J.T. Hiskey Discography Dive p.II

"I like to sound out, like the color pink"

Hiskey's second outing. This one, compared to Hiskeys in Town, which is the single most atrocious album I have ever listened to, is actually like... fine? Hiskey's lyrics, are, as always, ass. So ass. He's so bad. The lyrics are terrible, I can't find them anywhere because no one listens to this shit but what I can hear is garbage. His voice is so bad, some people should just... never ... read more

Album Trade Week 6 - @Stupidstorm

This is the most universally beloved album I've listened to for a trade thus far and it's easy to see why. This is gothic dream rock, a genre fusion that when you think about it probably shouldn't work but works out really well here. Robert Smith's vocals channel that classic 80s feel in a different way than usual, I haven't had much experience with the 80s but Prince's "Purple Rain" is sort of the holotype for 80s music ... read more

J.T. Hiskey Discog Dive p.1

Fuck it. Here we go. J.T. Hiskey. Have you heard of him? Hell no. He has like 150 monthly listeners. Do I like him? Hell no. He sucks. So bad. This is his first album ever, Hiskeys in Town. This album is bad. In the first song I heard someone say the f slur who I sincerely doubt is allowed to. However, the rapping, as long as Hiskey himself isn't doing it, isn't the worst thing I've ever heard in my life...? Hiskey is the single worst rapper of all ... read more

I ate the impossible whopper and it haunted me

This... is terrible. They came up with one melody and then beat it into the dirt until it looked up at them, fear in its eyes, and then they poured gasoline on it and lit it on fire. My ears are bleeding. My eyes are watering. My mouth is dry. My skin is hard and flaking, my mind is rotting, I want to die. Someone release me from this hell. Please, I implore you, please. Help me. This was like getting speared through by a plastic fork for 6 ... read more

For my second Kalai album, instead of doing the obvious and checking out his debut, "Acoustacism", I'm checking out his latest and most obscure album, "Leonard Park". Released 12 years after his debut, Kalai's voice on Leonard Park sounds considerably older than the young adult he was on "Six Strings and the Rainy Day Man", my only other exposure to his work, and this is definitely different. While that album was mostly an acoustic guitar with some ... read more

Album Trade Week 6: @Rolymongone

I turned my volume down three separate times while listening to this album

Hmm. This album. Some industrial electronic dance / house music. I'm not particularly familiar with house music, like at all, and this is... interesting. One word I'd use to describe it is loud. It's loud, the electronic warbling can be very piercing and angry at times, like on songs like "Let There Be Light". That song is actually a good example of what I like ... read more

AHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO
NOO NOOO NOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
NOOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭
NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭
NOOOOOOO
ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK NOOOOOO
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I've heard like 5 minutes worth of music from this album across different youtube videos and such and it may be the worst thing ever. Living Room be damned, dude. Holy fuck.

"My knees hurt 'cause I'm growin'
And that's a tough pill to swallow"

So I've been considering checking this out for a while. It's in the top 400 albums of all time and it's constantly praised as being an incredibly experimental, nearly avante-garde hip-hop album with some incredible ambience to it and some wonderful production, but there's one thing that scared me off. For some reason, I have a hard time with super deep voices. I don't ... read more

Slauson Malone? More like Swans Malone

I want you to imagine you're walking through the forest one day, the ends of a stream of rain trickling down your shoulders as the clouds begin their slow journey over the horizon and the sun creeps through the suspended fog. You find yourself staring down a tree stump with a hole in it. You look into the hole and you see nothing. Deep, petrifying nothing. The dew still chilling your calloused toes in the grass beneath you as your eyes look into this ... read more

Guys, holy shit. Thanks for 30 followers, it means the world to me. As a celebration of this insane milestone; it happened so fast I wasn't even able to celebrate 20; I've decided to take a stab at Fishmans' "Kuchu Camp", my fourth excursion into the absolute perfection that is this incredible trio's work. I plan to do a deep dive into their earlier, more disputed discography at some point, but for now I'm saving their albums for major milestones. 200 reviews ... read more

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I can't. ... read more

Album Trade Week 6: @thekitchenfloor

I've only heard 2 releases from Godspeed You! Black Emperor, one of those being the perfect "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven" and the other being the phenomenal EP "Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada" and I enjoyed both immensely. I've been meaning to get to F# A# Infinity for some time but haven't done it yet, and when @thekitchenfloor recommended "Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!" for an album ... read more

"He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola"

Abbey Road. An album so big they made a movie where the central conflict is that people forgot about it. Now, I'm a Beatles fan. Throw your tomatoes and don your pitchforks, yeah, this is my first time ever listening to Abbey Road. "Revolver" and the White Album (Which I haven't finished yet, I'll get to it one day), and "Magical Mystery Tour" are all all time great albums and obviously since the Beatles ... read more

EDIT (6/3/26): Shaq's face appeared in my bedroom ceiling while I was listening to ETOH. Plus zero points. I just wanted to mention that.

This shit is so 80s. And it was released in the big zero, how'd that happen?

"Can you think of anything that talks, other than a person?
Uh... a bird?
SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAWK--"

"Sampledelia" and "Plunderphonics" are a pair of genres that caught my eye, and so did this album's insanely high user score of ... read more

So I have a friend who's been trying to get me to listen to this album for like a month now and it's finally time. Here we are. Blood Orange's "Essex Honey" I think is my first only critic must hear album, which is kinda funny. This is a really quaint, more experimental pop album, the production is great and the vibes are immaculate. It's certainly a trip, it's weird and it moves in strange places, but that's a good thing. It's got a nice ambience to ... read more

When I heard that Bull of Heaven made a Post-Rock song my jaw dropped. Bull of Heaven, as I mentioned in my review of "Self Traitor, I Do Bring the Spider Love", which I consider to be a perfect album, I mentioned Bull of Heaven's reputation for making insanely long ambient and drone pieces that people generally hate, and having found one hidden gem in their discography I'm determined to find another. This album feels Western, in every sense of the word. it worms its way ... read more

Album Trade Week 5: @Rolymongone

This guy did NOT just rap "I'm like a fartin' armpit". No. Get me out.

So I don't like Kill Bill's voice. I've sugarcoated it in my past reviews of his stuff for these trades but I'm just gonna say it now, I think it's annoying. His beats are solid and his flow is usually great, his lyrics are usually pretty good but sometimes are pretty bad, and all of that comes together to be pretty solid, but his voice just ... read more

Album Trade Week 5: @Stupidstorm

The vibes of this album are immediately interesting. The cover features a real life photo of a sunset, the roof of what looks like either a house of a small cabin just poking through on the side, and three people, all pen-drawn, sketched and overlayed on top, black and white. One is holding up a peace sign and smirking at the camera, and the other two, one around the other's shoulder, are walking off into the distance. This is honestly what the album ... read more

My second excursion into the discography of the acclaimed Quadeca, the 2024 Mixtape “SCRAPYARD” has been on my radar ever since I noticed that Fantano rated it higher than Vanisher, Horizon Scraper. That album is my fourth favorite album of all time, and I had high hopes for an album with similar acclaim. This album is much more rap-focused than Vanisher, which had hip-hop elements scattered throughout but they weren’t the focus, but this album is through and through a hip-hop ... read more

"I know that I am like the rain
There before the grace of you go I"

Simon and Garfunkel's names echo endlessly around the chamber that is early Folk. They wrote one of the most iconic songs of all time, Sound of Silence, which has since been bastardized by such offenders as Disturbed and the Trolls movie. I'd never actually heard the entirety of the original, having grown up on the aforementioned Disturbed version, and yeah, this is leagues better. The titan that is the ... read more
