand out ... read more

Entering my top two albums from him, AMHAC is possibly Peggy's most consistently incredible release ever. Every single track here fits right in, and despite the fact the "quality" of the tracks vary, they all contribute an equal amount to this release. The fact that this was his thank you letter to Veteran being so well received is really apparent, based on just how real and raw it is. Everything sounds like it's coming from a place of pure sincerity and love, while also ... read more

Another rereview for one of the best albums from one of my favorite artists. Veteran is such an enigma of an album, and there is really nothing else that sounds even similar to it. Although the opener is probably one of Peggy's most chill songs, it immediately escalates into some tracks that frankly, should not work at all, but do. The seemingly random samples and production choices that nobody would make but him always hit for me, which is a huge part of why I love this album and ... read more

When this first came out, I was really just getting into him and thought this was one of the best Deluxe editions ever. Almost a year later, and I still believe that. Every single song added here is incredible, and the placements of them don't feel off at all. It all flows just as good as the original album, and ends up being a great alternative to the original. I do think it has too many tracks to be good for a first listen of ILDMLFY, but if you listened to that and enjoyed it, this is ... read more

This is one of my most relistened to JPEGMAFIA albums, and for very good reason. Once he released the new mixes I really wasn't enjoying it and going back to it as much, but after getting the original version downloaded, this is likely going to rocket back up to the top. All these songs are just incredible, and the wacky mixing is a huge part of it's identity. Every single track here is just a banger, along with being some of Peggy's most energetic and off-the-walls sample work. ... read more

I first listened to this around Chromakopia, and finally got back to it to write a review, as I wasn't writing about what I was listening to yet. This is a really unique sounding mixtape, and it truly feels like a great representation of Doechii's ability as an artist. There are just consistently great tracks, and my highlights are not too much better than the rest of the tracks. Although it is extremely consistient, I feel like if there were a few standout incredible tracks, it ... read more

My friend told me to check this out, and I was relatively intrigued because Safe And Sound is one of the songs I remember hearing a bunch as a kid, but I'll say that I did not enjoy this as much as I was hoping. It's all produced well, and there's some nice ear candy, but it really does sound like "Welcome to Walmart" music, which makes sense because of how this guys entered the music industry. Stuff here is really clean and smooth, but I don't really feel like ... read more

IRLS ALBUM SWAP #1
This album was a fun time! It reminds me somewhat of Life Itself by Glass Animals, but it has a few things holding it back from being as good as it. For one, a lot of the tracks blend together a lot, and I couldn't point out a real difference between something like New Invention and Lights Go Down. There are a few moments on this that are quite memorable because they stand out which is nice, such as the robotic voice part in From the Gallows and that sax solo on the ... read more

This album is unique like no other, with it's own upsides and downsides to that. This is clearly the base of the real Djent sound, and this is their first project to keep that sound throughout every single track. It's also done extremely well here, as the riffs and general instrumentation is top-notch. The vocals and lyrics are also great and quite provocative, with touching on a lot of personal and societal issues. I do have a couple problems though, and one of those is the mixing; ... read more

This was my introduction to Meshuggah, and WOW this is incredible. For being called "Nothing", this album was certainly something special. This is the real originator of the modern "Djent-y" sound, and this is a perfect example of that done right. There are constantly some insane rhythms going on that are impossible for most to think up, along with the most downtuned 7-strings of all time. I know that some people prefer the remaster because of the fact that the 7-strings ... read more

The first time I heard this I thought it was fairly underwhelming. Listening again now, however, I find this to be really incredible. I've been meaning to check out Meshuggah for a long while but had never liked any of their work before, but after coming back recently and listening to a few tracks, I quite enjoyed what I was hearing, so I figured it was time to revisit this. Although I do think the intro and some connecting segments drag on a bit, there's nothing else here that I ... read more

I wasn't kidding when I said I needed more time to sit with this, because coming back now this is a masterpiece. This has some of my favorite metal riffs of all time on it, from Ocean Planet to From The Sky, to even THMITU, Flying Whales, and To Sirius, really you could say any song here is your favorite and I would understand. Everything here just locks into place so well, and the intensity of it is so well managed throughout. There's enough variation to never make it boring even if ... read more

This rules. As a standalone thing it's just well made but not necessarily the MOST interesting thing ever, but the fact that this is a full remake of Doom 1+2's soundtrack that was made official is really sick. The whole idea of this is a pretty huge undertaking, but it paid off entirely with how good these modernized tracks sound. Really great tracks for bgm, and also just hype to go and listen to every now and then. Maybe don't check the full thing out and focus on it, but ... read more

This is one of the highest rated Groove Metal albums of all time. so I figured I had to check it out eventually. This was honestly filled with some great tracks, the riffage and general playing throughout were extremely solid and I really had a great time with most of this. There are quite a few things I dislike, however. I feel like the tone of everything here is off just a bit in one way or another, such as the drums needing a bit more oomph for the kick and a better snare, or the guitar ... read more

This was quite an interesting listen! I honestly really like a lot of what this group is doing; mixing these old recordings and death/black/doom metal to retell WWI and other such events is awesome, and something that really sets them apart from anyone else in these genres. Although I didn't really like the voice all too much at first, it quickly grew on me and I liked it quite a bit by the end of the first track. The guitarwork here is really good, although the tone could be a little bit ... read more

This is another really impressive tech-thrash album by the most underrated in the game. No More Color feels like a push forward in Coroner's sound and skill, with some more riffs and solos that are a step crazier than what they were doing on PFD. Everything here still holds up great, and manages to be weird and unpredictable even today. The boundaries that they were pushing forward in terms of technicality and speed combined is really cool, and you can easily tell just how skilled all the ... read more

This is such a nostalgia trip, as one of the first songs I got obsessed with was Lagtrain when it first blew up, so I figured it would be good to go back to and hear the whole album that it comes from.

This is really a unique album in the vocaloid space in my brain, as it really focuses on using it as another instrument rather than making it the center of attention. With that, the production throughout this album is surprisingly experimental for what it is, and that was pretty exciting as it ... read more

Rest in peace Aubrey Hodge, my closest friend. August 28th, 2008 - October 25th, 2025. This was your favorite album of all time, and I find that finally properly reviewing it is the best way for me to honor you on this site where you had just started growing and sharing your thoughts.

I cannot rate this album accurately to myself, all I can say about it is that I think that it is a "Must Listen" project. With how important this was to Aubrey and how much the lyrics and sounds tie ... read more

After absolutely loving their newest album, I thought that I should check out some of Coroner's other work, and I wasn't disappointed. This is one of the purest forms of classic tech-thrash I've ever heard. You can definitely hear it's age, but that isn't really an issue here, as the riffing and actual tracks are still on point. The non stop speed and quality is extremely impressive, especially for the time, and I could immediately tell why this group was so influential ... read more

Holy FUCK dude, this was genuinely incredible. If I'm gonna be honest, I put this off for a few days because I was scared it wouldn't live up to my expectations, but it blew them out of the water. This is a perfect mix of all my favorite subgenres of metal, and it's a strong contender for my favorite metal album period. Let's get into why.

To start off, this is a reunion album of sorts, being released 30 years after their previous work, GRIN, and it is even more impressive ... read more
