One of the true OGs of the melodic bass sound, and he's still got it a decade later. Fun listen from start to finish, although I feel like adding a 'disc 2' with only a single instrumental track on it is a bit of a weird choice.

Really nice ambient sounds. Threw me a little off guard with the last track but otherwise had a nice calming experience with this

Caster always manages to hit a sweet-spot for me, and Sorcerer's Symphony is no different. The dark, brooding, and orchestral atmosphere on these tracks are able to tie an otherwise sporadic EP together really well. One of my favorite up-and-comers in the EDM world and am excited to see what he comes up with next!

Neat

Enterprise Earth continue to pull me further into the Deathcore sphere with every new album I check out. Everything about this RIPS (especially the guitarwork) and it's definitely one I can feel myself coming back to when I'm feeling like dipping my toes in the genre some more.

Honestly might be the most diverse EDM album I've heard in years. No 2 songs sound alike and it really makes for a fun listening experience despite some iffy tracks between the bops.

While I'm still not sure if I am truly a fan of Kirin, I can certainly say I was entertained for the entirety of this album. The right mix of catchiness and absurdity.

Top 20 AOTY - #19 - How To Disappear by Casey (Post-hardcore)

TL:DR - This album is the audial equivalent of taking a depression nap inside a raincloud. It is as poetic and beautiful as it is visceral and heartbreaking.

In a complete contrast to yesterday's album, today we have one of the most beautifully depressing records I have had the pleasure of listening to this year.

This album ironically starts with the lyric "It's difficult to describe the machinations of my ... read more

Man what a JAM this was. 45 minutes of a flawless radio station playing bop after bop that had me hooked from start to finish.

Best I've heard from this band to date (which granted isn't a lot outside of bo2 zombies). Perfect vibe for a cold day in January like today.

One of the best live performances I've ever heard.

The freshest version of melodic bass I've heard in years. The genre's gotten a little stale for me in recent years but if there's someone I can trust to always mix it up it's definitely Au5.

Favorites: Entrance, Bridges, Before You Leave, Future Without You

Had no idea who these guys were but the album artwork and name drew me in. Really happy I decided to give it a listen, top tier atmospheric indie vibe. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this band in the future.

This album is really polarizing for me. Songs 3AM and ITIAD are absolute jams but songs like Way Back feel kinda out of place with the vibe of the rest of the album.
