I don't really have a thought on this album that hasn't been told before. It's hardhitting punk music that you NEED TO HEAR, but I don't really have a review that would properly convey that. It's an album worth checking out for it's brutal metallic and biting riffs and snarling vocals for sure, and you shouldn't miss out on it by any stretch of the imagination.

So, i'm going to talk a little bit about why i've been so inactive recently.

So, last week, I was planning on making my way over the ... read more

That's it. I've had it.

Blink 182 are not a good band.

There is not a single record i've heard from this group that has 'wowed' me, or 'shaken me to my core', or hell, even a record that i've 'liked'. Every Blink 182 album i've heard even sounds too annoying, too boring or too stupid for me to really take them seriously or appreciate the performance. All I've gotten from this is a bad Fall Out Boy on Crack vibe that I hate with every fiber of my being. It just sounds fucking awful! And, for ... read more

Holy fuck.

This album is the forest, and i'm certain of it. Let's talk about that.

Because, if i'm being honest, I can't really put into words how well crafted, well produced, well made, well executed, well performed and well...genius this album truly is. Because lets be real here, you've heard all of that already. If you want just a basic run through what I think about this album: well, I think this is JPEGMAFIA's victory lap, especially with the way he goes about talking about his newfound ... read more

Dad i'm scared.

Now this is the Friday The 13th music i've been looking for!

The best way I can describe this is if Frank Sinatra and Randy Newman were really into Italian Horror Monster films and decided to make a rock opera. Yep, this album is that SPOOKY shit, and it's it at it's peak performance.

To be fair, both parties are no stranger to this. Mike Patton has built his name on his hellish screams and quacked out production styles, with him front-running Mr Goddamn Bungle, Fantomas and Tomahawk. The man ... read more

Goddamn. This has none stop bangers.

I swear to Christ that this group of PC Music pop stars are creating some of the most engaging, smartest, fun, entertaining and interesting pop music to ever come out. It's like if Britney Spears was screwed into a blender and spat out in a crystallized heap of garbage that grew tentacles and starting vomiting out bangers, because holy shit this album slaps. I can't even wear the mask of 'I know about music' because this shit is just fucking banger city ... read more

This album reminds me of home.

In New Zealand, at lest with my family and friends, one of the highlights of any get together or meeting or hangout or whatever is the 'Beach BBQ'. This is a pretty self explanatory, it's just a good ole BBQ that we happen to have on the beach. It's not a complicated thing to wrap your head around, yet there is this specific vibe to the whole event that I've never pinned down. It's an extremely wholesome event, with good food, great company and a lovely vibe. But ... read more

So imagine that your on a street.

It's London, it's raining and your about to go in to your friends party. You've known this person for a while now. You've become friends with them, really close. But...you feel something more. You feel this weird feeling in the pit of your soul, forcing yourself to spend as much time with this person as possible. It's a weird mixture of fear, stress and...love. But you don't think about that right now. You go in, and immediately you see ... read more

...Fuck it, Stoney was better.

I'd let Post Malone fuck me. Well, at lest with his last record, an album I really honestly enjoyed. It was an album that paired it's repetitive (if we are being honest here) pop tenancies with sharp, catchy and solid song writing, and a uniquely melancholic and interesting vocal delivery that showed great potential. Was there filler for days, and the 18 track length didn't feel justified? Yeah, but it also had such amazing pop tracks that these could be ... read more

(Band Binge: Muse Part Three of Six)

So, from one of the tightest and fun rock records of the early 2000s, how do you top or continue that feat?

Make a concept album of coarse!

From talking about the world and the emotions that is inside of themselves, Muse take a very minor risk and try to do something that at the time they had never done before: talk about the world at large with their very first concept record. So what's the concept? Well, the first track paints it pretty well. It's the ... read more

Ooooooh, fuck it up Fantano! Fuck it up on the dancefloor Fantano!

Oooooh, see him on the dance-floor, with those bass lines and tight ass drum patterns! Look at him, dancing his precious little heart out, knowing every word to every song! He's busting a goddamn jam right now! He's moving and grooving like nobody cares! He's going super disco right now, and there's nothing no-one can do to stop him!

Look how his bald head glistens on the dancefloor! Look at how he doesn't have a care! The ... read more

IT TOOK 13 YEARS TO MAKE!
IT'S ALL RELATED TO THE NUMBER SEVEN!
IT CURES CANCER AND REVERSES THE DAMAGE OF AIDS!
THIS ISN'T AN ALBUM, THIS IS A EVENT AND A EXPERIENCE!
THEY JERK OFF TO THE FIBANACHI SEQUENCE!!!!!!!!

But does it slap tho?

That was the only question I had for this record, does it slap? And going into this album, this question was growing more questionable. Tool has been a band that I never got into, despite the fact that literally everyone on the face of the earth has at one ... read more

(Band Binge: Muse Part Two of Six)

Is it unfair of me to look at a b-sides compilation when compared to the bands whole discography? Yes, but this is good shit people!

So many of you may be wondering from that first statement what this record even is? Is it an unknown Muse record that no-one payed attention to? Well, no. This is a b-sides record to coincide with a live release the group did after Origin of Symmetry. So, why look at now? Because it fucking slaps that's why!

This is ... read more

Thank fucking Christ this is good.

As a sad, lonely and completely biased Stan of this group, I was worried sick for this album. BROCKHAMPTON is one of my absolute favorite rap groups, with irridesecence being one of my favorite albums of last year. So, when the singles were slightly underwhelming, I got worried SICK. Not that the singles were truly bad or anything, but when nothing connected the first time I heard the lead singles, especially when BROCKHAMPTONs single game was usually ... read more

(Band Binge: Muse Part One of Six)

It slaps. It crunches. It hits hard. But it aint perfect.

For those who don't know, Muse used to be my all time favorite band. These British boys were my first taste at heavy music, rock music and more classical styled production, completely influencing the type of music I listen to today and in the past. But...yeah, they haven't aged like wine. Each new release from this group seems to get more backlash and hatred, with more fans jumping ship because, ... read more

Edit: I said BCNR was a ten before it was cool!

Recently i've been looking at what i'm gonna do when I leave High School, an extremely exciting but deafeningly stressful time in my life. I know that if I want to achieve the things I want to achieve, I need to get started at things asap, but I know for a fact that i'm not ready to move into that stage of my life yet. I just need another year or two, but sadly life doesn't move at my same pace. It moves a lot quicker and is violently ready to ... read more

(Album To Listen List #1)

This isn't punk, at lest not anymore.

I KNOW THAT'S A BIG CLAIM, BUT HEAR ME OUT!!!!

Look, I love punk as much as the next guy, with the music paving potencial for biting, destructive songwriting with almost revolutionary lyrics and harsh, intentionally under proudced and straight to the point, no fluffing around, all while fighting against the norm of a modern society revolting against fast drums and even faster guitars. That to me is what classic punk was. That's ... read more

So...for my first Classic Review...yeah i'm gonna get a lot of people angry on this one. Please don't kill me I swear I love music!

I'm just gonna cut to the chase. You all probably know what this album is, and you all probably love this album to pieces...and hate the score I gave. Look at these reviews, straight 100s across the board! But look, it's not like I went into this album wanting to dislike it. Truly, I really was looking forward to it!

The whole scene was set: Rainy day, Saturday ... read more

Blanck Mass have the potential to make classic, genre breaking material that could compete with the likes of SOPHIE, Death Grips, JPEGMAFIA or even lesser acts like HEALTH or Street Sects, but what Ben Power mostly spends his time doing is making pretty decent electronic music.

How is that a complaint? Let me explain.

First off, what is Blanck Mass? And who the fuck is Ben Power? If i'm going to be honest, I wish I had those answers, but I don't. I believe (from the very quick google search ... read more

My house is now destroyed. My town is now in flames. My dad is now a pile of bones.

And I couldn't be happier.

Are the critics on crack? This isn't just a one-note idea, this is King Gizzard going the fuck off! Goddamn was this worth the wait! I tried so hard not to listen to the leaks, but goddamn was this album as satisfying a listen as any i've had this year so far. This album, from the bottom and top of my heart, absolutely and unequivically WRECKS!

From the thunderous drum work, to the ... read more
