album swap with @ggollihue !!! 5/5 FINAL ONE!!

im sat here twiddling my thumbs questioning why this didn't click with me. and then i remember that nu-metal is really not my preference when it comes to metal music. i very much prefer more classic stylings or more hardcore sounds. so this album could be other people's cup of tea, just not mine :/

but beside that, there were some really interesting moments on this tracklist, probably the big one being "what's up ... read more

IM SO UNBELIEVABLY HARD

album swap with @ggollihue !!! 4/5 (nearly done, so sad ml <3)

you know, when i was a young lad i discovered twitter. and a man on there had said that people who don't like metal are discriminatory. so i disagreed, giving the example that a die-hard swiftie who only listens to the landfill queen herself probably wouldn't like any kind of metal. the idiot then responded that they would like symphonic metal because its shit. so for about a week, i listened to symphonic metal to come ... read more

album swap with @ggollihue <3 3/5

you know, seeing as though this is an aoty-user made album and it's currently number 8 for this year, it had been on my list since release basically. now listening, i ask how many other albums have i been putting off that are pure gems like this.

i really don't know all that much about Sam, but i can say they really struck gold here. the textures are beautiful and very well-mixed. some of the most gorgeous rock released this year truly!

album swap with @ggollihue !!!! 2/5

yknow, that's uhm, that's something

metalcore is sometimes a little scary to approach and talk about more in-depth as im a metal lover, not an expert. but pain remains might be one of my favorite metal records, this is visceral and raw, and im obsessed with the vocals even if they sound like a screeching pig, i want more of them please.

one thing i really like is the incorporation of symphonic metal acoustics mixed with the death/metalcore ... read more

this is genuinely the most awful experience i have ever had with music

rec from @ggolihue !!!! album swap #1

avenged sevenfold is a metal band that i have no prior experience. i think metal is very, very hit and miss as a genre. you either get master of puppets or st anger. sorry to remind you of st anger, won't happen again.

but im very happy to say i very much had fun. now, city of evil does not reinvent the wheel, but i don't really think it needs to be, its enjoyable as it is. it's fast, upbeat, and just is kind of everything you want in an ... read more

rec #2 from @Caboosebeach !!!

frailty is an album that while nice and impressive sonically, i feel lacks some differentiation that i would normally look for in electropop records (especially ones that are an hour long). its not that i hate these songs or anything, just sitting through it as i got to the end felt very similar. there are some tracks i'll be returning to definetly though.

also have to mention how emotional this is (it can get a little cringy, like XXXTENTACION but it is ... read more

rec #3 from @Missing_Lyriks album swap!!

i do think florence welch is a special artist. she always sticks to her guns artistically. sometimes i felt that got a little old on this record, but her voice is always beautiful and she can always make me enjoy the experience no matter what <3

hello my loves <3

just hit 100 followers, thank you so much!
a big brat review is coming to celebrate, but it might take maybe close to a month. promise <3

again, i appreciate each and every one of you :)

@CabooseBeech rec #1, go check out his reviews of my recs if u havent!

pretty much as soon as i started getting into music more analytically, i realised that porter robinson was an artist i needed to find more about. prior to this, i had only listened to smile! :D from this year. i found the record very very good, with some really inventive production stylings i was not really used to.

i also think nurture is interesting texturally. with a more clean sheen over the whole project. think ... read more

i feel like i talk about being turned on in my single reviews too much but like

so poppy just got even more poppy, coolsies

thanks guys im now scared of churches, fucking terrific

be right back after i find out why fetch the bolt cutters sounds so shit all of a sudden

fuck you all

album swap with @Mellesteen <3

so i was sitting there - scrolling through aoty when i thought "hey! how about i do an album swap early to be productive" and i am doing that. while also not doing the one kam gave me (im sorry kam apology with tears posted soon).

so here i am, being mildly productive by enveloping myself in julia holter's back catalogue.

i know very little about holter. i have only watched fantano's review of her record released this year. that's ... read more
