Recently revisited this album, and it still hasn't gotten old: such a timeless piece of art. Goes hard and never gets boring.

Computa bring back A Lonesome Crowded West Computa

Classic

On their sophomore album, Noori shifted from their more downtrodden, lo-fi soundscape to a more energetic, rockier sound, which even delves into punk territory with "Kuttay Te To Uttay" [which translates to "The Dogs Awoke"] with fast, raw, and aggressive guitar playing over screaming vocals. The song is fairly simple structure-wise too, with minimal chords and a standard chorus/verse structure similar to punk or even a more aggressive Ramones. The band's evolution also ... read more

This was good but I don't see myself going back to some of these tracks unlike Love is Not Enough. Still good though, the vocals are pretty phenomenal, I've never heard anything like that before.

It's rather sonically boring and pretty forgettable slop, just a spamming of sounds, but I'd rather listen to this than Drake. Thus, in good faith, I will not give it a 0.

Some of the most sombre and melancholy productions I've seen in South Asian music. The album is great and deserves a listen, though my only gripe is that it does tend to drag on a bit, and sometimes the songwriting does get stale, which, for me, takes away from the depressing atmosphere that Lifafa has created. Some of the experimentation, like the ending of "Jaago", just doesn't fit well with what the entire first half of the track is trying to achieve, and it's a ... read more

aaaaaaaaa

/mu/ would be proud

Last great Strokes album.

How far the great fall 😞

Other than Dreams and The Chain, really, the rest is kinda generic and sonically uninteresting; I don't even remember the melody of any other track after a single listen. This album is pretty overrated in my opinion.

Iceage is perhaps my most favourite band of all time, it's been really interesting to see their sound evolve from being hardcore punk to toning down into more rock/country and post-punk territory. Even thematically, they've gone from being dystopian and depressive to more jovial and happier, though their lyrics are still characteristically gloomy and grim, they've somehow become more inspiring and found a new voice. The guitars and production are no longer abrasive, and instead, ... read more

Deeply relatable, almost poetic, and visceral music that reminds me of Car Seat Headrest, but I appreciate the vocals here much more; I think they complement the melancholy and indie vibes much better. The use of acoustics and drums on this album is so phenomenal; the more aggressive parts of the songs are my favourite. I mean, just the build-up to those moments, both thematically through the song-writing and the production, is a joy to listen to. The use of acoustics and distorted riffs ... read more

The ending of Cry for Me is so catchy and melodic, I mean most of this album is, it's so beautifully produced and put together.

These beats are fire as hell

So beautifully dystopian and eerie

Incredibly underrated and visceral songwriting

This is the sonic precursor to In Rainbows and the bleak and melancholic soundscape of Ok Computer; it's a middle ground of what both those albums' exceptional traits: the electronic and glitchy production of IR and the trodden down, bleak, and saddening vibe that Ok Computer has to a lesser degree than both. Though this is still a great record and I enjoyed most of it, especially "The National Anthem" and "Motion Picture Soundtrack." Radiohead is great at creating ... read more

Peak spiritually moving music

Carried by the vocals, otherwise fairly forgettable
