Pinned Review
After Isaac Wood's departure, multiple fans, including myself, were doubtful about the rest of the band's career turning out as magnificent as during the first two album period. Obviously we all faced the reality that it never would be the same again, but retiring the original material from their live shows felt like a red flag. It's somewhat bothering that whenever I'm going to head to a Black Country, New Road concert, I'm not actually going to hear masterpieces like Sunglasses and Concorde ... read more

It appears that glitch pop is a genre that has a tough time with engaging me in the same sense as all other genres that I enjoy. I wouldn't say that the situation is hopeless by any means, though, there's plenty of good tracks here and I'd say that the overall theme for the album is pretty well selected and obviously memorable, as Softscars appears to be the album that has caught the attention of the reviewers here by the masses. But maybe that's just the website's algorithm. Either way, the ... read more
I used to find Jeff Buckley overrated on some of the first few times I heard his songs. His version of Hallelujah always felt too subtle to me and his representation of 90s alternative rock didn't feel like anything too unique or characteristic aside from his vocals and devotion to his craft, which is a little tougher to leave without any characteristics at all. But that was in the past. Over the time, the sad tunes grew on me and I started to find his guitar riffs and motives cooler. I haven't ... read more
The smaller and less exciting brother to Dookie is still an album that's worth your while, at least that's how I view it. It's short and dynamic enough to please someone who enjoyed the previous album, and even people who might not consider pop punk as one of their favourite genres could enjoy some of the tracks here. With the key word being "some", of course, because a lot of the songs are fairly typical and can feel a little aged by the final few tracks.
The beginning's quite good. ... read more
Fun and jumpy record with a greater amount of guest artists than the whole fictional band. Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez is an album which doesn't complicate things. It technically isn't as much as an ordinary album as it is also an animated web series, but I decided not to watch them this time around. Maybe some other day. The album still works very well on its own, and I like the decision of diving the album into the regular section and a deluxe section of tracks, as the whole thing ... read more
For some reason, Wilco is a band that I have been unintentionally running away from for all these years I've been into music exploration. It's not like they are some complete underground artists, and I don't think I would have ignored them for very long had I heard their material sooner, so there's no other explanation here than me being a social experiment of the world government in terms of how much music can I consume. Jokes aside, these guys emerged pretty much at the right time for me. I ... read more

Yo Bricked! I’ve been getting inspiration to make another community list in these past few days, and I’ve just thought of a question that kind of interested me to see people’s choices; what’s a song you know that sounds super happy but is actually sad, due to lyrical content and/or backstory? Feel free to ignore if you’re not interested in answering, but make sure to keep your selections limited to 1 or 2 picks if you do. Reasonings are optional :)
