 | Hawks Thanks for the heads up buddy!! :]
|
| Hawks An hour long??? That seems like overkill lmao.
|
 | Futures see those are the two i definitely remember liking haha. rest of the album i don't recall too much. will give it a fresh listen!
|
| Futures totally agree there man. garden route was my least favorite of the full tracks but still really dug it. more of ordinary people b-side but a good song still. i need to revisit ordinary because i don't remember much other than being let down.
|
| Futures my man! special album, thinking of a 5. heathen is just unreal. but also yeah winona and amethyst. it's got everything i'm looking for. brutality, catchiness, emotion, beauty in equal parts. love how they pull in their influences into their signature sound. such a one of a kind album that could only come from them. i had lost faith they had this in them!
|
| Hawks Nah, don't feel that way bro. If you love it, you love it, no shame in handing out 4.5s lol.
|
| Hawks NICE!!! Phobos Monolith is their best, but whole discog rules.
|
| Hawks I think you'll love them hard.
|
| Hawks I'll let you know what I think later today bro!
|
| Hawks Looks right up my alley! Will jam it today brother.
|
| Hawks If you're digging BAN, I'd say try out Mare Cognitum's discog next for sure.
|
| Hawks Check my new review, I think its something you'd dig!
|
| Hawks You have to give me access to the document bro! Go to the right hand corner, go to details and just access to anyone with the link. :]
|
| Hawks You're the man!!! Will take a look at it now.
|
| Hawks It's easy lol. If you have any issues, just let me know!
|
| Hawks Just make sure it's in a Google doc and also make sure that I have access to view it. :]
|
| Hawks Sounds good brother!
|
| Hawks As many words as you want! Try to have it to me by Tuesday of next week?
|
| Hawks Hey buddy, would you be interested in writing a blurb for Crippling Alcoholism for the release of the month post?
|
| Futures yeah man what a bummer haha. almost nothing like their first two. not getting much traction here either. that emo wave just crashed and burned hard. nobody is even interested in one of the best coming back lol
|
| Futures man awful dude. glad to hear you're getting better. thanks man, appreciate that. felt a void needed to be filled and thought i'd give it a shot. hope i prove myself worthy haha.
|
| Futures oh my god man sorry to hear that! how did that end up happening? hope you feel better soon dude, those are nothing to mess with. i've been good, very much enjoying my new contrib status! definitely keeping me busy lol
|
| Futures haha! you are right. been busy immersing myself in my new contributor role! got a new one dropping tonight. but soon for sure. how have you been man?
|
 | cylinder Glad you enjoyed it, I agree it's how they should teach at schools! haha. have you heard Long Legged Larry? if so, how do you feel about that one? i'm not sure how i feel about this kids' stuff tbh. but i guess i'm not really the target demographic XD i guess it's cool he's using his skills for something different. and i suppose when you've spent your whole career doing really dense, edgy stuff, it's probably refreshing.
|
| cylinder I agree with that for sure! and here i'll send ya the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRHqjDnEFiE
|
| cylinder Ah that makes sense haha i mean why would i be wearing some random lab coat anyway XD. i liked the last one a little better than ITS, still didn't really win me over tho. his performance is great as usual but there just seems to be some urgency missing these days. that said, i LOVED all the features. especially Open Mike Eagle and Lupe Fiasco. have you heard Roadwork Rappin??
|
| cylinder Yeah das me. And yeah I was stoked to finally have an excuse to bring the lab coat out haha that?s the lab coat Aes made for Integrated Tech Solutions
|
| cylinder Hey man, check this out: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNrijErYqi6/?igsh=MTJqZDltOTVscDg5Yw==
|
 | ashcrash9 pssst mods wouldn't want me sharing this here due to ~the schism~ but I also **** with the new Armed LP. give a brotha's rev some eyes https://tinyurl.com/dancoreunlimited
|
| Futures dude nice! i got static, clarity and futures in colored vinyl they did about a decade ago. wonder what they're worth haha. after my back to back reviews i kinda burned myself out on music for a bit there. but i never heard birds in row actually (been on the list for a while) and threw the first album on. really dug it a lot! reminded me of like converge mixed with departures. t/t and walter freeman were my favs.
|
| Futures oh hey i'm alive lol. suffocation or gorguts can't go wrong there man! both all timers.
|
| Futures yeah tons of larsens and stuff out here haha. one cool thing as a very young kid i lived in italy for a few years because my dad was stationed in the navy. definitely need to go back sometime! and yes cryptopsy rule hard! dude you've gotta hit up suffocation next, essential listening. my fav dm band for sure.
|
| Futures damn crazy man! yeah just tons of scandinevian heritage here, i even live near a small town called scandinavia! i'm not myself but i just love learning of different cultures. i'm not myself just respect the culture, seems cool to me! i'm mostly french canadian mix myself. and yeah traveling ain't cheap for sure lol. def want to get over there sometime though. and if you ever make it over i got a spare room for ya!
|
| Futures wisconsin in the states! lots of norwegian ancestory up here finally enough haha! you ever been the us?
|
| Futures ah nice dude that's awesome! you like it over there? seems like a beautiful place. definitely want to visit someday. i will keep that album in mind when i find some time to properly absorb it haha. and please do let me know if you need anything writing wise friend!
|
| Futures too kind man, thank you! and i never would've known about english not being your first language! where you from if you don't mind? and i saw that album was thinking of listening! if you ever want to write something, hit me up. i'd be happy to help proofread or whatever.
|
| Futures hell yeah sounds great man! and glad you dug both my revs and the albums! much appreciated. gonna try and keep this writing thing going.
|
| Futures much appreciated man! hope you had a good trip.
|
| Futures i will have to get on both of those eventually my friend! btw check out deadguy! surprised you haven't heard them haha. just dropped a rev for the new one but get on their debut!
|
| Futures oh yeah dude i am hollywood is an all timer! and lower definition i had on my list, i'll have to get to them soon! and that is correct haha. just put it off because it's an hour long so i never got around to it. worth the time investment i suppose?
|
| Futures totally agree with all that and i dipped after mothership since it felt like a waste of time so i imagine it got worse lol. btw i know you dig that of machines album, recent listen for me and so much dbm 1 vibes. absolutely loved it! gave me that fix that i was sorely missing.
|
| Futures man i'd absolutely take a dbm 3. i am totally with ya, dbm 1 for me is the mix of nostalgia and actually lasting the test of time. you know i'll turn it on in the car in a bit and belt out the hooks haha! tillian era has never done anything for me and just continually got worse with mess's horrendous lyrics. awkward is actually a top dgd song for me though somehow, the poppy stuff works but the heavy stuff never did with tillian.
|
| Futures oh absolutely man! that is a special album to me, one of the ones i overplayed to hell during a good time in my life but still get the same out of it. one of my favorite vocal performances of all time.
|
| Futures i've come to realize i really dig your taste bro haha. feel like we align pretty well.
|
 | Wilt Yes! That's the shirt
|
| Wilt The Armed have a Discord if you aren't in it yet!
|
 | veninblazer haha, that's in my 5's already. Wonderful album
|
| cylinder The video for Jailbreak was super funny too haha
|
| cylinder Finally checked both those tracks, watched the music vids for em both. Damn, Jailbreak is an absolute RIPPER! What an awesome hook, and all three of them kill it. The clipping track was really cool too! Surprisingly uplifting for clipping, no? I really dug the message.
|
| cylinder I haven?t! That?s dope he collabbed w them, I gotta check that. Still haven?t checked Jailbreak either x( my bad man, I?ve been really busy lately.
|
 | JayEnder Nice RCD rating bro ;] the Static gang welcomes you with open arms
|
 | Drifter I havent heard of that? and yes that would be the appleseed cast album you rec'd me. ill check roots manuva
|
| Drifter yes! i think you were the one that rec'd me appleseed cast a few years ago right? maybe that was someone else. im open to anything
|
| Drifter khayree's just the producer and that's why i mention him. but he does have a solo album from 1997 that i haven't heard yet. could be amazing i just haven't gotten to it yet! any recs back for me?
|
| Drifter i hope you enjoy if you check the others! i tried sending that message yesterday but shout boxes are weird these days and half the time will just refresh to a blank user page for me. i appreciate you listening to my spewing lmao i cant ever stop myself
|
| Drifter yeah im sure if pac wasn't in prison when ray luv dropped he would've been on it. they've got a bunch of songs together from pac's early days as a rapper. they're also both on a song from young lay's album called Got 2 Survive!
|
| Drifter glad you're digging it! Ray Luv was actually the first person Pac became friends with when he moved to the bay area because they went to the same high school together. i wish pac was on that album but unfortunately he is not.
|
| cylinder Ah yes, you did, my bad for not getting back to you on that. I've heard one B. Dolan album but I don't think that song was on it. Will definitely give it a check today!
|
| Drifter glad you love it so much! i recently bumped it to a 5. it's so outstanding. i would say you can go for another album done by the same producer. check out ray luv's album Forever Hustlin or Mac Mall's album Illegal Business. Also, if you can find it, i would check Young Lay's Black and Dangerous before any of those. but they are all done by the same producer as Dubee. a guy named Khayree who was so incredible
|
| cylinder Yeah, the prod on Float is def an adjustment to make when you're used to his later stuff. Glad to hear you're comin around to it tho! Nice rating for cLOUDDEAD too ;)
|
| cylinder You def gotta check the self-titled 2001 comp, that's their most well-known work and a stone-cold classic of abstract hip-hop. I've still never heard anything quite like it. Cloud rap before cloud rap was a thing, lol. And that's awesome to hear you're gettin more into Float! I love Big Bang sooooo much. His best hook imo. And one of my favorite lines of his too: "If I made an angel in the snow for every rotting victim, there'd be wings to float this mothership up out the goblin system!" lol
|
| cylinder Sweeet, glad you dug it man. Btw, Doseone and Yoni Wolf are the two main members of cLOUDDEAD. Also, Doseone is featured on the Aes tracks Odessa (from the Appleseed EP) and Drawbridge (from Float)
|
| cylinder Wait no, not Spitfire, it?s the one called ?Self Explanitory.? Yeah, top 5 rap track ever for me right there.
|
| cylinder The reason I ask is because I stumbled across this really great article about Doseone and the early days of Anticon (he helped found the label). It's got some very interesting insights into those early days of abstract hip-hop. Just thought you might be interested: https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/doseone-backwoodz-studioz-all-portrait-no-chorus-interview
|
| cylinder Yes. Imo he's the second greatest rap lyricist after Aes. Check his album Hemispheres. 'Spitfire' in particular is one of my favorite rap tracks of all time. Are you familiar with the Anticon label at all? Yoni Wolf of Why?, Sole, cLOUDDEAD, Buck 65, Alias, any of those guys?
|
| cylinder Yo Lassssssssie! You into Doseone at all?
|
| JayEnder Dude Casually Dressed is one of my favorite albums of all time. That album is definitely worth a revisit ;] and yeah I'm really digging Fightstar tbh gonna give Devil's Back another full spin tonight I think.
|
| JayEnder It's a damn fine album, Sink With the Snakes into Dive is quite the one two punch to end it. Still getting into the rest so don't you worry bro should be a 4 in no time lol. Think their debut is the best honestly, sounds like the perfect blend of Thrice and Funeral For a Friend
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell hmmm i'm not going to pretend that i'm the type of girl you call more than a friend ;[[[[[
|
| JohnnyoftheWell well UH how hypothetical does this scenario need to be *ahem* DON'T CALL ME
|
 | neekafat oooooh ok will do! Yeah the Deer Leap side was incredible, should I check the whole album or just those songs??
|
| Drifter i have not heard a single denzel curry album ever. kind of avoided him for one reason or another. i?ll peep that song tho
|
| Drifter lmaoooo thats awesome. yeah art of war is fantastic. all of their Ruthless stuff is pretty great but AOW and Eternal are both 5s for me now. glad youre enjoying them : D
|
| Drifter my favorite is the art of war. double album from 1997. its quite long but its sooo sick. infinite replay value for me and i feel like its the one album of theirs where everyone comes into their own
|
| Drifter that album is sooo good bruh. my second favorite album of theirs. that cd STAYS in my car
|
| Drifter jam bone thugs n harmony m/
|
| veninblazer yeah i heard about something related to BAAO with them
|
| veninblazer pretty sure something happened where they became part of Being as an Ocean?
|
| veninblazer sorry i didnt get to this till now, i know that album and it's incredible.
|
| Drifter Sorry I listened to that song a few days ago but then life happened and I never got back to you. I think I listened to Float about 4 years ago but never jammed again. Not a huge fan of 9-5ers Anthem but I'll bump it again and def need to listen to his classic releases/some more. Nice Dubee rating (:
|
| Drifter Haha you'd be surprised the holes in my knowledge. Just recently started going through PE. And I know! Such a great song. "My Thang" is one of the best rap songs ever. The beats on the album are the real star. Khayree is such a legend. All the switch ups and live instrumentation are incredible
|
| Drifter Nice Kolya rating (: Also I think you might dig Dubee - AKA Sugawolf. Super good bay area hip hop that doesn't get enough attention outside of g funk heads
|
 | espnil comin home in 8 days prepare ur anus
|
| Drifter Throw in Hello Dearest Love and those are my highlights too! Good album. Definitely a fall album. It?s that time of the year to bump emo and pxhc babyyy
|
| Drifter Jammin rn while doing yard work. Pretty good!
|
| Drifter I shall check that right now. I know their album Mare Vitalis but it didn't do much for me. Hopefully this one will : )
|
| Drifter Ayyy. Hope you enjoy it. It's my fav or second fav emo album of all time. The back half is especially stellar
|
| Drifter I feel the urge to shill what I shill to everyone with at least vaguely similar genres rated. Check out Kolya's self titled album. 30 minutes of the best emo everrrr
|
| Drifter Heyyy sorry I took so long to check the songs. Life kinda got in the way but I listened to them and I liked Rolling Thunder the best. They reminded me of The Big Dish a lot. I really enjoy this style of music so definitely not a crazy rec to give me lol.
|
| Drifter I shall check those out tonight. I'll let you know what I think of em : )
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Oh yessss last 3 songs on that are mega comf fuel ( For Lovers is even better) oxoxbox
|
 | ComeToDaddy Also want to shoutout Pneuma by Moving Mountains if you haven't heard it, I think you'd adore them (top 3 similar artists on here are Jimmy Eat World, Bunny's Caravan and The Appleseed Cast and I can see all of them at the top of your ratings)
|
| Drifter I also love your John Martyn 5. That's not one of my favorite albums from him but still is great. Especially Small Hours wow. I saw what you said about it on your list of nostalgic songs I completely agree. I also had a bit of an obsession of him when I discovered him in early May of this year. Great memories of listening to him and playing skyrim for hours and hours.
|
| Drifter Ayyy that's a great gift. Animals has been in my top 10 albums since... 2014? Such a fantastic album. The acoustic is good but I feel like it doesn't have much identity since Stu somehow sounds the EXACT SAME as he did 10 years prior lol.
|
| Drifter Hello. I adore your taste. And you seem super chill. Let's become friends (:
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Woah there, mr. MAN glad to hear it ! the last track says the word "kiss" about 50million times so uh meet you there brb *adjusts hair*
|
 | Sowing I have precious few "discoveries" during my tenure on this site, Low Roar is definitely one of them. Glad you're digging 0 so much.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell wow sorry I fell very deeply asleep. I almost like some songs, but am not a fan of her lazy-declarative-whatevr writing style and felt the prod was pretty characterless but i'd need another listen tbh
|
 | Jom Thanks for your message -- you should be all set now. Cheers!
