Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
95

Quadeca is so damn good it genuinely scares me, and usually I am not even into this type of music

Blur - Blur
85

Blur's not only getting meanier and rocks harder but lives up to its name too, it sounds blurry, hazy, dense. Psychedelic elements and some rock is the way to win me over.

SENTRIES - Gem of The West (Disk 2)
80

As good as the album itself

Squid - Lino
70

Interesting part of their discography, it kinda reminds me of "All The Witches"

Squid - Bright Green Field
91

Squid is such "on the point" kind of name. Alien sounding band actually using familiar sounds, almost like they are not men but those exact Squids in disguise. Bright Green Field is really an experience, an album that throught every track feels like an exploration, deeper and deeper dive, eerie and oddly comforting. Full of stuff that makes you both confused and fascinated, so you want to see more and more. Its kind of a listen that just stays with you..

Tame Impala - End Of Summer
60

I think Kevin can do better than a straight up summer festival music, but its still kinda fun I guess. Not bad at all, its just forgettable

Stereolab - Peng!
70

Lingering guitars, soft vocals and dreamy-pillowy music seasoned with some noise and backing effects. For a band that is looking for their sound its a solid debut. It doesnt end up as "just another shoegaze", there's simply a spark of personality

Stereolab - Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements
90

I think Im getting in love with this record, yup. Its a bait good enough to make me want to go throught their work

Autechre - Confield
72

Its like, you are stuck in the town full of abstract white coloured architecture. Jazz for people who love spearmint tea and like watching digital numbers do their little "bee-ba-bop" sounds. Im surprised how interesting it is for an hour of pure experiment. Im not going back to it, but I do not regret this listen even a little bit.

Gorillaz - The Fall
50

I'll just bring up the only joke about this album everyone have told already, Its title is fitting, Ironic. And thats probably the only thing that will pop up in the head of average someone who just got reminded of this LP's existence. No wonder, Paint drying, Staring at the wall, whatever you call it, its just boring. It feels like collection of scraps, unfinished ideas, B-sides from Plastic Beach. And it sounds kinda similar, but without those exciting elements + laidback attitude ... read more

Gospel - The Moon Is a Dead World
80

I don't think genres like "Screamo" are often dressed up in such an epic and progressive aestetics. And it sounds way better than its meant to. Crazy record, though I find "background" placed vocals as lacking for something that sounds so alive. But whatever, worth the hype and score

The Streets - Original Pirate Material
70

Original Pirate Material might be the most British-streets sounding thing I have experienced yet, If I didnt remembered Guy Ritchie's movies like "Snatch", I would have been ready to believe that some of the tracks were used probably in bar scenes or with characters getting high. Exactly that. While production and instrumental part is a chef's kiss, brilliant even, vocals honestly feel off. I wouldn't bother if not LP's sound, constant spoken word goes bit too far ... read more

Venetian Snares - Songs About My Cats
45

Well, stepping out of my comfort zone ended up not that well this time, its waayyyy too chaotic and abstract, experimental to the point that Its just stripped down from any enjoyment. I respect the effort and on the positive side it had some interesting or even cool moments. Also I love the cover.. and cats

Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes
35

If dry piece of bread was a music

Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer
65

Decent, there's a spark of something more, its catchy and way better than some messy records of this era, deffinitely Sabbath's best since "Mob Rules"

BATS - Red in Tooth & Claw
90

Its probably a silly comprassion but I can't help it anyway, it reminds me of "Late of The Pier" - "Fantasy Black Channel" but if it was a hardcore math rock album instead. It kind of sounds like that, ridicuolusly catchy for its genres, probably one and only in its sound. I dont think its trying to be a mature record too, "BATS Spelled Backwards is STAB" is an example of a song that just proves that. And I believe its a good thing, with that attidute they ... read more

After - After EP
87

Literally peak, no EP ever left me so excited for the future of the band, a duo actually. I feel crazy for ignoring its existance ealier

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - Death Hilarious
66

Its alright, kinda tends to drag itself without any interesting ideas, but I guess thats the cost of making a stoner-sludge mix when almost all of fun parts are stuffed in the middle of the albhm
