I can surrender to the fact that this record is much better and more interesting with the context of how Marc Rebillet makes these tracks. That seemingly improvised side of synth funk that depends solely on a keyboard, a looper, a mac with almost endless library of sounds, and a warped, pitch black style of humor. If you don't know that, then you probably will find this flawed but interesting. For those who know, you already know this project is fun, bouncy, experimental, creative, hilarious, ... read more

(just to get all biases out of the way, i'm friends with the artist who made this album, and i'm being completely honest in my judgement of my album. I respect him as an artist and a human to give him my full criticism. if this seems like it's up your ally (hip-hop with emphasis on lyrical content and a darkly happy styled tone), please support him and his label Cult Gang, they do really good things)

This album is pretty decent but it's flawed. The verses that WILL4M writes and delivers are ... read more

Usually I write this reviews as I listen to the album through for the second or third time, but this time Im writing this right after I listened to this for the first time, because right now I don't think I can say anything.

I listened to this album with my mother, coming back from a trip to visit to see my sister. We were both speechless. It's an album I love the hell out of, with the sonic elements of each corresponding part being almost perfect to listen to. Not reaserching to much into ... read more

A pretty nice and smooth jazz record with the slightest toches of hip hop. Every inclusion of instrumentation feels fresh and flavorsome, each instrument making the songs that more flavorful. It's inticing, complex and intricate flavor of jazz is one that feels smooth and engrossing, like a cigarette, but without the burnt lungs and nicotine addiction (even though you might become addicted to learning some of these sections). Even the less jazz centric parts bare extremely well done, with the ... read more

Well then. It's definitely a unique experience to say the lest. While the album length does take away the replayability of the project, it's hard not to admire the artistic creativity at work here. There are moments are genius amoungst the work of idiocy like, and I really want to like this record, but the genius and the idiocy are both one and the same. While the production and performances could be improved I feel like that was intetional. Whether it was a good choice or not I'll never know. ... read more

So this can fuck off.

Favorite Jams: N/A (Maybe Happy Together and No Scrubs if I was drunk out of my MIND)

Lest Favorite: Nearly fucking everything.

EDIT: OK this is genuinely pissing me off. Not only is this covers album not wanted, not needed and unnecessary as hell, but it can only harm Weezer. Their new album is right around the corner, and by displaying a uninteresting setlist of tracks made pretty much only to make white kids in their teens "bop", it kills any hype that the ... read more

Damn. Sounding like Daft Punk producing for Clipping, it's an album that's fun, full of quirky, alternative, fun and interesting production backing smart, well written, interesting and imaginative flows by Aesop Rock. It sounds like a fun house full of wacked out, experimental and strange soundscapes full of demented themes and messages. And that's just the by-the-number description. One of the early experimental hip-hop gems of 2019 that you wont want to miss out on.

Favorite Jams: Tuesday, ... read more

It's pretty good. Much more space tinged and atmospheric then the Car Seat Headrest releases I've heard before. The low-fi aesthetic of this album really helps create a distant and futuristic mood that pulls influences from Bowie while still having the uniquely hipster-esq sound of Car Seat Headrest to create something truly interesting. It's a well written, if not slightly nihalist, record that is really worth your time, and proves you don't need amazing production to create something truly ... read more

This album, simply put, is great. With a concept that is both interesting and engaging, lyrics and flows that are tight and fun to listen to, and sample-heavy production that not only aids the grand feel of the album, but is gigantic in scope and exciting to listen to, it's a pretty interesting and great record, with a almost clasical-esq feel to the whole project. With a album of this nature however, skit reliance on getting plot coherency is to be expected, but these skits don't slow the ... read more

This track alone shows Joji's abilities for making hard hitting, exciting and fun rap music, with excellent production, funny verses and fantastic features. If Joji can bring this level of fun, excitement and fun to his more recent musical output, then chances are we all would be talking about Joji in a new light.

This album is already a sore thumb in the discography of Deftones, being one of the more spacey, ambient, and cautious albums in the bands discography. Not to say that the album is lacking in any bite, because the album is far more toothy and vicious then ever, with some stomping and face melting tracks to go along with the more quiet parts in the album. It's an album that covered in atmosphere, like watching an oncoming bomb drop. It's as well performed and well constructed as any of their ... read more

In all honesty, I wish people would talk about this album the some way they talk about Around The Fur or White Pony, as it's one of the most underrated albums in the groups discography. This album is full of punches, with some songs being more direct in it's attacks while some tracks go for the heart. It's an album that sounds mystical, other-worldly, and ethereal while still sounds dark, distorted and dingy. It's a great album, with twisting musical passages and many different moods. The group ... read more

Talk about experimental. In it's first 10 minutes alone, Igorrr go through at lest 7 genres, ranging from operatic to EDM to black metal. Yet somehow, there is cohesion in the madness. The sounds don't sound too distant to take away from the experience, and at times it works rather well. But other times...yeah it's a mindfuck to say the very lest. Some points had me in awe, other points I was laughing my ass off. It's a strange, weird, odd and experimental record that wont be for everyone. ... read more

A pretty good release. It's one of Deftones more accessible albums, with the more aggresive and odd experimentation almost left at the door in favor of delivering an album that is chock full of emotion and raw power. And on that front it works wonders. It's one of the more emotional tracks and gripping performances that will leave you listening to songs over and over. It's a great record, but by Deftones standereds it is slightly lacking from the potential that this band usually provides. A ... read more

Just when you think Deftones can't step it up any further, they deliver a batch of tracks that both sound evil and fragile at the same time. It's an album full of space, both mentally and sound wise. It's an album that sounds like a spaceman slowly going insane in his spaceship alone, reflecting on his life, seeing it slowly fall away from him. It's both hauntingly beautiful and hard hitting, making for some truly great music. Chino’s vocals are better then ever, and the instrumentation ... read more

It's fine. The production could use some work, and the songwriting isn't as captivating or as interesting as previous albums, but it's not terrible. It's got the hard hitting instrumentation and pitch perfect vocals as per usual, with a little more emphasis on atmosphere and mood that would guide the band down a loftier and more dreamlike road in the future. However, it's just kinda unmemorable. It's a fine record that you'll listen to and think "Yeah it's alright", but there is v ... read more

While not as good as what Deftones would be able to accomplish, it's still a mindbogglingly great record that sounds like Deftones are ironing out their kinks. It sounds like the transition album from good to great, and it captures a lightning in a bottle energy from one of the most exciting and experimental acts in nu-metal. Chino's nasty screaming and whispered singing is at it's top potential here, and it's a lovely addition to an already interesting band. It's catchy, exciting and ... read more

This album is not cool. In some ways, it's almost amazingly not cool. It's dorky, nerdy, whiter then the moon sounding punk rock that sounds like it came almost directly from some poor mothers basement. But, despite all that, it almost works in it's favor. While it is hard to take some one who sings songs like "Parents" and "I'm Not A Loser" seriously, it's still a fun as fuck, energetic, well performed and surprisingly smart punk record that has got some of the cleanest and ... read more

This album is all about frustration. Frustration with the world, frustration with yourself, frustration with creativity, frustration with staying sober, frustration with everything. And you can here the frustration in each track. From David's unhinged vocals to his painstakingly angry lyrics, it's an album about the times you've wanted to punch a hole into a wall, and how to learn to control the frustration. It's an album that is on the verge of being completely experimental, but still is ... read more

While not the most accessible album in the Berlin trilogy, this is probably one of my favorites. From the fantastic vocal performance of Fantastic Voyage to the bonkers African Night Flight to the insanely catchy D.J., this album is filled to the brim with great track after great track. It feels like David Bowie is literally taking the listener on a voyage around the world, with a stop to talk about how terrible western civilization is, like a tour guide who clearly isn't getting paid enough. ... read more
