Scratches the same itches as Mauvais Œil did (Its also the first french project I heard)
Being brazilian and not knowing french means I will probably never get this as well as I should. Regardless, french rap sounds way fresher and more interesting than american and british rap. This project rly sold the dark and heavy sound I was searching for after running out of Racionais/Facção Central material to listen to.
Penguin with shotgun album cover is very nice
The lyrics on the second half of Brown Shoes dont make it sound very familiar, its almost like I see it on the news every few weeks
Cool, but VERY frontloaded, and its not all it was hyped up to be by that one review. The first track is kinda lackluster, 16 minutes filled with generic synphonic prog from the 70s, stuff u can find genesis, O terço, and some other bands doing way before Guruh Gipsy came out. The second track is where the album starts to get good, and it is where the indonesian aspects of the music starts showing, not much more to say tho.
Skipping to the 4th track, where the second half starts, the ... read more
listening to this with translated lyrics was a very good decision. Pls, spend time with this album, read the lyrics, search for their meaning, look at pictures of what Max Collini is talking about. Its amazing, and I can confidently say it sits comfortably in the second place of my favorite albums of all time, at least for now.
ngl, I love this as much as I love any other album I have given a 100 rating, this rocks
I AM ABOUT TO HIT THE SECOND TOWER, AND I AM FAKELISTING THIS ALSO. NO ONE KNOWS I HAVENT HEARD THIS
I AM FAKELISTING THIS ÁLBUM, I HAVE NOT HEARD THIS ALBUM, I AM FAKELISTING IT, I am going igoy mode...
A little Incosistent, some tracks stand out a lot, while some feel kinda lackluster, or even bad sometimes. Cuide Mais do Seu Jardim, Dia a Dia, Tarde de Mais, Efeito Colateral, Eu e Eu and Simples Assim (the best on the album) are worth checking out. It was a nice listen, but with the ammount of skips, I rather listen to sepparate tracks than to return to the album.
This could just be perfect, if it weren't for zoom, I dislike zoom

"@40Rats People care way to much about fakelisting here in Brazil, and at the end of the day it does not change anything, the rating is just a number, and the only thing that matters is what >you< think about the album. No I am not defending people that fakelist, since fakelisting tells me you lie to make urself look better to others, im just saying it isnt all that bad.
In the end, this rating is just a joke I made for my friends, right after they said they would rather be dead than fakelist something. I dont think I would like Daughter of Darkness, but I also dont think I would give this bad of a score.
And as I said, fakelisting doesnt change anything, at least not If I am honest about it.
I love you, and made you a drawing."

"@Romannoodles well, Its just a Fun story. People usually forget that storytelling doesnt need to be tragic and crime related like Dance with the Devil and Children story. Also, the storytelling is solid, he flows rly well and Tells the whole story without any bad bars (which is better than usual for ATCQ, they arent rly well known for good lyricism)"

On Romanoodles's review of A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
"The pay for lunch bar is Just to give context on why he would leave his wallet on the counter. Yeah, the story isnt the best, but I cant rly find a pointless bar in It. Why point out this song tho? There is a whole song dedicated to ham and eggs being high on colesterol later on the álbum (I personaly love this track, but Its definitively the most random and pointless track on the album)"

"@Romannoodles but why 19? What about the other 3 songs you have given very low scores? What makes them so bad?"
On Romanoodles's review of Frank Zappa - Zoot Allures
"Pls dont take what im saying seriously if you are comfortable listening and rating the way you do. All im trying to say is, dont take music to seriously, you can still enjoy something even if forgetable, at the end of the day, if you liked something, why not give it a positive rating? You mentioned Ms. Pinky is alright, you found something in it cool, yet you gave it a 10/100 rating, how is "Aight'' a 1/10? Black Napkin has one of the best Zappa Solos, but you gave it a 30/100. What makes it diffrent from Watermelons in easter hay? Is it the context of the songs? Wieh has a story behind it, Black Napkin doesnt, Is that enough to make a 70 points gap between them?"
