/daily/ - 311 Edition

>>71525636
Just came in to say thank you

Investigate 311

Why do no 90% of ambient albums on rym have some twelve paragraph long ultra-sentimental non-review with 20+ upvotes where the reviewer talks about their childhood and shedding a single tear every time they play that album and quote Thomas Pynchon or some shit? Imagine if Pitchfork or any other music publication wrote a review like that. People would shit on them SO hard (deservedly).

Can we stop this shit? Like, now, preferably?

Holy shit MacKenzie Theory (and this Out Of The Blue album) is so good. They can get that funky sound in their rock without overdoing it, the textures are so diverse, the violin is absolutely rockin it, too. The note choices are making me smile.

I think the top review on Hampus' Magenta Circuit parodies this pretty well imo:

>>71525683
Can we just kill this type of reviews for all kinds of music because this happens so much in every other genre

>>71525716
Oh my god i love that review so much
I listened to this ep a while ago and it was p bad desu but not a 1.38 bad, like a 2.05 bad

>>71525757
yeah shit happens all the time and it always is super highly praised. I always find sad singer/songeriter and ambient music are the big offenders though. Can we just talk about what you liked/dislike about the music instead of name-dropping how many philosophers you've read wikipedia summaries about? Shit drives me up the wall.

>>71525683
holy shit I never noticed this but it's so true. I can't think of any examples but I see it all the time.

Peep the reviews of these albums that have the most upvotes (not necessarily the ones that show up first). A lot of garbage non-reviews about crying. A common theme in ambient I've noticed.

And just for fun, here's a GOOD highly rated ambient album review:
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/aphex_twin/selected-ambient-works-volume-ii/
Not incredible or anything, but it actually talks about the MUSIC!! Fancy that!

>>71525821
>sad singer/songwriter and ambient music are the big offenders though
Absolutely correct. I don't mind people just writing about their childhoods and being all super sentimental and emotion, they're not professional reviewers and they don't need to follow any rules to review, but don't try to fucking legitimize it by adding shitty philosopher quotes.

>>71525933
Whenever i do my chart i'm gonna mark every album that has one of these reviews just to see how bad the ratio is. My new chart is mostly bleep and jazz so i dont think i'll find much.

>>71525683
as someone who has penned a review of that very type i apologize

>>71525974
Yeah. I enjoy popular accounts like telephone_junkie and a lot of their funny reviews, but in all honesty 3/4th of their reviews are just like that, and should probably be deleted from RYM because they're usually never actually about the music.

I like how RYM almost never promotes the shit sentimental reviews on the front page and almost all the ones there are actually about the music.

>>71526111
nice trips and good meme

>>71526157
haha it's fine idc but it just annoys me how common they are and how highly they're praised.

>>71525683
a lot of those reviews are shit but I like sentimental reviews, music is emotional so it's nice seeing the attachment others have to it. it does help if they talk about the music at least a little tho.

wew am arguing with you a lot today

>>71526376
Personally, if you're writing a longer review, I think you should never use the word "I" in the first 4th of your review, or even the first paragraph. I've found referencing yourself is an easy way to alienate someone when you're trying to write something convincing. Especially if it doesn't apply to the music. I'm guilty of this in my Kairon; IRSE review that got front-page'd though.

And I like plenty of ultra-sentimental reviews when they're more substance (talking about the music and how it effected them) rather than pure feeling (talking about how they lay in an empty field, quote obscure philosophers, and drink la croix). The latter says nothing to me other than you might have just found this when you were very impressionable.

And I'm saying a lot of edgy shit so it's to be expected haha.

>el violador de conejos
collab with bad bunny when

this looks like a parody of reggaeton desu, the very very straightforward lyrics and video, very simple beat, short length and wacky looking emcee gives off that vibe. especially that weird instagram video that plays at the end. still a pretty solid track, where's he from? pretty obvious it's not a puertorican.

mega francesita was alright, mix of house/edm music with reggaeton, but it didn't interest me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw9xFEf4DSc
you hear the new bad bunny track?

>>71528286
Haven't listened to this one
>good mix of edm and reggaeton
The focus is the hatsune miku sample desu, that's the kind of shit i am looking forward to. And yes it's kind of a parody but he seems serious about it. The track is straight fire with women and it fucking bangs. And no, this new Bad Bunny track i haven't check, i will later. Bad Bunny is the most interesting guy in reggaeton right now, his flow is amazing and he is even making a bunch of venezuelan rappers go trap. Right now it's either him, Bryant Mayers and Arcangel (EL DUENDE MALVADO) as the front runners of latin trap. All based lads. #RG4L #freeanuel

Any Pig Destroyer fans here? Heard an interesting interpretation regarding Prowler in the Yard and it's intro.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjlSZwCoXDU

"Does anyone else think that the intro might be a metaphor for how we as fans of brutal music interpret the art form in comparison to the rest of the world? The girls are the music, the perverted guy is us and the lady is reflective of mainstream attitudes towards extreme expressions of transgressive art."

Arcangel's been in the game since 2004 though, glad he made a comeback and with actual good music haha. I think right now bryant myers is the front runner of latin trap and bad bunny is the up and comer that's gonna change the scene. That is, until Anuel comes outta jail #freeanuel

Seu Jorge - The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions Featuring Seu Jorge (2005)
>film soundtrack, acoustic rock, MPB

Portugese covers of Bowie songs with a nice MPB twist. It's all really pleasant, and Jorge is a great vocalist and guitarist, but this is really just background music at it's core. The rhythmic differences and of course the differences in volume make these songs different from Bowie's originals, but besides that the songs are all still here, written the same way they were when they were first recorded. In making Bowie's music more low-key you lose a lot of the great moments present in the original tracks, namely the great choruses. The soaring choruses of "Starman" and "Life on Mars?", to name a few, lose a lot when the arrangements are taken out and replaced with pleasant acoustic guitar stuff. I like this, it's a pleasant listen and a nice addendum to both Bowie and Jorge's catalogues, along with the film itself, but it's not anything I would ever return to, Jorge's great but no one can really do justice to these tracks and make covers of them worthwhile at all.

Vladislav Delay - Kuopio (2012)
>dub techno, ambient techno

Wow, I didn't know this guy could make something as banging and hard-hitting as this. Entain and Vocalcity are both great albums, but they're far from what I would consider "hard-hitting", they're nice, smooth, occasionally glitchy ambient techno albums. This, however, borders on industrial techno at some points, and it's pretty fucking awesome. Not big on the more ambient tracks, and sometimes the tracks take a bit too long to get going, but most of this is /really/ damn good. I always kinda thought that Vladislav Delay burned out early in his career because I've rarely heard any fanfare for his most recent stuff, but this is one of the more interesting, banging, most entertaining techno releases I've heard in a while.

>The Necks - Unfold

This is their 19th studio album and still no dip in quality. In fact, Blue Mountain may be one of their best tracks ever. Though it's difficult to classify a best Necks track since most of their records are released as one.

Unfold is not so much an album as it is a collection of songs. The Necks have stated that there is no intended ordering of the four 15-20 minute tracks and they encourage people to figure out an order that suits them. Perhaps it's a little gimmicky, but I don't dislike this idea. I'll start off with Blue Mountain since it's my aforementioned personal favorite and I've been listening to it non-stop. The way this song builds is nothing short of orgasmic. The Necks slowly craft and build these massive, lumbering epics without drifting off into noise or solo wankery, which is probably why I love almost all of their output. Blue Mountain is one of the best examples of this and it rivals Flood by Boris (though to be fair to Flood, Blue Mountain does not spend as long a time building up).

It starts off like any Necks track would, and once again I am astounded by the range of sounds that this band is able to squeeze out of piano, drums, and bass. Though this album in particular adds a lot of ancillary percussion. They are these metallic sounds that I can't easily classify. The track continues, a piano riff being the main focus that dances on top of the rolling drums and the twinkling chimes in the background. The double bass is slowly chugging along as well, sometimes swelling quietly in the background but never overtaking the piano. It's kind of a melancholy tune and very hypnotic. It's like jazzy ASMR to me.

(1/2)

>>71529313
The track evolves so slowly that you don't even notice it, and all of a sudden, the drums are really pounding now, cymbals are clashing, and the piano has become more pensive. You need to listen to this song LOUD. And I mean LOUD. It's really something. From here on out, it can't be described, only experienced. The way they hold this behemoth together without devolving into complete chaos really speaks to this band's genius and skill. Once again, before you know it, it’s over and you bask in the glory.

While the remaining 3 tracks don’t come close to Blue Mountain in terms of quality, I think they are quite good when compared to most of their songs, and like I mentioned before, their percussion is super inventive this time around. Timepiece, the longest track on the album, is a pretty big departure from their regular sound, surging forth from the primordial ooze. It’s off kilter and tribal sounding though still being, as usual, hypnotic and evolving. The track is muddy, dark, and almost industrial if not for the shimmering piano to lighten the mood. Unfortunately, as interesting as this track sounds, the progression isn’t the best, only getting more energetic over time and not going anywhere particularly interesting. As mood music, it works well.

Rise is kind of the polar opposite, with a standard sound but with really fucking weird progression that sounds like a bunch of instruments being played separately, somewhat coming together and making sense briefly before slightly shifting off to something else. I like it quite a lot. It’s nice when this kind of laid back music fucks with your expectations.

(lol I misjudged how much I wrote there's another part)

>>71529338
Overhear is my least favorite off this album because of this rather annoying instrument that is constantly in the background. I don’t know what the fuck it is, but it sounds like someone scraping something or shaking rice in a metal bowl. It would have an ASMR-like quality to it if it wasn’t so damn loud. Despite this, the organ playing on this track is stellar and the constant seesaw heartbeat of the bass is pleasant. It’s the most minimal track on this album, and to be honest it holds the album back a lot, and I bet a lot of people who listen to this album will absolutely hate this track but oh well.

Overall, great album despite minor flaws that presents a deep atmosphere to get lost in, which is what I always look for in music. So yeah take this review with a grain of salt because I’m becoming a fanboy and in my eyes these guys can do no wrong.

tl;dr listen to blue mountain holy shit it’s so good it’s on spotify, it’s 20 minutes long, you have no excuse

All Delighted People has some of Suffy's best and most relistenable opening track, and is super bloated. Predicting a 2.0/2.5.

I predict you will give 2.5 to Godspeed even though that's their best (follow a reply to this post with their best IS a 2.5 hur hur so original).

>>71529539

Okay ya know what no you're right.

Slow Riot > Allelujah > FA∞ > Skinny Fists > Yankee > Asunder

I'm sure everyone else would probably swap skinny fists and allelujah but I'm edgy like that mang.

Hot opinion: crescendocore is 100% best post-rock and GY!BE has one of the most solid, consistent outputs of any band ever.

Hell yeah I am BLASTING Godspeed tonight when I'm slammed and no one is gonna stop me.

Abdel Karim el Kabli - Sudan: The Music and Songs of Abdel Karim el Kably (????)
>nubian music

There is a /lot/ of passion here, but it's very low-key. el Kably's playing and singing is very calm and controlled, but there's a lot of power and feeling underneath the surface. While the tracks might sometimes feel a bit too passive and unobtrusive, the performance here makes up for any shortcomings in the actual songwriting, so the album is just a damn nice listen. I've gotta dig into more nubian music.

Boy I'm really slowing down w/ these. This chart may have been too ambitious

Henry Flynt - You Are My Everlovin/Celestial Power
>Drone, Minimalism, Free Folk

This is exactly the kind of stuff /daily/ loves but I just can’t for the life of me get into. The concept is quite unique, as Flynt blends Hindustani Classical music with some country/folk influences. It feels a lot like the Pelt album I checked out, with repetitive instrumentation (duh) but also some little folky in a weird way. There’s some hillbilly blues kind of stuff thrown in here, which makes this interesting, particularly on “Celestial Power”. But I think this is a prime example of an album that’s much better in concept that execution, I couldn’t get into this at all.

There was really goofy shit on there, but it was backed up with legitimately good music. Perfect use of saxaphone stabs, nice electronic textures, those angular melodies you tend to hear in a lot of New Wave that were just great here. I mean goddamn, it was fantastic.

>>71531468
It's a great record for sure, most people 'round here tend to bash poor ol' zolo, I'm glad we've found ourselves another fan.

Check out Snakefinger - Greener Postures sometime.

>>71531530

I have heard Snakefinger before, actually, all three of his albums. I've also heard Renaldo & The Loaf.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n84gukSyyhE

This song still pops into my head. I love the low-fi sound, the goofy nursery rhyme lyrics contrasting with this serious moody bass part that comes right after, and then back to the goofy lyrics.

友川かずき - 肉声 (Nikusei) (1976)
>avant-folk, contemporary folk

You've all gushed over this guy's vocals, and I have to agree with this praise. The guttural, earth-shaking vocals really are quite wonderful, and they convey a lot of emotion and passion that the instrumentals and songs themselves really don't. That being said, the instrumentation is mostly just normal '70s folk stuff. When it's just Tomokawa and his guitar, it's great, but the more fully orchestrated tracks are unmemorable at best, carried only by the vocal performance. It's not a bad album, but I'd really love to see these vocals used in a much more fitting context.

Women - Women (2008)
>noise rock, post-punk

Like a scrapbook of strewn-together ideas for the much more coherent, focused, and better Public Strain. They definitely flex their more experimental tendencies here, with some drone and noise tracks thrown into the mix with more straight-up post-punk and indie rock, but these experimental tracks really amount to nothing. They feel like filler on a 30-minute album, and they don't do much besides take away time from the really great songwriting here. The songwriting is pretty damn great. Not as good as it is on their folllow-up, but they write a damn good pop song, and the noisier, punkier tracks are well-written as well. It's just a shame that the tracks that showcase this talent are somewhat few and far between, pushed to the side in favor of tracks that don't sit well with me a single bit.

2.5-

Kinda disappointed in this. I can see how revolutionary this is, but it wasn't enjoyable really.

I do have respect for it though.

Jib Kidder - Steal Guitar
>Plunderphonics, Country & Western

Aptly named, it’s all in the genre descriptors. It’s a plunderphonics/instrumental hip hop album that heavily samples county and western music. It’s got a consistently lighthearted, jangly vibe to it, and although few tracks really stand out, it is consistently groovy. Kidder is not afraid to sit on a quick loop of a few samples for a while, but he’s also completely okay with only running a loop only one or twice before shifting gears. It comes off as a bit of a tex mex beat tape honestly. If you’re looking for “Frontier Psychiatrist”-level dementedness in its western-themed sampling, this project would disappoint, but it’s a fun little listen.

6+/10

One of the weaker releases by Phil. Not very intriguing. The whole thing was like his song "How?", except not as great. The whole nature-esque sound of it all was comfy as usual though.

Blanche Blanche Blanche - Wink With Both Eyes
>Minimal Synth, Bedroom Pop, Twee

One of those lo-fi indie/noise/bedroom pop records with demure, disaffected twee male and female vocals, all over minimal synth stuff. It’s often oddly, densely, almost pointlessly polyrhythmic to the point of near arhythmic-ness. And like many albums that take a similar approach, it has its moments where it reaches some moments of unintentionally beautiful syncopation. Like, even if the loops are running with different lengths, eventually they’ll line up with a well-placed vocal melody, and it just sounds perfect for good 2-3 seconds. Early in the album, this seems to be much more accidental than intentional, but as the album progresses, the band makes a clear shift in direction and starts executing much more consistently.

Now, this album starts out purely synthetically, and after the initial shock and wonder of its style wears off, it becomes quickly boring. All these tracks are one-thirty-ish to three-forty-ish minutes long, and it wears pretty quickly.

>cont.

Then, all of a sudden, the album picks the fuck up at “Jason’s List”. Boring, uninspired-sounding twee dredge turns into sharp, poppy, sentimental songwriting. “Jason’s List”; with its stacked vocal loop climax, “Mercantile Rugs”; jangly acoustic guitars lend a sing-song Elephant 6 vibe, “That’s Siberia” is almost hazy DeMarco lazy pop, “The Fake” is snappy; featuring a fun instrumental break and fun call and response vocals, “Ana’s Life” displays expert control over dynamics; adding and dropping synths, “Body Talk” displays a Morrissey-like vocal approach… All of a sudden Blanche Blanche Blanche become fantastic, quirky songwriters. Even on covers like “With Or Without You”, if it weren’t for the lyrics, I would never have recognized it was originally U2’s. “She’s Adopted” miraculously brings together shoegaze-like guitar sounds and a triumphant 80s stadium rock down; to the level of bedroom pop, “Appetite” indulges in sweet vocal harmonization, “Duke on the Beach” features sliding vocal melismas and a certain beautiful softness. The closer, “4amous 4” is a kind of collage of sorts, with well written transitions. It’s a fine closer to the album, and showcases the band’s pop sensibilities and synth experiments nicely.

Oh and of course it’s on Night People. What the heck.

7+/10

Kazuki Tomokawa - Nikusei (1976)
>Psychedelic Folk, Folk Rock, Psychedelic Rock
I'm generally in agreement with Nat on this one. The more stripped-back songs where he really get's wild are straight up fantastic. He's like an unhinged, japanese Simon Finn. The use of percussion to up the intensity is implemented really well and lends to the dark, passionate atmosphere of the folkier tracks. Even to mellow songs are still quite pleasant and beautiful. The songs with fuller instrumentation are pretty weak in comparison however. The sound is pretty dated and kinda just feels like a Pink Floyd rip-off at time. Nothing unique or exemplary, and rarely does he go off into vocal frenzies on these songs, they are pretty mundane.

it seems like everyone but me is wrong, or they#re getting at it from the perspective of lazy one-sentence reviewers because this thread kind of makes those necessary, or of smug assholes because this is 4chan, i'm no exception to that of course

>1 sentence about the music
it depends man, i'm more on about like i said the smug asshole part. it's like you're trying to scare people away in the absolutely lowest way possible and you're reaching for that self-satisfaction that comes from "BTFO"ing something too, because as evidenced by the fact there's no such thing as "guilty displeasures" a negative public opinion has much greater imact than a positive one, doesnt it?
meanwhile if you're being intimate in your writing you're actually being more corageous because you're opening yourself up to such cynicism, that's why i have less of a problem with it, because it's just what the worst aspects of internet culture are out to kill

>that's not a music review
that's being creative with the format of music reviews, there's nothing wrong with that. reviews being concise and informative is cool but if someone wants to try out something different, there's nothing wrong with that. but sometimes the sentimental musings of someone like telephone_junkie are a good selling point for an album to me anyways just because then it shows it could elicit that kind of reaction out of someone, maybe it could do the same for me!

>could you give me an example? I bet it would be terrible.
no matter what i post you'll say it's terrible
a long, personal review can be well written too of course, if i find you one of those you'll just say "well that's an exception" or disagree with me on the matter

but it's rare so i'll concede, this guy did some of those:

The Delfonics - La La Means I Love You
>Philly Soul

I don’t know anything about the Philly soul scene but this certainly wasn’t the best intro. The production is so over the top, with lush string arrangements and schmaltzy little horn riffs. I usually dig these elements in soul but here they sound way too smooth and cornily sentimental. Hart’s falsetto blends right into the strings and I think that’s probably the worst part of the album. The bass is really bouncy and the funky guitar sounds kind of cool on a few tracks, I might even like them paired with a different performer. The voices on here are too much for me and honestly annoyed me about halfway through. “You Are Gone” is classic, “I’m Sorry” is solid and “Losing You” has a cool instrumental. The rest kind of blends together though.

2.0/5

The Kinks - Arthur
>Pop Rock, Psychedelic Pop

I’m not sure what it is that I love so much about The Kinks. They have a brand of psychedelic pop that just sticks with me in a weird way. It’s as 60s sounding as it gets, with nice upbeat riffs, some little jangly guitar and occasional little string section. There’s even little brass sections which can easily sound cheesy but they pull it off. The lyrics are much darker than I was expecting too, which contrasts pretty strongly with the instruments.

Also, every band member seems to be perfectly in sync man. They go through easy pop songs flawlessly and even dive into a few complex tracks. “Yes Sir, No Sir” and “Australia” even have multiple passages that flow into each other seamlessly and surprisingly don’t feel forced or awkward. Aside from “Shangri-La”, which I found annoying, everything on here is infectiously catchy and poignant. Weirdly reminded me a lot of the jangly alt-rock groups I like from the 80s/90s.

Probably my favorite Kinks album so far

4.5/5

I read all of Astigmata's reviews and I want to listen to none of those albums now. And plenty of his reviews are "one sentence smug btfos" so Idk what you're even talking about. Even so, almost none of his reviews are like the ones I was quoting. Just look up any popular ambient album and you'll find a cavalcade of sentimental essays which don't talk about the music.

And almost none (except for the shitty Orgasm review I did, which we have already decided was terrible) of the reviews I've done recently are quite "snarky btfo pans". Like 90% of anything I talk about is anywhere from 4 to 8, which is hardly that at all. And even though they're occasionally snarky and usually short, they're at least about the music and almost never for "BTFO satisfaction" that you claim they are. If that were actually my main goal why would I even go through the effort of discussing music I enjoyed?

And like I already said ITT, I enjoy telephone_junkie, but if he wasn't a RYM celeb a good chunk of his reviews would probably be removed for having little or nothing to do with the music. I wrote a pretty shitty non-review like that years ago and it got taken down near immediately (deservedly).

Also, I think you're thinking in extremes here, as if there's only snarky 2/10 christgau-esque pans, and ultra over-sentimental reviews that quote philosophy forewords. Rather, I think there's a large sum of happy mediums on that site. My main remark was that there were a copious amount of shit reviews that I mentioned in the ambient genre, and not really a critique on that format as a whole.

I know it might be kind of radical, but I just think a reviewer should probably talk about the music more and refer to themselves much less.

Again, my problem wasn't with those kind of reviews at all, just the hilarious fact that too many exist in popular ambient albums.

>>71543528
>as evidenced by the fact there's no such thing as "guilty displeasures"
are you saying there aren't albums you "feel like you should like but don't"? I probably have plenty of these, assuming that's what you're talking about. Eno and Bowie are prime examples for me, as I've never really enjoyed many of their albums and felt like I probably should.

I don't think they SHOULD exist though but I think they do. Guilty pleasures shouldn't exist either, but they obviously do since people have a name for it at all (I guess ABBA would have to be a "guilty pleasure" for me? I don't feel "guilty" for liking a few well-written pop songs tho lmao). You shouldn't feel ashamed about what you like/dislike and doing otherwise is being a giant poser imo.

No hate, but if I were to describe your taste it would be "the collective consciousness of people's guilty pleasures". Again no hate because you're fun to talk to and well-reasoned.

>>71544396
don't think of this as an argument btw I just h8 shitty reviews and I think we disagree about the purpose of reviews in general. I'm more rigid and think reviews should serve as "here's what is/isn't good about the album/here's why you should/shouldn't listen to this" and really nothing else. I guess that means I should be criticizing myself more often and being more strict about my own reviews/writing style than going around policing people then.

>>71544569
meh example because it's probably just the fact that there is a catchy term for that so the concept spreads more easily and obviously there's a snowball effect with classic albums too but i've been brooding on this thought that snark sways people more easily for a bit, because it's a handy device as it doesn't require a lot of elaboration and thus is also easier to spread and swallow (marketing methods 101), and i felt like throwing it in there because it's related and you might feel where i'm coming from. Milo's fame/infamy relies solely on that

>if I were to describe your taste it would be "the collective consciousness of people's guilty pleasures"
that's p funny

Schoolly-D - s/t (1986)
>East Coast Hip Hop, Gangsta Rap, Turntablism
I heard Ice T talking about how P.S.K. was the original gangsta rap song, and that he basically copied Schoolly's cadence for his groundbreaking single, 6 'n the Mornin'. I can see what he was talking about calling this an early gangsta rap pioneer, the lyrics, not only on P.S.K., are pretty edgy for 1986. Schoolly isn't afraid to drop some f-bombs and throw around the n-word at all. He also takes on a noticeably more menacing tone, rapping about knock homies out, pimpin', and just generally causing a ruckus. He's definitely not on the stone-cold gangsta level of some of his later followers like NWA, but he is pretty rough for 1986. His flow isn't the greatest, it kind of depends on the song, sometime it's right on the dot, other times he's sort of slurring and tripping a little. Definitely not bad, just inconsistent. Worst part is that in a lot of songs his rapping just isn't clear. It's kind of muddied under the booming production, which sucks cause there are some really killer lines that you just want to shout.
The beats here are actually my favorite part. They're extremely stripped down and airy, but I wouldn't say minimal. Schoolly programs all his own drums. All the beats are constructed of just Drums and a whole lot of reverb. No bass, no bells and whistles, yet somehow he manages to use every part of the buffalo. Equipped with just an 808, he drops some of the danciest, heaviest beats of 1986. The rhythms are off the hook, I danced up a storm to this motherfucker. Sometimes he recycles ideas a little too frequently but it never gets aggravating. And everything is absolutely slathered in reverb. It gives off this massive, earth-shattering, dance hall vibe.
The scratching on this record is also top notch. Really complements the bare-bones style to just have these tinny turntable stabs hitting every bar.
Enjoyed this way more than anticipated.

This album is alot looser than I expected. I was anticipating a solid MPB album with a standard structure. What I got instead was a very "free" sounding album that isn't afraid to build on a certain chord progression or whatever for the duration of said track. Needs a little bit to grow on me. Nine out of Ten is a GREAT song tho.

Battles - Mirrored (2007)
>math rock

The first two tracks are /really/ good. They both take math rock into places that other bands have never really explored, injecting a very playful, poppy feel into the ultra-complex compositions. "Race : In" is just really fun to listen to, and "Atlas" is a pounding, danceable track with some impeccable, tribal drum work. For how good all the other performers are, Stanier is the real star of the show here, he's still got a lot of heavy, tribal sensibilities from his work with Helmet but he tones down the power a lot here and delivers some of the catchiest, most memorable drum lines I've ever heard. All the other performances are great as well, but save for the first two tracks the songwriting isn't anything to write home about. The band seems more than content to just noodle around on their instruments for half of these tracks, and the technicality is obviously impressive, but the ultra-plastic sound of this album only works when the songs are appropriately catchy and shimmering, when the songs are bland and static, the aesthetic comes off as irritating. Since a majority of the songwriting here is fairly bland, I'm not too big on this as a whole. But it's a fun listen with some killer performances, so I can't knock it too much.

Schoolly-D - Schoolly-D (1985)
>east coast hip hop, gangsta rap

It's a very obviously influential album, and it has its merits as an individual album, but I'm not really feeling this. Schoolly-D's lyrical content was ground-breaking, especially on "P.S.K. "What Does It Mean"?", my favorite track on the album, but his delivery is a bit corny, and he trips a bit over his words on some tracks. The beats are more interesting than the rapping, but even they have their problems. The heavy use of reverb is a nice touch, and the album's most interesting characteristic, but it can't mask some of the cheaper sounding, more generic tracks. The drum programming is the album's weakest link production-wise, it sounds very, /very/ cheap, but it's at least somewhat saved by how interesting and idiosynratic the reverb is. Total mixed bag of an album, but really interesting for it's time period, at the very least.

My favorite songs of Toledo's are generally his more concise songs, mainly "Sober to Death", which is probably one of the best songs of the decade so far, so I was a bit apprehensive coming into an album bookended by two 10+ minute tracks. Lucky me, it's probably my favorite of his I've heard. It lacks the more attention grabbing melodies and climaxes of Twin Fantasy or Teens of Denial, but the slow-burning, progressive nature of a lot of these tracks is really good, and incredibly impressive given the limits of Toledo's style of recording. He manages to eke out more interesting ideas and songwriting tricks with his lo-fi bedroom pop technique than thousands of full-studio bands can over a dozen albums. It's really impressive, and a great example of the guy's talents. The shorter tracks do lack the sheer weight and memorability of the longer tracks, and "America (Never Been)"'s weird synthpop-esque production sticks out like a sore thumb, but the bookend tracks are incredible, and "Beast Monster Thing (Love Isn't Love Enough)" ranks with some of this guy's best work.

3.0+

fair point, i guess i just really don't like that kind of drum machine's usage in hip hop. it always sits better with me in house/techno for whatever reason.

Clifford Jordan & John Gilmore - Blowing In From Chicago
>Hard Bop

A dual saxophone lead hard bop sesh. Both leaders are fantastic, catchy and upbeat, all throughout the album. The band is tight too, following along on what could easily result in an awkward recording. Of course, it helps that Art Blakey is the drummer and Horace Silver is rocking it on the piano. They all trade off surprisingly well, with the two saxophonists in particular just ripping through furious solos. I know improvisation is at the root of pretty much all jazz but for some reason this feels more organic. Maybe it’s the fact that this is fast/hard bop or the fact that this has two leaders, idk. Most of this is just the two saxes trading off, with an occasional little drum passage from Blakey or piano riff from Silver popping out. The focus is clearly on Jordan & Gilmore though.

Anyway, hard to go wrong with hard bop in my book, this is no exception.

3.5/5

Pedro Santos - Krishnanda
>Psychedelic Folk, Samba

Damn, this is such a cool album. From the get go, it’s catchy and groovy, incorporating a lot of different South American musical styles. There’s all sorts of cool instrumentation, from traditional to obscure stuff I couldn’t quite pin down. There’s hand drumming, synths, strings, horns and a number of other traditional instruments. Every song on here has definite groove, with nice bass, fantastic drumming and some cool guitar work.

There’s hints of electronic influence on a fair number of the tracks too. “Dual” and “Aranbindu” sound like tropicala hits, with these catchy little xylophone riffs and sharp synths. The latter sounds like someone’s crashing together marbles together and it’s weirdly a great little touch. “Agua Viva” has little water splashing samples that serve as percussion and it works in a weird Kraftwerk/Neu kind of way. “Dentro Da Selva” has these trippy sound effects thrown in on top of already layered instrumentals. There’s a sample of some tropical bird, monkey and what sounds like a Jaguar thrown in, on top of these chanting vocals and bouncy samba instruments. There’s a lot of cool ideas pieced together on this track - and really a majority of the album.

The whole album sounds like a dope 70s film score and that’s one of the best compliments I can give an album.

4/5

I do too

I actually really liked Kiss the Pig, even though that's the consensus as the worse album by them

Also testing to see if this chart looks better

yoooooooo that's my fav track. So glad you liked the album!

I'm personally a huge fan of it and had kind of fallen away a bit from it in the past month. That said, I back to it with fresh ears this week, and boy does it still hold up.
