PARTYNEXTDOOR - $ome $exy $ongs 4 U
30

Completely structureless flavourless rnb without any hint of the soul, reminds me of boiled chicken. Chicken which can and HAS been cooked with perfect gourmet quality a dozen times over already ffs, so WHY???

I really don't like making negative reviews, even for Drake who I genuinely don't care to hate at all tbh, even with my own bias towards, (of course) guess who, Kendrick who has made some of my favourite music. I genuinely don't like rating in bad faith which is annoying ... read more

The Beach Boys - The Smile Sessions
100

...People really rated this compilation including the second disk demos and bonus tracks? 💔💔💔

Jesus christ...

Anyways, this is peak, one big fat ass review one day

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
90

Very good. The concept of the album didn't do anything for me, but considering this was one of the first to do such a thing, it doesn't deduct from this great little collection of songs.

Is this a track for track perfect killer? No, but very close to it!

Very enjoyable with some of the most iconic and greatest songs ever on this

JPEGMAFIA - NOT ON VETERAN!
95

I miss veteran era peggy, super nostalgic

I'll write something better later at some point, 2 lazy rn. for now - MAN

These cuts are some of my favourite JPEGMAFIA tracks ever, the first five run of tracks were singles I used to listen to a BUNCH just individually before I discovered this sorta release ep thingy

Peggy in this era used to have a very, "rough" industrial(?) sound that was sorta insufferable on black ben carson t later on properly made more catchy while retaining ... read more

Prince - Sign "☮︎" the Times
100

Again, another little flower I'll leave as a "mark" to remind myself to come back here, because I have too much of a damn catalogue to really speak all my thoughts on this extreme masterpiece of an album, which itself is arguably my favourite album of all time as well..

This album is incredibly special, and while not the absolute track for track maximalist hitter like purple rain, it's incredibly close, and the highs on the experience of this album I feel are just... Some ... read more

長谷川白紙 [Hakushi Hasegawa] - 夢の骨が襲いかかる! [Bones of Dreams Attacked!]
80

Well, this is a little awkward... I guess this is my second favourite album from Hakushi, oops

Hakushi is well known for their eccentric batshit insane jazzy production, their three big notable releases (beside from their wonderful standalone singles) being the "Somoku Hodo" EP, and the two LP's "Air Ni Ni" and "Mahogakko.

This album is quite the black sheep, as this project offers a stripped down album with only a piano and hakushi's singing. This is VERY ... read more

ShibayanRecords - Mágico Catástrofe
95

I always thought the Yellow Magical Orchestra and touhou artists/music have had very similar feeling melodies and, idk, just, "vibe", this album sorta gives me a little more confidence in that comparision

Now of course, I'm not a touhou expert so I can't tell if these are rearrangment of Zun's OG touhou tracks or all complete original shibahan record stuff - regardless, what is on display on this album is extremely excellent stuff,

I don't know electronic genres ... read more

LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
90

Sounds like if you forced Prince & New Order/Joy Division to collab together and forced to use their synths as much as possible to my ears lol

Throughly impressed, I can do without "drunk girls" which sounds like a really desperate radio hit, especially compared with the rest of the songs here which are VERY VERY VERY good, especially "dance yrself clean" which very much holds up to the hype that surrounds it. So much so that having it be the first track makes the rest ... read more

Prince - For You
80

????????????????????????????????????????????????????

THIS IS THE 69 AND 74 DEBUT?

THIS IS THE ALBUM THAT IVE HEARD COUNTLESS TIMES BE CALLED PRINCE'S "MEH" DEBUT?

Okay, well, admittedly, this album is nowhere near the peaks of say "Sign o the times" or of course, "Purple Rain", BUT STILL, DAMN

Prince on this album isn't the legendary musician formally known as Prince, O(+>, or even the legendary: Purple Yoda 💜👽

Prince here on this album is ... read more

MILGRAM - The Purge March
100

SHE DID NOTHING WRONG

Also easily my favourite song from milgram, super cheesy but stupid catchy like candy

MILGRAM - Tear Drop
30

who decided that a tropical house ass beat for this song was the move

The Cure - Pornography
99

warning i suppose: mentions of suicide, sweet

One of my favourite and my second favourite album from the cure. Only problem is that I can only listen to this when am in an incredibly awful mental state, and if not - I end up triggering such a state by listening to this :')

For that, one point off for you Mr. Smith! (still a masterpiece though)

The songs on this have the cures best drum work, super aggressive and relentless, almost never stopping for a moment. It sounds like drummer is ... read more

Yoshiko Kishino - bossa nostalgia
90

Shoutout & big ty to the homie @fym for his review and for adding this to the site :D, saw it and thought I needed me something nice to help me chill... and i not disappoint at all people... Yeeeessh...

I was expecting something akin to a folky bossa nova cut, with some pretty sung female japanese vocals and some nice guitar- but, nah. What we got here instead is a... "Smooth jazz(?)" (I believe) album with a lot of those bossa nova parts interspersed, and as someone who as of ... read more

Saint Pepsi - Hit Vibes
95

One of the best future funk albums - if not the best!

Released back when future funk still had much of it's roots in vaporwave and wasn't just seasonless weeaboo french house and nu disco :'). This album stands its ground and despite being from such a disposable postmodern genre: ironically stands up straight still as a classic album regardless.

It's infectious, repetitive, simple, and so hypnotic

In my honest opinion? This album even rivals other great albums outside ... read more

95

Prince, you're really annoying. I am sure it has been written before but why is a song about doing your older sister so damn GROOVY? DAMN

Hits hits hits hits hits hits, and more hits. Such a groovy and (ha) dirty album, charismatic, and so funky. It's nearly impossible to listen to this without tapping my foot atleast a little

Just another great album from Prince, light, short, and super to the point. Just some really great 80s funk, the synth and genre blending too is just mwah. ... read more

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
100

Art like this is just... Just so good

I plan on writing a full academic essay on "good bad" art like this one day, so only my brief love filled thoughts for now -

This album, as one of my dear friends told me "sounds like you're being attack in an allyway", and honestly, it's so funny. This whole album and the way it interacts with others, the discussion, all the angry responses condemning others for liking such a putrid piece of art, all the weirdos who like ... read more

折戸伸治 [Shinji Orito] - Kanon Original Soundtrack
100

So peaceful, so quaint, just so amazing,

Listening to this instantly makes me feel like I am home for a snowy winter break again ♡

Chestnut Bakery - Diaries
75

I love you mr snowball!

New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies
85

Ah, how can I forget? The very band I named my stupid account after.

...What a weird one. This will be a weird review for a weird band and weird album, and just my sorta thoughts on this band overall

New order is a very inconsistent band to me, having some of the highest highs in music ever, yet, they have never had a single proper LP that is actually a proper hit for hit masterpiece that I could easily consider my one of my favourite albums despite being one of my favourite bands... ... read more

On Prince - Sign "☮︎" the Times
"Oh dude that'll be so sick to think of what you'll think of Prince! I have been thinking of getting to the whole soulquarian cast vice versa after Prince lol, so it's like we're swapping albums/artists? Very fun I listened to D'angelo's big hit, "untitled' and man, I can hear the Prince influence personally. I'm personally excited to read your perspective on Prince as you're sorta going backwards to see where he may sound like D'angelo to you instead x) Also, pardon me, here, @fym - hopefully that works, not super sure lol yippe"
On ShibayanRecords - Mágico Catástrofe
"Oh it for sure is very different still lol, but I just personally felt that the songwriting on here had a sorta jazzy/funky... "Twang" to it. I could be lowkey hallucinating the jazz/funk though, but idc since I was still dancin to this album regardless"
On B307's review of Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
"While I often don't always agree with your points and conclusions for music (which is a good thing!), a lot of your reviews have really well done writing in regards to illustrating those well regardless. This also makes for really good entertaining reads too in general which makes for suprisingly super easy reads This review heped make me see my personal least favourite album from Kendrick from another very different perspective from my own, loved it! lowkey is inspiring me to do a relisten again with some new notes Great stuff B307! Keep being all "pretentious", it's doing well imo :)"
On MILGRAM - Tear Drop
"THATS SO SPOT ON 😭"
On Saint Pepsi - Hit Vibes
"A lot of my enjoyment of this album comes from my taste being shaped heavy from being big into the vaporwave scene when that was way bigger in the 2010s. So any kind of vaporwave related or sounding thing is a very big yumyum for me... And, well, there are some cuts here that are those real old school slowed down vaporwave tracks which on this album I absolutelyyy ADORE, but I wouldn't personally be sure if others would like much if not dislike LOL Based on your taste & reviews I've scoured, and my overall gut feeling - I think you'd find maybe the production lacking orrrrr maybe that the grooves on here too stilted maybeeeeee? Idk tbh LOL but something for sure 😭 That's just my guess though hehe 💔🐶"
On Yoshiko Kishino - bossa nostalgia
"I'm glad, thank you for giving me the chance to discover this great album to begin with!"
On Saint Pepsi - Hit Vibes
"I look forward to the review if and when you ever do listen to this! I am predicting a... 4 or 5 outta 10 if you do, very excited to see :D"
