Daft Punk Alive 2007
I'm not even joking when I say this is one of the best live albums ever. 		5.0

It's important to stay connected with the youth. First 3 tracks here are also genuinely great lmao		3.5

The soundtrack to Blade Runner 2049 if it was created by the Duffer brothers for Netflix. 		2.0

HMLTD The Worm
I genuinely would have preferred a West Of Eden Part II over this... but it's so bizarre, narrative-driven, over-the-top, and catchy that I can't hate it, I just can't. The themes of climate and capitalist destruction are not new, but they're as relevant and compelling as ever. What really elevates this out of the prog muck is how the narrative, concept, and execution align: the sheer number of styles and genres that are devoured by the worm are impressive. More importantly, the worm's short lifespan - clocking in a little over 40 minutes - shows real restraint. In the hands of a lesser band this could have easily become a bloated monstrosity		4.0

JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown Scaring the Hoes
This feels like the first time you played GTAV in 2013: you are overstimulated, driving unsafe at any speed, cops are trying to extrajudicially repossess your body, Danny Brown is dropping bars as you smash through traffic, pedestrians, picket fences, sirens blaring, NPCs staring in disbelief, the world is a blur on your high definition TV, your speakers aren't loud enough, you hit the wrong button and Franklin is exiting the car while going 130mph on the wrong side of the road. You reload and do it again. rGoing to be processing this for awhile, the samples are dense, bars are wild, production is out of the park. The vibes are incredible. 		4.5

DJ Richard Dies Iræ Xerox
Still find myself coming back to this album 5 years later. It's such an interesting dark, downturned, electronic record. So much dark electronica revolves around, and depends upon, bombast. Here that's traded for quietness and introspection. It's still dark, the vibes are evil: wrath, judgement, traps and pitfalls, stalkers and vanguard. If it were more loud and aggressive then cuts would be found on "Cyberpunk" and pentagram-emblazed playlists all over the web. But it's too smart for that. It's an empty club, a lonely drive home, you, alone with your thoughts, once again. It's incredible. 		4.5

Lorna Shore Pain Remains
Sorry haters, this rules. Don't really care if it's not original or unique, it targets the lizard part of my brain that wants something loud and extraordinarily, melodramatically dramatic. The music equivalent of getting real high and blasting an hour away playing Doom. 		3.5
