If you haven't heard Bowery Electric yet, I would recommend listening to Beat over this, but then listening to this soon after
Id only heard one smokedope2016 song before this album, but I will listen to many others afterwards. Production definitely carries a bit but that's ok
I liked his last album more but this is decent, would love to hear some weirder sounding songs produced by him
Been listening to New Veil City since I first heard it on a hivemind playlist a few years ago, and then I found out this album dropped also from hivemind
There isn't anything specific that really stuck out to me from listening to this, but it's a tranquil album with pretty and peaceful production. Something to play late at night, or maybe another time of day, ig depends on the person
Fav songs: New Veil City, Fairytale, Control
This is a really fun listen with lots of glitchy electronic music that, although containing some abrasive sounds layered throughout, doesn't commit to being aggressive
Sounds kinda like the new Porter Robinson. Catchy songs with interesting instrumentals
(Edit): 73 -> 65
This kinda grew off of me. I think the tracklist from Go Somewhere (2) to Halo (8) is pretty strong, but even during that stretch of the album im still not blown away. Sometimes it sounds...overproduced? I think sometimes throughout this album the core song may not be very strong, but is still somewhat saved by the production. As Ive heard the album more, and have become less distracted ... read more
It's pretty cool, definitely gonna be returning to songs on this
Fav songs: As Long As, I Like it, Welcome
Been listening to many artists named Doris recently, trying to find the best one. This is not #1, but im happy I found them
fav songs: Olson, Roygbiv, Turquoise Hexagon Sun, Aquarius, Pete Standing Alone, Happy Cycling
This is pretty accessible for a more experimental hip hop album. I don't think listeners would be turned away by confusing beats or strange flows. That being said there is depth here that warrants relistening
Fav songs: Recollections of the wraith, Swerve..., An echo from the hosts that profess infinitum, Youlogy
Fav songs: The Young People, The Wild Rover, Hunting the Wren, The Dark Eyed Gypsy
After a long hiatus I have given another Cocteau Twins album a chance. After only a few listens, there’s still more listening to do before I feel confident listing the most impactful tracks
Just as magical as I expected it to be, the vocals here especially stand out as some of the most unique and special of all their music I’ve heard
Fav songs: Can't Cool Me Down, Deadlines (Hostile), Martin
Is there a song in the wind?
Phil questions the purpose of life on this album, and brings us along for the journey. There’s beautiful wisdom to be gleaned from his observations and conclusions
Fav songs: I Hear Whales (I Think), I Spoke With A Fish, the Gleam, Pt.3

On breadness's review of Björk - Vespertine
"Good review Bread. I think it is ok to not have an introspective take on a piece of work like this, especially if it is still fresh. Bjork's writing can be pretty abstract - which adds to the magic, but also lends itself more to feeling the music as opposed to analysis"
On Vince Staples - Dark Times
"@dontneedauserna Lol to each his own
I think the Injury Reserve album has lots of cool ideas that ive never heard other artists do, and because of that I find it not boring since it keeps my attention, I also just think it's enjoyable to listen to.
This Vince album was pretty tame to me. I feel like ive heard Vince make similar songs before. I've also heard Vince make some really interesting songs, and I felt they were lacking on this album.
But yes you're right, we are now square"

On gabs7's review of JPEGMAFIA - SIN MIEDO
"@gxbs7 Yeah that makes sense. Hopefully just a weak single and not an indication of what is to come"
On gabs7's review of JPEGMAFIA - SIN MIEDO
"I understand this take, Im also not a huge fan of this single. but you gotta think back to the singles he's put out for albums in the past, which are typically his most straightforward tracks. Lean Beef Patty, Hazard Duty Pay, Trust, Jesus forgive me, etc. I think this is another case of a song like that, cuz I had the same thoughts for some of those songs, and then ended up liking them a lot more when the album came out"
