Be who you are (unless it results in this)

Big grower on return. I really undersold this on the first listen.
Original: 79

How we ball in the club, know you hating. Wanna see you dance. ooOOoOoOoooooOoOOOO

It’s incredibly difficult to sit down for two entire hours to listen to an album. But To Be Kind fills every last bit of its runtime with musical brilliance.

The edit is so bad it’s shocking. The only people who would buy this are hardcore swans fans who would much prefer the original anyways so I don’t see the point of it’s inclusion. The live version is fine but I wish they touched it up. The early version is the coolest thing on this project but you can see why they ended up going on a completely different route for the song. The acoustic version sounds like a cut track from soundtracks for the blind. Just listen to the original.

This is the album that got me into seriously listening to music. Every moment on this album is filled with technical skill from every member of Yes. Nothing else has made me feel the way I felt at the end of Close to the Edge. I cried. And it was awesome.

This album is wholesome :). All the songs add to the cozy vibe of the album while still being able to reach some dramatic points. It’s consistently really good, unlike Fragile which has way larger highs and way larger lows.

Best single so far. Very pleasant and dreamy. It does drag towards the end with its nearly five minute run time.

Banger debute ep. It makes me really sad they never put specialist on TotBL.

OK Computer is such a layered and intriguing album. Every part of it feels like you can take a chunk out of it and think about it for hours. My own personal belief of the story of this album is that the protagonist is involved in a car accident in Airbag. This leads them to having a crisis that they experience for the first half of the album. They feel as though our modern society is being controlled by the government and technology. This leads into Paranoid Android later on Karma Police and ... read more

DAMN. isn’t even close to the pinnacles of Kendrick’s career, but even then it’s still a great album. The beginning kinda sucks with its vague and poorly executed themes, but the second half of the album really picks up the slack. The themes of personal struggle and fear for the future of the country are compelling and well thought out on the second half. Also the production on this album goes crazy at points. My favorite examples being on Element and Fear because they really ... read more

Ed Sheeran makes another dull mainstream singer-songwriter album with brief flashes of unverifiable openness. The highs are about as enthralling as a small bump on a rollercoaster made for 5 year olds and the lows are about as bad as being locked in a room with a deck of cards exclusively for playing solitare.

The chorus is annoying and it reminds me of a will wood song which makes it worse. The verses are just average, they aren't as good as boat.

He doesn't need any critics tbh if he keeps this average quality up

This performance is phenomenal and it never feels like it drags even with it's hour and twenty-seven minute run time. The connection to 98.12.28 is very obvious. I think that this show does not reach the heights that 98.12.28 does, mainly due to Sato's emotion in his voice, but this show never feels like it is stealing from that show. The recording kinda sounded like ass and could have been touched up a little (mainly the guitar but Parannoul's vocals get drowned out by the instruments a little ... read more

Will Wood part 1

My friends really like Will Wood, but I’d heard some of his recent shit and it sucked. I got into an argument over Will Wood style music so I have decided to listen to the whole discography.

As evidenced by my score, this album is dog shit. It is the epitome of what I hate in this style of music. It’s got the dnd saloon ass piano and one of the most overbearing, grating and annoying lead singers I have ever heard. Will Wood has these terrible vocal inflections and ... read more

This album instills such a sense of urgency that still permeates to this day

Best album of 2022 no question

Most replayable album of all time imo

Vibrant and interesting the whole way through. Never gets boring even on repeat listens.
