John Cale - Mercy

 

John Cale - Mercy

 

new studio album in 7 years from the godfather of art pop, his mastery works very well with all random young collaborators and easy melodies to listen by genre standard. albeit vocal production shows his age (85 yrs old !), his visual ranges remain unmatched.

fav: STORY OF BLOOD, Moonstruck (Nico's Song), The Legal Status of Ice

 

Trippie Redd - Mansion Musik

 

Trippie Redd - Mansion Musik

 

throughout his career, there were so many acts in his peer that made impact and reference in community, xxxtentacion, 6ix9ine, pop smoke, lil pump/peep, playboy carti etc. deep into his long lasting career and he just being there, just there for existence, zero growth, a joke.

We Are Scientists - Lobes

wont say it's existed because it only release on tour release and no story/contents, as stated, their signature sugar coated indie pop just not gonna make more dense and seek more new fans judged by those uninspired autopilot production.

fav: Dispense With Sentiment, Human Resources, Lucky Just To Be Here

 

Hardy - the mockingbird & THE CROW

 

Hardy - the mockingbird & THE CROW

 

go by general texture of album then subjective opinion, pretty mediocre songwriting for chart while few highlights that standout. those country rock tracks also actually decent and showcase what album should be and deliver. however, it really is suck so bad.

fav: truck bed, here lies country music, drink one for me, title track ( happier than ever country version )

 

Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars

 

Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars

 

crystal clear cleanse palette alt metal that got great vocal amazing lyrics and not too over the top music with prog metal elements. it's like basic pop rock album with superb usage of genres to make visuals sound fantastic. easy, simple, clean, must hear.

fav: Austerity, Opaline, No Beacon to Illuminate Our Fall

 

Riverside - ID.Entity

 

Riverside - ID.Entity

 

the strength of this modern prog rock/metal is excellence dynamic pacing that low key stomp over others traditional albums. always new elements enhancing visuals on every segments to entertain despite of questionable lyrics

fav: Landmine Beat, The Place Where I Belong

 

The Murder Capital - Gigi's Recovery

 

The Murder Capital - Gigi's Recovery

 

cool lyrics/melodies on mellow post punk revival as cited as fountain DC counterpart, providing best offer for this genre could possible come up with, despite of commitment to visual to sound monotone at times and little to no content over story wise.

fav: Ethel, Thousand Lives, We Had to Disappear

 

Dave Rowntree - Radio Songs

 

Dave Rowntree - Radio Songs

 

took long enough well finally it's debut album from blur's drummer when every former band members already succeed on their own. for the contents, it's rusty art pop, stale and amateurish lyrics, boring production snoozefest vocal, why bother release at all?

fav: Downtown, Black Sheep, Devil's Island

 

Quevedo - Donde quiero estar

 

Quevedo - Donde quiero estar

 

plenty of hype surrounding the guy from well known hit and here is the debut, baby Anuel AA while showing good music choice, there are well... his first album. lot of flaws, loosen bars, mid beat, other collabs outshine, but listenable and bops, give him that. 

fav: PLAYA DEL INGLÉS, SIN SEÑAL, PUNTO G, MUÑECA

27/1/2023 week

 

busy week especially for pop so electronic/metal/ambient/obscure genres are excluded due to overwhelming releases.

 

Elle King - Come Get Your Wife

 

Elle King - Come Get Your Wife

 

sound okay for most parts until certain point to realize that she is kinda have nothing much to say via album content. solid production as main strength and great for country rock standard as female representation.

fav: Before You Met Me, Tulsa, Jersey Giant

 

Tyler Hubbard - Tyler Hubbard

 

Tyler Hubbard - Tyler Hubbard

 

not sure if going with AC knocked out bro-country would gain more fans or even anyone care about him anymore. everything is watered down version of his former band albums, too safe too bland. he cant win either way. not that bad tho, personally liking this more than elle king, that's accomplishment.

fav: Me For Me, Out This Way, By The Way, Way Home

 

Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here

 

Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here

 

surprise with outstanding neo-psychedelia album bro think he's kevin parker. however, the execution is all over the place, sober mumbling on misused vocaloid, lyrics is really really that bad, chaotic pacing, he clearly doesnt get the genres he's on. well album did its job from good reception.

fav: the BLACK seiminole, running out of time, drive ME crazy!

 

Summrs - Stuck In My Ways

 

Summrs - Stuck In My Ways

 

same format as his discography progressing, higher budget beat and production to give glimpse of hope of mainstream appeal. much better rhyming/bars, overall this deserves to be his breakout and introduces clean version of rage/trap rap to public.

fav: pure motion, no morals, van cleef poppin, miles on u, drug traffickin

 

Steve Vai - Vai/Gash

 

Steve Vai - Vai/Gash

 

old collection of his work with Johnny “Gash” Sombrotto who passed away long time ago, the tribute contains classic hard rock furious vocal mediocre riff that was popular around that time. most tracks are bad autopiloting but papa steve made some points with this

fav: In The Wind, Woman Fever

 

Samia - Honey

 

Samia - Honey

 

forgettable lullaby AC pop with everything here screams industry plant, half right though her debut got great reception and wonder why this weak album is her follow up. pandering to specific audience who like this type of pop... religious juvenile.

fav: Charm You, Sea Lions, title track

 

Eagle-Eye Cherry - Back on Track

 

Eagle-Eye Cherry - Back on Track

 

one hit wonder legend on another brand new album like damn is he still around? anyways, impressive melodies over this scandinavian pop rock, all is really great handwriting and quality production. obviously talented and hope this boosts his catalog.

fav: I Like It, All You Got, Rising Sun

 

Fucked Up - One Day

 

fvck3d Up - One Day

 

just not cutting it, lot of riffs are overwhelmed by screamo vocal and completely ruin it even for post-hardcore standard. with exception of 'cicada' as saving grace as most tamed track, it doesnt sound great it doesnt sound good, lyrics wise instead is fine.

fav: cicada, title track, roar

 

Slipmami - Malvatrem

 

Slipmami - Malvatrem

 

not bringing any new challenging brazilian funk rap that continues to be stagnant genre. all complain aside, her energy comes in full front, trashy bops after bad mixing bops, attitude over qualities and her rapping is acceptable.

fav: Problemas de confiança, Sou eu, Celibato

 

Ayumi Hamasaki - Remember You

 

Ayumi Hamasaki - Remember You

 

cant help being cringe but ayu was at her lowest...fat, nasty and broke. career in shambles. she came on this ***** mad as hell!!!. nice comeback with cool singles collection and her skills are clear optimized utilizing, maybe she still got it after all these years.

fav: 23rd monster, VIBEES, nonfiction

3/2/2023 week

 

the not-so-much calm after storm of releases last week, it's shania twain and raye time along with other neckbeard losers

 

Evita Manji - Spandrel?

 

Evita Manji - Spandrel?

 

another sophie demo toolkit leftover for this atmospheric depressive art pop, overwhelming demo production over vocal processing and laying mixes that sound pretty rough and ambiguous. listen for visual and ambition than contents itself.

fav: Pitch Black, XYZ / Labyrinth, Closer to Midnight       

 

파란노을 [Parannoul] - After the Magic

 

파란노을 [Parannoul] - After the Magic

 

current talk of the town album with incredible catalog to back up for renown korean shoegaze dream pop. the production visibility clearly shows impressive structures which hard to replicate, not much to dive deep into low effort visual and monotone pacing.

fav: We Shine at Night, Polaris, Blossom 

 

Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy

 

Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy

 

potential album of the album of hipsters sheepies. the blend usage of art pop, experimental, neo-soul and indietronica, as always, is spectacular and out with explosive visuals. sonically tense to produce as otherworldly abstract as much without quality boundaries that continue existing throughout their career.

fav: geronimo, i saw, be your lady

 

The Go! Team - Get Up Sequences Part Two

 

The Go! Team - Get Up Sequences Part Two

 

upbeat gym ready indietronica noise indie pop funky theme unlike much mellow version on their part one. the maximalism sound probably too much for whom not familiar with them while better cohesiveness and enlighten sunshine visual following assigned.

fav: The Me Frequency, Whammy, Train Song

 

MOD SUN - GOD SAVE THE TEEN

 

MOD SUN - GOD SAVE THE TEEN

 

for once, he's showing his age (35) for more genuine contents than regular pop punk with career's retrospective and his relationship. though most tracks are staying trashes by autopilot overdone formula, this is more about transitioning to his brighter future.

fav:  single mothers, shelter, avril's song

 

Carol Biazin - REVERSA

 

Carol Biazin - REVERSA

 

follow up project by brazilian pop chanteuse that serves non-traditional funk element as other brazil acts. for some reasons, tacky image and pretentious demeanor significantly drag down non-flavor music to question whether she takes her career serious or not at all.

fav: EX NÃO AMA, MALA MEMO, ÍNICIO DO FIM    

 

The WAEVE - The WAEVE

 

The WAEVE - The WAEVE

 

coincidence not with dave rowntree earlier week then former blur bandmate graham coxon woah on his new side project with the pipettes's rose elinor dougall. their chemistry here isnt work well, desyncing dynamic progression on this art rock feel forced to be too complex over most coxon efforts, great songwriting but underwhelming result what could this achieve.

fav: Someone Up There, Undine, Can I Call You  

 

jonatan leandoer96 - Sugar World

 

jonatan leandoer96 - Sugar World

 

rapper yung lean reverse alter ego act on traditional pop rock mostly just him and piano. once again, his vocal got charm attractive that relatable on rap beat or over this glam influence like cheering your friend singing off-key on karaoke bars. moods

fav: Blue Light, Nightmare Amusement Park  

 

Sunny War - Anarchist Gospel

 

Sunny War - Anarchist Gospel

 

risky idea when artist relentless thought about exploring more genres and alienate old sound. her new album attempting blue rock with psychedelic soul sort of camp fire beer and wing about that genre, it's pretty loose collection whether track still sound folk or loud mixing on those upbeat ones. inconsistent record and lack of oomph soul spark to make this standout.

fav: shelter and storm, hopeless, whole 

 

The Smashing Pumpkins - ATUM - Act II

 

The Smashing Pumpkins - ATUM - Act II

 

most complain about act i was it being too robotic and merely existed with mediocre lyrics, for act ii, billy's vocal improves emotional wise and good control pacing, the new issue is how inconsistent the album production is, shaky weird choice of structures, errie non-sensibleness melodies that sound not pleasure and questionable. not looking good but act iii in april might change opinions.

fav: To The Grays, Night Waves, Beguiled

10/2/2023 week

 

almost all major releases this week exists in music industry more than a decade to their names (paramore, kelela, flume, etc.), hell even rebecca black too

 

Yo La Tengo - This Stupid World

 

Yo La Tengo - This Stupid World

 

newest 17th !!! album of them, damn it, their well-known indie rock with few sub-genres in-between sonically expresses in soothing atmospheric along unnecessary experimental chords that only make this record going nowhere. few good selective tracks but high key messy album overall.

fav: fallout, aselestine, title track     

 

You Me At Six - TRUTH DECAY

 

You Me At Six - TRUTH DECAY

 

other than more post-hardcore elements instead of pop punk in this, they cruise another signature sound album that fans should love and support whatever solid outputs they've been consistent and delivered every times. surprisingly sound great on this approach despite of first half frontloaded.

fav: mixed emotion, no future? yeah right, a love letter to those who feel lost

 

Pierce The Veil - The Jaws of Life

 

Pierce The Veil - The Jaws of Life

 

baiting everyone to think that album would follow lead single direction as heavy hitting grudge max emo. NOPE it's basic vanilla emo pop over album tracks with all that fluff riffs, only vic's vocal made it not too much of AC pop rock. by all means, people changes so as them.

fav: Pass the Nirvana, Even When I'm Not With You, Emergency Contact

 

In Flames - Foregone

 

In Flames - Foregone

 

the inventor of melodic death metal the blueprint the father the mother of metalcore unwraps their mummified to modernize turn of album. plenty of bangers here on their raw aggressive screamo and smooth shifting on vocal part, not in form of crap 'battles' was and instead they redeem their rep back here.

fav: State of Slow Decay, Foregone Pt. 2, Cynosure

 

Andy Shauf - Norm

 

Andy Shauf - Norm

 

when you know your formula is always work and sound timeless eternal represent how great they are, there is zero reason to adapt or twist out of spite. perfect for walking after routine work to home for this chill sweet melancholy chamber pop that's on full speed autopilot.

fav: paradise cinema, catch your eye, long throw

 

Quasi - Breaking the Balls of History

 

Quasi - Breaking the Balls of History

 

quirky raw fun straight up no BS indie rock contrast to their moody dark lyrics, the accessible of them to showcase on album is basic good old formula and so catchy among all tracks. prime example where unique good melodies and production are what set apart talent out of those autopilot bands.

fav: riots & jokes, back in your tree, queen of ears 

 

Black Belt Eagle Scout - The Land, the Water, the Sky

 

Black Belt Eagle Scout - The Land, the Water, the Sky

 

indie rock/dream pop version of spoiled rich girls on bench vacation with their open air mobile, serving not a single substance of contents more than resting/reading book/campfire/play with fishes like cover art. mediocre on all aspects but visual is exact spot on, ethereal vocal, great background music.

fav: sedna, treeline, blue

 

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - The Future Is Your Past

 

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - The Future Is Your Past

 

so easily to get lost in his signature sound of this neo-psych rock where are full of subtle details yet also great when not pay attention to album. the masterful skills which has been evolved since 1995 put on work from amazing lyrics to reverberate dynamic production that always deliver.

fav: fudge, as the carousel swings, nothing can stop the sound

 

Chase Rice - I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell

 

Chase Rice - I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell

 

although the nature of growing from bro-country to more traditional stripped down route seems like good idea on paper, but not with these lyrics style that remains bad and still need much more works on that department. pretentious aside, someday he should get to that point of career if keeps trying.

fav: all dogs go to hell, beach seat, oklahama

 

Kash Doll - Back on Dexter: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape

 

Kash Doll - Back on Dexter: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape

 

not accept the fate being fad of 2018 and spend all rent money (or laundering on a context) back on new mixtape new project. acceptable curated beats on dj drama behalf while most effort is best she could ever put on work, obvious flaws and bad mixing exist but look like she tries a little bit.

fav: oh boy, on the flo, add it up
