5.0 classic
Between the Buried and Me Colors
This marked the shift of an era. A classic that blurs the lines between metalcore and prog in a way that pushes both genres to new peaks. An example of something that feels thoroughly off-the-cuff yet planned, like a miraculous circumstance. Like accidentally stumbling upon what will come to be one of your fondest memories. That's all I have to say. I instantly felt compelled to learn the entire album on guitar, despite metalcore never being a particular favorite genre of mine. Who doesn't still get excited when they hear White Walls live?
Black Sabbath Paranoid
You really need me to explain this rating? Bruh. Look at the tracklisting. People who hate metal have still enjoyed these tracks at some point, I guarantee it.
Charles Mingus The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
On my first listen, I had many "wow" moments, but my most basic summary statement: "I'm going to have to listen to this at least 50 more times." There is a change in the air every time I put this on where the inevitable desire of the human soul takes mainstage and never leaves as it settles into the heart and mind. One of the most soulful albums I've ever heard, with equal compositional and technical finesse that can give anyone a run for their money today. And this was over 50 years ago. If this came out today, it would still be heralded as a major accomplishment.
Devin Townsend Project By A Thread: Live in London 2011
An amalgamation of a near-flawless run by one of prog metal's most prolific song-writers and performers. This group of performances represents Devin Townsend at his peak. Sound quality is phenomenal. Vocals (and all instruments) aren't just on-point, but go the extra mile. Every set provides a unique atmosphere that is encompassing of a pointed mentality relative to each album being performed; This is all during a key point in his personal progression through life, representing what heights can be reached with a sober mentality. The "encore" portions represent many of his best tracks from throughout his career. This performance is everything it should be.
Injury Reserve By The Time I Get To Phoenix
"I don't think they get it." "And you if don't, then there's something wrong, up here in your noggin." The prison complex slave force is having trouble keeping up with the increasing forest fires. People have been taking to the streets because of incongruence between politics and the need for representation. People are overdosing on pills in droves from a depressive disconnection; a lack of consequence. Society exists in disassociation; It's in our structures. These are the rational ramblings of well-meaning men.
Kendrick Lamar To Pimp a Butterfly
The fact that this can end up on multiple major publications' "Best of the Decade" list, despite the people making these lists not even understanding every core point expressed on the album, is pretty damn substantial. For an album that seems to be geared towards black people, I feel a noticeable shift within myself every time I let this sink in that's just... perfect. This album actively makes me a better (more considerate, logical, and sympathetic) person. This is the most thorough actualization of a piece of poetry that's equally simple and deep that I've ever heard. It's literally a goddamn rap opera that's way too cool to be considered an opera.
maudlin of the Well Bath
Words escape me. This album is irreplaceable. When I was reaching a point in my life where mental breakdowns were becoming overwhelming, this brought my soul escape. This helped to redefine the way I view my place in this world, in my Earthly shell. I still think some of the guitar solos here are some of the most satisfying solos I've ever heard. The instrumentation is so unique, almost off the wall, but SO vivid in fulfilling the purpose of it's execution (pun). Speaking of... the concept. All I'm going to say is that I avoided listening to this when I used to take acid because I didn't want to have to go through the process of experiencing a reasonable mentality where murder could occur out of a deranged sense of love... because this album is way too good at taking you down that road just to lose and regret. And yet, there's still peace. It's so broken, yet in tune with it's fulfillment. This is the type of thing that requires a process of rationalization. I don't really know what else to say... This is the perversion of transcendence. And it's just a beautiful thing to observe, deal with, and learn from.
Meshuggah I
I'm not posting this sound-off to change anyone's mind. But this is basically the musical incarnation of Armageddon.
Mr. Bungle California
Indescribable. Literally. The only way to communicate the quality of this album is to tap into it's mentality, and inevitably scare off and confuse people who don't jump headfirst into accepting everything life has to offer. Mr. Bungle is a band that is known for mixing genres together that would not be expected; Whereas the previous album, Disco Volante, was peak weirdness in artistry... this album brings much more topical focus and dynamic cohesion, and overall responds to general expectations of modern music, making this easily the most accessible album from a band that seems to do everything they can to not be. Some of the topics covered throughout are pretty clear satire after you let them sink in. "Nobody wants to be a Mr. Bungle."
Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral
This album's track-listing isn't perfect because of one or two tracks (which are still fine tracks), but the execution of the concept itself is flawless and invaluable. Acting like this didn't totally redefine modern music, and that this isn't an epitome of itself, is a misnomer. Sometimes, the grime of life sticks to you, and letting it build up can make you unrecognizable to your past self. This album is a reminder. Eraser and Reptile still give me chills. Heresy, March of the Pigs, and The Becoming were definitive tracks of my depressed youth that all carry an energy, a sense of engagement, and a portrayal of self, that still define a quality of personal artistic engagement I prominently look for in music today.
Opeth Blackwater Park
An impossibly encapsulating darkly ethereal experience. Something that's incredibly easy to lose yourself in just to get sucked back in by the manner of each song's progression. The musical composition between all the instruments brings me to a different level of expectation of what a riff can do. One of the most obvious contenders for a progressive metal masterpiece. Still enjoy to the same exact degree today as I did 100+ listens ago.
Radiohead OK Computer
The album that was so encompassing that Thom Yorke had to make Kid A in order to escape it's success.
Rage Against the Machine Rage Against the Machine
A song about unlawful police, where the ending refrain is "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me (x16)" was played all over the radio when I was in elementary school. I instantly loved it. Even at that age, I didn't it interpret as visceral or immature, like some subsequent nu-metal bands would promote within the rap/rock hybrid, though I clearly was too young to have any reasonable impression of politics. There is something about the sound throughout this album that is instantly recognizable pertaining to being ready to observe what exists in reality rather than what you're told to believe, backed up by some massive-sounding riffs, driving beats and grooves, and expressive, effect-laden solos that sing in a totally unique fashion; arguably Tom Morello's best work to date. Considering how instantly recognizable and how pure of a genre mix this is, with an unmistakably refined-yet-experimental, unforgettable sound, this album is definitely a classic.
Refused The Shape Of Punk To Come
This album is a life-changer. A testament to the artistic value of music. Punk died with this album so that it may be reincarnated in all of our hearts. God bless them.
Run the Jewels RTJ4
I've never heard any album do exactly what this album did. This took repeated listens to familiarize with the true quality of, but what other album filled with bangers is meant to approach your soul for a real talk about how our collective accountability equates to the potentiality for personal satisfaction? And there's so much more. This is layered. This is coded. This is like the homeless guy from "How Much a Dollar Cost" by Kendrick Lamar. Killer Mike and El-P both stepped their game up here. El-P's dropping one-liners that have up to four meanings, Killer Mike's energy is as infectious and relatable as ever (yet more driven), and they're knitting their verses together to balance off of each others meanings to reflect all sorts of perspectives through specific phrasing. This is an essential entry into the hip-hop canon, alongside any classic, and, to me, a picture perfect representation of a common man who interacts with his surroundings and just wants to invest in what really matters, despite imposing forces. Favorite rhetorical device: The loop from the outro to the intro. Also... "Never Look Back" is incredible when it sinks in, comparing the meaning to "Thursday In The Danger Room" from RTJ3. We live our love.
Tag Team Whoomp! (There It Is)
The song that was so good, they had to disband while standing in the mere shadow of it's
legacy. Never has there been a more widely encompassing anthem for partygoers of all
varieties and backgrounds. Even sports stadiums cannot avoid playing this banger on their
speakers to this day. The title says it all. Whoomp! (There it is.)
Tool Lateralus
The most encapsulating archetype of modern progressive rock. This album frames depth in a way that anyone can see, and it's kind of miraculous. Something to get lost in, and find yourself in. Deconstruction of core elements, amplified through open hearts and minds. Incredible, unforgettable, and massively influential, yet impossible to completely encapsulate by all the people trying to follow in their steps. No weak points. Fantastic.

Antonio Vivaldi The Four Seasons
Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92
At the Drive-In Relationship of Command
The abstract lyricism and the occasionally off-kilter, quirky guitarwork add an invaluable flavor to a style that's easily interpretable (post-hardcore/alt-punk), but no less innovative, experimental, or expressive. While most tracks take an energetic, almost upbeat approach to serious foreign political issues being discussed through consistent metaphorical phrasing, some of the strongest points are when they slow down and really let the mood sink in. My only major complaint is that it doesn't end as strongly as it started.

Blotted Science The Machinations of Dementia
This is a really hard album to encompass the artistry of in words without doing research on the actual topic of each instrumental, but I can definitely say that the musicality is of a degree relative to a masterclass jazz musician, but within a specific style I've never heard anywhere due to the required technical prowess. This isn't exercises: This is enticing brain fuel from start to finish, with psychological analyses engorging (both definitions) vivid sensations that reach towards root functions within the brain. Activation Synthesis Theory is one of the greatest metal instrumentals I have ever heard, with a solo that's nearly impossible to put into notation without making a mess. A monumental instrumental release.

Brockhampton SATURATION III
This is definitely the best Saturation album, and the best Brockhampton project by my standards. Not one filler track (S2 may have had a couple higher peaks, but it falls off toward the end). Engaging album flow; Every following track feels entirely necessary). They clearly hit their stride by putting their work in through 2017, and it shows here. Killer production. Everyone's performances round out their overall offerings to the group, providing everyone's highlights. Plus there's a good range of topics and moods, with Bleach being more introspective and one of their most enjoyable hits, and Sister/Nation being one of their most daring compositions. Also recommend the tracks: Rental, Stupid

Children of Bodom Follow the Reaper
Easily the best Children of Bodom record to me. They had this raw classic metal band energy over the first three albums that peaked here. And then Hate Crew Death Roll was like their Black Album to me; Got a lot of people into them, and it's a great album, but has the same issue: "Modernization" makes it tied to it's time. Where HCDR feels like a throwback to something that felt new, Follow the Reaper always feels exactly like it used. So many good tracks. Memorable from start to finish.
clipping. There Existed an Addiction to Blood
When you're ready to let it sink in, it can make you shiver from beginning to end. That's how it was for me on my second listen, when I gave it my full attention. A horror album where every (potentially) gruesome scenario is a metaphor for a real-life psychological horror, contrasting it's following partner album which largely does the opposite. On first listen, I had wished there were more drums. On the second listen, I realized the pulse was meant to be in my head, as it was implied by the placement of the vocal rhythms. First, I thought his flow and wordplay was very precise and well-executed. Then, I realized just how vivid yet interpretable Daveed's story-telling is as I started applying the details in these distinct scenarios to details of situations that I, and most people, should reasonably fear. This album brought me substantial realizations about hip-hop; How artistically daring it can be, and how effectively a fiction can indicate something real to a general audience, thus granting a window for anyone who wishes to get into the genre across backgrounds. Absolutely noteworthy: The sound design in "Run For Your Life" is precious. The transitions between tracks is so smooth, it makes the album feel like one extended sonically entrancing art piece. The final track is literally just a burning piano for 19 minutes, but because of how engaged I've been with the concepts throughout the prior 50 or so minutes, I've sat through it way more times than I can rationalize to anyone. I think it's a testament of accomplishment.
clipping. Visions of Bodies Being Burned
At first, I thought this might be a B-sides. That opinion was partially formed by hearing "Say the Name" first. However, that is easily the "safest" track on here, and serves a logical purpose near the beginning of the album as a bit of a calm. Comparing this to it's mirror album, There Existed An Addiction To Blood, there seems to be more of a psychological horror element here; whereas it's predecessor was largely based on fearing for your living flesh and blood in different contexts, there's a heavier element of underlying horrors and haunting here. If you're expecting the tone of Daveed's voice to haunt you more than the words he's saying, this isn't your kind of horror... This is more of an homage to classic horror movies that utilizes these tracks as a vehicle to make modern connections to legitimate points these movies made. This album is objectively an artistic achievement. While certainly not flawless (the interludes are less essential this time, Daveed's tone could occasionally be more aggressive), there are enough clear monuments to modern experimental hip-hop here to put clipping. very far into their own lane. Favorite/Recommended Tracks: Eaten Alive, Something Underneath, Enlacing
Clipse Hell Hath No Fury
Company Flow Funcrusher Plus
Not flawless, though undeniably a classic in it's own sense. Some of the strongest hip-hop tracks from the 90s. Occasionally transcendental. The only flaw throughout it's entirety is that it could use a few more topically focused tracks; Last Good Sleep is absolutely heartbreaking, and just how strong of a track it is makes it even more-so, because I can feel the dedication to the craft being relative to the need to escape from something that feels out of control. Aside from that, there's flows for days and instrumentals that are instantly recognizable, yet sonically complex within their occasionally lo-fi sensibilities. The head-space might go past some people, but when you're in it, complex thoughts might become catchy.

Dream Theater Images and Words
Dream Theater Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
I think that this is the least flawed Dream Theater album. There may technically be higher peaks at different points of their discography, but... Put it this way: SFAM is obviously a classic album, but I just can't stand the cheesier bits, and in retrospect, that contrast of styles and tones actually lessens the compositional cohesion. It's really disappointing to skip tracks on one of the greatest concept albums because the mood shifts don't always land. However, I don't see a reason to skip any track here, and find these songs to relate very clearly to each other while still offering substantial variations throughout it's runtime.

This album slays so fucking hard, front to back. An hour of straight fire. It's like mixing Dillinger Escape Plan with The Mars Volta and making it sound like a 90s rock band that's too insane for radio play, or a post-hardcore album gone wrong. So good. Every track flows together and offers something different. Vocals are distinct, strong, and memorable. Lyrics are abstract, yet vividly provocative. All instrumentals are incredibly distinct, bringing chills down your spine and flames in your mind. The drummer absolutely owns. The compositions are all unconventional, successful experiments. So strongly recommended.

This album is absolutely incredible to me. There's such a wide mix of influences that come together flawlessly to carry through these vocal performances of a soul on fire, with impeccably well-crafted lyrics. The theme of the black dog carries a lot of weight as he really delves into the fine details of these two aspects: Of loving yourself when your partner convinces you otherwise, and when society convinces you otherwise as well. They aren't unrelated, it all contributes to an interplay of aspects of self-image. More importantly, the psychological nuances of what eats away at well-being, and the true nature of those nuances, is buried in all these lines in a very personally connective way; This album was born from the necessity of the human spirit to thrive. There's plenty of dreaminess throughout, a lot of throwbacks to older funk and soul styles, occasionally some rock and punk influences; it seamlessly bridges influences over multiple decades. Really feel the need to re-emphasize just how well-knit the lyrical themes between tracks are, it really serves as a strong basis for a complete listening experience as the performances fully convey the meanings. Most tracks are my favorites, but for a start, I recommend: Centrefold, Don't Need You, Smiling With No Teeth, Black Dogs!, Whip Cracker. These tracks all offer drastically different things while all being very clearly cohesive. Love it when experimentation lands well like this.

I literally just heard this for the first time, and I can't believe how much fire there is in here. Amazing riffs / song composition. Easily a progenitor of modern prog rock. Contemplating a 5. Btw, I'm guessing musicians' issue with the "concept album" label is the fact that literally any album that's about anything is a "concept" album. Kind of like how most bands that use advanced compositional techniques are generally considered "prog."
JID DiCaprio 2
JID The Never Story
JID The Forever Story
After letting this sink in, it's actually better than I initially thought. The way the lyrical themes tie together is really clever. It covers his come-up and dealing with money and "the devil's temptations," sure, but the way he portrays how family matters within the influence of growing up in poverty really helps get across a clear picture, visually and mentally. JID has an impressive amount of subtlety for someone who's capable of being flashy. Just about all of the main attributes that a rapper can do well, he pulls off; Commercial appeal, technical flows, smooth double talk, conscious lyrics that don't over-preach, a wide variety of beats, and even some well-sung passages. The features all fit well into their tracks, but JID is definitely a big part of why they shine, as he balances off of their contributions perfectly, such as in "Just in Time." Something particular special about JID that's further exemplified on this album is his ability to really bring an instrumental to life with the way he structures his approach, which he has achieved a very fine balance with on here, both on individual tracks and throughout the album. Probably the biggest flaw out of the whole thing is the album essentially feeling like two halves, being front-loaded with bangers followed by mostly melodic, more vulnerable cuts after. It's not detrimental enough to lessen the songs, but a transitional track might've done wonders, considering everything else was mostly on point. Heavy contender for album of the year.

This album is salvation and a total piece of shit. There, now that we got the silly part out of the way: This is K Dot covering the toxicity in the culture at the root of interpersonal relationships, starting with our selves. He's still doing the same shit he's always done. He's still saying simple things that people aren't thinking about enough to get the true meaning of. His flows aren't as aggressive or technically savvy this time around, but he still tastefully switches it up a lot, and it serves as a basis for baring soul. This album is a therapy session, flat-out. And simultaneously, he's still locked into that public expectation and pulling it off. While there're 2-4 tracks that don't hit the same, the album as a whole conveys a very important process of self-reflection and internalization. This album will positively impact many people. It's a success in my book.

Linkin Park The Hunting Party
For me, this is clearly Linkin Park's best work, right next to Hybrid Theory. This album is raw, personal, and emotionally charged, for sure. Most of the tracks on here are highlight tracks, and the ones that are closer to average aren't bad tracks. The only track I can't really get behind is Final Masquerade. Aside from that, there're multiple collaborations on here that work as well as they possibly could have, with features including Rakim and members of Helmet, System of a Down, and Rage Against the Machine. Hybrid Theory had a certain angst to it that could at worst be considered teenage angst, but is ultimately based in a dark and troubled past that gets conveyed effectively when connecting with the material. Hunting Party doesn't feel like teenage angst; This is the peak representation of Linkin Park sounding relevant with their angst as adults. These tracks come off more like anthems of facing an existential crisis. Aside from the feature tracks all being great, other highlights include Keys to the Kingdom having the kind of chorus only Chester could deliver that skillfully and naturally, as well as Mark the Graves having some seriously impressive high notes in an overall effective rock track.

As a longtime fan of Meshuggah, this release is an absolute treat for me. For anyone inclined towards nerding out over technicalities: Koloss was an effective step away from simply repeating odd patterns in a clever formation by including more specifically placed deviations. However, I feel that it actually detracted from that album's replay value, despite it being slightly less predictable. However, on this album, there's a perfect balance between formulaic and nuanced, and some more subtle tricks are introduced that may not be noticeable if giving oneself wholly to the "swirl" rather than focusing on staying grounded. FANTASTIC examples: By the Ton's riffs don't line up into the 4 of 4/4 groupings, meaning if you start following one riff, you might not be on the original on-beat. Also, this track is absolutely loaded with parts that constantly change, more like demented free jazz. Another great example is Stifled: The intro contains 3 notes before the phrase kicks in, meaning the first downbeat is on a fast offbeat. There're little things like this that make perfect sense for Meshuggah, but just haven't been utilized like this until now, and it shows that they're still capable of finding room for growth within their thoroughly established identity. On a visceral level, this thing just fucking bangs. Clockworks, Monstrocity, Ivory Tower, Nostrum, In Decay... All killer, totally distinct within their discography. Good workout album with no major lulls.

Wow! Can't believe there isn't a review for this. I'm pretty sure this was my favorite metal album from 2016. The track "The Science" is absolutely incredible. The whole album has well-composed instrumentals that carry the band's theme really well. Plus, everyone's nasty at their instruments, but shout-out to the xylo-synth player for shredding with the mallets.

Setting aside personal enjoyment... This album made something that is instantly recognizable in it's visceral feeling, and yet is equally entrancing in it's soulful execution. This is essentially the archetype of someone pouring their souls into a rock album, with instrumentation that is appropriately expressive to match spirits bursting with life.

The original version of this album is beautiful, and this acoustic version actually manages to be more beautiful. Any criticism of the original version applies to this, but also those string sections really add a lot. Very easy to get lost in, and very emotionally pertinent. Easily as worth hearing as the original, though the track order is different.

There's some genuine vulnerability here. Regarding the need for fulfillment and how that may complicate ambitions of intimacy. The unquenchable need for validation in affection carries the theme throughout the album, letting the feeling sink in with a few significant emotional highlights that portray complications and clarity effectively. Solid.

Damn, Busta came back swinging. Despite a fairly long track listing, I really don't think there's much filler on here when you get down to what's worth cutting; Maybe a track or two, at most. What I really like about this record, aside from an overall invigorated performance by an OG MC, is just how many phases it goes through. He really gives you a little bit of everything in his bag, while updating his sound. One of his best. Recommended taster tracks: Slow Flow, True Indeed, Deep Thought, Best I Can

This is a really solid progressive melodeath release. I don't really see why this would be so universally highly rated, though. There're plenty of other comparable quality releases with this overall sound, in my opinion. Still, certainly worthwhile for fans of this subgenre. Title track is easily the best track.

While their previous album seems more cohesive, like it grips your attention at any point while all having engaging context, this album has a few weak points. That said, some of the highs on here are easily among this band's best moments. This album is more emotionally chaotic than it's predecessor, while trying to channel that into a more controlled song-writing environment. Honestly, I think these specific elements clash more than they compliment. Whores of Babel and Arcology both feel like they should be more emotionally raw in the music to match the lyrics. Overall, album starts off strong and mostly maintains it, with minor slumps and an underwhelming finish.

This may reflect badly on me, but I'm pretty sure the reason this album is better than the rest of Filter's discography is because they were doing a lot of cocaine. I never really found them to have all that much substance so the cocaine really helps.

Lil Ugly Mane PRELUDE TO PANOPTICON: "ON DOING AN EVIL DEED...
Lil Ugly Mane Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern
This album did a really good job of keeping it's structures out of my mind while actually staying buried in my subconscious. Like it's the album that's easy to forget about, then I put it on, I'm like "oh yeah! I love this." A lot of that has to do with the mood being working through depression - a lot of this loosely feels like an unreleased 90s Beck album if he needed to work through a harsh break-up - but a lot of it is because of how the songs are built-up; There's a really clever sense of establishing inter-knit dynamics and functioning nuances using a quirky range of samples. Instrumentation sounds refined, yet purposely unrefined at the same time; The out-of-tune guitar actually emphasizes the lyrical theme of "Cursor" really effectively, like just running with a sense of satisfaction that won't resonate well. "VPN" establishes a dark headspace in really beautifully compiled sonic layers that itself feels like a triumph, a monument to stand above it's roots. "Styrofoam" encapsulates a mentality of living outside the present (emphasized by sounding like an old-timey cartoon playing off a TV) and how investing in the moment requires an actual long-term investment. The majority of the tracks make good points about the true nature of love, and with a keen sense of sonic layering in a clearly defined, yet hard to pigeonhole, thematic outline, this album cements itself as an essential release to anyone willing to let it sink in, and to underground music, in general.

Lorna Shore Pain Remains
So I honestly like this more than any other Lorna Shore release. I don't know why, after multiple albums of the same sound, this one somehow feels less generic to me. It still has similar flaws to every other release, but I feel like the overall dynamics flow together a little more naturally, whereas on their last EP, it felt more like a mix and match of elements that theoretically work based on past experience, but don't actually correlate in specificity to elevate and distinguish each particular track. I think there's still room for improvement, though, if they try to carve a new coinciding niche at SOME point in the future. Because doing the same exact sound is most definitely going to get old for people who aren't hardcore into the genre. They're great at tempo / feel switches mid-breakdown, but it could indeed use more tonal variation instead of just feeling like a pummelling wall of single-note crunch every time. At least the elements are functioning properly here. It is a long album, but I'm fine with taking that as a reason to split my listening experience with the 3-song closer feeling separate.

This album starts off solid and gets better throughout its entirety, finishing before it has a chance to dip back down in quality. Easily better than both of the King's Disease albums, which were already generally well-regarded. I do not understand anyone comparing this to Illmatic (why would anything he ever does sound like that again?). I also don't understand why someone would say he's back; The last two albums were fairly well-regarded... This album serves as confirmation of his current upward trajectory, which is an invigorating and rather rare thing to hear from a veteran rapper. I wouldn't be surprised if the next album is only alright after dropping consistent heat, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being his second best behind the obvious classic debut.

Excellent dvd. Amazing sound quality.rMost songs sound better than the original, plus there're a few added parts, such as in"Open Car" before the second chorus and a drum solo at the end of "Hatesong" that wonderfully demonstrates Gavin Harrison's masterful style and skill behind the kit.rOnly thing I'm fussy about is there aren't any songs before the Stupid Dream cd (in the main performance) and only one off of Lightbulb Sun, but considering how much is already on this dvd and how much quality material PT have released... can't really complain too much.

Not a fan of Christmas music? Behold! Jingle bell metal is here! Whether you didn't get the Boba Fett you wanted or you just simply wish Rudolph would stand up to those other mean reindeer and get bloody revenge, this album's for you!
Psychostick Do
This actually might be my favorite Psychostick album because of the personal connection to the material. This album is really effective at assessing a depressing mind state and making light of it. For instance, the lyrics to the second track could be taken seriously - "I could off myself but I'm too lazy to try" - but the context of being an anti-inspirational hardcore song feels like a roast from a friend. The track "Adulting" perfectly describes losing a grip on taking care of yourself because all of your effort goes into supporting yourself in a cycle that brings no joy - "I don't want to human today, no more brushing teeth, let them decay. Haven't showered in over a week. I don't even want to think." - But again, these thoughts that could be normal in an abnormal mind state are provided a context that actually makes them humorous to observe. It's actually pretty effective art in the form of comedy. Aside from that, there are a few tunes that just make me absolutely happy, like "Thinkin' With Yer D" with it's catchy swing feel, and "Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on Toast With Sriracha" sounding like an original System of a Down track. Tracks like "Introvert Party Time" and "Moving Day" are thematically well-executed and I think legitimately clever. This album is a fantastic representation of shaking off a bad mood.

That shift from the first track to the second still makes me raise my eyebrows after multiple listens. I def think this one is underrated compared to his other albums. Only track I can't really get behind is Dj Freaky Zhit because of the overused "alright." Really interesting balance of styles, I.m.o.

Most of this album feels pretty familiar on first listen. Many riffs are given detail to a degree in which they are effective. That said, a lot of riffs on this album feel and sound cool, but a: mostly don't evoke a visceral reaction in my body (very mentally inward), and b: aren't "catchy" enough compared to some of the comparable influences. The parts that aren't more technical aren't differentiated enough in my opinion. I think if this band payed slightly more attention to nuance in chill spots and let there be a little bit more variation between having breathing room and staying tightly knit, that album may be in consideration for a classic. That and a stronger thematic presence, because I can easily block out any sense of lyricism. That said, this album is a joy to listen to. I can tell a lot of work was put into it. The styles do blend very naturally, and I can't say there's a particularly bad moment, just a few parts that made me notably not feel like moving. While impressive, I still see room for growth.

A few solid 4/5 tracks, but occasionally the lyrics could be better, the influences can be kind of obvious, and some hooks could've landed better. Instrumentally, this is pretty good. Guitars have a particular but comfortable style, textured well. Everyone holds their own, performance-wise. Familiar, but fresh enough to not be a throwaway.

Dopehead Plaid Palm Trees
Somehow has more of an old-school sound, which is kind of preferable to the stuff he did after. Dopehead has a little bit of an issue with bluntness vs substance, but that weakness is less prominent on this release than others. Though he never really gets past being like an over-the-top crunk-type dude, there are enough bars and interesting beats on here to carry the listening experience through without being repellant to people just trying to chill. Overall, this is the closest he got to Danny Brown level quality (comparing members of the Bruiser Brigade), but Danny Brown was still slightly better than this at his "low" points, they were just part of the same conversation at this point in time. Def recommend if you're into Danny Brown or Zelooperz, but I can see why Dopehead wouldn't go back to this style even though I personally prefer it.

Earthgang reverts from the psychedelic-tinged Mirrorland towards the more straight hip-hop side of their sound. Instead of aiming for using a more abstract sense of metaphor, the lyrical content here is more grounded in consequence and surroundings, rather than elevating to a different world; More invested in cash flow, which a lot of artists make trite, but they're at least smiling and letting their quirkiness carry them through. While not necessarily their strongest album, it's nice to hear them go back to their established roots. Would be cool to hear them go back to Mirrorland style on the next one.

Eminem The Eminem Show
Eminem Music to Be Murdered By: Side B
Right, so now that I've listened to this album a few times and am not going off of my
initial reaction: This is Eminem's funnest album since The Eminem Show. The only track
that's weak here is Killer, and that's not even a bad track, it's just a collab with Tyga
that came out a little bland. There is not one atrocious hook, surprisingly enough. There
is plenty of immaturity here, just as sure as the sun is hot... but there's actually a
lot of honesty here as well, more than I expected. He still touches on his critics a
little bit, but he includes a healthy dose of self-reflection this time, making it much
more relatable than any previous attempt. There are easily more good bars than bad here,
with the strongest quality ratio since he went sober; People who feel the need to nitpick
specific lines as an indicator of overall quality are legitimately just people who want
Eminem to be somebody he's not. It's worth noting that the handful of bad bars buried in
the well-done flows actually lean more towards stupid/funny instead of the cringe-y dad
jokes of Revival. If you at one point liked Eminem, and don't accompany your nostalgia
with amnesia, then this is actually pretty close to the quality of his heyday. If you can
go into this without any major expectations, you will be pleasantly surprised. This
should've been Side A.

Compared to NOISE, this one is a lot less dramatic, and it works much more in it's favor. Interesting Powerman 5000 reference on Axis. Touches on that goth-type shit without coupling the genres inherent flaws. Overall sidesteps a lot of flaws here, tbh. Like his scream kind of comes off like a screamo tone, but it mixes just right to not come off amateur. The flow switches up enough to maintain attention. Tracks flow together nicely, structurally and atmospherically. Seems like the right entry point for this artist.

Wasn't vibing at first but it started to get more in the zone. Def agree that some features don't necessarily elevate the tracks as much as they could, but they aren't bad either, so it does overall come together into a cohesive package. Some interesting moments and ideas lyrically, but I'm also not substantially wowed by any specific moment. Great for what it is.

"It's not as good as most of their other stuff, but it sure is excellent!" They're functioning. It's a comeback. It's solid. Some bits sound fresh (for them). Some bits sound exactly like what you'd expect from a PT record. I'm personally less a fan of the familiar, which may not entirely be because of my taste. That's all I'll get into.

Psychostick We Couldn't Think of a Title
I'm kind of nostalgic for this album. It has definitely brought many laughs and smiles every time I revisit. Unfortunately, the replay value diminishes a bit if you want something to consistently listen to, but it's a great time in the moment. Some tracks have more of a lasting impression than others; Even though songs like "Why Oh Why?" are very effective satire ("Dude, seriously, you need to get a life" [instead of writing break-up songs all the time]), the style they satirize isn't necessarily inviting. That said, songs like Beer!, Two Ton Paperweight, and Throwing Down still resonate really well as effective satires in well-structured, fun songs.
Psychostick IV: Revenge of the Vengeance
Ya know what the funniest part of this album is to me, low-key? The way they represent their version of maturity. A lot of this album actually feels like a progression from where they were, specifically in their lane of satiric metal. While I feel like this album as a whole didn't make me bust my gut like a good number of tracks from previous albums, they do still have a sharply defined approach with their sense of humor, which moves more towards specificity regarding subject matter. Some tracks make this work really well (Obey the Beard, Fight to the Death) while some tracks have good premises but don't necessarily make me laugh, despite the obvious comedic fertility (Loathe Thy Neighbor, Blue Screen). Still a worthwhile listen for fans of this group.
Psychostick ... And Stuff
It's a covers and b-sides. All the best tracks are either covers or songs about food. Recommended: Metaldonna Medley, Chimichanga, Mi Queso, Hedstronk. "Ghostbuster!" as a Sepultura track is brilliant. A few duds here, too, though. Not a fan of "Let's Do The Sex." I hope they put out an album of fresh tunes not too long after this!

I'm listening to Soulfly's discography in order, and... I really don't see what people's problem is with this album. The features are really interesting. None of these tracks specifically fall flat for me. They're still creating primal music that has some sonically and stylistically interesting choices; The layers at the end of Four Elements and the R&B elements in Tree of Pain are really good examples of unique and effective expression within experimentation. Though this album seems less infectiously catchy than Primitive, it definitely utilizes the root of what makes their music work, so if you like Soulfly or late-Cavalera era Sepultura, this is worth a listen.

Hmm... It's got something going for it, for sure. Yet somehow it's consistently missing something. But I don't think it's because it changes too much or too little. I feel like it's a sense of themes not being contrasted in the proper fashion. It's like each part here sounds good on it's own, and it technically belongs where it is on the album, but just because it's structurally sound on a technical level doesn't mean the contexts are all appropriate. This makes emotional and mental processing for the listener a little bit of a jigsaw, which most people would opt for viewing as messy or disjointed. I do think there's potential here, though. I think a good number of parts here would've settled much better with just the slightest tweaks.

This album does a good job of creating dismal atmospheres that invoke a hellish abyss. As black / death metal releases may be inclined to do so. Tracks 2 and 3 feel like the peak of this album, whereas I think things drag on a bit much by the 20-minute closing track. Tracks 4 and 5 start to feel a bit too familiar compared to the hellscape of the first half. Still, overall pretty good.

I like how Vince seems to make accessible music that needs to grow on you. I was lukewarm to this and FM! on first listens, but the quality sinks in as I internalize the perspectives. Kenny provides a space that is centered, but wandering. Vince uses this backdrop to emphasize a comfortable focus with his identity, but with a soul tinged with a type of darkness that keeps one from total peace; The subtlety of this dynamic may not be for everyone, but it's there for people open to it. Worth revisiting.

Multiple comments about edge lord purists sadly sums up the stylistic vacuum that is currently the second half of BTBAM's career so far. At this point, I'm not expecting anything new, and this album doesn't actually have that much to do with the old shit, despite all the rehashes and getting a little bit heavier again; Very little of the vast amount of new material sounds like it's actually accurately a continuation of Colors. The most daring thing about Colors 2 is that it exists. Good for them. Hopefully Colors 3 is more airtight and serves a more pointed artistic purpose rather than just being a mishmash of BTBAM elements that might as well have been algorithmically constructed.

It's crazy how conflicting my feelings about this album became over time. Initially, I thought this album had some charm to it, like even though his purposely nasal voice gets overbearing sometimes, it's like it came from a friend who annoyed you into having a good time because you were being uptight. However, getting to know how this dude operates over the years really changed the context for how this album sounds to me. At this point, I really don't think this guy ever touched acid in his life and just wanted to make an album that appeals to that crowd, noticing how enthused they may be. The chorus to NaNa sounds more like a kid trying to taunt someone when you consider how he treats people who help him. The entire album balances on the assumption that Chance is charismatic, but he's going to need to be more the person he portrays in order for it to be appropriately endearing, and I can't help but notice lines in his newer material that push him away from the version of himself that got him popular. Someone trying to annoy you out of uptight-ness really flips around the impression when you realize they were actually giving you a valid reason to feel uptight.

While it seems like a great old-school hip-hop record at a glance, there're rhyme schemes that are quite literally elementary on just about every track. I mean nursery rhyme shit. It's not really a concept, it just keeps coming up. Brings down tracks that could've been bangers, like Blows to the Temple. Take them out and this would've easily been better.

This album, at first, I thought was kind of a disappointment and the voice-overs can be kind of corny sometimes, but this has grown on me a lot. The heavy parts aren't as heavy as SYL generally is, there're more odd and quirky vocal melodies here and there, and, best of all, Devy's vocals sound much fresher and less strained than on some of the past releases (some vocals off Synchestra and The New Black sound like they could've been much better had he not been touring non-stop).
Something I usually expect from Devy's releases, especially SYL, is a set of songs consisting of half the tracks or so being high-quality and the other half being lackluster. This cd is much more consistent. You most likely won't be skipping tracks too often. Though some parts of the tracks might not appeal much, there'll most likely be another part of the song that'll get your attention.

A pivotal rap album that... really hasn't aged well. When it comes down to it, Jazzy Jeff saved this. Compared to the following album, this album has particular high and low points. One note: The beat boxer's spit snare sounds HORRIBLE But then it's made up for with some higher quality performance. Kind of sums up the quality of the whole album.

Man, I used to really jam this album in 2010, before I listened to more hip-hop. The thing about this album is that it definitely has style, but that's 100% of the appeal, and once you really dig the lyrics apart, it becomes apparent this album only really works if you turn your brain off. In the very least, it does invite you to do this, but after familiarizing with more classics, this comes off as more of a step in a progression than a pivotal launch point.

By the numbers. Some inspired moments. Song-writing isn't really there, though. Long tracks without that much sense of grandeur, which is what always carried their classics through. Some great isolated bits of music in a huge collage of expectable familiarity that doesn't do much to tempt the soul. Album ends stronger than it starts.

Compared to the band clipping.: Almost the same exact style of instrumentals, but less
vivid / high def (one of the tracks actually gave me a headache, which clipping. has
never done). Same style of rhetoric as clipping.'s older stuff, but without the deeply
wound stories. Similar wordplay and references, but... just go listen to clipping. If
you've worn out their music and want more of the same, then come here. I would wish for
more variation on their next release, and better mastering.

There are interesting ideas musically. I'm personally not really into the vocal style / tone a lot of the time, and the lyrics don't help. I almost get a "look what your moody teenager grew into" vibe from this one. How some parts are constructed can carry some decent ideas and does carry the songs through. Just not enough coming together for me to stay into it. There's an excessive use of bass sometimes, too forward, not surrounding. Gets better towards end of album. Industrial bits do vaguely cross-reference the late 90s a lot, but then there's like goth trap. Honestly his higher pitch variation in rapping at least proves he can sound more than moody about "dark shit." "I can't relate." The ideas are spirited, but I'm just craving more than what I get on most of these, sonically and in terms of meaning and substance. Even going full ignorant might be preferable to me, just land on some kind of epitome. I didn't get that here, personally. XXXTentacion came up on shuffle after this and I thought Ghostemane actually went hard for a second, wooooow lololol

Some of these tracks could be, in some ways, considered Gojira's best tracks, in terms of instrumental expressivity and overall progression for their sound. And then there're tracks that don't really ask for a replay, which is unfortunate because I really care about the Amazon forest burning, but I almost never want to listen to the song about it. Song-writing doesn't feel as monumental as their other efforts. Hopefully the next effort improves on what this album does.

Bad mastering and some ineffective production choices makes a potentially successful experiment fall flat. Goldlink puts distortion on all of his own vocals (which lacks bass in the EQ, leaving it sounding thin), which makes it sound even trashier when you hear a feature with clean sound quality come in right next to it. Shame that this didn't go all the way to hit the mark because the ideas throughout the album are legit really solid and this could be a significant variation in his style, having a bit more abrasiveness kind of relative to rock music without crossing the genre line. Hopefully the sound issues aren't prevalent on his next release, as I really want to see where he's going.

Damn, Umber Tower is sexy. "From the taste upon my tongue." Oo baby. Too bad that doesn't save this album from being by the numbers. The symphonic aspect is actually pretty enjoyable, but the prog metal is pretty standard throughout. The Nimloks sounds like it was meant for the radio but didn't suffice. Very hit or miss.

Some parts were surprisingly fun. Other parts were between bland and cringe. Impressions range from 2/5 to 4/5, ultimately leaving the album feeling both consistent and lacking a feeling of unification in structure. Lyrics were cheesy, delivery was done well for its style.

I'm glad to see these folks back at it; That simple fact is probably my favorite thing about this album, though. The references to old Dream Theater are a little too obvious for me, having been a big fan of their work with Portnoy; I can easily point to at least one exact moment on every track that only varies from it's original source to such a minor degree that it barely registers as different. The compositions feel more like jams than planned sessions with a pointed purpose. Overall enjoyable. I wouldn't call it thoroughly gripping like LTE2, but there are elements coming together, they're just unrusting their connection. They just need to lock in to new shit more than rehash and they'll be killing it.
Logic Vinyl Days
Alright, I guess I'm starting my Thanksgiving with "it's the birth of the black white boy! Retire for what!?" Not bad, but I still can't help but feel like there's something central that's missing. I think... Maybe the over-aggressive bars and awkward skits are kind of revealing how neurotic this dude is (not that neurotic is inherently bad). I can't say this is bad rap, but I'm not sure what it is I'm supposed to hang on to and want to revisit. The beats aren't incredible, but they're solid. The flows sound good (which wasn't necessarily the issue with his worse albums, this was always the strong point, though it was because he was lifting styles off people too blatantly), but I don't really have any particular meanings, feelings, or reflections that I find inspiring or significantly relatable. Still a lot of style lifts that are obvious to me, making this clearly feel like a boom bap sampler. Just my take.

Not nearly as compositionally tight, vibrant, catchy, energetic, or thematically well executed as the debut LP. Different band members than the first album. The vocals sound slightly more trained, though I also feel that it doesn't tie in enough with the first album enough. Overall, this felt like a slight curve ball while also being a little bit safe. The City Morgue feature is unexpected but very much welcome, and kind of funny considering the "rivalry" between Oni the metal band and Oni the rap artist. Solid album, but I really wish they stayed away from these particular clean verses, as it sounds much more catered to the radio than to the progressive tendencies of the first.

So I will admit I'm not a huge emo fan. I don't dislike it, but it's not my first choice. From there, I'll say that I am inclined to agree with the viewpoints displayed across this album. That said, I can't help but feel like this album is a prime example of why someone would say "leave politics out of music." I think personal experiences relating to politics is very important for art... But I think the way they deliver it here undermines the message a little bit. There're a few too many lines that make me think "wait, why do you want me to care about that so much?" Which is weird among topics that do provide valuable assessments. Musically, this thing isn't bad, but it's not airtight. I thought the best parts were when other genres are crossing over. Unfortunately, a few overly familiar parts do rear their heads, and ultimately, this doesn't make me feel as emotional as it could. It gets very close a few times, but the other conjoining aspects feeling just short of the mark kind of drags the whole thing back. Kind of tired of it by the end. Still, certainly a good album, if only it could come off as more convincing or inviting by nailing the relevance of context more to outsiders.

This was literally my first time ever hearing an R. Kelly album front to back. While he's certainly locked into being effective at what he does, the lyrics can come off a lil bit tepid for the overall concept he's going for, which is a little questionable in context - half spiritual enlightenment and half "let's bang." It's just stereotypical 90s vibe music for fucking. While that may have been an accomplishment at the time, this serves like no practical purpose now unless you're looking for a really specific mood for your sex. Kinda cheesy & made me chuckle in the way that makes me go "damn, chicks are into this? Alright, dude, whatever works for you."

Slipknot Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
While this album arguably has Slipknot's peak artistic output, and the most prominent stylistic experiments to incorporate naturally into their sound, there are also some points where the signature qualities that defined them don't stand up to the previous albums. The guitarists show their capabilities more, but the tastefulness goes from enveloping on Vermillion pt 1 to straight wankery on Pulse of the Maggots. Where Iowa was raw through and through, some of the raw parts here felt like they were coming from a band that was wearing out that instinct a little bit.

This is sonically engaging, but most of the music just doesn't envelope me. Like... there really isn't any one particular quality I see as done exceedingly well. It's just a solid record, and probably amazing to a certain niche of people. Vocals grew on me a little, but I really couldn't help but think "wow, Fantano really knows people will eat up his opinion. Is he low-key trolling with this 10?" Ultimately, "sonically engaging" and "sounds like Disney" are the strongest qualities here...

Recorded in 8 days, this album is a burst of being entirely fed up with operating within an industry and just making something pure, which led to one of the greatest extreme industrial metal bands ever. Some tracks are anthemic and unforgettable, some are sonically grimy jams, and the tracks altogether flow well into a solid experience, laying an effective foundation.

Honestly not sure what the appeal is. Bars are ok, atmosphere is ok, delivery is flat, personality isn't really popping for me. The track with Lil Ugly Mane is basically my least favorite song with him. I'll eventually give this another listen, but it kind of just felt like biding time the whole way through, so I'll probably adjust my reasoning more than my rating.

I specifically listened to this album because of the low ratings here, having once enjoyed some of their work when they started. I have to say... it's really not that bad. The first half of the album has random bits that sound like good ideas that never really went anywhere. The second half is structured better, but unfortunately, I would say that the drummer (who is otherwise obviously capable) specifically is bringing this project down. There're a lot of spots where it feels like there's no real impact to the beat, and he's just flipping through rudimentary cymbal shuffles with an occasional kick or snare. It mostly seems like the guitarists are carrying the weight with rhythm segmentation while the drummer just keeps the beat, which is slightly underwhelming for a style with a sense of technical extravagance to it. The triangles and cowbells in blast beats kind of seems like a joke? I honestly can't tell. But there are still a lot of parts I like here, so idk... conflicting aspects ultimately make this average.
Between the Buried and Me The Anatomy Of
The thing about this covers album is that, even though all of the original songs are enjoyable, and even though they don't particularly raise or lower the quality the songs enough to ruin or elevate them, ultimately I don't really want to hear any of these renditions live, as they would most likely be out of place in a live set from BtBaM. My rating could be construed as a 3 for quality, but it's ultimately average to me because of lack of purpose and replay-ability.

Just couldn't get into this one. Feels like it couldn't ever be more than a b-sides. Can't pinpoint a single spot on this that's better than the worst parts of their official discography. They don't usually have bad hooks, either, but there's a couple I just don't want to sit through again. Production is rushed, no real refined gems. Seems like it's meant to be forgotten, to be blunt. What's one reason to hang on to this other than their previous work?

Machine Gun Kelly Tickets to My Downfall
Damnit, there's a good album in here somewhere... Like if there was pertinent lyricism and actual introspection and actual surges of youthful energy, I might be able to consider this some type of pop punk mainstream revival. Fortunately, I don't have to listen to the radio to find good pop punk. EDIT: Do you think Operation Ivy got money for "All I Know?"
Matthew Wilder I Don't Speak the Language
Oh my. What a rollercoaster of an album. Here's what each track's about: 1. Not letting a break-up bring you down. 2. American cars go vrrrm, just like American boys! 3. I want to fuck "native brown girls" on an island even though we can't communicate. This most certainly has nothing to do with the age of consent, why would I even mention that? 4. Fucking on a rooftop in the name of falling in love even though saying "leave our mark on each other" sounds like marking territory and moving on. 5. Ok, this bass groove is some grade A porn music. This song's about how being famous makes you have to watch your actions, can't be alone if you keep releasing albums *cough*. And also, it feels like being swept up on a rocket, baby... Trust me, I'm famous, I'll make you famous. Yeah, that's the kind of album this is. Damn it, why did that first track need to be such a banger? Can't help but question if he wrote it compared to everything else. Did he just outsource his future writing credits?Sociopaths should love this, but I'm not letting it near my kids. Lolol I dare you to read the lyrics to "I Was There" in the tone of an argument; Doesn't sound like it has honest intentions, does it?

+ Some of their best post-Black tracks. + Memorable riffs, appropriate energy. + Performances hit the mark, although - Kirk Hammett improvises his solos and you can tell in a bad way. - Bloated track-list; it's too much for one sitting / worth skipping parts of. = Overall, a worthy entry into the Metallica canon. Not too bad, not too impressive, but good enough for their status to fit them naturally.

Slipknot The End, So Far
Lyrics are the worst they've ever been, with some really silly phrasing. Almost every kick-in is like the version they do because they don't feel like doing it the way that works best anymore ("I know this works, but let's try it the other way"). Pretty damn tired compared to the last two albums. The whole thing feels like they figured out prog music is actually really good since Jay joined and they decided to turn into a prog band to make up for their core sound not getting enough creative juices going to hit the mark on aggression. I do recommend taking Corey's advice and buying brand new instead of the "same old thing" you'd get from a Slipknot album when they had more metal than butt prog on it. I mean... it's not bad as a whole, but those solos are really pulling a lot of the weight instead of the riffs. Maybe 3 songs on here I can appreciate front to back. Yen feels musically like a weaker take on Vermilion. De Sade takes from tracks like Prosthetics and Killpop, and despite being a stronger track on the album, still leans into dramatic, theatrical delivery moreso than the creepier qualities that are clear staples of their more artistically effective cuts. Overall, this feels too much like a swan song, if they don't stop after this, I'm gonna start drawing Logic comparisons.

Token Pink Is Better
Token makes a break-up album because he was cheating. Kudos for the honesty, but I don't think it necessarily helps to serve the consistency of the album. A lot of his appeal until this point is really just in trying to be a technically flashy rapper, and I don't think it really meshes enough for the substance to stand as a proper foundation. The beats are fine, and he sounds fine over them... Something just rubs me wrong about overly confessional albums. It's like the rule of "show, don't tell" in movies; This album uses imagery, but it doesn't carry weight for interpretation because he's being blunt in order for his personal purpose to be attached and put on display, whatever that may be. I really can't say most of this album is bad, and I can't say I've felt anything that would impact me either. By halfway through, I can't help but wonder about the implications of blaming money for your behavior. Bud, if this is what you want, you could actually make some type of stance instead of just being like "I wanted bitches, sorry babe." Album quality falls off towards back end. At its best, this is Token trying to be sexual with bass-heavy beats. Do what you will with that information. If there is any singular thing that Token should improve, I would say it's making more singularly topically pointed tracks, since each track here has varied flows but not varied substantiation of subject.

Hmm, ok... I hadn't heard anything by MGK that validated his popularity, based on his earlier and newer shit. This album at least makes it make sense. Production and vocals go well together. Coherent album. Got vibes. Vocals are at least trying to be serious, even if this dude can only go so far with his introspection without bouncing straight back to surface-level appeals. This is the better version of a rapper I instinctually want to push to the background in my head. EDIT: Yeah, I'm never listening to this overblown plastic product again.

Muse Will of the People
Ok... Track: #1 It's "The Beautiful People" gone stadium pop. James Corden style. #2 80s synthpop throwback that purposely tries to have no substance to support its lyrical theme. #3 Intro is ok, standard Muse fare, but then it becomes Queen and less catchy somehow? Why would I pick this over Queen? I don't really want to keep hashing this out. This does feel like an elongated experience for being somewhat short (10 tracks, 37 minutes). There's something that takes me out of basically every song, often the lyrics. In terms of overall enjoyment, I enjoy some of this... Less than half. I don't think this should be compared to early Muse. And there're barely any heavy parts, that was over hyped.
Mushroomhead XIII
Mute Sleepers
I feel like someone's going to be offended by this, but I really tried to like this and it just all sounds too similar and rudimentary to me. Most songs are in the same key, very basic progressions. The handling of the subject matter... Sounds very much like subpar emo lyrics in a teenage punk band. I'm sure people who are heavy into this style will like it, but it's just a chore for me before the halfway point. Their subsequent albums are drastically better.
Papa Roach Ego Trip
The tracks that I liked (relatively): Kill the Noise, Killing Time, Always Wondering. I don't want to revisit any of the rap/rock stuff, and tracks like Leave a Light On are unbearably bland to me. There are at least a few catchy parts on the album, but it's kind of self-defeating when most of the tracks don't really come together as memorably as the hooks. But that's just my experience.

Starting from the first track, there were laughs abound for me, at points where they clearly weren't intending humor. The instrumentals and overall structure wasn't too bad at the beginning of the album, but then the laughs start to give way to "really?" followed by "you really felt the need to do that?" and then "this is so bad." That's the most applicable description I can come up with right now. Why is it always some girl? Girls aren't the official metaphor for everything on the planet, bud.

When I was a kid, I had been to a few wedding receptions where most of the people there spoke a different language than me. I was bored and alone, didn't have a Gameboy or a phone, and just had to meander for at least 6 hours, trying to keep myself entertained while there're repetitive vibrations emanating from the walls. Usually, I didn't know the distant family member's spouse and had minimal context connecting me to their sense of joy. I did not understand the specific type of intoxication brewed from a mix of alcohol and intense love, nor did it seem at all enticing to me; In fact, I was totally put off of alcohol... This album made me feel exactly like that again, except this time it was the wedding of someone who I thought was trying to be my friend, but then just started to ignore me and act all different, only to come back berating me the moment I ask him what's up.
