Pearly Drops - A Little Disaster
68

While by no means a ‘bad’ album, ‘A Little Disaster’ proves to be a less interesting listen that, while never bad, is not quite as varied and catchy as their debut.

Solartap - hypn0g0gia
85

Really solid, just far too short

Ogiishi Akira - FROM LINT TO GOD
68

Definitiely not Akira's best work; starts out real rough, and stagnates a little before really gaining it's stride towards the end. Akira's knack for experimentation doesn't always hit the nail on the head here, with most of the tracks just sorta end up forgettable and one (Prebroken) being outright hard to listen to. But it really does have some high highs in tracks like Enemy, Fireworks, This, and Lutino. Overall pretty alright but probably a step down from P.N.C.

Greet Death - Die in Love
70

Pretty decent through-and-through. I love the bit of country feel that comes through on a handful of the songs; but therein lies my one nitpick about the album, in that it feels like they don't quite want to commit to the sound, and leaves the end product feeling a little disjointed.

Endless Dismal Moan - Endless Dismal Moan
67

I really wanted to like this album more than I did but it's honestly just very repetitive and forgettable as a result.

Also, this isn't a criticism but I feel like a lot of the vocals sound like the growls a kitten makes when you try to take it's food away lol

Balzac - Out of the Grave and Into the Dark
63

Really repetitive and somewhat generic with a small handful of actually unique tracks. It's almost a little frustrating to listen to 5 tracks in a row that sound nearly identical, then get a really solid track, then be brought back to the same sound from before. There's only so many times I can hear dudes singing 'woah', and on something of this length, it wears out it's welcome pretty quick.

eX-Girl - Endangered Species
95

Endangered Species is eX-Girl's final album and clearly the culmination of their work. This album fully embraces the grandiosity and silliness of a frog/alien band into a fun rock opera. My only gripe is that in this album, as compared to their previous one, doesn't display as much of their genuine operatic skill that I feel like would've taken it to the next level.
