Noize MC

Выход в город [Exit to the city]

Noize MC is a lyricist.

This album was really important to me back in the days. It basically was a soundtrack for the previous spring. And here I am, re-listening to it again.
Some ideas don't work like they used to be, some do.. Of course I can't write anything before I meantion song 'Vodoo'.
This song is in Ukranian and it is about loosing contact and complexity of the communication when two sides that are in conflict. It is so fucking sad. Because this album was released ... read more

Juice WRLD

The Light

This just so bad and soulless. No idea why they keep doing this. 0 respect.
Grade A moment

David Bowie

★ [Blackstar]

This is the first time in a long time, when I truly have nothing to say.

Needless to say, that this album is distinctive. I can say only that I am definitele impressed by this record. Everything is incredibly high-quality, from the beggining to an end. Beautiful Jazz-y instrumentations combined with David's Bowie vocals and guiatrs make this sound really unique, personal and touching.

Twenty One Pilots

Scaled And Icy (Livestream Version)

ONLY LIVESTREAM REVIEW

Fuck, the transitions are so smooth! I love it! Listen, I'm a twenty one pilots fan, and I have a lot of warm feelings towards this music duo. Twenty One Pilots is my first favorite band, and they opened the music world for me with the release of the music video for Chlorine, but that's a different story.

De La Soul

3 Feet High and Rising

Listening to this record on a sunny day outside hits different

This album is absolutely brilliant and has so much positive energy. The sampling on this album is great and production in general is amazing. Actually, I find this release really charming and I absolutely love the vibe of it. Also, wtf is that orgy skit, but I guess it's an 80's hip-hop feature or something xd
Happy to finally hear De La Soul on streaming.

The Weeknd

Starboy (Deluxe)

I have absolutely no idea why he has done it. I mean, yeah, cash grab tag is really suitable for this release.
I mean, isn't he the most streamed artist on spotify right now? Doesn't matter actually, because he's been doing UNREAL numbers for multiple years now.. I see no reason to release this. But I have to admit that the cover is pretty nice.

брат братан братишка дарова че ты как ты... если же без вступлений, то мы не перестаем набирать компанию русскоговорящих ребят со всего аоти и наша ламповейшая и толерантнейшая беседа в телеге существует уже больше двух лет. в общем то, очевидно, что ты пацанчик ровный, интересный, с базированным мнением и вкусом, жи есь. есть желание подключиться? тогда отпиши как можно найти тебя там либо можешь написать мне лично туда!

Thank You.

In music I value emotions the most. I love listening to different stuff, but sometimes I struggle with writing reviews. Trying to be objective.
80+ is really hard to get from me. If I rate something on the same level or higher that means I really loved it.

follow my bros @itspiskavrot & @lisakslv

My Favorite artists are Mac Miller, twenty one pilots, Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead

Library is my vinyl collection.
