Fantastic tribute to Latin America, particularly Puerto Rico which continues to be an actively neglected colony of the US.
I was gonna write an essay for Kendrick's halftime show last year (which I obviously watched drunk with friends with bbq wings, same this year, shit was peak), but 2025 was way too fucking miserable for me. This year also got off to a really chaotic start, since my last review since I was forced to move out unexpectedly (landlords are hitler, decommodify housing now), ... read more
Swans is still one of the most uniquely visceral experimental bands I've ever heard
Since I listened to The Beggar in 2023, I've been fascinated by their extremely extensive, avant-garde manner of conveying concepts like this, something like the miracle of birth in such a suffocating and bone-chilling way. The erratic switches in tone in places like the opener and Guardian Spirit, contrasted with the agonizingly slow build-ups that follow do so much to make this story so palpable in ... read more
Maruja has to be the best band I've discovered through this site, can't believe how goated with the sauce they are so consistently
So, after listening to this band for 2 years, they're finally out with their debut album, and it's by far their most ambitious work to date, expanding their stylistic scope in terms of genre and themes. A lot of their political and philosophical ideas are upfront here more than ever before, themes perfectly encapsulating of the worst issues from ... read more
As we’ve passed the original record’s anniversary, Linkin Park’s sudden and gigantic comeback hit me like a ton of bricks last year. Through 7 years of thinking the band was disbanded for good following Chester’s tragic passing, the band worked on all of this completely under the radar, since 2019 as a matter of fact with Emily Armstrong who, ignoring all her weird controversies, is one of the best metal vocalists of her generation.
Personally, I’ve gone through a ... read more
My artistic journey this past year has been really strange, as I've struggled to work on my first album, I've generally struggled to do anything in life these past 12 months as I've continued to face the same mental health struggles, I've continued to see the world getting destroyed, this has probably been the most desolate year of my life since 2021, however, I've been fighting back this past month. I've been slowly recuperating my personal and artistic confidence ... read more
I might actually quit this fucking site for good now
I'm crashing tf out over this demon who got me into this site to begin with, the best you can do is show Tina some support and block Brad, I'm genuinely fucking disappointed and I'm properly stepping away from this site for a while.
istg i'm gonna review new music soon, i've just been going through the worst time of my life this entire year
Thank you Sabrina for blessing us with more lesbian radio synthpop this pride month; this is another reminder I'm missing out on her latest project that's been literally everywhere, she's fucking killing it rn commercially, I can't escape her, even in Fortnite, but her music's good, I enjoy this sound a lot since it's pretty Chappell ... read more
This song is about Kamala Harris AND Karl Marx
I've joked about it a trillion times but seriously,
"The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living" -Karl Marx
"You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you" -Kamala Harris
"I think the apple's rotten right to the core, from all the things passed down from all the apples coming before" ... read more
This one's interesting to me since this was the single that got me started in my CRJ hyperfixation literally the day it came out, I don't remember how I found it, I think Fantano reacted to it on stream, point is, it got me to listen to Emotion all the way through and later the singles for TLT, mostly because of the instrumental. This jazzy/funk type of production is so fun to listen to, mixed with Carly's lovely vocals and Lewis' laidback performance, I like how rough his ... read more
GIVE US THIS TRACK ON STREAMING OR I'M GOING JIHAD
yeah this track's really nice
Released in the middle of the pandemic and after Dedicated Side B, when the world needed her most, she delivered with a cute, minimalistic pop track which was her challenge to write something that wasn't a love song according to her band members, which when I read that made me realize how much of Kiss through to Dedicated were love songs, it's wild but I give her a pass because she is God. It ... read more
I dunno why I played this song like 30 times in a row one night, I do love the bass and her playful performance, I also have a soft spot for this kind of edm production, specially when it has this soft type of production, plus her writing very clearly came from the Dedicated era which I also really love, I might use CRJ singles as springboards for review essays in the future since I've been really missing that period between 2022-2023 when I was obsessed with her music and good things were ... read more
With an artwork straight out of 2010, I've gone off the deep-end to find new CRJ stuff since it's probably gonna be another year before we get a new album from her and we've only gotten a couple of singles/features here and there, but The Loveliest Time got me craving for MORE GODDAMMIT
This is a fine pop ballad, I have no idea what this show is besides the fact that she featured in it all the way back in January 2016 and I'm only hearing about it until now since it was ... read more
dear nuka, i don't mean to be mean but you lost your virginity to the black ops 2 menu theme
Finally renewing my gay membership card for 2025, I've been waiting for this album since fucking 2021 when Chromatica, as I've talked about at length, become one of my fundamental records of 2022 to drive my healing journey that year, so let's just say I had gigantic expectations for this project, not really knowing what was coming, I knew I wanted something completely different sonically from anything she's made as she tends to completely reinvent herself with her projects, ... read more
Very neat and cozy track from Tim's 2017 sessions, though for some reason they modified its production to be a lot more energetic and EDM-esc which contradicts the type of atmosphere he was trying to build for this track, specially given it was originally meant to be the closing track to his EP from that year which incorporated a lot more organic elements. Either way, it's cool to see this track released after like 8 years, I remember listening to the Kacey Musgraves demo the week it ... read more

To conclude my untitled series of tracks, I wanted to make a meditative experience going over my emotions, my thoughts on the world around me, my breakups, anxieties, political opinions, over this heavy piano loop with escalating drums as each section transitions. This is the last track I'll be releasing before the rollout to my debut album this year too so I wanted to mark this as a transitory stage in my artistic ... read more

"and it's specially sad because i probably would've given this track a pass, maybe it could've resonated in some way as him being vulnerable and trying to overcome his childhood trauma, the problem is that's very obviously not the point of this track, it's all about the shock value now, nothing matters to kanye now other than being the most blatantly evil person he can be, and I think it's just pathetic, he could get help, he could improve, but he has chosen over and over not to, so I'm done with this cunt, let him go"

"@Beautifulinsane those aren't mutually exclusive, you can even use politics as a way to drive positive change in the lives of people you love, that's the whole reason I'm interested in openly discussing politics, because I want the people I love and care about to live in a better world and create positive changes in their own lives, we can at the very least agree that social and economic equality are good for the well-being and happiness of people, right? we can agree everyone should be allowed to be and express themselves as long as they're not harming anyone, right? That's my point, I'd only cut someone off if they were actively harming others through actions or rhetoric, I don't think you are, the defensiveness is just confusing here"
On ALESSANDRA - EPILOGUE(00)
"@Beautifulinsane I honestly don't even get what your point is here, do you mean to say you just don't want to discuss politics at all, and that actually both leftists and fascists are equally harmful? During a time when Trump is trying to declare people like me out of existence? Or maybe that far left tankies and nazis are both fascists? I do agree with that, I hate vanguardists, but I don't know if that's what you mean, like you phrased it in a way that implies that anyone who discusses politics and is devoted to a certain perspective is harmful and they're dead to you (?) I'm not sure since it's kinda incoherent so can you elaborate?"
