This album feels like a slow, peaceful death. Laying on the ground, staring up at the seemingly endless expanse of tree branches that obscure the wintery skies above me, I lay as I slowly bleed out.

For what it's worth... uh... Hey Big Man is kind of a banger?

Um... yeah sure! Vocals mix together a bit awkwardly with the instrumentals, but it's a nice time and I liked it.

Sweet, fun, and beautiful, Fuyuu Kuukan is not only a key album in both city pop and synthpop, but it's a groundbreaking release in both genres, as well. The vocal performances are sensual and sweet, while also showcasing a tasteful mixture of synths, guitar solos, and jazzy elements that is rarely done in such a clean and groovy fashion. The production was ahead of its time in so many ways, and everything comes together wonderfully. Do NOT miss out on this one.

I don't know, maybe this is a me problem but this kinda brought my mood down and made me feel really dreary and sad, which isn't what I like to feel when listening to music :(

A very calm, tranquil collection of field recordings. It seems like these records were pushed out in the 70s as a multi-purpose sort of thing, either for working, sleeping, meditating, etc. and the sound definitely seems to be fitting for that sort of thing. The two halves here make up about an hour of music, neither really going anywhere. Both tracks as stationary as the world it depicts; the first half being one of calm rivers with sailboats passing silently by, the second of a bubbling ... read more

Some genuinely amazing songs mixed in with some of the worst pop songs of the decade. Since everyone has already written at length about everything this does wrong, I'll just say this: when he tries, when he puts in the effort in the writing and the singing, Ed Sheeran can actually make a pretty sweet song.

Extremely boring and basic song structures, with songwriting that couldn't be any more on the nose and uninteresting. Nothing about this stands out in any noteworthy ways, and I was quite honestly just very bored by this. Records like this are the main reason why I always hesitate whenever I see a release tagged as indie. To throw a positive out there, I think "Little Moth" is a cute song and I recommend it.

"dont rate this"
"you shouldn't rate this she was only 12"

bitch get out of my way i will eat your drywall 😂😂 tbh...! 😲

Reminded me how epic fish are

it fills me with the warm fuzzy feelings :)
Still to this day a wonderful little soundtrack. Even if you didn't grow up with this film, the lovely, laidback jazz is still likely to put a smile on anyone's face. Can't wait to see this one again once Christmas rolls around.

This modern classical piece, while relatively inaccessible due to its atonal, sparse nature and its demanding runtime, sounds oddly hypnotic and intriguing to my ear. It somehow manages to capture simple, ordinary mundanities in a way that feels so mysterious and, at times, beautiful. It conjured a lot of images in my head, an abstraction of non-shapes that constantly contorted and folded in on themselves, a grainy looking room, akin to living inside of an old black and white photograph, the ... read more

It clicked. Yes, I finally am able to say that I "get" A Love Supreme, and thus, I'd love to give this another writeup! To put it in the simplest of terms, A Love Supreme is a spiritual odyssey. Starting off with this grand and magnificent intro, Coltrane's sax playing immediately sets the scene and commands the listener's attention, as the fluttering cymbals and standup bass make way for Acknowledgement's off-kilter drums. That might just be the first thing that will ... read more

Often times, as someone that used to spend a lot of time exploring "underground" music and artists, I've found that a lot of artists whose music I used to hail as incredible works of art have turned out to be nothing more than slightly below average artists trying to make it big despite having zero know-how when it comes to the ways of production, mixing, and sometimes even singing. Then an artist like Parannoul comes around. An anonymous Korean student whose fascinating mix of ... read more

this actually made my ears ache

wtf the serial experiments lain song was on spotify this entire time

Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday... is a short, entertaining enough listen filled with pretty vocals, nice guitarwork, and lyrics that toe the line between being relatable and pretty damn melodramatic. There's better stuff out there.

Well, I'd say it's about time for an updated review. A proper one this time.
Deathconsciousness is possibly the most dark, bleak, and utterly hopeless record I've ever come across. Everything from its suffocating use of reverb, its gloomy drones, and its drowned vocal performances all fill the listener with a sense of dread and anguish. Those who look into what's actually being said will be able to uncover an even deeper layer to this album's already pretty devastating concept, but even just ... read more

this has been such a painfully boring year for music it's not even funny

You'd be hard-pressed to find another record this year that feels this beautiful, panoramic and atmospheric. It takes what was already great about Titanic Rising and amplifies it, creating a record that I, for the first time in a long time, really found myself taken in and hypnotized by. I still don't find Natalie's vocals to be all that unique, and I had a bit of trouble connecting with the songwriting, but other than that it's amazing.
