Alright, I think I'm a Bjork fan now.

After her Debut, she went big, exceeding expectations in sales, and went on to releasing Post a couple years later. This album is accessible as what came before it, but this time experiments with a bigger variety of sounds and is overall a bit darker in tone. We jump between different genre styles like industrial, ambient, and even 50s-styled pop in one case. These sounds are used to support and elevate Bjork's performance which on here is still ... read more

Why haven't I listened to her sooner? This is amazing.

Debut is the... well, debut release from the indie pop artist Bjork. Bjork is an artist I have been meaning to check out for a while and this record is my first impression of her. I must say that I am not disappointed because just off of a single listen this album was a simply beautiful and ethereal experience. The sound is more accessible than what would come out from her later on as we get something dancey, but the beats and ... read more

OH MINE GORD! THIS ALBUM'S A JOJO REFERENCE!!!

Of the many albums that seem to be blowing up this year, this is not album of the year material for me but it is one of the better synthpop albums of the last few years. The tunes of this album are pleasant while embracing just enough 80s cheese to not go overboard. Not much else to say for now other than go check this out if this is your thing.

What he's saying makes no sense but it's extremely cohesive at the same time.

With Apostrophe('), Frank Zappa not only proves himself to be a great jazz musician but also a colorful lyricist with a unique sense of humor. This whole record is a goofy adventure with ridiculous moments such as the Yellow Snow saga with the first few tracks, and some really smooth instrumental passages such as the title track. I would not call this an untouchable masterpiece, but it was a very ... read more

Do ya like jazz?

Yes I do, Mister Zappa. Thank you so much.

Counting Crows? More like Counting Sheep.

I had never heard of Counting Crows before, so I thought this was a decent place to start to get an idea of what their sound was like. That silly little opening statement I wrote is a bit of an exaggeration, but this did not leave a big impression on me. Everyone involved is competent at playing their instruments and the performances are passionate, but aside from the Shrek song at the end all the songs just sort of blended in for me. I might need to ... read more

This is currently my album of the year.

Post Human: Nex Gen is the next installment of the four-album series, and it is the first full release from BMTH in the last four years. It is difficult to pinpoint what took so long from Jordan Fish leaving the band to the original official release date being pushed back due to needing to work out some kinks. Whatever the case, whether or not it is worth it is up for debate, but I am glad it is out now because what we have is truly amazing. Nex Gen ... read more

The fact that this unintentionally lined up with quarantine makes this so much better.

Post Human: Survival Horror BMTH's most current EP and was intended to be the first in a series of four with some loosely connected story tied to them. Obviously, we did not get the rest as planned and now they will be giving us the rest in album form, but what have is a great entry in this series. I will not be getting into the lore that is contained within these projects, but I will say that the ... read more

Despite disappearing for a while, they sound nearly as great as they did on their debut.

After 8 years of not releasing any new albums, they finally came out with Every Bridge Burning just a few days ago. Even after being inactive during that time, in no way does it sound like they went out of practice. What we did end up with is some of the best material we got in their whole career. It is a perfect continuation from their previous record as every song on here is catchier than ever while also ... read more

It's about as pretentious as the long ass title makes it look to be.

Music to listen to~ is a 75 minute long... EP that released the same year as Amo and almost kind of serves as a companion piece to it. It uses some of the sounds we hear in that record and uses them to create something much more avante garde and out there. With the length of this thing divided into just 8 tracks, the record demands your attention with its variety of ideas and willingness to test the limits to see how far ... read more

I like it for what it is, but I still get conflicted when I listen to it.

For BMTH's sixth studio release, they got the most pop they have ever been with Amo. Rather than approaching it in a way that feels like they are selling out, they instead throw at us something vividly colorful and experimental. The simplest way I can describe it is that this album is a roller coaster with the band seemingly switching between different styles after every song. From one moment you get a rock track ... read more

It's still good, but it's easy to tell that they were just about done on here.

Strangeways is The Smiths' fourth and final studio album, releasing after the group already split. I will not get into the whole mess of details that was their breakup, but as a result we get a good Smiths record, albeit with their weakest one. There are a couple of very strong moments, but it is accompanied by moments of their goofiest writing or Morrissey attempting to do low pitched vocals but it ... read more

I've come to accept that this album is actually great.

After delivering a unique flavor of metalcore with Sempiternal, BMTH changes it up once again by making a poppier alt-rock album with That's The Spirit. At first, like with many other fans, this threw me off as it was their first record to truly divert away from the metal sound they were originally known for. While they now lack that hardcore edge from before, they make up for in delivering some of their most catchiest anthems to ... read more

She sure is.

I do not really have much to say here other than that it is really good. All of the best parts of The Smiths come together and create the best album in their discography. It is a shame they disbanded soon after this.

Only thing stopping me from giving this a 100 is the fact that the internet kinda ruined Can You Feel My Heart for me.

Sempiternal is one of my favorite albums ever for very biased reasons, and I am going to try to build something close to a case as to why my score is justified. Firstly, I would like to share how I came across this album and what it means to me. A very dear friend of mine years ago introduced this band called Bring Me The Horizon that had all of these different sounds in their ... read more

The lyrics are good, just ignore the fact that Morrissey wrote them.

Meat Is Murder is the second studio album by The Smiths and it seems to have a polarizing reception in the context of today. Regardless of what you think of Morrissey in terms of his views and personality, this record I think stands as a good evolution from their sound before. Some tracks may not stand the best on their own or might run too long, but this is the most focused in terms of being cohesive rather than being a set ... read more

Suicide Season walked so this album could run.

There Is A Hell was the first BMTH album to fully delve into a metalcore sound and what we get is simply magical. Like with typical metalcore, we get harsh vocal deliveries and spicy breakdowns, but what makes this stand out from the rest is the more melodic elements. This record probably has one of the finest balances between different sounds on a metal record I have heard from the abrasive sounds mentioned already, some clean instrumental ... read more

It's a compilation album, but it's what the debut should've been.

Hatful of Hollow being released the same year as their first record, served as a companion piece to it and containing all of their material up to that point so far. What we ended up with, though, is essentially a stronger version of that album entirely. It has some songs from there being altered slightly for this release and some singles that did not make it onto an album entirely, a few of those being some of ... read more

Bring Me The Horizon figures out how to write good songs.

With BMTH's second studio album Suicide Season, they try to slowly move away from their original deathcore sound into a more metalcore sound. That on paper sounds like a small thing, but here it makes a big difference in almost all of their departments. They still keep that hardcore edginess they had from before, which can sound outdated and cringy in a couple of places, but with the metalcore elements being thrown in there they ... read more

I was gonna give this an 80, but Hatful of Hollow cemented this as being inferior to me.

That being said, The Smiths' self-titled debut contains a lot of things to like. With Morrissey's shivery, ethereal vocals to the lush‐sounding instrumentals, this is perhaps one of the best uses of the "80s sound" I have heard. All of the elements mentioned here bring a certain trippy feeling that is easy to dissociate to. Even if the tracklist could be a bit stronger, what is here ... read more
