Beyond all layers, the greatest foundation of a revolution is love, and nothing will shake your core once it becomes your heart's engine.
One of the best songs of the decade.
They really just blended all of their albums into one.
This is a more grounded, experimental, and conclusive version of what its predecesor should have been, and while it doesn't reach that prime consistency in atmosphere/music that the whole concept once could carry (Trench), it does bring some of the highest of highs regarding their trademark, genre-blending sound.
Breach does feel like the end of this long ass chapter, and I'm glad to have been a part of it ever since 2017 ... read more
This actually sounds like a DD/PB era track, boy I missed them funky hopeless tunes. Great track, hoping it ain't the only one that keeps this tone.
'12am' does stuff to me no other song has ever done, and it ain't even a minute long.
Could not stop my head from bobbing. What an incredibly smooth listen, everything flows perfectly in here.
When you delve too much into a concept that you neglect the quality of the songs, this is the unfortunate contrast to Trench. Disappointing back then, disappointing now.
PD: Of course Greg Kurstin is in here. He's the midas of pop but everything he touches turns to shit instead of gold.
There are LEVELS between this and their previous projects. Again some corny lyrics here and there but what can you do with this man, I forgive and forget after hearing the production on this thing. First half's way better than the second one though.
PD: Last time I listened to this one was back in 2018/2019 at the peak of my top phase. I played this bitch until my ears couldn't take it anymore, so the fact that it aged well with me is a positive.

Everytime. Lovely and playful tune by Simz.
A really mangled record, repeated and reverberated sounds are the main source behind almost all of the tracks. That, by itself, is a brand new instrument in this GDSF album, but an instrument that makes or breaks songs.
Many tunes in here carry a decent hook or noise that drives on and on... and while it fits perfectly for tracks like Messy Bones (probably the best song from this band), it might just bore you to death in others. Nonetheless, this one's a slight improvement from their ... read more
Beyond the shite mastering lies an interesting pop record, with flashes and mixes of other genres thrown in (most of the times with a parodic intent). I can feel a lot of the songs blending in well while sitting by a campfire, like the cover art shows.
Obviously there are some tunes in here that are quite boring and/or unnecessarily drab, but some like Travelling Mind, Boxing Day, or Man-Made Reservoir are truly charming in their own way. I guess that's what drives this record (and band ... read more
Model/Actriz master the art of controlled chaos in Dogsbody Part 2. Yes less noisy (besides Ring Road), but it is way more focused on what it tries to do, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.
PD: Poppy is a strong contender for song of the year y'all need to appreciate it more.
Music to dance to whenever the asteroid hits. Funky-punky tunes, with a restrained noise influence coming through at times
Thundercat ate on this one, expeditiously. Best one of the bunch in that wretched album.
Post-hiatus Gorillaz still ain't doing it for me sadly, and this one started off so well with Strange Timez man. Funnily enough I like the deluxe tracks a bit more than the standard ones (With Love to An Ex should have been in here)
