blog page is back its been a few months
busy months i started art school and quit my job and lost my car but anyway
i want 2 actually write about the music i loved this year cuz it was the only thing keeping me going i think
so this album is from 2019 but i found it in jan of this year 2023
something abt this combination of sounds is exactly what my brain wants 2 hear
the kinda lo fi sparkly emo pop + th instrumentation is so pretty
j is not the best singer but imo that makes the impact of the lyrics so real
and the writing is so good
i think bedroom community is 1 of th best songs i have ever heard
“and as they stop to look at her they wont look further
like its not a murder, its an inevitable tragedy”
i didnt get the picture what it was abt the first time i heard it
but going back and reading the lyrics i was on th edge of tears bad
theres also a great yt video where they talk abt the whole album
it was a good record he did a good job
i mostly played it @ work so i wouldnt b judged for my other taste
best tracks running out of time & drive me crazy
i loved their ep & debut but o my god they killed it this time
any1 who still hate on the gecs i just feel bad theyre missing this shit
the hyper pop to rock pipeline is real and this has gotta b the shining example
also hearing laura les un pitched vocals made me happy as a big fan of her older stuff
hollywood baby is the best song
i first heard it from a live show, & when i got home i tried 2 recreate the riff on garageband
1 million dollars tho is my favorite song
is it bullshit or high art
speaking of high art frog on the floor
aoty
pump rock shit
plague town means so much 2 me and has influenced my sound a lot
so a new eighty project had me excited
personal protocol is very good
the production is so consistent and has rlly great atmosphere
2 me its filling a perfect little pocket of sound
especially on same tasks & breakers
scribbles goes crazy
idk if this is an album or not so i would call it ep of th year
listened 2 this album when i was with ave & aj
listening to it was better than the actual album but its good
we ate mcdonalds to it
overall i was just happy 4 westside gunn getting exposure
i first heard wsg on donda & he has been my fav rapper since
fishmonger is my favorite album
2 be honest i did not trust that this would be as good
i loved cops & robbers
u dont even know who i am is a grower
but i already liked the demo so it wasnt as exciting to me
with locals i didnt get it at first, but later in the week i was playing minecraft and it came on my playlist
i was in the newer swampy biome looking 4 frogs and it just clicked to me
wow
old money bitch i forgot 2 listen to it cuz i was overwhelmed by school @ the time
but when i did i was mixed abt it
i was happy 4 new underscores but i wasnt like that excited
anyway i was wrong abt it
this thing is rlly incredible
^ my first reaction
wallsocket is almost flawless
i could dance & cry and do the hokey pokey or sum at once
ik this album is taking place in michigan, but its close enough cuz the sound feels like home
locals, johnny & 77 dog years are my favs but every song is crazy
took me only a few weeks 2 know all the lyrics @ the live show
the live showwwww
jane remover came out 4 uncanny long arms it was 1 of the coolest things i have ever seen
i also met fraxiom in the crowd :o)))
i could talk abt wallsocket forever but this is a good transition to the next album
torr was the opener @ the underscores show
i only wish i had known abt torr earlier
mollecule is pop at its best
i think every song has been stuck in my head at least 1 time
what was put in these songs to make me feel so awesome hearing it
brainfreeze & the scientific method r so good
talia is the best imo
waited a long time 4 this
dorian (and gecs) was my introduction 2 any kind of experimental ish music
both their past albums r magic
i dont think fanfare has the same heights as my agenda but its so fun i love it anyway
the final 3 track run is crazy to me
hyper pop to rock (aligned) pipeline
seems like dorian as a artist without any gimmicky stuff (not that those are bad they r usualy the best ones)
very satasfying album i will always b happy 2 hear new dorian
cant wait 2 see their live show in march :o)
speedrun the rest of these albums i am tired of writing
i dont listen 2 a whole lot of rap anymore but i do love griselda
also fresh for him to b experimenting on new styles
i dont love every 1 of the trap songs but wsg has enough boom bap songs in his catalog for like multiple careers
also jd wrist i think they accidentially uploaded a mp3 or sum it sounds like a bad rip
this album is fucking awesome
my favs video & fling
very gr8 music quadeca is sick
scrapyard 3 is the best
deadair is onto something big
telling my kids this was the beatles
maybe ill write more album reviews someday
- dig <3
