The guy under my review has NO idea what he’s talking about

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85–92
90

An album as groundbreaking as it is pleasing, Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is what many consider to be a landmark for electronic music as a whole. The samples used to create some of these tracks and the feelings they provoke are really diverse, which make this experience even more unique—and that’s something that I can’t say about many records!

Even though this isn’t what I’d consider to be Aphex Twin’s best album, I still think it’s by far his most ... read more

Kanye West - Runaway
100

It’s really unfortunate to see Kanye’s downfall as both an artist and as a person happen this quickly, especially since he’s probably one of my favorite artists of all time. I genuinely hope he gets better someday, but oh well…

Deftones - White Pony
70

I’d like to clarify that before listening to this album, I had heard a couple of Deftones songs, so this isn’t really my first “experience” with the band. The few songs I had listened to before White Pony were really good, so I was hoping I’d enjoy this album much more than I did—but oh well…

In my opinion, the blend of metal and shoegaze doesn’t mix too well, and it even makes this project feel oddly unfinished. It was inconsistent with both ... read more

Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings
90

Is this what I expected from a Radiohead live album? Not quite—but I’d be lying if I said these tracks were worse than the originals.

I Might Be Wrong features some of Radiohead’s best songs from both Amnesiac and Kid A, so it was clear from the start that this would be a great live album. The only track not from these albums is the final song, True Love Waits. This version feels even more raw, having only Yorke’s vocals and a simple acoustic guitar. I’m unsure ... read more

Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There
95

I owe this record a proper review, don’t I? After all, it’s been quite a while since I seriously reviewed an album I really appreciate, and I’ve been thinking about rewriting some of my older reviews to update how I actually feel about my favorite albums.

“Ants From Up There” is the sophomore album by the band Black Country, New Road. I remember hearing about this album when it was released, as I had a couple of friends who were really into music in 2022, but I ... read more

Frank Ocean - Blonde
90

(45 –> 85 –> 90)

this album gets better the sadder you are

Kendrick Lamar - GNX
85

Portishead - Dummy
95

Happy 30 year anniversary! It’s nice being able to write a review for such a landmark album, especially during a time like this :)

‘Dummy’ is Portishead’s debut album, and it practically revolutionized the trip hop genre as a whole (Albeit groups such as Massive Attack were also present, I think Dummy had more of an impact overall.). I obviously had pretty high expectations due to its status, and on first listen, it really didn’t live up to my expectations.

It ... read more

Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D
80

hello fellow readers !! :D >v< ^-^

It’s been a while since I’ve written a somewhat long review, so I wanted to write one on what I think is the best album released this year, and that’s “SMILE! :D”. And despite such an unusually uplifting name, this album is kind of… mixed?

Something that this album does a lot is being motivating. Topics that are pessimistic are typically sugarcoated with other lyrics that are more uplifting (or even silly) along ... read more

Your Favorite Martian - Transphobic Techno (Bitch Got a Penis)
0

longest 3 minutes i’ve ever experienced fml

結束バンド [kessoku band] - 結束バンド LIVE-恒星- at Zepp Haneda (TOKYO)
75

bocchi the rock is extremely HOT!!!! kessoku band rocks my socks!!!

파란노을 [Parannoul] - Sky Hundred
75

I don’t think Sky Hundred is album of the year, but it’s really sad to see the user score drop after fantano gave it a 6/10…

Fishmans - LONG SEASON
85

This album is one of the most relaxing listens I’ve ever had, and that’s saying something! It’s incredibly lively, would totally recommend for anyone trying to get into ambient music.

FAVORITE(S): [untitled], [untitled]
LEAST FAVORITE(S): [untitled]

David Bowie - ★ [Blackstar]
90

Blackstar is one of those albums that I’ve always wanted to revisit, but never found the right time for such a listen. Now, at the time of writing (multiple days ago…), I finally gave it the relisten it deserved, and I have to admit, it’s been a while since I’ve felt this disturbed by an album.

If it wasn’t obvious enough, this album is about death. This topic recurring throughout the whole album is why it’s such an experience to listen to, and also why ... read more

JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
90

(EDIT: 85-90)

Y’all are peggy glazers fml 😭🙏

Is this album of the year? Perhaps, but it’s DEFINITELY overrated in some way. Maybe it’s just me disliking some of the tracks in the middle, making this 40 minute album feel bloated more than anything, but I really expected to give this a score over 90. Now, why did I give this an 85? (Which, mind you, is still a great score.)

Well, surprise! I have a couple of positive things to say about this album. The things it gets ... read more
