every snarky puppy song ever is two minutes too long.

you can't fool me with those claps at the end, you boring goobers.

if you told me "this act has been around since 2014" i would've looked at you and said "like that's when they were born???? what do you mean???"

this was suggested to me by the good people over at TIDAL and goddamn this drummer needs a RAISE.

but like ONLY THE DRUMMER.

3. Not Even Close To Far Off - 4.5

if Sampa The Great had the goal of making the same quality album as the last one they did a perfect job.

2. Lane - 4.5

x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 a c all over 2 a.

get it? because it's a FORMULA.

4. Mystic Sisters - 4.0

this is the first album i ever decided was a personal 10/10 for me, of COURSE i should write something about it.

i'm by no means a furry, i'm not too into rave culture, and i understand Emma's history as an artist is...spotty, in the nicest terms possible. i've been a pretty decent fan since 2011, around enough to see the cracks in some of the things that they've discussed. amidst all of that, a lot of the music they released at this time and prior could come across as a bit varied. some ... read more

"i can't get you Everything Everything, i've got a coupon for Blancmange".

6. Who Am I - 4.0

the Caprisongs for the Cricket Wireless user.

the track produced by Arca is pretty fkn sick, it makes me wish i was flexible enough to suck my own dick.

anyways umm it's better than a good portion of alt RNB and pop albums that i heard this year but in the TikTok age of pop that isn't saying toooo much, like don't get me wrong this was cool but i feel like this is not as ambitious as it COULD have been.

1. Woe - 4.0
2. Come For Me - 5.0
8. Nike - 5.0

okay i get it, these albums all have the same producer on them, but there's some points where i have to wonder if there are any points where the producer doesn't just loop an old soul sample and then adds a hihat just to give it some punch? i don't wanna diss mr. Craven by any means but i'm just so confused sometimes.

anyways this does as much for me as any of the past 7 albums Boldy James released last month.

that line in reference to 8 Mile on Scrabble made me smirk

1. Straight & Tall ... read more

i had a huge crush on a girl that was also crushin' on me back in 2018 when Sure Sure released their debut self titled. i remember i listened to a few songs and i didn't have the heart to tell her that i thought it was really bland.

thankfully she has a boyfriend now so i don't have to tell her that my opinions on this band have not changed.

3. This Time - 4.5

the album cover describes this whole experience perfectly!

...except you're gulping because it's like you're in the board room and your work buddy is about to do something REALLY dumb during his presentation and you GULP! and think "oh god here we fkn go"

"'cause it's too cold
for you here
And now, so let me hold
both your hands in the holes of my sweater"

it's not exactly like that but gdi does the lead singer sound similar

1. Burn The Empire - 4.5
7. Pigeons In New York - 4.0

the instrumentals which are chill as SHIT are slaughtered by the weird vocal mixing and performances like if this was just an instrumental album this would be EONS ahead of shit.

somehow having a more through-composed trap song makes it even more boring.

this is my first experience listening to Talk Talk! numerous /mu/ chart threads of being bullied for my patrician taste have all coalesced up into this moment annnddddd...

..yeah it's good but i don't know if it's like AMAZING, like the atmosphere is super fucking dope but some of this feels far underbaked and there are CLEARLY standouts vs what isn't a standout so we can file this under "thank fkn god i finally listened to this"

2. Ascension Day - 4.5
5. New Grass - 4.0

i mean, sure, but like, um !

perhaps one of the most underrated jazz albums of all time also happens to be my FAVORITE jazz album of all time. there aren't enough nice things i can say about this album. this album is the classiest shit that any hipster music major piece of shit could love.

any math rock fucker should notice in this album how much Don Ellis fucks with 7/4 and 7/8 time, which is somehow the grooviest shit ever and is also the most moving shit ever. the intro of Whiplash (yes, from the movie, and i'll ... read more

everytime i try to type this album title out i keep on saying Master of Puppers so for that i say rah rah ah ah ah.

this shit is EXCELLENT, it makes me wanna punch a, um, a goat, in the face, with my own face. shirtless. eating splooge. man bazooka juice!!! RAH RAH AH AH AH.

1. Battery - 5.0
2. Master of Puppets - 4.5
4. Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - 4.0
5. Disposable Heroes - 5.0
7. Orion - 4.0

nah man i don't get it, i thought only Fred Durst was allowed to rap over this type of shit.

some of the riffs are cool as shit and the percussion choices are pretty tight but everything else seems a bit too...um, let's seeeee, it, YEAH, it's that. it's just, a liiiiitle bit too melodramatic? which is STUPID but guess what imma double down and say that YES I AM ALSO STUPID.

3. Digital Bath - 4.0

geez, i mean, this date is going GREAT and all, but things have just been going so well with Outrage! Is Now that i think i just might prefer it. don't worry, i'll still pay the bill. are you comfy with me driving you home or should i get an Ub-oh okay, bye.

4. Go Home, Get Down - 4.5
