88

I mean, there's nothing else I can really say. It's still a great album.

Nirvana - Bleach
61

This record did not hold up well for me, aside from a few good explosive moments I got kind of tired of it.

Highlights: Love Buzz, Negative Creep, Mr Moustache

St. Vincent - Broken Man
80

After Daddy's Home, which I thought was a snoozefest (sorry), this has me excited for some St. Vincent again.

Allie X - Girl With No Face
79

Came for the synth bass, stayed for Allie X. Never heard of her before, but it's clear she has a great voice, and a knack for catchy songwriting. The album is very 80s synth pop with a goth flavor, and it all does sound very familiar which could be a bad thing if the songs weren't as solid as they are. Don't know how intentional it was, but some of the verse vocals on Off With Her Tits were very reminiscent of Don't Go by Yazoo, which kind of won me over. Even the songs that didn't immediately ... read more

MGMT - Loss of Life
62

I've had a hard time truly getting into MGMT's albums for whatever reason, and that's still the case here. It starts really strong with the intro into Mother Nature, and then doesn't quite hit that peak again. My biggest gripe might be the drum mixing / production on many of the tracks.

Highlights: Mother Nature*, Bubblegum Dog, Phradie's Song

Jacob 2-2 - Herbivore
78

Recommended by @Krolljr - I've never heard of Jacob 2-2 before, so I went into this pretty blind. The production on this is fantastic, full of details and vibrant sounds and samples. Kind of glitchy and choppy, and some of the tracks are bit more ambient leaning. The synth work is great, and at times reminds me of Ford & Lopatin. The songs at the core of the great production are honestly a little forgettable and the whole thing blends together, but certainly still an exciting listen. I ... read more

DIIV - Brown Paper Bag
83

DIIV type beat

The Voidz - All The Same
70

I do like it, it's just mixed pretty badly

48

I dont know man. Attempting to ignore Dr Luke's presence on this. I've listened to this once and one time only, and during that time, I fucking uncontrollably laughed, like a lot. You can't tell me Get Fucked and Rim Job aren't atleast a little bit funny?? There was a brief window where this album was entertaining as fuck by the end it was a little exhausting, but I haven't really laughed like that in a while. Thanks Kim.

Highlights: Get Fucked, Rim Job

Omni - Souvenir
78

There's quite a bit of pretty drab post-punk out there, and Omni does a good job of keeping things light and bouncy. It's a little homogenous as it goes on, but good tight guitar work keeps it moving nicely.

Highlights: Exacto, Plastic Pyramid*, PG, Compliment

Vampire Weekend - Capricorn / Gen-X Cops
90

Hearing those piano arpeggios in Capricorn made me feel like the last decade was a dream

42

😪 😴

Omni - Plastic Pyramid
86

Earworm of a song, I cannot get the chorus out of my head

Oneohtrix Point Never / Daniel Lopatin - Oneohtrix Point Never - Scores
70

Wtf OPN and Daniel Lopatin collab??? 2024 is crazy so far

Godcaster - Long Haired Locusts
83

Garage funk / art punk, I don't really know what to call it, but this band is fun as fuck. A high energy, strange album that's as catchy as it is unhinged. Sometimes the band brings too much to the table and it gets a little clunky and unwieldy, but they usually manage to hone it all in.

Highlights: Even Your Blood Is Electric, Dirtbike Bike (Vaccine Girl), Don't Make Stevie Wonder*, Escape From the Challenger Deep, All The Feral Girls in the Universe, Bingo Bodies / Long Haired Locusts

Audioslave - Audioslave
61

I'd call Audioslave my first favorite band as a kid, the first rock band I felt like I discovered on my own along with Incubus, after my stint as a diehard A*TEENS and Hoku fan (I was a Radio Disney child).

I have not listened to this album in probably 15+ years, and if you mentioned Audioslave to me now I would probably laugh - I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. The first half is probably better than the second, and theres plenty of snoozers. I don't think any of it I'd put into ... read more

NewDad - MADRA
73

It's not exactly fresh or exciting, but it's a solid and endlessly listenable dream pop album.

Highlights: Change My Mind, Let Go*, Nosebleed

Death Grips - Year of the Snitch
68

Always been my least favorite DG album. Sounds like they uploaded the masters to YouTube, ripped them using a youtube-to-mp3 converter, and re-downloaded them through Limewire. Contains some of their best and worst material. I'm perpetually confused how anyone can listen to Hahaha - lyrically kind of funny but by far the most shit instrumental they have ever put out. The hi-hats on Streaky sound like little knives thrown into my ears.

Highlights: Death Grips Is Online*, Flies, Black Paint, ... read more

On Muse - Cryogen
"@TheContract12 why does autotune and simplicity have to equate to a lower score? Maybe in this case, I prefer the simplistic, lighter sound of that song versus the production on this one. And let's not pretend this is some complex peice of work or Muse's best. I was a much bigger Muse fan back in the day compared to The Strokes, so I have alot stronger opinions on what Muse does compared to The Strokes. Let's not do that thing where you look at someone's scores and go "you rated 'A' this so your opinion about 'B' is invalid". Its okay if we have different tastes."
