King jizz in my ass and the Lizard jizz in my ass
King Lizard and The Wizard Lizard are so painfully out of ideas it's hilarious. K.G. was a sequel to Flying Microtonal Banana, already a sign they were running out of creativity, and now we've got a fuckin sequel to a sequel.
The formula they follow in this album, and pretty much in all their albums, is so transparent:
- pick a time signature not in 4/4
- write an exotic riff that ... read more

Black Dresses' music is an intense blend of extremely good and extremely bad things. For the positives, they present a unique concoction of abrasive industrial influences with quirky noise pop, awesome chemistry between the musicians, and wide variety of solid creative decisions made throughout their discography. On the flipside, the singing is pitchy and often comes off as lazy, the production is sloppy as hell, and the mixing will ... read more

For Your Health has set out to really flex the hell out of their versatility and talent on their debut (solo) album. With a 17 minute run time, it doesn't take long to wrap your head around what's going on here: let's bounce between dissonant mathcore with abrasive screams, to heavy chaotic metalcore breakdowns, to emotional post-rock climaxes with pretty guitar noodling, to catchier, more accessible clean vocal post-hardcore, then back to violent mathcore. Basically, let's innovate the genre ... read more

Really surprised by the low rating on this album. I mean sure by conventional standards this album is a mess, but a close observation reveals there is a LOT going on in this record that is absolutely fascinating.
Despite the messy performances and perplexing song structures, it's clear as day the Wiggin sisters knew their way around their instruments. The songs they're playing are HARD. They practiced on a regular basis for ... read more

I thought madlib couldn't surprise me anymore... WRONG!
We've all listened to a shit ton of madlib by now. We know the immeasurable impact he's had on the genre, we know his signature psychedelic/playful/jazzy sound, we know he's able to make a mix sound fucking fantastic even on an iPad. Is he really capable of putting out another record that'll bring any surprises?
Yes, yes he is.
This is an incredibly versatile record. I don't ... read more

Wow... what a record.
Packed with absolutely gorgeous, suffocating noise textures which embody many subtle buzzing rhythms within them, this record is very detailed, versatile, and hard to wrap your head around (unlike most drone records which are usually pretty straightforward). The drums are powerful as fuck and absolutely critical to each song (not something you see too often in drone), and the compositions really evolve very much ... read more

listening to this album feels like I just turned on the TV and Mickey Mouse just invited me into his Playhouse to play patty cake. It's very well executed Disney Channel music. If this album gives you a strong emotional reaction then I honestly am scared of you.

Really enjoyable listen. Cozy, spacy synths with a sustained crackling texture throughout the entire track that satisfies in an ASMR kind of way. I love how a real world recording is seamlessly incorporated into this song, it keeps the song unique and compelling and frankly I'd enjoy a full album of this.
This is a really pleasant listen. It's very hypnotic yet atmospheric, with spacy synths and gentle details that all fit together nicely. The mixing is great and overall it's a nice little progressive ambient techno meditation. My only complaint is that the melody and chord progression is a bit too simplistic for my taste. The arpeggiating synth does get a little bit tiring by the end and I think a little more complexity would've made this more compelling. But I liked it and I would listen to ... read more

In my recent review of the latest Viagra Boys release, I said I was getting really tired of all this artsy, noisy, somewhat generic post punk coming out of Europe in the past few years. Shame's new album Drunk Tank Pink has made me reconsider that.
Although you won't find anything particularly groundbreaking here, Shame's commitment to dynamic songwriting creates an album full of interesting rhythms, clever crescendos, and jarring ... read more

i like the album artwork. but i do not like the lyric that said im not good at rubbing a clitoris. to categorize all cisgender heterosexual males as people who dont know how to rub a clitoris is uncool, i know how to do it

Run-of-the-mill Beach Bunny
This is the weakest Beach Bunny release I've heard so far-- It's very safe, straightforward power pop with not much to offer. That isn't too big of an issue because this band is quite good even at their worst, but there's really nothing in this EP that'll have me coming back to it over their other records.

I'm getting really tired of all the music that sounds like... this. You know, the hollowed-out art punk streamlined for Spotify playlists that throws the occasional saxophone in there as if that makes them any different than the million other bands doing this exact shtick.
This band is competent, but they don't take nearly enough bold risks to justify me ever coming back to this release. These songs range from somewhat clever to ... read more

Lil Darkie is living proof that people who use the R-Word are incapable of making creative music
edit: bumping my rating up a bit because *sigh* I'll admit it, tracks 9, 10, and 11 are epic....
edit 2: Lil Darkie tried putting more punk in his music because he was inspired by me. Not fallin for it
