Madvillain - Madvillainy
90

At the time of originally reviewing this on Musicboard, I had been bumping this album almost non-stop for two weeks. Now, about a year later, it's my most listened to album of the year. I maintain that this album is incredible and contains some of the most interesting and unique production, combined with the rhymes and pen game from DOOM that continues to be unmatched. It would be an easy "100/100 no notes" but, I really can't look past some of the tracks in the middle of ... read more

Fleshwater - We're Not Here to Be Loved
86

Originally, when I listened to this album, I gave it a 77. In the past couple of years however, it's just grown and grown on me.

This is some of the best shoegazey alt-metal I've heard in a good while. Each track has enjoyable vocals from both vocalists, as well as some of the greatest, head crushing riffs in recent memory. Like, I feel that these riffs outpace even bands like Deftones with some of their more recent work.

Each song is short but sweet, with the whole project coming ... read more

Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps

in conclusion, i can't stop crying

this album is so heartbreaking but so beautiful.

Aesop Rock - I Heard It's a Mess There Too
79

Comparatively, it feels like I'm cooler on this record than most, but it equals out because of my Aesop Rock bias, I suppose.

This album is pretty good. I'm not super crazy about it but it's full of pretty enjoyable and verbose tracks, particularly towards the back half of the record. You know what you're getting into with an Aesop Rock record: verbose and complex rhymes, topics from introspection to novel things, interesting production - and this album delivers all those ... read more

Deftones - private music
93

After really getting into Deftones in '22, I was worried that this wouldn't be a hit. I didn't really enjoy Ohms as much as many others, Gore wasn't a personal favourite, and I was worried the trajectory wasn't to my taste.

How glad I am to be wrong.
From the first single, and the opener to the record, 'my mind is a mountain', I knew this album was gonna be different to their other recent work, and I feel confident calling this as a top 3 Deftones ... read more

don't mind me, I just like yapping about the albums I fixate on. 💚 it's mostly skewed towards high scores because fuck am I gonna finish an album I'm not liking 💀

After listening to synthwave and Darksynth on and off for a decade, I feel like these are the strongest overall projects in the genre, and ones I would show to anyone interested in getting into this ...
