So I just noticed I never reviewed this. It's fire, Toby Fox is a great game designer and also a really good musician. Everything is constructed to a T and the way the music works feeds the comedy in the game and also the more serious moments. I might write a longer review at some point but that's all I have to say for now

Album trade week four: @thekitchenfloor

This album made me feel almost every emotion that a human can feel in one hour.
Including hunger. I made chicken nuggets about halfway through.
I would love to write a review for this album. I really would but I can't. I can't find a way for myself to pen down with my feeble fingers on this keyboard the way that this album and its corresponding movie made me feel. My breath was stolen and locked away beneath the rollicking waves to only ... read more

Three hours of Micheal Gira moaning

Swans is a band I've been trying my damn darndest to get into for a while now. Since listening to some of Soundtracks for the Blind, some of The Seer, some of a few others and never really quite being able to get into them I've been frustrated again and again by my inability to fully listen to and enjoy one of their albums. Until now. Live Rope is a live album, as the name suggests; recorded performances have always stuck out to me as some of the ... read more

“May you have a nice, long life. Hope it’s beautiful.”

Listening to music made by a man who died two months later is harrowing. Ka’s vocals are strapped back and soft, hushed and downtoned and so interesting to listen to, the beats in the back are kind of jazzy, kind of soul reminiscent, there is sampling left and right to great effect, Ka’s vocals whittle away at the instruments they’re placed over and they help the minimalistic approach to the music hit ... read more

Album Trade Week 4: @Rolymongone

What you see here is 200 micrograms of LSD

After not loving Kill Bill's "RAMONA" too much I went into this album with apprehension, but ended up enjoying it more than the aforementioned mixtape, I'm shocked this isn't more beloved than that one. I didn't enjoy the way his voice sounded on RAMONA and I kept some of that dislike here, however the beats are so much more inventive here so I'll give it that. The song after the ... read more

Imagine for a moment you are the individual who made this album. You are a sick, twisted person who believes that art is nothing but a piece of capital for people to profit off of. You believe that Phil Elverum was not grieved by the death of his wife when in reality he was broken down into more pieces than anyone could even begin to imagine and he swept up those pieces with a soft broom and collected them into an album that you looked at with a glimmer of malice in your yellow, pus covered ... read more

150 Review Special!!

For my 150th review I've decided to take another look at the bombastic, psychedelic Japanese trio that is Fishmans. After loving LONG SEASON and absolutely adoring the hell out of their magnum opus, the live album "98.12.28", which contains my favorite song of all time, a live version of the aforementioned LONG SEASON, I decided I'd check out the trio's next most beloved album behind the two I'd heard, "Uchu Nippon Setagaya". This ... read more

Jimmy Hendrix is a name that I've heard before. I never quite knew what he did, I just heard that name floating around in places without really paying it attention, without really caring. It kind of had the same effect as Barbara Streisand, like, who the hell is this guy, is he an actor, a musician, what? I dunno. Well, here I am listening to "Electric Ladyland"; now I know, and I am better off because of it. Hendrix's voice sounds like freshly shredded cheese, bringing out ... read more

Now this is a really unique album. Nujabes' "Modal Soul" is me taking another stab at rap music, this time a Jazz Rap album, and among of the most praised of all time at that, and for good reason. This is my first interaction with Jazz Rap and Nujabes blends the genres so well, the jumps and hops of rap and the soft buttery grooves of jazz dance in a circle together along with the different vocal features that Nujabes garners through this album to create truly something. Cise ... read more

how is this real

You know that era, in like the late 2010s where every big radio pop song had some random rap verse that has no real purpose but is there for some reason? This sounds like an over the top version of those and I really hope it's intentionally making fun of them. Musically it has some good beats and is overall catchy but it's stupid as hell and has like no point. This feels like something my gym teacher would play while we're benching because he thinks it's ... read more

Howdy, folks! I promise I don't live in Texas. For my third review today I'm gonna be listening to Sparklehorse's-- Wait... what the FUCK does that say? viva... dixie... submarine... transmission... plot. I feel like I just got absolutely totaled by the weird ass clown on the album cover trying to read that. Despite what the overall vibes of the cover are desperately trying to communicate this album has a main tag of "Slowcore", a genre that embodies all things sane, ... read more

Album trade week 3: @Stupidstorm's suggestion; "Nurture" by Porter Robinson

So this album is very cutesy synthy electronic pop. It's fun, it's happier than a lot of other things, and it has some really phenomenal production, but it possesses that which is one of my little pet peeves, synth vocals. I don't like synth vocals, I don't like the way they sound, the sound of a real human singing voice without any electronic filter on it sounds so much better in my ... read more

Album trade week three: @thekitchenfloor's suggestion; "Voodoo" by D'Angelo

This is my second dip into Soul as a genre, my first being Marvin Gaye's classic "What's Going On?", and D'Angelo's "Voodoo" I think is even better. D'Angelo's voice is so buttery, it's incredibly satisfying to listen to, the way he articulates everything he says is just so pleasing and I can't really explain why. The bits of this that have ... read more

Album trade week 3: Roly's suggestion; "April Fools" by The Scary Jokes

Shorter review today, I just got back from like 15 hours of a giant drama competition and I am tired as all get out so I'm just gonna give a little synopsis of my thoughts and some track scores. I'm not a big fan of synth vocals in my music, I never have been and I continue not to be here. The overall synthy feel of the entire album is obviously an intentional thing, this is synth pop, after all, ... read more

He's been elected to rock our asses to midnight

With an album cover like that, how could you possible dislike this? Genuinely one of the most whimsy and joy filled album covers I've ever seen and it perfectly reflects the absolute lack of any manner of sanity that this album clutches tightly to its chest. The opener is our singer talking about how there was a cat at his feet that he wanted to pet and then was attacked by it. That is the entire song. Everyone needs more of this in ... read more

This one I'm listening to off of recommendation by a very close friend of mine, he's offhandedly mentioned it a couple times and today told me I should listen to it and so here I am. In my ever lengthy quest to thin out my browser tabs I am hard pressed to try and review multiple albums in a day and I was scrolling through the unreadable list and saw this was 24 minutes long and decided that's a good bet for tonight. Kinji's "windburn" kicks off with its title ... read more

This is the fourth 2026 album I've listened to for a review on this site, the first three being Quadeca's ambient masterwork "i.ii.iii", which I might have actually listened to a fake version of by some fake joker named "retroclinic" but I don't have time to get into that, Angine de Poitrine's "Vol. 2" and you are an angel's "It's Fine To Dream". This album caught my eye because @thekitchenfloor reviewed it and gave it a ... read more

Happy Tuesday, I'm not reviewing an EP today! If you really, truly need to know why it's because I have an absolute shitblasting funkload of albums I need to listen to and I'm losing my mind because my browser is filled with millions of tabs with albums on them to the point where I can't even read them anymore and I need to work through it before I do some random EPs on a Tuesday. Sorry to the exactly zero people who were hoping for EP Tuesday today. Anyways, this album is ... read more

"Afraid for the beauty that lies within me
And that which I hold within my hand"

Oh... oh, what the fuck? "Doom Metal" is a genre that in all of my time in the music sphere gave off a distinct aura of repulsion. I wanted to run away from anything labeled as "Doom Metal" because I assumed it would be a bunch of overly emo guys screaming about doom and death and gore while deathly sharp guitars crawled down my ears, delivering bounds of fatal lacerations until I ... read more

Contrary to what the artist name would suggest this is actually Mid-Air Thief's musical debut, the album has a lot of the good qualities that "Crumbling" had and I am certainly not complaining that I'm getting more showcases of Mid-Air Thief's phenomenal abilities to create awesome psychedelia. The way that they sing here and on Crumbling doesn't really feel like a voice and more like just another instrument, it ebbs and flows as the music does with its own effects ... read more
