The Infamous
You know the drill! Continuing the series into July, think I’ll go a little lax on the rules now. Please rec one album among your favorites, with at least a 3.8 overall average rating and at least 20 user ratings. One album per day and per user, though the latter will be to my discretion. Go go go! | | 2 |  | Katatonia
The Great Cold Distance
JULY 1 - arthropod
Ah, yes, the Swedes. I have heard about half of this, and remember being really impressed. There’s something really neat about technical bands becoming more accessible as they go on in their career, and records like this are a testament. Some songs here are infuriatingly good (Deliberation, Soil’s Song, July), but for some reason this is a little tedious to hear from start to finish. It might be because of the overtly depressing atmosphere, though that shouldn’t be considered a flaw. It’s just a bit too homogenous. The musicianship and songwriting here is great, and the vocalist’s voice, as I’ve mentioned before, is fantastic. Love the heavy riffs and pretty tones soaring over these dynamic, powerful rhythm sections. But it’s an album I’d rather hear select songs off of rather than the whole thing. Just a tad inconsistent.

Fifteen Counts of Arson
JULY 2 - jrlikestodance
Crust is a really cool sound, I like the melding of sludge and punk here. I do wish this was on streaming, as I hate hearing albums on YouTube, and am not sure if that’s painting my reaction unconsciously - but I don’t know how to feel about the structure of this album. There’s lots of starts and stops, and it feels like the shorter songs are more-so unfinished ideas, which I’m not too keen on. The production works for the most part, but can get a bit too muddy in places. Certain songs here do kick ass, and there’s some mean, mean riffs. It can sound a tad homogeneous even though it’s a shorter record - I thought I’d heard 25 minutes but it had only been around 13. 24 tracks of this is a bit of a gamble. It feels a little grating to listen to after a bit. If there were fewer songs but with more full-fledged songwriting, I’d be a bigger fan. Still a cool album, it’s like sonic ADHD.

Écailles De Lune
JULY 3 - Futures
Definitely heard of these guys, but never fully checked an album out for whatever reason. Lots to like here, the lushness and heaviness work quite well in conjunction here. The production fits well, though I was a bit iffy about the drum mix - it feels a bit sterile. However, the songwriting and moods displayed by the soaring guitars and vocals here definitely create a compelling sound. Great album to read to. The self-titled two parter is the clear standout, though I really love the spacey 90s throwback, aptly titled “Solar Song”. A good mix of lushness and aggression, with a lot to return to. Blackgaze is a thing of beauty when executed well. *currently stoned writing this, and I just muttered several expletives while shoving my earbuds in deeper at several points (Pt. 2 is a masterpiece).

The Unseen
JULY 4 - mryrtmrnfoxxxy
This is a very strange mixed bag to me. I’ve heard a bit of Quas, but was so turned off by his voice that I didn’t return until now. His voice is still kinda grating, it’s like Eminem at his most annoying swallowing helium and rapping braggadocious bars - it’s like hearing an annoying child brag like he’s Avon Barksdale. This works in the capacity of being a “fun” album since the bars ARE humorous, but to an extent - the voice is just too annoying. The production is where this album really shines, Madlib is definitely one of the best hip-hop producers of our time and has produced some of my very favorite songs. He does a solid job here, I like the stream-of-consciousness style of production and the integration of different old-school genres. But as a rapper and songwriter… meh. It’s like Madvillainy-lite. This works as a nice chill record reminiscent of Adult Swim, but damn that voice.
3.2/5 | | 6 |  | Stereolab
Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements
JULY 5 - gabba
Man, Stereolab is like a musical institution. The amount of genres and vibes they’re able to integrate into their music is staggering. I’ve only really dove into Dots and Loops, but this one is a great second impression. It feels a lot more alt. rock and shoegaze inspired, particularly bringing to mind Loveless. I love how airy their music is, without jettisoning the knack for interesting songwriting and experimental structures. I dig the production here, it truly feels like space rock, and I adore Laetitia’s vocals. They complement the music like sonic PB&J. Jenny Ondioline, what a song that is! Gotta dive into more of their albums; I love how trance-inducing and sensual their sound is, especially when under the influence (which I was).

Dance With Me
JULY 6 - budgie
This is some pretty great, off-the-wall punk that sounds like it’s from the 80s British heyday, and it grew on me quite a bit. I’ll be honest, the necrophilia song really put me off, but once I stopped clutching my pearls like a grandmother, I had a lot of fun with this one. I really love the smooth production here reminiscent of the era - everything’s clear and banging. The songs are tight and catchy, and the musicianship and chemistry are quite apparent across these brisk 25 minutes. Great bass and guitar tones, and the singer does a fine job too. It’s not the most magnetic sound in the world, but it’s a good time.
3.6/5 | | 8 |  | Cursive
Domestica
JULY 7 - Drifter
I’ve been through many relationships and they’ve never really devastated me after ending, so sappy breakup records irk me. This is very well done, however. The melding of indie + post-hardcore with the honest delivery and finesse displayed on this record is very compelling - it’s like a mix of Weezer and Unwound that I think works very well. Very neat guitar-work and solid rhythm sections here, and I dig the vocals too. I particularly love how, through all the issues the couple this record alludes to has, they stay together. I’ve been on the receiving and giving end of some toxic relationships, so maybe that’s why this record hits a little close to home. But it’s not overly sappy; it’s more objective, which gives the catchy music much more credence. It felt like a nice 2000s throwback therapy session, after which I concluded that I need to stop going out with hot psycho girls. Thanks, Cursive!

A Farewell To Kings
JULY 8 - Zac124
Ah yes, my favorite nerds. I probably hollered and hooted ten times during the first two songs alone. When it comes to musicianship + songwriting in prog, these guys have virtually no equal. The worlds they’re able to paint with their music and words are just incredible - this is how you make technical music genuinely entertaining. Geddy, Neil, and Alex are all absolute masters at their craft, though that doesn’t need to be stated at this point. Xanadu… man, even mentioning that song brings a tear to my eye, but everything here is pretty much unimpeachable. Fantastic melodies and progressions, and each member has moments to show off their talents in spades. Love these guys, need to do a proper dive into their overwhelming discography one day.
4.3/5 | | 10 |  | Hooded Menace
Fulfill the Curse
JULY 9 - Hawks
Well, damn, this is some really good nightmare metal; flavors of death, doom, gothic + growls from a seemingly undead vocalist recounting some of the most bizarre and grisly horror tales. I had a feeling this kind of thing might be a bit outside of my wheelhouse. But the guitar-work here, sweet Lord - is that a glorious muff pedal I hear?! Yeah, this fucking owns. It’s heavy, it’s dark, it’s mean, it’s downright terrifying, and the musicianship and production here are virtually faultless. The growls work here too, and thankfully, I couldn’t really discern the campy lyrics, through the mind-melting sludgy dirge of these riffs. This is like discovering a great new flavor of ice cream. I would commit crimes for that guitar tone.
4.0/5 | | 11 |  | Death (USA-MI)
...For the Whole World to See
JULY 10 - Uzumaki
What the hell, dude - a proto-punk band of black brothers in the 70s?! And it wasn’t released until over three decades later?! AND it kicks ass?!? Man, from the pristine production to the infectious energy and great songwriting, this is such a fun ride. It infuriates me that this wasn’t released shortly after it was recorded. Sure, there’s tropes of familiarity here, but these guys were clearly trailblazers, so the finesse they do this with is impeccable. I’m getting a mix of Led Zeppelin and Bad Brains here, which is such a great formula, but these guys are also their own thing. The earnest lyricism and vocals combine with the excellent musical chemistry to monstrous effect, and the entire thing is over in less than 30 minutes. Definitely gonna be a fixture for my road playlist. I really pray these guys get the enormous flowers they’re due. Fan-fucking-tastic!
4.3/5 | | 12 |  | Cult of Luna
Salvation
JULY 11 - Chippe
My second exposure to CoL after Mariner, which was a decent record. I do like post-metal, but it’s a genre that skirts a fine line between incredible and aimless. I like what I’m hearing here; the progressions from the mellow electronic ambient sections to the uproarious climaxes are decent, and the textures and melodies are easy on the ears. I will say, I find the vocalist to be the weak link here, similar to Mariner. He seems to be operating on one note throughout this record, and it’s a bit off-putting - whatever the antonym of versatile is, the vocalist embodies it. The production is decent for the most part, but still feels a little over-compressed like in Mariner. Still an alright record, keeping in mind the aforementioned flaws.
3.3/5 | | 13 |  | Fiona Apple
When the Pawn...
JULY 12 - PanosChris
I don’t know what it is about Ms. Apple, but I’ve never quite been crazy about her music. Her delivery always seemed condescending and uncharismatic to me. She’s clearly a savant, I mean, even attempting to start a discography at such a young age, especially one this musically sophisticated - I have to give her props. And that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy this, because there were moments here I liked. I can appreciate the eclectic mix of jazz rock, lounge, and trip-hop displayed here under the guise of pop. The musicianship is solid, and so are her performances. Yet, I just don’t connect with it all too well, and got pretty bored towards the end.
3.1/5 | | 14 |  | This Heat
This Heat
JULY 13 - Demon of the Fall
This Heat are definitely an attention-demanding group. Deceit was a record that really surprised me, and though it had some missteps, I really enjoyed how they conveyed the scariness of nuclear warfare with their avant-garde explorations into post-punk. They do seem to primarily make mood music, which is even more so the case on this record. The formlessness and dread that permeates this album definitely lends itself into more ambient territory, and while I did like some musical images portrayed here, I couldn’t help feeling a little miffed. Like I’d rather be hearing anything else, any actual songs. There’s a very lonely, cynical vibe here, which seems to be the intent, and it’s nailed. Does that make it super interesting or worth returning to? Meh. Their follow-up definitely expands upon the strengths here. Unnerving, but boring. And I hate that fucking kazoo.
2.8/5 | | 15 |  | Propagandhi
Supporting Caste
JULY 14 - Dedes
I think I’ve discovered one of my least favorite types of vocalists: those who over-enunciate and over-inflect. It seems to be a common case in metalcore/twinkcore, and is unfortunately apparent on this record too. The music here is pretty cool, albeit a little busy. It feels like a pastiche of a very prominent punk scene of the 2000s, one I was never a huge fan of. The lyrics come off a bit too on-the-nose, which is obviously the case for a band with this name, though some are straight up bizarre and actually quite humorous. I won’t come back to this a lot; there’s nothing really wrong with it, but it’s just not my cup of tea.
2.9/5 | | 16 |  | BATS
The Sleep of Reason
JULY 15 - FearThyEvil
Ye, Dublin! Dang, some conflicting emotions on this one - it’s simultaneously really cool and almost offensively nerdy, like if Hum upped the humor and technicality to eleven. Regardless, I do enjoy it! These guys are clearly stalwart musicians; the chemistry and songwriting here manage to create a sound that’s both impressive and catchy. The lyrical themes are interesting, though the lyrics and delivery, while cool, can sometimes fall a little flat. I dig the production quite a bit, each instrument is given space to breathe and it’s not compressed to fuck. The vocalist sounds a little twinky, but I’m willing to cut him some slack, because the music has some seriously eargasmic moments. Something about this kinda makes me happy, I feel like I’m on The Magic School Bus. They’re literally listing codons in the end. Fuck it, this is awesome.

Raw Blue
JULY 16 - efp123
Agh, this is a perfect example of why old trends should die in the old days. Modern shoegaze/nugaze or whatever you want to call it, is really not my favorite thing. It’s like someone took the best of 90s shoegaze, melted it, and extracted the essence of it and repackaged it into whatever this artificial post-modern indulgence is. To me it’s just boring and uninspired, and has this faux-emo quality that just makes me roll my eyes hard. The vocalist couldn’t bore me more if he tried. I know these guys and the other bands are making waves as shoegaze revivalists, but alas, it just really isn’t my thing. This is like the sound of musical late-stage capitalism. Adding reverb and echo pedals isn’t the miracle answer to everything, but it’s definitely gonna help sell those records. Overproduced blandness.
2.3/5 | | 18 |  | Fates Warning
Awaken the Guardian
JULY 17 - DaveyMonsoon
80s heavy metal a la Iron Maiden and Dio is a sound that just hasn’t aged too well for me, personally. Though this is reminiscent of the former, I do enjoy the riffs and vocals here a bit. The production is still thin and reverb-heavy, characteristic of the metal sound of that era, but it doesn’t hinder the quality too much. It’s really theatrical, in big part to the vocalist, who has serious singing chops, and it’s a decent time even though it’s not usually the sound I go for.

JULY 18 - JohnnyoftheWell
At first I was going to curse you for recommending this - 4 hours?! What the hell, Johnny? But man, this is really fascinating stuff. A mix of IDM, ambient, industrial… a very exciting combination for me, personally. This thing is MASSIVE, not only in scope and scale, but in sound. The glitchy industrial parts might be my favorite section with their all-enveloping, aggressive textures, and listening to the ambient parts, like the sprawling hourlong closer, are like peering into the eye of a galaxy. Then you have some really cool and surprisingly accessible and nicely textured IDM tracks. I like how each CD is divided and brings something different to the table, but the sheer magnitude of this record is like a double-edged sword. The tiresome length is hard to justify, but this thing really captured my interest. Something very awe-inspiring, almost frightening about it.

Metaphorical Music
JULY 19 - Rowhaus
Ah, Nujabes, the curator of my study soundtrack of yore. It always kinda blows my mind that he actually made entire records, and not various one-off lo-fi hip-hop hits on YouTube. It’s strange, I sort of underestimate his records, but every time I press play, there’s something that impresses me. Sure, it can get a bit samey, and the rapping isn’t world-class, but it’s more often than not a reliable good time. Serene boom-bap with jazzy, Eastern influences is a recipe for success, and some songs here are absolutely mesmerizing (Highs 2 Lows, what a cut). It has all the ingredients to be a classic, but for some reason, it’s just not got that X factor. Though generic, it’s still solid.

Promises
JULY 20 - mkmusic1995
This is very pretty. I remember my cousin recommending it to me when it got released and hearing about the rave reviews it got, but never sat down and heard it fully. It’s like a living, breathing composition. It gives me the vibe of a late 90s/early 00s film soundtrack, which I really dig. I love that gorgeous electronic harp leitmotif, and how the surrounding music, especially Sir Pharoah with his sax, embellishes it. It’s like watching a young orchard bloom in real time. I can sit back and play this whenever, it’s very pretty and relaxing, but it can get a little too repetitive.
3.7/5 | | 22 |  | Billy Woods
History Will Absolve Me
JULY 21 - Squiggly
Billy Woods’ formula is quite fascinating. The ingredients of conscious, piercing lyrics combined with the erratic, eclectic production spanning many genres and the ghostly samples entwined in the sonic fabric of his records yields a very special sound. He almost reminds me of a modern O.C., which is a big compliment. It’s almost like hauntological rap; he’s able to paint a very ghostly, yet vivid and lifelike picture with his words over this eerie music, which seems to be a living, breathing entity. His lyricism often has very dark, powerful themes imbued into them, and coupled with the equally arresting music, it creates quite an impact. Now, replay value is perhaps my biggest takeaway with music, and I don’t know how much I’ll revisit this, but it’s definitely solid.

JULY 22 - bach
Wow. In the age of bastardized 80s trope-filled nostalgia-worshipping sledge, it’s nice to hear a pioneer from that decade show ‘em how it’s done. This truly sounds like it came out recently; the textures and atmosphere here are so layered and lush. The combination of ambient electronic flavors with more traditional jazz ones gives this such an elegant, intimate feel. It’s wonderfully produced, the acoustic instruments coexisting perfectly with the electronic ones, and even the writing here is excellent - patient, alluring, and satisfying harmonies and progressions aplenty. I first heard this while trying to go to bed, and it worked like a charm. But even when actively listening to it, especially when under the influence, it’s a real treat. *this has become one of my go-to sleep records, I really love it.
4.2/5 | | 24 |  | As Cities Burn
Come Now Sleep
JULY 23 - Futures (2)
Post-hardcore is a pretty hit or miss genre for me, and this album captures that pretty well. I like the musical ideas here - the songwriting is decent but nothing I’d come back to a lot, and the production is a tad lurid too if I’m being honest. I think my biggest gripe here, as with most bands in this genre, are the vocals. They’re a bit too whiny and melodramatic, and have that textbook over-enunciation that I have a problem with. Again, these guys are definitely technically gifted and imbue the record with some ear-grabby moments (specifically the rhythm section), but overall I don’t know how much I’ll revisit it, it’s just not my favorite kind of sound.
3.1/5 | | 25 |  | The Van Pelt
Sultans of Sentiment
JULY 24 - Drifter (2)
This has a very pleasant, laidback yet instrumentally captivating quality. It reminds me of a less intense Slint with the vocalist’s nearly spoken-word approach and the way the rhythm section and guitars intertwine in these unconventional yet interesting grooves and progressions. The production fits the music quite well, with the vocalist slightly buried under the music, which is the star of the show here. The vocalist’s voice and lyrics aren’t perfect, but there’s a charm to it - I wouldn’t mind listening to this on the radio. It does need a few more listens to gauge the replayability, but nice!
3.5/5 | | 26 |  | Bad Religion
No Control
JULY 25 - jrlikestodance (2)
When I think of the genre “punk”, this is about the sound I’d come to expect, and that isn’t necessarily a compliment or diss. This might feel like an anachronistic and blasphemous comparison, but this just reminded me a lot of Green Day (yes, sue me). I was impressed by the surprisingly clear and hi-fi sounding production, but the whole thing got a bit too homogenous for me quite quickly. I’m sure these guys were trailblazers and a massive influence on many budding punk bands, and I give them props for that. But I think I like my punk with a bit more textural grit and variety. The same rhythm with the snare every two beats, and the generic power chord progressions just didn’t grab me after a while. Not bad by any means, I would still recommend this to any punk fan or anyone willing to get into the genre.

07.09.25 | Nice take on the Stereolab album, it has the best neo-kraut jams I can think of. Check their Refried Ectoplam compilation if you’re looking for more of that sound. | Flashmobba

07.13.25 | Thank you for listening to my recommendation (Apple's 'When The Pawn...')! It breaks my little heart that you didn't feel the connection I personally have to this record, but super glad that you still gave it a whirl and had a positive-leaning impression of it. Cheers + you've convinced me through your writing to give some of these records a spin myself — huge thank you nonetheless, keep rocking— | Dedes
07.13.25 | Alcest fucking RULE
Personal fav is Kodama but Ecailles is really good if you still prefer a small element of fuzzy abrasive BM energy. Kodama in truth is basically just post-rock/post-metal with the same mood as previous records | Dedes
07.13.25 | Also ty for reminding me I gotta deep dive more Hooded Menace, love The Tritonus Bell for all it's fun cornball doom influences and I did kinda dig Darkness Drips Forth years ago when I jammed it | Flashmobba
07.13.25 | thanks for the kind words, pan, always glad to discover new music and put others on to some myself! | Flashmobba
07.15.25 | another banger, s/o fear | FearThyEvil
07.16.25 | Very glad you enjoy it! I always debate fiving that album but keeping at a 4.5 for now. | Dedes
07.16.25 | Tbh the massive enunciation is a sizeable portion of why I love Propaghandi
Man has this distintinctive wail where you can hear those glorious maple lovers accent potently through his voice
IG I get it, and they're usually fairly direct/on the nose with their lyrics too but tbh I think that's in the essence of punk to be direct. | Flashmobba
07.16.25 | fair enough, just different strokes ig :) | Dedes
