Set Fire to Flames - Telegraphs in Negative / Mouths Trapped in Static
100

To be human is to strive for intimacy.
This album isolates you just as its creators isolated themselves, moments of lfe are sparce and deliberate and in hearing voices speak you do not feel as if you are being spoken to rather you are listening in from the other side of a barrier. There is a certain hopelessness you are to experience, that is the beauty in this.

I did not expect Tim Armstrong to be a highlight

Eminem - The Eminem Show

Better than mmlp

The Postal Service - Give Up
97

I own 2 copies of this album and only just realised it's the Death Cab for Cutie guy. This goes incredibly hard tho.

Green Day - Father of All…

Weezer is less generic and annoying than this

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress'

Best 40 minutes of nothing I've ever listened to

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O.

Better than the malnourished hands album

Los Campesinos! - A Good Night for a Fistfight
90

"He never came bAHck again" at 1:17 on miserabilia is my 2nd favourite Gareth voice crack behind the studio version of sweet dreams sweet cheeks at 2:56. I love this version of heart swells/ Pacific daylight time and I think it hits much harder than the studio version, there's a few songs that hit harder actually. They might sound exhausted but that's to be expected from such a long set. Great album and send-off to Ellen.

Elliott Smith - Either/Or
95

This album made me pick up the guitar that had sat unplayed in my room for 2 years.
Intimate, melancholic lyrics and stripped back instrumentation provides a comforting feel to otherwise dark topics. Feels very hopeless and lonely at times but that human nature of Elliott's is what makes his songwriting so likeable. A personal favourite of mine.

Los Campesinos! - Romance Is Boring
98

"Please just let me be the one to keep track of the freckles and the moles on your back"
Incredibly charming both lyrically and instrumentally, my favourite album and band.

On 𝒩𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓂𝑒𝒢𝓃𝓉's review of Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness
"As someone who had to take their best friend to A&E after she drank toilet cleaner to unalive herself, I think it's important to live your life for the memory of others. An individual has 2 deaths and the second is when they are forgotten so make sure she isn't, tell stories to people and celebrate their life rather than mourn their death. Obviously you'll need time to mourn and that's okay but it gets better. I hope you're doing alright because I'm sure you're loved. Stay safe."
