I can’t connect with this record. I’m a raging virgin
Edit: I did the Dougie to this record and it clicked
You ever hear Weird Al sing this? On his 2011 record, Alpocalypse, he includes a classic Polka medley of several hit songs throughout the past few years, which is commonplace in Weird Al records. This time, he includes the song "Replay," by Iyaz, and when I heard Weird Al sing "Shawty like a melody in my head," I knew we reached the peak of humanity. There is no going up, only down.
Remember when this dude collaborated with Cherdleys?
So this is Oliver Tree's debut record, Ugly is Beautiful, and I guess it's not all that new, knowing that apparently this record has been just sitting around for three years, and the release of this record was constantly delayed by Oliver's record label until he was "famous," enough to release it. Instead, his label made him drop EP's and countless singles instead, and constantly trying to push "Alien Boy." This just ... read more
This that real K-pop! None of that BTS bullcrap! This is where it's at, folks!
Crumbling by Mid-Air Thief is yet another record that I've known about and loved for a while, but have neglected to publish my thoughts on. If I'm being honest, even though I really like this record, Crumbling isn't an album I listen to that often. It's very lush and wonderful in it's production, and it's something that I can really only enjoy every once in a while. It's very progressive in it's sound as well, ... read more
Mr. President, where did it all start?
I finally decided to do a Kanye West discography dive, since now is a good of a time as ever. Kanye West has recently stated that he is running for President of the United States (while typing this out, I read that he claims he dropped out), which of course got him a lot of publicity, positive and negative. Politics aside, with this news, Kanye West is in the public eye more than ever, and I thought it would be the perfect time to finally go through his ... read more
Freddie Gibbs has slowly but surely become a rapper that I would love to do a discography binge for
A year ago I listened to Bandana, my first ever Freddie Gibbs project. At the time, it didn't click with me at all, and I was left very underwhelmed. After repeated listens, something really clicked and I soon started to love it, and I will soon re-evaluate my score of it, which was once a 60. In the meantime, I leave you with this review for Alfredo, a project that I quite liked right off ... read more
I need to listen to the whole Beatles discography again
Rubber Soul is overall just a very pleasant listen. It isn't mind-blowing like Revolver or Sgt. Peppers, but it isn't as playful as albums like Please Please me and A Hard Days Night. Rubber Soul is just very mature and grounded in sound, and introduces a much more folky sound to the Beatles. It's just a very nice record to put on and just calm down to. A year ago, my choir class took a school field trip to Florida, and the bus ride ... read more
Haha get pwned by TPAB, noob, you just got pwned epic style haha lmfao XD XD XD
OK Computer is one of those records that I know is going to grow on me with time. With everything going on in the world, these themes about politics and addiction to technology is more relevant than ever, especially with tracks like "Paranoid Android," "Electioneering," and "No Surprises." That alone makes it hit harder than it would have. With the themes aside, the sound of OK ... read more
I've been sitting on reviewing this record for a good couple of years now, and I don't really know why. That's the same for a lot of album's I've listened to, so keep watch of those.
Imperial is something special. Not only is it just a very good record overall, but it put Denzel Curry on the map. Denzel is one of the best rappers out right now, and if it wasn't for Imperial, not only would we not have Denzel Curry, but a lot of the loud and bombastic Miami scene would be more ignored. ... read more
Screw Jimmy Fallon for taking down the live performance of "DISTRICT,"
So iridescence is a very different sound for BROCKHAMPTON. This record is a much darker and raw sounding record than the Saturation trilogy. I get why people don't really like this sound because people know BROCKHAMPTON for their bombastic, energized, fun sound that was found on the Saturation trilogy, but none of that is really here. At the time of recording this record, the band wasn't doing to hot, mainly ... read more
This is a certified hood classic
Pink Season has stuck with me ever since it came out. The edgy humor, the off-the-walls production and the boundary pushing lyrics really hit a note with me that no other album really did. I can safely say that after a relisten a lot of the humor hasn't aged all too well, and even made me cringe at times, but it's what this album represents more than anything for me. Pink Season really is the pinnacle of 2010's internet humor in music form, and I feel like a ... read more
[Album of the Day Challenge: Day 10]
Now THIS is comedy!
I'm a sucker for a good mashup or two. I'll catch myself marathoning various mashups for hours on end on YouTube. So when I found out that one of the records in this challenge was a mashup compilation, I got excited for this project in specific. Overall, these are some very solid and funny mashups! Some of these sound legitimately really good as remixes, especially the "HOTTIE," mashup, but that also might be my ... read more
[Album of the Day Challenge: Day 9]
From what ambient music I have heard, I think it's pretty good, and this record is no exception. Motha's latest record, the sky is quite pretty today, is a fine showcase of light and dark ambient music, with a little bit of twinkly electronic production and noise sprinkled throughout. It all adds up to a very calming experience. For me, this isn't something I pay my full attention to, rather, just like other ambient music I listen to, it falls in the ... read more
[Album of the Day Challenge: Day #8]
I listened to this record yesterday and was supposed to write a review for it, but I just became very conflicted and confused with this album, and I had to give it a couple more listens. I think I finally have an opinion on Circles.
I'll say this first. A while ago, some of us in Flex Entertainment wanted a bit more musical variety in the label, so we got Amazing Blizzard to join us. I can't remember what exactly I listened to from him but I could tell ... read more
Album of the Day #7
I was supposed to listen to and review this yesterday but I was playing Minecraft all day and completely forgot. The crazy things Minecraft will do to you...
Anyways, Recordings From the Monster's Closet is a very fun, yet short project, only clocking in at six minutes and two tracks. The two tracks that are featured on here kick ass though, and make for a fun, energetic noise rock experience. My only two real critiques are that I wish the project was a bit longer, so I ... read more
Album of the Day #6
Now this project is a nice change of pace. In the midst of all these brilliantly written/produced underground pieces of art is this EP, titled HOLY CRAP MY ROOM IS ON FIRE. I feel before I go in on this EP I should note something...
Lil Karat Stixx is a member of Flex Entertainment, and I own Flex Entertainment. Unlike most artists on this list, this kid plays by MY rules...
This EP made me laugh a few times. Ok, I really ended up kinda liking this project. It's very ... read more
Brad says it best when he says that this is a victory lap
Brockhampton couldn't make a better trilogy closer than Saturation III. Not only is this final record the most celebratory in tone, it's the most versatile and creative record up to this point. Overall the record feels a lot more melodic than the other records, especially on the latter half of the album. It's not my favorite style from them, but it's a sound that works well for Brockhampton, and its a sound that they continued into ... read more
Album Of The Day #3
Ryan Benis shows a lot of energy, charisma, and creativity with the Goof EP. All around it's a very unique and exciting little project, featuring some really nice production and presence. I love the youthful energy that Goof brings. Lyrically, the EP dives into topics about mental health, Autism, and sexuality, which does hit deep for me at least. There are a couple of drawbacks to Goof, though. I wasn't a big fan of the delivery and flow throughout the entirety of the ... read more
Album of the Day #2
I'm a sucker for some good instrumental lo-fi, and unceasing_dismay is just that. Bvrtxk has done something really special here. This EP isn't much, it's minimal in it's sound, but it uses that to it's fullest potential to create a very full, dark and dreary atmosphere. The plunderphonics used throughout the EP just make the experience just a bit more unsettling. unceasing_dismay is right up my alley, but what blows my mind even more is that this was made by one of my ... read more
