SCREW A BRAT SUMMER, THIS YEAR WE GOTTA U SPRING. Makes me wanna go 21 in a school zone 😈
Corniness aside, not only do I consider this to be one of the best hyperpop albums of the decade, but, forgive me if I'm reaching here, one of the most well-made hyperpop albums of all time. It's very rare for a pop album to get me LEGIT JUMPIN as this one has. On that note, probably the first time in a while that I listened to an album front to back FOUR CONSECUTIVE TIMES before reviewing. ... read more
ANCO DIVE #46 (BONUS): ANIMAL CRACK BOX
CAN SOMEBODY PAY ME A CALM 300 BUCKS TO BUY THIS ALBUM? PLEASE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND🥲
Out of all of Animal Collective's batshit insane days, this one's honestly the most chill. It's still wild as hell ofc, but it's "Danse Manatee" with less bleeps n' bloops or whatever, kinda, sorta. Only downside is that it's long as SHIT, but it's more of a live compilation so it's all gucci.
Also, this GOTTA ... read more
THE BEST COLLAB I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED‼️‼️‼️‼️
My art mentor was hyping the hell out of the singles that were released a couple of months ago, and I remember liking them quite a bit. But I'm ngl I got MAD excited after picking up the fact that absolutely BEAUTIFUL voice was coming from AURORA, who's a recent favorite of mine. AND 1/2 OF THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS IS THE MAIN PRODUCER?????????? I knew I was gonna love this immediately when it came out.
For the album itself, ... read more
ANCO DIVE #45 (BONUS): TANGERINE REEF
I was praying the rating wasn't true ;(
I didn't include this in the mainline series because it's technically a visual album and not exactly a traditional studio album. So instead of just hearing it, I wanted to see the FULL ARTISTIC VISION with the pairing of the video. I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.
I'm not against the idea of AnCo making an ambient, I enjoy it when they stray from a certain sound, as it keeps the band entertaining. Not ... read more
FINALLY CATCHING UP WITH RECS SORRY FOR THE WAIT (shoutout to @Nephis for the rec!!)
IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
Ask 2023 VGhost his opinion on this, he would've said "hell nah" and placed a calm 65 on this thing. Now that I'm on my 5th listen, I can safely say this is SO FRIGGIN GOOD (ofc).
It's like each time I hear this album, I find something brand new to love about it. If I listen to this a 6th I can probably imagine this being even higher because this is where 10+ ... read more
I know this sounds a little whiny or whatever, but I couldn't listen to this album.
I'm sorry to those who wanted me to give this a listen, but I feel like my lack of motivation for post-lobotomy Kanye extends further than just his INSANE yap sessions and behavior n' whatnot. It's just as an artist, he doesn't really captivate me the same anymore.
Obviously it's borderline impossible to replicate the quality of his original run and I can recognize that. But ... read more
