"Go Limp" and "Mississippi Goddam" made me smile from ear to ear, I love her so much.

Hey everyone, so for the sake of keeping introductions as short as I possibly can, I hit 250 followers last night. While that number is ultimately pretty arbitrary, it is still a pretty big milestone for me, and I wanted a way to thank you all. As much as I wanted to, thanking all 252 of you just isn't practical, especially considering I know some of you better than others, and I didn't want to half-ass anything. So, instead, I'm going to write a bit more at length on some of my favorite people ... read more

Lots of personality in the vocal performances and lyrics but instrumentally Megadeth don't do much of anything to set themselves apart against their contemporaries.

It seems as though some of you don't quite understand

Sorry? Why is this considered one of their worst? Yeah, no, I loved this. It has arguably the worst production of any Slayer album so far but that's a big part of the appeal for me. It's more raw and unhinged than any of their albums up to this point, with the lyrics reflecting that, many of which seem to be sung from the perspective of a mentally disturbed person, namely on tracks like "213", and there's also just a lot of biting criticism about the rapidly declining society of the ... read more

More impenetrable and encompassing than a black hole, Liturgy's debut studio album is a black metal release of deadly grandiosity. It has its slower moments, namely in the untitled interludes, but once "Pagan Dawn" begins you're hooked into its intensity until the moment it finishes. Likewise to Liturgy's later release, "H.A.Q.Q.", I didn't pick up on a single lyric from this because I didn't really feel the need to, as the music really does speak for itself. While there is ... read more

An interesting mixture of folk and metal stylings, "The Mantle" is one of the most wintry and bleak metal albums one is likely to find. The whole atmosphere of this album feels just like the cover, like walking through a lonely forest during the winter, reflecting on things and being consumed by internal pain, or something like that. This is arguably best exemplified in the haunting closer, "A Desolation Song", where a man can be heard lamenting on the pain of love lost. ... read more

Coming near the end of their legendary discography, "Individual Thought Patterns" is arguably Death's best release up to this point in their career. The guitar riffs are as heavy and dark as ever, the vocal performances angry and full of passion. What I've always admired about Death most, though, is their complete resistance to fall into the normal tropes of death metal music, instead providing albums that are consistently raw and unfiltered, especially in the lyrics, a lot of which ... read more

This could've easily been split into two EPs and it would've been way better. I seriously don't know what the point of putting the same 5 songs in both black metal and chamber versions does or represents at all. It's an interesting and cool concept, yes, but when put together into an album back-to-back it just feels underwhelming and like a weird passing thought that for some reason got turned into an album.

This is like the EATEOT of vaporwave, immortalizing a place lost to time, yet so vaguely familiar. It's haunting, almost, the deep rooted nostalgia lost within the lonely, isolating atmosphere of this record. It's a distinctly memorable experience that makes this standout, and while I may not love it, the experience was nonetheless unique and fascinating.

A genuinely great record from Death with fantastic instrumentation and thoughtful political commentary to back it up. This is more up my alley, don't tell me how miserable hell is, tell me how corrupt and terrible real life is, woo! Anyways this album is their most underrated and that's the tea

I'll start this off by saying I didn't hear a single word said during this album. Well, that's a bit of a lie. The only track I heard the lyrics for was "GOD OF LOVE", since it had the lyrics available on Spotify, and that was pretty much enough for me, as the sound of this project is so encompassing and enveloping I didn't feel as though I needed to hear what was being said for the message to not ring overwhelmingly clear. The whole atmosphere of "H.A.Q.Q." is quite unlike ... read more

An improvement from "Scream Bloody Gore" on all fronts. This is true death metal right here, and it is intense. The vocals are deep and menacing, the instrumentation, specifically the drums, are punchy and consistent, and the guitarwork is unbelievable. Absolutely worth checking out.

Would've been great if the vocalist didn't sound like he was singing with food in his mouth

Very dreamy and atmospheric, but at 2 hours in length many tracks here just overstayed their welcome for me and felt monotonous. I really wanted to love this but the extremely repetitive (even by telepath standards) nature combined with my own increasing exhaustion as I went through the album caused this to become something of a chore to get through at times. Still absolutely worth checking out though, especially if you're into this specific brand of vaporwave.

Finally got around to checking this one out and surprise, it's great! Just a really strong and influential set of vaporwave tracks that set a lot of the groundwork of what was to come for the genre. Not only that, but some of these songs (obviously including the second track), have become iconic and well known songs online, so it was cool to see those here as well. I'm surprised by the people trying to bash the merit of this album by calling it uncreative or like it's just repetitive samples, ... read more

A pretty playful and cute live album from twenty one pilots. Every song here features a creative and fun reworking of some of their most popular and classic tracks, and listening through the set was a very nostalgic experience for me, as I haven't heard a few of these in some time. It's not great, but I had a good time listening to it and sometimes that's all you need out of music.

Simply wonderful. The instrumentation is warm and relaxing, pairing the laidback tone of the vocals in a way that really puts me at ease. The whole thing just feels like this peaceful day out at the beach. I just love the mellow, summery feeling of this album.

Korean trap is what I live for
