Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee
90

Mind blowing song writing to keep this thing slapping all the way thru

Periphery - A Pale White Dot
49

A lot of the metal instrumentals are enjoyable but as per usual with this band there are two main issues with this project:

1. Every attempt at genre bend, any song or texture that strays from their Djent sound ranges from either cringe and rancid to boring and empty

2. Their vocalist is cringe, writes horrible, tasteless melodies that don't fit with the instrumentals at all, and ruins everything the band might have going for them

Pool Kids - Pool Kids
59

Super overrated. This should be an EP with half the current track list max. Some cool songs, but tons of half baked, uninteresting filler as well. Lyrics arent great either, nor is the front-woman’s choice of phrasing and melody

Natalia Lafourcade - Hasta la raíz
79

This is just too fucking wholesome a sound to discover from her as someone who's coming from her recent projects. Puts a smile on my face for sure.

NEGATIVE XP - Mkultra Support Group, Vol. 1
2

"i still have no idea why people have a problem with the scott pilgrim song the message isn't even bad dont be a whore and a druggie like dawg is that a bad thing to say😭" - Is this guy retarded?

"blah blah the message is bad or something, who cares the music is good." - Is this guy retarded too?

The entire aesthetic of this project sucks fucking ass. Its so whiney, trashy, and unoriginal in every way. Music that succeeds with this type of aesthetic finds a way ... read more

Immolation - Descent
79

Very good, just suffers from "one-noted" syndrome that a lot of the genre struggles to break out of

Porter Robinson - Nurture
60

I've tried for so long to like this thing and I bores the shit out of me every time. I'm generally able to get why albums I specifically don't love are loved, but this one feels like slop to me

Slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA
70

89 --> 72

This thing is shrinking on me heavy. Album sounds great, has some bangers, but overall I just can't help but feel that the songwriting doesn't hold under relistens.

American Football - American Football
85

I'm seeing criticisms of the lyrics. Wasn't paying too much attention to them, but guys they knocked this one out of the park come on? This thing sounds fucking fantastic. The production and attention to detail in these songs is just so rewarding.

Entombed - Wolverine Blues
88

Hello? Entombed? Where've you been all my life? Seriously how the fuck does this album sound SOOOOOO GOOOOD.... I don't think I listened to a remaster???? This shit is so ahead of its time, and it fucks so goddamn hard.

Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising
84

This is as enchanting as every overwhelmingly positive review promises, however I can't help but feel the tone is a bit one-noted. Maybe Ill discover more nuance upon relistens.

東京酒吐座 [Tokyo Shoegazer] - Remains
60

wha....? Super overrated what is this user score

RAYE - THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
40

OK guys, what are we doing. I unfortunately saw what fantano scored this before I got around to listening, which completely pissed me off because I knew 1. it would influence me and 2. Fantano usually tends to validate my hotter takes, and so 3. i would probably end up agreeing and then feel like a simp. And jesus 3 came true, but guys this album obviously sucks and I'm shocked at its rating.
I have to respect the ambition, but there is no substance and the execution of this entire ... read more

Bill Callahan - My Days of 58
92

Usually, music of this pace is more a challenge for me. Overtime I've certainly improved my stamina, but still. This album, however, is just so enjoyable through and through. Beautiful, light but dense instrumentation. Moving, straightforward, relatable messages. Just so so nice.l

underscores - U
75

Pretty fun but man was i expecting something more artsy and cohesive after that KILLER last record

Mitski - Nothing's About to Happen to Me
80

This is my first fully conscious experience with a Mitski album and I'm pleasantly surprised. I expected something much closer to mid.

Converge - Jane Doe
100

The Greatest Metal Album of All Time. In a massive genre filled with masterpieces, Jane Doe is the singularity for Metal: its beginning and end, past and future. The epitome of metalcore. Nothing sounds like this, nothing feels like this, nothing does metal as metal as Jane Doe. Perfecting and enhancing what the genre aims to do at the most primal, rudimentary, rip-out-your-ex's-vocal-chords level, while tackling their songwriting and production with mind-blowing levels of finesse, class, ... read more

"Dude ive been following ur channel for around two years, im guunna start replying to you here to get you to do a reaction video to Meta by Car Bomb. This band is so fucking unique and progressive with their metal and they need more exposure. Their music is so unique i was really disappointed to realize that none of the music reaction channels have done reactions to them, because it be so entertaining to watch.Consider it if u see this :)"
