Oxxxymiron: Часть 1

В конце 00-х и начале 10-х в русском рэпе начали появляться нормальные тексты. Два источника топовых текстов в эту эпоху, а именно Нойза и Макулатуру я уже разбирал. Настала пора, вполне возможно важнейшего текстовика в истории ру рэпа.

Альбом охуенный, если вы ... read more

Swans - Love of Life

Swans Re-review: Pt. 7

I like how the album starts, and I really like how it ends, but I don't care about almost anything in between. It has some nice moments here and there, but overall, it's just decent. Feels like a less creative version of White Light.

Макулатура: Часть 11

Очень скучный альбом, все эксперименты мимо, только в Нигде у Алёхина топовый куплет, но припев всё рушит.

Swans - White Light from the Mouth of Infinity
72

Swans Re-review: Pt. 6

First things first, I've listened to the remastered version because it's the one that is on Spotify, and Blind is too good to ignore; it's like a 9/10. Also, a couple of songs are a bit shorter, and Why Are We Alive is a bit longer on the reissue.

Unexpectedly enough, I liked this album; it has grown on me (65=>72). It's probably their best that far.

This is their most upbeat and bright album so far. A lot of the tracks, including the closer, sound kinda ... read more

Макулатура: Часть 10

Нормальный, слушабельный альбом. Макулатура стала лучше попадать в бит и это... плохо? Да, это плохо. Во первых, нет того приятного похуизма в отношении рэпа, а во вторых, это могло стать причиной более избитого выражения мыслей.

Макулатура: Часть 9

Очередной невпечатляющий альбом от Макулатуры. Звук в очередной раз поменялся, но эту его инкарнацию я бы назвал самой слабой.

В сравнении с утопией, в этом альбоме они максимально несерьёзные. И этот похуизм меня очень расстраивает.

Куплет ... read more

ночные грузчики - о, человек
82

Очень хороший альбом. Он идеально рисует всю картину мира в глазах Алёхина и Енотова, описание которой они кладут на очень самобытные и интересные иструменталы.

Особенно в инструменталах выделяются нойзовые элементы и барабаны. Что в розовых очках, что в тоске атома, что ... read more

59

Макулатура: Часть 8

Мало альбомов, на которые мне настолько же плевать как на этот. Опять новое звучание, но припевы звучат встать почти всегда. Местами вызывает вьетнмаские флэшбеки своей похожестью на взгляд на 2000 ярдов. Такой себе альбом короче, я разочарован.

Slint - Spiderland
81

From now on, I decided to not only go through artists' discographies but also to review some albums I just wanna check out. I gotta say, this one was worth it.

This album is Kid A-level inconsistent. It has genius pieces of music like "Good Morning, Captain" after really mid songs like "For Dinner...". Anyway, I'll just go song by song and discuss them.

Breadcrumb Trail is a very good opener. It manages to hide a quite cute story behind its really abrasive sound. On the ... read more

Макулатура: Часть 7

Очень странный и нетипичный для Макулатуры альбом. Интересно заметить, что у каждого их альбома абсолютно своя стилистика инструменталов. Её сложно объяснить словами, но как только я назову какой-то их альбом, вы сразу можете вспомнить как он звучит, и ... read more

Kanye West - Yeezus
88

Kanye West: Pt. 7

Fantano may have never been more wrong.

This was the first Kanye album I've ever heard. And, at least so far, it's the best. Not even close for me. It's the first album that has 100/100 songs, even 3 of them.

It starts with On Sight, which is an amazing statement. The lines "Yeezy season approaching. Fuck whatever y'all be hearing, fuck whatever y'all be wearing" are the perfect start for such a revolutionary album. The gospel part breaking in out of nowhere is ... read more

JAY-Z & Kanye West - Watch the Throne
67

Kanye West: Pt. 6

The album is quite the definition of alright for me. I don't regret I've listened to it, but I can't say I wanna do it again.

One thing I gotta mention is how smooth the transitions are. They're surprising throughout the whole record.

Anyway, it's a decent album that has some impressive moments, like Kanye's verse on Murder to Excellence or Jay's verse on New Day.

макулатура [makulatura] - сеанс
84

Макулатура: Часть 6

Очень хороший альбом. По сути, пляж на стероидах.

Интересно, что в этом альбоме хайлайтами являются припевы, что абсолютно ново для Макулатуры. Достаточно вспомнить гениальные припевы ни ночи ни дня, сингулярности, и как любят покойники. Раньше ... read more

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
70

Kanye West: Pt. 5

This album is ambitious, experimental, grand and, kinda good. I mean, I probably expected way too much from it, but I thought it would be better.

I respect how weird this album is, but I think Kanye has overdone it a bit. The chronometrage of the songs is often ridiculous. The fact that he sampled King Crimson doesn't mean he should make 9 minute songs now. Runaway is good, though.

Power is great, All of The Lights is amazing, the other songs fall somewhere between good ... read more

Макулатура: Часть 5

Самый пиздострадальческий и соответственно самый коммерчески успешный альбом Макулатуры. Начав работать с Феликсом, Макулатура хоть и стала профессиональнее, но на мой взгляд менее интересной.

По сути, все песни на этом альбоме хорошие, у Алёхина и ... read more

Макулатура: Часть 4

Очередной очень неплохой альбом от Макулатуры. Я бы не сравнивал его с первыми двумя, но в сравнении с осенью он очевидно выигрывает.

В первой половине альбома все песни хорошие, в то время как во второй есть парочка слабых песен, но это с лихвой ... read more

Макулатура: Часть 3

Короче, альбом хороший, но даунгрейд с прошлого очевиден. Хочу отметить, что музыка на всех ранних релизах Макулатуры очень разная, но везде по своему крутая. Но здесь пожалуй впервые была песня, в которой музыка смогла затмить текст. Гениальное пианино ... read more

Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak
60

Kanye West: Pt. 4

I don't like this album. Actually, the right thing to say would be that I don't like the second half. I know it's an extremely influential release, but listening to it in 2023 is just boring.

The first half was good, the second half was really mid. And, the decision to put this weird freestyle at the end is very weird.

Overall it's not a bad album, but it's really overrated.

Swans - Children of God
71

Swans Re-review: Pt. 5

Finally! It took me so long to actually like any album they made (68=>71).

This album is exhausting to the point that, despite having something to say about it, I find it hard to write this review because of how tired I am after it.

Anyway, finally Swans made something more meaningful than just a bunch of songs that sound the same. This album is actually very diverse. It has some classic early-Swans sounding songs like New Mind, has some sweet ballads with ... read more

Макулатура: Часть 2

Я слушал этот альбом от и до уже раз 10, и каждый раз меня поражает какая-то другая песня. Сначала Зощенко и Кафка, потом Г Москва, а в этот раз мне особенно приглянулся Никто и Справка. Когда я слушаю Зощенко сейчас, несмотря на шедевральность этой песни, я ... read more

I also believe, that the IDF are trying to kill as few innocent victims as possible, since their goal is to fight Hamas, not the people.

"@rices You didn't really answer anything; you just said, "Supporting death is not right." Of course, I'd rather people not dying, but it's a war. People in Israel also die because of it; the fact that Hamas is weaker is not our problem. Hamas uses people like human shields basically, holding them like hostages. The death of people in Gaza is on Hamas's hands, not ours."

On Macklemore - HIND'S HALL
"@rices I'm not sure, but from what I see on Everett's page, he's probably from Great Britain. Also, about the bias: I may have lived in Israel for the last 8 years, but I was born and lived half of my life in Russia, which doesn't stop me from fully supporting Ukraine, despite having a strong connection to Russia and its culture. So I wasn't biased in that case, which may show that I'm not too biased here either."
On Macklemore - HIND'S HALL
"@rices You referred to Netanyahu helping Hamas gain power like 3 times, which really means nothing, since I'm not defending him, I'm defending a country, and Netanyahu can't make the decisions like attacking Gaza singlehandedly. Also, Hamas wouldn't gain any power and win the elections if the people living in Gaza wanted peace, because they had peace, they wanted wars and attacks. So that's what we gave them. You should save Gaza from Hamas, but it seems like the people in Gaza don't want to be saved, which is really sad."
