Much better than Starboy and Kiss Land and MUCH MUCH better than his last EP, though it doesn't quite reach the druggy hazy heights of Trilogy or the hit power of Beauty Behind the Madness.
A diverse array of ideas makes 3.15.20 more immediately interesting than its predecessor.
what in the goddamn fuck
BALENCI BALENCI BALENCI BALENCI BALENCI IM GUNNA GIVE THIS BORING ASS ALBUM A 50
What I imagine my old plastic bin filled with childhood toys from Fisher Price sounds like.
It's by no means a surface level trip, but if you spend enough time racking Man Alive! for meaning, things eventually become a little less fuzzy.
soccer mommy cements her brand of introspective indie rock on the excellent color theory.
Ryan Beatty's songwriting and production capabilities improve by leaps and bounds on his sophomore record, despite his sonic identity still not fully coalescing together from his various ethereal-sounding influences.
A worthy sequel that although more immediately gratifying, does not sacrifice too much of what makes the A.A.L. project special to begin with.
Frances Quinlan uses her idiosyncratic voice to continue strengthening her image as one of indie rock's most intriguing story tellers.

On jordymusic's review of Deathspell Omega - The Furnaces of Palingenesia
"Feel like once the music is out there the interpretation is left up to the listener for sure, that being said I'll probably still listen to the music in some capacity, but won't be platforming them by reviewing their music and such. Hoping the band decides to speak up, but knowing their elusive nature they'll probably just lie low."

Currently making a concerted effort to listen to the entirety of the /mu/ essentials chart so I have a more solid foundation in core genres so my music analysis is more comprehensive, and I know DsO's Paracletus is listed there as a hallmark of metal. I'll still listen to the record, but will most likely skip out on offering a review. Hope travelling has been good so far!"

On Clever Girl - No Drum and Bass in the Jazz Room
"Basically my first time getting into music around 2010 was when the Youtube recommended algorithm would show me full length albums/EPs to listen to, often uploaded by fans of the musicians. All the albums I discovered that way hold a special spot of nostalgia in my music listening journey and this was my first math rock record I ever heard!! By no means a bad label, just a personal one. :)))"
On TheBravesDH's review of Stephen Malkmus - Groove Denied
"I haven't listened to Hope Downs yet, but Pavement is one of my favourite bands of all time so I had to double-check Stephen Malkmus actually recorded and released this heaping pile of garbage because I was so dumb-struck."
