Perfume Genius - Glory
79

Outstanding instrumentation.

Geese - Getting Killed
85

The lyrics on this are incredible, the title coming from one of my fav lines: "I'm getting killed by a pretty good life"

Favs: Getting Killed, Bow Down

Racing Mount Pleasant - Racing Mount Pleasant
80

Damn, can't believe BCNR came out with another album so quickly! It's an album with such nostalgic feelings, I had a great time soaking it in.

Nine Inch Nails - TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
80

I've never had a movie I've wanted to see less (Jared Leto's stupid everything), with a soundtrack so good. I want the movie to do well just so we get more kickass Tron soundtracks.

Christian & The Hedgehog Boys - Christian and the Hedgehog Boys COMEBACK!
NR

As an album- this is a strong zero, but as insight into a disturbed man's mind, this is interesting. What would compel a person to do this? It's more of an artifact than an album proper- and so, as such, I will leave this unrated.
For some reason I felt emotions during Feel Our Love At Play. It's a testament to a great original song, and to the legacy of destruction and hurt Christine has left behind them, here still ahead of them whilst singing.
May God have mercy on your soul ... read more

Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
82

Reminds me of similarly themed nautical albums: Since I Met You and Plastic Beach. This might grow on me, what an atmosphere, great production.

Hesse Kassel - La Brea
NR

A Latur and Yo La Tengo are the best songs Swans never wrote.

Maruja - Pain to Power
92

Will probably go up.

Favs: Look Down On Us, Reconcile

Kayo Dot - Every Rock, Every Half-Truth Under Reason
80

I had a fantastic time with this. It's very long, but if you let the songs in, they'll hypnotize and put you under a spell.

Favs: Oracle by Severed Head, Blind Creature of Slime

Phil Elverum - GIANT OPENING MOUTH ON THE GROUND
70

It is what it is and I like it. I liked when the clarinet went BWAAA and the subwoofer went _______.

The New Eves - The New Eve Is Rising
80

Experimental, pastoral, folky, noisy, punk. Lots of violin. I had great fun, very 70s, lots of Velvet Underground, shouty poetic female vocals give me Patti Smith too.

Favs: The New Eves, Cow Song, Astrolabe, Circles, Mary, Volcano

Thom Yorke - ANIMA
87

Easily Thom's best solo effort.

mercury - Together We Are One, You And I
90

these guys are gonna destroy us with the debut album.

Favs: All

Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong
80

I'm sorry I badmouthed you BCNR, I didn't listen to this cause I wasn't vibing the direction you were going. A song played on Spotify and I enjoyed it without knowing it was you.
Goddamnit I said.
Then I was anxious and needed an album to give me a hug and you were there for me. This album gives good hugs.

Favs: Happy Birthday, For the Cold Country, Nancy Tries to Take the Night

John Michel - Egotrip
NR

Y'all can't be releasing with this album cover so close to swans, I almost died

Blonde Redhead - 23
93

Dude am I the only one that sees this as a fucking masterpiece, get on this y'all

Adrianne Lenker - abysskiss

Fav: Terminal Paradise

C418 - Minecraft - Volume Alpha
