71

82

92

Danny Brown - Stardust
74

loses me a few times throughout but 1999, whatever the case and femtanyl track is still flames

Castle Rat - The Bestiary
85

Another listen thru live review for the goat

PHEONIX I: Holy shit?? The reversed riff into this thumping, imposing beat that just builds and builds and builds. Fucking epic. The fade out bugs me tf out tho TRANSITION INTO SOME METAL DAMN.

WOLF I: Some fucking vocals my lord. Feels literally heavenly, as if one is being willed from above to engage. The last minute of tearing riffs into that thump thump thump again, my lord. I again just wish that PHEONIX I did a hard cut at full volume into ... read more

Weezer - Make Believe
43

happy 20 years to Perfect Situation, the last song Weezer made before becoming THE joke

Weezer - Weezer (Green Album)
54

starts great and just completely crash and burns after island in the sun, like that track was the last time Weezer remembered how to make a song lmao

...

lowkey kinda was for a bit LMAO

Weezer - Pinkerton
75

this album sounds pretty fun on headphones, but I must insist that everyone NEEDS to hear Pink Triangle in a live concert. what a jam

Phantom - Tyrants of Wrath
73

gonna review in real time for a friend

Poltergeist: epic as hell. same time, sounds like an intro to a retro-nostalgiaslop indie platformer

The Tower of Seth: Insane speed, just the right smoothness (for thrash) with it to remain at good fidelity. Vocals gotta be louder tho, couldn't make out enough even w lyric sheet. W solo, wow.

Violent Invasion: the typa speed metal that a regular show montage would use. Similar thoughts to previous song, cared less for it this time around ... read more

95

utterly obliterated any preconception of what music should sound like for me

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
76

The Killers if they were good

The Claypool Lennon Delirium - Monolith of Phobos
68

an incredibly curious thing. It's a very impressive mirage of a Beatles album but misses the most core component - the Beatles.

Mason Lindroth - Hylics OST
61

insanely chill, but at the same time, too abstract and non-purposeful.

Depeche Mode - Violator
93

I am someone who struggles to enjoy late 80s/early 90s synthpop. Much of it were held back by the shackles of lazy late disco, but too afraid to use the emerging sounds of the IDM and EDM, yet. Much of it feels lost and unsure of itself, and struggles to hold a groove that doesn't feel like it was ripped off an earlier album, or actively uninteresting.

Depeche Mode's Violater is aptly named because it strongly paved the way for the next level of dance music - a sort of darkness and ... read more

The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die
81

pretty much no other album where pure charisma carries every track. The album is just so bombastic that you can hardly recognize or home in on any individual issues you have with particular tracks

Panchiko - Ginkgo
84

It's nice to really be there the first second of an album slowly releasing. I think it was Ginkgo first. I was like 'ok yeah, they've found their niche', and I think I can confidently say they are doing it very well.

"@HyperByte it’s emulatable, but it’s pretty hard if you’ve never done it before, PlayStation 1 games don’t usually translate well. I would always make the effort though, such a charm to the game. Btw, do you have a Discord? No pressure but I reckon it would be easier to move our yapping to like a DMs system because of how infrequent I am here lol"

"@HyperByte generational tbh. Set the way for pretty much every reaction-based rhythm game after it. And it has an anime that made up my tweens. Although I’m definitely biased lol (Parappa is peak character design)"

On HyperByte's review of Brian Eno - Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks
"@HyperByte hmm. I can relate to the feeling, doing art for school killed my interest for drawing pretty hard. The thing about college though is that workload is entirely based on how much work you give yourself. Sure, doing less subjects slows down how fast you complete a degree, but you have total control over the pace you go through the coursework."
On HyperByte's review of Brian Eno - Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks
"@HyperByte Really brutal to hear that. Motivation is a frustrating thing. I am in uni now, yeah it’s alright but pretty heavy. Life draining in terms of workload maybe but the general aspect of it isn’t too bad. I’m actually doing compsci myself as a second major with chemistry. If you’re ever interested in pursuing it, learning to code doesn’t need uni at all, there’s heaps of pretty cheap courses online and the market doesn’t really prioritize degrees much. However I will say, nearly all compsci courses at any unis are completely online and have very little physical attendance, so if that’s a factor to motivation it’s not too bad."

On HyperByte's review of Brian Eno - Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks
"I also just finished high school and am going into uni in a couple weeks, it’s all really stressful. Heard this Brian Eno LP. This is quite some album, the wash of relief in what seems like a torment once ‘An Ending’ starts is brilliant. The album tries to drown you and then not only do you float, but you ascend into the stars. I hope you get through this hardship ok, you’ve got a fellow existentialist to vent to if you need to :)"
