100 gecs - sympathy 4 the grinch
90

• Perfect 100 gecs Christmas song
• la-la-la-LA-la
• This is the first real shift toward full rock for them

Toby Marlow - Six: The Musical (Studio Cast Recording)
65

• I HATE THE AIRHORNS
• This is for sure an interesting musical as it's presented more as a concert because the characters are all in universe pop stars
• They all go over their backstories and their issues with Henry VIII through songs
• They songs are all fairly solid but the jokes can range from hilarious to utter cringe
• "Don't Lose Ur Head" is a good example of both where some parts got me laughing but the use of modern lingo is, eh. The rock chorus at ... read more

Broadway Cast - Anastasia (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
80

• Amazing ballads, some stand out fun songs and overall a good musical
• Some songs are a little boring or just too on the nose but generally it's at least ok
• The cultural influences in the music of Russia and Paris are so fun and make this musical stand out in quite a few places
• Beautiful voices all around, the vibrato is a bit much at times though
• "In My Dreams" is one of the most amazing and heartwrenching "I want" songs I've ever heard. The ... read more

Nick Arundel & Ron Fish - Batman: Arkham Asylum (Original Video Game Score)
30

• Works just fine in game, but definitely isn't really meant to be listened to outside. Plus the midi is really obvious sometimes
• "Eternal Glide" and "In the Batcave" are pretty but that's really all I've got
• Fuck "The Asylum Cells" that shit jumpscared me

Favorite: Eternal Glide
Least Favorite: The Asylum Cells

Justin Hurwitz - La La Land (Original Motion Picture Score)
85

• Justin cooked
• This soundtrack is so well made and fits the movie in multiple different ways
• A lot, I'd even go as far as to say most of these songs are quoting or riffing off of melodies and chord progressions from the songs with lyrics
• I'll start here by saying that the 4 songs that have a focus on Mia & Sebastian's theme are the best on here and literally for no other reason. I am in love with their theme. It is so beautifully crafted to be this perfect mix of ... read more

Various Artists - La La Land (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
80

• I hate how he separated the soundtracks but this is just how it's gonna have to be
• This compliments the movie so well and at times takes the foreground in terms of importance plot wise
• So much fun jazz in here, at well as heartwarming/heartbreaking symphonics
• It also does a wonderful job of forshadowing certain plot events
• "Another Day Of Sun" is such a bright and happy introduction that I genuinely can't avoid smiling while listening to.
• ... read more

Heitor Pereira - Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
65

• Very well written, lots of theme usage, unfortunately doesn't work too well outside of the movie a lot of time. Although when it does, it BUMPS
• Stuff like most of the songs that have to do with Death work wonders within the movie but outside of that it's just kind of ambience
• Speaking of the wolf though, I will say, those tracks are like horror movie material, it's impressive, specifically "Bounty Hunter"
• One little thing with one of the Wolf's songs ... read more

Brian Tyler - The Super Mario Bros. Movie
45

• Really fun soundtrack with intuitive integration of the old themes and soundbites
• There are some blah moments as there are with a lot of soundtracks for me but it's overall pretty good
• They really liked the new main theme
• I believe some of the songs on here were cut so they could make room for the pop songs (stupid)
• The first 3 tracks of this go absolutely bonkers for different reasons
• The Opus is a wonderful intro that has heroic and fun tones while ... read more

The Newton Brothers - Five Nights at Freddy's (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
10

• Soundtrack scared me more than the damn movie
• This is a good horror movie soundtrack, which means it's not meant to be just listened to on the regular
• Aside from a couple somber tracks like "Delinquent Notice" and "Vanessa" most of this is just straight up horror ambiance
• The opening song is pretty good though
• I really like "My Grandfather's Clock" for what it is but it's just too scary to be on a playlist
• They only play ... read more

Hazbin Hotel - Hazbin Hotel: Season One (Original Soundtrack)
95

• Let's address the elephant in the room...I'm biased as hell. I love this show and characters
• LOOK MAN the music is just good okay. Some of them work better with context, but suprisingly, some of them work better without
• There is a lot going on in here but an overarching musical sound to it, with all these elements that would be harder to pull off in an actual theatrical production
• There are also a LOT of characters singing throughout these 16 tracks
• I will be ... read more

100 gecs - Snake Eyes
60

• Decent EP
• Really honing in their first projects sound while still expanding on it as they have been
• "Hey Big Man" is not for me 🙂
• On the flipside "Torture Me" is the perfect example of a great 100 gecs song

Favorite: Torture Me (feat. Skrillex)
Least Favorite: Hey Big Man

100 gecs - 100 gecs
5

• Bad
• First project so it's okay to be this bad...I guess?
• Each song transitions into the next but it's through just absolutely ear piercing noise sections

Favorite: bloodstains
Least Favorite: gum

100 gecs - 1000 gecs and the Tree of Clues
10

• Most of these remixs are dogshit, there's a couple good ones
• The 2 extra new songs are good but not worth suffering through the remixes
• Not much else to say, I like Fall Out Boy

Favorite: hand crushed by a mallet (Remix) [feat. Fall Out Boy, Craig Owens, Nicole Dollanganger]
Least Favorite: 745 sticky (Injury Reserve Remix)

100 gecs - 10,000 gecs
80

• I'm speechless I did not expect this to be THIS good like I knew it would be good but wow they outdid themselves
• They were genre bending on their first outing but like, this is just IT
• I feel like when artists try to incorporate unfamiliar genres into their music, it's like, "WOW THEY'RE DOING THAT!?!?!" but with 100 gecs it's like "cool they're doing that" because it's 100 gecs and they can do anything they want
• The singles for this album should ... read more
