Ice Nine Kills The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood4.0

2018
Pusha T DAYTONA4.0
Everything is really fresh and exciting for 1. Push to rap over and 2. For Kanye to produce. The
first two tracks melted my mind and Hard Piano lost me a little with the chorus and Ross. Come
Back Baby and Santeria are stellar and while Push holds it together WWMD is lost with Kanye's
rapping a bit. Infrared lets Push shine with a beautiful haunting beat slowly building behind him.
This record grabbed my attention and made me listen. I'd recommend it to anyone that still enjoys
meaningful production and lyricism in their rap music.

2017
Brand New Science Fiction3.5
Brand New evade the hype train by releasing a record out of nowhere, which was a good play. The record is fine, engrossing and emotive as per usual yet lacks the energy of early records that made us fall in love with our beloved Brand New. They played their hand correctly if this is their last record, and honestly I love it, just not amazed.
Canadian Softball Awkward and Depressed3.0
It's all made me chuckle, and some of the tracks (Average Joe, Great Again, Pink Wednesday) feel like parody as much as genuine pop-punk, which is nice, but all together it just feels like too much. It is done well, performed well yet not so cohesive in sound as it is parody, which may be okay for some. But the humor does not disguise the fact that it feels all over the place; even if it's trying to make fun of every facet of pop-punk it still feels like there is no centric nature to the record. Which bugs me. May not bug others. Idk, fuck it. I like it.
A Lot Like Birds DIVISI4.0
BTFO old sound off, out my way. This record needs revisited by the whole sputnik community. This
shit is tight. fuck the drama this band has in the past. this shit is funky and so well written.

2016

2015
Alex G Beach Music4.0
Nothing touches Salt, which is beyond phenomenal in many respects, but it all comes together nicely.
Senses Fail Pull the Thorns from Your Heart4.0
Even with certain musical decisions coming across a bit cluttered, Senses Fail are way more cathartic and carnal than ever. Despite lacking the flashy songwriting that once defined them, the dudes still create a record that pulverizes you while making you feel good about it.
Dance Gavin Dance Instant Gratification3.5
Love listening to the record, but I feel as if DGD are having trouble reconciling their sound with all of their the influences present.r3.3

2014
The Color Morale Hold On Pain Ends2.5
Riff Raff Neon Icon3.0
Exactly the kind of album you would come to expect from the ICON.
Say Anything Hebrews3.5
Is this record relevant without knowing anything about the band
prior to this record? Why the fuck is his fucking wife on every fucking song? Is
she really contributing anything that another artist couldn't? Bemis, you are still
kind of lame.
AJJ Christmas Island4.0
Trophy Scars Holy Vacants3.5
I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish here but it's pretty good. 3.6
Manchester Orchestra Cope3.5
Rather homogeneous in it's sound yet capturing such a beautiful catharsis in music, Cope is a great record that is as easy to consume as a candy bar.
Animals As Leaders The Joy of Motion4.0
Tycho Awake3.5
ScHoolboy Q Oxymoron3.5
When it comes down to it, Schoolboy Q delivers much more than songs about rap tropes.
Issues Issues2.5

2013
A Lot Like Birds No Place4.0
Deltron 3030 Event II3.0
Lacks the urgency of the first Deltron release. Del lacks the finesse he once had for making the material of Deltron's universe as captivating as it once was; he seems to have focused too much on referencing the first album rather than really establishing a transformation for himself.
Earl Sweatshirt Doris3.5
The National Trouble Will Find Me4.0
Daft Punk Random Access Memories3.5
The Wonder Years The Greatest Generation3.5
I kind of wish that these guys didn't bum me the fuck out every time I listen to
their record but at least it is honest music.

It only gets lame when Bemis tries to seem enlightened and unfortunately he does that a lot on this album.

I love listening to this record but I don't love how he samples some of the worst songs yet. "Single Ladies" and the Rihanna sample made me cringe.r3.3ish.
