Pinned Review
edit: really tried to re-review this album.
Prologue
Every time a cell reaches maturation, it must split. Cells do this through a process called division, either through mitosis or meiosis, depending on the type of cell. What both have in common, however, is that they involve the process of DNA splitting in half for each cell. There's a hard limit to this division, called the Hayflick limit, a hardcoded barrier that prevents a cell from dividing infinitely, and instead spurs the cell to kill ... read more

From hip-hop’s inception, the genre has been intertwined with electronic dance music. From its origins with Afrika Bambaataa flipping Kraftwerk and disco songs into block party jams, to the early 2010’s nascent American dubstep scene featuring rappers like A$AP Rocky and Pusha T, hip-hop and EDM are intertwined in history and legacy, the influence of one affecting the development of the other. A drum break that first rises on hip-hop’s turf is mangled and twisted into ... read more
Imagine being thrown into the aural equivalent of a malfunctioning PC, where files are converted into strangely catchy audible distorted mush. You are sucker punched with blown out chiptune synths, drum breaks that feel like they came right out of your asshole, and samples that somehow work within the context of the album and nowhere else.

Our greatest modern-day prophets, rather than ... read more

Today, November 7, 2025. I'm writing this album review in the back of a car on the way home. The sun's set below the horizon, the sky a golden sakura pink and nigh on abyssal blue. I'm thinking about the days ahead. Exams in college, hangouts with friends I'll be meeting in person for ... read more

Justin Vernon is no stranger to screwing with his listeners. Whether it's the solo Auto-Tuned vocal piece "Woods" sandwiched between "For Emma, Forever Ago" and "Bon Iver, Bon Iver," the Cubist collage of "i,i" deftly balancing noisy Zedd samples and intimate songwriting, or even his most recent effort's return to a more acoustic and RnB sound ... read more
