Conway the Machine - WON'T HE DO IT
40
Did he fall off, or is the genre oversaturated?

-

Conway is a rapper I've been listening to for 3, listening to From King To A God in 2020 was my first Conway experience, and it was a good one. After Benny dropped a modern classic and Westside Gunn was proving his almost avant-garde coke rap could help him join mainstream names, it felt like Conway was ready to prove his name. While not as memorable as Tana Talk 3 or Pray For Paris, Conway had potential, and he had a LOT of it.

So I've been ... read more

Foo Fighters - But Here We Are

WEEKLY ALBUM HIGHLIGHT #1: Foo Fighters' 'But Here We Are'

'But Here We Are' is a comeback album in a way, which is a bit odd considering their last album was released less than two years ago. The Foo's previous outing, Medicine at Midnight, was a poorly reviewed alt-rock record that followed up the lackluster albums proceeding Wasting Light. Although I haven't given a listen, even from the outside it doesn't seem like a great record. After Medicine there wasn't exactly SIGNS that the beloved ... read more

Swans - The Great Annihilator

SWANS BINGE (14/22)

We're almost there. It's almost Soundtracks season. As for The Great Annihilator, it stands on its own for probably the best front to back experience that Swans has crafted so far. Although the heavy sounds and lyrics about a grimy '70s NYC from Cop can be brought up, or the disgusting lyrics, unrefined sound and the fact you can picture the venues from Public Castration Is A Good Idea can be brought up, I feel like from the first second of In to the last second of Out, ... read more

Swans - Love of Life
75
SWANS BINGE (13/22)

If Swans' previous record was an album with stripped back folk elements that had gaps filled by gothic rock crescendos and riffs, Love of Life takes away lots of the gothic rock elements after the first couple tracks, instead building a way folkier sound, no country. How does it work? Well, decent to say the least. It's not a bad record by any means, but I can't help but feel like I left with less than I expected.

Some of the highlights come from the biggest hints to drone ... read more

Swans - White Light from the Mouth of Infinity
80
SWANS BINGE (12/22)

Wow that was a nice experience. Swans' seventh studio album in a matter of 9 years seems to see the group come back from their label dropping them, and what Gira considers a shit album (but I like it though, Gira please put it on streaming!!!). Nonetheless, White Light seems like a stripped back version of the expansive The Burning World, with more gothic rock elements rather than straight forward folk and country. While this may seem bad to a person like me who loved the ... read more

Swans - The Burning World

SWANS BINGE (11/22)

Big last couple weeks of school, sorry I'm slowing down on the binge!!! This was actually a really cool album, and I could kinda tell from the start that I was really going to like this. The folk elements on Children of God were really nice, and some of my favorite elements of the album, so The Burning World was more of an excitement than a burden for me since the start, which is odd.

Happily, it lived up to my expectations, even AOTY's lowest rated tracks from here were ... read more

I have taken your recommendation and done a foo fighters review

Thanks for explaining

Oh, gotcha. Sorry that i kept asking, it wouldn’t register 🤣

I like to keep it as unbiased as possible, but there are some albums I’m extremely attracted to (one’s coming up soon). But yeah, i don’t rate by artist. I might listen by artists, but a good album is good, and bad is bad in my book 😊

If you don’t mind me asking, what was so diverse about my opinions? I’m really curious now.

I lied, only ones I’m redoing are the Ariana and Tate ones. I don’t have anything else to say about the others that I haven’t already said. Just wanted to clear that up 😅🫠

ty for being my 99th follower :3

Also, going to go more in depth with a couple of reviews. You can see that when I started, some were really short and vague. Gonna touch those up and get them reissued (only exceptions are Benson and Ava because I really don’t want to listen to those again. I’m worried that my constant repetition will taint my views of them).

Thanks! You too! Love me some pop and country and I’ve got a giant list of what I still have to review. Don’t know what was so based, but hey, I’ll take it 😂
