E-Girls Are Ruining My Life! is undone from the start by some of the lamest lyrics I’ve ever heard.
Cabin Fever is a song that, like most of CORPSE’s music, tries so hard to sound dark and mysterious but is actually just very boring.
Cat Girls Are Ruining My Life! is about as good as a song called Cat Girls Are Ruining My Life! could have been.
If you like music that can play in supermarkets or in the menus of FIFA 14, you’ll love Love Me Again.
Hearth Room finds the hyperpop stalwarts venturing into the realm of indie and emo- with some pretty solid results!
Despite some good moments here and there, LIGHT+ is- in general- a saccharine, overblown effort with little to offer in the way of originality.
The Mad Stone is a bit of a mess but I also reckon it’ll grow on me when Mountainhead releases in full.
Danny Brown brings his stark yet authentic lyrics to the forefront of the melancholic Quaranta, to great effect.
Just when I thought I knew what my favourite album of the year was, Lana Del Rey comes through with Did You Know There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, a transcendent, ethereal, softly crushing listening experience that totally blindsided me with its sheer beauty.
There are some nice millennial pop tunes, but too much of Woodstock ditches my favourite parts of Portugal. The Man to the point where any 2010s FIFA-core band could have made this.
Jenn’s Terrific Vacation features another highly skilled performance from Danny but it also utilises these unsettling, shivering drums and sparse piano notes to incredible effect, creating one of the most brilliantly unsettling songs of 2023.
OK Orchestra feels- perhaps surprisingly- like a collection of potentially decent songs undone spectacularly by some unbelievable production choices. Either way, it’s a definite improvement on AJR’s previous work.
On the kitschy, millennial-pop snoozefest that is Neotheater, AJR retain all their unpleasant hallmarks; but at the very least they tone down the aggravatingly dated dubstep-y production a little.

On orange's review of Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill
"great review; dan le sac & scroobius pip are interesting in that their legacy now seems to be this song and a very bad pitchfork review. i heard their first album and none of it really gelled with me, although i did enjoy this does it offend you yeah remix of a song off their second album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwvucPxCyC0. also, their name is always a nice little throwback to when collaborations would be labeled as "one artist vs another artist" haha"

On orange's review of Lovejoy - One Simple Trick
"I dunno, I think Lovejoy have had more than enough time to find their niche, so to speak. They've already put out three widely publicised EPs and they're getting double the attention and resources a regular indie rock band would get at this stage in their career thanks in no small part to the existing popularity of their lead singer. If they're still spinning their wheels in the mud right now I don't have high hopes for their future release quality."

On bubobratesmusic's review of The K's - I Wonder If The World Knows
"that game in particular took a heavier influence from the edm scene as well as more pop rap (let it roll, us against the world) and the bulk of the indie was mostly along the lines of shimmer pop like st. lucia and early walk the moon"
