Pinned Review

Car Seat Headrest - Twin Fantasy (Face to Face)
100
Car Seat Headrest's most acclaimed body of work is an album about loneliness, yet about the desire of love. It’s about knowing of one’s right of being happy, yet the inevitability of feeling empty. It's about wanting to go through the good parts of being human, yet despising the dreadfulness that comes with it. It’s ambiguous on whether the narrator is talking about memories or desires. It is an album built on the coexistence of deeply metaphorical and referential lyrics and ... read more

100 gecs - 10,000 gecs
77
although not as strong and memorable as its precedent, 10,000 gecs is another playful and insanely creative collage of clever sounds and childish lyrics by the most unserious gen-z duo out there.

(i really dig the random post-punk guitar moment in one million dollars it fills me with inexplicable happiness.)

79
Unapologetically fun and sensual, with hints of a provocative Janelle, «The Age of Pleasure» is as groovy and warm as an evening by the beach paired with cheap sangria and a joint - summer doesn’t get much better than this.

Its songs blend into each other effortlessly and unpretentiously, as if mimicking a slow sunset that starts unexpectedly but keeps on going until the music stops.

Monáe’s 4th studio album may not be as epic and monumental as her previous ... read more

Oval - Ovidono
78
electronic music innovator Oval’s most recent project is an unsettling and hypnotic, yet weirdly comforting and visceral piece of lush electroacoustic ambient landscapes. paired with unintelligible and cryptic, skin-crawling, yet tingly, whispers reminiscent of a nymph’s, the rawness of the electroacoustic takes up the stage and strikes the listener as something unexplainably sublime.
Björk - Vespertine
100
(i’ll be reviewing björks’ discography on the days coming up to the release of fossora. but until then i’ll just say this is the only album ever)
Perfume Genius - Ugly Season
94
this generation’s vespertine.

Wassup, I hope all is well! I wanted to let you know that my band’s EP, “Winter Break” is now out on all platforms!!! It’s in the alt punk genre (sorta lol). I appreciate if you end up giving it a shot, and if not no worries at all :) Here’s the AOTY link if you’re interested:

Over a year ago, I asked you and many other AOTY users what album you would want to be friends with. Welp, I decided to bring the concept back, with a sorta 'sequel' to that list and a reverse question:

If an album was personified as a person, what's one album you would avoid at all costs, whether it be cause of corniness, flat out racism or if it's simply a bad album.

Thank you for your time if you do end up responding and have a good one :).
