This was a long time coming for Little Simz. Everything about this blew me away.Loathe I Let It In And It Took EverythingThis lived up to my expectations and then some. Glad to see this group take off with that melodic and shoegaze-y soundscape in several of the tracks here whilst balancing it with heavy and frantic riffs found in others like "Broken Vision Rhythm" (The vocals were great too). Thoroughly enjoyed "Two-Way Mirror", "Screaming", and "Heavy Is the Head..." as well. Here's hoping this is a grower.Massive Attack MezzanineMelt-Banana FetchMonobody RaytracingMovements Feel SomethingNight Verses From the Gallery of SleepNils Frahm SpacesOne of my All-time favorites. The intense build-up in the track "Says" blows me away with each listen and the use of repetition of one single key in the following track "Said and Done" is very engaging. RetrogradeMars' Soundoff sums it up perfectly.Nothing The Great DismalNujabes Metaphorical MusicNujabes Luv(sic) HexalogyPink Floyd Wish You Were HereRalph Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas TallisRalph Vaughan Williams The Lark AscendingRolo Tomassi GrievancesI dunno, I'm a little indifferent to this record so I'll just give this a 5 for now and see if it grows on me.Skyharbor Guiding LightsSlowdive SouvlakiSOUL GLO Diaspora ProblemsSweet Trip Velocity : Design : ComfortTaylor McFerrin Early RiserThank You Scientist TerraformerThe Avalanches Since I Left YouThe Contortionist LanguageAn engaging and enthralling narrative with a nice yin-yang of clean and heavy vocals and instrumentation."Language" "Thrive" and "The Parable" stand out the most for me and with each spin, it continues to grow on me. The Alan Watts inclusion at the end makes it all worth listening in the end. Ties the bow nicely on the theme of this record.The Dillinger Escape Plan DissociationThe Seatbelts Cowboy BebopToby Driver They Are the ShieldIncredible. Toby manages the instruments and vocals perfectly in this album, and the ambient sections in the intro track and throughout the album set a very majestic tone. "470 Nanometers" and "The Knot" are definitely the tracks that stand out the most, but the other songs also play an integral role in the record as well. This is looking like an AOTY for me personally. Everything just sounds so masterful and compelling each time I listen to it.TOKiMONSTA Creature DreamsCan't get enough of this EP. From beginning to end, it perfectly represents TOKiMONSTA's best works and then some. The lush vocal performances by Gavin Turek in both "Little Pleasures" and "Darkest (Dim)" alongside the instrumentations provided make for some nice, dreamy tunes. Not only that, the instrumentals such as the uplifting "Bright Shadows" and down-to-earth "Day Job" tracks also diversified how the record sounds as a whole. Overall, it sets a beautiful, sonic atmosphere that's both easy on the ears and pretty groovy. A personal favorite of mine.Uyama Hiroto Freeform JazzGoing to be perfectly honest, I absolutely love the inclusion of "Fools No Rules". It's not the usual throwaway interlude, rather it uses off-tune and sporadic jazzy elements that breathe new life into the record. This entire record is intrinsic. Yvette Young Acoustics EP 2I find myself coming back to this record a lot more than I initially did in comparison to Yvette's first EP. Quite a jump from the initial 3.5, but the riffs and lyricism became infectious after a while. The inclusion of that echoing sound definitely helps with building that atmosphere, and with some solid mathy tunes too. Lovely stuff here.4.5 superb37500 Yens AsteroA Lot Like Birds No PlaceAesop Rock The Impossible KidAhmad Jamal The AwakeningAlcest KodamaAmerican Football American FootballAviations LuminariaBeth Gibbons and The Polish National Radio Orchestra Gorecki Symphony No. 3: Symphony of Sorrowful SongBetween the Buried and Me Automata IIBleed (USA-TX) Somebody's CloserBoards of Canada Hi ScoresSomething about this EP just clicks for me. Feels like a mashup of old recorded tapes turned into a vivid musical, and stress relieving atmosphere. The song "Turquoise Hexagon Sun" utilizes a hint of ambiance and subtle voices/conversations alongside the rhythm to give the album a bit more character. Similarly, the song "Everything You Do Is A Balloon" (Which is the stand out track for me) can cause you to go into a trance with its distorted, vintage-esqe introduction and completely hook you in with the beat that follows. A very well done song. In a sense, its a very soothing and cathartic EP in general.Boards of Canada The Campfire HeadphaseBotch We Are the RomansBurial UntrueChat Pile God's CountryClint Mansell MoonCorelia NostalgiaDavid Bowie BlackstarDeftones Koi No YokanDeftones OhmsDenzel Curry Melt My Eyez See Your Future(The Extended Edition)Earthside A Dream In StaticElder (USA-MA) Innate PassageElder (USA-MA) Dead Roots StirringEver Forthright Ever ForthrightEvery Time I Die RadicalFishmans Long SeasonFlying Lotus Until the Quiet ComesFour Tet RoundsFoxing Nearer My GodFrontierer OxidizedGhost Atlas All Is in Sync...Glassjaw Our Color Green (The Singles)Glassjaw Worship and TributeGleemer Moving AwayGlen Hansard This Wild WillingGood Tiger Raised in a Doomsday CultNice. I was a bit worried from the get-go with the first single (Kimbal), though listening to this as a whole, it's pretty damn great. Ghost Vomit, Young Speak, Redshift, and the closing track are some of their more refined works to date, and the sound diversity here is pretty good too. Was definitely something I hoped to hear more of from Good Tiger coming from WWABG. Greg Puciato Child Soldier: Creator of GodGuthrie Govan Erotic CakesHail the Sun WakeHakushi Hasegawa Air Ni NiHans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch Blade Runner 2049Hikes Hikes [reissue]Thoroughly enjoyed it. Vocals are indeed underutilized in this genre but Hikes makes it work. "Chamomile" and "Like Ripples" are songs that really resonate with me.

Sonically textured and cohesive front to back with some anthemic instrumentation and passionate vocals. I find it to be a great 'gaze/emo/hardcore journey and "Constant", "Wool", and "Proxy Dream" are definitely some highlights here. Heavily recommended.Nas IllmaticNujabes Modal SoulNujabes Hydeout Productions 2nd CollectionPalm Reader SleeplessPeople Under the Stairs O.S.T.A hidden gem. This record is hip-hop done well, albeit a bit long. Narratives through each of the songs like "Empty Bottles of Water", "Tales of Kidd Drunkadelic", and "Acid Raindrops" are pretty interesting and I enjoyed what appears to be a parody song on hip-hop, "The Heat". I also appreciate how laid back O.S.T.'s beats are too. Puts a lot more focus on the raps while still keeping the listener entertained throughout the song. Lots of fun to be had here.Plini Handmade CitiesPlini Other ThingsPorcupine Tree DeadwingProtest the Hero VolitionR.E.M. Automatic for the PeopleR.E.M.

Both the melodic and the chaotic are intertwined well on this album and Dan's vocal performance really shines throughout "Illusion". Sunneith's performance on the latter half is good to, but something about the cleans and screams on "Chaos" fall short of what the former disk offered. Still, a very solid debut record. "Catharsis" and "Insurrection" were the standout tracks amoung the rest for me.Slint SpiderlandSlowdive Slowdive (LP)Snarky Puppy We Like It HereSol Distorsion Sol DistorsionAwesome. Really digging the psychedelic yet distorted riffs on both "Blood Red Moon" and "Bloom" and the refreshing, upbeat riffs here and there. Leaves me intrigued on what the debut LP is going to sound like now.Spaceslug Mountains & ReminiscenceSpaceslug Eye the TideSpaceslug manages to create a dark and moody tone in this record while keeping the listener enthralled with their deep but energetic riffs. The vocals also perfectly fit in with the tone of the album and is equally mixed in with the instrumentation nicely. "Obsolith", "Spaced by One", and the latter half of "Vialys" are tracks that I think represent the band's best works thus far. Heavily recommend it to those who are a fan of the doom metal genre.Static Dress Rouge Carpet DisasterStellar Circuits Ways We HauntSunset Mission Journey to Lunar CastellumSystem of a Down ToxicityTame Impala InnerspeakerTeebs ArdourTeebs Collections 01Telomere (CAN) Where Are We StillI've been looking for this type of math for the longest time, and it delivered. "Sequoia I: Ashes" is a SOTY for me.Tera Melos Trash GeneratorSomething about this album feels more whimsical amongst their discography (if that makes any sense), and I think it suits the band's style well. Quite a fun, enjoyable listen. "Your Friends", "Dyer Ln", and "Like a Deathclaw" were my top picks here. (Also, I like the nod to speedrunning with "Warpless Run".)Thank You Scientist Maps of Non-Existent PlacesThe Callous Daoboys Celebrity TherapistEverything I've wanted from this group and then some. Lots of their frantic musical ideas from their debut 'Die on Mars' appear more realized and brushed up here making this a solid, concise record. Honestly, it's hard to pick a standout, but I find myself returning to 'Beautiful Dude Missile' and 'What is Delicious? Who Swarms?' quite a bit. 'Celebrity Therapist' will throw you curveballs, constantly.The Chariot Long LiveThe Chariot One WingThe Contortionist Language (Rediscovered Edition)Really dig the redux tracks here, especially Language (Rediscovered). Makes for nice, eclectic refreshers from the originals and definitely adds to what was already established instrumentally. The Dillinger Escape Plan Calculating InfinityThe Mars Volta De-Loused in the ComatoriumThe Number Twelve Looks Like You Worse Than AloneThe Ocean Phanerozoic I: PalaeozoicThe Ocean Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | CenozoicThe Physics House Band Death SequenceOminous and very avant garde-esqe with its mixtures of math/prog compositions (with a hint of sax). The uniqueness in it's foreboding tone is pretty nice and serves as a nice auditory change of pace compared to other songs of the genre. Death Sequence I & III were my favorites here.The Planet You TechxtureThornhill The Dark PoolThrailkill Everything That Is Youtoe For Long TomorrowTOKiMONSTA Midnight MenuTokyo Philharmonic Orchestra Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra ConcertA beautiful live album that almost perfectly encapsulates the soundtrack of the Kirby franchise. Each medley not only adds to the already existing songs from each game but envelopes the listener into its own realms and worlds. A favorite of mine is "King Dedede & Meta Knight Medley", and I definitely recommend listening to it if you're a fan of Kirby's music.TTNG AnimalsTTNG Animals AcousticU.S. Girls In A Poem UnlimitedUlcerate Stare Into Death and Be StillUneven Structure FebruusThe ambient pieces combined with progressive metal here is astounding. In order to fully enjoy this, you would need to soak in the ambiance, let your mind wander as it plays, and let the energetic riffs handle the rest. A perfect example of this would be the final three tracks Limbo/Plenitude/Finale. Personally, that is the prime example of how you end an album of this type.

Especially on tracks like "Where Are the Birds" and "Latchkey Kids" where Elliot's vocal prowess really takes off. Currently one of my favorites. Instrumentally, it's pretty solid too for the most part. Similar to The Safety Fire's style, the riffs are still as crushing and tricky as they were before. One thing I found interesting was how the intro riff of "'67 Pontiac Firebird" sounds similar to TSF's earlier works. All in all, a pretty enjoyable debut.

Usually with experimental music, it's hit or miss. Fortunately, a good chunk of the tracks here sound great. I liked both "Noid" and "All the Love We Have Now" with it's more hip-hop-esqe vibe and I can appreciate "Licking An Orchid"'s initially laid back sound turning into a more louder and noisier tone to contrast the rest of the song. I'll have to see if this grows on me, but for now, I think it's pretty good.rUpdate: Welp, It grew on me.Zapruder Zapruder3.5 great156/Silence Don't Hold Your Breath3nd World TourA Continent Named Coma Removal of ThornsA Perfect Circle Thirteenth StepAesop Rock Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and KnivesAge of Taurus Desperate Souls of Tortured TimesAiming For Enrike Music For Working OutAisles Beyond DramaAlarmist Popular DemainAlarmist AlarmistAll Under Heaven ColliderAmarionette [US] Repeating HistoryAn Autumn For Crippled Children All Fell Silent, Everything Went QuietAnd So I Watch You From Afar The Endless ShimmeringAnimals As Leaders ParrhesiaAphex Twin CollapseArch Echo Arch EchoArch Echo Story IThe electrifying quintet is back at it again with a more concise and consistent output.

Somehow, its one of their most frantic outputs while also maintaining a cohesive style (Like a mix of Meta and "w^w^^w^w"). Specifically with how the cleans mesh with the more melodic bits and the heavier segments mesh with the harsher compositions. Vague Skies, Dissect Yourself, and HeLa are some pretty damn good tracks here, and it's generally a pretty solid output from Meta. Definitely going to spin this more to get a better feel for it.

It is indeed very comforting and heartfelt with how the psychedelic soundscapes complement the vocals. The strongest examples of this I feel are the songs "Seen A Ghost" and "Resistance". That said, it's relatively plain in terms of how explorative it appears to be. Not too many interesting musical ideas, but it's certainly not bare bones either. It does, however, bring a trippy musical atmosphere that enthrals the listener throughout the record regardless. The closing track "Ode To A Friend" definitely ties the bow on the album nicely, focusing more on the records spacey and dreamy side. Definitely one of the strongest songs on the record.rOtoboke Beaver Itekoma HitsOutrun the Sunlight Red BirdOutrun the Sunlight A Vast Field of SilenceOwane yeah whateverOwane Greatest HitsParannoul To See the Next Part of the DreamPeople Under the Stairs StepfatherPeople Under the Stairs Sincerely, The PThey still got it in them.

Has its moments here and there and has some pretty groovy riffs/breakdowns to at least break up the monotony a bit. "Exit, Exist", "In Flux", and "A Pulse Exchanged" stick out to me amongst the bunch, through the record as a whole is not too shabby.Aisles HawaiiAlarmist Pal Magnet EPAliA AliVeAlkaline Trio E.P.ALL CAPS (BY) We Were Wrong, Run Run Run!All Under Heaven Don't Suffer Alone / Alley CatAmerican Football Year One DemosArchitects NightmaresArchitects Lost Forever // Lost TogetherBaroness StoneBillie Eilish When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?Black Usurper Shadows Of The WorldBlanket Blue EyesBlood Youth StarveWell, that's probably one of the most unsettling endings to an album I've heard yet.Body Thief Every EndingBorn Pariah You're Already DeadBrand of Sacrifice LifebloodCapstan Restless Heart, Keep RunningCar Bomb Car BombCHON CHONI dig it, I guess. It might come off a bit stale at some points but makes up for it with some catchy riffs on tracks like "Rosewood" and "Peace". "Pitch Dark" is a pretty tricky track that's worth mentioning too, and I think its the prime example of this records mellow tone. All-in-all, it's mostly inoffensive and soothing on the ears, and it's somewhere between 3 and a 3.5 for me.Cloudkicker UnendingWhat a jump from Woum. He's truly mastered his craft on this record. Edit: Damn, what was past me on?Coldplay Everyday LifeCurrents The Way It Endsd4vd Petals to ThornsDance Gavin Dance AfterburnerDarknet Morally FlexiblePretty enjoyable stuff for the most part. The band sure does know how to handle a bleak sounding tone, that's for sure, and I find that to be a plus for me personally. The vocalist was rather alright too when matching that sort of tone without sticking out. I find myself going back to the T/T, "Nos", and "Ghost" quite a bit as well.

Things start to sound quite stale nearing the middle of the record and there's not a whole lot of interesting musical ideas to make up for it. The vocalist still can hit the notes, but it's unfortunate that there aren't any harsher vocals considering the tone of the album appears darker. A little diversity among how each song sounds next to one another would've been better. I think Claire Q. nailed it in the review. Most of these songs are better off isolated and work as their own. Regardless, the content on this album still holds up through a couple more spins and favorites of mine here are "Float On", "Just Shy", and "Cherry Lemon".Goodbye To Sleep The Pain In PartingGorillaz GorillazHaley Reinhart Listen Up!Have a Nice Life Sea of Worryheadcave 3Holding Absence Holding AbsenceI dig it. The ambiance combined with the instrumentation is a plus as it adds to the soundscape and gives the records some sort of identity. Additionally, the somber melodic tone of the compositions also worked well for the type of narrative it was encompassing. Though, something isn't necessarily clicking with me with the vocals. I might have to give this a couple more spins to see if this grows on me or not, but I think it's solid as is.Home Is Where our mouths to smileHorse Lords The Common TaskHot Water Music Shake Up The ShadowsInvent Animate EverchangerJesu Everyday I Get Closer to the Light from Which I CameJohari Pale BlueJonny Greenwood There Will Be Blood OSTJuan Bond WombKelly Lee Owens Kelly Lee OwensKendrick Lamar DAMN.Kevin Abstract ARIZONA BABYKing Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Sketches of Brunswick East (w/ Mild High Club)King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Murder Of The UniverseKitsune Nothing makes me happy anymoreLeafing LeafingLiturgy Origin of the AlimoniesLoathe I Let It In And It Took Everything (Instrumental)Loathe The Things They BelieveI wonder if Loathe is going to take a crack at Math Rock next.Logic Bobby TarantinoLogic Young Sinatra IVComing from the previous two albums (Everybody and Bobby Tarantino II), I was surprised by how this record sounds. The beats share similar qualities of the likes of "The Incredible True Story" and "Under Pressure" and the flows are pretty nice too. Some tracks that were my favorites are "Everybody Dies", "Wu Tang Forever", and "YSIV". With that said, several of the tracks feel like they dragged a bit (With the exception of Wu Tang Forever and YSIV). The opening track "Thank You" starts out with an interesting vibe but then shifts to a long string of messages from fans for about 3.5 minutes. While that is a nice way of acknowledgment, it feels like a closing track rather than the opener. Although I dig the narrative of the song "Legacy", and this may be a personal thing, I think it should've ended at the end of the third verse. The skit that follows is fine as it illustrates the previous verses, but it feels like it repeats the narrative again. Finally, The last track "Last Call" feels like a nice genuine track that ties the bow on the album, but it seems like Logic just rambles a bit near the end. I think that trimming some of the songs down a bit would've been nice. Despite that, I think this album is alright. Worth checking out.Logic No PressureLogic College ParkLudwig van Beethoven Quintet for Piano and Winds, Op. 16Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 2 in A major, Op. 2, No. 2Matt Watson OUCH!Mayors of Toronto EP-MMelt-Banana Cell-ScapeMelt-Banana Speak Squeak CreakMestis PolysemyMinuano Not EnoughMinus the Bear Fair EnoughMonuments (UK) PhronesisIt's alright. Kind of feels like things are sounding a little same-y and stale, but they're still staying true to their original sound. That's good I suppose. I kind of dig "A.W.O.L" and "Ivory" though. Also, I found the frequent f-bombs dropped "Stygian Blue" to be a bit overkill. Not that I'm offended by vulgarities, obviously, but it was kind of repetitive.Moodring StargazerMountains (KR) Japan Tour Double EPMountains (KR) Pre-TenseMovements Ruckus!Myles Oliver Find Me TomorrowMyles Oliver New SoundsNeutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the SeaNoppslyde Just WorldNorma Jean Deathrattle Sing for MeNorthlane Alien (Deluxe)Northlane 2DNorthlane SingularityNothing Dance On The BlacktopOcean Wisdom WizvilleOceans Ate Alaska HikariOf Mice and Men TimelessOf Two Minds Of Two MindsParting Gift EnsomPeriphery Periphery III: Select Difficultypg.lost OscillateProfiler ProfilerProtest the Hero PalimpsestPsyopus Ideas of ReferencePuscifer Existential ReckoningR.E.M.

I think Eric did a fine job with the vocals and the instrumentation is still just as good as the previous records. Highlights of this record for me were Dim, Synthetic Hands, The Reckoning, and Sunshine Dust. Menace and Temptress in the latter part of the record though kind of went in one ear and out the other. Regardless, the record is pretty good overall.Snail Mail LushSnarky Puppy The Only ConstantSnarky Puppy ImmigranceSoft Replica Only Ever In DreamsSoul Blind Untitledstandards Friendsstandards Fruit IslandPleasant, easy-going... and that's all I can really say about it.

It's quite a mixed bag of different sounding tracks and it definitely brings the funk, but I personally thought the vocals were a bit iffy in the mix. Some standout tracks that I find interesting are "Fixation" "Rains" and "Anything Goes". (I'll consider writing a review for this.)TesseracT SonderI tried with this album, but after several more spins, I couldn't really get into it anymore. "Orbital" and "Smile" are still the tracks I like, but the novelty of their sound seems to be lost. "Luminary" especially is the weakest song here.the backinsides Hypothermia / HyperthermiaThe Bob Lazar Story (sic)The Bob Lazar Story The Silence of Perez de CuellarThe Bob Lazar Story Ghost of FoodstoolThe Bob Lazar Story BaritoniaThe Callous Daoboys Animal TetrisThe Contortionist IntrinsicYeah, the production/mixing on this album is very questionable. The most glaring example being in "Dreaming Schematics" at 2:13 where the verse ends, and then you're hit with a loud, sudden shock of guitars. The only tracks I see myself going back to on this record were "Holomovement", "Geometric Confusion", and "Anatomy Anomalies" (I'll agree that the song titles are kind of pretentious as well). All in all, it's one of The Contortionist's weakest records, but it's still "ok".The Contortionist Sporadic MovementsIt's interesting hearing the beginnings of At The Hands of Machi- I mean, The Contortionist. It's certainly a lot heavier and more technical than their newer releases and certainly a lot more experimental. Some hits and some misses, but I think it still holds up today.The Contortionist Our BonesI feel that "Clairvoyant" seemed like the necessary book-end to this sort of narrative that the group has established with the previous two LPs. I was wondering exactly what and rwhere the group will take their sound next after that massive conclusion, and I suppose this is nice enough to quench that suspicion. Despite clinging to that sort of lyricism, rthe record is concise and to the point. "Early Grave" and the cover of "1979" were pretty good all things considered. Quite the musical transition this band went through this rdecade. Edit: Nevermind.

This certainly has some influences of the likes of Tame Impala with songs like "Chill Society" and a few others. Vocals and instrumentations were handled well and the synths definitely added to the tracks and diversified them as well, although I think at times, the synths were slightly invasive in the mix. Despite that, I think it's an overall solid LP. Favorites for me were "Suicidal Saturday", "Chill Society", and "Fun Track Mind (Sorry I Double Texted)". P.S: TANE Impala.TTNG Disappointment IslandTunatown Hella DownUnderoath VoyeuristUppermost PerseveranceUppermost Given by NatureAfter a couple more listens, I think this album is alright. Not as memorable as I initially thought, but some highlights for me were "Together" and "Starslide". Personally, I think this is a step in the right direction from Perseverance, but not by too much, sadly.Vasudeva GeneratorWhitewoods Spaceship EarthThe distorted beats/samples along with the spacey vocals is pretty much what I like most with this record. However, I think the vocals are drowned out a bit too much by the vintage-like beats themselves. "Be Home Free" is the definitive track on the album that summarizes what I like most about the record. I'd still recommend giving this record a shot if you're into something funky.Wolf and Bear BloodletterWristmeetrazor Misery Never Forgets2.5 average100 Gecs 1000 gecsAcres Burning ThroneAfter the Burial Dig DeepAfterlife (USA-FL) Vicious CycleAge of Taurus The Colony SlainAnd So I Watch You From Afar SuccessorsAndres (USA-CA) Once Upon a Time in BakersfieldAvenged Sevenfold Black ReignIt's not bad, but nothing really sticks out to me on this EP.

I appreciate Daniel's vocals since they match the mellow tone of how things sound as a whole, but the safe instrumentation seems barren in comparison. Leaves a lot of the songs unmemorable and if feels that it's heavily relying on Daniel's vocal prowess to take the forefront. (Some of the other artists takes fixed that issue) Despite that, I did enjoy "Black the Sun" and "Cinders", but it's somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3 for me.Darko (US) DarkoDatsik Vitamin DDeath Grips Government PlatesDefeater DefeaterDope D.O.D.

"Trapped Like Rats" and "I Dug a Grave" sound almost similar both vocally and instrumentally and "How to Survive Suicide" introduction is practically the same as the intro track. Despite that, the rest of that prior song and "Lilac" are the only things I found at least enjoyable, but it's quite a monotonous record in general.Gorillaz The Now NowHe Is Legend White BatHikes LiltInvalids Two-hundred-second EPInvalids Top Secret AreaJesu NeverJun Senoue Sonic Heroes - Complete TrinityKanye West yeKayo Dot Plastic House on Base of SkyLe Grand Plastic JazzLICK Dark Vibe OrderLil Darkie This Does Not ExistLogic EverybodyLogic Under PressureMouse On The Keys Out of BodyNorthlane MesmerOne Man Love Triangle The MessOrigami Angel Origami Angel Broke MinecraftPissgrave Posthumous HumiliationPlini birds / surfersWell, uh...

Not really feeling this one. It has its moments but I just can't really get into it. The clean vocals stick out like a sore thumb and heavily take away from the songs quality at times. Could've used a lot more refining. At least "Sporadic Movements" sounded better than it's original rendition, I guess, but in general, there are way too many breakdowns here and I think it ruins the cohesion of this EP.The Pineapple Thief Versions of the TruthU.S. Girls Heavy LightThis record starts off really strong, and that's one of its strongest suits, but something about the middle and latter half of the record loses steam. The interludes especially started to get a tad monotonous spliced in between the tracks, yeah. I'll give it some more time, but "4 American Dollars", "Overtime", and the closing track are really good tunes from the bunch on this record. Uneven Structure La PartitionThere's a lot of potential hidden within this record, but the production seemed to have screwed up the majority of the tunes here. It lacks that "punch" that 8 and Februus had and the layering is very noticeable. I still like half of the songs though and the beief ambient pieces. "Alkaline Throat", "Crystal Teeth", and "Incube" seem to stand out from the rest of the tracks for me. Still, I wish things here didn't sound so off.Veil of Maya False IdolWithin Destruction DeathwishZoo Trippin' Kids These Days2.0 poorAfterlife (USA-FL) Breaking PointSounds decent instrumentally, but lyrically has pretty predictable themes and messages which becomes its own downfall in the long run. The rap/speech interludes at times especially ruined most of the songs and heavily clash with the screams and the cleans throughout the record. Regardless, the song I found at least enjoyable was the closing track "Broken Home" as it at least breaks up the monotonous themes and vocal pace a bit from the rest of the album. I'm sure twelve-year-old me would eat this album up.Ameer Vann EMMANUELArchitects The Classic Symptoms of a Broken SpiritArchitects For Those That Wish to ExistBehold...
