by far their most raw and aggressive album. Of every release they've had, this is the most 'nu metal' that deftones has ever gotten which is both to this albums benefit since it makes it super unique in the context of their discography. only issue is it doesnt make deftones unique as a BAND and I think they all knew that. it just makes the turnaround they made on around the fur so much more impressive.
this is one of the few debut albums that I dont reccomend to people trying to ... read more
even better than I remember. while I dont think its them at their best, its much heavier than I really remember. I always thought of this in the same vein as KNY and SNW but I went back to this after loving private music and this album is much better than I remember it being
these are aight but definitely feel more pop than the dark alt r&b we'd eventually hear on HOB. Just super amateurish but I feel like this was a necessary release for HOB to become what it was
well would you look at that
Deftones releasing an album of the year contender 30 years into their career was certainly not on my 2025 music bingo card but im definitely not unhappy about it. for some background, white pony is in my top 5 albums of all time. i love the soundscape that record has and its got some of my favourite metal tracks of all time with knife prty, digital bath, pink maggit, Feiticeira, rx queen and passenger. i could go on but then id be naming the whole tracklist. this ... read more
Just a drop is so good until jay electronica lowkey ruins it.
honestly this is one of those albums with a lot of heavenly shit on here like the opening track, no more old men and the highs and the lows. speaking of lows, this album has them. drapetomania actually has a nice chance performance, just on an AWFUL beat. i think he earned this second chance (pun intended) but he can definitely do better
JVB delivers another really fun album that arguably tops no hands which was one of my favourite albums of last year. the production is punchier than a physical altercation with prime Mike Tyson with some incredible sample flips, drum loops that just ooze with passion and fun writing from both members of the duo. Is this love is the only song that really is made worse by their rapping performances but its MORE than made up for by that instrumental.
Fuck you i like this album. sure its not my favourite project from them but I find this album to be at the very least better than bullets in a ranking of their discography. this album leans far more into the pop punk aspects of their music at its heaviest, and at its lightest ends up in a more glam punk/pop rock direction which sure, isnt my favourite sound for the band but it really does work for most of this tracklist. even SING, which is considered pretty bad by a lot of people I think ... read more
30 --> 55 --> 70 --> 78
the roller coaster i have with this album continues. this album has aged pretty great and even though its very reminiscent of what carti managed to do with whole lotta red, it carves its own identity for itself unlike any of kens prior records where he'd just poorly replicate other sounds that carti had carved out for himself and I think thats where more chaos fails in comparison is having a consistent sound and beat selection.
i've got parts of ... read more
after not loving Lyfestyle, I was worried yeat was gonna abandon the 2093 type style. Glad to say that not only did he not abandon it, he improved on it. saying that, I REALLY liked 2093 so thats high praise. this is probably my favourite project yeat has dropped ever
Bangers bangers BANGERS. not as good as the forever story but if thats what you expected then you needed to temper your expectations. the album still has thematic strengths primarily about accepting and loving your flaws because god created us that way and still loves us that way, which is something I really needed reminded of today. more in depth review can come in later but I have no major complains about this album, every feature every verse and beat all fuckin hit. the clipse collab was ... read more
genuinely some of the better stuff to come out of the underground this year. Dullscythe manages to bring a certain level of flair to his music that you dont hear much. you can definitely hear most of his influences but it never comes to the point where you think "oh hes just a bladee clone" because he pulls from so many different influences and blends them in such a way that doesnt feel messy, but actually makes sense. vocally reminiscent of the draincore sound with production ... read more
OG review: theres an argument to be made that this is the best album the lable has released this year. Homixide gang have always been better than lone for me when it comes to opium members. free agents was a track that had to grow on me now that i've listened to the album but i didnt even know that this was for the album seeing as I5U5WE5 had just dropped last year. My hype built up when 5G dropped which has meechies most unhinged performance that really captured the manic industrial rage ... read more
i've had time to reflect since i initially believed this to be the second best album of the year and i've not really ot any major critiques on the music itself because its all fantastic. from the writing, to the lush production Vanisher is quadeca's most ambitious and impressive record yet and is one hell of a musical experience.
but thats just it, a musical experience. While vanisher is one of the best album experiences of the year it isnt something that i find myself going ... read more

On JohnyBoy's review of slayr - Half Blood (BloodLuxe)
"Considering you liked flashout freestyle, give stunt 4 life by ezcodylee a shot. Given he already features on the original half blood you might fw it. It blends rage and punk rock perfectly in my opinion, and doesnt feel like the fake "punk" personas that carti or che have done in recent years"
On JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
"@StarLightBBX as someone who isnt a drake fan, idk why he hates in drake so strongly. I dont believe he's ever gone into any reasons he just pokes fun at him all the time. Granted its funny, but he's doint the same thing people dislike drake for. Repetitive whining"
On 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓪's review of ezcodylee - STUNT 4 LIFE
"@dingalingaling i got it as soon as he started using the word "punk" the way he did. Being punk is being unapologetic about your politics and your opinions and che expresses absolutely none of that. Apart from the abrasive sound, there's no essense of 'punk' in anything that che does, especially in comparison to ezcodylee who has punk DNA embedded into each bit of the music"

On #1 MIDWXST DICKRIDER 🍆💦's review of 2slimey - times changin
"@redsnapper2 not at all, just because they employ distortion doesnt mean it distorts everything else, its a very clearly controlled chaos with death grips. With 2slimey it clearly trumps everything else in the instrumental and even the vocals."
On #1 MIDWXST DICKRIDER 🍆💦's review of 2slimey - times changin
"@ramonapark01 absolutely not lmao. Death grips isnt an assault on the ears with distorted 808s cranked to the max with trash lyrics and no variety in the delivery."
On #1 MIDWXST DICKRIDER 🍆💦's review of 2slimey - times changin
"@ramonapark01 death grips actually have talent. they actually pushed the envelope for the time and have substance to their writing. what does 2slimey bring to the table? I dont really hate 2slimey but death grips make coherent music, 2slimey doesnt."

On musicrater9's review of Bad Bunny - Super Bowl LX Halftime Show
"@felix_valkyria that history has no baring on the fact ice, especially as it stands right now, is a dangerous and tyrannical institution. it is wild to dismiss that fact due to the reason it exists because as it stands, innocent people are dying and its not just the sex traffickers and drug traffickers because the government that are so involved in funding ice, have also been covering up the biggest sex trafficking ring in human history. you're missing the point beyond belief. I wont deny that traffickers and other awful people have been persecuted at the hands of ICE, but as it currently stands, the way that institution is being handled as we speak is dangerous and it needs either drastically reformed, or abolished."
On claire ☆'s review of Gesaffelstein & The Weeknd - Lost In The Fire
"i didnt interpret it as a conversion bar, just one about fucking a bi girl, but yeah it doesnt make it any less cringe to hear him sing about. it always annoys the fuck out of me whenever someone does it as a massive Abel fan."
On PlasticTrees's review of Che - REST IN BASS: ENCORE
"@th3o you dont need video proof to believe carti beat his gf retard. Do you think thats the only valid form of proof for someone to believe someone did something? Do you think EVERYTHING is recorded or else it didnt happen? The closest we have is the footage of the interrogation and direct aftermath of him 'alledgedly' beating that pregnant woman. If you do your research you will find plenty good reasons that people believe that he did that."
On jackolson45's review of Nas - Magic 3
"As someone who likes this album a good bit more than most, magic 2 and 3 are so much less focused than magic 1. I think its because magic 2 and 3 were a lil more rushed and looser in concept as magic 1 was made in anticipation for KD3, but did something with more of an old school feel to set it apart.
Magic 2 and 3 arent being made in anticipation of anything and just instead feel like throwaways from nas and hits other sessions"

On nino888's review of OsamaSon - Flex Musix
"@ChemicalRr not particularly, it can be in a lot of cases but aesthetic can be correctly used in many different ways kinda used interchangeably with vibe in a musical context but the visual aspect is often used to strengthen the aesthetic in other areas. Again to use an example, opiums visual aesthetic is used in tandom with the aesthetic they use in their music"
