Mac DeMarco - One Wayne G
57
Okay, so...this is gonna be a very unconventional review as I expect to treat this MUCH more like a collection of demos and throwaways then a full, concise LP that requires an entire listen to appreciate it. This review will have three parts: a time log, a list of track analyses, and a final conclusion of my experience. PLEASE like, and more importantly, please enjoy :)

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This

This literally isn't that bad. Calm down. Yeah, I hate The Chainsmokers, but this is tame.
Flying Lotus - Never Catch Me
95
I was today years old when I found out that FlyLo is part of the Coltrane family.
Swans - Holy Money
75
Swans Discography Dive 4/16: Closing The No-Wave Chapter (kind of); "Holy Money" (1986)

Yeah, this is just better "Greed".

It's no surprise that the first couple Swans records have been a bit of a snore as they've been digging into each and every corner of this no-wave, industrial sound they helped pioneer, but this record honestly felt a bit refreshing after the last two, incorporating a lot more rhythmically entrancing moments and hypnotic portions that felt much more ... read more

Swans - Los Angeles: City of Death
85
To think that I found out this song came out because a girl I met on Tinder mentioned that she likes Swans. What are the odds? This song rules.
Lewis Capaldi - Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent

Wow, shocker. Lewis Capaldi makes another batch of mediocre, sappy, boring ass love songs that bring nothing new or exciting to the world of adult contemporary and pop. After his snooze fest of a debut, "Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent" comes this boring case of songs that go on about missing your love, finding happiness in someone else, and wishing for things in the relationship to be different. ... read more

Yo Hammer! Sorry if I'm bothering you right now, but I thinking of a 1,000 followers special and I decided to create my first-ever AOTY community list featuring some of my followers and some of the most well-known users on this site. The catch is that the list won't focus on music but rather on a personal trait. All you have to do is list your favorite character from any kind of media (video games, films, television episodes, books, you name it!) and explain why you enjoy them so much. The explanation doesn't have to be lengthy; you only need to make sure you list the character's name and where there from. Thanks in advance and I appreciate the fact that you took you time to read this and reply if you do!

Anybody with a Kate Bush profile picture is sort of an instant follow for me. Thanks for the follow.

I've just gotten into Bulgarian Folk music and it is some of the most beautiful music I've listened to, highly recommend it.

Thank you very much, I've been meaning to check out some modern dance pop albums so I'll give those Jessie Ware albums a go for sure. I'll give the other records you've mentioned a listen too!

Every review I’ve posted that I’ve wanted to re-review or highlight as it had been reviewed when I had way less followers or updated ideas.
