how are we doing everyone | 10 |  | Plus-Tech Squeeze Box Cartoom!
Ideas fly by every 10 seconds. Cartooom is a high-energy sugar rush that refuses to let up. Jumping with reckless abandon from style to style, this is an absolute treat on good headphones. If it were any longer, it could be grating - thankfully this clocks in at a short 28 minutes.
3.5/5 | 9 |  | Capsule (JPN) SF-Sound Furniture
Just before their slide into electropop. SF is a classic early example of the bands work. From high energy jazzy-pop to bossanova to the smooth beats of Portable Airport, this is a great front to back listen.
3.5/5 | 8 |  | Deerhoof Milk Man
Fun but a little scary. Like a haunted house, but twinklier.
4/5 | 7 |  | Pig Destroyer Terrifyer
Nonstop brutal beatdown. Feels uneasy. Anxiety inducing. Good for a fright
4/5 | 6 |  | Green Day American Idiot
Pop-punk is an oxymoron, right? Green Day stands tall at their peak with radio ready hook heavy hits and a surprising number of epics. (Two, which is just two more than any pop-punk album tends to have)
4/5 | 5 |  | Neurosis The Eye Of Every Storm
Slow and cold, brooding, every move intentional and expertly placed. For feeling angy at the world.
4/5 | 4 |  | Beltaine Rockhill
Beautiful celtic music on all accounts. Sounds crisp. Like touching grass or taking flight.
4/5 | 3 |  | Tokyo Jihen Kyoiku
Jazzy J-Rock, tone all over the place. Ringo Shiina crows, shouts and sings her ass off on every track.
4/5 | 2 |  | The Go! Team Thunder, Lightning, Strike
Playground music. You carry your youth with you. Playful harmonicas, xylophones, soul samples bring a sense of joy to your life through the speakers. It’s a collage, not necessarily in order - thunder, lightning strike. Anachronistic. Dawg I love this band so fuckin much
4/5 | 1 |  | Soundtrack (Video Game) Katamari Damacy soundtrack
To pigeonhole it, shibuya-kei. But it feels so much bigger than that. It is action packed, it is sweet, it is tense, it is silly, it is tender, and somehow it’s all ‘video game music’. Jazz, lounge, rock, electro-pop - it’s a little bit of everything, and it’s all very quality.
I know you love me
I wanna wad you up into my life
Let's roll up to be a single star in the sky
