dec24
what better way to start 2025 with a song about 2024 released in 2023
really chill production beat and his vibes for the first half of this are unmatched. so lax. im still not super crazy about deep voice carti but its undeniable he delivers even in the deep voice second half. 2024
3.5 |

Mashcore, Electronic Dance Music Complextro
dec24
fire lol. first two are really fun i love the complete commitment to the edm mashcore. second side is not as good and gets p boring.

dec24
random compulsive listen not worth it so derivative and hollow. i still believe in you though wawawa
2 |
|
Breakcore
dec24
odax side is honestly rly nice dsbc with some really charming programming and sampling. probably odax's best work outside of kawaiicore. hymens side is less tapped in to the ds vibe but is still a decent batch of breaking
3 |
|
dec24
im gonna go thru all their singles eventually but i liked the titles of this one. the vocals are so weird though just really strange lyrics choices and she flows so strangely and idk sounds clunky but i looove the synths in the verses really good melody. nothing is a fine track
3 |
|
Pure (1995) [Single]
dec24
oh my god heard it off that comp this has to be like one of the best songs ever. the dance edit is chill puts the vocals in the backseat. impure was okay
4 |

Makina, Hard Dance
dec24
real cute fun stuff. some songs kind of ass or just like boring rly but lots of neat little melodies and weird europe english lyrics

Sigilkore, Experimental Hip Hop, Cloud Rap Tread, HexD dense, chaotic, sampling, surreal, hypnotic
dec24
thanks for the rec rottingguest! sorry it took so long to listen, applogies for my weird priorities but i never forget...

3 |

Pop Rap Snap, Crunk, Futuristic Swag, Jerk Rap sexual, quirky, rhythmic, playful, male vocalist

2 |

Screamo, Blackgaze, Grindcore noisy, male vocalist, aggressive, dense, energetic

purely breakdowns, ridiculous 808s. the last track is stupid

Nustyle rhythmic
dec24
saw xav 1c show with fullconcepts
ss3bby - weirdly one of the best sets of the night. absolutely infectious energy killed all his tracks was super hype and he had this acid souljah clone dancin with him the whole time was awesome Glost - honestly not sure why he even played, they started the whole thing 25 min late and he was supposed to go before seb but he went second i just thought he wasnt going to play. did like 3 or 4 songs with zero energy or movement and you couldnt hear him at all idkcap - fun set loved his energy he had some real fun tracks too but it seems like his set was too long, not even in a way where i got bored but there were real moments where bro looked like he was at his absolute limit. he was screaming the whole time tho so maybe thats it MikeBrokeasf - i didn't realize he went as percosits. his set was cool not as fun as idkcaps and he kept tryna turn the crowd up but no one knows your damn songs mike im sorry. probably one of the first times a zatru beat has been played on a massive venue PA system. he seemed kind of scary ksuuvi - fun but its so weird how it got boring since every song is like the exact same beat. he transitioned his set into xavs with the jiggy song xaviersobased - always fun to watch him just move around but he felt lowkey not as hype as some of the other guys. maybe he was jus tryna chill. it was silly when he asked the crowd if we'd catch him if he jumped lol. hes silly. for some reason Backend came out with him for two of the songs.
first track: its fine second: probably massive but its lost on me
2.5 |

the technoboy mix is so massive. i dint hear the jumpstyle but ig i dont know anything about that genre yet

dec24
neither was bad per se but there is literally nothing noteworthy here

opens with a really good massive track then drops the ball further and further as it goes

Angel (2007) [Single]Nustyle, Euphoric Hardstyle
dec24
when the vocals come in its heavenly as fuck so good job on the title. really fun.

couldnt get into either. annoying sample that has nothing to do with noise or tools?
2.5 |

Hardstyle, Nustyle
dec24
honestly nothing notable about this. its a hardstyle song
2.5 |
|
Funk 150 bpm, Beat bolha noisy, sampling, chaotic, party, raw
dec24
fuckcomments rec
first track is pretty ridiculous like never finds a groove and is a million different samples but idk i couldnt get into it, besides its totally overshadowed by the second track which has ppenty of nutty moments. great distortion
3 |

Breakcore Lolicore, Hardcore Breaks, House female vocalist, manic, nocturnal, dark, dense
dec24
i heard track 7 in an instagram reel and ill be the first guy to say it: i liked it. cancel me all you want i dont even care. unfortunately nothing else here really sounds like it. lots of boring hardcore breaks stuff that is just lame as fuck
2.5 |
|
Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal Slam Death Metal, Progressive Metal disturbing, technical, male vocalist, aggressive, complex
dec24
im sorry i still dont really get the hype. yeah its good and fuck it its even mh fav DS ive heard so far but like nothing sticks with me. it just feels like more of the same kind of hollow but still really impressive technical shredding nonsense. whats weird to me is that theyve been doing this for what seems like their whole career and they have 5 bolded albums?? at some point we have to stop being impressed by this right
3 |

Hardstyle
dec24
really love the dark atmosphere on this. the DO remix has a nifty little acid line that i like. just fuck
3.5 |
|
Makina
dec24
not sure if i wanna keep exploring early jumpstyle, everythng outside of this i tried was so lame, esp da tommy boy oh my god i just cant. but i really love the happy hardcore influence on the first two tracks here, super lovely melodies. thd second two idgaf about
3 |
|
Mathcore Djent heavy, male vocalist, dissonant, noisy, uncommon time signatures
dec24
the math tag is misleading honestly its really breakdown heavy not as technical and complex as their other. cool guitar stuff but otherwise not that notable
3 |
|
Nustyle rhythmic
dec24
the concept is so weird. its cool though. i like the drop synths. not as crazy ab the b side
3 |
|
Hardstyle, Nustyle
dec24
a is fine. good drop. b is very boring
3 |
|
Hardstyle
dec24
back on track with the 3s. original >> i like the concept

see last entry. also: more horrible samples
2.5 |

Mandala (2008) [Single]Nustyle
dec24
neither mix caught my attention. really boring
2.5 |
|
Hardstyle sampling, rhythmic
dec24
admittedly i kind of dont like the verses, but that drop is intense as fuck. feels so unstable, especially with the tempo change beforehand. wish the kicks were different
3 |
|
Screamo Metalcore energetic, female vocalist, angry, raw, uncommon time signatures
dec24
riding around in the car w gf this morning. she recommended this
its good. ridiculous drumming sometimes. wish the guitars were louder. good vocals. nice atmosphere
3 |
|
Hardstyle Nustyle
dec24
while i did like recession, the vocal sample is actually so grating. one thing these hardstyle guys definitely did not understand back then was samples. morphed was really boring
3 |
|
Phases (2008) [Single]Nustyle Rawstyle melancholic, uplifting
dec24
pretty good i just hate the lyrics. why are they abbreviated as tby
the harpless remix is kind of worthless since it removes arguably one of the nicest parts of the romantic mix.
3 |
|
Hardstyle
dec24
lets get it goin.
highlight here is fs the tnt remix - super dark feeling and really fat massive drops. the original is fine but it just doesnt check off the same boxes
3.5? |

3.5 |

Hardstyle repetitive, nocturnal, party, energetic, rhythmic
dec24
i dont know what exactly came over me. but youre about to see a lot of hardstyle and related entries. major tw//kicks
pretty concise set, great energy. a couple really stupid songs though (that nasty jungle song sucks so much). i hate when the radio announcers speak over it

The Haar
dec24
last book of the year! putting me at a solid 12, about one every month. not bad at all if i do say so myself. hopefully i can keep up the same work ethic next year.
bought off a whim with some birthday money. liked the cover. its a pretty heartwarming story with some neat concepts, though i think the writing is definitely... very beginner level. i mean he knows how to hold himself and deliver the punches but you can tell he doesnt really have the right kind of romantic vocabulary for these cosmic horror bits or the stprytelling abilities to really pace and flesh out the different plots. then again, its a pretty short story though so i cant complain much. very lovely little ending. love all the people raging at the unrealistic actions of people in this story as is it isnt centered around an immortal human-eating cyclops goop.

some post christmas with my girlfriend. we pregamed with burning rice and postgamed with chilis chocolate molten lava cake.
pretty awesome. one thing about eggers is he knows how to work some damn period piece atmosphere. always love how his movies look and feel, no exception here. super amazing lighting, manages to be very dark but not very dim? everything is very visible is what im trying to say i guess, but its a lot of super dark colors and lots of darkness/shadow play. i didnt know anything about nosferatu but its wild how similar it is to dracula (apparently its based off it). sad grooming tale as well, which i also wasnt expecting. some of the sfx kind of sucked yeah. but i can look past it. great acting from everyone too, though it took like 90% of my brain power to understand what nosferatu was saying most of the time since he speaks at like 2 wpm
3.5 |
|
Breakcore, IDM Breakcore, Power Noise
dec24
cool stuff, but i dont think it does enough over its short runtime to justify a higher score.
3 |
|
Progressive House Fidget House repetitive, rhythmic, atmospheric, instrumental
dec24
trying to find more beautiful synth mau5 songs like brazil but i guess the brazil single is not the right place to look. cats on a leash is fine, but i really really dont care about his fidget tracks at all. the repetitiveness gets so boring
3 |
|
IDM, Techno Glitch Hop repetitive, hypnotic, mechanical, rhythmic, instrumental
dec24
some post-xmas chilling while doing chores early in the rainy morning. basically: vibes
really exciting coolness. admittedly their early looping stuff im not huge on but it works so well in a live context, love hearing the constant evolution of these mechanical alien sounds, free of studio restrictions. the eutow here is so weird. really really cool though
3.5 |

Instrumental Hip Hop, Experimental Hip Hop, Plugg Dark Plugg, Cloud Rap avant-garde, heavy, repetitive, ethereal, sampling

yeah its ridiculous but its also fire as fuck and weirdly beautiful, those pads/synths are heavenly

pretty massive sometimes, cool atmosphere.

Deathcore
dec24
really didnt fw the vocals, and the real dry sounding djenty breakdowns felt so... lame.
2.5 |
|
Metalcore Death Metal
dec24
one thing im not big about with 90s deathcore is how close it still is to death metal. on here that lends itself to cool song structures and parts but like... thats not why i like deathcore? still its not bad. just not exactly what im looking for
3 |

Deathcore Melodic Metalcore

snoozefest. melodeath parts so boring
2.5 |

Deathcore Brutal Death Metal heavy, dark, rhythmic, violence, male vocalist

not sure why angelhospital gave this a 1.5... its decent middling dxc bdm stuff. lyrics kinda suck when you can hear them. intro is cute. 808s go hard

Demo 1998 (1998) [Additional release]Metalcore heavy, dark, male vocalist
dec24
strong opening but it falls off after the first track. some cool riffs here and there
3 |
|
Mathcore Noise, Technical Death Metal, Dark Ambient, Deathgrind chaotic, technical, heavy, aggressive, dissonant
dec24
dont let the tags fool you... this is not as cool as it looks...
noise/darkamb interludes and kind of weird sounding screamgrind stuff. i say weird because its mixed very oddly i feel, but i dont really think theres anything compositionally spectacular about these tracks. not bad though
3 |
|
Piranha (1992) [Single]Electro, Acid Techno, Ghettotech Ghettotech, Acid Techno
dec24
fun stuff, hard not to tap along. dont really know the difference in the mixes other than one being longer
3 |

Screamo, Metalcore Emoviolence female vocalist, aggressive, chaotic
dec24
fun. i like her screaming voice a lot but she does too much of the shouting that i dont think sounds so good here
3 |

mp3.com Songs (2017) [Bootleg / Unauthorized]Emoviolence, Screamo Sass, Synth Punk
dec24
really really cute lol its sharper than your average screamo but what sets this apart is the super sweet keyboards going on the whole time. surprisingly works, even if its a bit novel.
3 |

watched this with family. my sister said "we should all watch it again" but i literally do not remember ever seeing this before now.
i dont love love it but you actually have to be a spineless animal to not be moved at all by the story. really well made for what it is honestly.

|
Midwest Emo mellow, melancholic, raw, uplifting, melodic
dec24
i think whats so enthralling about their pre-Nothing music is that its still the same super warm really awkward imagery-feeling lyric emo but it isnt quite as poppy or silly (both of which are good things but kind of take away from the magic that is this early material). tracks like "is this thing on" and "make me a chevy" are great but they are just too purposefully weird? i guess? you can tell theyre just throwing out ideas that seem quirky and sincere but feel more contrived than anything else. again, Nothing Feels Good is still an amazing album, but it doesnt even touch the stuff on this comp.
as for the new material here the longer track is sweet and comfy, the shorter is pretty fun.
4 |
|
Midwest Emo melancholic, raw, longing, male vocalist, passionate
dec24
promise rings track is perfect. nothing new there, but surprisingly TITR's is ALSO good! something about his vocals being buried and also not as annoying really helps the massive instrumental shine. super cathartic shitわ
3.5 |
|
Midwest Emo warm, longing, male vocalist, bittersweet, autumn
dec24
probably the best song off 30° and then the best b side ever. warmest songs ever feels so massive and like a hug

Midwest Emo melancholic, pastoral, sad, raw, romantic
dec24
really stellar couple of tracks, but that second one... both amazing choruses, soaring shitわ, lovely lyrics

overwhelming suburbia eating fast food with your best friends hot showers in the summer clocking out at 3pm always about to explode begging for a kiss carrying everything in cargo shorts too hot for blankets exploring eachothers ticking bomb bodies sunsets every hour talking all night magic in the air when you breathe cloudless skies every day or flash flood torrential downpour 2 am grocery store parking lots waterpark icecream catching you with arms wide open chilly sunrises and warm afternoon naps getting excited for snow rolling the windows down because your car is only blowing hot air walking through construction sites sunlight dripping on your bed in the morning traffic lights switching to blinking red tornado watch falling asleep in our jeans bug bites on your ankles holding hands for the first time hose washing the car holes in both shoes purple orange evenings riding in the bed of a truck i wish i saw you when we passed eachother

didn't realize these love guys did a split with Joshua so I decided to check that out and it's not bad but it's nothing to write home about I do think the second Joshua track is actually one of their better ones only recommended to hard-core fans of either band
3 sorry |

Midwest Emo, Post-Hardcore Post-Hardcore passionate, energetic, raw, melancholic, bittersweet
dec24
very weird Midwest EMO morning but for some reason I was in the mood to revisit this and check out some other emo things that I was interested in I cannot imagine why exactly I praise this so much when I was younger because his voice is actually so annoying that it ruins the entire thing I think that a lot of the instrumentals are actually pretty good I think the drummers really confident and creative the guitars are usually kind of big which is surprising and they're always impactful there's always a really bittersweet melody or riff going on that I really like and it's evident that the singer sucks so much because the best song here is the only instrumental one
2.5 |
|
Pop Punk, Emo-Pop Post-Hardcore energetic, breakup, male vocalist, angry, hateful
dec24
really charming and also stupid so in a way it's kind of cute I didn't expect this to sound so much like taking back Sunday but it honestly could like alternatingly be sequenced with their first album and it would sound like one big cohesive super long email pop punk mess song was really dumb
also for these recent entries I'm having to use voice to text so if there are weird inconsistencies and typos you're just gonna have to deal with that
3 |

Metalcore, Post-Hardcore Emo, Melodic Metalcore heavy, anxious, dark, melancholic, aggressive
dec24
really awesome plenty of cathartic passionate melodies and also a good blend of really heavy headbanging death core metal core classic riffs really like the vocals I appreciate it brevity and I just like the aesthetic and atmosphere of this whole thing kind of like a breath a breath of fresh air binge in this recent binge I've done

dec24
really cool in theory but not as exciting as I was expecting it to be still it's kind of cool how seamlessly they weave together all these parts and how these songs don't feel massive because everything kind of makes sense even though they obviously are like really long drumming is top-notch and I thought the guitar was pretty good still not really a huge fan of vocals though
3 |
|
Screamo, Metalcore Emoviolence, Mathcore anxious, manic, raw, aggressive, chaotic

A big step up from the other one not as bloated and more to the point I also thought it was a bit more violent which is always good and I don't know it's more brief so I think it has a little bit more impact
3.5 |

Emoviolence Mathcore angry, aggressive, heavy, manic, anxious

call me crazy but i just thought this was okay. nothing really wrong with it it just kind of overstays its welcome and nothing really stuck with me. still very good instrumentation good vocals all that

really cute. feels like an emo 90s weezer kind of vibe, especially the little synths that pop up here and there. both sides so consistent with eachother. /d/ some terrible but weirdly charming lyrics. wish there was more strong choruses

forgot about this band. prob my fav from them, i think the worse production actually helps accentuate the heaviness theyre going for. always awesome when we get to the chorus of incinerate.

been putting this off much too long. can you blame me though? that cover...
way poppier than i was ready for, love that. jesse can really write choruses. lots of really enjoyable tracks, a few really stupid lines, but hella consistent. kind of falls off after boy who blocked his own shot, but those tracks are still good.

unanimously her best album. context aside this is just a really strong dnb release. a really strong sense of identity; a major flaw of most of her previous work in my opinion has been the constant inclusion of non-dnb edm genre tracks like house or gabber. these tracks almost always disappoint, kill the energy or just plain dont belong in their respective releases. it seems like she really nailed bringing in all of her diverse influences and ideas here. there is still plenty of genre hopping but it amazingly all works out. everything is drenched in this really hazy silky thick layer of real sorrow and despair - obviously. heavy solace highs and wallowing dragging lows. the end of goodbye hurts my heart

keep seeing this around for some reason so ig its time
its fine. i think i like it a bit less than safety. not as clean production. what on earth possessed them to incorporate all those weird bubbly synth sound effects? seems so weird and out of place and they all only show up one time in a song
3 |

Screamo Metalcore aggressive, sad, melodic, male vocalist

are these guys really indonesia? nifty little release. very melodramatic. i wish there were bigger and more memorable choruses but this is still pretty fun.

dec24
saw a chudjak animation with this cover and i cannot stop listening to it. addicting how he says words, his stupid vibrato is actually really awesome and the way he kills the end of the second chorus sends chills down my spine. i weirdly dont like the original as much as the sped up version, i think the things i said i like are way more emphasized there. weird how little impact the chorus has but it kind of works? its cool

decent collection of tracks. good cohesion, most people do a fine job on their songs (except 1sadboii the more i hear his voice the more i hate it). opening two are the best though and ssve this from 2.5 territory

this one isnt even plugg but glad i checked it out. really soft pleasant beat and the first verse fits perfectly. second verse comes in a bit too strong and i dont like it as much but its not bad. some silly bars also drag this down but its still good. revisits

xavs part has been praised up and down which is deserved fs but we need to talk about davids verse because that shitわ is legendary. line after line hes actually such an amazing lyricist and freestyler and its ridiculous that he doesnt do this shitわ more. feel like him and yungster jack got the same problem where they can spit such crazy heat when the vibes call for it but when they get to the studio and get serious its like everything that makes them fire kind of disappears. not always the case but thats just how it seems to me.

i thought this was gonna be all ambient (which is fine!) but i was so excited when i realized it was another break release :D love their programming, lovely crossroads between basic drum and bass breakbeats and oldschool sometimes gridless idm stuff. beautiful samples/instrumentation. love the noisy last track ❤️

wanted to like this so much more... the first two are pretty solid love the sadder atmosphere, but then it totally loses the plot and goes off rails with the... psytrance? 11 minute track in the middle, and the other two continue to stray further from the neuro/dnb world. just really cant bring myself to care ab this too much

wanted to like this more but its got a lot of the kind of meh acid stuff that has plagued most recent funk. still there are highlights like some of the beautiful melodics+classic snares programming, and the freetek ending was really cool.

DISCLAIMER I DID NOT LISTEN TO "Iforget" SORRY I DONT THINK IT WIL CHANGE THE RATING THOUGH
cool idm stuff i only know ab this bc of the 2nd track being big on osu. that song is really great. he should stick to more linear straightforward dnb/break stuff. the idm drill is cool but its either too middling or too much to make an impact.

was expecting a chart topper but this just doesnt compare to im wald and das tor. i think the distinct lack of nature recordings and black ambient makes this a lot less exciting to sit through, but also it feels like the real bm writing is just kind of weaker? no riffs really caught my attention. still it goes by pretty quickly for an almost 2hr album so points there. cant say its bad, i think this negative entry is just my disappointment

always love playing w these guys so i was kind of excited to see that they dropped this and it was NOT an hour long live album from a venue i dont really like playing at!
but sadly i just couldnt get into it. mixing reeaaaally hurts this for me especially how sterile the vocals sound on everything. i do like the more wandering structure super heavy tracks though, they need to lean into that more fs.

Faust, Part Two
dec24
woopsies this took over a month to read (laziness) but now im done and that concludes my books for 2024 i think!
much different from part 1 in a lot of ways. way less focused on faust (less emphasis on the 'personal'), episodic rather than very linear, and a LOT of ancieng greek culture. huge sprawling sections of dozens of ancient greek gods and myths and figures and stories, as well as many different sections being written in classic greek style (no rhyming). lots of magical realism, like so much. and plenty of time skipping and super fast paced scene changes (i guess since its not really about fausts singular experiences). i cant say i enjoyed all of that as much as the first book - its definitely its own tour de force kind of vibe but idk it loses me way more than id like. the final chapter is beautiful as fuck though

about what i expected. sad that none of this is his old jerk sound nor does it come close to nothing like uuu (im guessing its not here bc of rights issues). still, tracks like shut up and say please stick out to me but i think that comes down more to the fact that ok is actually the hardest. i think nett got a good release in him eventually tho

had some extra time today so quick movie.
not at all what i was expecting. nifty little setup/concept - i love my chamber films! great example of what good acting looks like, really everyone does a stellar job here. such unique exploration of gender sex friendship and power/consent. you think you have it all figured out until uma thurman comes in. feels strangely female empowering (ala Ex Machina?). the way they navigate their collective emotions together felt really painful in me. like i was there. sometimes i forgot i was watching a movie lol.

randomly saw this on my firestick home and its p short so like fuck it
didnt expect much and it doesnt do much but its a fun time. kind of cool concept that honestly couldve been done in way fewer episodes but they pad it out hella with flashbacks and weird dream sequences. hate the characters all of them. i know theyre tired and irritable but oh my god there is no reason to be that rude like why are you so pressed about getting an answer right everyone is dead bro 😭 also strange that no one thought to check social media about this whole ordeal. weirdly markiplier was the best actor here. |

YES its finally here and so much better than i was expecting. weirdly i think this style works better as an album than as singles. but also this is not only terror plugg! actually a really surprising amount of variety - and some of the best moments arent terror plugg. he does great on the ok beat, draco talks has a really fun beat, and of course yhapo's track is just heavenly and lowkey might be the best track here. all this to say that hes really establishing himself as a rapper with presence; its probably easy to dismiss a lot of this as producer-carried but i think the fact that he can shine thru and make highlights out of these less terror sounding tracks is a testament to his evolution as an artist (which is something i did not expect to be saying about 2slimey this year). and of course the terror plugg tracks are just ridiculous, some real jaw dropping stuff it never gets old hearing that shitわ. my only complaints are So Far and Shrimp: the former is just kinda boring, the latter id rather have had tmz as the closer, but i do understand why he chose shrimp since its his most popular song.

one day we wake up and the stars completely disappear out of the night sky; the clouds stop moving, the wind gave up. dogs that crawl under the porch to die - life lays its tired head down softly and sighs its last breath. it rains in every memory, flooding and spilling out of my brain all over the floor where i slip and my head and heart burst into gray dust fireworks when they hit the ground. in the time it takes to recall a memory its already been one month. in the time it takes to blink its already been a year. all i carry now are questions and regrets - all i will ever carry are questions and regrets. theres so much i wish i could redo. maybe just to turn back the clock and talk one more time. before life flashbang slowed to a drip - but i dont know what that would change. everything happens exactly how its supposed to happen. air conditioning units humming in harmony feeling every particle of dust fall onto my head; a gray sky cloud-blanketed horizon to horizon - the sun is hiding. lights that wait - arent fast enough - so when you flip the switch theres a brief period of tense, quiet, lifeless darkness. time frozen in a brief moment where nothing is visible and the electric pulses of senses have nothing to send back to you. a period of inactivity and black-black gradient room temperature floating. when the light peaks through the blinds and dances fire across the walls all i can see are different outcomes - alternate universes where it doesnt happen. i imagine it was probably at a train station.
the quietest crackles, spaced out with miles inbetween them: soft ghost scratching at your ears trying to get your attention spread across your whole life. somewhere somehow the crushing hum of loss creeps up onto your shoulders and hugs your heart until you fall over, then vanishes as if it was never even there. thank you, lamo, for always putting your heart and love first.

Risk of Rain Returns
nov24
ive been playing risk of rain, ror2 and modded ror for literally almost half of my life, the original is one of my favorite games in the world so i was SO EXCITED to see they had remastered it ON MY BIRTHDAY (actually one day before but im gonna count that anyway)
ive been playing it for a few weeks now - ive got about 30 hours in it, and i just finished unlocking all of the characters, so i think im ready to discuss my thoughts on it.
obviously, of course, this is THE definitive version of this game. bonus content aside, i think that even from a purely gameplay standpoint this is much better. the combat feels way more streamlined and friendly, movement isnt as clunky, and they did a stellar job with the balancing (much harder to go "god mode" (i.e. less extreme of a learning curve that makes longer playthroughs less exciting). but the bonus content... oh my loard where to even start...
love the new characters. even if i dont prefer them over any of the older ones its always fun to get new choices. theyre fresh and unique but still feel close to the "true" vision of the original game, something that i was worried about (something i didnt love about the Starstorm mod...). i do have some problems with them (artificer is too weak - drifter is kinda op?) but that convo is not crucial to this entry. i also really dig the alternate skills and skins - while i still mostly prefer all the original builds there are a few characters i have customized permanently - acrid and sniper have really useful alt primaries. i also like how pink miner looks :3
i really dig the lore expanses as well. one of my favorite things to do as a kid was just sitting at my computer reading every single item and enemy entry and building this intergalactic world in my head - i was SO STOKED to see that we got CHARACTER info too now! that and the environment logs which are kind of annoying to get but i think are another cool way to flesh out the world and make 100%ing more rewarding. also its really refreshing that each stage has 6 variants, feels way less repetitive than the original game with like only 2-4 per stage. the providence trials are really cool too. some are way too hard or way too easy but they are a valiant effort that i respect and add an extra layer to the game that i really appreciate. its also a great way to test out new characters or skills, or if you dont have the time for a full run you can work on some of the shorter trials. love all the new items as well - lots of really cool exciting ones.
and i LOVE the new visuals. everything looks so much nicer and more detailed but doesnt lose the original games simple and charming designs. plenty of new mobs that fit right in with the older ones. i never cared too much about the music but it is a bit unfortunate they didnt get a remaster/remake of those. not a big chip off my shoulder though.
worth it? absolutely - this is the only version of this game anyone needs (its better than ror2 sorry). perfect? no but nothing is. plenty of flaws and things to complain about here but its nothing i cant overlook - the actual core of this is one of the best games ever. |

2013's Carrie featured a track by Krewella, which reminded me that they existed so i decided to do some listening. i used to like this ep when i was a kid (or the songs id heard from it). Killin it, One Minute and Alive were always on loop when i was younger, but especially Alive. while a lot of this doesnt hold up all these years later, i think Alive is still a really solid track. vocals are heavenly and they arent plagued by the really stupid lyricism of most of their music. could be 9 minutes and id still love it. the rest is poorly aged brostep, but they have a knack for pleasant-ish drops and some neat drums. i kind of like the original version of one minute more than the remix, but theyre both pretty good

if youre reading this before the other entries are written yea sorry illl write them soon patience i just have to write this down before it leaves me
didnt have the time to rewatch all of it but i ran through some of my favorite scenes in tracey fragments today and idk want to kyllmiself all over something about this quiet boring life and the slow steady hum of everything all in resonance and dissonance and you have to put your ear to someones heart to hear the faint crackling and whispering that goes unnoticed every day because everything is high octane and dramatic and polar. sometimes i want to cry when i think about kids that grow up in houses right on a highway interchange and how every day hundreds of people they will only see once in their life pass by them while theyre playing catch in the back yard or raking up bags of dead orange autumn leaves with their parents and their little sibling wont stop cross-falling into them and making a mess and how theyre hands get cold from being outside but their bodies are so warm from all the playing. how heavy the silence of midnight is when everyone is sleeping and there are no traveling headlights to illuminate their windows and sidewalk. a feeling that is both relieving and uncanny. the other day i walked through a building on my way back from an event at my university on a saturday so i could both use the restroom and buy a pepsi. before i walked out i stopped and realized it was completely empty - no students, teachers, janitors, pedestrians, the street was empty outside despite it being noon, and i couldnt even hear the usually vibrant background radiating orchestra of machines - no vending machines, no ac units, no fans or television screens. i felt truly weightless. |

i ate a nice little bagel sandwish thing and relaxed in some chilly sunny weather at school while i listened to this. i didnt know what it was (i had saved it probably years ago) so i went in blind. it starts off really nicely, this weird room recording, feels like some strange surveillance and the quiet shifting and noise is like listening to something breathing near you. but it "picks up" and goes down some really boring and worthless standard death industrial paths that youve probably heard a million times before.

i think im still a bit lost on ferrara's style. i think the worlds he makes and the stories within them are always compelling and interesting, i love the weird post-capital sexual transaction stuff, it doesnt seem so far from the pornography of today - real dystopia is being built all around us, it doesnt need to be in simulations or in space or in some walled city. i really dug the opening sequences, and i love total film-vomit of the last act, using everything they possibly have to create this super unique memory-tracing event. but im lost on everything between. it feels more style over substance i guess, i was just kind of bored for a lot of this. im coming to appreciate more and more, though, as i continue to reflect on it.

gorgeous. love the speeding up and slowing down of frames. like moving through a stream and then paying close attention to individual bubbles, time stops for just a second. when the figures break through at the end it feels really uplifting. cant stop thinking about cross-dimensional transmissions - your alternate life breaking through. something vibrates so deeply the veil is lifted

not at all what i expected. super absurd and i love the style of it. its very fun; somehow manages to not be gay at all which is awesome - some combination of being so up its own ass and the perfect balance of not really caring but also being a bit genuine when it needs to.

a collection of pretty good walls, more or less, but its track 2 that really won my heart and i wont spoil why. you'll just have to listen and see for yourself ;)
curious to me that its such a violent theme but the music is really only barely harsh enough to match. the gore is also quite obscured on the cover, adding to that incongruence. that isnt a bad thing though. just my observation

i speak to early, they actually f_ck*ng did it.
some usual triples affairs no doubt but whats great about this is theres a ton of stand out songs. songs like hit the floor and love soseol have really excellent vocal hooks, they really tapped into something greater for that shit, while others like eclair and bionic power are more instrumental focused (or specifically i like them more for their instrumentals). perhaps this is all thanks to the fact that this is not one of their gimmick subgroup releases
curious to see whats next for them.

theyre kind of like a distilled loona? like if we isolated all the really distinct future bass/r&b/edm elements of loona and dropped the studio/industry filler (ballads, brostep and festival trap) you'd end up with tripleS. very locked in producers with a very cohesive vision for sure. i just wish the instruments were a bit louder or were mixed more complimentary to the vocals.

its kind of ridiculous how influential this is and that im only now realizing it. i hear a lot of the rough mixing and experimentation of skrillex in here. also reminds me so much of feed me lol, feels like he basically just copied them note for note on some of these.
shame on me for dismissing it all these years - a 2 is just ridiculous. thats not to say its not without its flaws - theres plenty of boring or straight up annoying (dvno) songs here that i couldnt sit through on a relisten, but enough strong or at the bare minimum intriguing content that its definitely deserving of the attention it has. some really genius sampling and flipping, very good sense of rhythm and dance, some really unique melodic ideas, and i love the whole really rough and messy mixing/production on it. its cool how skeletal some parts feel but it doesnt actually hurt the music.

its actually really interesting how good this sounds for what it is. i think the metal pipe sound has like the exact same notes or the notes are in the same key as the song so it honestly adds a really cool higher frequency layer to the whole thing. reminds me a lot of that one We Choose You break that popped off a while ago, since that uses like weird note-y cymbal hits.

its finally time.
first three tracks really tested my patience. i know its lego bricks but oh my god the thin plastic sound was just killing me. the first one is like, okay i guess its kind of a stupid concept without a video but its not horrible. the second one though is so bad, idek how theyre getting that sound it just kind of hurts my ears. such a weird concept (wind from legos??). the third one is also really stupid without a video but might even be stupid with one. shuffling for a little, picking up a brick, placing it, and repeat. real mind numbing stuff. luckily though the last 4 tracks pick up in terms of quality. 4 is quite pleasant, kind of like super plastic-y erratic ANW. the waterfall though might be the best track. in concept its much stronger than track 2 and it also sounds WAY better. an excellent application of the lego sound pallet. big hearted bricks seems like a similar idea to track 1? but i found it to be much easier to listen to, not a lot of stopping or any annoying page flipping. the last track is also a building one but it sounds like it is layered on a faint field recording (presumably somewhere at night) and therd are actually quite relaxing moments occasionally.

nov24
listened on/around my birthday. easily one of my favorite long necrotik fissure releases; its really consistent in feeling (i want to say sound, but there is a bit of diversity in terms of texture here) i guess. the first track is some really lovely glitching warbling folding stuff - he does this sometimes and it can get really annoying (if its too invasive) but its done so perfectly here, its like i cant stop turning it up no matter how loud it gets. kind of the case for most tracks here; i just want to bury myself in them and float in the dark. little lights dancing under my eyelids. the last two or three i think are these really breadthy distorted droning walls. feels so powerful. i didnt love the second track so much, it gets the closest to boring that a lot of other nf finds itself being, but its not bad. feels all really distant. maybe thats why i kept turning it up

i first thought this would be like a more bad ass ktrap half of iron oxide series with the first two songs but then it isnt. red light and beat beat are synthy pop things (red light is so fucking goated) and then randomly move on is a pop rock song. hate how kpop producers do those "live" drums, they sound really sterile but also pillowy, like an ugly plushy. last track isnt rock but is very similar sounding to move on.

not bad, but it seems like dark nature hadnt figured out what it is they "do". taking their own name literally, forest and nature imagery and sounds with dark ambient/light ambient techno stuff (something tells me its also more solar fields?). its not bad, its kind of nice even, but its nothing special. a lot of these tracks have the vinyl crackle on them for some reason. extra layer of creppy i guess

i was required to listen to this on my way home.
feels like i still gotta unpack it on relistening but this is fire as fuck. another super consistent project (and it came out the same year as flex musix?? thats ridiculous) where theres not really any weak songs. i like that its also pretty short, gets a lot done in very little time. some real great beats here i was stank facing a lot

it feels like he watched a few slow movies and thought yeah i could do this. the most impressive part to me is how ugly this looks, the lighting and shots just look so bad. the gore feels really weak and misguided, too. hated that ending.

went over to fuckcomments house and we ate pizza and did best friends things
he said this looked dope so we put it on. honestly very stupid movie. lets get this out of the way now: idgaf if it was one take. technically impressive? sure, kudos to the cameraman for having that kind of endurance, but like thats not why im watching movies. the actual camera work is never anything special. handheld stuff of course, i guess there are some weird crane shot vibe things iirc? but its a very neutral camera most of the time. makes sense given the context, but idk it just ends up feeling like a hollow gimmick. Climax, and even something like episode 6 of Haunting of Hill House, are examples in my mind of good uses of long shots.
also really tired of hysterical girl laughing IM SO FUCKED UP HAHAHAHA really takes me out of it. story is really dumb too.

all done.
i can see why this is the holy grail of vapor/ambient for some people but i personally am beyond that point in my life. i think there is some good mood pieces and this is honestly one of the easiest 15 hour listens of my life: a testament to its noninvasive and relaxing sound. that said, a lot of tracks are kind of just dumb or boring? theres only a very small few id say are outright bad, though.
the first several will always be special to me though, theyre the only ones i remember from when i was younger and i first bought this comp (i would fall asleep to it a lot, i only ever actively heard the first few tracks lol).

nov24
kind of weird relationship with this artist when i was younger i got so into acid medical and without realizing it i just loved all of their projects (except 2047, i think i missed that by a year or so, just never tapped in there). listening to them all of the time emotion x dark nature medical star girl and i loved everything acmed put out. im still torn about their hasty teardown, so much missing stuff that i yearn to revisit all the time and it irks me to no end how misrepresented the label is on this site but theres really nothing i can do about it. its strange to me too how geographically close 2047 and i have been my whole life, i think we're the same age too. all this sounds kind of creepy reading over it but i dont mean any of this in a parasocial or stalking kind of way, just like interesting to me that i was listening to some other kids music and it meant something to me. its humanizing i think.

had my hopes up with the first two tracks, seemed like an evolution to their debut sound; lots of flare and energy against very abrasive off-kilter-synth melodic elements. falls off fast though... it definitely is in line with their earlier sound but it feels more like an unenthusiastic retread of ideas rather than a furthering of them. i fear we may never top Savage... still its a decent ep, like i said the first two are pretty good

the wait is finally over.
ridiculously consistent. i think the biggest problem with longer studio trap rage albums (even AGC to an extent) is just that the production can kind of be all over the place, which makes sense, it isnt all one producer or one session. not flex musix tho. feels like everything is a perfect continuation of whatever came before it. super locked in sound pallet and vibe; every track is fire you can always dance to this. love his more emotional lyrics here, too. i honestly wasnt big on the last track, i think the whole put-the-rapper-on-a-pop-punk-alt-rock-inspired-beat schtick has kind of worn out its welcome and it just feels like a cheap way to make that shit more emotional when it doesnt rly need it. still a good song though none of the criticism is on osamason specifically just in general

capping off our halloween festivities with a movie we were supposed to watch a month ago but we just never ever got around to it 😭
a few of my friends really dont like this, and im not sure why! its honestly incomparable to the original, their totally different movies that just both take place in a dance studio run by witches. i loved the dream sequences and just how ridiculous the third act is. some really cool lower frame rate shitわ going on. super abstract and i love that it doesnt try to spoonfeed you or hold your hand. love the depth of the subtext that i dont fully understand but i respect.

i just always get weird evil spooky vibes from time machines I, the synths seem like they would go perfectly in a really tense horror movie. II feels like it doubles down on that though the music is way more engaging and active as opposed to the very slow cooking movement of the first one. a few tracks were a bit boring though but overall really enjoyed this

of course, halloween is a day of pagan ritual origins, so what better way to celebrate that than with some french avant folk! this one has a huge focus on more traditional singersongwriter style folk than the droning long post rock free folk kind of music im used to from them. and honestly i love this so much more. they are actually really good songwriters and all of the singing tracks are just heavenly, so beautiful. the drone free ones are good too, but they just pale in comparison and feel like interludes to me. idk. also this doubly fits the day because they randomly have a song named john carpenter :)

but the festivities today have only just begun no album so far has been as dark as this one, prepare for chills, suspense and some frights as we listen to the third and final in most light
its okay i think im still coping with his voice but the dark ambient elements are actually really good especially in the second half. i wasnt paying much attention to his lyrics but when the other vocalists start speaking the rhythm of their dialogue felt like some kind of conversation, like hes talking with a spirit or his conscious im not sure. maybe im super far off base. i liked the lullaby at the end

last movie of the night. this one was my pick :)
coming back to this i appreciate it a whole lot more. its so weird how this was even greenlit and shot and released, everything about it seems like a financial failure. ridiculously slow, super cold and alien (for obvious reasons), the soundtrack is super abstract electronic weirdness, and the story feels really obtuse. i think a lot of these things though are reasons i really like it. its kind of in its own realm and theres not really anything else like it. also love how its shot, surprisingly really great cinematography. just really cool aesthetically too

happy halloween! but if youre reading this, hallow's eve has already passed us... but im writing it late so whatever
the spooky celebrations start here. went over to a friends house with some others and we all carved pumpkins together, then we wrote three movies each onto little pieces of paper and drew them from a bucket. our first movie was sleepy hollow.
kind of rolled my eyes at this and i wasnt expecting much but honestly... it could have been worse i guess. the visuals are actuslly pretty awesome, i fuck with the color grading and gross ass gloom forest vibes. its kind of a worthless story, it feels like a kids movie but its not? also weird oedipus vibes from the main guy, and johnny depps acting is kind of cringe as fuck sometimes. we did have many a joke during this which is always great 😊

oct24
kind of didnt have anything else to read before the year ended and i remembered i picked this up a while ago (actually exactly a year ago lol) so fuck it lets faust.
i kind of kept up with the cliff notes on this as i read, just because some information isnt so immediately obvious since its all in stanzas and theres some older-english writing style stuff. but it definitely helped my appreciation. i really dig the themes and how goethe's idea of religion isnt so black and white cut into neat little boxes. someone like faust who doubts his faith and does not prefer to "worship" in the traditional sense is seen by God as one of his finest students, and someone like spoiler: click to read. also just really enjoyed the story, especially the bits with gretchen. tragic for sure.

amazing comp all things considered. im willing to overlook discs 6-8 (really just the 666vbn 1&2 tracks...) because honestly most of the material here is just stellar. some of the best harsh noise ever. the live track was cool, its more in line with the earlier self titleds' sounds but its not so aimless since its live stuff. also its kinda weird how 666vbn2 and the remastered was broken up across two discs, but i chalk it up to runtime? surely we could have cut a minute or so off of the 47 minute track and no one would be the wiser...
im seriously contemplating the boxset just for the additional stuff...

oh boy. yeah i could feel it in my gut that the early vbn stuff was ass, looks like i was right. just really boring quirky tape noise improv stuff. its not offensively bad its just stupid. i dont exactly know the difference between the two mixes but neither side caught my attention so

Everyday Psychokillers: A History for Girls

thank you so much for the book, jckmd. a gift from the FLAW adventure!
really enjoyed this. gradient kind of writing that shifts from memories to myths and fiction to history; one long string connecting everything together. its a really unique piece of feminism too, this whole psychokiller angle. not necessarily about serial killers or murderers at all even. i dont know, its a bit tough to explain. i dont think any kind of description would do it enough justice. highly recommend though

so fucking amazing. i love his style and i love that young wiese was so unrestrained and messy. the first half compiling all his one offs is fantastic, brain stabbing rapid glitching noise sketches. the second is quite interesting, working reverse-chronological through some old unreleased tapes he made. not as exciting, but still interesting and i like some of the more ambient tracks here.

so blistering. its insane they can keep this stuff up for so long so frequently.
oh yeah last night played a noise show with friends really fun we sounded really locked in i think we plan on doing some kind of tape or cd of stuff soon exciting. new band My Lice opened. knew it was free improv but wasnt expecting like EAI kind of vibes. sort of. really cool droning violin sections and lovely microphone feedbacking from drummer, but both players still did a lot of traditional noodling improv throughout. i think they need to work on their synergy, often felt like they were just playing totally separate, which is fine sometimes, but for the atmosphere it seemed like they were going for it kind of took me out of it when the drummer would shred or when the violinist would run through rudiments. speaking of which, it seemed like the violinist wasnt able to be so freely expressive. perhaps skill or just not being used to a free setting, but her playing felt really static sometimes or a bit too rigid and melodic. the drummer i think had the opposite problem though, perhaps dialing it back would help their sound more. still, it was a pleasantly surprising set that i enjoyed. i believe the next act was W.R.M. (i dont even feel like checking rym for these artists rn). he played a very (very) short and violent table-noise set. his gear included a rusty short-chain mace. it was a bit quiet which was disappointing for what it was, but otherwise it was pretty fun. hard to hate on a one minute set of anything i guess! touring act (if you can even call it a tour, he just drove up from austin i believe) Fierce Deity played third. probably the loudest set of anything ive ever seen in my entire life. genuinely felt like an earthquake. i think his sets coherence was a bit whack; it opened with a curious live vinyl manipulation/collage thing and then kind of anticlimactically switches into this ridiculous contact mic(?) harsh noise stuff. otherwise probably the best set of the night. lastly before us was Jacyie Carver, who did this homemade industrial dark ambient stuff with metal scraps, kitchen utensils and a swathe of pedals and synths. aurally very cool and interesting (despite a couple of obvious improv-fumbles and equipment setbacks), but i think its the kind of thing id rather hear than watch. that isnt to say Jaycie wasnt doing a great job, i just like the disembodied aspect of these kinds of sounds when im listening without visuals. my girlfriend loved the set, so maybe im in the minority here. would love to get even more feedbacking and more concise DIY improv stuff.

really only listened for the meshuggah, which is stupidly titled something different even though its just the same song. everything else is mid or miss, but there are surprisingly interesting bits of songs every now and again that didnt make this a complete waste of time. really i just dont like this kind of 2000s alt metal meets industrial metal meets groove meets nu meets whatever kind of metal/rock. my gf likes this stuff tho maybe ill show her a few tracks. also has nothing to do with the movie.

nicethailand inspired me to do more necrotik so i will be doing that on and off for a while ^_^
1 kind of stupid texture wind but idk feels desolate and curledintofetal faceinknees sadness listening to dust fall on your head. 2 harsher abrasive more in line with usual nf texture; waterfall. 3 indifferent more usual abrasive. very digital. feels more like rain than waterfall. 4 more. the dust comes back. like sprinkles. raising the volume did not reveal anything new. from far away i could hear a slight higher tone. 5 loudest one so far i think. the rockiness of these digital textures feels more apparent here. concrete. 6 nicest smoothest texture here. wind tunnel. dust -> sand particles 7 more abrasive. this one feels a bit thrash-y. 8 the first real departure in style from this release. very digital, white noise higher band frequencies; constantly folding in on itself. 9 did not like this one at all. while some of the other tracks here just flirt with ac-core this feels like the only one that actually totally commits to it. grating. boring. 10 last one is classic abrasive yeah. good for doing homework to. sounds roomy a bit

my girlfriend's friend's dad played guitar in this band. he killed himself at some point in the 2010s i think.
its cool. quite elegantly written songs sometimes, i honestly expected something way more simple and mindless, so that was a pleasant surprise. they play a bit slow, which hurts on the brutality meter but works in their favor to help showcase some of the technical skill and songwriting abilities.

thank you for the urging me to check this out today, flatcondoms, because this is awesome as fuck.
the singles had me a bit hesitant, while they were certainly good i just expected a way dirtier and more straight ahead bdsl album, and was take aback at the very clean and sometimes aimless tech-ing. despite my fears though, this thing fucking delivers. some of the most impressive and weirdly sensible? playing ive ever heard in a bdm album. a very skillful juggle of fat brainless chugging and breakneck complexity. i love that it doesnt rely on either purely downtuned slams or purely clean note shreds - it playfully mixes both with a lot of success. shoutout to the amazing drumming as well, initially i was kind of disappointed that Polwach was in this band but was not drumming, but i figure that he may not have the kind of technicality required for some of these songs (not to diss on Polwach at all, hes one of the best drummers ever, i just think this kind of thing requires a different kind of drummer). and speaking of Polwach... those fucking vocals! sharing the mic with one of the Mohler brothers, they both just fucking preach brutal scripture for 30 minutes. while Mohler's more traditional gutturals are very good, its Polwach's alien cricket gurgles that are the real highlight of this thing. not only are they awesome as fuck, but they are mixed and recorded so nicely! they sound so fucking clean!
hoping to come back to this a lot more, and also hoping that these guys can figure out how to release more often. another W for brvtality in 2024...

its cool i respect it and maybe 5 or 6 years ago this would have been an easy rocktime 3.5 but im just over this kind of guitar music. i think some songs drag on hella and i cant stand that bros lyrics; he sounds a little too much like kevin shields to me, anyone else? theres some compelling instrumentation with the drums and noisy guitar screechings/feedbacks, and some decent riffs and choruses that are pleasant, but i cant say anything is memorable at all. i wouldnt be surprised if they put out something great in the future though; ill keep my eyes peeled.

one of the cds i picked up at flaw. really great packaging, love the gatefold and the little paper it comes with - i need to read it!
this is such a cool and amazing release. i was not expecting it to be wall! but it is! but thats a bit misleading. it feels like the sources were the usual junk and field recordings, but i guess the title gives us a hint at the methods here: using these sources to build up a big wall of texture and slowly weathering it away - super slow dynamics! gonna need to relisten hella. awesome stuff

i watched this on my flight back.
feels kind of hard to rate in a way its literally just the events leading up to UBL's assassination. didnt really feel a whole lot of artistic interpretation or anything, and not that thats bad just makes this feel more like a documentary than anything. i do appreciate the unbiased camera and hardly any soundtrack to speak of.
perhaps im just a Guy but the ending sequence with the soldiers infiltrating the house with all their gear and nightvision shit is just cool af to me. i think its interesting how the military has gotten breaking in to basically a science. i think the nonverbal communications are really cool, and its dope as fuck that its intense and theres action but its not loud or flashy. just coolness and dudes

FLAW Day 2
oct24
PART ONE Heat Signature - perfect face melting awesome. mix of cool feedback techniques and cut up cd stuff. went on a bit long but still fun
Perfected Grave Vault - more face melting. seems like one channel as opposed to HS' two; bounces starkly between screeching feedback and nauseating (literally) low end earthquakes. very good
Hypertrophy - coed body building themed noise. first half of the set was some whiplash insane stop start stuff that was just brutal. the second half seemed more methodical and slow moving which i didnt like as much. wildly inconsistent in terms of volume but when it was loud it was fucking LOUD
FLESHLICKER - one of the acts i was looking forward to the most. but was not what i was expecting at all. performance art wall, started and he wasnt on stage then revealed himself shirtless in the audience doing evil twisted laughs. when he walked on stage the wall started and he spent the duration contorting his arms and spitting on himself, laughing or sobbing. kind of cringe but the wall was nice
PART TWO Unsustainable Social Condition - really fun walling feedback stuff. uber short - extra points for that
Knifedoutofexistence - slow and brooding death industrial stuff. started with lots of screeching and moved into unbelievable rumble bass synth. not super exciting. update: probably the longest set of all time, i actually ended up napping during it.
Parasite Nurse - my first time hearing them. really fascinating cut up glitch stuff. i didnt get a look at the gear, but it sounded like it may have been a complex setup. kind of went on a long time though. eventually evolved into this very encompassing drone thing
Form Hunter - really fun head banging junk stuff. they wailed on something with baseball bats. and i think there was a saw somewhere
PART THREE Leah P - sadly missed this because i thought there would be a break but there wasnt. apparently it was really great, with a mosh pit and everything!
Body Carve - really interesting and head hurting frequency range. very strange sound for junk noise. kind of meanders. not the worst
Black Leather Jesus - crazy how the entirety of the quintets set up just becomes this ridiculous massive wall. very organic sounding though, you can feel all the movement from everyone even if you cant pick out individual parts.
Paranoid Time - heard their set from outside. fun feedback harsh.
PART FOUR Kakerlak - grinding junk. randomly ended with 2 minutes of beautiful anw crackle for no reason loved that
Shredded Nerve - not nearly as violent as the name implies. very boring. industrial/dark ambient vibes
John Wiese - ridiculous. sometimes it sounded like sophie. insane panning
Skin Graft - very heavy crunching slightly glitching. its nice, but at this point im very fatigued and kind of just want to get the night over with, so i sat on the ground and just listened. i think i heard the sound of clattering metal at some points.
PART FIVE OVMN - way better than i expected, just pure 1000 layers of feedback wall. he was violent wifh his set but it didnt translate into the noise , which i actually kind of liked. just perfect energy for the sound i guess.
The Rita - oh my god so amazing. my expectations were already high and he somehow blew those the fuck out of the water. his noise absolutely ripped - fucking building rumbling walls and so much dynamics when he switches to like harsh field recording mode so intense and just like transcendant. i think the recording he was using was like, someone in a forest just shooting a gun? using a power drill too? no idea. the model was so cool, she actually ended up walking through the crowd and posing, doing her makeup, and at the end when she returned to the stage she ripped up all of her nylon and drew on herself.
Psywarfare - kind of seems like a flaw industry plant, my first impression at least. maybe im wrong tho because it was pretty nuts. i unfortunately - i think? - decided to sit down for their set, and right when i did all i could see in the crowd was sparks flying literally everywhere, followed by a smell of burning that filled the whole venue. the noise was impressive and fucked up.
Aaron Dilloway - another one i sat out on. but i still heard. it didnt seem as audibly exciting as the last show i caught him at last year, but it was still sprawling and fun. perhaps it wasnt as good because i wasnt watching the process up close. or maybe it wasnt mixed as well. good note to end the day on though. |

FLAW Day 1
oct24
preshow Lina - missed the set up and first couple minutes, but then there was a large technical issue and they had to stop playing for like 5 min before it got sorted out. good little wall though
Blading - pretty ridiculous harsh collage danger music stuff, lots of broken glass and scrap metal junk stuff. wrestling themed. kind of silly should not have been second band bc the time between the next set was even longer thanks to having to clean up so much trash. but fun
Infectants - heavy wall vibes i liked the textures a lot. they played to drone footage of beautiful mountain. they didnt have a lot of stage presence, moreso listening music than watching music.
meketa p.e. - silly liquid modulation running around in crowd power electronics. not fun to listen to, but fun to watch. very short, bonus points for that.
impact initiative - off to a poor start since it took like 40 minutes to set up and we still have 5 bands after them. really crushing wall-territory harsh though. i didnt catch a good glimpse of the setups but they seemed elaborate. i now realize the very long set up was so the next three acts could play very rapid succession. i guess thats good?
weakened - didnt even realize they were playing until after the set, i thought it was a second part to impact initiative. i remember it being awesome junk metal harsh
october prowler - great crunch wall. super fucking heavy
shanked - very fun feedback wall junk madness. goes on a bit long tho. btw the last 4 acts were all the same several people so it makes sense why they all set up together for so long. i think this is the "Tag Team Initiative"
Slit Throats - i believe hes standing in for action discipline? im not sure. awesome jp wrestle distortion.
Action/Discipline - ok so slit throats didnt stand in for them he just played anyway. really amazing feedback wailing fist pumping harsh. from where i was standing it looked like they were masturbating a lot. for all i know, they might have been...
Vice Wears Black Hose - master stuff really great. ramirez sound source was mic feedback and rita was like waves crashing idk sounded like that. great synergy, lots of very slow moving. at the end they hugged. ❤️ |

tonally a mess all over the place and i hate bradley coopers face but it is sometimes funny and cute or heartwarming so points for that. the ending is amazing though. makes no sense why thats in there but god damn. literally no words just pure feeling

The Employees
oct24
read on the flight and at my hotel while i listened to Nostromo.
structurally similar to The Freedom Factory, which i read earlier this year: psuedo-connected/disconnected blurbs and perspectives that paint a large picture of a situation rather than a single linear story or event. and it's generality and ambiguity also reminded me of something id read in the addendums of SCP files. it kind of pales in comparison to both of these things though because it just meanders and chugs along without ever sinking its teeth into anything truly compelling or exciting. there were small sections about the humanoids that kind of touched on what it means to think for an android, but they were few and far between. i dont know, it didnt really speak to me. at least it was quite the easy one day read.

2001: A Space Odyssey
oct24
finished this so quick.
honestly amazing, arguably much better than the movie, though they kind of serve different purposes. i think it deserves a rewatch obviously, but, as one goodreads user puts it, the book "fills out" the hollow space left behind by the movie. up for debate, but there is definitely truth to this having some meat. i love the breadth that it takes a lot of these scenes i now realize i only knew superficially, such as the prehistoric opening sequence. Clarke proposes a profound, radical and honestly terrifying theory about humanity's trajectory that i really loved exploring. the Discovery sections were great flexes of Clarke's skill in science fiction writing. he doesnt really dangle shiny objects in your face, it all comes off very neutral, natural and straightforward. these sections also reminded me a lot of Moby Dick (which, curiously enough, is mentioned by name at one point... perhaps i hit the nail on the head?) since they kind of juggle task-specific technical jargon and human contemplations paralleling the scenes. of course, the star of the show is the last portion, which without spoiling, is just pure magic. though i do think having seen the movie helps here, as its such a visually important section, Clarke however is totally able to hold up with language alone.
masterpiece, considering raising the score but ill sit on it. gonna try to read the other books in the series at some point.

kind of amazing what theyve done for music and no one is really talking about it. basically completely predicts all "ethereal"/"dreamy"/"cloud" modern music everyone listens to these days. just kids listening to music they like putting elements together we love goth aesthetics and dream pop and hip hop. most important musical experiments ever

i listened to this a really really long time ago while i played mario kart at my friends house. in like highschool. randomly deciding to revisit it today. i wanted to listen to this on july 4th but decided not to.
its fine. i dont think this kind of music really speaks to me, but its technically impressive. i like the turntablism/sound collage bits lol. i wonder why the f word is censored but not the other word. some good verses.
i actually own the supreme shirt and poster for this lol. for some reason.

they honestly had a lot of potential. the instrumentals are actually really good, guitars sound great and they write some compelling riffs, plus i love how much fun it sounds like the drummer was having (and damn that drum sound is amazing). lots of good drum parts. goentier is actually a pretty talented singer but his raspy grunge vocals get pretty grating over the course of 45 minutes. while there is certainly praise for the sound, the actual music isnt all that good (shocking i know). as some others have said, it comes down to repetitive pop formulas and childish lyrics/amateur themes.
apparently gontier just this last week rejoined them and they have new music being worked on. it may be time for a discog run... nah im playin lol
love the cover a lot

i actually really liked the first disc. kind of addressed my main concern about Apple in that its very very consistent, not really any filler, and its generally way more exciting. at the same time though it still feels a bit weak, it felt kind of hollow to me and seemed less like an evolution of cook's sound and more of a refined continuation. i praised the multiple disc aspect of 7G, and i still think it has some merit, but sitting through that a second time just isnt rewarding or enjoyable. not only that but the other two discs here are so beyond boring its ridiculous.
i can see myself coming back to disc 1. i hate the cover

really do not want to listen to the entire album so im just rating the single. first of all, that cover of domination is boring and worthless.
id be lying if i said the chorus of this wasnt stuck in my head 24/7 for the past like 4 days. his voice is weirdly awesome, it sounded off putting at first but its grown on me. the thrash part is actually so fucking stupid sounds like a really stupid if metallica made this kind of skit. i like the clean guitars in this though.

didnt realize how many of these songs i know. my mom used to play this a lot i guess.
his voice gets grating after a while, at least the raspy grunge delivery he usually does. hes honestly a talented singer when hes just doing clean melodies. the guitars on this are also honestly good. theres a lot of potential for something really awesome, but they sadly just stick to the tried and true formats.

pretty ridiculous. super colorful and fun; its weird to me that they never released anything like this before or after doing this. maybe itd harder to market this on studio releases. you can 100% hear the merzbow worship though lol, absolutely that 98 show alec did with him changed him

Kee MacFarlane
oct24
finished this in one day. its a really quick and easy read, but i also just really enjoy his writing. i realized reading this what exactly i find so lulling about his style. he writes in a way that is both ambiguous and intently precise, confusingly. he is presenting specific, very tangible concepts, but only figuratively waving his hand in the direction hes looking, from the comfort of his own seat. frustrating, but only because it kind of forces you to engage and dissect. hes intense and merciless, but wont spoon feed you. tracing the outline, setting the scene, but its up to you to color and move the pieces. thats how i read it, anyway.
so its a critique on Vanessa Place's "You Had to Be There: Rape Jokes". sort of. its really more of a wider critique on the media coverage and feminist reaction towards rape, "as a concept", and porn, intertwined with Place specific criticisms and some classic Sotos autobio. probably about as best as i can describe it without literally spelling the entire book out, so if you have a copy just give it a read. he does some lore dumping too which is awesome.

been hella in the mood to read lately, finally got through this. not that its difficult to read ive just been lazy with it.
its pretty cool though. very woven narrative structure, obviously on the whole, but also within each segment. the oftentimes lack of proper quotations, punctuation or the heavy anonymity make it especially hazy in details but concrete in subject. sort of like listen through the wall to strangers' conversations. also a unique glimpse into a part of russia i havent been exposed to before. the translator also did a really good job, im guessing, as there is a lot of humor and subtlety that seems quitd difficult to translate out of a language into another.

last activity of the month. watching suspiria with her for first time so we can watch the newer one since her friend recommended it to her.
kind of awesome how its like... elevated horror? am i using that term right? like its all about mood and atmosphere and lighting and visuals and sound but theres not really anything traditionally horror about this. idk. cool. love the theatre-stage vibe with some of the effects and lighting.

kijnd of a different vibe for longtember but a necessary mood switch. really great collection though. mixed really well and these are some of his most soulful performances ive heard. love the slower more melodic stuff, and god damn that piano is beautiful. the highlights are obviously the longest tracks, but ill be damned if 1.2 isnt the best damn jazz song ever!

sep24
first track is beautiful perfect. just a plain nature recording. sounds amazing. second is cool. i wish the field recordings and "fog" drone were switched in terms of volume; the fog being more of a backdrop then a center stage thing would have just sounded a lot nicer i think. the last track i just could not get into at all. again, its cool, but the fact that it is just 3 minute recordings one after another constantly takes me out of it, because as soon as one ends it goes quiet, before the next quietly creeps in. just too stop start-y!

since we're just knocking out 2+ hour albums i suppose its about damn time for the ne no
totally justifies that runtime tho always entertaining and i love the atmospheres here. really dig the evil as fuck tracks, but the r&b flips are a super awesome contrast really beautiful wholesome awesomeness.
i wish someone made tapes of this...

EAI Drone, Reductionism, Glitch avant-garde, anxious, instrumental, rain, sparse
sep24
also in some eai drone highbrow modern classical vibes this week so more of that
first and last track were really pretty, not at all what i was expecting lol. just really lovely very small guitar melodying and shifting little insect background noises, its quite nice. the second track focuses more on nakamura's no input stuff, as such its of course the weakest track. also a bit unpleasant. cool i guess but idrc about it.

Deep House Detroit Techno, Downtempo sampling, urban, rhythmic, nocturnal, mellow
sep24
been in the mood for some electronic techno 4/4 tyype shit feel like i dont give house enough of a chance so yea
really strong opening handful of tracks, the first third of this would be an easy 3.5, but it kind of falls off heavy towards the middle, and the last disc is just mediocre to me. wish i liked it more. its definitely good background noise though
3, one star for every chair |

ok, young rocktime, a 2 may have been a bit harsh... you were probably just having a bad day?
i randomly got the urge to check this out again, this is like the third time ive revisited it, and honestly its good. its at least not bad, or as bad as i originally thought. its very calm. i like thd synths a lot, the vocals in track 2 are cool too. perhaps in another 4 years itll be a 4

1-3 (1997)EAI, Free Improvisation Free Jazz, Noise, Glitch improvisation, chaotic, instrumental, avant-garde, suspenseful
sep24
kind of in a long album mood since i really liked the Nitsch album so more long albums yay but not wall not in a wall mood sry
honestly wasnt expecting to enjoy this as much as i did. super creative, so many different and well executed ideas, i kind of thought it would be wall of sound style improv but i fw the more beat-centric moving-sketch kind of improv it goes for. the EAI/noise elements are perfect, lots of super cool and honestly stank-facing textures/rhythms. i just really like the atmosphere/aesthetic of the whole thing. thats not to say there isnt some missteps - the first track being split between the left and right like that is grating as fuck, and theres definitely a handful of tracks that overstay their welcome or are just boring, but its still a really impressive collection nonetheless

Brutal Death Metal Slam Death Metal

death metal fest happening next year with encenathrakh, dripping and devourment and this band also for some reason. so i had to peep
and its insane they are on the bill bro. so fucking boring. most uneventful slam ive ever heard

Deathgrind aggressive, political, energetic, raw, heavy
sep24
in a random grind/deathgrind mood. a long time ago in a grocery store far far away a young rocktime listened to this and was bored by it. coming back its definitely not bad, but it isnt anything to really write home about. everyone is right though that theres plenty of amazing drum performances here - something noteworthy about this is the creativity theyre able to display within the grind framework.

Post-Hardcore, Metalcore Melodic Metalcore, Emo-Pop, Mall Screamo female vocalist
sep24
girlfriend loves this album; we went to the gym and she forgot her airpods so we shared mine and listened to this together.
its pretty good, i like her vocals a lot, but i think theres a distinct lack of standout riffs or parts that make me want to come back to this on my own. doesnt feel very catchy i guess, or at least i wasnt able to catch it.

just like millions of emotions splattering criss-crossing cutting the screen lifetime of memories and experiences really really special and so much love and heart. opening sequence had me in tears and the spoiler: click to read so yeah basically the best movie of all time. sometimes elliot's voice was kind of annoying but i like how lax and kind of comedic it is sometimes. the same vibes as Ett hål i mitt hjärta [A Hole in My Heart] for me

cute. i like the vocal style, sounds like just his normal voice sometimes. very dynamic song structures too. probably needs a relistening in the future
3 |
|
sep24
watched with bro.
grapples with some amazing themes and imagery and emotions but can never quite handle them in the right way. hes too focused on these people and what theyre doing, if that makes any sense. its just boring as fuck. powerful opening sequence, though.

Jerk, Experimental Hip Hop Cloud Rap party, energetic, chaotic, noisy

insane shit. feels kind of indecipherable. bass goes nuts. i love how quiet xavs tags are compared to these beats.

sep24
dont care so much about the first track, its fine, but the second one is so good. they both ride the beat like its a damn horsey and xav sound good as fuck. intro kills me why is that even there
3.5 |

Vocal Trance
sep24
so hard to find vocal/uplifting trance that i actually really love. seems like a lot of slop to sort through. this was really nice though. not sure if i want to check out his albums or not. i used to not love Spread Your Wings' vocals but ive come around to them. Together is quite amazing though
3.5 |

couldnt think of anything else to listen to while doing homework so fuck it just put this on since ive been meaning to listen forever.
basically organic abstract psy heaven. energetic, dark, and feels super alien. love it.

Freetekno Acid Techno rhythmic, repetitive, aggressive, energetic, manic

freetek continues to be perfect music for the gym. super energetic. i guess when people made these mixes they just started recording whenever and stopped when the CS ran out of tape, none of these mixes ever really start or end. the rave goes on forever yeah
3.5 |

Cloud Rap Jerk mellow, surreal, sampling, ethereal, male vocalist

wasnt super into this except for the last track. great prod. i do like xavs one-take quick-shot style of eps that are just simple beats and some freestyles. its nice, shows how crazy his work ethic is

sep24
just righting my wrongs here. needed this shit for the freezer.
dont really need to write a whole lot; if youve seen the I Can't Believe It's Not Encenathrakh entry then you can guess what this one should be. undisputed reigning king of all of free death, i dont really think anyone will ever top this, as pessimistic as that sounds. they have a really unique - even in the free-death sphere - sound pallet, like some reviews are saying it almost feels like a parody on brutality, the mixing pays special respect to the riffing and vocals, which is something that i find to be quite rare in today's free death, given the evolved emphasis on the "free" and less on the "death". the drums are also unbeatable. i could probably listen to weasel walter forever and not get tired. not very pingy, but this is one of the few albums that doesnt need ping. the slightly orchestrated improv structures are also something you dont see much outside of like maybe effluence sometimes, but even then the results are totally different. i really love the vocals, too.
4.5 |
|
Acid Techno, Acidcore, Freetekno
sep24
one more mix for today. trying to familiarize myself with acid a bit more so this seemed like a good idea.
probably takes the cake for lowest quality freetek mix ive heard so far. plenty of times where it sounds like someone stepped infront of the mic and everything gets hella quiet, or like sooo many transitions that were just begging for beat sync. pretty sloppy, but i dont think that necessarily detracts from the subjective value of it. its quite fun. the second half i really liked.
3 |
|
Freetekno
sep24
also listened at work and enjoyed way more. a lot more tracks that play around with crazy laser synths, and the fucking bass is insane in some songs, totally distorting and crushing the entire mix for sections at a time. i like the cover too
3.5 |

FUCK LE PEN!!
good freetekno. kind of just on in the background while i worked.

Rage (2008) [Single]Hardstyle, Nustyle heavy, party, energetic, rhythmic
sep24
apparently the holy grail of hardstyle. its good, but i cant say im totally sold. perhaps i need to dig deeper, or check out some mixes. the songwriting is interesting, kind of all over the place which is weird for a rave genre. but its cool. i like that.
3 |
|
Freetekno
sep24
first track was pretty good. everything else is fine freetekno.
3 |
|
sep24
insane, and probably impossible to talk about, so im just gonna throw words at this entry and maybe yall will get something more concise when i rewatch it.
was lucky enough to get tickets for the special imax showing of this. they had a livestream of an interview with coppola and some other directors before the movie, but the stream kept cutting out for minutes at a time. this dude next to us would laugh so hard at the most abritrary shitわ.
truthfully yeah its really the only movie ever that is like this. post-hollywood. post-story? a movie about itself. i really love the concept of using wildly different (chronologically) props/costumes/set pieces to create a fable that is vague and timeless. representing conservativism with ancient roman/european culture, "progressivism" with a very organic and flowing italo-futurism, libertarian right with fascist/nazi iconography, its a really cool clash on the screen. amazing use of cg, some honestly beautiful sequences that are heavy or just pure cg work. say what you will about the spoiler: click to read. i also wasnt expecting this to be so silly at times. and very clunky, in a good way.
i guess in a way its closest relative is southland tales. people are saying babylon too?
3.5 for now |

cj b uh gy og mix is fine i prefer the hardcore one lowkey not sure if i heard the right dub edit but i doubt it would affect the rating much

Freetekno Gabber, Freeform Hardcore energetic, repetitive, lo-fi, sampling, rhythmic
sep24
yep and you know theres nothing else in the world to listen to except french freetekno mixes so lets just listen to one more PECKETTE mix.
again, not as good as that bootleg but still really good. hes got an amazing selection of tracks, a good ear for these really intense high energy freetekno sets. i disagree that B > A, i think both are equally fun
3.5 |
|
Freetekno Gabber urban, playful, repetitive, lo-fi, energetic
sep24
a step down from that last mix, but still quality freetek.
3.5 |

Freetekno Gabber
sep24
so yall just werent gonna tell me about the most awesome freetekno mix of all time.
like constant nonstop no bullshit 100mph head bouncing tekno. no breaks, no grating samples, no weak points. i just wish it had a tracklist!
4 |
|
Techstep, Darkstep
sep24
much better. first track is so lovely, surprisingly atmospheric. i wish the second one had the same kind of light and airy vibes, but its more in line with the skullstep stuff from that ep. still, its a good track that managed to get stuck in my head for like an hour
3.5 |
|
Skullstep heavy, dark, aggressive, noisy, rhythmic
sep24
very very one dimensional, but undeniably intense and fun. i just wish there was a bit more experimentation, its all rather predictable after the first drop.
3 |

Gorenoise
sep24
awesome vomiting. fun stuff. lasagna
3 |
|
Freetekno Acid Techno, Breakbeat Hardcore rhythmic, instrumental
sep24
definitely more exciting than Forward the Revolution, a bit more dance/rave focused, but i still couldnt totally get into it.
also i dont think their second album thats listed on this site even exists. at least i cant find any trace of it anywhere else...
3 |
|
Freetekno Hip Hop, Breakbeat Hardcore, Bleep Techno repetitive, party, political
sep24
its fine yea idrg the hype ig tho. feels too meditative and closer in spirit to like, goa stuff. hopefully i dont sound like a stupid worthless animal making that comparison but thats just how i feel
3 |

Freetekno Breakbeat
sep24
takes a bit to get going, some questionable production, but god damn does a lot of this bounce. super fun stuff, lovely use of breakbeats as well. quite a colorful album i felt like.
3.5 |

Goregrind, Gorenoise
sep24
crazy like ultra thin free gore. hard to imagine these are programmed drums but ig the proof is in the fucking pvdding.

Comedy Rap, Novelty, PluggnB
sep24
crazy how this wasnt on rym.
basically any song that is about dinkleberg is good, luckily that means more than half the songs here are good so positive score. its crazy they made timmy's dad antisemetic at the end
3 |
|
Freetekno
sep24
not bad. first track though is kind of boring but the b side of this is pretty fun
3 |
|
Freetekno
sep24
i can always count on crystal distortion to pick me up when im feeling down.
even though i dont love everything hes put out, hes definitely the most consistent and im finding i can rely on any kind of release by him to scratch my tek itch. theres a really healthy amount of experimentation here without being super outsider. very fun
3.5 |
|
Freetekno Breakbeat
sep24
so boring like bordering headache and had my eyes rolling idgaf at all cant tell you why i even sat through all of this
2 |

Acid Techno, Freetekno instrumental
sep24
really interesting. wish it was a bit louder. not sure how much i love the acid stuff but it had my head bobbing. love the cover
3 |
|
Wobule (1997) [DJ Mix]Freetekno
sep24
another great-to-work-to mix. starts off a bit thin and kind of weak, which had me worried, but this evolves so magnificently. also cuts off on each side abruptly - maybe thats just a common trope in freetek mixes. also like crazy amateur so many sloppy mistakes but i hella fw it just seems like really genuine not really worried about how polished just get out there and party. side a > side b but both are great
3.5 |
|
Freetekno
sep24
perfect gym music. tons of energy. def rough around the edges but i like that. i dont like that sides end kind of abruptly but i guess they were just going nuts and not worried about flipping the cassette

spider 2 is beautiful af and also love that he followed up spider i really like that song. tell me is a xav diss he sounds real torn up on that one and i love the strings in the last song. not super crazy about the second but its still good. sounds like hes finally being super sincere and vulnerable; his lyrics are getting a lot better. i like hearing him on a not jerk beat

so it looks like all the hate is from them being a groomer but the music is honestly fine. if being able to recognize a gross beat is really triggering then this may not be the release for you but i kind of got over after the first song. yeah low effort but idrc

viscera infest side is classick. leans more into goregrind than bdm like they usually incorporate elements of. paracocjrjfken side is actually good too. surprisingly. still porn samples but theyre short and have effects so i guess they arent like totally soulless or whatever. good grinding too pause

got this from a pack of vinyl rips on slsk. fun stuff, some breakbeat inspired sections/songs. liked the first track the most. production is actually pretty good for a vinyl rip. guess im just used to the 90s vinyl rip youtube upload quality for this kind of music.

Ambient Noise Wall noisy, lonely
sep24
quiet study day calls for quiet wall wednesday.
another masterful crackle from the king of ANW. "fireplace" is a bit too cliche of imagery, and this is actually rather cold feeling... but it pops and sizzles with the same kind of heat-transfer flow-of-energy something like that would have. it feels like theres movement, but i cant really tell...

Freetekno
sep24
not sure what compelled me to do some more freetekno digging but now its the only thing i will listen to for 100 days
pretty awesome, the first track is a crazy sprawling 10 minute tekno epik, but the highlight for me is B1. just killer. B2 is also good but its hard to follow up a track like B1

Slam Death Metal heavy, aggressive, ominous, rhythmic, male vocalist

god damn cant believe i ever gave this a 3. another record thats all about the grooves, though i applaud gorevent for keeping it a bit rough around the edges in every department. doesnt feel as plastic or packaged as other modern slam (even that Sensor Motorik suffered from this). yeah production could use some work, the drums especially sound kind of lame, but it doesnt really matter that much when the riffs are this killer.

Thrash Metal Crossover Thrash aggressive, heavy, energetic, male vocalist, rhythmic
sep24
just wanna go on record here and say that i tried to listen to another powerviolence album that was 14 minutes in length and i couldnt make it past the first track so it looks like 7 minutes is the longest i can take pause
tuesday sunny weather always got me in the mood to try something new and some buddies in a server im in were discussing this band in light of the recent announcement that they were touring with pantera which is controversial to power trip fans for a number of reasons. not my convo tho.
its a lot simpler and more straight forward than i was expecting, even in terms of thrash i feel like (not that im a thrash expert or anything). the drums feel very stripped down, often times feeling like theyre doing the bare minimum to outline the riffing, which is head nod-able at best and filler chug slop at worst. weirdly enough, the vocals were actually the most enjoyable aspect of this for me. not overly theatrical or abrasive, they actually sit really comfortably in the mix. i tried to actively not listen to what his lyrics were because being able to hear them and trying to follow the narratives of songs always takes me out of the music and like i just cant unhear shit it starts getting distracting idk hopefully yall understand where im coming from. but yeah i didnt get much out of this, wish it was busier or heavier.

as with most Defeated Sanity releases, im both mildly impressed but ultimately unsatisfied. sure, i love the headspinning structures, dissonance, sheer display of technical prowess (always love paying special attention to their drums) but nothing strikes a particularly strong chord with me. it feels like its music that reveals itself on lots of repeat listens, but it doesnt really do anything to make me want to relisten to it at all. this all sounds really negative but this is definitely a good album no doubt. i guess i just still dont get the DS hype

another one im surprised almost none of my mutuals have heard, seeing as Party was so popular.
although after patiently sitting through all of this, i can kind of see why. just kind of goes nowhere and is hella boring as fuuuuck. not thje most interesting textures or ideas really. there is a weird like... breakcore...? element that randomly shows up for like half a second or less sometimes idk yhou have to hear it to understand what i mean

definitely the weakest season, but its still good. i liked the yard story, but the silvercops one just feels so half assed and pointless, like they seriously do not give it any time at all to flesh itself out. it also just like, is kind of stupid? like with the wall/the yard it feels like youre really looking into this whole world with its own community and politics and culture, but silvercops just feels like another shitty space war story. the end of the yard arc this season was also really whiplash and i didnt like it that much. they should make the yard or silvercops into like a comic or something that would be fun, i dont know if i would read it though... maybe like, it can be a comic that fills in the space between episodes of the yard/silvercops but you dont *need* to read it for those episodes but it does help. idk. |

this is awesome lol crazy it has literally 0 attention but ig its south africa dcore theres probably not a lot of people looking for that in general really. found it thru deathgrind site.
pretty crazy though i cant tell if drums are programmed or not they sound insane though and the guitar feels like its always falling out of time /pos love the varied vocal styles too kind of unique shriek/higher register squeals. everything blends together cant imagine coming back to this but i should check to see later if they put anything else out

yeah im still not super sold on neofolk. i think im still having a hard time really enjoying his vocals or some of the industrial influences. the female vocalist was nice though. idk a lot of this is in one ear out the other for me.
i disagree with the ns tag the correction history has some good arguments against it.

Demo (1995) [Additional release]Death Metal, Death Doom Metal
sep24
the concept is pretty cool: a band that explores and empathizes with autism rather than alienating or exploiting it. at least, thats what the opening sample feels like to me. i wasnt really paying attention to the lyrics, they could be entirely unrelated, but its fun to imagine where this band would have gone with their themes and aesthetic had they continued to put music out. surely, in this day and age, they would have been pressured to change their name or something, or maybe they would have had a really good standing image in the autism community. who knows.
as for the music itself, i think its unfair to say its bad - im not really into deathdoom so im not a good judge on the quality of it - but i certainly didnt enjoy it. i suppose the vocals sounded nice sometimes.

certainly a polarizing release. i fw the idea, its cool that its one long song, even though its obviously lots of short songs connected with samples they all feel super similar and not just like different tracks stitched side by side. everyones in agreement that the samples are just too much or arent being used in a more beneficial way. the airhorns get annoying. they have good slams sometimes. the 2chainz cover, while seriously stupid, did have me trying not to laugh.

Slam Death Metal heavy, vulgar, rhythmic, violence, aggressive
sep24
no idea what i was on when i gave this a 3, relistened to it, and still thought it was a 3. easily some of the best caveman mushy brain head banging slam ever, crazy consistent and so many fun riffs. i love the really stripped back drums, it reminds me of Epigenetic Neurogenesis, how its just ridiculously headbangable because everything is moving together and its purely groove, but it just works so much better here. perhaps its the slight sloppiness? it isnt so overproduced; very "human" and natural feel to it, or maybe its just because it simply isnt very technical and it emphasizes the straightforwardness of the slams.

finally fiiinallyyy sat down with friends and watched this, its been on our to do list forever
really just amazing film making, but thats exactly what i expect out of any schrader joint. really loved the theatre set pieces to represent the contained stories of mishima's novels, and i thought it was really interesting how they explored and played with mishima's own trouble grappling with his homosexuality, through violence-instead-of-intimacy/slavery relationships or disabilities and manipulation. loved the soundtrack too.

2 (2009)Ambient Noise Wall, Lowercase
sep24
since im doing homework i wanted something a bit quiet.
definitely better than Brittanee Marie Drexel, but i cant really say its a wall i enjoy either. not his most sparse, far from it, and its actually quite "constant". i put quotes because it does have a ebb and flow oscillating kind of movement to it, it feels like stuttering a bit, and will go from dense crackles to more sparse ones back and forth the entire runtime. understandably its all very dizzying which makes this hard to really enjoy, but its preferred to the mostly-silent Brittanee.

Ambient Noise Wall Binaural Beats
sep24
a little bit different to start today off.
ive been on a silver dove binge of sorts so it seemed fitting to revisit his track, and perhaps do some reflections on mine.
its been well over 2 years since this was put out. a lot has changed for me in that time. basically my entire life is different now; its strange to me to think back on what i was going through back then, how different it is from today. tay was still alive, i essentially didnt have a permanent home, and i was avoiding everything because of my depression. listening back to my track here i feel this flood of memories and emotions, things i havent resolved or things ive consciously and unconsciously buried deep in my body. right now, in my therapy sessions, im learning to look back on my past with compassion and kindness - understanding. its difficult, but its just how growth works.
as for the music itself, its still a track i hold in higher regards than some of my other output from this time. it features a layer of a field recording taken from one of those nature-surveillance-camera live streams. i think the fact that the wall itself is so purely bass rumbling actually helps to emphasize the field recording as theres really no frequencies its fighting with. its nice to hear the soft hum of it. for some reason i also included these obnoxious clicking sounds that appear two or three times very briefly. not sure why i did that, i dont really think they fit at all and they kind of take me out of the track.
i dont have as much to say about lamo's track, but its definitely a lot better than mine haha. its quieter for sure, but turning it down means that its a lot more relaxing and calm. its always amazing to me how lamo is basically able to create entire worlds in his walls. really lovely stereo kind of... organic crackling? im not sure what to call it exactly (honestly sometimes it sounds like slurping! loll) but regardless its great.
i actually made a video for this release when we conceived it, featuring a clip from the nature live stream i mentioned earlier and a clip of a deep sea drone descending into the ocean. maybe i should upload that somewhere soon.

by some means im not gonna detail here im connected by a couple of degrees to this bro and some shit went down and now i know about this so im rating it.
needs to work on mixing theres literally no bass and like actually no low frequencies its all mids and up, not even exaggerating. massive liquid vocals and the instrumentals are super quiet, it kind of sounds like he feasibly could have just stolen a goregrind instrumental and just layer his vocals on top (idk why you would but thats possible i guess). curious to see if he makes anything else though

i have an idea. lets make 1 minute long songs and then fill them with 40 second samples of people vomiting or liquid shit farting. and then lets play a mid tempo blast beat with our drum machine and quietly gurgle and chug our guitar. this will be fucking awesome.
NOT!

another one thats a bit different today. relistening because im working on my top 2024 albums :)
its obviously way different than most other DH releases but its still rooted in the same kind of very distant and nihilistic ANW. this release feels much more sinister though, its got a super dark atmosphere, it doesnt feel as empathetic as some of their others. i really love the general ebb and flow of the noise here, in a weird way its super comfortable to me.
hope they continue to pursue this kind of style on at least a few more one off releases.

Gorenoise, Harsh Noise Wall
aug24
so according to gald it is also national gore day so i compromised with GONOCOCCUS - SESSIONS #10-15
its wild to me that this felt like such a natural yet so far removed evolution of gorenoise, yet only just the beginning of something totally brand new and revolutionary.
Gonococcus' music was already pretty fringe (for gore) to begin with, often just being his vocals and the room-reverb or feedback on his early splits. the step forward into wall territory only makes sense for the project, and looking back at it is such a necessary step in gorenoise as well. while gorenoise's grind roots very clearly put a focus on taking metal to its logical extremes, gorenoise eschews this slightly by placing less emphasis on the strictly metal framework. "gore" becomes more of a concept and aesthetic, loosely (or sometimes strictly) associated with certain types of sounds, textures, and visuals. artists push vocal gurgling beyond human capabilities, incorporating pitch shifting often times, or sometimes (in the case of Hydroencephalocystocele) completely abstracting vocals entirely and repurposing them as more of an instrument ("toilet" vocals), and less of a narrative force. a natural consequence is also a complete lack of lyrics (most of the time). in the same way, traditional metal instruments become less and less concretely defined. drums become nonsensical blurs of programmed blast beats, guitars totally lose articulation, and sometimes everything falls away and the entire thing is filled with just plain noise. gorenoise has always been about textures, first and foremost. with this in mind, it not only makes complete sense, but is a necessary progression, that gorenoise needed to breed with wall noise, a genre that prioritizes texture, singularly, over just about everything else.
so, understandably, this is like one of, if not THE most important gorenoise releases, in my opinion. certainly at least within the last decade. sure, plenty of other gorewall releases exist (in fact, its a term thats existed for quite some time, at least as far back as 2010 with Maggard's Eat Humans, Not Fish). however, i feel that with Sessions... Gonococcus perfects the formula, most importantly capitalizing on the idea that gorenoise can, in fact, be atmospheric. pure sewer pipe heaven (as nicethailand puts it); the walls crunch but are not invasive, blasting or overbearing, and they offer a lot of room for his vocals to seep out of the tracks, filling them up like some kind of putrid sludge; the way he layers multiple vocal tracks, each fading in and out on their own times, it truly feels like being trapped in some giant labyrinth sewer system. i dont think any other gorewall, at least up until this point, has captured these feelings or similar ones quite as well.
but whats so mind blowing to me, as i currently write this, is that its only barely the first step in what seems to be a revolution within the gorenoise scene. this isnt full blown ANW yet, its arguably still very closely connected with the gorenoise of its time, unequivocally working within the "gore" framework (are you sensing a pattern about to emerge here?). discussing this would be a bit off topic, and whatever im going to say was already said better by nicethailand here, so if you'd like to know a bit more about the gorevolution going on underneath the rocks you walk past everyday, please give that a read.

its really nice how much chemistry jake and the girl have together even though they honestly dont give either enough time to be fully fleshed out, it really works. the opening scene of jake noticing everyone on the train feels like this really sweet humanization of everyone, we're all our own universes and we're all on our own trains to our own destinations. every life is worth something. thats why i think its okay that they dont really flesh anyone out, you dont need deep backstories to find it in your heart to care about someone :)

kind of transcends the wall scene in my opinion, TCP is just operating on a whole other level. by no means is this a static journey, but he works so slowly that every texture and change hits you like a massive wave, the duration washing over you until you get your footing before changing this again. phil also proves just how much hes mastered his noise, such evoking and perfect textures, a really great blend of deeper crunching ones and lighter buzzing ones, some liquid pulses and really distant scary screeches. the end of track 3 is amazing. sounds like a melody trying to break through.

just what i fucking needed after that. i can always count on dave to make my day more... bug
but the star of the show here is hasegawa's noise (and recording manipulation? or is dave doing that? idk...). shit is so eerie and works so perfectly with the cacophonous bug buzzing. the first 2 tracks are just the most amazing ever. im not as crazy about the slower last half but its still really good.

the last time i was here i was still close to you. i spent every class talking to you and playing chess with you. im back now but i cant share it with you anymore. im in the same rooms and the same buildings so the same neural pathways fire and go through the same mental motions to open my phone and tell you how my day is going but now all i have is your ghost on my screen and empty cavities in my heart. i feel scared, like im going through all of this alone. but i hope somewhere in the dense static of everything you can find your way through and youre watching me. i just wish i could see you too.
i really loved the second and third tracks. really visceral sounding. i love the cover art. this is also the 1000th wall ive rated. maybe in 20 more years ill beat lamo 3.5 |

Harsh Noise Wall sexual
aug24
and now 4 hour wall
but first what i did today: played a fun set with Daniel Ryan, Coach Campa and Princess Haultaine III. Daniel was supposed to play noisecore as "Testicular Necrosis" with someone else but i guess the plans fell through so he just ended up doing a solo set. he did great as always, shorter set than normal too. Campa's was interesting. Daniel also played in that because someone called out sick for it. Daniel and this guy Ernesto made noise - Daniel's signature glitching chopping (although at a much slower pace, about as "atmospheric" as you can get with that sound) and Ernesto's deep vibrating prepared guitar droning. the star of the show though was the drummer (who i guess is coach campa?). amazing technical proficiency and a real creative vision with his drum set. he brought plenty of big, small, warped or cracked cymbals and made good use of all of them: stacking/unstacking them, playing them ontop of the tom or snare, smacking them against each other, grinding different ones together, the whole shabang. really loved watching him. Haultaines set i was nervous for (apparently last time he played he ended up vomiting) but it wasnt THAT intense this time. he read off an essay he had written about the state of the world: police states, genocide, corruption, environmental collapse and human extinction, and did it over a soft looping wall before transitioning into what sounded like cut up junk metal noise? he had a huge setup which included a massive pot of various metal scraps. he also wore a fully sequined tuxedo which was wild. some fucking dumbass kept talking during the set to say how facts and real it was. SHUT UP BRO
this album was good though. i honestly could take or leave the first half, im just not that crazy about late era rita like that and its like fine its just like yeah im not gonna ever come back to it or think about it vibes. but the second half... some of his best wall work ever. lovely soft static perfect textures. calves II i believe features this beautiful phaser thing its so amazing one of the best wall tracks ever so sweet love

a bit disappointed! ive enjoyed everything ive heard from Kjostad up until now, and while this is certainly not bad, i gotta say it really missed the mark for me in a couple of spots. most of my problems are with the opening track. on top of the headaching higher frequencies it just isnt really all that compelling of a collage. the second track on the first side also does nothing to really capture my attention. this tapes saving grace however is the last two tracks; the first of which is just cathartic ocean wave noise barrage and the second explores interesting rhythms with bird song and some clever tension and release noise.

ehh... ah... erm... what the helk?
very different from the first one. it kind of feels like a star wars movie? lol. focuses less on exploring the matrix and instead builds the world outside of it. its weird to me that the culture of zion is so spoiler: click to read. the action sequences were also cranked up to like 12 in this and im not sure how i feel about that. on the one hand its just insane to make neo fight literally 200 people and that goes on for like 5+ minutes, major respect, but on the other they get so extravagant and longwinded that im actually kind of bored of them. this one is also weirdly more sexual (and not just because spoiler: click to read) which i wasnt a fan of. i like that the first one is kind of neutral about that stuff it just doesnt seem like something this series should really care about. im conflicted, but i also want to watch the third one before i decide on a rating because idk just feels wrong to rate this totally by itself

finally getting started on this matrix series stuff. been meaning to rewatch this for so long so i could watch the rest of them. this was also my girlfriends first time seeing it.
it doesnt make me feel anything like i cant really say i love this or im super attached to it but its undeniably good filmmaking. always fascinating story and they explore the world so well in this, answering just enough questions. idc waht greentop has to say i like keanu reeves. the cg is definitely old as fuck and takes me out of it sometimes but cmon this shitわ is so bad ass. and the insane action sequences where like a million things explode is really awesome.

Glitch, Harsh Noise Wall
aug24
and since ive been listening to things on physical these last few days, im in the mood to finally get around to this! Daniel was nice enough to gift me a copy last year when i was over at his house to record some stuff. i like the packaging, although its a real pain in the ass getting the cd case in and out of the plastic cover.
really creative for a "wall". honestly, it compositionally isnt at all like most walls, but i think the repeating crunch (i want to call it a motif honestly) kind of puts it in wall territory for me. its super cold feeling, and daniel works in these really dentist-sounding screeches and scrapes between some of the pulses of glitching static. because the sound of it all is so sterile and theres actually a surprising amount of noticeable silence between pulses (think of how atoms are mostly empty space) the changes in sound are very obvious, which is kind of cool. it lends it an almost live-show kind of feeling, you can really hear him work out different ideas and almost see him at his mixer slightly tweaking knobs until something happens, reverting back and starting all over again. the end was headache inducing but it was a cool outro i guess.

flipreplies convinced my ass to get work off early for these guys... ill never be able to repay him.
Nyctophagia played before SC. i cant remember who played before them though, we showed up right as they started. they were cool though. just like, very primitive silly grind but hearing it live always makes it more fun - id probably be bored listening to any of their studio stuff.
what was crazy was that Isaac played as their drummer right before he went on for SC. insane he was able to do two of these grind sets back to back and perform at 100% each time. hes seriously so crazy, tight as fuck and he has those damn intro fills on fucking lock. insane ping too, could probably just listen to him drum for an hour and i would be happy forever. the vocals for SC were cool, they used two mics, one was pitched down. interesting idea and it worked kinda well. a few of my buddies were complaining heavy ab the mixing which is true it sucked - the drums were so quiet compared to the guitars which just doesnt work at all for SC's music. we could actually make out the riffs which is nice but thats not really why we're there, you know?
got to meet him at the end and get a pic with him too, bought his tour exclusive tape and this gore cd ive been meaning to buy for some time now. great stuff, wish i brought a pen and my Chainsaws cd for him to sign. maybe next time |

the opening track is basically perfect - it reminds me exactly of the scene in The House That Jack Built when spoiler: click to read. so fucking cool. genuinely perfect texture too might be a 5 for that track if i really think about it. the second is definitely not as good but still fits really well with the theme and overall sound this goes for, its a good followup.
i ordered the cassette for this like 3 years ago when it was available and it literally never got shipped, maybe i should message them about that.

...which is unfortunate because daiba datta's side might just be the most beautiful harsh noise on this planet fucking earth. holy buttcheek. that track might bring the rating up i need to relisten asap

Harsh Noise, Power Electronics Radio Broadcast Recordings
aug25
yeah im sorry this was just really boring. im sure both sets were probably really fun to watch and play but as a listening experience it's especially difficult to get that kind of value out of these recordings. musyne plays around with some cool synth ideas, but in general the melodies and stuff that bookend more intense noise sections just feel kind of silly to me im not a fan of them. theres some spoken word as well that i don't enjoy, but the harsh vocals sound amazing most of the time. important hair's track features plenty of radio music which is a fun concept but kind of completely takes me out of it as im listening. i like when IH also does the harsh vocals they sound good.
overall though i just dont rly care ab this so much.

aug24
oopsies, writing these a day late... again...
i actually couldnt remember anything at all about this before i relistened to it. according to my original entry, "first track is pretty subtle, 2nd is nice and harsh, 3rd is kind of a midway point". that is true, though theres some important nuance here i think.
the first track definitely is subtle, its a quite booming ANW track with some light static and very heavy reverb textures throughout. its probably my least favorite here, but its not bad. the second track is a lot different though. still very reverb heavy but much more aggressive, sounds like a nightmare kind of and has this really weird spinning/nauseating effect (in a good way?). feels very gray to me. the last track is undoubtedly the best though. light crunching and static outline a very beautiful and calm recording of rain dropping, all over a large booming wall underneath. beautiful stuff
a bit of a mixed bag but theres probably something for everyone here.

a couple shows ago kim gave me this cd as a gift, how awesome!
my friend didnt like it, but i enjoyed it. its comfy. kind of feels like a digital Missing Girls, very stuttery and kind of quiet, i guess i can see how it might be annoying to someone who has not heard a lot of that but not me ☺️

Ambient Noise Wall Lowercase
aug24
played a noise show as a new group with Snailmouth and Daniel Ryan. we also played with Locations, Brain Sweat, Dead Fern and Kim Hopie (most of whom are not on this website! ill fix that eventually). Locations was really cool, they came in from Oakland and play this really insane brand of drone+improv with impeccable visuals. there is some projection on a screen of constantly shifting black globs with light reflecting off them and i think the animation is controlled by whatever they play? not sure. really powerful sounding droning and the woman in the duo was singing like crazy. Brain Sweat sounds like classic denton noise rock, really proficient drumming, simply and quirky basslines, a guitarist who spends the entire show turned away from the audience with an overpopulated pedalboard, and vocals that drone on and ‘defy conventions’! really loved their energy and the creativity they display in some of the songs. Dead Fern played a set on the floor, which i appreciated because i hate standing. samples running through a variety of pedals, though it came off less as a distorted wall of sound and more of like a droning, kind of psychedelic plunderphonics kind of thing. i wasnt super into it but i liked DF’s enthusiasm and setup. last but not least was Kim Hopie who but on a beautifully simple mixer+pedal noise barrage. sometimes less is more - only a small handful of pedals but she was able to pull so many dynamics and sounds out of her setup, super duper lovely and now i want to do a split with her :)
i listened to one track of this before the show and the other after.
insane quietness i had my shit cranked. awesome stuff though i love it sounds like metal moving around cracking sometimes in first track but track 2 texture just so nice made my ears feel so good after the show

i went over to my FRIENDS HOUSE and watched this with THEM. i ate HAWAIIAN BROS and drank a CANNED PEPSI. we also shared some CANDY.
wasnt really sure what to expect at all. going into this all i knew was that it was “post-digital”, some kind of scifi, and “had a character based on elliot rodgers and a dancing trump gif” in it.
i dont want to give anything away really but like, just story alone this is some serious rocktimecore love so much. love transcends everything theres something so much bigger than any life you could ever live happening right now vibes.
the editing. again i cant really give anything away but just fucking jaw dropping moments in here shitわ ive never seen before in my life.

writing this and listening to this a whole day late 😭 im so sorry it was bound to happen i guess. somehow just totally forgot it was wall wednesday yesterday fml
just picking something kind of short so i can get caught up on this. before relistening i didnt actually remember much of anything about this. its a good thing i put it on this list because its quite nice and worth remembering. same style and era as Yang Jia and A toute vapeur…, really intense crushing hi-production analogue stuff. theres some slight movement here and there; there is a piercing high tone that weaves its way in and out of the wall that is cool, sounds like shattering or something. not too much else to say. still holds up, its surprising how little people have heard this compared to À toute vapeur…
i like the cover as well.

fuck it one more PESTE NOIRE album for TODAY
i read in a review for the album that followed this that it calls back to it a lot and now that ive heard this yep i can see that. this introduces his “experiments” that i have continued to refer to across several of these PN entries now, which basically means he takes from french folk and martial music, mixing them with black metal, along with a variety of unique instruments and some different vocal styles - this is where our female vocalist audrey debuts (i think…)!
even though its got the same toolkit as l'ordure i still prefer that one. simply put: the mix just sucks on this. very muddy and doesnt let the guitars or unique vocals and instruments shine through like they do on l'ordure. plus his songwriting isnt as strong here. still, its a very very compelling black metal album. i can see why it did much better ratings-wise than its predecessor
3 |

Black Metal Avant-Garde Metal raw, dark, medieval, hateful, disturbing
jul24
very curious. even though he isnt doing anything “experimental” (for black metal) per se its cool how much he switched styles going from his debut to this. its basically a lot less depressive and theres a bigger emphasis on aggression and riffing i guess. its cool, and its a surprisingly easy listen given how many tracks there are, though that does make it tough to commit to memory any outstanding moments. i dont love the constant interludes but at least theyre creative

really good follow up to glioblastoma, pretty logical continuation of that sound though there is more obvious electronic elements and generally more noise. he also did not include a drone track with 5 minutes of silence which is definitely good, but i think i like this slightly less than glioblastoma, just the mixing on the drums and general intensity i prefer glioblastomas. still great though. please keep making gore 🙏 or at least get your fat ass puppy with leukoplakia affecting the mouth to

i fucked up waiting this long to hear this and im sorry about that yall.
just amazing stuff. like most people are saying its just like an entire unreleased album between untilted and quaristice - they even rework Pro Radii from the former and holy fuck is it good. i dont have much specifically to say - like with most AE it sort of unravels itself overtime with repeat listens, but i will say that this is very essential to anyone interested in their work. also tons of variety, feels like individual tracks rather than their newer lives which stand as kind of massive single pieces (not that either are better or worse, just an observation).

i was surprised how nice the guitars were. lots of good and beautiful melodies; hes got a real ear for those! i like the female vocals, not huge on the male ones though. i wish there was more variety in the songwriting and drums - they feel really uninspired

its fuckin vulgar vriday with bro so we had to lock in on the bay
i knew this would be good but i didnt realize how fucking good it would actually be. basically the most fully realized like logical conclusion of the michael bay vulgar identity - tons of insane fast paced editing and like every shot has really intense lighting and suspenseful camerawork, its like constantly running on all cylinders. and everything is just so overblown and overwhelming its so awesome. that description sounds like it might be annoying as fuck but theres a genuine degree of artistry to all of it - bay is very tasteful and he makes a lot of great decisions. i didnt even realize until the end that he was serious about it being a true story. i love the comedy too, shits funny as fuck and you just cant make a movie like this these days. i think the length is definitely its biggest flaw, maybe like 2 hours max but honestly it never really gets boring so. i love everyone calling this hopeless/misanthropic cinema because its true as fuck just funny that something with so much hatred for humanity looks like this

basically awesomest visuals ever. it totally went over my head that this had like any deeper elements than what it was on the surface; i kind of just assumed it was some like colonizer thing but the spoiler: click to read makes so much fuckin sense and makes it way more fire. i do wish the story was a bit more engaging but its hard to dislike this, some of NWR’s best lighting and editing. great scenes too. i dont love the long extended slow-mo scenes of like the dudes rolling around in the mud

girl friend and i wanted to go EXPERIENCE TWISTERS IN 4DX but we hadnt seen twister so we went home and watched it.
its a fine movie. it does basically exactly what you want a tornado movie to do. theres underlying romance and rivalry plots that i could live without but they dont ever get in the way. its honestly some inspo during the destruction scenes. i didnt know PSH was in this but i love him

went to ikea with my girlfriend today. i haven’t been in years; i used to go like once a month as a kid with my mom. it was fun but really tiring - its basically just walking around like an interactive exhibit for 2 hours.
we listened to this together though. i actually really liked it, i love how dynamic these songs are. they throw in and pull off plenty of cool ideas; say what you will, but theres an advantage to toning it down from bdm to just dm, i think you get a little more breathing room and in turn it lets riffs and parts actually stand out and have impact. thats not the case all the time but definitely in this instance. i personally think its still a bdm album though, its ridiculous how heavily its voted against here

its not bad by any means the compositions are cool and its a really unique blend of digital cutting up and live instrumenting (really it deserves a tape metal honorable mention) and the vocals are definitely cool sometimes. but holy fucking buttcheek bruh its just so boring. nothing goes anywhere and theres so many gay ass little melodic clean sections i just want this to go crazy and be abrasive but it almost never taps into that.

cosmic horror done right in my opinion. but thats honestly one thing garland is just amazing at. of course the third act is just insane, some of the most mind melting and beautiful cg ever and its all just dream logic nonsense. i loved the first two acts too though. the mystery and concept of the shimmer is really cool, and he explores the idea pretty well with lots of different visuals and creatures. love the like molding blooming crystalizing shitわ. the music at the end was hard to take seriously though but thats not his fault. everyone does a good job but fuck that stupid lesbian character i hate how she talks

i had no idea until after i listened that this was posthumous. the strength it must have taken Will to release the rest of her stuff… so damn sad.

seems pretty damn good on paper but a couple missteps really hurt it in the end. some commenters are right that the riffs are a bit disconnected and kinda just pasted together; the band does have a strong sense of progression and they know how to slowly evolve an idea but they struggle with the super longform i think. this is also really bogged down by the very long clean guitar sections. im curious about the rest of their discography though

not as bad as i remember!
a long time ago when i was just getting into music i downloaded some grindcore chart from mu and found this off of it. before relistening to it today, all i remember is that it opens up with someone vomiting and that it is very boring and slow paced.
well i was right about the intro, but i wouldnt call this totally boring, and it certainly isnt slow paced by any means (i guess i just wasnt mature enough for this kind of music yet!). in fact, its got quite a lot of energy and can definitely pack a punch at times. i think it suffers from the rather lengthy runtime - this would be perfect at 25-30 minutes - but they still make good use of it. great drumming, always fun riffs. the lyrics seem to be a point of contention though. kind of seems like everyones falling for the bait? regardless, theyre quite hateful and in turn powerful (or rather, they are delivered with power) so i think they fit quite nicely.
also, love love love the cover. probably the only reason i even came back to this

love love love the atmosphere/vibe on this. creates such a bleak but emotionally vulnerable picture; the field recordings are warm but always distant - they remind me of the first track off of Hell Driver. really soulful and warm walls too, i enjoy the variety of styles here; some tracks are pure wall while others jump around and are quite dynamic at times. its honestly such an engaging listen. the last track felt quite powerful in my opinion.

its a pretty mixed bag, but a good mixed bag i guess. some tracks stand out as really lovely or fun pop songs but im left feeling a bit underwhelmed by a lot of them. feels like some ideas are half baked, and there really isnt a good justification for this being 40 damn minutes, though i do respect the effort.

im a bit torn! on the one hand, this jumps around a whole lot making it hard to really get into songs, and he has this obnoxious habit of incorporating some seriously stupid electronic elements (like track 2 which contains a fucking REGGAETON). but on the other hand, hes undeniably such a talented songwriter; i really really love some of these riffs, and he utilizes both an eclectic instrumental pallet and all kinds of vocals (including some beautiful female vocals!) to create these really stunning and impressive epics of tracks.
im going to be coming back to this a bit over the next week or so for sure, but for now, ill let the score speak for itself.

very interesting. finds itself at a crossroads between noise rock, emoviolence, and noisecore (regarding its abrasiveness; compositionally its nothing close to noisecore). as you can imagine, the genre tags are a bit of a nightmare. the first two discs this compiles i enjoyed, these guys have a unique way of writing these kinds of songs, but once it gets into the experimental/improvisational third disc it loses me. too much bullshit for my tastes, but i suppose it marks a turning point in their sound before they went onto what they are more widely known for now.

this is my girlfriends favorite alesana album, and probably her favorite album ever as of right now. shes been asking me to check it out so top of the queue it goes.
its good, but i cant say its a very string album in terms of the rest of their discography. theyve basically totally moved into prog-emo territory, which has its strengths, one being that theres a lot of story they can tell, and i generally think they do a pretty good job at it here + i fw the concept, but its drawback is that every song kind of just flies by and there isnt a whole lot to latch onto? they still have catchy choruses but theyrd drowned out by the flurrying of different parts and ideas. i also think his voice is a bit weaker here than on past releases. they need to use the female vocals more! annabel is pretty fantastic though

my goats. theyre back. as fuck.
feels so great - such a maturation of theyre style and they dont miss a single beat here. theyve had plenty of opportunities to refine and master their songwriting abilities and it totally shows; lots of very rapidly evolving songs as per usual but theres a certain connecting thread that runs through all of them - it feels less like technicality and brutality for its own sake and more like real songs being composed and written because there is something to convey. these longer songs help to let ideas flourish and grow as well, it gives everything plenty of time to make its mark before moving onto something else. love love love the atmospheric sections, lets the guitar work really shine through. of course i love the drums too! bitch! and yes they fucking ping!!!
brutality is saved once again yall!

i will always and forever be more impressed and captivated by her amazing glitch+harsh noise output rather than her high production high concept death industrial. there are glimmering moments of that unique violence shes so great at that stick out between a lot of these quieter ambient sections that make this at least somewhat exciting to sit through, but im ultimately left mildly unsatisfied since they’re only a small portion of this whole thing. i like and dont like the inclusion of rock instrumentation here - sometimes it sounds like tape metal/燃えない灰 [Moenai Hai] and other times it feels like im just listening to some kind of inferior Mezzanine. and even though i cant find it in me to care too much for her death industrial compositions, they are at the very least beautiful and well crafted, so i can appreciate them still.

now for a wall that is completely different!
i actually… do not like this even close to as much as i originally did. which is a shame, because i tried to buy a CDr off of Necrotik Fissure like 2 years ago and he still hasnt sent it.
i think in general, now that ive grown up a bit, im very selective with NF’s walls as they can be quite cold, abrasive and digital, this one being no exception. the intense crunching doesnt strike me as cathartic as it once did, and i just cant overlook the dentist drilling high frequencies anymore, its both distracting and kind of unpleasant to be honest. i still think its a fine release, certainly worth checking out at least for its very accessible length, but theres probably dozens better Necrotik Fissure releases out there.

writing this a day late… woops!
somewhat of a classic these days, no? probably mostly due to the fact that it shows up in the HNW ultimate boxset, but also because it is really really good.
i completely forgot how much i love this release. the first track is hands down a top 10 wall song. i love the intro and the general progression of the entire piece; it has a very “live” quality to it. the texture - i dont even know how to begin to describe what the texture quite is - is perfect, i love how weirdly organic it sounds, the clipping aspects feel like its folding in on itself over and over again… so cool…
im not nearly as crazy about the second track, but its still good. its like this dark crunch on top of an insanely blown out bass. the bass was actually so intense i was starting to get a bit nauseous listening with headphones lol.

i was at home sick the other day, and i thought it would be the perfect time to lay down and listen to this. i just played this out of my speakers and closed my eyes and listened. its really relaxing. so meditative, balancing between being awake and drifting off to sleep made for a really fun listening experience. i found that sometimes when i’d get real tired i would lock in and focus on a looping section of a song, and it would become like my entire world, then i would reach the first stage of unconsciousness and it would disappear, waking me up like i had just fallen through the floor (in a very calm way?).
i really like the first and second tracks, especially track 2. perfect longing ambience, i love that theres this really micro textures you can just barely make out and try to pick up on during it. the last track feels a bit more somber, but is still good, just not as exciting to explore as the first two.

my girlfriend really wanted to watch this with me, so we finally sat down and got through it over a few days. its surprisingly tolerable; a very easy show to sit down and watch. i really like some of the mystery and how they set everything up, but they kind of have a hard time delivering with the solutions. theres also like a lot of plotholes that bothered me and are not very realistic. first of all, cockroaches would definitely not evolve that far in only 200 years, second of all there is no fucking way that a ferris wheel would still be standing that close to the ocean for 200 years. also most of the actors suck, and the cast is just insane! if you could tv nerdle this you could play twin peaks, the IT crowd, saw 1, hannah montana, the list goes on! |

something ive been hesitant to tap into for a very long time. thanks for the push, fuckcomments.
didnt know at all what to expect but this was fucking fire as hell. love the crescendo. when the noise first comes in it kind of scared me. the drums are just insane pounding driving and just like the entire last half of this is ridiculous. idk its hard to put into words but its so elevating when every element comes together finally. i dont have a lot to say, its very cathartic, go listen to it.

jul24
i randomly had the urge to revisit 17776 this last week or so, and ive been just kind of reading through it whenever i got the chance. i got sick yesterday, small cold, and i found out that the sequel for 17776 had already come out, so i spent the entire day reading through it.
its a really amazing sequel. picks the pace up right where we left off; i will never stop being amazed at these insane 'experimental' football games that Bois is able to come up with. its a fascinated blending of american culture and science fiction. hes great at creating these worlds that beg so many questions but he only ever throws us a few bones. im always both immersed and impressed. he pulls a lot of emotion out of this story, too. i dont know if its more emotional than '76, but it feels a lot more hopeful and optimistic. in '76 it felt like we were kind of hopeless grappling with this horrible curse of immortality - Bois explores the existentialism of that kind of future - but the tone of '20 seems a lot more romantic and life affirming. we have all of this time to live and love and play sports. Nick and Manny's relationship is really great, and the spoiler: click to read was just plain awesome. so fucking cool.
idk if i could id rate it like a 4 or 4.5 |

yeah.... disappointing. like most reviews are saying its got great marketing but it doesnt live up to the hype. could go on for hours about my problems with this but it just boils down to the fact that they need to turn everything down by a couple notches. the editing, the score, the acting, even the fucking story just gets so ridiculous and dumb its hard to take it seriously. i love that nicolas cage was like doing a stealth role kind of here i guess but he actually ends up totally ruining this movie with what little screen time he gets. god damn that last scene just... the worst aftertaste ever. i really enjoyed the first part, i thought the mystery and setup was great, contrary to what my buddies were saying i actually liked how it looked! and i like the mixed media little montages we get sometimes. i thought the spoiler: click to read was cool, but again they just push it too far. also damn.,.. this wasnt scary at all. idk what yall are on about.

undeniably better than their debut. really, im just glad ozzy ditched the damn harmonica. guitars and drums sound way better, and i suppose the vocals do too. the riffing feels like its stepped up a level, perhaps at this point they’d honed in the skills they’d need specifically to write these kinds of songs. i thought the caravan song was cool, but pretty boring. i agree with some other reviewers that the second half isnt as good as the first. i dont like the cover art, it wouldve been redeemed had they stuck with the “War Pigs” title.

really honestly off putting at first - the super super digital texture is like really alienating, my body kind of wants to feel cold but its so blinding and burning intense its like a weird new warmth. so cool hearing how elements evolve to reveal themselves as others fade out and you can kind of make some sense out of it. cant expect this will be super popular though with some other wallers but what do i know

ive been dying to dig into Harshnoise‘s releases, so i figured today is a good day to revisit this one!
originally i may have been too dismissive of this. its kind of in the same vein as Sea Wolf Leviathan, in terms of theme and style, though i would say this is much closer to wall territory. there seems to usually be a constant rumbling crunching that underlines the more dynamic mid-high range textures. lots of tossing and turning; if youre familiar with Sea Wolf you know what to expect, though its much calmer. rather than a hurricane it feels a bit like a thunderstorm… the second track is really where this kind of atmosphere shines through. it has these longer, but quickly fleeting, sludging moments that feel like just looking up at the night black sky and letting the weight of everything crush you forever. really great stuff.

its just that time in my life where i need to stop foolin around and listen to some damn black sabbath. i never knew ozzy was in this band, or that they were so affiliated with Dio, so thats cool. im really not crazy at all about psych stuff so i could live without that giant overbearing influence on this, but it still manages to be fun and innovative. my biggest takeaway was the drumming though. really cool to see how this weird mesh of jazz and rock and the inklings of metal-style drums come together; sounds super unique.
i dont know for sure if its the exact same tracks, but i listened to the 2014 remaster which lists different titles, but as far as i can tell is the same audio.

a long time ago, probably 6, 7 or 8 years ago at this point, i was recommended Watermusic II on youtube for some reason. for some reason the artwork in that video has always stuck with me.
its decent. its about exactly what you would expect. i didnt listen to the split up sections, didnt seem right since it was intended originally as one longform piece. i think if you arent totally relaxed this is kind of hard to get into, but in the right setting its perfect. i should listen to more of his stuff.

the biggest crime this record is guilty of is simply being misguided. and also very boring, but you could argue that that is just a consequence of the former.
i dont fully know the story of how this album came to be, but i do know that metallica were in a very strange transitional period of their careers. St. Anger seems to be all about exploring new ideas, trying different things and experimenting with different sounds. i actually love the drums here, the snare has some immaculate ping and they sound great in this mix. i do wish the guitars were louder, but im guessing thats another stylistic choice. i really dont like hetfields vocals. perhaps its also a consequence of the mix, or just that he is no longer a strong vocalist, i dont know, but he rarely puts on a convincing performance. "My World" and "Shoot Me Again" are exceptions though. the lyrics are definitely... weird... sometimes. but it feels like theres a genuine attempt being made. and thats really where most of the score comes from, for me. its a respectable effort, i cant imagine any other band in their positions trying to put something out that was this abrasive and nonconforming. i respect the fact that they decided to experiment and commit to something totally different rather than continue to derive and derive from old formulas or seek out new trends to stay relevant. unfortunately though this is, like i said earlier, really fucking boring. mainly because songs are just so long, but i also dont think the mixing helps with this. it never feels like theres a whole lot to truly grab your attention or captivate you, and so for a majority of the run time im just kind of waiting for songs to move on to the next idea or end altogether. a fatter mix couldve brought out some of the heavier elements, which i wouldve appreciated more, but again that was probably a stylistic choice. maybe i should watch the doc.

since my early days on the rim ive always been a smiths hater never really got them beyond There is A Light... (which is definitely a great song); a long time ago i listened to The Queen Is Dead and hated it, so i never really gave them a chance.
i heard a snippet of Please Please Please... the other day and i had just checked this album out since nicethailand gave it a 3.5; seeing that its all live stuff made me a bit hopeful - perhaps it was all the unnecessary studio additions that hurt their music for me to begin with. well i dont know if thats the case, but it doesnt matter cuz this shit is awesome. just so lovely. hes an amazing lyricist its really no contest and i love the confessional guitar writing. for a bunch of live performances, these all sound impeccably mixed - very good quality. theres a few duds that kind of drag on at times (How Soon is Now, for example) but theres enough replayable material that it doesnt really matter.

finally getting around to this. too long in my musicbee.
its good. kind of interesting idea for a “split”, having a wall side and noise side. AIYTC’s first track was great, but the other two i wouldnt say are anything special. a bit buzzing. vomir of course steals the show, no doubt about that. torturing nurse’s track is insane - kind of felt like that Dealey Plaza set i played; very Incapacitants/BLJ massive incomprehensible blob of all sorts of noise happening all at once, so many dynamics theres none. cool shitわ. govt alpha’s tracks are fine, they arent as intense as TN’s but are mixed at the same level. i liked the second one more.

got off work early today to go play/see a noise show with my friend. i was part of the closing act; we played with Injured: pretty mid like worthless improv noise and Uncanny spoken word stuff with it, idk it was just lame and was the only set where i questioned how old everyone involved in was, Rob Buttrum: whose set was actually really strong to begin with, lots of super spectacular tape collage stuff reminded me exactly of dave phillips, but for some fucking reason dude had 808 cowbells and trap beats playing underneath it - i will never understand how ideas like this even make it onto the floor in noise music, Ingram: pretty cool shitわ, resonating bass drum on monitor and he was swinging around these massive rock-filled jugs, very cool performance art vibes, and Dromez: had a lackluster performance but it sounded great - good distorted harsh noise vocal set. i played in Dealey Plaza, which is about 6 or 7 different people at any given time, including but not limited to the talented minds of Total Sweetheart, Big Hole and Daniel Ryan. it was an honor playing with them.
this dave phillips album is pretty mid tho. generally just some of his more mediocre collages and efforts plus he incorporates lots of rhythm stuff (theres even a like, “death metal” track?) which just leave sour tastes in my mouth honestly. he has way more convincing and effective releases, i dont really see why you’d ever come back to this unless youre Velocifish for some reason.

like all the reviews are saying, this kinda sucks. but its nice i guess. theres passion and some real potential (which of course comes to fruition on their followup to this), they just dont know how to capitalize on it quite yet. especially with the vocals, theres a distinct lack of dimension to them; he hasnt yet perfected his singing and theres no interplay between the clean and screamed vocal lines. his lyricism i also thought was kind of subpar here, compared to Collapse. the mix is kind of shitty but i love the guitars here.

i think i saved this because i listened to Halfway to a Threeway a long time ago and saw their drummer was on it. this album looked interesting.
its definitely unique and creative. lots of really cool ideas and some stellar execution, even though i dont love their style (or this kind of country-infused alt rock). beautiful guitar playing on a couple tracks where they focus on shredding, and its cool that a band this big is so tapped into experimental rock stuff like this. the drone track is respectable, though boring.
its a good counterexample to anyone saying rock died after the 90s.

just. so fucking amazing. perfect found footage horror. despite what many users will tell you, that first hour is actually goated as fuck. such lovely pov voyeur filming, just like so sincere and emotional camerawork, absolutely love his obsession with small details and nature. theres never any explaining or linear story per say, just clips of life happening, earthquakes and birthday gifts. of course star of the show though is card 3. the switch is just insane, no hesitation going right into the cosmic madness fuckhole shitわ. there are times when the camera is no longer capturing anything, not just a pitch black shot but genuinely no information, and my tv screen looked like it was just turned off; seeing that and still hearing all of the infinite gore and squelching slicing wrecking havoc felt genuinely transcendental. just some jaw on the floor movie magic shitわ. of course plenty of wildly creative and manic scenes, along with plenty of surprisingly deep emotional ones. fucking love this shitわ so much

NGL! the vampire history revision angle is super cool though, and the prologue on the ship is really eerie and i love the 80s cg lol. light effects are beautiful as fuck too. also like the whole male-gaze exploitation angle yadda yadda theres better reviews than mine that touch on that more.

depressing as fuck. that first track… dude… so sad. so lonely. second track is most beautiful minimal improv ever. just playing and feeling every note. the elephant in the room is the third track, which i definitely found to be annoying at first. i can appreciate it though, in hindsight it was pretty effective at just bogging down my mood and reinforcing that real depressive atmosphere, but i seriously doubt id ever listen to it again. the last two tracks are more piano improv, the first of which is very outsider and difficult to engage with, mostly because its closer to EAI territory so the textures are much harsher, but also because for some reason its only in the fucking left ear? i might actually download this later and just make that shitわ mono lol. the last one is even more minimal than track 2, still beautiful though.
i think ultimately juntaro’s challenging approach to this stuff kind of holds it back for me, but no doubt is he able to tap into some real the pression shitわ here. rogue17’s review sums it up pretty well, even if their experience with challenging music seems to be limited.

last wall today is a rec from lamo. thanks lamo! this was pretty good, though i dont think i agree with lamo entirely on the tracks. i really love HH’s side, perfect intense wall with lots of subtle dynamics and motion, feels very hazy trying to pinpoint it or pay close attention which lends to its hypnotic feeling. vilgoc’s is also hypnotic, but not quite in the same way. i wasnt actually feeling their side at first, its a very digital feeling texture which kind of turned me away, but the longer it went on the more i kind of became entranced i guess lol, it ends up being very soothing and relaxing i think. i still think HH’s side is better though, which is where lamo and i disagree 😁

kicking off july with a… “classic”… of sorts.
dont get me wrong, its great. really masterfully executed, sounds exactly how its packaged. feels like the intense pressure and exhaustion of really scaling a mountain and feeling the violent wind changing in every direction knocking you off your path. theres a really lovely quiet section around the middle before it gets right back into the piercing cold turbulence and violent thrashing. BUT… its just not HNW. there are definitely wall elements, in fact i think towards the end of the first and beginning of the second half hes really tapping into some wall noise, but this is just way too dynamic to call it a “wall album”. i think it just looks good as one - my past self being part of the genre vote’s problem - its the perfect longform harsh noise you’d love to see high up on a chart.
still though, i think its got some grounds to stand in the wall sphere, at least on the borders of it. if i were to make a Guide To Wall Music list, this would probably be right at the beginning as a good introduction into the idea of very longform, sometimes slow moving noise.

this has been in the queue for far too long, probably since i made my rym account.
first off this is not noisecore, at least not primary. if anyone here interested in keeping the noisecore charts trve then i suggest you tap in and vote.
second off this is just like majorly boring for no reason. these guys have the perfect format and vision but they dillydally and jack off way too much or like idk they just make wrong decisions and its hella unsatisfying. oh yeah lets end this with a 10 minute loop of wind blowing. assholes

kind of surprising no one has rated this yet lol. vomirs track is good kind of digital crunch which is interesting. never heard of giffoni but his track is interesting its droning and some weird pulsing. idk this dude at work made me watch an entire chapelle show episode while i was listening so i should probably relisten to it later

first track is basically the awesomest shitわ ever her vocals are just so insane so awesome, no idea how she does that for more than 2 minutes. second one is kind of boring af though she just mutters and it kind of wanders around aimlessly but they bring it back with a good last track, which is just live recording quality of the first track.

you either fucking love it or you aint gang like that. its just mature diary i guess, they play it pretty true to its original form but there are certain flourishes - notably in the drums - that give an extra exciting feeling to it. his vocals still sound great, obviously very different but he kills every track here. shit was honestly making me emotional i forgot how much i love this damn band.

not really a whole lot of quality control here, its basically a grab bag of japanoise names and either some mediocre or kind of good output from them. merzbow is the exception though, his track here is genuinely amazing; even though it starts off kind of mid with some samplezbow it picks up quick and ends on such a high note. other notable tracks were masonna's and monde bruits'.

way overhated lol. its just a regular country song about a guy whos worried the times are changing; people make it seem like hes throwing around buzzwords and calling out specifics but hes honestly pretty vague about everything here, its really inoffensive imo. seems like all the hate is just because most people here are left leaning and this guys pretty clearly ignorantly conservative, whatever. SummerJack's review seems to be the only review ive seen that tries to actually engage with this song.

im still kinda collecting my thoughts on this but im running a bit behind on these entries so im just gonna do this one now anyway and if its mid then its mid
went and saw this with my friend and my gf. my second lanthimos, im only familiar with Sacred Deer. still though its kind of in-line with what i was expecting: a lot of uncanny and offbeat characters, very weirdly high-concept plots? and plenty of dark twists with and themes! im not really big on his style still, its fine its just like… seems indecipherable sometimes can never tell what hes trying to say but maybe thats just my end. i liked the themes of obsession and how our experiences echo through us, but i think i left feeling kinda unsatisfied or unimpressed. itll be something i think about for some time. the emma stone dancing scene was kinda gay good song tho

always so strange seeing the oldheads hating on this stuff. you have to be so far up your own ass to dog on something like this that hard - “uhh its just not deep… theres too many breakdowns…” its called fun bro. it aint nothin new.
its good though. obviously pretty braindead but they know how to break it down. vocals are decent, i was kind of wanting more out of the drums though, but i guess theyre passable. intro to smoke was fire

ive been meaning to sit down and just watch this shitわ for like a year now but literally every minute i forget about it. well finally my ass found the time to turn it on, it was actually my girlfriend that suggested we watch it since her friends were talking to her about it, so thanks yall!
its definitely riding that line of like almost annoying and almost too internet humour for me, but tbh i think theyre quite tasteful with how they do absurd or slapstick or like cringe comedy stuff. it usually lands pretty well. i love the animation too, i like that its kind of mixed media and theres a ton of different forms of bodies but like they dont acknowledge it in universe really. i like charlie. the last episode was so stupid that i almost fw it |

last wall to cap today off with.
i get the impression that this (but for some reason not Quarantine A-OK?) isnt so well received… for some reason (2.9 vs a 3.06, “trend wall”?!). never got that. its good, usual vomir stuff, though it sounds much better produced than his older work (maybe its because im not listening to some cassette rip? not sure). theres a higher piercing tone in here too, i can understand if someone didnt like that i suppose. i dont know. i like the cover art too, i wish i got a CD when they were in stock. im always late to that kind of thing.

Anything That Moves

amazingly, i read this in literally a week! go me!
i kind of went into it blind, i knew it was gonna be some biography type deal but boy was i really not expecting a complete encyclopedia of jamie stewarts sex life. a pleasant surprise though; i actually really loved this! i really love how he writes, he blends in very obvious sarcasms that you dont really pick up on until he hyperbolizes the fuck out of them right at the ends of sentences or paragraphs, and hes got a fantastic way of describing feelings with physical metaphors (for instance, during one sexual encounter he describes as “the windows and walls caving and bending inward” of something to that effect). while he sketches a very gross, pathetic, disappointing and depraved world hes actually quite skilled at painting it all in a hopeful, bittersweet and sincere way. i love his honesty and how in-tune he is with himself and his own feelings. its also fun to pick up on little trivia here and there about the band that he drops in nuggets throughout the book. the last chapter was amazing. i wont spoil anything, but if youre still on the fence about this i would say do it just to read that chapter. devastating. thanks for bringing my attention to this book, taylor

Ambient Noise Wall

well, wall wednesday cant be all kicks and giggles i guess. i know i dont like this, and i didnt think i would again, but its important to me that i validate that just to be sure.
yeah this kind of sucks. the actual wall sections are great, of course they only last about 30 or less seconds, though. thats kind of the real glaring problem with this: the concept just is not good. tape hiss: yes. missing girls anw: yes. alternating both? its just bad anti-art. more of an idea than something you would ever want to listen to. i cant imagine how disappointing this probably was for someone who had bought it after hearing 1 lol. there are just some concepts that arent worth exploring, let alone publishing.

hopefully this week we can get through more than just one wall!
for some reason this release always struck me as a popular classic. seeing now that only 8 people have rated it (AND NOT LAMO?! WTF?!), im reevaluating my stance... but maybe its because it is actually really great! perfect and pure walls, PL makes use of very analogue and deep textures. the first track, which could place somewhere in my top something wall tracks of all time, is nothing shy of amazing. perfect wide crushing texture - feels exactly like the title. the second track im less crazy about, but i still enjoy. its a much higher frequency on top of that super wide sound. its pretty good, but doesnt strike me as intensely as the first track.

shave made me download this to send to him and its been in my peripheral since it came out so you know why not.
a lot more um… erm… small? than i expected? does that make sense? i thought this would be pretty blown out distortion but i guess im not as familiar with jamie’s noise as i should be. its very quiet (relatively) at times, and theres quite a lot of smaller buzzing sounds, quick loops, metallic and fringe percussive sounds. sometimes feels like a group of 5 or so insects flying around you. its honestly all quite satisfying, i love how jamie plays with and explores these sounds - theres a really great sense of progression and demonstration here. wouldve loved to hear this live

just ridiculous. its like they just left a microphone infront of an amp and let it feedback unsupervised for an hour. and then did that like 5 times. and then they brought out the drum kit and just lost it. while im actually quite hesitant to say i totally enjoyed that first track (mostly because nothing really happens?) i have to be honest, the last two tracks are just balls to the wall batshit insane. so fucking violent. felt my body leave earth during the last one when theyre just pounding away at that rhythm. sucks that i dont love the first track that much.

the infamous bread collection. you know, coming back to this after having originally heard it in 2019 (five fucking years ago. wow) its actually not as bad as i remember. really its just stupid. and boring. very very boring. and pretty stupid. "Anne Frank" did get a chuckle out of me, ill admit. you know maybe if you cut out all the NMH references and the strange experimental rock shit, and just left the grind-jazz sections in tact, this might actually have some potential.
its not terrible enough for the elusive 1.5 i originally gave it, so into the 2 club you go. maybe in another decade i might actually love this. |

obviously taken from nicethailands ratings.
at first i was a bit on the fence. its definitely really interesting… theres a lot of looping and lingering on ideas… it feels weirdly meditative, and that kind of works to build the depressive atmosphere its going for. i also really like how intricately made these songs are, theres always action happening independently in both channels, and theres a surprising amount of melodic ambience too. im not super crazy about the laptop glitching noise, it sometimes sounds very… audacity… but i dont think that necessarily holds it back. i did end up really enjoying this though, and man that last track… so good.

this is pretty good though. a real strong opening run of tracks, and he closes out on one of my favs from him ever. was kind of let down in the mid-section, not that anything there is bad but i just wasnt in love with it, some real basic production and not really a whole lot of presence from xav. i do like the very laidback and relaxed vibe of this though, super easy listen. also good cover art, which ive found is a bit uncommon in his discog.

not even sure what this is anymore lmao. theres some really great free metal inspired drumming in the beginning but it fades out pretty fast and the whole thing just turns into this wild electronic pulsing wave. he said it was gonna be more noise than metal this time but like its not even straight up noise, genuinely dont know what this is lol. but its fucking awesome as fuck. very abstract.

thanks nicethailand for bringing my attention to this and sending me the rip :D
listening to this as a full length official ass album this shit would probably be the best gorenoise release of all time, undoubtedly best gorewall ever. its crazy how locked in he is for these worthless splits and comps, besides the sometimes varying volume quality these are all perfect collected together. shortest hour of my life too

so fucking good. probably the peak of shortform gorewall stuff (i think gonoccocus does longform better but they are both awesome). perfect fuzz crumpling textures - listening to this in my car was wild being able to hear the kicks. not sure how much i prefer this to Hydroencephalocystocele, i like the snares that sputter out at the end of tracks there, but this has its own merit; its way more tapped into the wall idea.

watched with bro. honestly so boring. the opening was fun and awesome i liked that but then its just like the most tedious and worthless characters doing stuff in the world. yes lynch is a great filmmaker so obviously like, theres not really any "bad" scenes, his characters are always interesting and i enjoyed the weird alien camera work here, love his humour and you know like i said theres just not really anything bad about it i just cant even bring myself to care about 2/3rds of this movie. so bored. it feels like there is this similar attitude towards this movie as some people have to "campy" movies or "so bad its good" mentality. like it just doesnt make sense! the cowboy is so weird! LYNCH IS A GENIUS!!! ONLY LYNCH COULD THINK OF THE TRASH GOBLIN!!! beautiful af ending amazing editing powerful stuff the silencio part was some intense too

rewatched this with my girlfriend after we made some yummy as fuck enchiladas. fuck my life they were so good i need more
first time watching this was like 2018 or 2019 and i remember it being like my fav movie of all time (though at this time i didnt watch movies or even really think about them, so that didnt really mean much). i can see why this might be a young rocktimes favorite though, its a pretty damn good movie, really great characters, a story that is both easy to enjoy on the surface and rewarding to analyze deeper, and i just thought it was so fucking cool that there wasnt a soundtrack. i thought that shitわ was experimental as fuck.
and dont get me wrong, its a great movie, all those things are true, but thats kind of… all it has going for it? like i really cant connect with it any deeper than i already do and theres nothing in here that like transcends itself - its good because its just a good movie.

i was thinking to myself as i listened to this…
its comes down to something i appreciate more in concept rather than execution. 5 minutes of jittering stuttering glitches per track, in looping but sometimes tripping-on-itself fashion, the idea is disorientation through repetition. sure, but i just cant get into any of these tracks, they are either bordering on grating or just straight up uninteresting…

Harsh Noise Wall Ambient Noise Wall noisy, cold, dissonant, dense, ominous
jun24
junes third wall wednesday starts off with some Train Cemetery.
originally the release that made me fall in love with TC's music, returning to this im left a bit disappointed. i still really love this, but im not as into it as i remember being. the textures are much more mechanical, metallic and rusted compared to a vast majority of TC's output - its not quite as meditative and deep as i remembered. thats on me, though. the music here is really quite impeccable - trademark of Pakhomov's work every track is meticulously and beautifully crafted. plenty of low, rumbling, breathing bass textures coupled with much higher clanking, rustling or clattering voices. some of my favorite TC releases (Ira, All Alone, Damno) push this sound into more organic-feeling territories. often im reminded of fire crackling. Slough, though, is uncharacteristically cold and sturdy. it builds a vast and depressing industrial kind of atmosphere, in my opinion. "II" features this sort of metallic clanking - very alien sounding possibly due to the flanging processing; my only note i wrote for "IV" was, "glorious industrial nightmare". do with that what you will. the obvious exception though is "III", which is more in line with the "organic" ANW of much of the rest of his discography; beautiful liquid insect buzzing begins to fill the track as it goes on; even though it stands out here i think it still fits the theme and vibe that every other track has. there's also a noticeable dynamic nature to a lot of these songs, textures weave in and out, Pakhomov slowly introduces ideas or works to strip down some of the walls - adding to the very isolated and cold feeling this album works towards. the shining example here is the first track: past the halfway mark its seat belts off as it begins to churn through various different movements before sputtering out into silence at the very end.

a more hopeful and positive entry to the series. still plenty of crushing and definitely sad or lonely stories, but this project was always about empowerment through suffering so i get it.
no doubt the weakest one, but just like the other two it simultaneously leaves me wanting more and feeling satisfied. the industrial electronic influence feels rather foreground on this release as well, which is both distracting to me and nice to see how well she’s been able to hone in her skills in regards to that kind of music. the interview in “let me collapse” was pretty depressing i think.

genuinely appreciate how much noise this packs. i really just dont like noise meets hardcore edm that much most examples of it are pretty gay but he kind of has the electronic elements take a backseat and the noise really speaks for itself as a voice rather than a supporting tool. speaking of that: i love the vocals. so bonkers.

its about time i returned to himukalt’s stuff. been over 2 years since i heard Sex Worker, and i saw that she had a split that came out this year that seemed promising, so its himukalt week for me. tuesday
much like the first one, while i enjoyed the album and even found it to be quite well crafted, im left wholly unimpressed. Himukalt sadly falls into the same pitfalls that a lot of death industrial artists fall into, and for a handful of these tracks fails to hold my attention and interest for very long. no doubt there are exciting moments - the entire first track is kind of one of the best PE songs ever, and “Limitless…” is really chilling - it just feels meandering in terms of audio composition. message wise though this is still quite strong and elucidating

goregrindy gorenoise! while this demo improves on a lot of what the first demo was lacking it also falls behind in an equal amount of aspects. the decision to lean further into goregrind really puts an emphasis on the songwriting (which flystrike is not the greatest at - yet) and also leaves more to be desired in terms of experimentation. still though this is rather decent grinding material, so ill stick around to see what else they come up with.

honestly? dont really get how this is like the most poorly received one in the series, theres a strong sense of style with a story that not only feels like a natural continuation of this timeline but actually plays out pretty well (for the most part). a healthy amount of gore, it also doesnt shy away at all from some very excessive violence. theres a weird acab angle it plays at (imo), but i dont really feel like analyzing that so ill leave that to you for homework. wholesome? the trey songz listening to trey songz killed me. and why does that one dude look so fucking lesbian

Harsh Noise Wall minimalistic, noisy, repetitive, infernal, dense
jun24
cant overstate how important this release is to me. basically catapulted me into wall music, really the first wall album i even took seriously. obviously longer, more expansive and even harsher wall releases exist, but in my mind Claustration stands tall and mighty over the entirety of the genre. no other release feels as pure and true to its mission; perhaps Vomir's own beliefs on wall music play a part in this. in my original review of this i discuss it with some real-world art analogies, and then i compare it to basically the entire universe. i still think there is some merit to that kind of discussion, but whats always been so mind boggling to me is that there is literally no way to talk about this. it exists as a purely nihilistic monolith, there is no deeper value or metatext to pull from. no analysis. nothing. no emotion, no beginning or ending, its just nothing. i cant think of any art in this world that so accurately captures... nothing. it sticks out to me as Vomir's opus also because of the inclusion of bonus material. not only that, but the original release of this also included a vomir shirt, vomir sticker, and vomir fucking pin! it just feels so resoundingly official to me, a signifying milestone in his career up until that point: "here is my biggest statement". what im getting at is that its more thant just wall music. it feels like a flag pole in the ground to me.
all that aside though, this is just also like the best sounding wall album ever. ill always enjoy a Vomir track because you know no evolution no change theyre all really very similar, these selections are no different, so instead of raving about individual textures and how they stand out against Vomir's total output, i'd like to instead talk about how they fit in with it; what makes this album sound so good is just what Vomir's approach is. the entirely analogue set up gives his music a very satisfying smoothness and dirty, kind of lo-fi atmosphere. take someone like Necrotik Fissure, whose walls i would describe as very sharp, processed, and cold; Vomir's feel... almost warm? maybe warm isnt the right word - whatever warmth you might get from being buried in dirt. i guess id have to describe it as a soothing kind of hiss - a very harsh hiss - but not too harsh that it feels outwardly angry or desolate. he's also able to capture a huge range of the frequency spectrum: turning it up yields distant and faint higher frequencies, sharpening the wall, and listening on better speakers reveals the breadth of the lower, deeply rumbling bass frequencies that totally enthrall you.
anyway though, Claustration isnt the point im trying to make here: pick any Vomir album, whichever is your preferred runtime, your favorite cover, your favorite title (if it has one), its the same experience. thats what Vomir promises - its what makes his music so special to me. no other artist in this world comes close. i know in my heart that no matter where i go or when i am, i can always come back to his walls and they'll scratch the exact same itch in me. timeless as fuck
I: 5 spoiler: click to read II: 4.5 spoiler: click to read III: 5 spoiler: click to read IV: 5 spoiler: click to read V: spoiler: click to read as for the bonus material: its decent. “Meurs” is a really intense with some slightly dynamic elements that appear throughout, the “Sans Cesse…” excerpts are little harsh noise snippets that sound like they happen from across a warehouse, and that sound kind of continues onto the next two untitled tracks; these kind of dabble in power electronics? its really just vomir yelling into a mic and its blown out completely, fun one time around i guess but theres really no replay-ability in these clips.

accidentally watched this before 3D but its a prequel anyway so thats fine.
hard to overstate how stupid this is. and just so unnecessary. why did leatherface even need this kind of a background story? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning did a much better job with this and it hardly tried to flesh him out! /pos! every event that happens and every character just feel totally worthless. how does one woman even cause a breakout that big in an asylum?
i will say though that there are a few very well done super gore-y or just straight up disgusting scenes that i really liked the visuals of. main girl does the best job here, bud in close second.

really cool, not very good but its definitely cool. surprising how groovy it is, but i guess that does actually make sense. i thought itd be a bit more random and spastic. sounds like a live show recording since its got like layers of white noise on top of it.

well i was listening to each track until someone pointed out to me they may be duplicates per artist so i checked it out and they are except they are quieter and sped up? idfk :sob:
insurgent's track is really awesome, most dynamic anw ever, he plays around a lot with delay it sounds cool. un's is pretty straightforward its good but definitely the worst here. missing girls classic kino crackle sounds very comfy, one of his densest tracks too

a prequel to the remake of the original... from a different director?
they nailed the visuals, but ultimately it feels less like a prequel and more like a reinvention of the same movie i've been watching for the past week. besides the fact that unc gets some lore, this really could be its own movie if the remake didnt exist. for some reason this also doesnt include the entire other side of the family that we see in the remake? with the buzzcut girl and the outdoor boy. leatherface basically does what he has always done except this time its treated as his "first ever" milestones so theyre special. props to them for actually cranking the gore up though.

had to listen to this over the course of like 3 days gf hated this shitわ 💀
its pretty stupid a lot of the time but honestly i giggled and smiled a lot. he definitely pushes it a little too far sometimes, i guess thats his style though. the instrumentals also sound great whoever produced this good job. girls are the best is ok theres some funny lines it also weirdly feels like some anti feminist idk what his goal was with it. my life is the worst is a similar vibe verses sound exactly like mcr rough mixes. ugliest girl best chorus, second half always kills me. yall already know how i feel about planet of the bass. crucial life lessons seems like it wouldnt be as funny as it is. last 3 are kind of worthless bar some chuckleable lines here and there

same label that dropped I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, Waiting, The An Albatross Family Album, and Nuclear. Sad. Nuclear.?! i had to give it a chance!
its pretty interesting. very unique vision, dark cabaret meets emo-tinged post-hardcore, and it works for the most part. the real downside of this is just the lack of identity a lot of songs have, maybe relistens or just investigating individual tracks might be more rewarding, but whats paradoxical about it is that it feels like such an album experience. idk. hes got a good voice, im confused by people saying they hate it.

jun24
well. its definitely better than the last 3 movies!
i guess ill get the negatives out of the way real quick, cuz i definitely had my problems with this.
for one, theres just way too much gross misogynist slop for me not to mention it. real unnecessary and like, you dont need to make these dudes predators to make them more evil. they already eat people bro. i also cant stand how a lot of these daytime outdoor scenes look, good lord it looks like the cheapest music video ever, so flat too. its a bit silly in a couple places too, and its length doesnt give nearly enough time to make expanding the family super rewarding. a lot of family members kind of just have one or two really key scenes and then dont exist for the rest of the movie? im not crazy about the soundtrack, it sounds fine but its got that real cheesy hollywood horror timing that has honestly started to ruin intense scenes for me. also, i dont like the set up at all. just feels lame. it like makes sense and it does set up for some good shitわ later but idk i think im just so biased to the OG.
on the flipside, theres a looot about this that i really liked. while the daytime outdoor scenes are pretty scuffed, the indoor scenes, forest scenes, and night scenes are just gorgeous. amazing locations and set designs, captures such a great atmosphere that really gives this movie a strong and unique identity - something everyone since Hooper had a hard time creating. this movie is also crazy intense. im hesitant to say scary, but damn was i on the edge of my seat sometimes! really well directed chase scenes and suspenseful moments. im also a huge fan of how fucking evil and gore-y this is. feels like the perfect precursor to Saw, and theres gotta be some french extremism inspo in here right? i love the vibe of like, everyone is lying to you and is working against you. so evil. genuinely some sad nihilism shitわ for most of the movie. i also kind of like the ending! sorrryyy! spoiler: click to read leatherface in this is also the second best in the series so far. they do humanize him but in a way that works just well enough.
may check out his friday 13th remake since i liked this one.

Harsh Noise Wall, Ambient Noise Wall sampling
jun24
wall wednesday this week starts with triple splits!
i remember liking this more, originally.
panic’s first track is rather middling. its not bad, i just dont really care for it too much. opaques though is a very nice stereo-double-wall deal, both ears offer good and complementary crunches. i also forgot it started off with a sample. nice. FH’s first track is kind of on some ac core but i ended up liking it as it went on. panic’s second track is interesting though, its also a stereo-double-wall situation but both are strikingly different, one is very deep rumbling and the other is kind of crackling but still deep. again, its interesting for sure, but it doesnt work that well for me i think. opaque kills it on this side with a really comfy crackle, slight crunch to it, really good stuff. and finally, FH’s last track for this side: its actually pretty good! more crackling stuff, feels anw but i dont think id call it that primarily.
so overall its id say its just fine. its not really a super important wall split but if you like these artists you should check it out.

decided i need to maybe just focus on some of my smaller books this year so i can actually get sole reading done. moby dick killed my ass
originally copped this years ago when i was trying to tap into “avant garde” literature. its definitely weird but imo it feels super contrived. yeah the world is silly now and i explain things like a child because thats weird. idk, tries to be very weird but doesnt say anything. i like that the third act is actually kind of gore and depressing, feels like theres potential for something there.

UFO HNW (2022) [Compilation]Harsh Noise Wall
jun24
finally sat down and just chugged through this. some really good stuff in here, i get why hes the damn master.
track by track except for 11 and 12 because i forgot: track 1 is good weird disruptive pulse around 14:30ish interesting didnt ruin it. texture is smoother than i expected track 2 more good feels like fire burning deep rumbling i noticed there is some higher slightly harsh texture that feels like it grows more apparent not sure if thats true or if i just didnt hear it at first track 3 really good. theres slight stuttering and burst moments that feel like transmissions (album theme) and then i didn’t notice until the end but there is this wonderful wonderful wind sounding ambience feels so alien so cold love it track 4 didnt like this at all at first doesnt feel like it fits w other tracks and def my least fav so far (lamo 1.5 😭) but theres actually lots of really interesting interplay between higher and lower frequencies feels like constant tossing and turning i liked it track 5 yeah definitely docking points for very obvious loop + its maybe the least interesting one ive heard so far track 6 not much to say, its a good wall though. also halfway through yay track 7 another one with stuttering kind of crunchier texture and a subtle wind sounding higher tone that you can make out slightly track 8 really awesome rumbling stuff. definitely the quietest one so far. couldnt stop turning it up, addicting texture track 9 most dynamic one for sure. sound like tons of scraping and crawling and rolling around. lots of digital high frequency screeching. its good, but im not crazy about it track 10 oooh yes this is the most anw one very very low rumble stuff, some more fire crackle vibes but like super hellish evil. really good

jun24
part of the summer rewatching list i made. probably some spoilers below i dont really feel like spoilering
genuinely so awesome. one of those movies that everyone just fw because its objectively amazing. surface level ueah its the craziest slasher ever and like its super uncomfy and dirty yadda yadda yeah thats all good but like. the atmosphere is no fucking joke in this. so merciless and unforgiving, feels like the coldest warm movie ever. the scene when leatherface pops out and smashes kirks head and he just seizes out on the flood, then leatherface just slams the metal door shut. and THEN the soundtrack kicks in. ohh and its the most evil dark ambient shitわ ever too. so icy man, so cold. the restraint to hold that music back until after it all goes down, so genius. chills just thinking about it. and of course that entire chase scene is just like. such peak hopeless cinema. like a never ending nightmare but its all real as fuck. the entire back third of this movie just having sinister ambient underneath everything thats happening i mean i really cant stress how perfect this movie captures this strange and fucked up vibe.
something i also noticed this time around is like… i know im gonna sound crazy but theres this weird like, supernatural element to everything? the movie isnt supernatural, i dont mean that, but like, the shot of the sun against a totally black sky in the middle of the day, the insane close up zooms of her unnaturally green as fuck eyes, the fact that they basically made gramps a vampire - completely pale white and functionally a corpse, feeding him blood - its such a weird touch that kind of elevates this to the next level for me.
also really love the sets and stuff, leatherfaces house is fire as fuck, and the opening shots of the corpse… sooo fire.
4, lowkey dont be surprised if that shitわ goez up ⬆️ |

most enjoyment from movie: Videodrome

its segmented into a few different movements, where it focuses on one texture then builds on top of it in the next. its not bad

rewatched with my girlfriend.
cant believe i ever gave this a 3.5, its basically a masterclass in film making. literally every decision paul makes he chooses correctly. that magical mystery tour... holy transcendence... doing that shit an hour+ into a movie with like only one or two moving shots up to that point. bruh

and finally, a relisten. for the third time.
honestly this just finally really hit for me. i think my biggest gripe, and maybe yall will hear something similar from fuckcomments, is that there just isnt enough like interplay between the noise and piano? it feels contrived to me. or it did. maybe it was the rain or maybe i grew up idk but this shits beautiful af. such a lovely piano line. i used to not love the textures either but again they just clicked for me this time around. especially that second one. feels so sharp, like stabbing. weird sensation.

may24
been sittin on this entry for days now i have no idea what i even wanna say about this shit but its basically fucking awesome as fuck. berg taps into this crazy sexuality meets technology, some shit only Alien really captured, and i heavy fuck with the whole violence and pornography critique. the ending is goated as hell. i was a bit turned off at first, its got that early cronenberg thing where the first act of all of his movies is on the major boring side, but damn this picks up and accelerates. basically had my damn ass glued to the screen
SPOILERS BTW!spoiler: click to read 4 |

realized that i just completely forgot to add this to my diary - i watched it in like march i think.

for wall wednesday this week i decided to finally return to this. leviathan. right here.
its been a super long time since i last heard it, i think i was in college thats how long ago it was 😂 gotta say its still pretty good, honestly feels like being dragged through deep ocean currents and constantly crashing info rocks.
really though, and im sorry, i really tried to come at this with an open mind, but really this just aint hnw. i dont get how it is so, by a landslide, voted for as a primary. shits all over the place! it isnt even slow hnw like the cherry point, some of this feels like something merzbow might’ve churned out if he was a little more fucked up. oh well. maybe ill never get it.

i like the concept, a future where everyone in the world loves noise musicians. of course the noise sequences are great, but i like the regular soundtrack as well. that live show in the field might just be one of the greatest things ever put to visual media ever. shitわ had me so emotional, powerful editing and some real genuinely beautiful playing.
only gripe really is how boring a lot of this is. like after a noise segment im just waiting for the next one to happen. i may even lower the score later tbh, but that live performance lives so strong in my head im chilling for now.

no truck today cuz hail so my ass is listening to shitわ.
even though the energy is turned down a couple notches on this compared to the ep, i was still right that this stuff works better in a shorter format. that said, this is still fun and enjoyable. less jpop samples i think

in a review for The Collective Calm in Mortal Oblivion, ButterflyMan describes Abnormality’s style here as “underground and primitive”, which is both very true and honestly why i liked this as much as i did. love her vocals here too. had no idea this had a song in rock band, who even thinks of that? and from a bands demo ep nonetheless? lol

Moby Dick
may24
yes oomfies, you read that correctly. rock time has finally, at long last, finished reading Moby frickin Dick!
im not gonna lie, this got so boring for such long stretches at a time, thats honestly why it took me so long to get through. not that i don’t appreciate it though. i think melville’s ability to just admire things in the world is unparalleled. i mean theres a whole chapter just about what the whales colour might symbolize. the story is honestly not quite that strong, i kind of expected it to be more hands on like constantly going through engaging whaling or boating scenes but he honestly skips most of that, save for the brief explanation chapters that merely discuss something that an average non-whaling reader more than likely wouldnt know.
idk. probably not reading another classic for a long time

Brutal Death Metal Slam Death Metal male vocalist, vulgar, dark, aggressive, dense
may24
its becoming more and more apparent to me these days, as i endlessly trawl the underground for more and more extreme metal, that real honest brutality just isnt as common to come by as it used to be.
theres something special about the atmosphere and approach here. i can feel the intensity throbbing off of this thing, but its not overdoing it by any means. i dont think its particularly standoutish in the same way hyper ping slam or math tech metal would be, its just real honest brutal death metal. it does a damn good job at being that. there is some ping though which is lit

of course its not my first time listening to this. i heard it wayy back in highschool when i was first getting into emo and going through all the mu essential charts. i remember not really liking it at all.
my girlfriend played a song from this the other week and i actually enjoyed it, so i thought maybe its time to finally revisit it.
well, i guess i mustve been high or something. cant say i liked any of these songs. they arent bad by any means but its just real boring slop i guess. i love the guitars, really great melodies and chords and i like the tones, great start for emo there. the drums and vocals are just way too punk for my tastes. i really dont like the vocals. his lyrics are fine. what saves this from being a 2 for me is 1) i respect it and 2) that last song… some fire energy they tapped into there. hardcore improv!

pretty awesome stuff. i dont even really know how to talk about it i just fw it. the weird child sexual abuse atmosphere (crazy phrase) is wild, kind of like a maturation of what he was tryna do with the brood. actually now that im writing this im realizing just how crazy that shitわ really was, it permeates basically everything in this movie. only thing i didnt fw was just how the movie looks idk seemed really flat and bland to me. love the ghost scenes

may24
honestly i liked it. its amazing how well jane is able to pull emotion out of a frame, a good handful of times my eyes watered. its hard to word this exactly, theres a lot of romantic and platonic exploration here that hits really close to home for me. growing up with friends that were questioning, learning about my own sexuality, making weird distant memories with people that i carry every day with me in my subconscious. shitわ makes me want to cry. enough about me though.
i think their style is totally matured here, only two movies in i know but its so impressive how effective jane’s abilities to immerse you in the screen are (lol). visually very stunning, awesome NWR lighting. i love the pacing, feels shorter than it is, and i love the characters and the actors. really amazing performances yall really. also found the story to be pretty interesting. loved the soundtrack (sorry im gay asf for that i know).
i totally agree with fuckcomments on the whole trans identity stuff, he really touches on an important issue there you should check his entry out for a better explanation of that. i have to say though it doesnt really hurt the movie that much for me? the ending is kind of stupid though, and i hate hate hate the narration shitわ owen does. also no fucking way he can pay mortgage on an arcade paycheck 😭

i guess i cant say im entirely disappointed? in retrospect its basically exactly what it says: old live album from the bands very very early days, before even absolutego was released, so its very japanese hardcore. i expected more intense guitars, but they keep it rather minimal. theres still a degree of their trademark complexities and subtle tasteful flares that make this a bit more engaging, but i gotta be honest i really dont care at all for this. i feel nothing listening to it

and then the craziest fucjing shitわ ever happens the vhs version of this on youtube played from autoplay and im not lying it literally worked so perfectly. its like the exact same aspect ratio as meltdown and they even nailed the same kind of video quality. and then like, obviously its sillier here, but this video lowkey touches on the same kind of topics as nick land does idk it was just funny as fuck.
they lowkey overplay the european dj thing a liiittle too hard but its still fun and funny. “sex, im wanting more” is genius and the chorus is quite catchy

since this is just about the audio im not gonna lie im not like soo crazy about it its kind of like just a mix of these middling techno/trance/idm-ish tracks that do a good job as background music but really just arent that good to me? idk im over/not into that kind of music. the text to speech voices are cool, i like that they change every so often.

crazy. bro put this on right after squeakquel.
im not gonna hella pretend im super into accelerationism or technocracy stuff but this is fire af. he kind of writes like peter sotos if that makes sense? just these huge nonstop stream of consciousness massive words that more so convey an image or vibe than a linear narrative, which i heavy fw. visuals are awesome as fuck too, shave said they look like future brakhage which is trve. they sometimes remind me of the audio visualizers on newgrounds. it kind of did feel like an hour long but i guess i dont mean that in a bad way? my eyes were glued to the screen the whole time so

hung out with gang we watched this. ive actually never seen this, but ive watched all the other ones. for some reason.
its fucked up how much they have to feminize the chippettes like when they dance or even when theyre just at school they have to wear makeup or extravagant outfits, even though the chipmunks just wear like hoodies. and theyre all chipmunks? why do the females need a modified name “chippettes”? just kind of pushes that male = default idea. also weird af that human girls are like head over heels for the chipmunks its kind of gross. why do they have to swoon over them? cant they just like the music or something. i also just feel like the jocks just change characters depending on whatever the plot calls for. they bully simon but then are really scared of him but then later hes a dork but now theyre buddy buddy with alvin i dont know. feel like they could have just introduced more characters for all these points in the story.

as this works its way onto my all time 3x3 i suppose its only fitting that i write up a new entry for it.
something i always wonder when i listen to this is what the songwriting process for this looked like. it seems like some songs are definitely just blast and chug for however long, kind of mindless obviously, but you can tell a lot of these tracks have some real technicality and tightness to them that they just had to write out or talk about lol. and on that topic these guys are some of the best grind songwriters ever. theres a surprising amount of catchiness and groove if you can kind of look past the fucking evil nasty gore.

dont even really know where to start on this. obviously solondz is like, a fucking master at capturing the dull and depraved world of middle class america. such a unique feeling and atmosphere this and Storytelling have. i really love how well he explores sexuality, crime, purpose, tragedy and comedy here. i think he handles this really provocative material with a delicate sense of knowing when it should be funny or not. another thing i really liked about this was the characters. despite there being so many and their roles in regards to each other sometimes being a bit confusing thanks to hyperlink format, they all stood out as fully fleshed people to me. idk, i could probably ramble on but thats good for now i think. funny as fuck ending (but its actually fucked up?!)

may24
played a noise show last night with my friend and we literally played for a minute and a half. like 20 seconds in he jumped on the table i was using and everything just collapsed so we rolled around on the ground for a little then ended it. everyone fucked w it
this is pretty good. the more of these harsh noise noisecore of theirs i hear the more i start to wonder how exactly this shit is made. i know theres some sound collage techniques, but this feels so live and stream of consciousness. doesnt really feel like theyre cutting stuff up necessarily. some great textures here though, also love the vocals.

gonna start a whitehouse rerun sometime soon, something tells me my initial ranking of their albums was inaccurate.
always hurts my little baby heart. philosophy and daddo so chilling and gross ugh, and i cant stress enough how a cunt like you is just the best PE song fucking ever. AGUMorbidD00d brought up a really cool point that i kind of internalized but never consciously considered but the sequencing here is brilliant, "A flip of perspective from the psychopathology of the abuser to the reverberating suffering of the victim". that said, after the first time i heard it i just can never sit through Private again, even on this relisten. its too harrowing. one of the opening samples of that little girl crying about her parents fighting... so sad bro

Brutal Death Metal
may24
fjcking. fuck yes dude.
not gonna lie, its nothing super special on the surface. this isnt like a ping slaughter or slam masterpiece or anything like that, its just some god damn good brutal death metal through and through. no dull moments really, and while there is a lot of variation in production i find it helps give each band their own unique identities. riffs on riffs on riffs, so much stank facing on my end i loved it. its definitely a bit on the longer side and kind of loses momentum around the middle but i cant really say i didnt like any of it. wasnt hella paying attention to the artists but i remember cadavoracity, bleeding flesh, brutal corpse and death vomit being highlights. chills… that ending…

Harsh Noise Wall
may24
if i was a professional wall reviewer:
nah i lowkey had a bit i was gonna do where i wrote helluva lot for this but im not feelin it anymore. its a loop based wall so automatic points docked and it feels stronger in concept rather than execution. volume levels change up and down a lot throughout this which just gets annoying really. besides all that though, the packaging on this is just gorgeous. almost considering buying it for that alone

last listen before work. wanted to check guy out but i dont want to hunt down splits or listen to the piss drinking cover art so lol 30 second single. dont understand why the other 2 people that heard this hate it its just regular harsh noise with blown out vocals on it.

comfy cold anw. also ambient. track 1 is interesting the ambient synths dont really show up until like maybe halfway through and they are suuuper quiet its nice reminds me of that one awesome vomir tanner garza. track 2 is way more upfront with the ambient stuff its not as good but its still not bad.
edit: also cute reminds me of nature noise wall (rip) forgot to add that originally in this entry

yeah so i actually knew the whole fucking time that this was going to come out because im one of the biggest immortal life fans in the world so i had the inside scoop yeah./
kind of as expected its nowhere near as great as the original, but credit where credits due these are still really good rerecordings. stellar drum work, and a great vocal performance as usual from haela. my only gripe is that the guitars are honestly kind of quiet? maybe thats just cuz im used to how piercing and overwhelming the og is but idk they dont feel loud enough.

yeah so fml accidentally relistened to this but its whatever that reminds me i wanna start doing like wall wednesdays or something this year just once a week maybe more than once really the name is just cuz it sounds good alliteration but frequently id like to go back and relisten to walls i remember liking or dont remember exactly how i felt about. kind of a chance to further refine my wall tastes you know
anyway so i relistened to this on accident and it actually sucks more coming back to it. used to be a 3 but i just am not a fan of this texture at all

the long awaited third SDM funk/frusciante collaboration release, "Birth Control Pill"........
and its pretty mid. im playin. its good. nowhere near as exciting as the last release we got from them but its got its merits. surprisingly melodic, and also a lot more straight-on jungle than i was expecting. very obvious funk-isms littered throughout this, but i think frusciante does a good job of holding him back a bit and perhaps is also why this might be more on the melodic side. all that said though i just dont really care tooo much about either of these tracks. good stuff, just cant see myself coming back to this ever

finally getting around to this. basically the perfect entry point for anything ramirez, surprised this doesnt have like any ratings. really every project here sounds great, i think theres a couple tracks towards the end of the second half that im not crazy on but i really cant complain. love the last rape tracks very good stuff there

if youre wondering whats been on the tv since i havent been watching any movies lately. just kind of randomly decided to start this w my girlfriend a little ago.
honestly way funnier than i expected, really love schmidt and jess. i wasnt fw winston at first but as he develops he gets funnier i end up liking him a lot more. i dont like when they start yelling and things get heated in an angry way they honestly do it a lot and its lowkey some triggering vibes. theres also a lot of racism and sexism in this show so its weird that my gf also fucks w it |

basically just totally forgot to add this to my diary when i watched it. not gonna try figuring out where to put it so im just doing it here.
really fun. always love snyder’s action direction and i honestly fw how all his lovies look. i think the christ allegories are really cool too, they add a depth to superman that i never really felt from any other media ive seen him in. ive always kind of hated superman, hes just a really boring hero i guess. really good casting too

ive been putting the relisten off for way too long now. i think i got turned off from it after i first heard it and i didnt really get their “style” you know? definitely a hard pill to swallow. the brodequin pill. but now that ive been able to fully enjoy all of their other albums i decided its time i come back and give their debut one more shot
rewarding ass listen too, the riffs on this are great im surprised i never really noticed it before. i also think their songwriting here might top festival’s. some great groovy moments in between all the brutality. also love the fuck out of that production. sounds really uniquely digital but not like… in a bad way i guess idk hard to explain. bonus tracks were lit

these legions…
really good write up that review but i disagree with its core beljef because THIS ALBIM IS AWESOME!’n
basicaly one fucking word: groovy bruh infected malignity is def the best side here, tons of memorable riffs and great slamming breakdown chuggs, i also loved their live recordings as they are just a bit rougher around the edges in the best ways possible. malebolgia carries the torch well with some more awesome riffage. the production isnt as good as IM’s side but i dont mind that much. i also think their name sounds like male bulge tragical memories (awesome name) is definitely the weakest, but its not bad by any means. super weird but not in the dripping way, for some reason the guitars are just on flangers the entire time? a couple other weird choices makes this otherwise run of the mill bdm feel kind of exciting. overall really awesome stuff. i may investigate bros further

checked this out for MD’s side since its just isaac horne on drums and vocals.
pg: worthless spends half of the track waiting for audience members to quiet and then is just the most boring “grindcore” ever md: fucking peak as fuckingfuck. genuinely sounds soo good, as long as isaac is drumming you could do anything on it its gonna be fire. his vocals are great nr: good, it reminds me of anal birth live, my only problem is that its just a little too long. kind of gets boring toward the last half

pretty great grind. really noisy of course but i mean specifically in the mixing and stuff. the actual noise im kind of becoming indifferent towards. its good yeah its just not the most exciting, and what upholds this for me is really how well they play their shitわ.

listened to this like hella long ago but just put off adding it to database until now.
honestly kind of cool. ive read some interviews with Eater of Sheep and some other extratone guys and they always bring up how this music is closer to noise music, or that its kind of like this transcendence of hardcore electronic and it becomes almost meditative or psychedelic. in my honest opinion, ive never actually gotten that vibe from any extratone ive heard, its mostly always squarely in the realm of hardcore, or at least something like IDM if its taking itself a bit more seriously. but whats great about Unnatural Meditations is that it kind of does achieve that? really longform songs and a super strange and alien atmosphere, though it doesnt push into qebrµs territories, which i think its kind of a respectable thing. the last track especially, ooh its cool. i guess the concept is like cycling patterns of extratone kicks? it feels so weird. i dig it

still not washed #MattStephens
shave brings up a good point to me in private that the shorter track times on this let him run through ideas a bit faster, i kind of like it it also just makes the album a bit more fun to listen to for me, ofc i appreciate his longer stuff but you know nothing takes the cake like 2 minute free bdm. also heavy fw the aesthetic here i like the very organic and "green" take on gore stuff. i wonder if he used drawn artwork after seeing the "backlash" from Destructive Transfixed Incorporeality's cover. i dont think this is as wild and out there as his earlier works but its still effluence and its still damn awesome. its fire as fuck that Organic Disembowelment is literally just a death metal track lol

Gorenoise, Harsh Noise
apr24
its good, maybe more “traditional” gorenoise in the shorter song sense, but it doesnt really hold a candle to what he would go on to do in Sessions #10-15. the vocal only idea is pretty unique though! he definitely pulls it off better than probably anyone else could

Experimental Rock, Noise Rock Alternative Rock, Industrial Rock
apr24
i just downloaded and relistened to both of these. maybe eventually id like to buy the remasters steve ayers did but i dont actually know off rip how much different or better they sound.
basically the perfect comp, these are pretty much the exact same album, i guess the only real difference is the themes of both. Born in Blood seems to be more about love and sex while Case Histories is very obviously child abuse or general violence, but honestly as a back to back listen they flow so seamlessly it doesnt really matter.
i think its very much a thing of taste, i know not everyone loves this kind of pounding drum machine (i know they use real drums but this definitely feels mechanic) kind of industrial noise rock stuff (honestly i dont even really like it) but god damn can steve write some great riffs. that on top of the fact that he hardly ever shies away from some noisy experimentation means that even when songs lean into boring camp they are at least still interesting to a degree.
my biggest gripe however, is also steve. maybe its less of steves fault and more of a testament to bliss blood’s vocals, but a lot of these instrumental tracks just cant hold up to ones with a vocal line! i love her snappy and weird energy, and shes got basically the perfect voice for this style of music. ayers just spends wayyy too much time dicking around here, or maybe bliss blood just got a little too lazy, idk..
its still all great material. gonna continue looking through their stuff later

headache
just pointless. as fuck. characters truly just exist as pieces that do things and then stuff happens. the most absurd part of this is that everytime something terrifying goes down the characters still walk around and act inquisitive about what ever it is. why the fuck are you puzzled by coins dropping from thin air??? run bitch 😭 and then also like why the fuck is this a teen movie? i think its kind of funny that this opens up with the text that says “oh yeah each item in their collection deserves its own story but one is the worst its annabelle” and then goes on to be about everything in their collection… except annabelle. i mean shes in this but like, youd be surprised how little she is, given the title. and then ugh the whole bob side plot like literally just didnt need to fucking happen if he was cut out of this movie it would still make sense
idk i hated it

Ambient Noise Wall Field Recordings nocturnal, natural, mysterious
apr24
the comment is correct. very dark atmosphere. reminds me of Сергей Пахомов [Sergey Pakhomov] in that regard, though it is much dryer compared to his usual ventures in wall crafting. sounds like snow crunching, and i love the field recordings layered ontop. such a simple but effective choice. just the whole vibe of this is fucked up and creepy as crud. i disagree that its a lame concept, its got its merit. maybe overdone a bit, but not totally worthless.

…and honestly feel the exact same about it lol. its good skramz, i can see why its a classic. these undoubtedly are very passionate and well written, the jazz influence is also super unique and definitely helps this stick out even more, but i just dont love it. maybe im past that point in my life where this would have been goated as fuck, idk, its good but it doesnt leave any lasting memories in my twisted little mind.

really stupid. i guess its good for the fact that it finally connects all our big players in this universe since we have the valak origin story but beyond that this is just like. worthless. one of the most predictable affairs ever, literally every beat comes right on queue, and it fails to build like any tension because it just keeps trying to scare you lol. also feels like it just makes up and drops rules whenever it wants? kind of inconsistent. pretty dumb characters too blah blah blah i mean all standard fair worthless hollywood horror stuff you know. main gir gives a good performance i guess, and the mystery is a bit interesting. but yeah idk i didnt like this

definitely a step down from everything else ive heard from her, but an assured maturation anyway. more serious and meticulously crafted sounds with a general sense of progression most noise isnt really tapped into. of course i say “maturation” but that artwork would beg to differ. its cute, i just feel like maybe this wasnt the project for it? im not crazy about this though, it leans a bit too much into death indust. noise could be cranked a bit louder me thinks

holds up even better than i remember. i love the pacing, feels like it goes by so smoothly and quickly even for 90 min. love shyamalans awkward humour will never understand how people just cant come to terms w it lol. a lot of the imagery and symbolism was even more chilling and impactful this time around. dont know why i never noticed the weird family dynamic he plays with here, but after seeing the rest of his filmography it just makes sense. beautiful stuff about love and nature.

today was good. my saturday. my mom took my girlfriend and i to the rangers’ game, she got these special corporate tickets that got us pretty great seats by first base and also unlimited access to free buffet and stadium food? free drinks too lol shitわ was crazy, we also got front lot parking i mean just nuts how chill it was. we used to go lots when i was younger but the seats were always so much worse and we had to park so far away. cant tell if im older now and i actually know whats going on or this new timer rule stuff in MLB has made games way faster but it was lowkey hella fun to watch. hey maybe im fw baseball now idk 🤷🏻♀️
new conjuring is creeping up so we just sittin down and truckin thru the rest of this universe.
huge step down from the first - the problem i have with this extends to p much every james wan horror movie in that somewhere buried in this is a truly great film, you can see how creative this dude is when it comes to crafting scary scenes, so many cool uses of hand held camera work, awkward angles, reflections, props, long shots or sound, but ugh is this bogged down by all that studio slop editing. every time something really captures my attention and im super invested in the tension it jump cuts to another angle or it altogether abandons whatever it is that made it start standing out in the first place. aside from that, this story just also is not as strong as the first movie’s. lots of heart tugging hollywood moments and shif that make me roll my eyes. also the very janky use of cgi every now and again takes me out hella, actual moments that feel like im watching a tim burton joint or something no clue why they relied at all on that 😭
its got good scenes, that nun is pretty damn creepy, little girl does a good job, im just damn ambivalent about it.

idk why but i randomly got the urge to listen to this today. i used to listen to this every day in my 8th grade online french class. i was going through a launchpad phase and i basically fw’d any video that used one lol. i didnt even like this kind of edm back then, shitわ like the imagine dragons song or bastille just make me wince everytime i hear them, to this day. but the mix is actually really well done. less of a mashup and more of a dj set, i wonder why he even plays this on launchpads? he could also literally just be activating the lights and playing to a premade mix, lol.

it was my girlfriends birthday, so to celebrate i took her out to a nice asian restaurant (expensive as fuuck but yummy) and then we went to go see this.
its not bad. super campy at first but you kind of get used to it, it reaaally commits to this 70s talk show universe and like it never really lets up so i mean at some point you just forget that youre watching a movie and it ends up working really nicely. pretty cool concept too, ive never seen something thats like, the entire movie is committed to this format of being one medium, its almost some weird af found footage i guess. lots of cool ideas and passion for sure. ending i felt was kind of weird, like it couldve ended earlier and wouldve hit a bit harder but they lowkey do some crazy meta shitわ at the ending that i think a ton of normie movie goers are gonna remember for years.
uhhehmmmm another ai discussion yeah idegaf. 3 still images harmless as fuck if youre woried that ai is taking over and every movie you love is going to be lazy i urge you to remember how hard Wish flopped and how people are still finding new ways to dog on it. i dont even think most of that shitわ is ai but its pretty damn obvious how easy it is to sniff out, bros on this were hella transparent about it too, it just aint worth boycotting such a cool and clearly sincerely made movie.

nah i mean you could have predicted what this would have sounded like 10 years ago its literally just the exact same shitわ theyve been doing but less awesome. as hype as it is that theyre back making new stuff it just doesn’t do anything actually “new”. its fine sudge they kind of lost that ultra sludge edge they had and i wish they did longer songs but yeah whatever.
also, the artwork… i dont really think complaining about AI is productive i think its a tool like anything else and there are certainly entire musical ecosystems that rely on/use AI ( cernobog, as an example) plus AI is literally the backbone of a lot of powerful musical tools and daws.
i do think that this particular example, and yes its something that i would handle on a case by case basis, is lazy and boring as fuck. not that i loved their second albums’ art, but it was still some damn art. i mean this isnt even interesting artwork, ghost guy is in space and there is space demons? ok? theres just no personality or depth, and for their first album in like over half a decade it feels so phoned in and lazy. title too, why on earth is that the fucking title. i miss when they hated sex but fuccd anyway

just fuckjng. so awesome. literally just pure passion and expression. i dont even have to really talk about the themes and narratives here honestly just the visuals alone secure this as one of the greatest pieces of media ever. love how overwhelming literally every second is, felt like my eyes were hurting because of how much attention i was giving it, not that it demands much (in fact, quite the opposite, i found it to be deeply hypnotic, always lulling me into a sleepier state) but it is simply so beautiful and interesting that it almost doesnt feel right not to try and notice everything happening on screen. its just ridiculous this came out in the 60s.
me and shave decided to soundtrack this with Magnesia Nova since this reissue comes w a bonus track that puts it closer to the movies runtime. dont think it elevated the movie, but it certainly elevated the music. interesting dances between some of the noise and brakhage’s animations, as well as a crazy sync up going into part 3.

transgressive art is not only important, but necessary. art is expression, it must necessarily be human. transgressive art forces us to look deeper into ourselves and what it means to be human. in order to properly engage with it, we must also battle within ourselves over our own feelings, the morals we live by, the ethics we mold them from, and perhaps the environment and society we've grown and continue to live in. transgressive art calls for freedom of expression; it attempts to live in spite of tyranny that aims to keep art "conservative". at one point in time, Olympia was transgressive, but now it was nothing more than an important stepping stone in the evolution of our freedoms to express. the (still) infamous R. Mutt urinal, absurdly "not art" for its time, is now a strong precursor to the post-modernist movement which i would argue we are still living through today. queer art, POC art, any art that has asked to reconsider the status quo, all transgressive in their context and necessary in history.
My Favorite Pedophile [New Game+] falls into the category of transgressive art. it is not the first art work to delve into such topics of pedophilia. Sotos' Proxy, Nabokov's Lolita, Seul contre tous [I Stand Alone], May December, and Mummy and Daddy (to an extent) are a few works that come to mind when i think of that kind of theme. My Favorite Pedophile, though, may be the only non-narrative album to try its hand at this kind of thing. it isnt the first concept album, nor is it the first transgressive concept album (think Sutcliffe Jügend - When Pornography Is No Longer Enough or The Victim as Beauty). it is, however, quite accessible and digestible, despite its ridiculous runtime (something ill touch on later). IDM and breakcore (really, a lot of this is just break-inspired, i wouldnt outright call most of it breakcore) are becoming more and more popular as artists like PinkPantheress and Sewerslvt bring drum and bass and electronic music in general to a wider audience. knowing all of this, i was honestly quite skeptical going into this album. that, and i wasnt sure how willing i was to sit through 2 hours of pedophile themed breakbeats.
in some ways, i was right to be skeptical. let me say this first, before i really dig in here: the music is fine. hidden ninja is a creative and strong producer, and manages to keep ideas flowing at a steady and engaging rate throughout the super long run time. i actually really enjoyed a few tracks. and thats something i'd like to preface before this next section: there exists transgressive artworks that fail to be transgressive because they dont sound engaging (快楽—逃避 [Pleasure-Escape]) or "good" or "convincing". but that is not why this album fails to be transgressive.
MFP fails to provoke, it fails to reflect, and it fails to really stick to the theme it sets its sights on. in fact, i hardly think this album takes its topic seriously at all, up until maybe the last several tracks and a few sprinkled elsewhere throughout. the concept feels completely haphazardly handled. a last minute idea that if you stretch just hard enough can kind of work for the entire album. what we really have here is a swathing shitload of decent IDM tracks that oscillate between being silly, high energy, or possibly a bit mellow, but nothing here asks me to consider the narrative or heavy themes of the album (again, bar the last few tracks). i feel no emotion, i feel no disgust, i feel nothing! honestly, the few tracks with in-theme samples just feel insulting! some girl repeating "pedophile" over and over again, i mean it just feels wrong. it feels exploitative. hidden ninja kindly asks us to consider that "This is merely a social commentary and a tender one at that," in the bandcamp description, and yet i feel none of that. i hardly feel there is a commentary at all. what kind of possible commentary could you make with tracks like "I Can Haz Ur Daughter Plz", "Lolicon Gone" and fucking "Pdo_Bearsql". oh, yes! pedophilia the meme! yes! this is the tender social commentary i was craving. beyond all of this though, is the simple fact that it is 2 fucking hours long, so its actually really really easy to get super bored of it and not care at all! if your artwork is supposed to be about sympathizing with a pedophile and im actually getting bored of it i know you did something wrong.
faux shock-value slop. im sorry, but i cant give any higher than a 2.5 for this. it feels like a slap in the face to people who seriously care about provocation, transgression, and honest engagement with art. at least Substitute managed to stay true to its theme.

so i basically listened to this so long ago but i honestly didnt feel like adding it to the database only just rating it now that i see someone else has lol.

oh fucking fuck yeah bitch. so cool. very dark and cold, i love the fucking math/sci fi shitわ this dude does it in such a cool not annoying way. feel like oldhead purists would dunk on this but i love how outside the box it operates for CNW. really distant and dark drones, i love those random synth stabs in the second track, just generally such a cool and unique vibe in this. i may need to revisit his other shitわ. cant believe he hasn’t released anything since this

apr24
yeah so i guess its wall wonday or something. nah but i saved like 96 brazillion perpetual abjection releases so im finally deciding to sit down and listen thru them.
pretty good honestly. its kind of awesome that the first track never gets annoying - makes sense that sven is pretty skilled at crafting and picking out wall textures at this point in his career. its definitely something not every wall artist has the talent for. comfy second and third tracks.

feel like a baby because i know in my heart i dont fw powerviolence like that but i see 7 min runtime and i just cant help myself lol
yeah i mean its good when its fast boring when its slow. i think PV is like in this weird uncanny area where its obviously an evolution of the hardcore punk stuff that i dont like but it just doesnt do enough to actually feel any different. skramz takes that idea and pushes it in a more emotional direction, grindcore brings it squarely into the metal realm, but PV still just feels like boring punk stuff. also, rings of saturns ex-singer is in this band? and weirdly enough thats the second time ive brought up rings of saturn this month…

apr24
fire concept for the cassettes (read comments) and this is crazy as hell. lowkey avant garde metal? obviously bdm but this feels wayyy out of line for what the genre usually consists of (it has this weird alien feeling that you only really get from like janky black metal releases). super crazy...

my original plan was to listen to Tears in the Bando but i could just feel in my gut that i could not sit through that and not feel like my entire day was ruined and wasted so i picked this instead its shorter and seemed more emotionally charged.
and i mean it is, but it still sucks a lot. super uninspired/uninteresting beats, she sounds really apathetic but not in a lit way, she kind of just flat out sucks at rapping and honestly maybe if these werent all like random ass freestyles and she sat down to write some shit it might have turned out better.
i like the cover i guess.

its a minecraft and music kind of sunday. working on a creeper farm since i need tnt to excavate a huge area for a SLIME farm which i need so i can make sticky pistons in a WHEAT farm!
interesting little loops and stuff. i guess each track is made up of multiple smaller little tracks, thats certainly what it sounds like at least. its nothing crazy.
weird to me how this basically went completely under the radar for just about everyone lol. released in 2015, on inhos' label of all places? just weird...

sort of exactly what i expected? but still good. its definitely (and this most certainly extends to just about all of his work for now) feels like a grower, or i at least need to relisten a bit to really get an idea of what/how to appreciate it. i love the second track, so beautiful. hes got a good voice too

me and bluddy ( fuckcomments for those of you that are slow) saw this in theatres. we also got some yummy ass asian grub before hand.
kind of the most inoffensive movie ever if im being honest. war movie but its about journalism, idk it doesnt speak volumes to me but i guess i can see why you might fw it. kind of ridiculous its getting any amount of hate, people treating this like its a jan 6th biopic lol. nick offerman def parodying trump on some levels but i dont think thats even something that weighs in on how you should receive this movie. garland directs violence pretty great, especially the ending sequence in DC. soundtrack is annoying as hell but props to that one suicide song. ending felt neutered af.

they fell off im sorry i know its deep ecco and on that note like they all sound good here but no one gives a good enough performance that im hooked or even engaged at all. bros are getting old, not sure why they wanted to make a song called TLDR but it just dont sit wif me. and cmon wa, really dropping the ball here. some of his most boring inoffensive production to date. somehow sounds like a plugg beat even though i know hes doin that whole wave/trap dipset shitわ.

Too Old to Die Young
apr24
not even sure how to start this. NWR’s giant middle finger to like, everyone lol. unflinching cinema, refusal to move any faster than a snail’s pace, refusal to adhere to any western norms, fuck relatable characters, fuck feel good stories, kill everyone and show everything. i can sit here and list off every single scene that makes this one of the best ‘movies’ ive ever seen or why the soundtrack and score are seriously so perfect or how i fuck with basically every character and storyline here or i can tell you to just sit your ass down and get too fucking old to die young.
i will elaborate on one thing though. to me, this is like, the only thing that gets american criticism right. fuckcomments was right that this is like, kind of speaking on the future of america, and its crazy this came out just a year before like a ton of rioting and protesting and then jan 6th shitわ, feels so in tune with what was going to come kinda unreal. of course, i just have to talk about a one particular episode 9. if you know the scene, you know the scene. spoiler: click to read.

sad how good methlab explosion side is in comparison. i used to have recurring a nightmare as a child that i was shrunken down and a giant clump of metal debris and junk shrapnel bounced around trying to crush me in my dining room, and the noise it made is the exact same as the some of the noises present on this track. hella hypnotizing for me now, i could feel myself floating for brief periods of time during it.

bro, just ridiculous. first of all this shit sounds fucking crazy to i know it probably didnt sound like it live but this quality from a 60s recording is like unreal this sounds like something from the 80s or 90s idfk the drums are so fucking distorted and fat sometimes it feels like theres 10 different drummers at once, and coltranes fucking sax dude. just absurd, so demented and yet he somehow pulls out so much soul from it, he really is playing like this is the last damn live recording.
honestly, theres not a whole lot else i can say. ill include some discord conversating but you really should just read this review, says everything i could and more, lots of insight as well.

thought this might be a nice way to start the day in the freezer. was all by myself today so i had to fucking work my damn little ass off but its chill i only ended up rolling over a tiny bit compared to what i started with i just know the next day gonna suck like a buttsack if im by myself again.
kind of exactly what youd expect, i do prefer when they do this stuff without vocals though i understand the appeal its just nice to relax to some thick slabs of riff. ultimately though ive just come to the conclusion that this music doesnt really work for me much anymore until i hear it in like a live setting or something. or maybe i just need to listen on some speakers. last track was nice.

honestly not a whole lot to say. i think generally ted's messages outweigh his actions in terms of the people they reach, as someone that didnt grow up during the unabomber events the exact details have always been blurry to me. its quite elucidating hearing from his journals, i think you get a much clearer picture that he was evil through and through. this format is quite nice too. both pleasing, and quite plain, it not only presents its substance in the flattest, non-biased way possible, but it also allows you to really focus and hone in on it. being shots of the different seasons and a mock-cabin i found myself also imaginably wandering around the area, watching ted do the things he describes.
i dont think i can rate it, it feels much too close to a documentary.

we finally finished the series! unfortunately we finished s2ep19 like right before our move so we just havent had time for like a week now to sit down and watch the last one, but now our living room kinda set up and we got wifi in this bitch.
honest to god this second season was crazy as hell. its awesome they moved it over to disney xd because they do so much wild shitわ for a kids show, like all the monster designs are way more detailed and honestly a bit scary fr, they lean into a lot more unsettling themes and horror shitわ, characters actually bleed?? idk its crszy that its still like a “kids show” at this point. id also never seen a single ep of this season before, my gf made a good point that they probably only rerun the first season since this second one is so lore heavy and a bit more serious. the finale was pretty good but kind of annoying at the end when it like has these false high stakes of like spoiler: click to read. bittersweet ending though. i like stuff like that.
not sure what else to watch now. |

this is definitely interesting. i wanted to like it more but i found that it kind of is just too long and fails to hold my attention for longer than id like. even though i was impressed w each track and theres lots of creative and unique ideas here it just didnt do much else to leave a very memorable mark in my brain. maybe listening on speakers wouldve been better

normal benning stuff for the first half, a couple of filmography standout shots though (in particular the spoiler: click to read shitわ was so beautiful) but of course the standout here is the last one. i wont spoil anything (dont read the comments here either) but its awesome… TOO BAD ITS RUINED BY YOUTUBE! seriously so frustrating, the low quality actually hurts this so much this is probably 2nd best benning ive seen but im gonna withhold my rating until i see that shot in the higher quality it deserves.

|
Goregrind, Slam Death Metal
mar24
crazy how no one has heard this yet lol. i guess its a bit tricky to find (its up on youtube tho)
really worthless stuff so i guess no one is missing out. not only very musically boring and grating but also lyrically (yes, the lyrics, somehow on all 3 sides, are quite intelligible). only in ohio i guess huh
2 |

Technical Death Metal chaotic, dense, technical
mar24
weird how they went from this to Brutal Autonomy just a year later. its pretty standard demo-level bdm stuff. the resonant bass was lowkey annoying as fuck

while i like the first track, the industrial techno shitわ they do sometimes just turns me off so much. still enjoyable but could be smth more without that element

Strawberry Hospital & Parasite HeartBlackgaze, Electronicore nonbinary vocalist, bittersweet, androgynous vocals, ethereal, sentimental
mar24
comfy songs. its cool that the first one is like all electronic but mixed like actual black metal like mostly mid range shitわ very hhhhhhhhhsshhhh also crazy that its in 6 and the second song is in 5.

Technical Death Metal Brutal Death Metal, Progressive Metal dark, death, aggressive, dense, male vocalist

just dont have a bone for this kind of tech death i guess. feels unengaging and so middle of the road to my ears. cool cover

Harsh Noise Drone, Harsh Noise Wall mechanical, repetitive, anxious, nocturnal, abstract
mar24
been putting this one off for a min just cuz of length.
its good though. very slow, feels a bit meditative, but still a degree of intensity. my biggest problem is that its recorded like, live i guess? its got that thin live-recording quality that kind of hurts it from being something bigger. oh whale. last track is interesting. drums? contact mic abuse? then ends on some kinda beautiful type drone shi

970 (2024)Cloud Rap, Experimental Hip Hop, Trip Hop Emo Rap depressive, melancholic, ethereal, female vocalist, drugs
mar24
i know the genres say trip hop but i really did not know what to expect from this and it was just hella different. very unique sound for this scene i guess. still a lot of vocal processing which is what makes this so weird. i actually liked a good amount of songs, especially the last two. so damn sad. the album *is* kind of all over the place but im in a good mood now so ill let it slide
3.5 |
|
Cybergrind Sass, Avant-Garde Metal, Punk Rock, Mathcore heavy, LGBTQ, chaotic, technical, sarcastic
mar24
ok. dont ask me why i had to listen to this. we all have our vices. i can tell you though that while these buddies certainly know how to pack a punch and get loud behind the mic they spend far too much time dicking around for this to be worthwhile. that, and the god awful aesthetic (so over this MUH WEIRD EXTREME FETISHES ARE LIKE, TRANSGRESSIVE AND IRONIC!!!!!! thing) just make this leave a nasty aftertaste for me.
2.5 |

Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal abstract, technical, fantasy, disturbing, death
mar24
ugh i dont even want to talk about how fucked up today has been fuck land lords iykyk work was chill tho
shave rec. surprisingly very proggy and melodic, was honestly expecting some like obtuse caveman slam or something. pretty fun, also guitars sound really good to me idk they stood out for some reason.
3.5 |

Avant-Garde Metal, Dissonant Death Metal Death Metal male vocalist, surreal, dark, heavy, dissonant
mar24
uhehh yeah this kind of sucks. maybe cool in concept but it falls totally flat in execution. the melody interpolations just sound so goofy, and besides id much rather just have an ep of original material? its the same kind of weirdo avant garde metal though so i mean its tolerable

; ( (2023) [EP]Cloud Rap, Jerk Plugg, Emo Rap nocturnal, ethereal, sad, melodic, atmospheric
mar24
lowkey could see this growing on me i like the emotions and second track second half is some lit just feel like this is missing something or im not hearing smth on first listen
3 |

Cloud Rap, PluggnB Jerk
mar24
first track aight but i heavy fw the energy on the second one i like his vocals
3 |
|
p4in (2022) [Single]PluggnB, Emo Rap Cloud Rap
mar24
its aigjt im honestly hella over the whole repeat the entire song but sped up or slowed down thing like just end the song highkey or give it a quick fadeout i dont even really understand what could be enjoyable about it just feels lazy too like
3 |
|
mar24
kind of just regular goregrind stuff. mixing kind of sucks i guess. i can see why he took this down.

Goa Trance, Psytrance Acid Trance psychedelic, energetic, hypnotic, drugs, rhythmic
mar24
finally got my wither skeleton farm set up in my realm but i really need to tap into the wither rose technique cuz i get so many blazes its hurting spawn rates. worked hella in creative on an item sorter so i can automate that shitわ and i want it to have a gold sword smelter too idk i gotta keep working on it i suck at redstone stuff like that im too oldfor this shitわ
this is good but idk i find that a lot of “classic” goa just isnt super enjoyable for me i just love the more intense or weird stuff idk
3 |
|
Avant-Garde Metal, Dissonant Death Metal Death Doom Metal dissonant, technical, infernal, vulgar, sexual
mar24
its interesting to me that theres not really any aesthetics or themes in particular that connect projects and albums in the disso death/avant metal scene but you can still always kind of tell when something will be in that style lol.
its definitely interesting and conjures a quite unsettling and unorthodox atmosphere but i find a lot of sections just fail to hold my attention for very long. they aimed high but landed low i guess. id love to hear how they follow this up
3 |

Experimental Hip Hop, Industrial Hip Hop Hardcore Hip Hop, Industrial Hip Hop, Electro-Industrial vulgar, manic, aggressive, boastful, sampling
mar24
got like super bored redid all of my topsters from 2010-2019 realized i hadnt heard this in so long so decided to relisten before practice today. forgot how insanely fun and unique this album is. such a one of a kind vision, its such a crazy universe we live in where this exists like some shitわ like this making it to huge music studios being so professionally produced and recorded its just awesome. love all the risks he takes with this. literally every song is good filled with great lines he touches on deep themes and has a lot of humour too, each song got something special when it comes to instrumental its hard to complain ab this. maybe the only tracks i didnt love were im in it and blood on the leaves, just dont think they capture the same vibe as everythjng else. still good tho.

Noisecore quirky, rhythmic, raw, humorous, deadpan
mar24
giving these guys one more chance and they drop the ball again. somehow so boring. i like the cool rainbow electronics on the last track they should do rhat for like 10 minutes

its not bad but idrg the hype. new slam that sounds like old slam. doesnt feel very beatdown hxc to me.

it isnt bad but it felt like impenetrable i guess just couldnt not get totally into it i definitely need to relisten later lol. interesting atmospjere i guess

fucking. awesobe.
really love the subdued ping kind of grind sound this has, like using a muted kitchen pot as a snare. really good sound, super fun songs, im hyped for bros next full length
3.5 |

Power Electronics raw, dark, aggressive, dissonant, chaotic

man i dont get the hate at all i really fucked with this! just nonstop dirty wreeerrrooowerreeeeee screaching old school power electronics, quite intense! i had to listen at a lower volume than usual lol.

been hella listening to music this last few days im back in this damn game at least for this week lol. grinding thru old bandcamp saves rn.
scary noise stuff. doesnt do a whole lot for me but its intense and definitely murderous! i like the guitar on track 1
3 |

Post-Hardcore, Screamo
mar24
wasnt huge on the vocals but i really like the guitar work and these songs are very fun to explore i guess, cool ideas and structures and stuff. kinda falls off hella in the last leg tho

Screamo
mar24
decent passionate screamo. cant say i love it but it isnt bad.

Lowercase, Sound Art Ambient, Field Recordings atmospheric, surreal, urban, cold
mar24
decent little sound art installation pieces. sometimes comfy, sometimes unsettling…
gf and i got a new apartment, move in day is coming up so we spent all day packing up shitわ and just cleaning up. tryna get it done as quick as possible, but it looks like we’re gonna be on our own since we’re moving on easter lol. i didnt even realize ppl fr celebrated that shitわ until these last like 2 years of my life

FR022 (2023) [EP]Jungle, Breakbeat Hardcore Atmospheric Drum and Bass energetic, mechanical, uplifting, hypnotic, sampling

cant go wrong with this kind of stuff. fun jungle, bro knows how to mix breaks and pick loops. remixes are good, i liked the bonus track as well. prob never gonna revisit this tho

IDM, Glitch Ambient, Electroacoustic, Post-Industrial, Downtempo noisy, female vocalist, surreal, rhythmic, complex
mar24
man i really wanted to like this more but i just couldnt get into it. i really appreciate the strangely dark yet warm atmospheres she's able to conjure here, but i just cant connect with any of it past like... "ohh thats kind of cool i guess"
idk, ill try out some more of her stuff and maybe revisit this in the future
2.5 |

Retrospect (2007) [Compilation]Flashcore Speedcore, Industrial Hardcore, Power Noise complex, cold, manic, chaotic, dense

good stuff but it kind of feels like an underwhelming Xanopticon for most of the time? idk, not the greatest comp i guess
3 |
|
Microhouse IDM, Organic House, Minimal Techno warm, repetitive, playful, rhythmic, calm
mar24
im gonna be honest i really only listened to this because i love the cover art. this kind of house music isnt really my thing (im not even crazy into house anyway in the first place) but i decided to give it a chance anyway see if ive grown to appreciate this kind of stuff. well i guess i havent really. im not crazy about this kind of sound i guess, like how the drums sound very live and a bit loose and loop-based vocal samples. i think hes got a good ear for melodies though so this really isnt a bad listen, its at least tolerable, i just dont feel anything at the end of every track.
shrug

Noise, Harsh Noise Dark Ambient scary, dark, depressive, ominous, noisy
mar24
not bad. strong opening but it doesnt hold my attention too well as it closes out.

Brutal Death Metal heavy, anti-religious, hateful, male vocalist
mar24
first two tracks have some really good bits, love the grind influences here. lots of dope chugging, but it just feels like its missing something that could take it to the next level. would love to see a full length from them one day
3 |
|
Screamo, Midwest Emo
mar24
eh its performed with skill and theres certainly passion but this sounds like very very default midwest screamo stuff that a brazilion people have done before and after. not too keen on this one.
2.5 |

Dark Ambient, Lowercase Experimental, Field Recordings
mar24
comfy dark ambient stuff. its quick, but actually quite cohesive, i enjoyed the atmosphere. not much else to say though i guess

Gravity Falls Season 1
mar24
me and my gf have been watching this on and off for a bit now but these last couple of days we finally sat down and binged it for a few nights after work. ive seen a few of these episodes of course growing up, but never the whole season.
still a fun show, surprisingly good humour most of the time (especially whenever justin roiland makes an appearance lol (though his kind of improv feels lowkey way too aggressive and abrasive for this rather tame kids show)) and the episodes are usually decent stories. its lowkey racist af sometimes? like they do a ton of AAVE jokes and theres an ep where mabel is in a native american costume for some reason. i kind of expected there to be more lore building than there was but they really only do that in the last stretch of the season.
curious to see how they follow up that crazy last episode lol, i dont think ive seen a single s2 ep in my life. |
|
Merzbow / Sissy SpacekHarsh Noise Noisecore, Sound Collage raw, instrumental, dissonant, chaotic, dense
mar24
pretty good imo. i can see how this might strike someone as average or even disappointing, but for me it does everything i want it to. crazy laser squelching and massive crunching harsh noise, and the occasional brief intelligible noisecore bits helping to further engage me with this. i think both artists complement eachother well
3.5 |
|
Weiss / Cameron / HillFree Improvisation Experimental Rock instrumental, energetic, improvisation, dense, rhythmic
mar24
pretty great. really cool how during the improv sections it doesnt even feel like you’re listening to drums, everything is just a texture, and during the rhythmic beat driven sections everyone is able to constantly build around eachother, it creates this really cool living and moving kind of song.
3.5 |
|
Brutal Death Metal, Slam Death Metal
mar24
i was gonna 2.5 but both sides here have some damn good highlights. Vomiting Decayed Fecal Matter honestly a top 20 slam songs OAT, and the last stretch of Vomitous’ side is really fun. otherwise tho its pretty run of the mill slam, the end of IH’s side has what i assume to be a cover? it sucks a lot
3 |
|
Free Improvisation, Harsh Noise European Free Jazz improvisation, manic, chaotic, noisy, instrumental
mar24
basically hell free jazz. good way to pass the time, but its nothing super impressive i guess. very anxious sounding. i like that the album still opens up with 4 snare hits lol
3 |
|
Technical Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal Progressive Metal, Avant-Garde Metal uncommon time signatures, complex, abstract, warm, uplifting
mar24
quite interesting. way more epic than i was expecting lol. love the mixing, the biggest problem with tech bdm is that it can sound so mechanical and sterile, but this feels like its a living and breathing organism or something. dont think im ever gonna come back to this but ill be damned if that isnt the best solo of all time at the end of the first track. on that note its kind of interesting how melodic and conventionally death-metal some of this sounds. tghanks for the rec shave

Trap female vocalist, melodic

meh dont care her pitched up stuff will always sound better to me ig

The B (2024) [EP]UK Bass Neurofunk, Minimal Drum and Bass rhythmic
mar24
i dont even fucking know why i continue to pretend to keep up with her music shes never going to make another Depths of Winter i mean this stuff is like fine its good but i just dont really gaf about it in the grander scheme of things she was really onto some epic shit with Depths but i guess this is probably easier to make.
i dont really love any one individual song but its all pleasant and she uses interesting textures, comfy cold atmosphere this isnt bad by any means
3 |
|
Noisecore, Noisegrind, Grindcore lo-fi, raw, atonal, aggressive, manic
mar24
i have to assume the 7”s this compiles are all from the exact same recording session this thing sounds so damn cohesive its impressive af. theres some slight variation towards the end i think on Vacuum tracks there is a bit more raw noise or sparse playing. overall though this is great every section is awesome, its kind of a thinner style of noisecore but these guys are legends for s reason they know how to make it sound good
3.5 |

Goregrind, Gorenoise
mar24
super awesome ldoh style shitわ love it kind of a weird move in this genre to release a single but im fw it
3.5 |
|
Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal Technical Death Metal, Slam Death Metal heavy, science fiction, aggressive, technical, male vocalist
mar24
exactly what you would want from some weirdo bdm. plenty of amazing memorable grooves and riffs, splitting technicality, lots of chaos - jumping around to new parts or ideas - but it never sounds overdone or inappropriate. its fucking wormed. bitch
bonus tracks whatever kind of interesting to hear them do like a electronic song reminds me of that rainbow bridge bonus song
3.5 |
|
Noisecore, Noisegrind Harsh Noise heavy, anxious, dark, death, aggressive
mar24
fuck yes fucking yes this is it. just beautiful noisecore amazing blend of grind vibes too i mean this is literally just Noise Grind Power Death part 2 right
cant go wrong w this shitわ
3.5 |
|
Trap, Experimental Hip Hop Digicore, Trap Metal, Rage, No Melody noisy, chaotic, dense, raw, drugs
mar24
way more intelligible lol. love the beats i love how distorted they are, this kind of sounds like Someone Help on estrogen or something. idk shits just good like i said i love the higher pitched vocal shitわ and these really fuzzy instrumentals
3.5 |
|
Mud (2023) [EP]Experimental Hip Hop, Cloud Rap Plugg female vocalist
mar24
so fucking crazy literally feels like nothing has structure and its all just chopped up and filtered. honestly dont know what to say i have to relisten to this lmao
3.5 |

Deathstep, Tearout [Brostep] Riddim, Minatory, Briddim dark, noisy, aggressive, heavy, mechanical
mar24
i know i was hating on the deathstep shitわ but i saw this and i skimmed it and it seemed like it may actually be worth investigating. i was half right. the sound design is crazy like how shitわ is purposely clipping all the time it feels like it has this really cool and experimental edge to brostep that i fw and i think it blends deathcore in well (for the most part) but man those last few tracks really hurt this with all of the singing and shitわ. if a project like this could just stick to the bad ass fucking drops maybe emphasize some hella sound design and progression feel like if could easily be a 4
2.5 |
|
Briddim Tearout [Brostep], Future Riddim heavy, aggressive, dense, melodic, male vocalist
mar24
ffruhhhhh hmmmm uhhhh gggggaaahhgggggmmm mmmm meehhuhhhh
just sucks. doesnt do enough awesome “briddim” things and some of the deathstep ideas so outdone overplayed. last track had some hope i like the melodies but nah idgaf sorry mellogang
2 |
|
Mathcore, Sass Avant-Garde Metal rhythmic, technical, manic, complex, dissonant
mar24
they prove they still have it. great mathcore, though im not huge on the last track its a nice change of pace i suppose. wish this was mixed like their first album tho, nothing tops that shit
3.5 |

Fancy (2024) [Single]K-Pop, Contemporary R&B, Electropop Breakbeat, UK Garage, Bubblegum Bass, Atlanta Bass female vocalist, playful, rhythmic, melodic
mar24
finally back to making competent rnb. sounds good, great mixing imo and i love the breakbeat influences here. hoping whatever ep comes next is more like this but you never know in this industry.
3.5 |
|
Trap, Jerk Jerk quirky, rhythmic, male vocalist
mar24
lmfao this is so awesome. actually some of davids best bars ever here so ear pleasing and also funny asf. bro is flowing on this beat like water. marlon's verse is dope af too probably the only worthwhile thing ive heard from him. wish the outro wasnt so long feel like that holds this back from being a 4 but its still a good af track
3.5 |
|
Widdit (2024) [Single]Rage Tread, Lowend male vocalist
mar24
i mean i was just going on a shpeal about how his witchhouse shit is awesome and this obv isnt that so like... but i mean its good he proves that he wasnt just a one trick hm member he genuinely flows pretty great on this beat, plus its not a bad beat. i know rage beats kind of fell out of style and to a lot of people they just leave sour aftertastes but i dont hate them just yet so im fine w this. kind of hoping its a one off but i guess an album/ep of this wouldnt be worthless.
3 |
|
Witch House Emo Rap, Trap Metal dark, atmospheric, nocturnal, sampling, male vocalist
mar24
if you couldnt tell im just going thru a ton of the shorter 2024 releases/singles ive saved since i got some time today.
you know i really fw this it doesnt feel way different than what we usually get from turnabout but he hella taps into the emo shit way more than any other member of hm since ghost mountain and i love the very true witch house beats, no more keef big ass beats a return to salem really. i think if he kept it a liiitle more lowkey in the first half of better off alone it wouldve been his best track ever but its still pretty cathartic. excited to see where he goes from here now that hes not hm anymore
3.5 |
|
Noisecore Spoken Word heavy, chaotic, noisy, male vocalist, sampling
mar24
bro. im so tired of the anime samples. they have their place, and it isnt here. whats crazy is that this band actually had hella promise with their debut album and the weird drone/psych influenced and aesthetic it was cool but i guess they have totally forgotten about that shit. if this was just straight noisecore (WHICH THEY ARE ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD AT!!!) shit might be a 3.5 but its constantly bogged down by the stupid ass vtuber samples. ok some of them are good the one where she is talking about killing and skinning is lowkey funny and fits but like shit always takes me out. something yall might not realize about this genre is that its all about immersion and if you arent immersed then you can feel every 6 seconds pass you by because youre constantly waiting for the next microsong to start and the 6 minute releases start to feel like 12 minute ones. learn from your elders and just fucking play some music skip the samples yall.

Decoy (2022) [Single]Trap, Cloud Rap, Emo Rap female vocalist, repetitive, surreal

im sure fuckcomments and gayvalentinokhan gonna disagree with me but im just such a sucker for these really candy-sweet fuzzy electric trap instrumentals and high pitched blurry vocals. really like this, surprised i havent heard it before either since emorave is on it.

the original is great and i think this "remix" had potential but i really dont fw how messy some of the chopping is about halfway thru to the end. idk, plus i think its like, a weird thing to enjoy more than the original feels like oh yeah now i can ironically fuck with BOTDF. just enjoy the og bro, we all know its good you dont need to ecco jam it or chop and screw it.
3 |
|
mar24
crushing shit. amazingly hypnotizing and so well done. the anecdotes hurt and the poetry is pretty moving, i love the musical numbers too. i think they add an extra dimension to this and also make it even more engaging. i soo seriously wish i could see this in theatres or something, being so overwhelmed by the blue and hearing all of this intricate collage work on big theatre speakers would be amazing. if any art house theatres nearby are reading this figure that shit out and lmk

i like the production agree with everyone that this is a fresh sound for him i hope he pursues this shit im so over this latest era of hm stuff its time to grow and move on bro. lyrics tho i mean yeah his lyrics are always dumb but like i really dont give a fuck about what hes saying here im always gonna miss the awesome horror mysticism of early hm and i just should probably give up on ever hoping he might come back to that.

Trap, Cloud Rap Electroclash melodic, female vocalist, anxious, nocturnal, longing
mar24
pretty damn good, basically exactly what you would want from the cloud rap x electroclash snow strippers crystal castle ass shit that no one has really nailed yet up until now i guess. a whole ep like this would be cool. the vocals kind of remind me of magic is strong but obv a bit more intelligible
also rip gl0wrm that sucks ass. not that im familiar w her music at all but it just sucks when people so young part of such promising projects die so early on. shits just fucking evil i guess
3.5 |
|
mar24
im disappointed to say it just didnt land with me as well as i wanted it to. of course there are great scenes (spoiler: click to read) but i dont know i just didnt feel super invested in most of this. i really like how the narration skirts around what hes doing in the present, instead ruminating on the past, its kind of like hes regressing as he commits these crimes? the camera work is certainly captivating as well.

Psybient Psytrance rhythmic, psychedelic, ethereal, sampling
mar24
holy frickin crap. this was way better than i was expecting. feels very close to actual psytrance theres a lot of gated warbly synth lines etc you know but theres a toooon of experimentation and diversity here. the vocals on receptive are literally peak how did they think of that. i even fw the guitars on this. def gonna be relistening for a bit. only thing i dont fw in this genre is how they really dont be taking this shit seriously like theres a lot of humour which like i guess isnt bad i just think it kind of holds some of these projects ive heard back a bit.
3.5 for now |

Goregrind Slam Death Metal heavy, vulgar, disturbing, aggressive, dense
mar24
you know i was hella vibing w this first few tracks good ping awesome dense songs and i wanted to doubt shave but bro is right this lowkey just kinda gets more boring as it goes. its good, but i think its just lacking something that would bring it up to the next level.
3 |
|
mar24
i wasnt hella feeling this at first but the longer i let it sit with me the more i began to feel it. kind of a beautiful exploration of growing up. seeing destruction everywhere you go and internalizing it, realizing their is only really one outcome for you, embracing it. feel like im going to be ruminating on this for a long time. lots of beautiful shots as well, i love the very sparse dialogue and how it makes room for a lot of background noise and nature sounds as well. theres a weird mix of comedy in here too? idk i could do without it i guess but it lands well when it comes up (the bdm scene? lol)
been meaning to talk to fuckcomments about a particular scene, so bro if ur reading this bang my line, but the single shot where spoiler: click to read.
3.5 |

Psybient Psytrance, Ambient Dub psychedelic, ethereal, tribal, drugs, summer
mar24
whoa. wayyyy more rhythmic and beat-y than i was expecting. doesnt even really feel psybient anymore but i guess the eclectic instruments and general very laid back atmosphere put it into that camp anyway. the latin influences are so cool, i think they do them with taste and effectiveness, hardly cringeworthy! definitely more focused than their debut as well, but i dont think i love it quite as much. cant wait to hear what they did after this one.
3.5 |
|
Brutal Death Metal heavy, dark, energetic, aggressive, male vocalist
mar24
hoooly shit we are so fucking back
some of the best riffs in the entire fucking game, literally every song is fun and engaging despite being all very very dense and complex. feels like this (much like the rest of their catalogue) is like infinitely loopable. there may not be any ping but i dont think they even need it at this point. absolutely LOVE the dynamic shifts and atmospheric sections they implement them sooo well so refreshing to see a band in this scene figure out how to evolve and change their sound without losing sight of what made them special in the first place and without totally neutering their momentum and status. possible aoty?
4 |
|
Psybient Ambient, Space Ambient, Field Recordings atmospheric, cold, hypnotic, lonely, psychedelic
mar24
i mean egggghhhhhh its pretty but like... this is sooo fucking boring lol. psybient with a BIG emphasis on the -bient part. kind of lousily moves along and theres just nothing here for me to grab onto idk. i do sympathize with the concept but it just doesnt capture the emotions it wants to that well.

randomly got the urge to rewatch this with my gf. this is one of my dads fav movies, ive been meaning to rewatch it for some time too.
concept is so cool. my dad always used to stress to me how crazy it is whenever cruise is doing something and randomly makes a small adjustment to what hes doing - like he had to have been through whatever this is about a thousand times at that point but we only see the successful attempts. its awesome. i like cruise's character here too, its neat to see him play a coward that dies a lot. wouldve been dope if this went even harder on the kill scenes but im fine with them how they are. i think the love story between cruise and blunt is maybe at first a bit weird and forced feeling, but you have to remember cruise's character has basically spent years with blunt's character. its tragic, because she only ever just meets him, but he knows her inside and out. kind of effed up if you ask me. the only thing hella holding this back for me is that last act after spoiler: click to read. kind of neutered ending too but i mean feelsgoodmanamirite?

dont wanna write too much on this now i feel like this will continue to reveal itself to me for literally years after this initial listen, but i will say that im glad i waited to check this out. definitely would have totally passed this by without getting a good footing in psytrance and some psybient first. honestly a masterpiece; so many cool sound design experiments and trippy rhythmic stuff, lovely melodies and i love the eclectic instrumentation both live and electronic. its kind of unfortunate this is most peoples gateway into psytrance/psybient stuff because its obviously a bit silly coded and its easy to take at face value as like a meme band or something ohhh lol they do dmt and their name is funny but these guys are seriously talented its crazy. i expect their secodn album to be even better. a lot of creativity here some sections totally threw me off like some of the intricate break sequencing or the talk box vocals on divine lol

me and fuckcomments saw this on lb on our way home from austin last week and decided to watch it.
honestly whag a worthless movie. missteps everywhere and is just such a mess. for some reason it juggles these two unrelated stories (one is in spanish for petes sake) in an attempt to create this CRAZY TWIST! at the end but you can both kind of see it coming from like the halfway mark and also it literally is so unsatisfying and you’re just like alrigjt whatever idgaFUCKKKK and somehow feels so fucking long but also like it takes forever to “start” i remember looking at the time an hour in and thinking how are we still like establishing things this late in the movie. all of that is really just icing though what takes the cake for me here is the fucking ending dude im not even gonna spoiler this shitわ it doesnt matter. so the original hollowface is actually just the juan kid’s way of coping with the trauma of his ex convict father breaking into his house and assaulting him and his mother, and then he dies but i guess like the trauma haunts juan until juan like “faces” the monster and gets over it by writing his “story” alright so then fast forward and juan(now john yes thats the twist why did they whitewash him😭)’s daughter (hollowfaces grandaughter) discovers his story and reads it and… inherits the trauma?????? or is her grandpa’s ghost haunting her???? it literally doesnt even explain it!!
some shots were nice and there is a on-off light moment that i felt had good suspense and tension. this has some crazy nerdle play potential too

cleaned the apartment to this and tjen spent the last few songs eating leftover pizza and watching the rain outside.
its nice i like the calm mood but its a bit boring at times. a bit too “ambient” for my taste (i mean that in an aesthetic sense, not that it literally is very ambient). i much prefer the dub/reggae influenced psybient ive heard

such a god damn boring day at work. ive been working on strategies to improve my mood and mental game recently: listening to music less, not relying on other people to help me, reflecting every day etc., and honestly these last two weeks pretty much have flown by. work has gotten a lot easier and im not dreading the workload, im able to end every day satisfied and start the next one motivated. but god damn, not sure what happened today but i just was not feeling it. was so unmotivated all day pretty much. sucks ass it feels so blegh. im just glad its my friday lol
fucking FINALLY got around to this i bought the dvd for this like summer of last year and i just never got around to watching it until now. kind of an interesting story i guess i was expecting this to be something like the conjuring or insidious, but i think it honestly falls more in line with like paranormal activity meets annabelle or something. all the found footage is great, ethan hawke is dope as fuck, and there are some definitely creepy scenes. lowkey a big part of this was the family/marriage drama. kind of annoying how towards the end it feels like it just gives up almost but i guess it is what it is. it also just generslly feels like its missing something like nothing here elevates this to great heights for me
this scene literally was so amazing just the first 15 seconds is some crazy meta shitわ i love it its so genius Sinister [Boards of Canada - Gyroscope Scene]

pretty awesome. obviously the best example for this kind of filmmaking - i know i complained about the constantly moving cameras in Now You See Me but theres a lot of style and flair here that actually makes it kind of work. still a bit of a sensory overload but you just dont see movies getting made like this anymore. intense, builds up very nicely, and very cathartic i think. ending was some emotion vibes. i like denzel washington, walken did good too. i dont think i like this as much as deja vu though

had a show in austin (actually, we had fucking two, one on friday and one on saturday) and , even though im writing this like a few days after the fact i can still feel some leftover exhaustion from going there, playing, coming back, working a fucking opening shift, going BACK, then finally coming back home. never gets easier. i had fun though im glad i got to go with my friends and we made some decent money. the first show was kind of ass we just dindnt sound great and there was technical issues on top of some sloppy playing, but the second show more than made up for it. we got to open for fucking Snõõper so the thing sold out! our biggest show yet, and one of our tightest performances. sound guy was also great we sounded so amazing. overall a positive experience and at least now i know that i never want to double book austin shows again
we decided to listen to this otw home because i really just needed to give it a second chance i literally never listen to anything from this. at first my complaints kinda the same its all way too consistent and laid back it feels like theres no highlights everyones playing it way too safe and also it doesnt feel like a drain gang effort, theres of course some ecco tracks but theres hardly any thaiboy (not to mention his solo tracks really just aren’t good) and more than half of this 47 min runtime is just bladee. revisiting it over the past few days though i have actually come to appreciate the consistency a bit more. thaiboy still a problem but thats whatever i guess. honestly i just made a playlist of only the bladee songs and this hella works as a bladee solo album a nice solid 27 min. the ecco tracks would be a cool lil ep or like ecco+thaiboy trackd as a cool weird split collab thing. idk im fucking coping
i should also note that we listened to red light as well but honestly im still hella torn on it i need to continue to do some research on my own before a new entry for that

honestly loved it. im generally not a huge fan of merging live and electronic instrumentation but every element here just works so well to build this crazy super trippy psychedelic experience nothing sounds out of place or like feels jarring at all. literally all vibes. i love the aesthetic too such a good cover and great range of both psy and dub techniques but it never shies away from throwing in something new like vocals or nature samples. gonna be relistening a bit for sure, need to tap into shpongle ASAP

uheeeehhhhhuuugggggg i dont even know feels really hard to write about. super special movie. first hour is pretty standard fare found footage horror setup stuff its slow and i hate the damn characters but its pretty and i love the preoccupation with nature all the little curiosity shots and stuff. second half just goes batshit crazy no regard for the story or mystery just pure evil things happen and its constant nonstop cosmic horror shitわ. some really beautiful moments in here, i think he just needs to hone his direction in a little bit more, trim out the filler, pace it a bit better, keep up the incomprehensible nightmares, hes got a masterpiece brewing. apparently his new one comes out this year, cant wait to go see it with my friend fuckcomments!

i hate that i have to write a lot about this but seeing a good amount of users here seem to be liking it, and because i hardly hand out 1 star scores, its only natural that i at least explain myself.
i dont know really where to start but this is a fucking highway pile up mess of a release. a lot of songs here are the kind of expected schlop of neutered deftones alt rock/alt metal with quiet tension verses and “soaring” cathartic choruses. unfortunately, maggie lacks any kind of charisma or personality at all really (seriously she sounds bored out of her mind on most of these) and the instrumentals feel totally soulless and gutted, not to mention how quietly mixed they feel, which only works to hurt these songs more since it places even more emphasis on maggie. and the fucking lyrics. oh my god the lyrics. “Find who you’d die for / that’s who you’d live for” its like she isnt even really trying. shitわ sounds like my lifestyle determines my deathstyle.
there are a couple of “trap metal” tracks where maggie is scream rapping i guess. i dont like her voice at all, sounds so forced. a lot of the problems i have with stuff on this seem to be that they simply lack soul and passion. which brings me to the fucking… drum and bass song. last nail in the coffin for me. i dont have a problem with big artists making drum and bass (NewJeans) because there are tasteful ways to go about it, but it just feels insulting here. and that brings me to my next point. i thought a lot about “appropriation” while listening to this. appropriation is defined as “the act of taking something for ones own use, typically without the owner’s permission”, and further defined in regards to art as “the practice or technique of reworking images from well-known paintings, photographs, etc., in one's own work.” i believe there are good and bad ways to practice this.
Headsplit, to me, reeks of terrible appropriation. appropriation of all the y2k aesthetics it wants to dress up as (the fucking saw cover. STAY AWAY FROM SAW), mallcore metal and emo it wishes it was, and for some reason it tries to also appropriate a deep and rich area of electronic music seemingly just to jump on the trend (yes, dnb is becoming a trend whether you like it or not; think Sewerslvt and PinkPantheress). i dont have issues with the whole scene revival thing or dnb trending stuff, but this seriously fails to understand any of its source material. so clearly just a hopeless cash grab preying on impressionable younger kids who dont know that this lifeless record comes at the end of the line of a massive history of actually amazing music and scenes. maybe the worst part about this is that no one else seems to give a fuck. POPTIMISM!!! i dont really understand how you can give this higher than a 2.5 if you were really listening. signs of the end for this whole emo in the mainstream shitわ, but what do i know, maybe this will be like evanescence and come back as trve mall scene when im 50

a bit of an interesting remake. i was expecting it to be rather faithful to the original but they have a lot of leniency with the foundation of the story here. this one focuses a lot of misogyny, apparently cage would ask himself during rehearsals "what would a belligerent misogynist say here?"
i wish it was more visually consistent or at least bold. cage does a good job here. ending is more painful than the original's i think. i didnt watch the version with the bees scene but that scene is fucked up.

really the only thing connecting all of kelly's movies is probably just how high concept they are. i do agree with some sentiments that kelly expanding this idea of "the box" kind of ruins one of the main appeals of the original story but i still think this is fun and to an extent thrilling. i was certainly watching closely to try and figure out the mystery lol. i fw the message and shit theres some beautiful ass moments in here but i think on the whole it kind of misses me. someone needs to give this dude like 250 million dollars and the cast of babylon, this is the end, and infinity war combined.

it feels like william peter blatty just fucking gets it. he just knows what a story is supposed to do, and he knows exactly how to put a story onto a screen. though, it definitely helped since he wrote the book and then had a lot of control over the movie. every frame fits as much information as possible, all the dialogue feels weirdly alien and humorous - a double edged sword of both wit and existentialism. theres definitely a ton of stuff i probably missed, id love to rewatch this soon.
aside from the masterful cinematic craftsmanship, the story here is quite touching. if the exorcist explored the existence of pure evil in our world, the ninth configuration asks if there is really any good left for us.
i love the hard switch in the middle from an offbeat comedy to a dark philosophical crisis of faith. the spoiler: click to read will be stuck in my head forever

just a great movie. you cant help but love forest whitakers character, and i love how languid the pacing feels while still being so inviting and both interesting or comedic - always engaging even during the “filler” bits, but those work to help flesh out our characters or continue to build the world of ghost dog. i dont know how this dude went on to make The Dead Don't Die.

saw in theatres 35mm with friend.
impossible to write about and i just have to come to terms with it. somehow, david lynch was able to create a piece of art that is infinitely deep and truly honestly timeless. a movie where every single second matters; theres no breaking it down and trying to wrap a bow around whatever you think the solution is. 134 minutes that you could probably pick apart more exhaustively than other directors entire filmographies. im beating around the bush because im afraid to dig into this because i just dont know where to damn start. basics: its all beautiful amazing shots, genius camera work, stunning editing, lovely soundtrack, great performances (seriously). perfect balance of traditional genre tropes and lynch’s own magical fascination with the spiritual - love when directors ask you to just suspend your beliefs and watch - and theres an edge of experimentation that really elevates this to a level beyond storytelling. that mother fucking ending bro.
and the damn monkey.

you know, i agree, this really had potential. it had potential to be funnier, scarier, more disturbing, more complex and interesting, more abstract or weird, but it falls short in every one of these categories because it just doesnt know which one to pick.
lowkey feels like kevin smiths house that jack built feelsike he’s critiquing his own life or something especially because in the beginning it credits him as “KEVIN SMITH: DIRECTOR, WRITER, PODCASTER” or something like that. also literally fuck johnny depps character i think that “that was a bad character “ is like a weak criticism but genuinely every time he is on screen he drags the movie down even further SOMEHOW

im still gathering my thoughts on this, but damn is it amazing. really honest exploration of what it means to be an artist, and what it feels like to experience grief. i dont know how to word what im feeling, but you should read fuckcomments’ entry for this because he puts it into words better than i ever could. such a powerful and truly eye watering ending.

apologies to my quirkbros but i just did not get this. so hard to care about anything going on and the narrative is so weak it was a real struggle trying to understand what the story even was. as others have pointed out it feels like it wants to be a few different things but isn’t particularly good at any of them. it does look very pretty though, good job there. theres a few good scenes too.

way more subtle than i expected it to be. very dry and the humour kind of creeps up on you; its good, i enjoyed it. not much else to say, i like that the ending is either trying to say that work is necessary, just find something you dont mind or fuck white collar jobs resort to bone breaking labour

girlfriend decided to put this on because we saw a tiktok of the grandma diner scene.
really stupid and honestly such a mess i dont even really understand what this is trying to do. the very “who?” cast and the ridiculous premise just make me wonder why anyone on earth would want to watch this movie. there are one or two really good scenes that i like (when they are all staring at the tv, for one) but just about everything else here is awful.

doesnt really strike me personally or touch me on an emotional level but its still very good.one of the few movies im glad has an insane runtime like that, it uses every minute effectively and for a story this big every second helps. great performances, and a stunning and intense ending sequence.

feel like theres literally no right answers. no right way to think about this, talk about this, absorb it or even hate on it. anti art? "tries to be nothing so it ends up being everything" ive sat on this entry for a few days now and i cant come up with anything i think is coherent so im just going to mention some things and talk about them.
one of the few movies that genuinely feels "American" (up there with Harmony Korine's works and Rob Zombie's general approach and imagery). it seems prophetic in that it kind of predicted an entire movement of digitally obsessed post-9/11 meta-ironic sincerity and wild unorthodox storytelling; constantly fascinated with violence and drama but at its heart nihilistic and twisted; a mindset that grew up with fantasy and epic stories, afraid of authority and unsure of revolution. im not going to lie, i was really polarized for the first maybe 1.5-2 hours of this. plot/story wise felt so impossible to grasp, but it always had my attention. Timberlake's "dance" scene has stuck with me every day that has passed since i saw it, genuinely beautiful (i feel like i overuse that word but i cant think of a better one), and the entire ending sequence was just jaw dropping. i love how this film embraces faith despite the wild sexual and needlessly violent influences or the misanthropic and absurd undertones. Dwayne Johnson is a great actor. i said it. i love his acting. the way he plays off spoiler: click to read actually makes me so sad its so effective, and its amazing when he just fucking accepts that he is the spoiler: click to read. i dont think theres anything wrong with this movie per se but its just such an information overload i feel like i need a month before i consider a higher score. apparently there is a 6 hour directors cut in the works which would be awesome to see i mean how much more could he fit into this.
two things to finish this off: 1. the found footage sequence to open this is kino as fuck 2. shoutout to fuckcomments for the blu ray that i watched this with.

im sorry lmao but you just cant beat this. nothing in human history, nothing in 10, 50, maybe 100 years can even dream of holding a candle to For Liza. surprisingly very melodic, especially on the bookending 10 or so minutes - but i guess it makes sense given its context. probably the only truly emotional flashcore, the only release in this genre that is more than just wild sound design experiments, or whatever ascension bullshit La Peste was originally preaching about with his particular brand of it. that isnt to say this is mild - no far from it, in fact this might be the most insanely complex and dense music ive ever heard. around the 40 minute mark i just totally lost track of everything and the flurries of kicks and lasers and waves of delay and tempo changes all meshed into a cohesive wall of plastic, squishy, bright rainbow sounds. the ending is just jaw dropping, i’d’ve never guessed that Laurent had it in him to create something as beautiful and calm as that closing sequence. shows so much maturity; feels like what flashcore autechre would actually sound like.
may lower the wtc.xtc score because of this.

wonderful reimagining of some of sotos’ works. honestly, sotos would probably be one of the most revered and appreciated artists in all of power electronics if his whitehouse contribution tracks sounded anything like this. while sotos’ originals certainly have their own merit and purpose, i think its his unflinching and cold, nihilistic approach that makes him such an sour sight to most people. it feels like bladh treats these audio clips with a much more serious and empathetic attitude, though. the opening collage is kind of perfect, a whirlwind of torture and abuse, constantly sucking you further in until it explodes into the next track. its really quite effective. unfortunately, i think the noise here isnt anything too special. sure, its good, but it leans further into drone territories than i might have preferred. though, i do think this sort of laid back attempt at power electronics has its pros, it complements the themes here nicely regardless. bladh also utilizes sotos’ own voice as he reads excerpts from Proxy. i think sotos’ writing has a very interesting impact in an audio setting, and maybe in part due to his very unconfident and quietly rushed delivery. it feels like rambling, but he’s quite sure of what he will say next. it blankets itself nicely with the drones. bladh also apparently does some vocals, though i’ll be honest i couldnt really hear them, or i didnt notice them at all.

FWWM is playing in a theatre not too far from me on saturday so i needed to finally get through this. its been a bit dreadful for me in the past because ive heard that a lot of these episodes are filler shit since lynch p much left production up until the last couple of episodes, which is true because a lot of this is boring as fuck. really strong first 8-10 episodes i think but then it does so much random bullshit with bobby and james and nadine and norma's stupid ass convict husband and the entire fucking catherine line is so stupid im sorry i dont care at all whenever josie or catherine or eckhardt or whatever are on screen its always literally the stupidest shit ever im fucking glad their entire plot lines ended with spoiler: click to read. and on that note, is that seriously the fucking ending of this? it just ends like that? fuck you david lynch. i guess i have to watch the return now |

finally, all finished with the first two star wars trilogies.
goes without saying really that this is the best prequel, hands down, and i honestly might consider it to be the best star wars movie period. i dont think its quite as impressive as Return of the Jedi (costumes and real set pieces will always be preferred over cg) but its the only one in this series that really makes me feel something. anakin’s transformation is just so fucked up, its complete pure evil. his murderous rampage so devastating, and then the final fight with obi wan is just so sad. theres a couple scenes in here that were kind of gay, like when he becomes darth vader and palpatine tells him he killed padme, or when padme is naming the children feels so like last minute thrown in there lol but i can overlook these scenes. i also loved any scene that yoda fought in, hes so bad ass. r2’s fight scene in the very beginning is also really awesome.

honestly, in my life ive probably only ever seen this two or three times as a child, so going in im essentially watching it for the first time. i remembered a few fighting scenes (obv the arena one) but not much else.
its definitely the weakest, at least for me. it spends a lot of time engrossed in the politics and weirdly unlikely relationship between padme and anakin. i dont know i mean shes like way older than him and he acts like a damn baby sometimes and shes basically the president of something so its strange that she even still fw him after hes like yeah i think we should just force everyone to believe the same thing. its still good though i enjoyed it, it just doesnt feel as awesome or magical as any of the other ones.

finally getting around to rewatching the prequels now.
this one is probably the star wars movie i watched the most as a kid, way too many bad ass scenes and awesomeness. i loved all of the big monsters and fun action sequences. one thing that they definitely improved on in the prequels is fight scene choreography - seriously, the darth maul fight sequence at the end is just brilliant. the force field section to force patience is so cool. the cg is pretty jarring though. one thing i love about star wars these days is the very admirable and intense effort to use purely practical effects and real set pieces (of course im not talking about the cg lucas added in later - it looks horrible imo) along with real puppets or costumes. of course, i understand that its much easier to simply greenscreen or cg something, and theres a higher level of potential (which lucas will learn more about in the coming sequels to this). he does his best here, though, and its still watchable and very enjoyable.

really, its way better than i thought. i knew Frozen Niagara Falls wasnt going to be my cup of tea, and i was really worried this would kind of strike a similar chord (of dissonance) in me, but to my surprise this is actually much more noise focused then FNF. prurient spends a lot of time and energy crafting really intriguing and engaging textures on a lot of these, and while im still not entirely sold of death industrial like this i have to admit that i can totally understand why this might be the crown jewel of the genre. unfortunately it is way too long and especially at the end it drags on like crazy especially those buddha tracks. overall i appreciate this and i like enough tracks to say that this is at least good enough.

a respectable effort, and im glad Dominick is able to create releases like this that do gain as much notoriety and success as they do so that he can keep making the stuff i do care about, but good god damn do i not care about this.
i find a lot of his synth work cursory and mind numbing. none of his melodies stick with me, the actual synth tones themselves sound either so plastic and cheap or just plain grating to me. im not totally against this style of industrial, i think its worked in some places like Uboa‘s work or some Very Little Fun songs IIRC, but i just really dont fuck with the execution of it here.
now, there are songs on this that i do enjoy. there are a handful of songs where he dips further back into his harsh noise/power electronics roots and the outcomes are honestly pretty good (Frozen Niagara Falls p.2, Lives Torn Apart) and in general he is always utilizing harsher elements that i enjoy on pretty much every track (Dragonflies was a standout to me). but i just dont think any of that can make up for the total slogfest that the rest of this is.
more power to you if you like this and Dominick if he keeps making this, but im going to happily stick with my harsh brickwalled prurient instead.

really good! normally, i dont care at all for any power electronics that loves taking its time with the drone/death industrial songs but 1) they actually make sense here as they help tell the story and 2) the actual PE on this is honestly some of the best ive ever heard in my life. not only is he delivering with such ferocity and intense passion but he has such a good ear for what makes a PE track effective and worthwhile. pummelling noise that swells and bubbles underneath his vocals and goes fucking wild off of the chain when he isnt screaming at you. the “call and response” shitわ in Humiliation was literally jaw dropping so fucking cool
thanks for the files shave.

fucking beautiful as a god damn fucking sick little bitch.
i was honestly kind of hesitant going into this. the plot seems kind of boring at first glance, i felt like i would find most of these dudes pretty insufferable too, and im only really watching this because its mark pellington, but damn am i glad i put it on. its true, these guys are fucked up and evil, but in this way it reminds me of Ett hål i mitt hjärta [A Hole in My Heart].
to me i watched this as a kind of deeper and very heartfelt examination of masculinity and what it means to grow up - not coming of age but really grow up and get fucking old. there are some seriously, i mean seriously fucking raw and beautiful scenes in here. both content wise and visually; mark pellington i know from The Mothman Prophecies is amazing when it comes to visual storytelling and eye catching imagery, this one was no exception. so many amazing and creative shots in here, plus a huge diversity of camera work, this shitわ looks good af.
my biggest complaint though is definitely the soundtrack. probably some of my least favourite music ever but it does make sense in this context because i guess its like what alt-dads listened to in the 80s and shitわ so you know i can honestly look past it.
and, i just have to say this so that it goes on record, but spoiler: click to read was literally the most fucked up beautiful thing ive ever seen in my life i dont think those images will ever leave my brain

the only thing gf and i could decide on.
expecting anything less than typical blockbuster hollywood epic schmuck makes you an asshole. its fun sometimes, really stupid other times, i just dont care about it that much. i really like woody harrelson, hes a great actor and i like his character. andy samberg is annoying af here though. i think its interesting how this movie is about the 4 magicians but mark ruffalo is actually our main character for most of this, theres really only like one scene where we see whats going on behind the scenes for our magicians. the apartment fight scene was awesome. the twist at the end was so damn stupid. i also really dislike that they used so much cgi in this, it wouldve been a 3 or 3.5 if they made the magic here as real as possible. also, fuck this camera work dude every single shot the camera is spinning and im ngl noticing that made me slightly sick 🤢

i lowkey didnt wanna listen to anything new so another relisten entry.
just ridiculous. some of these songs feel like no one could have written them they are so stupid (genius), and nothing else, all female extreme metal included, really covers the same area as Burmese does here. of course the star of the show is the final track. proto encenathrakh free bdm type stuff? though its more like grindcore type playing, and its also multiple takes at once, putting it closer to the end of Meshuggah’s spoiler: click to read. still, very respectable and highly appreciated.

feb24
honestly still so insane to me. i absolutely love the ethos here and just how much Masonna is actually able to accomplish in this format. maybe the closest to “noise grindcore” ever? something i found interesting was that for this project (and especially this era of it) he took a lot of influences from psychedelic music (hence the cover?) and relistening to it knowing that it makes a lot of sense. a lot of the noise here feels so colourful and trippy i guess and there is a weird smoothness to everything that i dont hear in any other noise really. it really never gets old, i need to continue tapping into his other stuff

gf wants to get thru the conjuring universe.
im a bit conflicted. on one hand, this is pretty predictable and whatever, not to mention how little it cares about world building (something i loved about the conjuring) and the whole magical black character shitわ? oh my lord 😭
on the other hand, this is shot just beautifully. wonderful stills, curious and anxious handhelds; i love the shots of the doll - we never see any actual movement, the doll doesnt do anything, yet its the center of attention for this whole movie. very wonderful scares here and there as well.
ill have to think on this more. for now, no rating.

as expected, this one feels a lot less like a documentary than the previous two installations and more like a meditation. some real beautiful shots of the california wilderness in this. despite avoiding humans entirely, the human presence is nonetheless very relevant and sometimes impossible to ignore in this. highways built into mountains, dirt roads for military personnel, waterways for big freight ships to slowly pass through, quarries and forest fires to strip the earth. in some ways, this is kind of what i wanted from El valley centro. this feels like a very true yet abstract way to dissect its subject. benning always reminding us that no area is safe from mankind. the shot of the helicopter taking water from a secluded mountain lake, a scarred and barren dirt plane with nothing but two out of commission fence posts. it feels like a proper summation of what he aimed to do with his california trilogy.
its interesting to me how he aimed to tie each film together with beginning and ending clips, stating that its all one big puzzle. ill have to think on that some more.

alright. so. Sdre 30 anniv diary tour, and theyre back (new music). its kind of what you might expect from this sort of very long overdue sophisti-alt-rock reunion and oh its 7 minutes too so really i dont think any of this is catching me off guard. it doesnt really go anywhere, but the guitars sound lovely and i enjoy the atmosphere towards the end. not big on jeremy’s vocals but i can look past them. drums sound very sterile? not quality but the actual way theyre being played here, dont love that snare. curious to see what comes next.

Los (2001)jan24
part 2. focuses on los angeles. i suppose the most enlightening part about this is just how big the city really is. benning is able to capture 35 totally unique shots of very different areas, with plenty of different feelings and moods. there is of course a greater emphasis in this one on human life. i suppose it makes for a more visually stimulating experience, but i prefer his shots of nature more. maybe im too cynical.
again, this feels much too close to a documentary to rate. something tells me though that i wont feel the same about sogobi… we’ll have to see what tomorrow holds, im too tired for anymore landscape cinema tonight.

jan24
starting his california trilogy. if you dont know, each movie is ~90 min of 35 different 150 second still shots of whatever the subject matter might be.
El Valley Centro focuses on juxtaposing human technology with the natural beauty of the great central valley. it seems pretty obvious to me, that this is a very eco aware documentary. ginormous natural gas fires placed side by side serene forests and vast bodies of water, huge areas of land culled for a profit. its interesting, but i wouldnt say it strikes any profoundly resonant chords within me. the images benning presents are quite plain, telling me that he isn’t necessarily taking a strong stance, rather its just simply a showcasing.
this work feels much too close to a documentary then some of his other, a bit more abstract and touching works, so i have a hard time rating it really. perhaps after watching all of the trilogy my mind might be a bit more open to rating

decades into his career and he is still fascinated with american landscapes and culture. each shot gives us enough time to take in the full breadth of the space before a car or two pass by, then benning moves onto the next in a similar fashion. a lot of diversity in these shots as well, filming in all kinds of biomes and climates.

well, 12 years later, what has FUCK THE FACTS been up to? well for one Mel got even better at vocals, and i believe here she is also joined by one of their guitarists which definitely adds a nice dynamic to the songs. they also shaved off a lot of their violent mathy tendencies it seems and play a more straightforward, slightly sludgy and depressive kind of grindcore that i found to be both decently exciting and quite unique. unfortunately though, they still suffer from the really mindless autopilot soft passages. this is also a bit on the longer side (i know 38 min is not long at all but in terms of what these guys are doing it might as well be a 2xLP) and wouldve really benefited from a more tight tracklisting. still, i enjoyed it. i may dig further later

growing up i was always fed the idea that all nu metal was worthless. industry plant musicians picked up by major labels to whine and complain so that 14 year olds in hot topics would buy their music and merchandise. soulless, pointless edginess, packaged and sold for a decent profit.
all that i can hear on this album is nothing but ambition and vision. a lot of boiling emotions and fantastic, cathartic performances. corey is a really talented singer. i dont always love his lyrics and his clean passages can be wild swing hit or misses, but hes undoubtedly good at what he does. its crazy this is only an hour long, they pack in so many ideas across a bunch of different songs and it never drags on or loses its charm. i also respect the fuck out of the outro track. i know its kind of not the best execution but i appreciate the dedication to ending with a bang.

on the hunt for some female fronted djent and this seemed promising but unfortunately the worst part about this is… the vocals! she’s no doubt talented but her style is just way too all over the place and is reminiscent of all of the worst tropes of nu metal in combination with some melt banana ear grating shrieks. i dont think the music is competent enough to make up for that either. it’s respectable and well put together; technically impressive at times and there are lots of great ideas being thrown around but nothing feels cohesive enough for me. i wanted to like this more, but its probably going to take a considerable style switch up or evolution before i can say i rlly fw these guys

CHALLENGE MODE: DO NOT MENTION ANY BANDS WHEN TRYING TO DESCRIBE LEFTYFISH every track is intricate, precise, feels so meticulous in how they find space for the double vocals, sax, piano, guitar AND the grinding drums but it never feels choked out, sterile or mechanical. there is a very loose feeling to the whole album despite the band being tight as fuck. the sax screams never get old, the piano adds a crazy new layer to all the ridiculous shredding on the guitars, and her fucking vocals are so awesome. when she isnt bird chirping or screeching she has these really fucking intense hatred gutturals that sound so aggressive literally fills me with such hype when i hear them. it’s unfortunate they have not released anything else yet, i could probably listen to another 10 albums of this shitわ

im not sure why i felt compelled to revisit these guys’ entire discog again but here i am.
despite riding the coattails of knife party and skrillex pretty damn hard, they actually bring a surprisingly great combination of styles to the table that makes their music still worthwhile and honestly dare i say even a bit influential? they were able to capture a sound knife party had been working on and fuse it with the more sophisticated brostep and sound design trademarks of skrillex. the result is a fairly listenable and sometimes kind of impressive 6 track ep. i wont lie, its a major product of its time. the reggae elements still sound bad, a handful of the drops are way too silly to enjoy, and there are weird choices made here and there that come off very amateurish. still, i cant hate on this at all. i get why i loved it so much in middle school.

pretty ridiculous. in some ways their least dense material ive heard so far. also a good bit of slammage on the first two tracks, but of course the star of the show is the last one. real unsettling, the vocals being kind of quieter intensifies that. curious to see where they continue to go from here

lole. the fact that anyone could mistake this for enmity is just hilarious. i suppose its fair in a way since the dude in enmity literally sent this as their demo but cmon, be a little skeptical.
i dont really know what to make of it. a youtube comment that likened this to No Le$$ and Plutocracy grouped them all under the term "dankcore" so i guess thats what it is. so far, not a huge dankcore fan. its silly, its sloppy, but if youre going to be silly and sloppy you need to be charismatic, and this just doesnt have charisma. i guess its worth looking into if youre into weirdo metal. some kind of litmus test

continuing the shuggers track ratings.
unfortunately, to the detriment of this album, they had to include Future Breed Machine. not only is it the best song here, but in my opinion i think that it is so good it kind of hurts the entire rest of this. only worse that its first too. this is a good album though. lots of cool stand out moments spread throughout, and they take on an interesting fusion style that they never do on any other albums, so its certainly worth exploring for anyone interested in the band.

i was going to round out 100DR!!!'s discog but those last 2 releases really put me out of the mood.
this is... good? i guess? its kind of an important album i think because this literally predicted Black Parade and Danger Days and then shit like Pierce the Veil and friends, but at the same time bites so hard on everything MCR had already done up to this point (fittingly released just months after Three Cheers... hmm). they do a lot more upbeat instrumentals here and a slew of theatrical vocal deliveries that you either hella fw or die of crige when you hear. if it wasnt already apparent enough how much these guys were worshipping MCR they literally name drop them in the lyrics of the first song :sob:
that said though i really cant hate on this, its competent and theyre good songwriters, i wasnt bored at all and even though the hooks or parts arent as cathartic or memorable as on their s/t, its still good stuff.

randomly compelled to revisit this and then listen to some more of their stuff.
my biggest problem with this is honestly the production. i know, i shouldnt expect so much from shortlived myspace nintendocore and thats true but god damn, listen to that intro track! it sounds fucking crazy, its lowkey some djent. why on earth they did not tap into that production for the entire rest of this? beyond me. wouldve probably made this a 3.5 if im being honest. would stand out a lot too.
otherwise, my opinion is unchanged on this. rainbow road is kind of amazing though, honestly emotional second half and songs like that give me hope that one day my endless trawling of this shitty cyber nintendo death slop will uncover a band who took themselves just seriously enough and had just enough talent to crank out a demo of the most exciting, heavy and emotionally charged music in this style before never releasing anything ever again. one day.

i really like the cover.
its probably the best of their earlier works. a bit more focused on deathcore, they hadnt yet figured out the djent tone, but dont let that fool you - this thing is about as djenty as you can get without an 8 string. very technical. its not great but its fun, i enjoyed a lot of the breakdowns and even melodies they sometimes throw into the mix. for some reason they thought it was a good idea to end the album with a memphis rap song?

been mulling over this entry for a couple days now. feel like im not in the right position to be so properly reviewing something like this yet, i do have my thoughts, but they arent so organized. as best i can ill just jot down some of what came to mind while i watched this
i really like how Glazer asks us just to listen in the beginning. some people compare the beginning overture to a "blinking" moment - our eyes are closed in the beginning, and then we 'unblink' - but thats something i'd associate more with the methods used in Landscape Suicide or even Love. i know Glazer to be quite the visual storyteller, that much is true. so to me, opening with a black screen (nothing) and just music tells me that what we are about to watch places an emphasis on listening. just listen. and its true. i dont particularly think the visuals or composition in most of these shots are necessarily "beautiful", certainly not on par with the visual monster that Under the Skin is, they seem second priority to Glazer, and, as i said, the audio is what is really important here to me. Usually sparse dialogue only further helps to bring the background noise, the gunshots and industrial machinery and agony from across the concrete fence right front and center. the camera work is cold, almost always still, distant, as detached as it could possibly be, Glazer trying as hard as he can to simply be a spectator, but not even he can escape the anguish and weight of this injustice. In particular, im thinking of the shot where spoiler: click to read.
the shots spoiler: click to read took me by total surprise. im... still not quite sure what to think of them entirely. i'll say this though: in a lot of ways, they remind me of Lars Von Trier. specifically, in The House That Jack Built when Jack explains to Virge spoiler: click to read. also during these scenes an unsettling score plays, much like in the comparable scene within Jack.
and the ending was just ridiculous. floored me. maybe one of the best transcendental scenes of all fucking time? surely a top 10.

Harsh Noise Wall
jan24
im kind of surprised im the first one to be rating this, but i guess its a pretty non canonical longer release - a random one off of Ivan’s that was all apparently recorded and released in just a few months, the only surviving piece of its existence is this compilation’s bandcamp page.
i really like the presentation here. its very plain and straightforward. all 10 parts of the Black Death series, as well as three of the albums that followed. the only thing not included here is Low Blossoming. i wonder why.
all in all, its a rather decent collection of some harsher, bigger feeling walls. occasionally very lightly dips into some ANW textures but never loses its rough edge. very consistent, but there are highlights. i cant say i really recommend it - youre probably better off listening to one of the longer releases by vomir/wallmaster/necrotik fissure

jan24
i mean. its not horrible. its pretty boring though. cronenberg's story telling is clearly not as sharp as it needed to be for this. i found that the combination of a lot of the shots, actors, performances and music really took the serious edge off of this for me (which is obviously not a good thing). the spoiler: click to read fight scene was brilliant though.

a similar sound to what he was doing on Truth, but i think its a bit less focused on constructing a real narrative and instead is just a straight ahead moombah track. vague and slightly emotional lyrics that could probably be impactful but are kind of just ear filler to me now. lovely melodies. the structure is kind of boring, but the song is still a classic and doesnt really get old.

Disprove’s isnt as good but its still a fun neuro song, not too much to say but its quality stuff. Audeka steals the fucking show though, whirlwind production and it sounds like the breakbeats are panting in your ear - seriously, its crazy something this out there was released through monstercat. batshit. the last track is unfortunately kinda mid, its a bit too melodic i think, ruins what makes the OG so good in the first place

good story, touching in some spots, i appreciated the creative costumes and creatures. i really fuck with this being set up as a kids movie but is gorey as fuck, but i just cannot get over the camera work and direction here. it feels like im watching a disney movie, if that makes any sense. im like constantly being pulled out of the world by all of these really ugly transitions and soulless shots i just cant stand them idk. feel like this had a lot of potential that it didnt really capitalize on. beautiful ending though

been wanting to watch this since it came out, but i just never got around to it, but now that im mooching off someone’s max account i finally decided to start it. and since it snowed today i decided to call off work and just stay home with my gf and chill all day.
very excellently paced and quite engaging. despite being literally about the corruption of russia/soviet, i found that it didnt really come across as anti commie propaganda, like most westernized media depictions of it do. lots of beautiful scenes, and it is fairly easy to understand without being too dumbed down or too simple; there is lots of areas for artistic flexibility which i appreciate.
one of the main reasons i even considered watching this originally was because the score is so highly rated here. funnily enough, i didnt care for it all that much.

still just as chilling and emotional as it was 10 years ago. i never understood why - and i still dont understand why - this song always makes me tear up, but it does every time. i dont think theres anything else quite like it. represents so much to me: the time, the place, the feelings, the people, the events, the loss and the gain. a strangely large patch of my heart. magical when the female vocals come through, they still feel so cinematic even though i expect them every time now, but ill never forget the first time i listened to this how blown away i was. such a lovely synth lead too, its so awesome when he expands on it in the last chorus. apparently Tristam has really fallen off since his glory days as a monstercat singles artist, but i always hold a special place for the beautiful EDM he was playing around with during this time.

struggles with a really boring and formulaic set up and ends with a beautiful strong cronenberg bang. seriously, when everything comes together at the ending and it all climaxes, thats some crazy shitわ. a lot of reviews (typically higher end) praise this one for its depiction of a broken family, child abuse, etc., but other than where its painfully obvious (candy’s bruises, wife’s therapy sessions, the climax) i dont really see it, it was more about the mystery for me i guess.

Harsh Noise Wall noisy
jan24
at first i had some confused ideas about this project, but after doing some meditation i think ive figured them out.
bobby maggard says “NO mastering … NO purpose … NO substance … NO contact” in the description of this. it strikes me as curious. a look at the title. “Lustful and Unwilling”. two very different feelings, it doesnt sit right to couple them. the cover art depicts a blood splatter scene, perhaps directly from our unwilling snuff victim. “NO purpose”. it all happens for no reason. whether lustful, or unwilling. perhaps why “and”. but “NO contact” is what catches my attention. maggard is merely a spectator, not even an operator (“NO mastering”), a bystander letting it all go down. watch, record. bobby is the snuff artist in this case? “NO substance”. no, it means nothing to our spectator. or maybe it means nothing at all.
quite crunchy and thick.

itzy’s newest ep (honestly i consider it an album, its about as long as the canon run of tracks on Crazy In Love) another disappointment. after an unimpressive run of very boring and middle of the road tracks (though Dynamite was a bit good), we get to the heart of this release, which is all of the girls’ first solo songs. yeji, lia, and ryujin’s i am obviously uninterested in. i enjoyed ryujin’s choruses, lia had an alright instrumental. im disappointed with chaeryeong’s, its a boring synth/dance pop song when i would have much rather she slayed on an itzy trap banger, but alas, i suppose thats not her shtick. i enjoyed it a bit, maybe id listen to it again, i dont know. the last track is alright, but like everything else its either quite forgettable or nothing special.

probably the most notable aspect about this movie is that it is essentially Paranormal Activity 2, 5 years before it came out and 2 years before the original came out. motivated by something, a young couple install security cameras around their house and end up catching something paranormal on them.
the problem with In Memorium is that it really doesnt want to be a found footage movie. every camera (and there are WAY too many to reasonably keep track of as a viewer) is fixed in such a... regular shot kind of way? i dont know how to put it, but none of the shots feel like security camera shots. camera wise, this is probably as close as anyone got to Direktøren for det hele [The Boss of It All], lol. there is also a lot of cuts between cameras, which just feel insulting really. you dont need to tell me where to look or how to feel! thats not what found footage is supposed to do! on top of this, the entire thing is way too boring: very weak story (interesting premise though), super unconvincing acting, and way too boring. has no idea how to build an atmosphere or tension, and i dont really understand how they "solved" the paranormal stuff at the end? seems bs. also his brother is like super randomly god fearing but only for a few lines? i dont know. a big miscalculation, and i can see why this didnt take off at all. case and point that the geniuses behind Paranormal Activity were in fact GENIUSES, this is what you get when you have no idea how to direct something like this!

had to tap in before this became some hmlcore. i was already lacking letting shave get to it first. highkey though go read his entry for this, i think he put it into words better than i can. instead, i will try a new format here, and share some notes i took as i watched.
notes:
the underwater shots are just gorgeous. feels like when you hold your breath and sink to the bottom of the pool and watch the underbelly of the water above you and everything sounds like muffled pops and cracks.- the up close shots of the dead or squirming fish being gutted and decapitated felt like watching pornography. fetishistic; that low angle and wide lens, feels totally perverted exploitative. all below the waist too.
- same with the bird clips. taking a bystander position and not interfering but reveling in the filth of all of it.
- are they listening to mastodon? lol
- the hard cut to a totally stationary camera was interesting.
- spoiler: click to read
- the slow steady hum of the boat and the machinery feels like a soundtrack. its kind of amazing really.
- the shots of spoiler: click to read are sad.
- the drills sound like screams and agony.
- so spoiler: click to read. poor dude.
- beautiful shots of the birds. all of this night footage feels so scary, ominous. seeing the silhouette of the boat underwater is intimidating.

thanks shave for urging me to give this a second chance. its actually not too bad, theres some creative electronic moments and i like the alt rnb take of witchhouse, sometimes its even a bit beautiful

first 2024 release im rating.
sorry fuckcomments, but the nod stuff doesnt hit like that for me just yet. the beats are a bit more interesting this go around, and i appreciate the more creative producer tags/dj call outs, but i still feel about the same with this as with the first one. it comes and goes. the full potential of this kind of stuff hasnt been proven yet, though Nod Theory got close.

jan24
captures a feeling of cold painful darkness that nothing else does quite the same way, but i wish these songs did more for me. the opener is one of my fav cure tracks, and i liked the last three as well. the title track is kind of crazy, blending pummelling drums against some fucked up noise guitars, and ending on a weird little sound collage of sorts. i respect this effort a lot, and its shorter than other cure albums making it more replayable. perhaps when i grow up some more ill fw it.

a band i’d been putting off for far too long. also another widely influential release, some of the reviews touch on that a bit better than i could, go read those. of course im a huge fan of knife party, and that cover art is just gorgeous. im not a huge fan of the stadium/festival drum and bass sound, and its weirdly rock influenced, which can be hit or miss, but this is still high energy and fun. doesnt feel at all like an hour+, and the middle section has a really good run of tracks. i wish they tapped into some beautiful shitわ more (i dont think these songs fit the cover) but oh well. i probably wouldve liked some of these more when i was a kid.

HELLBOY (2016) [Mixtape]Emo Rap, Cloud Rap Trap suicide, alienation, love, melancholic, sampling
jan24
undeniably a hallmark in rap, probably infinitely influential, but i wish i liked this more. some of his choruses are just a bit too repetitive for me, and i think some of the lyricism is lacking (girls), but he knows how to write some catchy shitわ and in general all of these instrumentals are pretty nice and they tap into some deep emotions. basically any track w lil tracy is a classic amazing. kirblagoop best feature hands down

Noise, Industrial Industrial, Tape Music, Musique concrète chaotic, noisy, atmospheric, sampling, avant-garde
jan24
and now for something completely different. im not usually a big fan of industrialbow, but ill be damned if this isnt a masterpiece. some genius junk metal sound exploration during the first half, and a crazy tour de force soundscape filling up the second, switching back and forth between dirty metal noises and strange japanese sound collages. quite a complete and fleshed out experience in my opinion, highly recommended to any merzbow fans wanting to hear some more under the radar (but still worthwhile) albums
also: that bonus track, even though its not as good as the rest of the material here, is quite good, and comes with a unique blend of live drumming via (i assume?) masami himself

Harsh Noise instrumental, dissonant, noisy, aggressive, chaotic
jan24
as nightwrath put it, this is one of merzbows most electronic, (and likely purely) synth-y albums ever. tons of oscillation fuckery and crazy laser squirting as per his usual mid 90s forays, but the intense focus on only synths makes this a lovely standout in my books.

many long time rock viewers will know that i dont really fw bjork like that, and nothing ive heard from her has really satisfied me at all. but, admittedly, this is really god damn beautiful. not that shes a bad singer at all, but i felt i could hear on these songs better than anything else ive heard from her just how talented she really is. i do think her vocals are the center piece, but the production and instrumentation is doing a lot of heavy lifting too. i love the xiu xiu feel of cocoon, and i prefer these idm influenced electronic beats on this rather than homogenic. they feel much warmer here, not so cold. chills during that last track’s climax. im going to hesitate on a higher rating, if im compelled to come back more we’ll see…
thanks for the rec taylor

grunt’s track is pretty good, and while i dont love BU’s, i think that its very interesting. seems like a live take, and i believe i hear some drums… cymbals?
the real stars of the show here though are deathkey and caligula. with material that totally blows whatever else ive heard from him out of the water, deathkey brings out some super intense hateful tracks here, and caligula just about mirrors them in ferocity.

maybe their strongest effort. not that that means much, but theres a lot of catchy choruses and standout verses/lines here. all of the features are good i think, these girls are actually a bit good at rapping as well. theres a lot of racist asian lines but i guess one of them has to be asian? a lot of BBC lines too, and on My Chick Bad (Remix) one of them just says the n word? not sure what was up with that lol.

its hard for me not to get emotional watching anything about 9/11 so even though theres a fuckton of hollywood schmooze here and there is some weird pro-war/-military undertones i still enjoyed it. nic cage gives a strong performance despite spoiler: click to read and there are crazy random totally blissful scenes in here that kind of floored my ass.

Djent Groove Metal, Progressive Metal repetitive, technical, dark, heavy, uncommon time signatures
jan24
continuing the track ratings.
its a good album. really. i dont hate it, theres good moments here, great even sometimes. but, this is by and far their weakest. i know i was saying obzen was weaker, but after a relisten this just doesnt even come close to obzen in terms of worthwhile material. again, i enjoy this album, but in the grander shuggah scope its just a shrug. kaleidoscope, abysmal eye, shortening fuse are some highlights for me. there is a lot of filler though, the intro track i found to be very very boring, and especially long for a damn intro track, black cathedral and past tense as well, and despite the excitement of a 9 min meshuggah instrumental it really just does not deliver as much as id like.
3.5 tho |

Deathcore Technical Death Metal, Symphonic Black Metal technical, heavy, aggressive, male vocalist, melodic
jan24
all of this thall deathcore makes me want to revisit this. cant stop thinking about it for some reason. its not particularly great, though they blend black metal and deathcore quite nicely, besides maybe sun eater nothing is really memorable at all about this. its quality consistent stuff. the song structures and the way i visualize this in my head are very satisfying. not sure i know how to explain that. its a good album to just turn on and listen, there isnt many super slow or boring moments to make it a chore to sit through.
im recording drums for our demos today. and doing laundry. id like to watch a movie later. we’ll see…

i believe C9PLMS puts it best. very very consistent, constantly engaging, heavy as fuck, and doesnt really get old over the course of its runtime. i may have to revisit Abyssal to see if i missed something. im gonna hesitate rating it higher for now, but i expect this to grow on me a bit

Djent, Progressive Metal heavy, technical, mechanical, complex, male vocalist
jan24
its good. for sure. no doubt. some strong material here (combustion, bleed (yes, its actually a good song), dancers) and theres hardly any bad or dragging moments, but in my honest opinion, this album is kind of all over the place and is highkey their weakest djent album. really, just listen to the first three tracks. a djent-y thrash song, a super janky meshuggah song, and then the ridiculous bleed. not that any of them are bad, if we got an album in the style of bleed or combustion that would be really cool! but it just isnt the case. i suppose everything else fits decently together, but theres nothing here that surpasses what they did on Nothing or what they’d go on to do on Koloss

Gorenoise

fucking gorenoise perfection awesome. the tracklisting is fucked up cuz of that reissue but idegaf. vomitoma’s side was insane the drum programming was fucking nuts at times. biocyst was cool as fuck sounds like insane wind instead of drums. anal birth is fucking anal birth you cannot go wrong, the monster vocals are such a classic. internally mutilated prob the weakest side but still really good, samples are funny and vocals are liquid.
also first time ever getting to loop 2 in nuclear throne while listening to this so its basically my go to lock in album

this one may actually require some further inspection. ridiculously heavy at times. the vocals are kind of gay sometimes but i can move past them they arent horrible.
still not really sure what thall is, this is like djent+deathcore with very clean vocals? is thall just djent+genres?

i think a few of the choruses lack something crucial to make this amazing or weak verses will hold songs back but this is pretty consistent (which is important for kpop since most kpop releases are just like compilations) and every song complements one another. maybe a grower? i love the last two tracks especially

jesus christ what an awful cover.
as bad as it is though, the music here is damn amazing. these guys really know how to write songs and melodies. every song has something to appreciate. this album, similar to their debut, also reuses songs from their first EP, which is cool if you’re familiar with that before you hear this. theyre obv done better here ofc.

a strange fascination with african spiritualism. reminds me of the exorcist in some ways. gorgeous guitar work on this, some of their best melodies from what ive heard, and this is way more consistent of a record than Dreamhouse…
very catchy as well, the second side also sees them get a tad more experimental with their songwriting, sometimes harking back to the experimentation of Bauhaus’ early works.

its all very pretty - his vocal delivery, guitar work, and instrumentation are much cleaner and well organized than i kind of expected. while it is not quite as dark as i assumed, it is definitely sad. i can see myself loving this a lot more in the right mood, but for now, its just Good.

another 2h48m album today lol. this time, instead of many smaller tracks, its few larger tracks. ive had this set aside to listen to for like, probably 4 years now lol
im not gonna pretend im familiar with Radigue or drone or electroacoustic music at all, but i dont think i need to be to understand from this alone that shes the god damn goat of this shitわ. very lovely, calm yet at times unsettling works that tip toe on a line between background noises and front-stage atmospheres. whats great is how little it demands of the listener. i found the last track to be kind of weaker, but the first two are quite good. will definitely be looking into her stuff.

listening at work. tired as a god damn bitch, didnt go to bed till 5am and ive been up since like 9:30.
despite its impressive 2h48m runtime, this is honestly not that bad or tiresome at all. ive never heard any other BDN before this, but it seems like i may have to give his other works a chance. im generally very bored of death industrial but he keeps things very interesting and nasty for most of this. depressing outlook with an angry execution. the songs lean into noise/dark ambient territory a lot which is probably what makes this whole thing a worthwhile listen for me. i dont love it, but its by no means bad.

while the power electronics half of this is quite good, quite intense, i have to give credit to this for including an interview collage that i actually enjoyed listening to. “An Empirical Analysis of Escorting” is exactly what it says - quite informative and honestly very interesting. does not utilize anything shocking or depraved i think to give you an idea of how this kind of world operates, though you could certainly interpret it that way.
