The Day of the Triffids

OH! BOOM! YES! they said it wasnt possible they said rocktime you cant finish one more book before the year ends they said theres no way youre finishing day of the triffids with less than a week left of 2025 and i said SUCK MY FUCKINGALBUM!!!

I shouldnt really fault this book for being subversive in regards to genre - its more like "the day of blindness oh yeah and theres triffids i guess" - but what i really disliked about this book was how lazily it handled its subject matter and how blatantly misogynistic it was? it always felt like it was scratching at this masterpiece of a bleak fiction (though i will say during spoiler: click to read) but instead just feels like moving from one location to the next. and then and then and then. its also incredibly fucking boring for the first half. on the latter, its just gross and harmful the way wyndham writes his female characters versus his male characters.

the ending is satisfying but feels foolishly optimistic, though i suppose its really about hope and new beginnings in the face of defeat. theres an element of anarchism as well that doesnt get enough attention.

for now my feelings remain mixed with a slight distaste in my mouth.

but thats 14 books this yeae! outdoing last year by a whole 3 more! i think next year i might be able to up my numbers even more, but we'll see how school treats me... at the very least i think another 12 is doable :)

3.5

Predator: Badlands (2025)

big day with waterplaster and todaywasgod of whataburger movies and taking pictures

you will see the results in like 1 month

bro had been begging us to see this with him for like a month (embarrassing 😭) so thats whag we did and shave had free tickets so it didnt even cost anything!

premise wise its like really fucking stupid and the whole predator family drama angle is just bad theres really no other way to put it. forced cinematic emotional swelling le bad ass fight choreography. however after elle fanning joins the crew my enjoyment went up like 100x. i really enjoyed her very silly and inquisitive performance. i also like her character (thia) a lot. movie tries to do some side plot expansion of alien universe which i dont have much to say about but i guess thats cool. its funny that all of the synths look like my old boss. i like learning about all of the different aliens. i think making the main character a predator that is bad at hunting is just a really poor choice that is probably very hard to nail down correctly.

Tunnels

And Then There’s This (2025)

Emo, Post-Hardcore

Indie Rock

hyep finally lissened sorry it took so long charlie i already heard the demo and the 50 minute runtime is so daunting to a goreguy like me #mylife

not my typical foray but i appreciate the production and some aspects of their writing. particularly strong guitar parts and a competent drummer who flexes just enough (but maybe repeats himself a bit too much?) keep it interesting all the way through. lyrically i think charlies got a lot of room for growth but i wouldnt say its anything offensive or outright bad. i think he needs to scream more. i also think he should try singing softer on some parts, but i know they going for that whiny emo which is still good. lots of sdre vibes. favs are fly ribbon and the second track and julien in third

3

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

our friends are going through the hp movies rn and my gf has wanred to do the same with me so we decided to team up and feed two birds with one scone

ive already seen this one but it was a good refresher to rewatch it even though i remembered most of the plot. kind of the first serious movie in the series like mfs die in this

and its always crazy to me how emotionally mature harry is because he literally grew up abused and neglected asf and like no one likes him but everyone fw him thats gotta be so mentally taxing

i feel like hes not eben that good of a wizard also

and why is krum a groomer bro

The Road

this one actually goes here tho

yes! you are seeing this correctly! i still read books! was really on a roll this year hitting 11 books before august even got here and i was on track to get through another 5-6 if i kept pace, but life picked up hella. we started reading this together as our first book we would have reading sessions for (and we also tried annotating and note taking which didnt last very long), but after my girlfriends grandpa passed away, my employment situation changed and my penultimate semester kicked off we just lost all the time and motivation to keep up with it (not just this book but reading in general (i still have 2 other books i started in that time that i have yet to finish!). we finally set aside the time this week to just sit down and tank through the last quarter of this though and it was so worth it. now im back in the reading mood and my goal is to wrap up those other two books before the year ends so i can start 2026 fresh and clean.

easily clears blood meridian not just because it was way easier to read tho. its ultra slow consistent bleak gray nothing but i could have honestly stayed in their world for another 200 pages or something. the inherent goodness of people and the persistence of hope in the face of a ruined cold universe. i want to say he kind of explores father/son but its more about faith. was a 3.5 the entire book until the end. ruins me to death

4

Solar Opposites Season 6

yep and i also forgot about this one so same deal

i was pretty excited but i took my time getting thru it cuz its the final season. i think its lowkey a good move in a way to stop it here cuz its feels like they lowkey slowly lost the plot on the family. really its korvo but i know the VA change probably changed a lot bts but also yumyulack feels like a totally different character sometimes. its also kind of infuriating how they handled the silver cop storyline. not that that was even that good to begin with but yall gotta commjt to ts, finale episode felt so fucking random and rushed lol. same with the wall but i guess it wasnt as bad, such an unsatisfying ending but i kinda respect it. humor still lands frequently for me though so no complaints there.

Smiling Friends Season 3

this entry was supposed to be way earlier but i forgot about it and i dont remember when exactly it should go so it will just go here

feels like they have kind of settled into a more predictable groove but theres still fun ideas. it seems like theyre really emphasizing allen and mr boss' character quirks but it doesnt rly work because it just feels forced. i am also kind of over the whole realistic dialogue improv stuff but really its just cuz they place it so predictably; it makes for kinda a boring punchline. still a good watch tho i dont rly get why this show of all shows needed a weekly rollout.

Brutal Death Metal

Slam Death Metal, Dissonant Death Metal

heavy, harsh vocals, dense, energetic, dissonant

ill be honest ... it aint half bad. im chill w the production and these guys lowkenuinely know how to write some riffs. very healthy amount of head nodding and grooving. songs feel kinda forgettable though and nothing alone stands out, plus its kinda long... but as one whole listen i cant really dog on it like i wanted to.

tourists are safe for today...

pretty cool. more digestible than their last collab i think, the elements are a bit more separated and distinct. a bit too long for me, and whats up with all of the silence at the ends of tracks? i appreciate the wide range of textures as well, but ngl ts does sound like death grips from time to time.

Uterine Wall Avulsion / Genophobic Perversion (2025)

The Rita / Black Leather Jesus / J S H / Vomir / Fall Into Dry Lungs

Live Split (2025)

Harsh Noise Wall

shrug. vomir has the best side unsurprisingly. ritas is good but his live work just doesn't translate well into at home listening format. jsh is fine, no comment. dry lungs is a random ah addition id rather they just have bruising pattern play but maybe it was a local thing idk. their side kinda buns. oh yeah and blj side has nice textures but like rita it doesn't translate

Nasty Maid Grinder

Break-The-Sound (2025)

Breakcore

Glitch, Drill and Bass, Mashcore

ok this is fucking ridiculous. nmg comes back in 2025 and its fucking breakflash riddim mashcore?!

buzz words aside... 🐝... this is actually super fucking good. covers a lot of ground and feels so exciting. feels way shorter than it is too. the opening run of tracks is like the best thing ever bruh

3.5

Silver Dove

Heart of Grief (2025)

Drone, Ambient Noise Wall

Alison Wonderland

Ghost World (2025)

Trap [EDM]

Hybrid Trap, Future Bass, Electro House, Dubstep, Electropop

energetic, punchy, melodic, bassy, dense

its fine. its a nice no brain fun listen. her production has def taken a step up and shes doing some Sound Design here too tjag i thnk is cool but a lot of tracks just feel like retreading popular edm sounds. really dont like her voice either

Richard Ramirez / T.E.F.

Richard Ramirez / T.E.F. (2025)

Harsh Noise

Ambient Noise Wall

Noise

agree with lamo this is a much better take on progressive wall. a lot more fully realized as he says. textures leave a lot to be desired but i think if he continues working this way we'll get some masterpieces in no time

Integral Serialism, MIDI Music, Modern Creative

Sonorism

anticolonialism, political, surreal, concept album, anti-authoritarian

lol at the ppl bombjng the ratings for this. its 5 minutes yall. feels hard to be strongly opinionated either way about this its just a quick run of midi instruments in some kind of loose composition. i respect it for existing

Noisecore, Free Improvisation, Audio Documentary, Avant-Garde Metal

Interview, Sound Collage, Gorenoise, Audio Documentary

war, political, concept album, sampling, disturbing

fucccck yes this is really good. great return to form for him coming bsck to this free sound. its less gore texture though but i still like it. definitely leans more into traditional noisecore sound

3.5

Torture

War Crime 2: Genocide Protocol (2025)

Slam Death Metal

Beatdown Hardcore, Technical Death Metal, Avant-Garde Metal

war, anticolonialism, bassy, political, raw

its definitely an improvement over their last album. a lot less minimal and with a tighter runtime (thank god). theres actually a handful of exciting moments here but for every genuinely great track theres å fucking dookie stinker (NEUTRALIZED...)

Rooster Slipped (2025)

Cloud Rap, Experimental Hip Hop

Art Pop, Emo Rap, Neo-Psychedelia, Alternative R&B

lethargic, depressive, psychedelic, ethereal, atmospheric

cool i mean gud is always doing interesting stuff instrumental production wise so no complaints there its nice how he bridges lots of styles together and his approach to rapping is unique and notable but none of this rly sticks with me. cool i guess but i will forger it soon

Sulfuric Cautery

Consummate Extirpation (2025)

Brutal Death Metal, Goregrind

Slam Death Metal

heavy, death, aggressive, dense, noisy

accidentally a whole fuckin week behind again. #letsgettheseentries

sc back with a new album and this time they are playing with brutality. kind of got hints of this when i saw them live and yep its basically fucking awesome as shit. isaac is actually a really great drum writer i love all his parts on this and i think these longerform more part-oriented songs really let his versatility shine. also riffs as fuck. bad ass orchidectomy too

not sure if theyll continue with this style the promo for this makes it seem like a one time thing but it would be cool to see how they evolve in this direction. as it is now tho this def isnt as good as theyre normal gore

3.5 yay

2Slimey

High Anxiety (2025)

Rage, Experimental Hip Hop, Hardcore Hip Hop, Terror Plugg

Power Noise, Industrial Hip Hop, Terror Plugg

bassy, noisy, manic, dense, heavy

lots of fun. really dense and its basically like some psykotic with more distortion sometimes. mfw the worst beat is ok's 🤣 i think the vocals are the main problem. mixed a little too loud (theyre like sidechained to the beats which takes away from the hugeness) and in general just a little too processed his older vocals were better. but jake made a good point its like he got the osamason che vocal chain so its more accessible probably

babytron track is easy pleb filter

what i imagine when i think slushwave. pure instrumental chillout. i wish it was a liiiittle less active tho

will investigate further

Space Laces

Vaultage 004 (2025)

Brostep

Bass House, Tearout [Brostep], Briddim, Hybrid Trap, Complextro, Riddim

bouncy, sampling, punchy, dense, energetic

ill let the reviews and comments handle this but its obviously his best drop work ever no doubt hands down. too many highlights

but something they wont tell you that i have an issue with is the sequencing (or really the structuring i guess). something that FUS and MTGFYT get right is fleshed out tracks and transitioning into drops, respectively. skrillex knows how to craft a build up and even moreso knows how to work quick tracks into a sequenced mix so it never really loses steam without being drop after drop. moody good understands energy conservation and chooses to build into drops rather than drop into build ups. i think the best way i can put this is that vaultage 004 feels like your favorite noisecore with 1 second pauses added between every track.

3.5 still tho

Frost Children

Sister (2025)

Electro House, Electropop

Festival Progressive House, Fidget House, Dance-Pop, Electroclash

party, noisy, pastiche, nonbinary vocalist, bouncy

really exciting instrumentals and production; its crazy how loud they master their shit. love the drops and synth abuse stuff. cant stress enough how much i hate their vocals on this though. the shouted vocals and like gain boost limiter is so grating and its like 45 minutes of ts. they need to go back to just singing. i do wish it was shorter in general tho

Sulfuric Cautery / Hacked Apart

Sulfuric Cautery / Hacked Apart Split (2025) [EP]

Goregrind, Grindcore, Gorenoise

cautery side is more like their old material in both mixing and with the black metal vocals (theyre back). kinda boring lowk but i think im just spoiled by their other recent output

hacked side is overrated normal goregrind stuff

3

Cystic Hygroma / Hemorrhagic Pyrexia Virus

Brutal Prog

hello little surprise ep split, why tf have none of my moots listened though thats crazy im really first to the plate yall step your game up

effluence track is peak free gore, never gets old.

tantric track is kinda mid tbh its on some of that modern classical adjacent avant garde metal stuff theyve been toying with, it kinda falls flat in this format.

trio track is more awesome free content, love the drums (i wonder why)

3.5

Splanchnopleuriticexenteration

Enshrining the Many-Fingered Grasp (2025) [EP]

Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal

aggressive, uncommon time signatures, complex, technical, male vocalist

fuck yes this is so good. actually nasty at times, bro is saving tech

great writing and this feels a lot less like tryhard showmanship and more like nikhil being able to just let loose and put together the best parts of all of his disciplines

3.5 bruh

The Deep

KPOP B!TCH (2025)

Electropop, K-Pop, Dance-Pop, Electro House

Electro House, Bubblegum Bass

rhythmic, party, female vocalist, bouncy, energetic

pretty fun super loud edm conscious stuff. i think too many tracks feel underwhelming enough to hold this back from being dope but theres still some good ones like lucky star and wrong number.

3 for now

Omnicidal Instinct

Catharsis in Blight (2025) [EP]

soft and vulnerable. love the indietronica plugg stuff it really emphasizes that organic sound without being as ... intimate as like shed/nod beats. in53ct > swords2 anyday, hes better rapping and lyrically. and better voice. good stuff

3.5

Ruby My Dear

Confiture à la Plage (2025)

Breakcore, Drill and Bass

Avant-Garde Metal

energetic, humorous, playful, polyrhythmic, quirky

for as quirky and bouncy as its trying to be it falls completely flat and is just plain boring. uninspired and vapid chops; it just sounds like what id imagine an autopilot ruby my dear album would sound like.

no one else except for NDAD is allowed to make circuscore

2.5

3

DJ Woe

Purple Tape 1 (2025) [Compilation]

Electro House

female vocalist, rhythmic, eclectic, instrumental

a bit too much variety to succinctly describe it but i guess if i have to be very vague its "good". recontextualizing a lot of mainstream lowbrow edm trends and sounds into something like pc music but way more linear, danceable and accessible. highlights are set you free, wheeze, bulletproof, and up de flore

3

Subjugation

Unending Despair (2025) [Single]

Brutal Death Metal

Anatomize

Systematic Torture (2025)

Comafields / Imaginary Festival (2025) [Single]

Ambient House, Ambient Dub

Future Garage, Dub Techno, Ambient Techno, Ambient Trance, Progressive Electronic, Psybient, Tribal Ambient, Sound Collage, Spoken Word

atmospheric, sampling, ethereal, nocturnal, repetitive

so funny people still clinging onto untrue asking for another one and complaining with this shit. i promise if he wanted to cash in on untrue and make a quick buck off his legacy it would not take a lot of effort on his part 🙏

even though this isnt nearly as good its pretty clearly an elevated and very mature continuation of that signature sound. i still need to listen to the other 2010s singles but it seems like hes always moving the bar in a new or further direction. even if it isnt always dope i think you have to be dense not to hear it.

really longing swelling title track. i like the one-dimensional idea of just a pulsing kick on both tracks. feels like rave limbo. second one im less keen on but its still fine. good collage work as always

Artists and Models (1955)

its a damn good fun time. jerry literally lights up the screen everytime hes in frame. it starts off kind of slow but over the course of the whole thing it snowballs so fast and by the end theyre clocking ridiculous ideas per minute. love the love too this is honestly an amazing romance movie, the back to back massage and staircase scenes cmon now. i also like how ridiculous the secret service / russian spy side plot is. they were honestly just having fucking fun making this

also of note that one review mentioning how hella vulgar this was for its time like the visual innuendos are crazy

3.5

Play Misty for Me (1971)

we're back with our long awaited next movie night. tonights menu is CLINT and JERRY!

really interesting that its lowkey a slasher? not really but its cool that clint was even playing with that kind of stuff. its a good time but it honestly drags at points, can feel p inconsistent with pacing. i thought it was gonna end early like 3 or 4 different times lol. compared to the other early clint ive seen (breezy) i wouldnt say this is as good. loved the jazz festival and overall humor too

3

秋 [Autumn]

永遠の愛曲 (2020)

Slushwave, Vaporwave

lo-fi, lonely, calm, mellow, repetitive

oran

slushy mood pieces. last track is nice but i wish this wasnt an hour

3

desert sand feels warm at night

新世界の弟子たち [New World Disciples] (2021)

Slushwave, Ambient

Dreampunk, New Age

calm, warm, peaceful, desert, spiritual

really consistent and its a great proof of concept that if you actually worked on the music you were slowing down youd have a lot more creative control and therefore a more fruitful final piece. i think the length and slight lack of variety hurt it for me but this is still one of the better slush albums ive heard. curious to see what else they have

3

CT57

Millbrook Memories (2024)

Vaporwave

Sound Collage, Ambient Americana, Plunderphonics

mellow, sampling, melancholic, ethereal, sentimental

orange wave moment

blerp its like the other ct i listen to like random vibe tracks that set a mood and then have a connecting through thread of some kind of white noise putting them in the same universe. its nice

3

ILLIT

Not Cute Anymore (2025) [Single]

K-Pop

Pop Reggae, Pop Rap, Trap [EDM], Alt-Pop

introspective, mellow, female vocalist, repetitive, lyrical dissonance

shrug

i guess title track is kinda fun the reggae angle is interesting.

second one is really confusing why they would even interpolate that song but the beat is coo

3

Nightcore

Glitch

i agree evael. it is lonely. and its cold. i like first track

3

天堂山 [Paradise Mountain]

意图 (2023) [EP]

Slushwave, Ambient, Cinematic Classical

Vaporwave, Modern Classical

nature, atmospheric

the first track is kinda nice and i like that they are playing with song structure but its just a bit too... epic-y? and like huge. i also hella rolled my eyes at the second sample lol

3

t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者

アンタラ通信 [Antara Communication] (2015)

Ambient, Slushwave

Mallsoft, New Age, Drone, Dreampunk

ethereal, mysterious, atmospheric, soothing, futuristic

its pretty relaxing and in the beginning and ending couple of tracks its downright awesome, but a lot of these just dont stick with me too much. surface level i guess

3

浮世 [Ukiyo]

星々は永遠である [The Stars are Eternal] (2025)

Slushwave

more longform looping slush. first track is fine vibes idrc too much but the second is a lot nicer. relaxing

3

トリニティー無限大 [Trinity Infinity]

M&A (2016)

Slushwave

Choral

atmospheric, soothing, nocturnal, mysterious, sampling

starts off fine enough but the sample is just too busy for my liking and im honestly not into the choral half. its cool and different i guess but it just doesnt sound good?

2.5

t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者

ゲートウェイ [Gateway] (2014)

Slushwave, Vaporwave

Mallsoft

calm, peaceful, ethereal, melodic, atmospheric

another album ive owned for about a decade now that ive never heard all of.

first track is still peak though, easily one of the best vw tracks oat. the rest is pretty classicwave boring """muzak""" (fucing hate that term) wave whatever i dont care about it at all does nothing for me.

after listening to this i dreamt that i was stuck in a 569-hour time loop and i was only allowed to listen to one telepath album the entire time. i was really upset about that, but i dont remember much else.

2.5

Diabarha

Cold (2025)

Extratone, Splittercore

Deathstep, Dark Ambient, Noise

cold, anxious, dark, disturbing, mental health

might just be his best? at least its his most well crafted; his production has improved massively and he has a super unique approach to dance music because hes using sound design derived from extratone and speedcore which is super cool. this leads to fucking ridiculous extratone glitch tracks and the outstanding speed-deathstep track 2. he incorporates a lot of styles though, i dont think the tags really reflect that, which makes it a pretty engaging listen despite its length. i think it does kind of fall off in the last third as he moves further away from the ultra extreme electronic into more accessible territory but nonetheless its still gud business.

great stuff

明日はすべてが変わる日で (2017)

Eternal Night Vision Dream 2284 エターナル夜中幻夢 |2284|

Vaporwave

back in highschool when i was only listening to acid medical and my osu! library i came into contact with a bandcamp user who was interested in the same music and we both had this album in our collections. they had this track uploaded with some looping gif of snow (im guessing from an anime) onto their youtube, which i think i found through their tumblr that i found through investigative google searching. we didnt talk a lot other than small talk greetings and stuff. they gifted me an abum once, i think it was a renard album. one day, i cant remember how, i found them on instagram; they were running a feeder fetish / obesity fetish page and i could never find their personal account. shortly after this they disappeared from the internet and i havent heard from them or found them again since.

on early-dark chilly days like today when im in the right mood to listen this again im brought back to that gif and the weird memories i have. thanks valyri

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

getting back into watching some anime. in my freetime.

a buddy is tapped in rn so i decided to cuz ive heard lots of hype and its also mathematically significant which is appealing.

not at all what i was expecting i thought this was just like a weird slice of life which i guess it is but its actually not at all. no spoilers tho. i like nagato shes chill. the other girl is annoying though i hate those kinds of characters. as humorous as i expected which is awesome. curious to see how season 2 happens

not sure why shave didnt like this one as muh. first side is really fun exciting and second combines more static approach + metal pipe massacre. nice thing about lofi is you can never stop turning it up. PLAY LOUD!

Deathpile and Whorebutcher

Deathpile and Whorebutcher (2002)

Power Electronics

misanthropic, vulgar, sexual, violence, hateful

deathpiles tracks are characteristically LOUD and huge and classic pe hateful and haaaarsh. even though his second side falls off whorebutcher more than makes up for it with his own brand of slow menacing lethal power harsh. exciting listen. PLAY LOUD!

Taint / Skin Crime / Sickness

Behind the Smile (2001)

Harsh Noise, Power Electronics

taint tracks are great texturally. skin crime track is a bit too stationary for my liking. sickness brings it home with some excellent cut up that goes on just a bit too long. overall very hateful

Hardgroove Techno, Dubstep

Brostep, Euro Trance

punchy, energetic, nocturnal, party, manic

brostep tracks are crazy of course. i fw the hardgroove shit its fun and very detailed sound design even if it doesnt stick with me. feels like different iterations of the same track which is cool

Slushwave

Downtempo, Barber Beats, Smooth Jazz, Synth Funk

hypnotic, lush, atmospheric, ethereal, sampling

yeaaaahhh i dont really care at all about this. calls back to og vapor stuff of slowed down japanese jazz-y pop and synth funk stuff which i get why people like but i just find it so uninteresting. i know theres more happening under the hood here but that doesnt really change the impression i get. rip tho

神秘的情人 [Mysterious Lover] (2015)

Slushwave, Ambient

New Age

aquatic, atmospheric, soothing, peaceful, meditative

nice relaxing stuff. great ambient feelings but it kinda is nowhere near as good as binary ocean (unrelated but its relevant for me right now). a slushy highlight for sure but not one ill be coming back to

I'm Gonna Miss You (2021)

Vaporwave, HexD

Ambient, Hypnagogic Pop

noisy, sampling, psychedelic, ethereal, surreal

better than i was expecting tbh. i actually totally agree with christhatdoesntstop about vaporwave using songs as textures and this kinda pushes that even further. a few tracks on the back half were actually pretty good. good title

Dreampunk, Ambient

Drone, Rain Sounds

lonely, rain, repetitive, melancholic, futuristic

wow so good. rly locked in and consistent. each track so lush and detailed but theyre all connected by the thread of a shared universe. sangam gets a lot of ideas out and they usually stick. very exciting stuff, peep it evael

little break from the slutch for a gald snipe. i think ill always want more from dsbm drumming but this is really comfy and cathartic. vocals are kinda crazy and awesome. i may come around to it

トリニティー無限大 [Trinity Infinity]

二二二七 [2227] (2015)

Slushwave

Contemporary R&B

instrumental, sensual, calm, sampling, atmospheric

i honestly am more inclined to the instrumental sections, the r&b vocals kind of detract from the lush creaminess (wtf.. i meant dreaminess 🤦‍♀️). i also like track 1 more 🤷‍♀️

MindSpring Memories

The Binary Ocean (2017)

Slushwave, Ambient

New Age, Drone

aquatic, meditative, atmospheric, repetitive, mellow

slushwavember continues!

was a bit hesitant with the runtime but holy smoly this is great. buge transcending journey vibes; all encompassing stuff, spacious but meticulous in a way that elevates it way beyond its peers. everyone hating on the third second but its highkey so fucking good and has some of the best tracks here. i like to think of it as 3 discs. they should press it in that format...

...i should press it in hat format...

wtf is hat format?!

3.5

浮世 [Ukiyo]

楽園への入り口 [Gateway to Paradise] (2025)

Ambient, Slushwave

its raining like torrential downpour and flooding everywhere so you know its slushwave drive home. relaxing. that and i like bladee in the rain too.

surprisingly really good. its straightforward and easy to get into. its cool that the samples have been turned into this like weird space-y ambience. the highlight is 3 though with the deep huge drums. very good relaxation. i may listen to bonus track later

K-Pop

female vocalist, party, rhythmic, melodic

therapy was okay today. lots of breathing.

unexpected but sure whatever. i still dont love house party but im coming around to it in a way; verse vocals are nice and there lots of remix potential here for sure. 4 life is nicer than i remember as well. its nothing standout, though. still hate giddy boy though.

the best tracks tho are 2 and 3. very polished and smooth. awesome stuff they carry hard

finally listening after shave recd it liek 100 days ago

yeah i definitely get why people fw this dudes stuff hes like really locked in in terms of sound and writing. also playing. every track has good riffs and theres no holding back. could do without the samples they sound silly but whatever.

Frankenstein (2025)

movie nigjt with my girlfriend snd her friends

long day had to do a lot of stupid and then went to find this dog was potentially adopting but then its actually not necessary so we didnt. yep. got fuzzys tacos tho yum

yeah movies im honestly over dine in theatres i think it can be good experience but its way too much money and is usually not that good of an experience. the popcorn tasted really good though ill give them that.

kind of has the oppenheimer problem where its like an extended trailer for 2/3rds of it. the monsters half was appropriately slower though. lots of themes to unpack but thats more of a shelley thing than a del toro thing (i imagine). isaac's acting kinda pmo hes just doing a lot but ig thats his character idk. i actually fw del toros gore in this even if its kind of soft. theres a scene where spoiler: click to read which was kinda jaw dropping lol. bit of a weak ending but its wholesome and forgiveness. i like mia goths character

not really what i was expecting pretty cool like horror vapor stuff. the knocking was creepy, but i get light-er vibes from this as opposed to evil darkness. more like sound collage at times. reminds me a bit of Stuck (talk about DARK!)

メディカル [Medical]

Vicodin Hydrocodone (2015) [EP]

Ambient

Field Recordings, Modern Classical, Drone

melancholic, lonely, lethargic, soft, rain

highschool classic. 20mg was always on the radar back in the day.

ive never overdosed (or dosed honestly) in my life and i dont know what rehabilitation and being hospitalized like so its weird that i used to love listening to music about that (this one and an emotion x ep).

its relaxing and simplistic. the subtle touches elevate it beyond just samples although i cant ignore how audaciously lazy this is. knowing 2047 these are all samples of the same youtube channel with very (VERY) little treatment. oh well. the packaging is what we're hear for.

Dreampunk

depressive, sampling, nocturnal, dark, cold

couldnt really tell you what compelled me to buy this dudes albums when i was 16

i dont really get it being dark i mean i guess it is but like it doesnt feel evil or haunting or anything like that to me. its really just boring. over too soon? i guess idk do i even want more of this

Bubblegum Bass, Dance-Pop, Trap [EDM]

female vocalist, playful, quirky, futuristic, energetic

all the disc 1 bonus tracks are really good. not very flexing production or quirky music but just good straightforward pop. love

remixes are mostly cute or okay. magic clock is dope like old school melodic dubstep, firetruck is a lot better than the original, jump is fun, wish is nice, and the fav fav is hannah diamonds snowman which has both a good verse from hd and revamps the instrumental in a positive way.

why are they disbanding yall.

Purgatory Blight

A Pact With Death (2021)

Harsh Noise Wall

yerp. played a show. played an ALBUM RELEASE SHOW which you can listen to It's About as Hard as It Gets and it was mostly good. was really anxious leading up because we were doing some last minute cds and the booklets we wanted didnt even arrive until dead ass 9 hours before the show, but we ended up selling 14 (15 now that they are on bandcamp!) and some shirts. we got a sizeable turnout and lots of people were happy with our music which felt nice. i dropped a stick, one guitarist broke the same string twice on two different guitars, the other guitarist needed an emergency quarter inch transplant and some drunk 40 year old woman would not shut up during our set. otherwise it was dope and i will remember it forever. our longest set too cuz we played the whole album.

we had My Lice open for us. free improv drum+violin but this time the drummer had a contact mic that he was performjng with. lots of really cool sounds he was able to get from resonating drums and stuff.

Memoria second. listened to their ep a while ago but i felt it did not adequately prepare me for how heavy sounding they were. structurally normal screamo stuff but the tone felt like sludge metal it was bonks. also a set where the 40 year old woman would not shut up, sorry yall.

we had Daniel Ryan close up shop for us - he actually started his set the second we finished ours so there was no dead air. really amazing set from him dare i say his best to date. very different approach than what im used to, a lot more languid with much less physical action or tension. really cool how he was playing with samples too. overall a really good night. i love my friends

always wrap up the show nights with wall and whataburger. about what i was expecting from a gog project: very raw and living. not a lot of movement in these though, a bit closer to "trve" wall. the first and second textures dont give me too much but that last track is heavenly. like a pillow. such a bad ass cover

easily some of my favorite pe ever. totally depraved slicing feedback noise and keiths gross sewer murder vocal deliveries. its cool how sometimes theyre processed and other times its like hes right up against you yelling in your ear. could honestly do without the 3+ minute long samples but theyre justified i guess (as much as you can). last track blew my mind

humorous

dead ass the best cover + title of all time how were they allowed to do that and then make it boregrind

but actually the first half is really fun kinda obtuse programmjng and vocals and the digital artifacting is so cool sounding when it explodes through

second half tanks this just silly boring dont care covers blah blah whatever. i recognized sweet leaf tho

oooh and you know itzy had to drop to celebrate too

had a really good feeling going in and this does not disappoint. i think this is the first time theyve done an intro track? its cool. industrial. title track is also cool and swag, very fun stuff, and dyt is a nice knife party nod. but what really seels this shit for me is the last half. lots of tasteful choices, nocturne is smooth as butter, flicker is some high quality 2step, and man the last track is so fucking awesome. aespa who. experimental highk.

overall super consistent and easily their best effort in years.

KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

after the opera we went to olive garden cuz i wanted lasagna and chicken gnocchi soup. yumminess

gf has been really wanting me to watch this cuz she saw it with her niece so i was like yeah why not i want to. chill out.

i like the animation style i didnt at first but its actually pretty cute. i dont like soda pop but im coming around to golden its got a pretty good chorus.

one of my moots said this is on par with i saw the tv glow levels of bad message but i dont really agree. to me its seems like its really about how we cant fight hate with hate. you have to love everyone, especially yourself...

i started playing osu again but im only playing ctb because my wrists would hurt too much playing mania or standard (also dont want to set up the tablet) and i cant read taiko. its fun easy on the wrists and i can still engage with my fav maps and tracks

Dialogue of the Carmelites

hello, its my birthday (ostensibly, im actually writing this two days late... oops...) and we are celebrating. breakfast with family was yummy and mom got me some vinyls that ive never heard before but shes very sweet for that and stepdad gave me neat little pokemon anatomy fan book that ill skim through in the future.

the main event today was the opera! maximo friend gave me the idea to go so we got tickets (kinda poor seats off to the side and fifth floor up but its okay) cuz this was conveniently playing on my bday!

first time ive ever sat through an opera and i had a pretty good time. i cant discern really how well it was directed/played since i have no reference point... but i really dug the entire casts vocals and the band. visually really exciting too lots of superb blocking and set design ideas; love how they play with lights and shadows in every act. even though english "subtitles" were available i still kinda had a hard time following the narrative super closely. i think the nature of opera means the storytelling happens really slowly so its harder for me to stay on top of it you know. i think it was also easy to get distracted by the band and vocal performances, i was also a bit tired towards the end (shits like 3 hours...). great ending though. my gf was hella locked in tho she used to do theater in high school so i think this really resonated with her.

definitely not the last time we'll be at the opera!

PSYCHO (2025) [Single]

Hybrid Trap, Brostep

Hard Techno, Hardcore Hip Hop

female vocalist, male vocalist

forgot about her. i wasnt sure if i should just listen to psyucho or the others since their inclusion is rly just a spotify thing not like a purposeful decision made by artists but i just listened to all of them anyway

seems like shes tapped more into the skrillex type post hybrid trap festival sound which is cool to hear, even if it does sound like a worse version of skrillex. not crazy ab iwannaliveinadream but theres still nice production elements to appreciate. i will peep the album when its out

Tinsman Road (2025)

little late night movie time with the broski you know whats up and no one else in the theatre we were such mischiefs. no really tho i cannot stop coughing thank god no one else was there i wouldve been kicked out no shot

very interesting and honestly way slower and more meditative than i was expecting. grief inhabits spaces and people. we are the ghosts we believe in. there are thoughts that need more time.

banfitch's camerawork is still top notch here. preoccupation with nature. but also with lights... i dont think it justifies its length in the same way outwaters does, but who knows maybe ill come around to it.

In the vocabulary of the Russian Formalists the film has one сюжет, but two фабюлы. spoiler: click to read. i like that

Barely Alive

We Are Barely Alive (The Remixes) (2016)

Brostep, Trap [EDM]

Bass House

bit of a mixed bag; def not on par with the run of originals but there are still gems in here (zombie hunter, pooyoso, rough and rugged) that make it worth it. seriouisly that rough and rugged remix is crazy

ILLIT

비밀찾기 [Secret Quest] (2025) [Single]

Television Music, K-Pop, Pop Rock

Yakousei

bittersweet, adolescence, female vocalist, rhythmic, melodic

i dont even care about pokemon like that anymore but i saw this and clicked because that cover is cute

Virtual Riot x Barely Alive

Head to Head Vol. 2 (2021) [EP]

Brostep, Briddim

Riddim

energetic

ROUND 1: HEAD TO HEAD CATEGORY

Virtual Riot - Show Up VIP:

like all vr songs its got competent sound design and fine writing, he knows what hes doing, but its characteristically hollow and lacking any kind of real hooks for me.

Barely Alive - Weeble Wobble VIP:

definitely the winner of this round. more exciting drops even if its still just a run of the mill briddim exercise.

ROUND 2: TEAM EXERCISES AND SYNERGY

Basement Dwellers:

this one sees ba and vr working together directly. not sure how they split up the workload if each drop is one artist or they did both together but either way it ends up being just another briddim track. i suppose the more the merrier so it is a step up from both of the first two tracks (but not by too much)

Rivals (Virtual Riot VIP):

this one is about synergy, how well vr can work with the ba foundation/framework. i have to say this might be my fav track from the bunch, but thats cuz it lowkey lets some early sounding ba style shine through and i like that. its also not over-sound-designed modern briddim kinda stuff which helps.

WINNER: fuck virtual riot barely alive wins because i said so

FKY

Tranquiloutek (2001)

Unknown Dimension: The Story of Paranormal Activity

i actually wanted to watch the supercut of the first three and then watch this but i didnt have time bleh oh well

lovely little watch its interesting look into how movies like this can even get made and its crazy how it even worked at all given all the variables and obstacles. i like how honest they are about some of these really sucking. comfy

Experimental Hip Hop, Jerk

xav, i think i just might have to agree with you. i love this shit.

good early xav stuff lots of experimenting and great energy. over too soon

Prurient

Noise for Halloween Night (2019)

Horror Synth, Dark Ambient, Halloween Music

Neoclassical Darkwave

Halloween, nocturnal, atmospheric, autumn, instrumental

this is highkey the best prurient synth album and this is the only reason he should ever pick up synths again. some of the melodies are honestly pretty fun and he incorporates some industrial sounds really well. lovely stuff

3

AFI

All Hallow's E.P. (1999) [EP]

Punk Rock, Horror Punk

Hardcore Punk, Horror Punk, Halloween Music, Melodic Hardcore

Halloween, energetic, autumn, male vocalist, nocturnal

yep pretty fun doesnt connect with me too hard but its very solid punk stuff. very good production i expected this to be way shittier. gang vocals

Kaptain Cadillac

The Juke Chainsaw Massacre II Halloween Edition (2009) [DJ Mix]

Juke

sick out of my mind laying on the couch listening to this in safari and browsing the origami board on 4chan

fun stuff. silly samples. AHH!

Trippie Redd

Spooky Sounds (2020) [EP]

Sound Effects, Halloween Music, Novelty

A cappella

scary, Halloween, ominous, repetitive, disturbing

AHHHH! happy halloween! except im writing this so late! what did everyone dress up as

kind of interesting and honestly these are pretty scary sounds i think. its crazy he does literally gore vocals on the first track. if they werent all 1 min long they would go into the halloween playlist

3

Halloween II (2009)

pain follows us everywhere and our fates are sealed at birth

thanks to whoever uploaded the entire directors cut to youtube

breakup, sad, love, atmospheric

copy and paste my entry from never again. cool hes experimenting again with his voice, just wish the beats werent so plain

3

Celer

You and I Can't Ever Change (2025)

Drone, Ambient, Tape Music

peaceful, mellow, soft, instrumental, ethereal

yeeesh finally got around to finishing this. just cuz of length rly. listened to each track in isolated sittings while reading or working. very luscious and meditative stuff, if you like the original (or celer / ambient in general) this is like the new holy grail

3.5

The Cherry Point

Rain Turns to Blood 1987 (2003) [EP]

Harsh Noise

yea im not sure why shave doesn't like this that much its good higher tier tcp. love the micro songs format and this really rips in the second half. slow start but never lets down on intensity and then it frickin *stabs u* like 1000 times

3.5

Barely Alive

We Are Barely Alive (2015)

Brostep, Electronic Dance Music

Trap [EDM], Brostep

party, heavy, eclectic, energetic, rhythmic

really awesome and bad ass. there was a reason everyone was meatriding them so hard back in the day bc they were the fucking leaders of bass music for a few years there. really locked in sound and they were one of the first imo to really blend trap with brostep in an exciting way. lots of variety and plenty of highlights, doesnt get boring until the garage track at the end.

3.5

ian & gyo

Empty Suit (2023) [EP]

Ambient Plugg, Experimental Hip Hop

Cloud Rap

male vocalist, depressive, atmospheric, melancholic, family

first track is really cool its crazy how ian can lock into that flow on that instrumental. the rest are also technically impressive from that perspective but dont hit as hard. weird style to grow out of / start from in your career.

Surgery (2025) [Mixtape]

Digicore, Experimental Hip Hop

Rage, Electronic Dance Music, Glitch Pop, Plugg

futuristic, nonbinary vocalist, female vocalist, noisy, dense

meh. its fine listening but it kind of feels like im just tuning into a digicore instrumental playlist or smth. feels like theres no overarching presence on these songs and then sometimes a feature happens. cute cover

2.5

Mario Judah

Never Again (2025) [Single]

Emo Rap, Trap

Cloud Rap, Tread

breakup, male vocalist, anthemic, repetitive, bittersweet

its catchy. kind of nice to see him coming back to this concept but with a different vocal style. i think his weakest link still is his beats, he needs to find ones that synergize well with his vocals like on Die Very Rough

Cuntsniffer

Air Lock Boy (2025) [Single]

Ambient Noise Wall

Drone

as always very lovely. feels very living. lots of layering. winter is coming

3.5

Halloween Ends (2022)

come and kill me with fire and acid but i actually thought this one was pretty cool. might have something to do with watching every single halloween in like 3 days but i really appreciated this being a totally different formula and story than everything preceding it. is it kind of dumb? yeah i guess. Ends' last shot is basically michael as an unkillable machine, so it seems kind of odd that he had to go into hiding and become weaker? i think its kind of nice this is also more of a drama. idk its just different which i respect.

3

Durga

Durga (2001) [EP]

Emoviolence, Screamo, Post-Hardcore

Synth Punk, Sass

synth sass stuff. its cool. first synth line has a lot of emotions but they dont do much with it.

3

Influx

1.6K Followers EP (2015) [EP]

Deathstep, Minatory

Dark Ambient

awesome concept for an ep

i thought a lot about metal meets edm. the drumming doesnt immediately strike you as "metal" derived until you realize its more about the format: you really dont hear these kinds of drums in any electronic music (because the format of -step music takes inspiration from breakdown culture). kind of interesting.

i wish there was more variation in the drops instead of just steady whole note pulses (track 3 does some dope djent inspired) but its a fine listen anyway. cool dark amb stuff

3

VVUP

House Party (2025) [Single]

Pop Rap, Dance-Pop, House, K-Pop

Tech House, Bass House

female vocalist, party, science fiction, rhythmic

meh its nothing. cute cover. less rapping than i expected

Chainsaw Calligraphy: The Remixes Part 1 (2010) [Single]

Dubstep, Tearout

Glitch Hop [EDM], Wonky

i wasnt rly crazy ab the og but i saw jakes here and expected some heat

sadly these are both disappointing. just kinda feels like background noise. not very exciting

2.5

Traveling Trainer

The Sorrow of Umbreon (2020)

Dark Ambient, Drone

instrumental

chill pokedronebient. calm morning

3

Halloween Kills (2021)

lol. total mess. i guess its very graphic whicj is fun but this is easily the dumbest entry in the series so far (which is saying a lot...). apparently the whole myers mob thing was inspired by blm protests??? not sure how valid that is but if thats true thats crazy lol.

2

Merzbow & John Wiese

Free Piano / Hypersomnia (2005) [Single]

Noise, Harsh Noise

noisy, instrumental

holy christ that first track is insane. literally top tier output from both. masterpiece

second is them doing like academic harsh eai drone. dont care ab it that much

3.5

Lee Noble

No Becoming (2011)

Ambient, Drone

Psychedelic Folk, Hypnagogic Pop, Tape Music, Drone

lo-fi, atmospheric, lonely, dark, autumn

first track is like peam autumn halloween crane shot sweater vibes love that. the rest are nice exercises in ambient/tape/folk/"hauntology" *chills* methodology

3

Halloween (2018)

always loved the poster for this one its been intriguing for that reason

but its really not as sad drenching as that implies. i think its kind of just boring legacy sequel horror remember when this happened type spliff but i guess green treats his subject matter with a loving hand. very visceral indeed. the laurie bad ass stuff is confusing again. michael is kind of nice in this though. i can see why people like this because its like muh serious halloween sequel... but its that era of horrorslop thats just too overproduced to have any real characteristics...

goodnight

2.5

Halloween: Resurrection (2002)

yeah im just watching 4 fucking movies tonight even though i work at 10 whatever

the most disconnected from the timeline this almost stands in its own universe if it wasnt for the laurie intro. seriously so stupid they did that.

its a fun setup and stuff but its just boring to me. nothing really convincing party horror stuff. i think its cool though that they focus on found footage type camera stuff but its under utilized for sure. weird that its like a digital-movie (like tje internet) halloween its cool that its the only one though. im surprised yhey havent remade this premise in the modern times. theyre making a video game tho

2.5

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)

yeah whatever. the premise is pretty dumb so i didnt expect much. very basic structure teen movie opening isolation setup slasher chases/one by ones. i dont really understand the characterization of making laurie a bad ass who has been predicting this for decades. in this timeline she has only been attacked by him twice and they happened in the same night. the security guard was pretty awesome. fine ending i guess until you consider the sequel

2.5

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)

ooh yeah this is fucking awesome. easily second best myers timeline halloween movie. really fucked up stuff and michael is so robotic and cold in this its perfect. cult plot is kino and the fucking flashing sequences are absolutely insane. seriously the hospital kill sequence is like a top of all time kind of shit. also a very good ending i think, rip donald pleasance bro

3.5

Cut Me and Shatter Your Mirror Into a Thousand Stars

Trembling Faint Light Reflected in Your Eyes as I Look Into Them (2025)

studying for linear algebra test. yall dont even know how fucking nervous i am for ts. fs gonna come up in therapy 😭

very very quiet. passive. its comforting though. i liekd the last track the most. great cover

baby luma

MOCHI FESTIVAL (2025) [DJ Mix]

Electronic Dance Music, Nightcore, Kawaii Future Bass

Hardcore [EDM], Bubblegum Bass, Electropop, Denpa, Wonky, Future Bass

little surprise postnightcore kawaii future bass mix. luma's gotta work on these transitions but the tracklist is fun and the speed of it kind of smooths those out anyway. theres moments where the speed slightly changes and it sounds like the weirdest detuning stuff ever thats cool, and also makes me think this was done live which i like. i was worried there would be some overlap with this mix and my own future bass mix but luckily there wasnt...

3

Panic at the Disco

It's Almost Halloween (2008) [Single]

Halloween Music, Pop Rock

Novelty, Folk Rock

male vocalist, Halloween, party, playful, quirky

its pretty stupid but its cute lol. i hate the do the trick or treat hook they look like theyre havingvfun tho

2.5

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

basically just 4 but even more slasher teen and none of the awesome pain. obnoxiously boring at times. we get michael fake out 3 times in a row at one point just to watch a sex scene. jamie can act tho shes good, shame she didnt grow up with the series

2.5

Ghost of Gardenia

Mithras Rides the Black Puma Out From Hades (2021)

Harsh Noise Wall

Ambient Noise Wall

ghost of gardenia i think is easily a top waller for me. listening to this i drafted out (in my MIND) a thinkpiece about their music. i will not write any of that here but i will try to work on that yhis year maybe post it

the overarching texture here is not that enjoyable but the format is never ending inspiration and beauty

Harsh Noise

way more stuttering nasty than i expected. great stuff. trashed indeed

3.5

bleood

Rascal 51 (2025)

Rage, Experimental Hip Hop, Hardcore Hip Hop

Industrial Hip Hop, Digicore, Trap, Horrorcore

gore, macabre, manic, noisy, male vocalist

its sound experimental rage stuff but it just feels like a hollow imitation of his early work. not bad i guess but you cant help but compare

3

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

we're pretty far removed at this point from the excellence of the original's atmosphere and mood, but there are still positive things to appreciate. its even more slasher than 2 was, and also a lot more teen than the first two. its very middling and honestly boring up until the third act where it really shows its hand. the chase sequence between michael and jamie is so sad feeling, and man that ending. chills. that ending alone puts this in the conversation of best halloween movies

3

Rien

The Blank Tape Recording (2020)

Ambient Noise Wall

similarly dark but more lonely. lonely as in lost. lost as in hopeless. hopeless as in gone. cold under a streetlamp.

3.5

Sleep Column

Through Anguishes and Immersions (2012)

Harsh Noise Wall

very painful. dark. corners. texture is lush and you can really pick apart all the individual elements

3.5

Burial

Rival Dealer (2013) [EP]

Future Garage, Post-Dubstep

Ambient, Breakbeat, Atmospheric Drum and Bass, Synthpop, Witch House

LGBTQ, atmospheric, lonely, rain, nocturnal

cool. very abstract but not quite as far as the ep following. some parts feel a bit jarring. the 4 on the floor section was crazy. great sound design as always. leaves little impact

3

Yves

Soft Error (2025) [EP]

K-Pop, Electronic

Alt-Pop, Dance-Pop, Contemporary R&B

eclectic, female vocalist, playful, melodic, quirky

hm. well first three are kinda what i expected. dance pop stuff with a handful of tasteful decisions. pp's part is nice. bratty's too. the last half is a bit weird. leans hard into electronic dominated territory and shes really experimenting with what an idol can "do" on a track. doesnt do much for me but i respect it and thats cool. the bonus track sucks and feels nothing like the rest of the release

3

Ice Nine Kills

Jonathan (Acoustic Version) (2014) [Single]

Acoustic Rock

unfortunately, ink acoustic does not always equal goat.

thought it would maybe be like a slight reworking of that track to fit in an acoustic setting more (think back to alesana's acoustic Apology) but no its really just the same song with the same delivery and the same writing as the original, except it has an acoustic guitar and hes not screaming.

2.5

Halloween II (1981)

i actually really liked this one, even though shave doesnt. nostalghia describes the feeling very fittingly, a kind of "dripping sadness". pain that leaks out like a broken pipe and slowly floods the entire town, turning long hallways, dark storage closets and quiet parking lots at night into tragedies and sleeping crime scenes. its true this really leans into the slasher tropes without being necessarily innovative (and at times straight up dumb) but i like that michael's fodder is a never ending ripple of death and fire just to reach one girl. that particular chase sequence is just totally drenched in pain it has lingered pretty intensely in my mind in the days following my watch.

3 for now

2.5

Ice Nine Kills

The Silver Scream (2018)

Melodic Metalcore

Alternative Metal, Symphonic Metal

Halloween, concept album, male vocalist, aggressive, violence

yeah its just like. if you listen to their second album, which is 8 years earlier, these songs are like the exact same bar the production and spencers vocal abilities. and corniness. after the burning it seems like they found a formula that worked and stuck to it. theres very little variation in overall structure and nothing really leaves an impact. there are a handful of djent-derivative breakdowns that are pretty awesome and they really lock in for the screams and harsh vocals in general. it sounds fine and plays well either way i guess

also michael myers would literally never say that shit

The Album (2011)

Nustyle

on my way to work #fuckdallas

i think the concept of a "hardstyle album" just doesnt really work if youre gonna make it 12 isolated tracks and still keep it under 45 minutes. theres a reason its a singles/mixes genre. theres just no room for development and thus no time for atmosphere and stuff. these guys know their shit though i mean its the biggest names in golden era hardstyle so production and writing is very objectively good. euphoric stuff. couple samples make my skin curl but otherwise the theming is fine.

Death Metal, Thrash Metal

halloween got me in such a good vibe lets listen to VAMPIRE!

it sucks and recording quality doesnt help. very boring writing

2.5

Halloween (1978)

lots of strong feelings. weirdly quiet. glad i decided to revisit this, dont think i really had the toolkit to appreciate it my first time around. too many thoughts to write here. something you have to explain organically and temporally. trauma and destruction. ghosts haunting closets and sheds and backyards and violence that happens and blows away with the wind. michael has such a pure and evil essence in this. chilling

halloween marathon begins

3.5

Sinister 2 (2015)

reduces the subtlies and creativities of the first one into a natural sequel formula that (understandably) just feels like going through the motions. decides what it wants on impulse. shrug. stupid fucking ending

2.5

Autechre

AE_LIVE_ATHENS_050722 (2023)

IDM, Glitch

aquatic, technical, nocturnal, atmospheric, instrumental

i listened to this while doing physics homework. we are learning about magnetic fields and stuff. i hate vector math so much dude. but i finished all of it. a lot of theory questions which is nice. apparently im passing with a low A which is crazy bc i hate physics and i suck at it (ostensibly present rocktime doesnt know this information yet this is a transmission from future rocktime)

wow we are behind on this diary huh

ai side is disappointing as expected but its solid programmed gore stuff.

soifi side is... very curious. really unique approach to this style. not sure if i love it but its def cool. wonder where else it can go

3

Punishment

Punishment // Sanity Lost (2023) [DJ Mix]

Deathstep, Tearout [Brostep]

new microgenre DSstep (like dsbm) lets push this yall

but really though this is. dark and pun (we're close like that) gets a ton of great ideas and experiments in here. pushes shit so far and its

makes me feel to be honest

idk what the words are yet

cover sucks though sorry dude

more bro jerk. im digging that appropriation i wonder where the sound can be pushed. is it worth it for brojerk producers to stop sampling and learn to make their own 🤔 or maybe sebby did make his own for this idk

not really interested in c2x rapping though sorry

3

Arsonists Get All the Girls

Demo (2005) [EP]

Deathcore, Mathcore

a bit unfocused and lacking any kind of impact but theres ideas that i like here and i think they work in the synth in interesting ways. if it was kitten it would be cream of the crop

3

tion

Destroy the Realist Mainstay (1997) [Additional release]

Emoviolence

the 4 minute runtime is appealing at first but... these guys just kind of suck at being emoviolence. makes sense when you realize they started out making synth punk lol. its just very contrived feeling i suppose. the instrumentation doesnt make up for any of that either. DOH DOH DOH DOH

2.5

Shotgun99

More Apples (2016) [Compilation]

Briddim

nothing much to say that hasnt already been said before about green. timeless music

rebirth is actually really crazy and i like that it's more than just a "remaster" but not a full on remix - compromises halfway between both making it live up to the dopeness of the og while still being good enough to stand on its own.

red is good in the beginning but just kinda loses steam too quickly to be considered the same league as green or rebirth

3.5 tho

Wheatus

after that wild night i had to go straight to work. today was like the most tired ive ever felt in my life i was falling asleep in the break room watching reels. my coworker carries a jbl speaker on his hip at all times and when we get to work he blasts uzi trafis scott future thugga and chief keef. today he also played a ken carson song that was nice. i also got pulled over on the way to work for going 83 in a 70 and he didnt even give me a warning he just said slow down next time

title track is like the best song ever and i love the story it teaches you that your own negative perception of the world has no bearing on the beautiful positive outcomes waiting for you if youre just patient and present. and the chorus is so awesome. and when she asks him out its like fuck yeah. my otp

other two tracks are like wahtever guitar is catchy hes got a good ear for vocal melodies but i wish they were bigger and more explosive. or something. i dont know if i want to liksten to the album or not i dont tink so

Slender Man (2018)

went to friends house and saw friends and we carved some pumpkins and watched this in the background and then we ate pizza and played lights out which was fun i like hiding and not being caught.

good feelings sometimes in this one. then bad ones. theres something about csa. if i made this i would lean more on that and less on the occult angle. but with all the forum usage and grooming stuff it kind of parallels some groups in the modern times...wish it did more forest stuff. i actually like how most of the movie looks. the editing towards the end is nice with the super fast cutting. i think no one cares about how sad it is but i guess its silly. the afterimage is much nicer than the actual experience. a found footage version would be cool but i actually dont mind the teen horror.

starting

very different from the set i attended, but this was also 3 years ago, so i think the only connecting thread between this new "album" is just that they are beyond 2022

sprawling and trodding idm stuff that sometimes felt like their first live batch. its not as epic as those or the one i saw but you really cant go wrong with this style. theres a chunk in the middle that i really liked

pretty interesting from a historical standpoint, nice to see them flirt with these ideas that will eventually blossom into really epic stuff, but this is quite restrained and safe. a few nice parts but little overall impact

Autechre

lots of writing to do...

shave convinced me to go see them the other day really glad i did. the drive into austin wasnt even that bad tbh i like singing songs with bro and chopping it up. its the drive back that always gets you though.

tsrono opened. honestly pretty boring contrived-feeling idm stuff. "too loopy" as shave says. just couldnt get into it.

Mark Broom next. opened up with this rap/idm alternating sequence that was actually kinda cool. makes me think about how hiphop derived like all electronic music is. covers some expected idm ground then ends with like 20 or so minutes of the awesomest darkest dubstep and acid and breaks tracks ever. a little lengthy (at this point was def testing patience a bit...) but i liked it more than tsrono's. also cool that the sets transitioned into each other

lots of thoughts about this ae set though. way too many. constantly morphing evolving self refracting end of electronic music. felt like the logical finale of all electronic percussion, theres nothing past it. very free - easily some of their most abstract stuff ever. kind of realized during the show why they stopped releasing studio albums. when this is the new standard how can you even compromise? the end of tracks and structure. i noticed bqbqbq patch somewhere. i also think they dont need openers tbh.

im going to listen to all the lives all of them

we got dennys afterwards and i tried the slamburger which i liked gat 8

goreshit

forgot to make this entry like a week ago when i saw him so here it is

missed Special Agent, saw like 3/4ths of Downhill2k01. its weird how dance-deprived the ug edm scene here is because it literally takes nothing to get everyone excited. play shitty lil kevo nightcore and mosh ensues ?? they need to work on their transition game, i also dont really get nightcoring drum and bass for a 30 min dj set

i was honestly loathing the idea of seeing Deli Girls because i just cant stand digital hardcore but they were surprisingly fun. i think the live drums (and the fact that bro got some chops) really help, but they have a good ear for super energetic breakbeat/techno stuff. its weird though because it seems like people were less into this than downhill's set. yall make no sense. wish the vocals were mixed louder but it was kinda a vibe just watching her scream and hearing nothing

goreshits set was awesome though. i kind of expected it would be like live tracker meets dj stuff and would be mostly focused on his pure breakcore output, but he played eXXXcaliborg.Error (and one other old one) and it made my heart so warm. just remember being 17 thinking how he'd probably never do a north american show esp not one in texas but i guess we made the right lolicore artist famous :,) the set was great though real hardcore shit and i love his tempo change transitions between tracks. hes so chill thanks yall

so much better than i was expecting. track by trakc bc its all kind of disconnected

blue valentine very sweet chorus and the bpm change is appreciated

phoenix has cool vocal chop/processing ideas i really like

reality hurts has chops too and another bpm change which is crazy. very fucking fat and heavy fav i think

rico and podium lean into reggaeton influence which is dope if anyone can do it its nmixx

spinnin, game face, crush, adore, shape and bot o.o tracks are all fine but dont stick out as much. still i think the good stuff is good enuff to keep score high. a lot of this feels like what aespa should have evolved into. keep it up yall

Session 9 (2001)

been meaning to watch this forever, glad i finally did.

plays with the haunted house/spoiler: click to read storyline in really interesting ways. way less emphasis on visual or even "supernatural" horror and relies more on history and simple physical presence to build atmosphere and tension. human emotions resonate differently in different environments; stories that died a century ago reach out and infect us. theres some inspiring camera work here, but it feels like they never fully capitalize on the potentials of the asylum or the area outside it. it plays with expectations in a way that is neither subpar or outstanding, just... kind of oddly? really appreciated Mullan's performance as well Sexton's.

ghosts are haunting you, asbestos is killing you, everyone is irritating you, and worst of all you have nothing to come home to and nothing to live for.

Space Ambient, New Age

Drone, Ambient Pop

calm, mellow, female vocalist, peaceful, atmospheric

the backlash in the comments i cant

its a fine imogen composition with very saturated emotional strings and blah blah shes a talented musician and a good producer so its all very sound. obviously the focal point here is the vocals which, how i understand it, are just hers also lol. its difficult to tell for me that they are even "ai" (its really more like a soundfont based on how she describes it) so to me it just comes across as a regular imogen track. i hope she ignores the negative comments and continues to push this idea forward with more edge cases and wilder compositions.

aquatic, rain, peaceful, atonal, soothing

huh. kind of expected something by more straightforward (feel like svens stuff in this vein usually is?) but it was a lot more ... interesting than i anticipated. water recordings pushed into walls by , well walls but also just repetition and layering. texturally quite boring honestly, but i appreciate the concept. sometimes you can pick up on phantom rhythms in the loops.

Shadow (2024) [EP]

Thall, Downtempo Deathcore

Downtempo Deathcore

heavy, male vocalist, dark, rhythmic, harsh vocals

realizing listening to this thst thall is really a studio kind of genre. or its just interesting how it lowkey totally bridges djent / metal with electronic stuff but in not a gay way? i just mean that theres like tons of post production meticulously crafted digital elements, like gated guitars mimicking synths or all the ways the drums play with reverb and different trigger samples. its cool i think

kicks ass and is short enough to leave a noticeable impact. very awesome stuff, will be relistening

Pop Rock, Dance-Pop, Contemporary R&B, Trap

female vocalist, rhythmic, melodic

well when youre scraping the bottom of the barrel anything worth more than nothing is a win.

their most tolerable title track since ... fucking guess who? out of season and trigger also ride the fine line of being just decent enough to operate as functional background music without being offensive at all. i i know kinda sucks though. not coming back to that one. the real takeaway for me is wind ride though. very sensible and sound k&b. always a sucker for the simple and effective tracks :)

some of the bonus tracks dont hurt the album either: i still like algorhythm and no biggie (though i cant say i can really tell a noticeable difference with lia on them now...) and imaginary friend is a fine ballad track. i still dislike girls will be girls and gold is just... boring.

ill take what i can get

ok first listen i really really hated his vocals and they sucked. but ive been coming back and im getting over them. i think theyre like just mediocre most of the time which means the sucky parts really stick out. anyway tho its pretty dark really processed thall stuff. good stank face. the hate is unjustified!

Monster Ultra Black

not sure when they dropped this but i saw it at kroger and got one.

its a lot more friendly tasting than the name suggests which is awesome and its actually quite sweet which i like. but not so syruppy that its gross. it doesnt stand out like the ultra hawaiian or vikingberry does but i appreciate the more subtle taste because its makes it great drink to just sip on throughout the day.

kind of interesting premise for what seems like a run of the mill exploring-trauma-in-physical-spaces horror that actually switches up and becomes an even more normal haunted house/unstable reality horror. camera work is surprisingly solid and somewhat inspired. actors seem like confident highschool theatre students.

In Death I Rise

Demo (2010) [EP]

Deathcore

Slam Death Metal

just kept getting better. very loose and in turn sometimes hella syncopated its really cool. it feels like the writing just kept improving with each track and the breakdowns got even heavier. makes me remember why i love ts

oh yeah and shave is gay

3.5

Burn My Heart at Sunset

Apocalipse (2010) [EP]

Deathcore

found this a year ago and just kept putting off adding it to the db but now i did and icofromhelpful approved the image

kinda sloppy-ish brutaldeathcore but its nice. vocals sound a bit off. here and there are some nice breakdowns. sounds much more high quality than i anticipated

3

Convectorh & DJ 0000

Bozon III (2014) [DJ Mix]

Ambient

walking around half price books listening to this i got a copy of the road (my library one couldnt be renewed) and a russian-english dictionary :D

honestly a totally inoffensive ambient mix (im not sure what it has to do with the other bozon entries, maybe these are ambient tracks from related artists?) that would have been totally acceptable if it was not for that fucking windows volume sound happening like 12 times. why did yall even adjust your volume that many times and why didnt you just rerecord ts 😭

2.5

Halophilic Arousal

Hypernatraemious Mass (2025) [Single]

Noise, Avant-Garde Metal

super weird maybe his most outsider yet. no drums was curious choice. very processed and obtuse. hmm

3

Kretery

Dead Set (2020) [DJ Mix]

Deathstep, Minatory

good morning

looked interesting and it was. im not super familiar with deathstep (or minatory to be more specific) but i understand the basics. a lot of these are explainably poorly mixed lacking bass or proper levelling, being lost and all its probably not even worth fixing that kind of stuff for what is essentially a throwaway additional release. still these tracks have a surprising amount of variety and differing sound pallets while also being fairly heavy, especially neuropath's tracks. i may dig further into the genre

3

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)

forgot to make this entry on the 1st. capped off our 3 year anniversary with some conjureslop

not that the first movie is a milestone in modern horror or even some kind of example of above average filmmaking (i think expecting either of those things out of something like this is a mistake) i will give it credit for committing to its premise and staying focused and consistent. in my original entry for that i lauded the movie's "rules" and how it abides by them. it seems that the further we get from the original the less we stick to that framework; the characters become iconic toys and the mission becomes a fairy tale action battle. none of this really makes any sense and despite a 2+ hour runtime it still feels like they didnt have enough time to cover everything they promised in the set up.

the nice thing about that experience though was that we were the only two people in the theatre. its so much fun being able to openly talk in a theatre like that :D

na

Veil of Maya

Demo 2005 (2005) [Additional release]

Deathcore

Progressive Metal, Technical Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal

very fun! you can def tell they were destined for djent with this lol. songs are a bit too convoluted and winding to really leave an impression but man the last track is so fucking good. perfect melo riffage and an uplifting climax. good technical breakdowns of course

i think thats it for tonight

3

Durga

Earn Your Redwings Mormon (2002) [EP]

Screamo, Synth Punk

Noise Rock, Horror Synth

aggressive, male vocalist, noisy

huh. kind of cool. a bit post hardcore leaning (in the least post hardcore way i guess). the synth influence doesnt actually shine as obnoxiously as you might anticipate (whats up with the horror synth tag?). their ep preceding this looks more worthwhile i think.

3

Convectorh

Matter's Rebellion (2009) [EP]

Speedcore, Industrial Hardcore

Splittercore, Flashcore

surreal, chaotic, dense, noisy, rhythmic

very psychedelic and acousquantic or wahtever. i dig the bridge between splitter and flash without sounding DAW. may need a reinspection on a later date

3

Eternity Chaos & Ghost Mountain

DIE4U (2025) [Single]

Witch House

Darkwave, Synthpop

nonbinary vocalist, longing, gender, death, love

this is nice. some lgbt. is it really a prince cover? ec vocals sound cool. it feels like autopilot witch house kind of but it still sounds smooth and i like the melodies. ghosts part is good too. maybe will come around to it

3

The Apoplexy Twist Orchestra

Create the New (2004)

Screamo, Emoviolence

angry, male vocalist, energetic

this is nice, lots of emotional riffing and powerful climaxes, but it doesnt really stick with me.

maybe ill come around to it

i'm just seeing your comments about estudio en base a observaciones de cámaras de acuarios , thank you for the kind words as always. i made that one when i was obsessed with looking at unsecured cameras in insecam.org , i would stay up on sleepless nights watching random cameras and CCTV footage. the cover (and inspiration for the album as denoted by the title) came from watching a camera of someone's aquarium, normally you'd see different fishes swimming about but i took that screenshot one night when the camera got tipped over and you couldn't see anything.

i'm not a fan of everything i've made with the project but that one and ...'N This Is the Part Where I Break Free... are my favorites. i could go on about how the latter was entirely made using audio from JAVs and videos of slugs and how i deem it as a very personal project made in the wake of a falling out between me and someone i considered a friend, but your little blurb sums the whole thing up rather nicely. sending you a big hug

"Live" was originally supposed to be recorded as part of a planned album called Persons Leave the Stage that was scrapped when I made the decision a few months ago to leave the US in pursuit of my Master's Degree - we will be recording it in the sessions for our final album later this month, the other two long tracks were just a live Swans cover and a track we already did on Dreaming in a Headache. I appreciate the kind words, and we will be getting back into the psychedelic effects and sound collage more when we go to record in the studio.

This is How They'll Welcome You to Heaven is still a release I personally like, but it is definitely a step down from the LP in terms of neat stuff - it was a fast and dirty production that all started because I wanted to do a split with a local band I thought was cool. If we do more classic Noisecore stuff I do want to bring the sound collage/drone/psych/noise elements back.

@redapplefour yeah i read that too. was kind of an interesting insight to roden’s musical/lowercase approach. quite interesting how it initially birthed from him as a form of protest, and i really liked what he said about it turning into something ‘to conform to’; that was never his intentions. real good read imo

@quickestscoped i guess i was just really taken aback by them, especially the singing lol. really feed me master and the first track arent awful, but the singing on the second (and last) tracks just didnt do it for me, and im glad it ended up only being those two tracks with that kind of singing. i do encourage diabarha to maybe explore his voice more in the future though, i can see it working, im sure hes got the skills to make it happen

haven't heard a lot of people here talk about Onto Brink; ur thoughts on it were pretty interesting honestly. I agree it kinda blends together after a bit but I didn't hate the first 3 tracks tbh (his singing was a bit weird tho)

Honestly, as someone who has listened to a sizable portion of Kevin Drumm's discography, "more annoying and irritating than meditative and relaxed" accurately describes a lot of his work.

Abel Is Dying

Gazing From the Abyss (2006) [EP]

Deathcore, Melodic Metalcore

Melodic Death Metal

death, melodic, energetic, male vocalist, heavy

wow this is amazing. super passionate melocore stuff, lots of impact and sincerity. thank you grust...

you know what to do tave

3.5

The Crinn

The Crinn (2007) [EP]

Mathcore

uncommon time signatures, energetic, dark, manic, noisy

the shave ketchup continuies.

normal mathing stuff. feels way more Composed and accessible than what id like. his vocals also kinda weaksawce...

3

Nott

Abyssal (2014) [EP]

Deathcore, Downtempo Deathcore

Atmospheric Sludge Metal, Djent

atmospheric

interesting. definitely heavy. but it lacks a lot of style i think. also needs to djent. the penultimate is pretty nice though. bad ass cover.

3

We Are the End

If I Should Die (2016) [EP]

Deathcore

first track is amazing 808 heaven. sounds ahead of its time in a way

second keeps up the awesomeness with really lofi quality so the ending section feels wall metal. catharsis

would be a 3.5 if the other two tracks were a similar quality but they feel more standard/hifi. some gud breakdownz but nothing sticks like those first 2 tracks

3

Ice Nine Kills

The Pop-Punk-Ska Years (2009) [Compilation]

Pop Punk

Ska Punk, Skate Punk

humorous, playful, energetic, lo-fi, rebellious

sometimes its cute but it honestly sucks. their songwriting was so bad. its funny that they wrote a song criticizing bands that "sell out" and are only in the scene to be "rockstars" but they literally only changed their sound to fit what the growing demand in the mall scene was asking for lol.

2.5

Shai Hulud

Demo (1995) [EP]

Metalcore, Emo, Melodic Hardcore

Post-Hardcore, Emocore

nice. feels spiritually straight edge. good articulate stuff

3

phreshboyswag

Fuck the Fame (2025) [Single]

Jerk

vulgar, fame, male vocalist

dont know if id agree that hes "back" but this certainly isnt bad. i wanted to say something about his flow but it has escaped me. maybe you can put 2 and 2 together. beats nice love the 808s

3

Maximize Bestiality

Excreting the Malformed (2013) [EP]

Slam Death Metal

tiny

sounds of-the-era. nothing super special but its nice i suppose

3

EASYFUN

Laplander (Finn Keane Remix) (2024) [Single]

Electro House, Bubblegum Bass

Complextro

female vocalist, melancholic, energetic, dense, breakup

still on a break for some reason. first verse reminds me of hueboy remix by dj clap. the last chorus is nice buzzing synths. good panning. doesnt do mhch for me i guess

3

Seism

Ɠཞɛƙɩơɧıɩɩı (2025) [EP]

Noise

SEISM CELLNOISE?!

no not actually its just that same kind of fast oscillating higher frequencies stuff happening on top of what sounds like a metal sample and wall? or some kind of drums being manipulated and then jason noise?

SEISM COMPLEX VARIABLE NOISE?!

no not really hes just using the mandelbrot fractal as the cover...

3

Invasive Urinary Bacteria

Live Session (2025) [Additional release]

Harsh Noise

"live cellnoise"

will be interesting to see how this is continually pushed as the community develops. this session is definitely leagues ahead of all the silly first wave cell stuff from earlier this year, but it also feels less connected to gore than that stuff was.

3

Halophilic Arousal

Morhz Zhyrgyl Jyjydjyz Hyhyldomr (2025) [Single]

Black Metal, Avant-Garde Metal

Noise

the nice thing about this job onboarding process is that they are giving us a break every hour for some reason (im literally on my third break of the day as im writing this lol) and i get to risten to musiq

glad to see bag is back in action that warms my cold mineral heart. doing black metal is unexpected but welcome surprise; very blown out wall feeling from this. really love the vocals and how theyre mixed, but i wish this was a lot longer and leaned more into that gated stuff it does in the outro. its a good teaser, im predicting goat of the goats on this new album hes working on

3

Mental Cruelty

Pereat Mundus (2016) [EP]

Slam Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal, Deathcore

Deathcore, Downtempo Deathcore

heavy, aggressive, rhythmic, violence, harsh vocals

in the process of getting new job and the evil of my mind makes me spend a fucking hour of my morning mv driving to get documents from my parents house which is 👍

good rec shave. totally agree that the vocals are the best part of this, remind me a lot of infant annihilator; maybe its the really big post production emphasis. i wish the actual music had way more character though this rly suffers from le modern production. the breakdowns are insane though they reach what feels like 40bpm its really heavy (wish the guitars matched that tone though) and it reminds me a lot of ULTRA SLUDGE or HYPER DOOM! (is this influence of the Downtempo Deathcore the croomfs have been talking about? perhaps i need to investigate...)

Cuntsniffer

Untitled (2024) [Compilation]

good morning it migjt be a new day but im still only wanting to hear cuntsniffer sorry

i know this is a comp of stuff ive basically already heard but i thought maybe if i rehear i will rediscover sogs i like but nope its mostly whatever fine stuff. maybe the first song i would come back to.

i wonder why they dont just compile their goated singles into an album

Close My Eyes

Robot Retardation (2003)

Mathcore

Deathcore, Grindcore

3

The Cherry Point

Grisly Death (2004) [Single]

Harsh Noise

ill say its a bit too passivr for what i want in tcp stuff (and also kinda quiet?). still a nice range of textures and movement

3

Ahlzagailzehguh

Bypassing Time Passing (2007)

Harsh Noise

def the best ahlz ive heard so far. lots of variety; not sure what his setup could even be but it really feels like he gets an infinite amount of textures out of it. love the huge deeper lines (using rita nomenclature 🤓)

3.5

Convectorh & DJ 0000

Bozon II (2012) [DJ Mix]

Flashcore

3

Evil World (2025) [Single]

Rage

Cloud Rap

kinda just like cold visions c side or smth idk

I Heart Kittens (2002) [Additional release]

Emo, Post-Hardcore, Melodic Metalcore

sentimental, lo-fi, bittersweet, male vocalist

played noise show tonight.

Gay Cum Daddies opened. i thought i would miss their set but it seemed we all started a bit late. classic no waving stuff. always a fun time watching reece and rick figure out how exactly to play the next song. i didnt realize they had a keyboardist, is that new?

puppy mill second. same usual ness but they got a new drummer and new second bassist i think? new drummer is not as nonchalant as last but helps with vocals which is nice. they really need to do noise while playing songs

Blank Hellscape played next they are touring they have new music or didn't know that before. one of their noise guys was sick so reece played guitar with them last minute. super weird addition and you couldn't hear him too well but it was cool; apparently his pedalboard broke and he had to play without it lol. i think like last time i saw them they have great ideas and loud cool noise but they always play 50 minutes minimum and its fucking 11:40 yall! vocals were a bit too quiet. i liked the loud hits part.

we played last. interesting playing in a record store as a 6 member noise act bc the quality really depends on the PA and we got "lucky" being able to use BHs. it sounded kind of like live lofi it was cool. very psychedelic apparently. i got to share a table with Big Hole :D

this was nice. the first and last interlude bits 🥹

Summer Sampler 2006 (2006) [Additional release]

today is vacation day so gf and i spend it going to a state park and hiking, then we go thrifting and eat olive garden.

the weather is so nice! we have to take advantage of this kind of thing.

this was nice. feels like a step up from their first (i havent heard their second). def at least in terms of breakdowns and im loving the more rhythmic mathy influence on that stuff. i know its soy but the spiritbox comparisons are just too easy to make. her screams totally outshine laplante's tho shes kind of nuts on this. feel like lack of memorable parts and normal boring production rly stunt this for me

gf said she didnt care much not their best album

Synthetic Organic Impedance (2018) [EP]

Grindcore

Black Metal

infernal, angry, heavy, anxious

yall remember when the worst tried ts and it literally never caught on 😭

decent stuff. its got energy even if its all pretty homogenous. the first track used to be in the regular cycle back in highschool; now that im thinking about it this might be the first or one of the first metal releases i ever liked

Bounce VIP / Funk Hole VIP (2014) [Single]

Drumstep, Brostep

Electro House

a commenter reminded me of this little project...

bounce vip is literally the greatest shit ever, that build up is second to only the 2013 shambhala's intro in its entirety, *chills from the badassery* and the drop is perfect, exactly what you want when you hear the original (once your VIPilled you really can never go back).

funk hole's vip is also good, but theres some caveats to consider if youre thinking about it versus the original. i think the original has way more low end range and is generally "bigger" so to speak, but the faster tempo and more exciting rhythms in the vip make it difficult to ignore. not really sure whats happening at the end with the goofy brostep beat but im going to ignore that for this discussion.

Tearout [Brostep]

rhythmic, mechanical, dark, sampling, heavy

a rotting friend reminded me of this one...

four years ago all i had to say about this was "boring" lol

well it still is kinda boring at times but coming back i def missed a lot of the aspects that make it good. tearout production will always be interesting and this is no exception. drops are fine but Behemoth really sticks out to me, love how it plays with low ms delay stuff. i think the majn thing holding back all these tracks is just a lack of atmosphere and really strong character. they all feel very skeletal (but not in a MTGFYT way) like half finished song ideas just rushing to get to a crazy drop.

maybe i will check out more from them this year

milo and otis' is great, but if it wants to end up in one of my mixes it needs some bigger bass and in general just more gain 🔥

vkhan's is pretty awesome too, i especially love the tempo change in the last drop. very fun

ape drum's is completely forgettable. nothing

i was never big on flux p's remix. its probably pretty exciting in a festival setting but i just dont care about his style of "big chords". its good vibes i guess. definitely doesnt beat the original

Barely Alive

Fiber Optic EP (2015) [EP]

Brostep, Twerk

Bass House, Jungle Terror, Moombahton

it seems that at this point in their career, BA began moving away from strictly brostep stuff into more eclectic twerk adjacent territories.

the ep kicks off however with a classic barely alive brostep track. lots of stuff to appreciate in the drop and their sound design is sharp and punctual as always.

Boston Shit doesnt do a lot for me but i respect its percussive pallet. its quite overshadowed however by Lasers Up which perfectly captures the exciting festival twerk atmosphere with a stabbing drop. lots to love there. Work It does nothing for me; the vocal sample is quite annoying and the track itself is very unmemorable.

Habstrakt's remix makes the obvious big room connection but i dont imagine myself ever listening to it again, especially since the original was already so good to begin with.

pretty consistent and somewhat competent. polaroid, blush and girls love boys stick out to me as clean and effective pop tracks (the last one especially with some nice softer vocals towards the end). i cant stress enough how awful Pom Pom Pom is, literally just because of the guitar. the EDM version is so much better, and you know they thought so too because its fucking included here. why they didnt just stick with a psytrance kpop track is fucking beyond me lol.

Getter

Shambhala 2014 Mix (2014) [DJ Mix]

Brostep

im on fucking vacation bitch so its dj mixes all day every day

not to be confused with Shambhala Mix 2014. unfortunately also not even on par with it, Getter's mix is far shorter yet moves at 75% the pace of Excision's. theres also a healthy amount of track overlap, and Getter is generally way less focused (see the Get Low inclusion (??))

a handful of pretty iffy transitions as well as some questionable mashups dont help, but Getter is lucky that the scene in 2014 was good enough to completely carry any mix it wound up on just based off drops alone.

importantly this is a sunrise mix, so it's understandably quite laid back and non-intense. lots of electro house/bassline house and general house adjacent stuff; quite danceable and fun. im not familiar with mija, but its impressive how deep skrillex's knowledge goes as his track selections fit so well here. mostly. the last 10-15 min is like a nostalgia banger throwback section which i could have really done without but it was obviously the vibe so i wont fault them. good for doing chores to

Virtual Riot x Barely Alive

Head to Head Vol. 1 (2020) [EP]

Brostep, Briddim, Riddim

ROUND ONE:

Pray for Riddim is characteristically soulless like most VR stuff. fine sound design but feels like some shit you get recommended on tiktok

Wompum is fat and exciting. has me thinking i really need to investigate BA's mid-late discog more because wow

WINNER: BARELY ALIVE

ROUND TWO:

Cry Some More isnt as bland as Pray... but again its just like... virtual riot lol. i dont know something about his style just totally nullifies all the technically impressive aspects of his music.

Odyssey has the most ludicrous and unseriously stupid intro of all time that also lasts like half of the fucking song. drop comes out of nowhere and does not make up for the strenuous journey it took to get there.

WINNER: sigh... Virtual Riot...

OVERALL: while i appreciate BA's drops and style way more, they take some risks i dont vibe with. VR plays it way too safe on the other hand and leaves a very uninteresting impression on me. Numbers say its a draw, but i think ill give it to Barely Alive anyway

Pop Rap, Dance-Pop, House

Hip House, Garage House, Diva House, Acid House

female vocalist, nonbinary vocalist, fashion, futuristic, self-love

quite interesting. 100% instrumental carried, in fact this might be the first kpop track ive ever heard where i have felt some kind of necessity to hear the instrumental version on its own. the drop feels very sophie inspired (yeah foad idc) and is super satisfying.

the rapping is definitely a point of concern, BUT i think it makes it very texturally exciting and overwhelming; its super maximalist since their flows are pretty constant on top of backing vocals and all the nuts stuff happening in the instrumental.

hopefully they explore this a bit more.

if this is how underground rave survives today then im okay with it. obnoxious at first but the packaging is really just like what a lot of early witch house was doing. understand that a vast majority of the underground is appropriating and re-contextualizing crumbs of the mainstream. the tape ends but the party doesnt. the second quarter loses me but the last half entirely is some of the most mesmerizing stuff ever.

played nojse set on a huge bill heres the super fast recap

r.wet - missed

tecali - midi flute and finger blast beats. awesome

american cruelty - shrug computer nojse but it crashed mid set and the result was compositionally similar to Blood Red

venetian video cats - took 100 years to setup then played silly midi electronic. cute masks

matt burgess - no name act he played bc someone dropped. awesome toy music and then crazy harsh

victoria spoilia - throat singing drone. cool

freakhorse - acid loop -> noise. was a bit patience testing but i respect what theyre about. wore a spiral tribe shirt so they get passing grade at least

jaycie carver - didnt see her set but heard it. sounded like last time: junk metal dark ambient

pervert ward - gorgeous late-era whitehouse screeching noise and a... vocalist. no comment.

reece mclean - #1 tape player in the country. cant believe hes playing wembley this year

juicers - this was me and friends. our set accidentally cut short which sucks but we sounded good af and i cut myself a bit on accident

louise fristensky - distorted synth drone.

rrose selavies - angel hnw guitar and a... vocalist.

bbl grinder - didnt stay to see

listened after whata on the way home. like death industrial ascites. pretty fuckin boring. sadly

Anascara (2013) [EP]

Harsh Noise, Free Improvisation

on paper it seems like everything i could possibly ask for from a release - the blistering intense surgical dissection meets spastic jazz grind improv drumming!

but actually it is not really that exciting. gonzalez plays much more sparsely, taking his time but also not trying to fill in every gap, and the trio really dont try to over exert themselves in their noise. it doesnt help either than they are mixed.... quieter? than the drums? the overall effect is something closer to death industrial than anything ascites

still, gonzalez is a great drummer and there is a nice lofi charm to this that i like. maybe if this was studio recordings, not just live takes...

Rich Man (2025)

aespa

Review by frankiesocean

1.00 stars

aespa comes back with their worst album, somehow beating Girls and Drama. And at least with those projects, there were songs that stood out, but that doesn’t happen in this EP.

This EP lacks any innovation. Very boring with non-rewarding choruses, no emotion, no sick instrumentals. It’s quite literally Temu K-Pop, and K-Pop is already a Temu version of hip-hop. A lot of these songs legit feel like SM is trying to sabotage aespa. It lacks anything that made aespa special in the first place.

As a long time fan, it definitely does hurt a bit, especially with MYs eating anything up. I was lowkey fine with their bsides being shit from a butt, but it has started leaking into their singles and title tracks. SM needs to regroup and talk about what they want to do with aespa. Aespas sound thrives in chaos, unpredictablility, and innovation. None of these songs have any of those traits. It’s sad. Can they come back from this? I don’t know. Just last year we got Supernova and Whiplash, which in my opinion, is their best work.

SM is trying very hard to appeal to the west, which in turn alienates their already established fanbase. And… you end up with the “Rich Man” EP, which has no cohesion, no innovation, and no emotion.

Rich Man: pop rock, pop rap, 2.5/5

Starting off with the Cher quote, that’s quite literally being repeated 50 times throughout the 3:17 song. We get it, you’re a rich man. Mixing is very muffled for me. Even with good headphones, it’s hard to pick up a lot of details in the instrumental. The song is devoid of any emotion the demo had. The demo was almost grunge, very emotional, and being a feminist in a man’s world. It’s like SM took the instrumental, muffled it, took any emotion out, and gave us the la croix version. There’s not a lot of high or low moments. At least with Dirty Work, there was parts where I couldn’t deny it was good, whether that be the instrumental or bridge. But Rich Man? I couldn’t care less about anything they did in that song. Which is sad. An aespa title track shouldn’t be boring. Also, why are we talk rapping so much? Where are the vocals?

Drift: pop rap, trap, 1.5/5

I get what they were trying to do. I really do. But god damn that chorus is very bad. Like extremely bad. I think the verses are pretty good though. I think the minimalist instrumental sounds good in some parts. They needed way more stuff happening in that chorus, though. I have no idea what they were thinking. Very K-Pop, NCT core in the worst way possible.

Bubble: electropop, pop rap, 2.5/5

Again, I get what they’re trying to do. The main chorus is absolute shite, but the post chorus and verses are pretty good. The song sounds Sophie inspired, if Sophie’s music was sent to Jack Antonoff, he then had to reproduce it by memory, and then sent to a K-Pop producer to strip it of anything that made it unique.

Count On Me: contemporary rnb, 3/5

Its okay. I don’t really have any notes on this song. It has a good melody. But pretty uninspired. Definitely not as good as their previous RNB songs.

Angel #48: electropop, and something else idk, 3/5

The most interesting track on the EP. I always think it’s good when I don’t know what the genres on a song are. But the chorus is juvenile, and the talking they do randomly “It’ll always be you..” is really bad. But other than that I think the instrumental and verses are great. It doesn’t feel like aespa, like at all though. Sounds like a song from a completely different group. Which isn’t necessarily bad, when done right, but here it is a bit jarring.

To The Girls: pop rock, stomp and holler, 1/5

I literally don’t even want to review this. Straight shite from a tuna can. Yes SM, we aespa stans want MORE MORE MORE POP ROCK BALLAD SONGS!!!!!! What the hell, fuck you

SM, it’s okay to revisit the Savage vault, please <3

actually a rly good track with some super crazy production. its nuts to me how they just keep deconstructing the drop, and the piano is crazy. great vocal sample too

Mathcore, Sass, Emoviolence

Grindcore, Deathcore

aggressive, chaotic, angry, manic

certainly not any chickenviolence but still exciting nonetheless. good breakdowns, epic mix. ping is pinging. cover was tasteful too

Tiktok Live (2023) [EP]

Harsh Noise

Dark Ambient

its actually kinda...good? the pure noise bits are pretty ripping and the actual concept is kinda neat - i fw the subtle collage aspect and also the tiktok "field recordings" in the second track, but the long stretches of dark ambient reverb junk sounds kill the momentum and sour it for me. ill be relistening i think, might be better with some quality headphones

Female Autoerotic Asphyxiation

a Loner's Morbid Fascination With Skulls, Torsos and a Fetus Found in the Pump Station... (2025)

Gorenoise

huh. well, it is cool that its so high concept, but like... its kind of just literally gorenoise with sewer fetus and dahmer samples. the concept seems like an afterthought. but it does make me think of The Wild Blue Yonder, crafting a narrative out of found clips, and i do like the incessant barrage of various news outlets' reports on the fetus lol, creates a unique vibe... but also likeeee samples. good bubly vocals. kinda wish it wasnt so mid-tempo.

ASMR

it has been almost 1000 days without you. i have not gone one of them forgetting. too much time i spend writing things to send you or finding things to show you; always asking you what you think or wondering what you're going to say. even more time i spend regretting everything i did say and everything i wish i did. it guts me to admit i wasnt there for you towards the end, the last thing you ever read from me was that i forgot what i was going to tell you. but i know how these things are: we couldnt have been close enough; there was never going to be enough time, i was always going to want one more day. it doesnt hurt any less. all i want to do now is carry you - what i have left of you - with me, everywhere, until we meet again.

reminds me a lot of gabi losoncy. not sure we ever talked about her (maybe her collab with the rita). i think you would disagree with the ASMR tag, but then i guess its a good thing you arent here to downvote it 😊

happy 10k 🎉

Deterge

Deity (2014) [EP]

Harsh Noise

Power Electronics

i think a good litmus test for me to determine what noise is above the 3-limbo cut is if you can never find a volume loud enough for it: some shit you cant stop turning up.

masterpiece of the C5 format. two totally killer screeching tracks with lots of ultra nasty outbursts. pure succinct lethality. both are great, but i think track 1 is the biggest takeaway

3.5

Little Fictions

Love & Girls (2014) [Single]

Harsh Noise Wall

weird day at work today because it was definitely buns but it lowkey... wasnt? in a good mood for some reason today and just breezed through all the workload and with time to spare too. but my body is sore my feetsies hurt and i hungy

cant believe i ever gave this 2.5 (on some real i will hinestly have to revisit so much wall from my earlier days in the genre) because its so good. perfect crumbling, very subtle cracking. huge low end stuff. so awesome

3.5

Little Fictions

Idaho (2012) [Single]

Harsh Noise

still perfect and lovely. so comfortable, like the most memorable heartfelt liveset ever; the kind of stuff that reinvigorates that love for noise. why my friends all hate this ill never know...

3.5

Human Skin Lanterns

Skin Stripperess (1995)

Harsh Noise

Power Electronics, Ambient

repetitive, dissonant, chaotic, raw, sexual

seemed appropriate for the rain idk.

still nice but its kind of not as effective for me. definitely really uncomfortable and heat-suffocation; super fucking filthy and unleashed raw perversive sweat-drenched curdling nausea looping feedback agony. my old entry also mentions buzzing insects of some sort, if that helps paint the kind of "action" present in this. but i kind of wish it was just... more violent than that? or at least like half the length it is. i still appreciate the lofi nastiness but its just lost the magic. i hope v2 is more exciting

Harsh Noise

thankfully this still holds up. infinitely fractalizing textural reflection psychotics and pure aural evisceration

randa the fucking goat

4

Kevin Drumm

Purge (2007)

Harsh Noise

Drone, Harsh Noise Wall

noisy, aggressive, dense, infernal, hypnotic

very fucking massive with a capital MASS! if it kept up the energy of the first half the whole way through it would be still peak to me, but weirdly it suffers a similar fate Universal Torus suffers from, somehow feels disjointed (i guess this is several recordings stitched together) and ultimately loses energy in the last third. still, this is pretty damn awesome and one of his best noise efforts. deep textures. nice wall influence

3.5

The Farewell Chapter

Desensitizing Your Arrogance by Giving You a Run for Your Fucking Money (2002) [EP]

Mathcore, Emoviolence, Sass

Grindcore

dissonant, lo-fi, chaotic, aggressive, manic

revisits equal infinite joy

so insanely dense it makes the short bits of guitar only or silence so impactful. every second counts. lightspeed drumming. perfection

3.5 for now...

Zbigniew Karkowski & Brent Gutzeit

Universal Torus (2022)

Harsh Noise

todays morning is academic noise.

definitely huge at times and its interesting all the different movements, but coming back to it it feels less total and more disjointed. zbugniew fell off 😱

3.5

Interracial Sex

Apefrica (2020)

Power Electronics

Harsh Noise, Sound Collage

misanthropic, sampling, scary, satirical, conscious

revisiting its easy to see why i fw it so hard but it doesnt do a whole lot for me anymore. its provocative and exciting conceptually but i just dont care for a few of the tracks. that said, the last two are pretty damn awesome. wish he did more ripping shit like that

3

Machismo

Severe Disconnect (2013)

Power Electronics, Harsh Noise

aggressive, noisy, violence, hateful, dark

still easily one of my fav pe tapes ever.

first side is genuinely the best shit on earth. just nonstop no bs tearing and annihilation fuck you destroy all life

b side gets a bit iffy with the first two tracks. im not huge on the sampling or the looped sample format, but the noise is still killa enough to keep it above water.

3.5

Dave Gilden

Texas Chainsaw Dopefiend (1996)

Harsh Noise

Sound Collage, Industrial

noisy, dense, chaotic, lo-fi, aggressive

waiting to do 10k in the mean time i relisten some things.

revisiting with more attentive listening im realizing how compositionally interesting this is. its kind of subversive the way it (to me) comes off as pure longform ripping just looking at the package, but really its like a ton of super varied smaller tracks all strung together. listening in the headspace that it isnt makes it feel like gilden just has an infinitely large setup; so many unique and one-time ideas, theres always something new cropping up and he never lingers or revisits. it definitely is a bit too long, if this was just like 30-40 min it would be so perfect, but still essential for every body in the world i think

3.5

Dead Body Love

Puke on My Corpse (1996)

Harsh Noise

Power Electronics, Harsh Noise Wall

i get the hype. too lovely. really appreciate the careful blend of wall and dynamic harshes. lamo is so facts about the samples.

3.5

Hypoxyphilia / Niku Daruma

Niku Daruma / Hypoxyphilia (2020) [EP]

3.5

Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio

Pakistani Pomade (1973)

European Free Jazz

Free Improvisation

avant-garde, chaotic, anxious, instrumental, improvisation

today starts with some comfy improv. i like a lot of the quieter sparse stuff. idk not huge imapct but deefinitely a fun listen

3

Meltawaylikematter

Brand New Colony (2022) [Single]

Noise Pop, Indietronica

wasnt so crazy until the end. real mind blowing stuff i thinks. could do with less high end frequencies in the piano though

3.5

Himukalt

Septic (2020)

Death Industrial

Power Electronics

holds itself back by trying to appeal to death industrial cliches but there is some genuinely good noise work at display here. lacks impact as well

3

Sunk Cost

Extreme Concrete (2025)

Harsh Noise

Harsh Noise Wall

heavy, nocturnal, lethargic, aggressive, dissonant

first side is some pretty good cut up rippage, second side is more of that dope wall he played for his set this week. Johnny you may have a strangely large ballsack, but you sure do know how to work your pedal rig.

3.5

Lord Snow

Have You Heard of the High Elves (2025)

Emoviolence

Math Rock, Mathcore

energetic, dissonant, noisy, chaotic, raw

no i dont believe i have

certainly conpelling and may need a relisten or so. highs are pretty high, but theres a few questionable choices and for the most part its simply just good 👍

further investigation required. good vocals and drums

3

Pig Heart Transplant

Hope You Enjoy Heaven (2008)

Industrial, Noise, Sludge Metal

Power Electronics, Dark Ambient, Drone Metal

disturbing, hateful, misanthropic, heavy, lethargic

got it from the mr incredible becomes uncanny at sludge metal video

not rly sludge its more like swans death industrial (aka BORING!) the list of features is misleading as fuck this is lame

2.5

I Broke My Robot (2006) [EP]

IDM, Breakcore

Flashcore

nice. we already all know about 2 and 3, but 1 and 4 were new for me. i like the very prominent breakflash stuff on 4, and 1 is just nice programming. i just dont think theres enough real juicy bits for me to enjoy this any more though - maybe this is the kind of stuff that takes many listens

3

Slikback & Skrillex

Kixa (2025) [Single]

Deconstructed Club

Tearout [Brostep], IDM, Power Noise, Slimepunk, Halftime

noisy, rhythmic, complex, technical, avant-garde

wow surprised this is getting like no attention. sounds like a fus b side or something. really cool stuff, i dont think id ever come back but its just crazy as fuck honestly so yeah

3.5

Current Value

The Edge of the Cliff / Dark Rain (2006) [Single]

Darkstep

Skullstep

dark, aggressive, heavy, mysterious, ominous

gud darksrep stuff. signature old cv atmosphere (esp on dark rain). nothing super special id say. probably nuts on the dance floor

3

Various Artists

The Gift of Noise (1983) [Compilation]

Noise Rock

never listen to no wave old heads. dont be fooled this is pretty boring honestly, and the noise rock tag is applied very loosely, most of these guys are drum machine acts closer to suicide than they are no trend. speaking of which, they easily outshine everyone else here. i forgot how good mass sterilization is

2.5

The Farewell Chapter

The First Three Chapters of the End of My Life (2001) [Additional release]

Emoviolence, Mathcore

Grindcore

heavy, aggressive, dissonant, chaotic, noisy

slower and a bit less violent than their followup. good but nothing standout i think

3

Холостой выстрел [Holostoj Vystrel]

Тотальный Исход (1993)

Death Metal, Thrash Metal

heavy, aggressive, lo-fi, raw, manic

pretty creative songwriting that always dances on some kind of tripoint of any number of combinations of different genres but thats whats dope. love the dark weirdo sound, and i really like the vocals, surprisingly.

3

Mortem

Amputator (1993)

Brutal Death Metal

dense, misanthropic, heavy, dark, violence

im gonna be honest i got these russian metal recs from a mr incredible uncanny vid lol

like everyone else is saying its very cannibal corpse worship but its still pretty fun and good sense of riffing. not a big fan of the drum sound tho

3

Аспид [Aspid]

Кровоизлияние [Extravasation] (1993)

Technical Thrash Metal

Progressive Metal

aggressive, technical, uncommon time signatures, complex, energetic

undeniably kick ass. the remaster sounds so good, these are some of the best sounding thrash (maybe all of metal) drums ever, and talk about a killer performance. whiplash groove changes and wild progressive songwriting. the occasional breakdown also proves they know how to groove as fuck

3.5

Teenage Jesus and The Jerks

Teenage Jesus and The Jerks (1979) [Compilation]

Experimental Rock, Noise Rock, Post-Punk

Art Punk

nihilistic, noisy, raw, female vocalist, misanthropic

another BAVE rec. super weirdo stuff but its really awesome. always love the drums in these canon no wave releases; its so inspiring to me hearing how these kids were so violently reacting to all this post punk stuff but they just didnt have the language to express it any other way.

3.5

Suppression

Spiritual Sepsis (2024)

Powerviolence, Noisegrind

Noisecore

energetic, noisy, aggressive, raw, death

seeing them live definitely helped me unlock some appreciation for what theyre doing. i think the lamest part is just that this isnt mixed like they sound live, but thats an unrealistic expectation maybe. anyway, its all around really really fun pv related stuff, it doesnt sound like them but just in execution makes me think a lot of the locust. terrible cover but i guess theyre like 50

3.5

Yuno Miles

Super Speed Rap (2025) [Music video]

Detroit Sound, Comedy Rap, Experimental Hip Hop, Novelty

Glitch

novelty, humorous, male vocalist

HUGE DAY of awesomeness at the venue we all know and love: RUBBER GLOVES REHEARSAL STUDIOS with ROCKTIME and FLAVE

first up is Testicular Necrosis with Daniel Ryan and i forgror drummers name. manic insane noisecore (emphasis on the NOISE) with vocals from both. Daniel taps into his lower register which was nice. great grind drumming, fire stop starts. the night starts strong

next was Puppy Mill which i have discussed before; Powerviolence with little shaker box noise interludes and some free improv between tracks. i dont love pv, but they are always a fun watch, dig their energy.

afterwards was Addicted to Acid with members NoiseAngel, Rick Eye, forgor drummers name, and new addition Princess Haultaine III on vocals. Angel holds down the high end frequencies with her super ugly shredding (compliment) and Rick leads the drummer through some real obtuse noisecore. but the real star of the show is Haultaine: he ran vocals through his own chain of effects and they ended up being louder than every other member combined. huge props for the extremely oppressive extended sludge section.

still going strong it was Sunk Cost's turn. i knew of him through BDRR but i didnt really know anything apparently. i guess its just how he normally plays but he stripped completely naked and peed in a trash can halfway through the set. the actual noise was pretty good too

Psywarfare i had already seen at flaw but they were a treat once again. very interactive: the set was mostly the little hype dude walking around with a mic and a little effects pedal letting people shout or tweak knobs. ended with the buzzsaw on metal scrap covering everyone in sparks. the actual music was pretty weak but you cant not have fun lol

i was a bit nervous Suppression would not hold up, some of their recordings i am neutral on, but man were they amazing. if spacek and cautery didnt follow them up they would have easily been the best band of the night. ridiculously locked in, the stops felt studio quality. love the energy, some really cool drumming too (WTF HES THE CITY OF CATERPILLAR DRUMMER???)

no cap though Sissy Spacek steals the night. post-everything noisecore eternally taping itself over and walls of nausea and pinging vibration. no shit, i think at one point isaac's hand wasnt even moving he was hitting the snare so fast

the end of our night was Sulfuric Cautery. still just as good as last time but their new stuff is really something else live. isaac just totally understands that the 4 most important beats in any song is the snare hits right before it starts. the riffs were also kinda amazing, underrated feature of their music. ended with an Orchidectomy cover which is awesome as fuck. i bought Subsequent Torture Sessions 2019-2021

anyway bro put me on. very texturally interesting. pretty cool stuff though honestly. yeah animal crossing whatever

3.5

Forever United Ever Bright

Allblack Wraith *419 (2022)

Cloud Rap, Experimental Hip Hop, Gangsta Rap, UK Drill

heavy, surreal, sampling, nocturnal, dark

last one of the day, glaive told me to peep. im not rly crazy about fu's drilled n screwed stuff and this isnt rly an exception. occasionally fun or inventive, i like the last track and the first one is cool with the speed changes, but i honestly dont care at all for the actual content here.

2.5

myspacemark

Happily Ever After (2025)

Cloud Rap, Pop Rap, PluggnB

Neo-Grime, PluggnB, Wave, Jerk, Trap

sampling, urban, hedonism, rhythmic, sexual

beh. lots of very predictable sounding deliveries and songwriting. feels like going through the motions or just not risking enough. he has a yungster jack esque voice

2.5

Disconformity

Depravation of Stigma (2005) [EP]

Slam Death Metal

heavy, dark, aggressive, energetic, bouncy

highly requested revisit for slam sunday.

never clocked how melodic this is, even the vocals sometimes. not huge on the rap flows honestly. its very traditional sounding instrumentally though, and i appreciate that and its dedication to groove and riffage, but it just lacks something next level for me. something about all of these piecez coming together and not fully meshing

ampere's tracks are like fleeting car crashes. total sensory overload. love it. funeral diner's is actually more than twice as long as both of their tracks combined and is what one might expect from them but, alas, they are a popular pick for a reason. gorgeous guitar work, stellar songwriting.

easily some of the greatest noise ever, totally captures what i love about their live stuff but with some really solid mixing - its dense but its crazy how you can hear like EVERYTHING, like ryans modular/sampling stuff that usually gets drowned out at shows. A1 is the normie highlight, but fucking B1 is the patrician pick. like literally recusrive fractal junk noise and buildings collapsing forever in helix patterns and demolishing!!!!

Ants in the Afterbirth

Ants in the Afterbirth (2023)

Harsh Noise

heavy, dense, lo-fi, raw

nice dense lofi rippage. feel like its missing some juice to take it to the next level, maybe just the singular long song formst thats filtering me. the vocals were a dope touch

in loving memory of the young justin who sadly banned away last night. we can only hope he went peacefully, singing his favorite songs off of Teflon Don...

Middle Mass

Songs for the Sapphire Hare (2025)

Post-Punk

Noise Rock, Post-Rock

pretty cool stuff. got the cd for this when we played with them (of course im listening on spotify though!!!!!!!!) because they were bad ass.

its def not as exciting in a studio format as it is live but one key difference is how much better the vocals sound. she can really sing! and the guitars are superb too. i think the drums lose a bit of life, and its also just a bit long at 40 min. still i enjoy most of it and a few tracks are inspiring in a way

rly not a fan of the cover lol

The Get Up Kids

Four Minute Mile (1997)

Emo-Pop, Pop Punk, Midwest Emo

Midwest Emo

bittersweet, passionate, raw, energetic, breakup

lyrically weaker than their 2nd but the guitars on this are impeccable. amazing last track. will be revisiting...

Oktober Skyline

That's How Tripods Work (2005)

Mathcore, Sass, Grindcore

Emoviolence, Sludge Metal

chaotic, manic, aggressive, male vocalist, uncommon time signatures

pretty awesome. great vocals, inspiring drum parts. some of the slower sections get on my nerves but the last track makes up for it. exciting free sass

im in a good mood! or maybe im off my rocker again...

3.5

Incapacitants

D.D.D.D. (Destroy Devastating and Disgusting Derivatives) (1995)

Harsh Noise

noisy, infernal, avant-garde, instrumental

first track is real good. killer stuff. second one is kinda boring but is interesting from a historical standpoint; proto-wall stuff

not sure why the moots have it relatively low, its so comforting... soft rumbling bass and nice little crackling sprinkles. slug

Current Value

Overflow EP (2025) [EP]

Neurofunk

Jump-Up

energetic, atmospheric, futuristic, mechanical

the first track is pretty interesting, dig the drop and the gating in the verses, but the other tracks dont do much for me. i like the verses in the last tracks; i agree with that one person that the way he uses vocal samples isnt bery good.

3

Sedarka

Shibashi Todomen (2004)

Flashcore, Glitch

instrumental, rhythmic, chaotic, cold, avant-garde

nice rainy morning today. i like when it randomly flash floods then the sky be acting like nothing happened.

takes a bit to get off its feet but the run from IV to atomhead's remix is undeniably some amazing glitching madness. wierd that all the flashers seem to dislike or not care for it; maybe i'm off my rocker again

Blood Bags (2025)

Harsh Noise Wall, Ambient Noise Wall

finally added all the images for this artist (thanks for that tay) so now we can all listen

decided to start here bc its relatively short and the cover doesnt suck that much.

kind of weird inbetween harsh and ambient wall. big rumbljng bass but its not very loud. curious.

the others seem like blaring harsh we'll see

Bozon (2012) [DJ Mix]

Flashcore

Ambient

this is really nice. i think im in a better spot to appreciate the more ambient flashcore stuff, i should relisten to the vortex comp. not to say this doesnt also have ripping sections but that was my makn takeaway. gorgeous sound design of course

Mirrors (2008)

gf wanted to rewatch with me. kind of a silly premise, who hires a crew of security guards to patrol an abandoned burned down building 24/7? surely it cant pay that much.

super duper inconsistent. ending turns into spoiler: click to read.

Zero-Risk Syndrome (2014)

Kobaryo

Splittercore

late to first class today and its so hot its fucking pissing me off and the parking is abysmal but whatever.

randomly remembered this; listening to a bunch of osu music today for some reason. i used to think this was so fucking bad ass in highschool. its got a really dark and mysterious vibe to it that i like. coming back its like kinda lol whatever. its still fun but like the samples in the beginning are so dumb and that damn trap section in the middle makes zero sense. definitely more fun for playing maps to. the ending climax is still pretty dope though

2Slimey

Experimental Hip Hop, Terror Plugg, Dark Plugg

Power Noise

heavy, vulgar, aggressive, bassy, avant-garde

feeling a bit sick so fuck my fucking life

Mr. Take a Loss (2024) [EP]

Emo Rap, PluggnB

male vocalist, longing, sad, bright, introspective

3

Pop Culture Rape Victim

A Means to a Beginning (2003)

im not really sure why it doesnt work at all but it just doesnt. feels like it wants to be humorous party noise ala emil beaulieau but isnt doing enough to be that. idk. either way it was just boring as fuck to me

Brutal Truth

Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses (1992)

Deathgrind

angry, aggressive, political, energetic, heavy

finally home and now we do chores and rock out to metal 🤘 and play word play on steam

half expected this to be some really gay art grind shit (it occasionally is unfortunately) but luckily the majority of the runtime is pretty slangin deathgrind madness. i think if it was cut down a bit shorter it would be way awesomer

seems like they either fell of their rocker or grindbros werent ready for their avant sound? i may investigate...

3

Green Tea

Private Universe (2025)

Harsh Noise

Turntable Music

didnt realize bro dropped twice this year (thrice?!) already. i will hear the others expeditiously

not as inventive or exciting as arcana, but its still got its highlights. really sonically interesting kind of musique- derived harsh noise stuff that is cool. loses me a bit with the poorly implemented samples (vapor blade... not even gonna entertain ts) but i suppose it does occasionally hit those "emotional climaxes" its trying to find. hate the cover honestly

admittedly though the last track is fucking perfect

3

GobChang

The 1st Hate Demonstration (2023) [Additional release]

Grindcore, Noisecore

saw a vid from the drummer on youtube and then watched a few more and then listened. they just need to release their live sets as eps i think would be awesome lol. still fun though. needs diff recording though it sounds quite small

3.5

Mania / Deterge

Garrulous Opinion (2018)

Harsh Noise, Power Electronics

doesnt say but im assuming mania is first deterge is second.

mania side is like kinda slower typical keith feedback stuff. its not great but its hardly bad

deterge lets me down though with some really cliche death industrial sounding stuff like heavy reverb vocals and crawling noise. so boring

2.5

Worship

Last Tape Before Doomsday (1999) [Additional release]

Funeral Doom Metal

depressive, suicide, pessimistic, apocalyptic, funereal

another.

still pretty solid but doesn't do much for me anymore. i still respect the songwriting and cobvictional performance but i just don't grab onto anything.

3

Dev/Null

Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium Demo 2002 (2002) [Additional release]

Breakcore

Drill and Bass, Glitch

chaotic, uncommon time signatures, atonal, noisy

prelistened

forgot about it but i remembered when knave amd i talked about flashcore. it's not flashcore everyone listen and downvote that. still cool programming and stuff though really liked first track (reminds me of the worst) and dig dug butt plug (love the synths/melodics). still feels weak in the middle though. not sure why qwertyasdfgey hates last track its fun

3

Discordance Axis

Ulterior (1995)

Grindcore

raw, cryptic, heavy, dissonant, introspective

really raw bestial and aggressive. much better than jouhou in my opinion. definitely feel the insect warfare comparisons

Too EXXXtreme for Scene (2008)

Gorenoise

noisy, sexual

why do the moots hate it this iS AWESOME!

omph side is ping paradise cant turn it up loud enough and this is easily the best uti material ever perfect mix and sound no bullshit awesomeness

haem side is easily the weakest and has too many samples 💔 but is still good because of sound grindcore writing and awesome alien transmission ringtone vocals

3.5

Ripped

Through My Eyes (1993)

Technical Thrash Metal

Avant-Garde Metal, Noise Rock, Mathcore

dissonant, technical, male vocalist, heavy, uncommon time signatures

VERY weirdo. surprised its not agm primary honestly. super oddball vocals that remind me a bit of mike patton sometimes. complex mathy writing that knows how to hold back and just let a groove shine through. will be thinking about this a bit for sure...

3

Blood Clot

Gusher (1992) [EP]

Deathgrind, Brutal Death Metal

heavy, vulgar, rhythmic, complex

You Pull the Strings That Make Us Dance (2003) [EP]

Emoviolence, Screamo

aggressive, chaotic, dissonant, manic, male vocalist

1 billionth relisten because i send this to shave and patiently await his score

still a classic and didnt realize it was bolded nice. one of my first skramz i heard, holds up surprisingly well still. really big fan of the mix and how well you can hear the drums - a lot of subconscious influence in me and some fun writing there. force fed is still my fav but all of them are really good; very consisten ep

3.5

Periphericdisseminationofsyste micpigmestousurticaria

Twisted Large Intestine (2025) [EP]

Gorenoise

Ambient Noise Wall

not the best ever but its kind of super inspiring, compositionally/conceptually very similar to what ive been trying to achieve with the two hyb0405 releases; a sound i want to keep exploring even further. sorry for the lame artist self-explanation dont mean to be on some rym user nonsense but its whats relevant to this release for me. i will continue their discography

3

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza (2005)

Mathcore

Deathcore

uncommon time signatures, technical, angry, humorous, raw

really stupid, super mindless, undeniably badass. perfect level of ping - its actually kind of interesting the drums sound mixed like bdm/gore. very grid-like rhythmic stuff thats super fun. easy listening. cliff burton surprise intro will always be in my heart

3.5

C/.

Saaryan (2025) [EP]

Harsh Noise

Drone

thanks sneed

perfect first trsck. gorgeous crumbling and yearning drone. 5 stars

second is quite different - screeching synth abuse and dragging and scraping. reminds me of my own noise a bit. still good

3.5

The Mad Gear and Missile Kid

The Mad Gear and Missile Kid (2010) [EP]

Punk Rock, Pop Punk

Garage Punk

concept album, male vocalist, energetic, rebellious, apocalyptic

getting my tires filled. #psi

idk was randomly thinking about this. i think i forgot about the lore that its supposed to be the soundtrack for the characters in danger days - conceptually kind of cool. still mostly does nothing for me though, but the second track has a catchy chorus and a pretty slick guitar solo i like. i clearly wouldnt survive too long in their world

2.5

Nero's Day at Disneyland

From Rotting Fantasylands (2009)

Glitch, Breakcore, Electro-Industrial

Happy Hardcore, Circus March, Flashcore, Dark Cabaret, Drill and Bass, Synth Punk, IDM

manic, surreal, chaotic, noisy, mechanical

someone posted this today in the ntx server and i decided to also relisten because i honestly remembered nothing about this other than it being... odd.

definitely still is. she's got a super weird sense of humor i guess or shes just fucking weird as fuck. all the circus stuff - and just the melodies and progressions are so obtuse. i feel like if it was way more longform progressive type it would be way cooler, these short tracks just feel like awkward technical flexes and nothing totally fleshed out. that said its still impressive programming and some really cool production stuff in here. probably 5-10 more relistens in my future and eventually will be a 4

3

Discordance Axis

Jouhou (1997)

Grindcore

Mathcore

chaotic, aggressive, science fiction, cryptic, misanthropic

listened the other day but forgot to make an entry.

its all good grindcore but it lacks the excitement of inalienable, which kind of makes sense. i think at this point in their career it was still chang in charge of all the writing. not to say it doesnt have its moments but it just feels like a totally average experience.

3

Surrender

Casualty of War (2025) [EP]

Slam Death Metal

zero melodics fully self indulgent slamchugdiddyparty. would have been an completely forgettable inoffensive 3 until that fucking rap feature.

2.5

Sacrifice

Soldiers of Misfortune (1990)

Thrash Metal

Technical Thrash Metal

energetic, male vocalist, raw, manic, apocalyptic

thrash metal like this makes me think of my dad. even though he only ever really listened to metallica and megadeth. if i could go back in time i would make him a thrash patrician.

nice guitar. good mix. perfect vocals for this stuff. last track is exciting. good cover (not the streaming one)

3

My Chemical Romance

Life on the Murder Scene (2006)

Post-Hardcore, Emo-Pop, Pop Punk

Mall Screamo

male vocalist, anxious, melodic, misanthropic, melancholic

really weird compilation of live stuff. material from three cheers is split across two different live shows and theres a random bullets track here? its all pretty good nothing wrong with the qualities just such a strange track listing. really like the versions of cemetery, helena, not okay, and ghost of you, though of course nothin tops the studio versions. hes kind of a silly guy. never realized how good desert song is. and bury me in black has some awesome lyrics

3.5

Thy Art Is Murder

Infinite Death (2008) [EP]

Deathcore

Technical Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal

hateful, male vocalist, aggressive, heavy, misanthropic

nice bad ass and good breakdowns. not fan of production. weird that a majority of my moots tjat rated it gave 3.5+

kinda misogynistic

3

Voivod

Dimension Hatröss (1988)

Progressive Metal, Technical Thrash Metal, Avant-Garde Metal

Post-Hardcore

science fiction, uncommon time signatures, dissonant, complex, futuristic

contender for the... worst? vocals in all of metal?

nah but the raspier stuff is chill i just think his clean "crooning" is so ugly and grating. otherwise its just some weirdo thrash stuff. idk it doesnt do much for me but its not terrible. a few riffs got stuck in my head

2.5

Dismember

Indecent & Obscene (1993)

Death Metal

death, violence, aggressive, dark, heavy

nice good classic desumetaru. its not very technical or speedy but the writing is strong enough that that doesnt matter. forgot which but there was some song where they had this clean-ish bridge and then they cut it off halfway through like fuck that gay ass rock shit this is metal bitch

3

Sisto Rossi

Three Mile Island (2022)

Harsh Noise

Field Recordings, Reductionism

aggressive, instrumental, noisy, sparse, dark

another since its short

the noise parts are still kino as fuck but i think the ambient kinda takes away from it. still nice tho

3.5

Ritual Chair

Pain and Decay (2017) [EP]

Power Electronics

we continue to noise relisten

still very solid. really heavy and scraping painful, but i think it isnt powerful as it first was. idk maybe it needs one more relisten....

3.5

Antichrist Demoncore

Antichrist Demoncore (2014)

Powerviolence, Grindcore

anti-religious, heavy, aggressive, energetic, chaotic

last new listen for today. pretty energetic and exciting. i like when they do some dbeat. very dark blackish sound. evile!

3

Final Resting Place

Bound by Affliction (2025) [EP]

Slam Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal

Beatdown Hardcore

raw, heavy, aggressive, male vocalist, dark

lol im sorry why the fuck are we blowing these guys up? compositionally totally average slam metal. i guess its hardcore leaning but its not like that makes much of a difference. you would think after the plentiful positive reception theyve had their mixing would sound better but this is still demo quality if that.

not really a fan of the revival of 90s slam as an aesthetic but its definitely more visuallg appealing and interesting than most hifi grotesque artwork you see these days

2.5

Sweet Home

The Plague of the Zombies (2024) [EP]

chaotic, apocalyptic, infernal, manic, death

omg fuck these fucking cats bro if i could make it so they never poop again and it doesnt hurt them i would

i wanted to like this because i fw the epic death megal energy but theyre too silly and they just kinda fuck around for 36 minutes. last track is interesting noise i guess

2.5

Primitive Warfare

Extinction Protocol (2024)

War Metal

Deathgrind

war, infernal, manic, misanthropic, chaotic

opens promisingly but very quickly loses steam and becomes normal mediocre war meal

2.5

Enforced

War Remains (2023)

Crossover Thrash, Thrash Metal

heavy, war, aggressive, energetic, male vocalist

today is metal and chores. i love metal! 🎸 but this is really boring. its got lots of sound riffing and some arguably fun moments but i cant stand the slower chugging sections and these vapid middle school lyrics about "war" and "death".

2.5

Algernon Cadwallader

Some Kind of Cadwallader (2008)

Midwest Emo, Math Pop

Math Rock, Post-Rock, Math Pop

passionate, energetic, playful, male vocalist, raw

last one for the night, kind of an impulse listen. ive been thinking a lot about a vid i saw of them live and also just ab the scene and emo music in general, made me want to relisten.

such creative and exciting songwriting. never gets boring and i dont give a fuck if twinkle is gay cuz im fuckin gay! they do this shit rather well i think. hes got a really great voice. didnt care for the last track tho

Middle Mass / French Film

Voice Like Glass / Lily (2024) [Single]

Post-Punk, Dream Pop

mm's song is the song they opened with when i played with them. its good, but its not exactly why im interested in them...

ff side is like kind of straightforward whatever dream something but the guitars are sometimes kinda dark which is cool

Alexander von Schlippenbach

Piano Solo (1977)

Free Improvisation

Vocal Jazz, Free Jazz

improvisation, rhythmic, acoustic, avant-garde, passionate

of course its schlippenbach sunday

really clear and pristine recording, such easy listening its rly nice. i think its cool how good and calming the slower sections are; hes a very talented player. not huge on when he randomly finds like ragtime grooves but they dont last for long

3.5

Flagellator

Channeling the Acheron (2003)

Black Metal, Thrash Metal

nice, good find rust. always fun when blsck meats thrash and no exception here. some surprisingly tasteful parts and interesting composition. the last riff was stuck in my head for an hour lol. maybe i revisit later

燃える天下り帝国 [Moeru Amakudari Teikoku] (2005) [EP]

Harsh Noise, Noisecore

noisy, male vocalist, lo-fi, chaotic

maybe if he didnt sound stupid as fuck this would be dope. the noise and drums are actually pretty decent he just kills the vibe with his voice. shouldve been buried in the mix

Mall Screamo

Emo-Pop

Christian, androgynous vocals, male vocalist, melancholic, aggressive

show was good.

Deerspine opened. i missed the first half of their set because i was leaving from work AGAIN but the last half sounded good. very post hardcore moving screamo stuff i think. some slutchdge. they are frens

our set was fun i thought. it was the same as last time but thats okay cuz its a pretty dope 17 min nonstop kind of deal. didnt have any drum malfunctions this time.

Middle Mass was the touring headliner. feel like ive heard of them before but i dont remember. really amazing stuff though, first song sounded like just some really normal maybe dreamy post punk and kim gordon vocalist but they fucking switch that shit so quick. literally one of the most amazing drummers ive ever played with, very talented lots of technique and a ton of stanking flare. singer has really powerful voice and great screams, even though the guitarist was clearly on some shoegays (whammy strumming 💔 (and also lots of twinkly delay)) i fuckin liked what i was hearing. makes me wish that our band could write emotional shit but i dont know if thats our journey right now. bassist was lowkey doing hella but i fw the energy anyway, everyone was just having fun on stage.

alwaysneverstays played last but i was regrettably evil and left early, so to make up for it we listen and rate them music later tomorrow

i ALSO fucking heard the most gorgeous song ever coming from the other stage at the venue and it was THESE GUYS! I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY WERE FROM TEXAS! awesome stuff! i wanted to tune into that other bill of metalcore emo bands but that room its in is too small and i feel weird being like 80 years older than everyone else there. shrug

relisten duh its fun love the clean vocals still. feel like they have something great in them thats clawing at the surface trying to break through but it just cant yet

WCN: Vomir

last thing from the day i listened to is this codpast. fucking really hate the wcn guy hes a terrible interviewer but its okay because vomir just talks and talks and talks; he gets a bit off topic but i dont mind, everything he says is insightful and its nice to just hear him talk, getting an understanding of how his mind works and such. i was already in love with his music and philosophy but the way he views wall music and especially his own work is so fucking inspiring. some serious There Is A Ghost In The Room shit: we are made of electricity. its so interesting learning how much vomir takes from dada and early avant garde but it makes a lot of sense. i think philosophically hes closer to cage than merzbow.

got me thinking a lot about wall music and what really matters in the scene. where it starts and ends. i will do some writing maybe.

thanks vomir

this is so fucking weird. opens with this really unorthodox guitar noise track and then its mostly what i was expecting from them with some super avant noisecore splicing but then theres like these Mars-esque improv tracks and it finally closes out on some more splicecore stuff. not entirely sure how i feel. will repeat listen. very cool though.

completely forgot to do an entry for this yesterday or whenever

did a double date with gfs friends it was fun we played Swoop with THE EXORCIST themed cards and it was fun and we ate pizza then did a midnight wendy's run and then chilled to this. was fun. swoop is awesome as fuck.

i dont have the snl context for this but im sure the skits were probably more exciting. not a whole lot lands and some of the humor feels so fucking weird and out of place. its also weird how mkg's comedy acting is... will ferrells? there are a few parts i thought were funny or oddly struck an emotional nerve in me. the 'principal' was pretty funny looking. i think the end is a blow out reference.

Curtains (2004)

Harsh Noise

noisy, raw, mechanical, aggressive, instrumental

played a show with some bands and i sold one (1) tape!

i missed most of Darling Farm since i was coming from work, but the small bit i did hear was nice. very laid back stuff; since i last saw them it seems they've ditched the keyboard and are more of a standard rock lineup.

we had a good set but some drum malfunctions haunt me

Grocer was really fun. very weird case of something i would honestly never listen to but would urge everyone go see live everytime they get the chance. so much creativity and amiable vibes; its like just watching three friends hang out with each other. drummer has some ridiculous parts, everyone does really; its all super super fun and im glad we got to play with them again!

Brain Sweat was dope; their drummer upgraded his set and it sounds awesome as fuck. hella cymbals it looks like a bdm kit and hes using double bass now too its fire. i didnt stay to see the whole thing but it seemed to be the usual brain sweating madness

relistened on the way home. was in the harsh mood. its such an easy pick for a quick blast, such a massive 20 minutes. although part of me is a bit let down coming back - it still rips but i feel like there could be... more? idk will continue to revisit and revise though i do want to peep their others also to see if maybe one of those is better😬

Regressed Progress (2013)

Harsh Noise

huh encephalophonic junk noise. its fine. also weirdly this album shares samples with Vision, but with more clarity and more conscientiousness.

3

Vektor

Outer Isolation (2011)

Technical Thrash Metal

Progressive Metal, Black Metal

science fiction, complex, technical, energetic, male vocalist

i drank this nuka cola my stepdad got and it was so fucking sour. like straight up citric acid. its lowkey hella good. dinner was yummy. then we got a free car wash which was fun.

last relisten of the day. its still a solid project but idk if i want to leave it at 3.5, it just isnt hella my thing anymore. that said i still love the songs ive always loved, Cosmic Cortex is bad ass, Tetrastructural Minds and Fast Paced Society too. nothing else sticks out to me really. good playing though

3

Nuclear Death

Bride of Insect (1990)

Deathgrind

raw, aggressive, lo-fi, noisy, chaotic

another relisten otw to moms.

still so crazy. always forget about it but i like reminding myself. gen some of the most insane totally nonsense drumming and guitaring in metal. theres hardly ever room just to find a groove, it feels completely manic like everyone is fighting not to fall over but also super fucking tight. Lori's vocals are so fucing dope and its always awesome when she does her like opera clean riffs. one of the tracks has a free death intro

4

Orchid

Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow! (2000)

Emoviolence

chaotic, philosophical, passionate, aggressive, raw

relistened yesterday. went to moms for mexican food dinner.

still really good, though idk if its my fav of theirs. will relisten to st and chaos again to see.

biggest issue is outro song i just think that a personal pet peeve is last songs on shortsong albums being long and slow (i know it isnt all like that but). it would be cool if it was the intro track. it just kills the energy i think idk. i am nietzche is the best shit ever

4

Melancholy

contrived and worthless.

Fosse almost cucks you into believing his writing style has merit by drilling it into your head for so long that simple sentences start standing out as eloquent scripture just because they are not what has already been repeated 10x over before and after.

Says nothing and lacks cohesion or anything textually deep. reads like someones first attempt at seriously writing in a comp 2 course; i just hope he eventually did something worthwhile with his fucking LIFE TIME STIPEND from the norwegian fucking government. maybe i should go be a writer in norway...

2

Hateful Transgression / Jesus Wept / Martyrs of Necromancy

Hateful Transgression x Jesus Wept x Martyrs of Necromancy (2016)

Slam Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal

Black Metal, Deathcore

blackened slam... it sucks! proof thst black metal makes everything boring!

not really though i can see the "blackened" idea but this is really just deathcore lite or like """slam""" with melodics and "atmosphere". no side really stuck out

3

wormchunk lets fucking go. says its just polwach which is awesome. fucking crazy. one big long fucking track. glorious drumming and perfect fuzz noise. alien glurping squeak noise. im praying they drop a comp this year of all their split material will easily be aoty

Prurient (2007)

Harsh Noise

Power Electronics

scary, apocalyptic, infernal, anxious, raw

we continue the noise relistening of things.

im gonna just say its my favorite prurient. actually pretty easily its my favorite prurient. painful tissue peeling feedback bone-deep knife wounding and generations of sexual pain and abusive isolating neglected beatings. it just doesnt get worse than this

4 for now...

MaJackO - Stereo Demoness

yes you are reading that correctly i FINALLY beat this one! only took about 8 fucking years!!!

but nah i definitely could have grinded a bit harder back then and cranked this out, in terms of insane demons (not that ive really beaten a lot but you know) its definitely on the easier side of the spectrum; its key choke points/hard clicks are actually pretty spaced out and its quite leisurely in its pacing. only requires a handful of specific strats or memorizations to nail.

the first cube section is definitely the hardest or second hardest part, or, at least its where i died the most. the second orb click is (im pretty sure) a 60fps frame perfect, so literally like 30% of my deaths are just there. and then you have the really tricky orbs right after which are super easy to mess up, followed by the mirror spam hall which can feel kinda rng at times and be tough to nail consistantly (but honestly its so satisfying getting through it). i also choked way too much in the pre drop right before and during the ball section.

even though the first ship looks hard its just finding a good rhythm; its super fun to play i think. the cube after is straightforward.

i had to use my mouse and kb for the ufo. the nerfed hands arent hard to avoid but i found it takes a considerable cps to avoid the blue pads afterwards.

then theres some loose straightflying and then the other big chokepoint for me. people are saying that one purple orb at 70% is a frame perfect and it definitely feels like it but idkfs. just died a lot there cuz of that. the rest of the cube after is pretty easy to get consistent.

then the final ship section. i got super lucky and only died here a handful of times but man is it so nerve wracking; super easy to mess up and requires a ton of focus. i spent probably 500+ attempts in practice mode just in this section.

anyway though really love this level. its quirky and surprisingly interestingly designed. love all of majacko's little artworks and he has a very unique way of designing gameplay; i think he demands a lot from the player but he leaves enough wiggle room that you can approach it in many different ways. it ends up being super fun learning any of his levels because theyre really engaging like that

Stereo Demoness - MaJackO (Insane Demon)

Human Mastication / Flesh Disgorged

The Gallery of Guttural Perversion (2006)

Brutal Death Metal, Slam Death Metal

HM plays very sluggish and sloppy tempo changes, FD is tighter, more technical and honestly better but i dont like the samples.

but the fucking highlight are those live tracks. actual kvlt transcendent metal. excellent find tina. also FD first track intro is true slambient

RH-12 (2012)

Atmospheric Black Metal

DSBM

mysterious, dense, atmospheric, male vocalist, lo-fi

kind of what you might expect. the midtempo 4/4 dsbm drums are so boring to me but the guitars are kind of insane. on some low low key wall metal type

3

Encephalophonic

X (2015)

Harsh Noise

more ed noise

lacks the brevity that made chronicity so good but its basically just a longer version. always pleasantly surprising how bubbling this projects stuff is

3

Grunt / Prurient

Grunt / Prurient (2006)

Sadus

Swallowed in Black (1990)

Technical Thrash Metal, Thrash Metal

Death Metal

aggressive, dark, technical, energetic, male vocalist

yep we're in a thrash mood because WE ARE PLAYING A NOISE SHOW AND opening for TERROR CELL UNIT!

Head Wound Sadism was first on the bill and I FUCKING MISSED HIS SET BECAUSE I WAS LEAVING FROM WORK but i heard it was good! hes awesome too lovely pal it was probably ripping as fuck

W.R.M. played next and while i went to go get earplugs he played his entire set! when i got back we convinced him to do an encore which he did for 5 seconds then he left

Puppy Mill semi-local noisexpowerviolence plays next and they are exactly what that descriptor sounds like short pv songs with blaring shakebox feedback noise between them. i really like their energy and vision but if i had to give any constructive criticism i would say they should work on transitions between songs (GET THAT NOISE UP AND RUNNING ASAP NO DEAD AIR) and their drummer needs to look a little more enthusiastic for the music they are playign :D

THEN WE PLAYED (DEALEY PLAZA) and it was me, Snailmouth, Daniel Ryan, Princess Haultaine III, Big Hole, Nathan Golub and our friend NoiseAngel. we sounded really good this timebecause nathan is an expert mixer and he was letting everyone get some breathing room and "solo" time which was nice. water daniel crashed out halfway through and was throwing these fences around and he cut my arm and leg with it which is awesome /gen and then kavan snailmouth got drool and slobber everywhere on his gear from swallowing the contact mic. i didnt see much of Angel but i think she was running into the audience a lot. cool

after us was PRESSER and SIN PAVILLION and TERROR CELL UNIT! NONE OF WHICH I STAYED TO SEE!!!! BECAUSE I WAS SO TIRED!!!!

so i was in a good thrash mood and i rly liked their demo so yep. really cool tech stuff though i really liked the drumming and theyve got a good mix of rhythmic straight forward riffs and also mind bending stuff. his vocals kind of hold it back for me and im not huge on the production.

a lot of these ive already heard from their other boots or actual releases but i still wanted to peep this one to see how this particular collection sounded and i love the cover :L but yeah its a salem comp of some really good tracks, its more trimmed down than owleyes which is nice though it doesnt have oftentimes!

dirt is the best song ever tho honestly.

3.5

Grunt

Seer of Decay (2006)

Power Electronics, Noise

Harsh Noise, Death Industrial

violence, political, vulgar, serious, atmospheric

first disc alternates ebtween like slow meditative (in the pe sense) death industrial scraping samples stuff and ripping violent outbursts. its good but it doesnt do tooo much for me.

the second disc caught me by surprise as its entirely junk/clatter noise (with shades of noisecore (i think i heard drums??)) and nothing else. also good and cool but again it doesnt do a lot for me. though i do see why people may regard it as some kind of monumental work in mikkos discog

Harsh Noise Wall

grizzlor

very deep bass tones like intense wind and higher quick static. its fine

the rita

classic massive rita sound. very fucking loud. very violent

gasmask

like harsh and i can hear a phasing i think then in the latter half it does this shrieking loop or something idk its not the best i think

paranoid time

i had the chance to actually see this guy at FLAWfest last year but i was too hungry so i only heard his set from outside the building. this wall is interesting though, not the best texture but its got this unique whistling wind kind of thing happening throughout. slow evolution towards the end. cool

vomir

early vomir is always a mixed bag! definitely concur with velocifish's observation that this might actually be a distorted recording of a motor. theres a pretty gross squeaking throughout the whole thing that caps the possible enjoyment at a 3

last rape

usual ramirez style adding subtracting elements and stuff. lots of harsh cracklings like sub stuff

Nurse Unit

Detox (2009) [Compilation]

Harsh Noise Wall

only child

dont care for EITHER very borijg sounds and gay delay

if i hide

better but still just bleh.

criminal etiquette

such thin grating sounds. second sounds like necrotik in the beginning but in a bad way

hush now

first one is fine like light screeching kind of. sounds like what hnw is defaulted as. second one is waow MAJOR necrotik vibes especially with that jaggedy loop. its fine though honestly

3

Taint

Justmeat (1995)

Power Electronics

pulsing and swirling. decent slabs of pe but every track kind of feels the same; a more modern production approach would really help!

The Amazing KYARY ERO GURO and THE EROGE FANATIC BAND

Candy Candy (2015)

Harsh Noise, Extratone

Splittercore, Nightcore

noisy, manic, sampling, repetitive, surreal

the usual kyary ero guro method of interfering noise jpop tribute but this time elevated with the help of some tasteful and exciting kicks! the first track is as you may expect, it definitely does lose some momentum and doesnt really need to be 30 minutes (arguably it may not even need to exist at all), but the second track is where things start making sense. brilliant outro on that as well. could have done without the hidden track stuff but its bonus anyway so

3.5

Lolicore, Speedcore

all done with cds and now im at work.

i should have really been tapped into this label back in the day (i regret not buying one of each of their releases) but i only ever listened to orokana bichi's album. not that this is all that good its just like low stakes speedcore lolicore sketches but id just like to have them :p

they emailed me a long time ago asking to do a cass of one of my albums but it never went through in time and they dissolved into history

きゃり エロ グロ [Kyary Ero Guro]

にんじゃりばんばん (2016)

Pagan Black Metal, Black Metal

war, rhythmic, nationalism, male vocalist

spending all morning making cds for a show coming up and playing geometry dash. finslly done with all the map packs! got a crazy fluke from like 30% on hexagon force v2

pretty straightforward atmoblack. i like when bm bands use eclectic or nonstandard instrumentation effectively, and they pass the mark here for sure.

Car Bomb

Blindsides (2025) [Single]

Djent, Mathcore

Avant-Garde Metal, Progressive Metal, Deathcore

polyrhythmic, angular, progressive, heavy, complex

really? a second single for a three track ep? they must have some ridiculously bureaucratic contract theyve signed with their label or something.

anyway though its good ig not as chaotic as car bomb can sometimes be which kind of helps parts stick out. good guitar tone

3

Unusual Affairs

Even Dying Is an Act of Eroticism (2020)

Harsh Noise Wall

good morning its wall.

despite the stacked cast here i felt gery ambivalent about it. one the one hand it builds good atmospheres snd i love the deep analogue rumbles but on the other some motherfcuker is in letting loose on these rattly higher frequency zigzags that just dont sit well with me. bleh

2.5

Corrupted

Llenandose de gusanos (1999)

Drone Metal, Dark Ambient

Funeral Doom Metal, Ambient

ominous, atmospheric, heavy, winter, lethargic

melistened other day and then the rest yesterday and some today

first track alone would be 3.5 or probably 4, some of the best drone metal/funeral ideas, leans very hard into distortion and "heaviness", such cool feedbacking in the background and i love the pianos and the way they play with vocals. the intro could be shorter or louder but i still like it its very melancholic.

second track i am actually liking more this time. very longing and languid. like giving up. or just walking with your head down forever

3.5

Forest

Заревом над прахом [Like a Blaze Above the Ashes] (2000)

Black Metal, Atmospheric Black Metal

Dark Folk

minimalistic, lo-fi, forest, nature, cold

in a strange bm mood today i guess. very straight forqard, i guess the dark folk comes from the plucked guitar interlude-y sections? nothing standout but its got some intensity and drive that keeps it from being boring

Hardcore Punk

noisy, aggressive, manic, raw, male vocalist

cucked by false noisecore tag again. straightforward faster jhxc. meh

2.5

Grunt / Taint

Schoolyard Bruises (2003)

Power Electronics

cover title and inserts lead me to believe it is themed around well that but its just imagery the music itself felt like it had nothing to do with it and if it did the lyrics are obscured enough that the songs can be completely detached from it. another misogyny sample in here too that was a bit hard to stomach but has some distortion on it so its not as impactful. both sides good normal harsher pe but grunts side is panned very weird idk

3

North Central

Dark and Abusive (2024)

Power Electronics

was going to listen to this instead of canada 666 yesterday but my girlfriends niece was over and this felt like it would be too evil for that

and yep i was right its very evil i kind of expected the fa samples but i hate them im going to be honest i turned volume down then on the last track i skipped it cant do it sorry not sorry idc. i thought this would be anorexia themed but its just misogyny submission dominance abuse (ok thats in the title i guess)

noise is good though very layered industrial sounding harshes. his voice is weak but is mixed well enough that it doesnt detract from the music.

3

Kind Girl + Cutie Geisha

Daisy Chains (2016) [Single]

Harsh Noise, Plunderphonics

harsh noising weaves in and out of some kind of lucky star sample i think. the noise is nice but the sample makes this a bit too weab for me to enjoy sorry

Gorenoise, Noisegrind

dense, macabre, noisy, homicide, aggressive

yes YES finally on bandcamp

very aptly described in the first sentence of description both super raw, crazy technical and still retains the hypergore awesomeness theyve locked in on. some of isaacs best drumming. the last track is fucking craxy with the record skips and final few seconds. taped sulfuric cautery before gta6 🥹

Various Artists

HNW: Alone (2010) [Compilation]

Harsh Noise Wall

YES FINALLY grail tapes pop up on slsk and i download and listen to the Jar. listened over past week. very consistent comp and lots of exciting highlights

damsel in distress

both sides are very dark crunching and slow moving. lovely.

ghoul

harsh so muted it borders on anw. sublimely languid. second side is more rumbling

grizzlor

classic analogue pedal grizzlor sound. first side > second side

i am a slut

really nice slight phasing walls, a bit of a rough edge. very good. slight movements. longing

midnight heat

ramirez titles but none of his 'dynamics'. still very good.

shining sex

more sexual this is crazy though its like very clearly power electronics or at least like the ethos with ultra subdued vocals and maybe samples? and totally washed out noise that is actually quite violent and dynamic but its production gives it a very overwhelming "wall" sound, in a way like much BLJ wall stuff. highlight

sjalvhat

KT alias so first side makes a lot of sense its very crackling and a bit sparse. rip i have says side 2 is copy of side 1 but it sounds way different! its maybe the same wall but its got another layer of distortion on it; its very crushed sounding. lovely

skinflint

probably least favorite tape side 1 iz just kinda thin and a bit boring in the first half but has a nice movement later. side 2 has a gross sample in the beginning i dont like and then its just like a normal wall.

svartvit

quite nice dragging sound, side 2 introduces very pleasing deeper lower frequency sound that i like

vomir

perfect way to end this comp and these are some of his best walls i think theres a weird very very slight warbling i think i can hear and i swear i can feel some kind of rhythm im going crazy probavly i love wall noise forever

Lolicore, Harsh Noise

listening

though im like 80% sure ive heard before in highschool. cover is too burned into my brain not to.

haizai side is haizai side. good, but some of his weaker material i think.

satoshin side is also satoshin side. again some of his weaker stuff. more straightforward style than haizai. the second half of both sides are good

Persistence in Mourning / Koufar (2009)

Funeral Doom Metal

i feel like persistence in mourning is only notable (at least in my head) as the funeral doom project that collabs with noise artists. both this track and the one from their vomir split leave me totally straight-face bored out of my mind. ill still check out the DBC collab though. Koufar offers some powerful deep PE, very good

Vengeance Is Mine (1984)

manic and obsessive. desperate men wearing horse blinders will do whatever it takes as long as it means the job gets done (or whatever their definition of that actually is). handful of gorgeous shots/sequences. way too slow though, it kind of hobbles around for a good chunk of the middle/end and you kind of forget why we're even here for a bit

3

大事件 [Breaking News] (2004)

its movie night once a fucking gain so we're watching chino (chinese kino) and playing lots of papers please

lots of really cool camera work (apparently what Mr To is known for) and honestly entertaining sequences make this fly by super quick. think its a bit weaker than id like substance wise but the ending is peam

Noise Rock, Noisecore

Drone Metal, Free Improvisation, Sludge Metal, Pigfuck

repetitive, surreal, chaotic, noisy, lo-fi

nice. i like the idea of the tape messing with the recording, they should definitely lean more into that. i also think a studio recording of the longer tracks would sound way dopoer and they need more pedals or somtehing. positive direction for the band i think. more noise.

Power Electronics, Post-Industrial

Sound Collage, Power Noise, Spoken Word, Interview

sexual, female vocalist, surreal, sampling, dark

i have too many thoughts i cant organize well. last track is great. so is second to last. harsh violent bits are good. no more beats and spoken word please. and i personally think if you are going to make music about graphic and real CSA you should not reference "hide yo kids hide yo wife"

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

gf was in a weird scifi movie mood so we picked this.

dug everyone in this and felt the stoner bits played off super smoothly; lots of good chemistry here and some fun writing too. problem is that this wants to take itself very seriously at times but doesnt know how to balance both sides so its just like lots of really jarring tonal shifts. i like the ending.

2.5

Pro-Life

literally watched this in june and just never made an entry for it lol.

just very dumb and messy. kinda feels like just starting a movie about a third of the way in. not sure if thats negative or positive. i honestly have no idea what carpenter was trying to say or do with this

first side is so fun lol. i kinda like it its not the best but theres a really sweet ethos to it that wins me over; no setup noise just grab an amp and a cable and start playing around with sounds

call me fucking crazy and then stab me with a boxcutter i actually fw it 🤷‍♀️ i think from what ive heard mylan has terrible presence on his usually good beats but i feel like hes buried just enough in here (and also, lowkey carries his own weight enough) that im totally fine with him. lots of fun awesome beats too. the last one lowkey felt emotional to me

Ambient Noise Wall

Noise

it does sadden my heart to give this a closer to average score; i sympathize with how SP feels towards his music, and im elated to read that he is returning with renewed vigor and inspiration, but this merely checks the boxes and is hardly noteworthy. the idea of progressive wall is nice, perhaps novel, but his execution definitely has potential; it kind of feels like a bit of a slow-reeling collage of sorts. i hope to see some further developments from him in the coming years.

Ambient Noise Wall, Turntable Music

Reductionism

depressive, soothing, atmospheric, repetitive, rain

if anyone in the world understands what precisely composes good wall noise, has it pinned down to a science and mastered it totally as an art, it is angel brügger. perfecf match, you cant be disappointed in it

Bubblegum Bass, Electropop, Hyperpop

Scouse House, Euro Trance, Teen Pop

humorous, sexual, mechanical, hedonism, quirky

boy next door and cool are honestly ass, but superglue and sea at night are good enough for me. fairly straight forward

3

People From Bloomington

interesting. people living lives as eternally locked observers projecting onto one another and denying themselves the compassion and intimacy they ridicule their neighbors for, yet just as similarly desire.

we are sectioned off into our own grids of neighborhoods, buildings and telephone lines, by our own choosing, whether we like it, know it, or not.

darma's writing is quite straightforward in my opinion. he, at times, seems to be trying to weave something grander together, using not-so-subtle repetition or alienating narratives, but i find that it feels both hollow and insincere. he does write some good comedy, though.

3

Carnivore Diprosopus

Madhouse's Macabre Acts (2006)

Brutal Death Metal, Slam Death Metal

goreshit / Niku Daruma (2019) [EP]

Breakcore, Harsh Noise

Power Noise, Power Electronics, Black Ambient, Industrial Hardcore

rhythmic, infernal, instrumental, chaotic, noisy

niku side is killing ripper abusetronics as expected. they are very good in short doses. cuts you

honestly not sure at all what is going on with goreshits side. feels like a complete mess of ideas trying to mask as something it isnt. weirdly enough i think a lolicore gabber song would have worked better here.

3

Decaying Form

Chronicles of Decimation (2006)

Brutal Death Metal

Technical Death Metal

uncommon time signatures, raw, complex, technical, death

very interesting. lots of technical flares, and the production is quite peculiar; it feels very unpopulated - you can always tell exactly what is happening at any given moment, which in turn helps emphasize the aforementioned technicality of this. good drumming and some maybe unique vocals. ill keep an eye on these guys...

3

Intense Hammer Rage

Avagoyamugs (2001)

Goregrind

Slam Death Metal

heavy, vulgar, sampling, disturbing, aggressive

unserious and technically impressive gore brutality. too long for its own good, but never necessarily a dull moment. reminds me a bit of copremesis, or maybe im just off my rocker again

3

Masonna

Like a Vagina (1988)

Harsh Noise

aggressive, dissonant, noisy, lo-fi, raw

3

Luminosity

Nebulae (2024)

Brutal Death Metal, Avant-Garde Metal, Dissonant Death Metal

heavy, surreal, science fiction, space, avant-garde

FOR NOTHING (2025)

Trap

Cloud Rap, Rage, Pop Rap

repetitive, melodic, drugs, sampling, sexual

for the most part its just decent. i like that zatru is prod here but it feels like hes really holding himself back, though he occasionally comes through with something interesting. first time hearing 9v and its not a bad first impression. i fw his adlibs and when he is just screaming.

poem, suspenseful, female vocalist, avant-garde, dissonant

so cool. intimate and sharp at the same time. i didnt bother reading bf translations along with the tracks, as one user eloquently puts, i treated the poems as "tonal pieces where the instrument is the human voice". yan jun goes crazy soft on these; really weird mind bending stuff. i kinda wish i listened sooner so i could have gotten the book

i honestly do not like the second track, and in general its quite amateurish cheap sounding, but there is an amibition and sincerity here that i appreciate.

Various Artists

Ten Years, Fuck Off (2024)

very shockingly tolerable. also rather consistently good. occasionally high rewarding, but most tracks simply come and go. the Same Same sample on track 11 was a welcome surprise.

Noise

Plunderphonics, Glitch, Eccojams

ominous, noisy

can i be honest with yall i lowkey love this and i know like we're all rolling our eyes at the bruno mars sample but this is lowkey dope longform music and they pull a surprisingly rich amount of noise out of the concept. was listening this morning just kept my eyes closed and drifted in and out listening its quite effective. it is cheap and it is def some bandcamp noise though so im not gonna rate so high

a handful of some of my favorite pe tracks interspersed with some interview clips that are both too long and too quiet! not that i necessarily want to hear them... but it makes for a very unengaging listen if i cant hear them at all. i dont think thats really fair though, ill come back to it later and see.

Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal

SIMG Factorial 5

took about 10 years but we finally got there.

always a big fan of SIMG's level design and the factorial series' mythos and aesthetic is pure and special to me still. this one feels a lot less locked in and more amateur than 4, though, probably because of the very ugly strobing ship section, and also the weirdly spam-looking ball sections. those ball sections are also super loose with the timing and feel especially janky; there are several points where i choked just about every other attempt. i also choked a lot on the ufo section but that really is just user error. unfortunately took so many attempts because all these chokes and i still hadnt tackled the brutal memory bit at the end. died so many times at 70-85% but luckily clutched that last 15 the first time i made it past that evil ass triple spike. annoying as fuck, but im still a simg truer

SIMG Factorial 5 - LunarSIMG (Medium/Hard Demon)

Caspa

Terminator (Trolley Snatcha Remix) / Marmite (Doctor P Remix) (2010) [Single]

Dubstep, Tearout

last one today before bedtime.

i used to listen to the marmite remix a lot as a kid - i think i saw it in some mudkip meme; i actually ended up buying it on itunes lol. it holds up tbh, its got a great drop and nice deep bass, cool effects and some tasteful percussion.

terminator is pretty boring though. could def use a better mix, feels like theres very little bass compared to marmite, and its just not all that exciting or interesting.

So I heard you like Mudkips? Dubkips? (FULL VERSION)

Wince

Mushed Down Retardation (2011)

雑音体操 (2007)

Power Electronics, Harsh Noise

sampling, humorous, manic, noisy

this morning is quiet but warm, and involves going to the store and buying produce. i thought this was something but it isnt. its harsh noise - and some good harsh noise at that. the longer non-harsh tracks leave me unsatisfied but if you cut them out this is a really fun release.

3

Hurricane Season

i just finished reading Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor (i like opening book entries with a line like that. contrivedandembarrassing reference).

easily one of the most challenging reads ive sat through, content and medium wise (proxy at least had some dynamics to it). but that isnt a negative point of the book. while very sloggy and disorienting at first, the run-on writing style eventually becomes quite hypnotic and alluring - it also helps that her writing is just plain great. mythos, violence and sexuality carve out the world we can see. at times both wincing and empathizing.

3.5

Culver

Miss Rio (2006)

Drone, Noise

"Miss Rio" is both haunting and ethereal. Culver delivers three ominous drone tracks; the first two represent a much darker side to their sound and feel genuinely eerie, with strange dissonant pluckings in the first track that reappear manipulated in the second. the last track feels like some kind of epilogue to a horror story, it is deceptively calm...

Sludge Metal, Screamo

Avant-Garde Metal, Drone Metal, Noise

completely forgot to mention that i played a show a couple days ago with these guys. Bee Blackwell and Glüestick were also on the bill. I unfortunately missed a good amount of Gluestick's set but the bit that i caught was fun. they have a very dirty and danceable sound; not very complex but plenty of detail. Blackwell's set was a pleasant surprise - i had previewed some of her music on instagram and spotify prior to the show and was a bit confused (mostly a one person bedroom project) but she played with a full band. the sound is very 2020s trending alt rock/alt metal but they were quite tight and mixed exceptionally well. shes got a good voice for what shes singing. Tethered to doubt was also surprising. on this ep its very heavy and wall of sound loud fast-slow-fast-hyperslow sludge meats screamo but seeing them live they come off more like black metal noise rock lol. i think i prefer the recordings, but ben is such a nice guy i wouldnt mind playing with them a few more times!

3 for now

28 Years Later (2025)

saw with gf and many friends.

absolutely ridiculous editing. at times contrived and it may not always work, but i really appreciate seeing this kind of experimenting in the mainstream. its a bit gay towards the end, i just wish they didnt play the coming of age angle so hard but whatever.

MasK463 - Surrealism

been playing gd again and i figured i kinda want to talk about some of the levels i beat when i beat them if i have something to say.

was able to knock this out in an hour or so, its pretty straightforward esp for a MasK level, with just a few key parts that kept tripping me up. i really like how he plays with choice in this, a lot of interesting fake-outs or semi-auto sections, like the beginning or the ball sections. speaking of which, those ball sections really killed me, some pretty tight timing compared to the rest of the level and i kept choking on the last one. the end feels a bit rushed.

i just have one more demon from him and ill have finished all of his, ill try to do that later, first i want to beat something that isnt mask lol

yep that first track is like the most amazing stuff ever. everything else is a perfectly fine slab of cute bit sounds

3.5

Pierrot le fou (1965)

it's easily the best of his movies ive seen so far, although im still very partial to woman is a woman's more consistent upbeatedness, i think formally this is much more locked in and exciting. hes really mastered his editing, and despite the runtime hitting 2 hours it never lets up really. ill always have a soft spot for theatrical lighting stuff - the first half of this is so exciting how he plays with that kind of stuff, and i love watching his actors explore physical spaces - the "stages" - it keeps everything really fluid. the latter half loses me a bit as it slows down a bit but he saves it with that goated ah ending

3.5

The Shooting (1966)

nauseating and slow cooker hysteria. violence and dehydration. its prone to meandering but that end is something from another universe

its crazy how they still have the sauce like

3.5

On The Beach

very painfully optimistic; Shute's writing is plain but his story is effective. i dont think he's dumb, this isnt a story about realism. its neither one about mystery or spectacle. clearly not interested in the downfall of society, structure, government, laws or even work life; Shute paints an idyllic picture of the pre-apocalypse and meditates.

"That's what animals do ... they creep away into holes and die."

going in i expected it to be a bit of a slower and more depressing read but i really wasnt ready for the slowburn romance of it. i also found it curious how little time we spend on the "big cruise" that the synopsis teases; most all of this takes place in one town and at a few key locations.

its not without its faults though. this was clearly written in a time when women tended to the home and men went to work; the perfect day is a wife cooking food and yardwork at your disposal. Moira's character does offer a kind of glimpse into the future - a new generation of liberated women turning the tide and working for themselves - but she also spends half of the book drinking cute alcohol and being sassy...

i also couldnt help but feel it being a bit autobiographical. not that i know literally anything about Shute, but i have to imagine hes got passions for racing, gardening, fishing and submarining.

الجن [Aljina]

قطع رأس ثعبان شاشترا (2020) [Additional release]

Atmospheric Black Metal

scary, noisy, lo-fi, muffled, infernal

never realized that three years ago someone responded to me with a rip but thats cool that this is available now. not that i even remember what their other two tapes sounded like but i would bet money this is their best. really awesome like cooler ac quality. can hardly make out chords.

3

Atka / Shimetsu

Atka / Shimetsu (2008)

Grindcore, Mathcore

technical, aggressive, angry, male vocalist, energetic

atka's side is pretty good; love how dynamic their vocals are. their last track is goated tape. shimetsu's side i could live without.

7038634357

Waterfall Horizon (2025)

Ambient, Progressive Electronic

Drone, Ambient Pop

melancholic, lethargic, ethereal, melodic, atmospheric

sounds really pretty and quite full; his voice works exceptionally well on these tracks and i dont mind their minimalism. it kind of flies by without leaving much to remember but its not bad. its interesting that these were built out of live performances. seems like a backwards way to write things but thats cool

Goregrind

Cybergrind

heavy, vulgar, novelty, aggressive, chaotic

the dumbass fuckcomments tells me it is "bery clicky". i may have to agree with his dumb ass.

Rage, Experimental Hip Hop

Digicore, Cloud Rap, Electronic Dance Music, Pop Rap, Industrial Hip Hop

nonbinary vocalist, energetic, noisy, dense, futuristic

sorry but its like.. really boring. the production is cool i guess but it kinda just feels like Teen Week + rage. she has a really weak presence vocally which doesnt help. not sure why fuckcomments was glazing this so much

2.5

Bossfight

Agony District (2022) [EP]

Brostep

sampling, aggressive, energetic, chaotic, dense

way better than i was expecting. why are we hating on their brostep arc if it sounds this dope

Chopped and Screwed, Gangsta Rap

Dirty South, G-Funk

sampling, male vocalist, crime, lethargic, psychedelic

Euro Trance, Electropop, K-Pop

Uplifting Trance, Electro House, Witch House

female vocalist

meh. nothing stuck for me. is the deep really "bloghouse"? i think i understand the sentiment but we need a different tag for anything post 2010 ""bloghouse"", though i dont know if i necessarily want an indie sleaze revival tag...

2.5

Mindly Rotten

Pathological Creation (2007) [EP]

Technical Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal

mindblowing. has to be sped up or something. 2025 we're pushing this everyone tap in

4

Satanic Army

Fuck Christ (2006) [Single]

Black Metal

anti-religious, raw, lo-fi, satanism, hateful

the rating on this is absurd lol, one review speculated that he was using a shitty amplifier; yall are just inventing stuff to hate

drums are insane on this. lowkey avant af; reminds me of early liturgy

3.5

Cuntsniffer

Boom,Boom,BOOM! (2024)

Nintendocore, Screamo, Electroclash

Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1 (2010)

Eccojams, Plunderphonics, Vaporwave

Chopped and Screwed, Glitch, Hypnagogic Pop

sampling, repetitive, hypnotic, surreal, ethereal

Technical Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal

Progressive Metal, Avant-Garde Metal

avant-garde, female vocalist, heavy, lush, uncommon time signatures

coolness. very unorthodox. a bit unfocused. didnt realize it was female vocals which is neat; she has a very subdued delivery that makes this feel even more alien.

Expression on Your Face (2025) [Single]

Electro House, Electropop, Dance-Pop

Electro Hop, Electroclash, Glitch Pop, Bubblegum Bass

French House, Plunderphonics, Nu-Disco

sampling, playful, energetic, anthemic, uplifting

was making a launchpad list on my alt and realized id never rated this.

very warm feelings. impossibly fun. not a second wasted; you have to be some kind of genius to even think this up

4

Begging for Incest

Black Lung (2025) [Single]

Slam Death Metal

Deathcore

really wordy suggestive review of this on the bandcamp. cant tell if its a one off or if its a lead single. i wouldnt be surprised if this wasnt even them lol. oh whell.

its decent stuff. nothing to write home about. passes the time

3

Framtid

Under the Ashes (2002)

D-Beat, Crust Punk

heavy, war, male vocalist, energetic

wasnt even gonna listen to this but i was coming off the tail end of a long 10 hour shift and needed something else.

its aggressive. his vocals are almost chud territory but he stays in line.

3

FKY

BigHallu (2005)

Freetekno, Hardcore [EDM]

Gabber

rhythmic, repetitive, sampling, energetic, instrumental

free party in the cooler today. i did something to my foot so the left side of it feels like its been bruised on the inside and im limping. im pretty sure i pulled something in my right leg. and my wrist is flaring up in crazy pain rn.

fun. last 2 are massive

3

GFOTY

GFOTYBUCKS (2017)

Bubblegum Bass

Electropop, Glitch Pop, Deconstructed Club, Wonky, Pop Rap, Hyperpop

manic, chaotic, quirky, surreal, party

i used to listen to this in highschool. well not really. i tried. it felt very impenetrable as a kid. i did like my song, dont wanna, and red silver blue though.

kind of amazing how shes able to hold my attention with this stuff for 40 minutes. tons of really exciting ideas and she explores all of it just enough, no time wasted and nothing lost. shes a great vocalist with a good ear for melodies and progressions. awesome experimental. i lowkey hadnt heard friday night until today lol, its good

3.5

Cursed

Two (2005)

Hardcore Punk, Metalcore

Sludge Metal, Crust Punk, Neocrust

aggressive, energetic, angry, misanthropic, raw

quite solid stuff. very aggressive. could have probably done without the stoner metal track but they kind of get into it at the end so its fine.

3

Paper Jam

This and That (2025)

Twee Pop

Cuddlecore, Jangle Pop

female vocalist, playful, lush, energetic, quirky

big day for the latinx twee scene.

occasionally some great melodies. sounds good. skyscraper stood out to me.

3

ITZY

Girls Will Be Girls (2025) [EP]

K-Pop, Dance-Pop

Electropop, House

melodic, female vocalist, energetic, rhythmic, uplifting

in typical post-Crazy in love itzy fashion the title track here is actually god awful. horrible chorus.

the rest are fine. kiss & tell is cool but leaves lots to be desired from the chorus. locked and loaded is probably the best, and promise, the ballad track, was also nice. the closer i could take or leave.

not sure how this is getting some of the praise its been getting

2.5

Car Bomb

Paroxysm (2025) [Single]

Mathcore, Djent

Deathcore, Deathgrind, Avant-Garde Metal

technical, angular, chaotic, uncommon time signatures, polyrhythmic

cool interesting rhythmic motif in this. his vocals sound a bit like mid career shugga. not sure why we need a lead single for a 3 track ep but whatever. good stuff

3

Kode9 + The Spaceape

Memories of the Future (2006)

Dubstep

Dub Poetry

nocturnal, futuristic, atmospheric, sparse, male vocalist

on the whole the beats are fine, they come and go but feel good in the moment; nothing sticks for long. spaceapes vocals are great though, weirdly he saved this for me. i love how theyre mixed and hes got a really lulling way of speaking it sounds like nothing else.

3

Ugly Man

greetings all and happy pride month. what better way to celebrate than with the coop himself.

hes got a very specific sense of humor that is sometimes genius but also quite callous and one dimensional. youngs boys have sex and then kill each other: that summarizes just over half of these stories. youngs boys get high and have sex would summarize the other half. i desperately wanted to find some kind of truth or reflection or introspection in this, i mean the subject matter begs it, but either this is pure comedy to cooper or he just cant bother being vulnerable enough. hes a talented writer, no doubt, but his lack of focus and honesty holds this back for me.

cant in good faith recommend this to anyone, if you think you might like it you might like it but if you arent sure then you'll hate it.

3

Coki

some post-bleak chilling after the gas station. been a minute since we've seen a solo artist release from drb.

decent stuff. moves yah.

A torinói ló [The Turin Horse] (2011)

its bleak week at the texas theatre this week!

its their first year ever hosting this alongside a few other locations around the country, so i expected the lineup to be kind of entry level but man is it entry level. aside from Killer of Sheep (which was a later-minute addition) this was the only showing i wanted to go to. i digress...

second time seeing this and the magic still holds up. cameraman was seriously in his bag; its so cool how he'll hold certain frames in a way that feels totally disconnected from the rest of the preceding shot; the current angle ignores the fluidity connecting it to the last, it feels like watching clouds move - equally hypnotic as well. its cool too that it doesnt ever feel like a "static" camera either, or one that is strictly "slow", the camera reacts just as our characters do: it shies away from and dreads the wind, it peers with curiosity and confronts with intimacy and seriousness; now being familiar with the (most) rest of his filmography its interesting to see how his habits and style has sharpened in this, particularly in his close ups which, in contrast to some of his older movies, are able to really capture the depth and essence of the image. i think there is also an element of meta that hes playing with here, when the neighbor comes over and monologues the end of the world, the father tells him off with one swift line and he merely shrugs. something to be said surely, i am too tired to find out what though... i forgot how religious this was as well. the narration, though sparse, reminded me a bit of On the Silver Globe.

during the showing one of the motors went out about 5 or 10 minutes before the movje was supposed to end. a little annoying, but it let me take a potty break so it worked out. however, right before the motor died, during the spoiler: click to read, he says "we will try again tomorrow". i personally thought that would have been a bit of a lovely spot to end the movie.

4.5

Various Artists

DRB07 (2019) [EP]

UK Garage

either im running out of steam or this one was just really boring

i said i would listen sporadically but im probably just gonna keep listening to these drb releases back to back to back

2.5

El-Perception / Alec Falconer / Ease Up George / Sky Joose

DRB06 (2018) [EP]

Baltimore Club, Deep House

Outsider House, UK Garage

rhythmic, male vocalist

real booty moment. 1>2

good graphic

3

Zomby

Where Were U in '92? (2008)

Hardcore Breaks

Dubstep, Baltimore Club, 2-Step, Jungle

dense, energetic, party, repetitive, rhythmic

yeah theres a reason its taken me this long to sit through this thing. contrived and boring. i just hate the attitude here. very cocky, and not very exciting.

2.5

Burial

Burial (2006)

Dubstep, Future Garage

Ambient, 2-Step

urban, nocturnal, atmospheric, dark, cold

this is easy to write off as worse than Untrue (i mean. it is. but). not nearly as coherent or singular in vision, and its a lot more aggressive and grimey. but theres a lot to enjoy still. i think the middle stretch of tracks is where it gets tough - a handful of boring tracks make it feel kinda tedious. the last three save it though. lots of exciting percussion and surprising melodic work. the spaceape feature is interesting

3.5

Ghost / Herb LF / Shorterz & Lopaski / Perception

DRB05 (2018)

UK Garage

all quite smooth; very clean. "Letting Go" is a real gem.

3

DJ Backspin / Sully / Etch / Reverend Slippy

DRB01 (2016) [EP]

UK Garage

rhythmic

the first two are quite strong, very energetic, brimming with polish and style. the second two are also good, but leave a bit less of an impression on me.

going to go through dr banana sporadically

3

Burial

Truant / Rough Sleeper (2012) [EP]

Future Garage, Dubstep, Post-Dubstep

Ambient House, 2-Step, Minimal Drum and Bass

atmospheric, nocturnal, urban, lonely, sombre

very fragmental. little mini eps inandof themselves.

its a real shame he didnt bundle these with Kindred EP, would probably be another earthquake electronic album and change the scene forever, or something.

3

Burial

Kindred EP (2012) [EP]

Future Garage

2-Step, Ambient House

lonely, urban, atmospheric, cold, dark

wow. this is ridiculous. but where else can you go after Untrue?

a return to form in a way, the EPs directly preceding this were definitely fine and Burial, but they leave something special to be desired.

its amazing how well he works in a longform format. Loner is quite massive. Kindred is the real takeaway though

3.5

Burial

Street Halo (2011) [EP]

Future Garage

Ambient House, 2-Step

melancholic, urban, cold, atmospheric, nocturnal

lovely. stolen dog is of course the highlight. the other two are nice, though at times feel like they are simply just floating by

3

Burial

South London Boroughs (2005) [EP]

Dubstep, Future Garage

urban, dark, atmospheric, rhythmic, nocturnal

not bad. the upfront dubstep is interesting, a bit aggressive despite what burial is mostly known for. nothing really stands out though; these definitely all feel like bsides

3

Burial

Ghost Hardware (2007) [EP]

Dubstep, Future Garage

2-Step, Ambient Dub

cold, sampling, rhythmic, atmospheric, nocturnal

title track is self explanatory.

shutta is quite interesting. definitely difficult to follow rhythmically but i dont mind.

exit woundz is a satisfying ender.

3

Benga

Diary of an Afro Warrior (2008)

Dubstep

Tearout, UK Funky

rhythmic, instrumental, urban, party, atmospheric

a bit too long but a handful of exciting tracks. hes got great bass sense and amazing rhythmic ability.

3

Skream

Skream! (2006)

Dubstep

Grime, Dub

rhythmic, atmospheric, urban, sampling, repetitive

its fine. not everything hits but theres classics here, i recognize some from the allstars comps ive heard. good dub

3

Blood Meridian

i just finished reading Blood Meridian (FINALLY) after about a month or two of on and off reading. its a bit of a tougher read honestly if you arent primed for his style but i enjoyed it. hes got a very breadth-y lexicon and his run-on structures are almost hypnotic, his paragraphs play out like paintings rather than concrete descriptions of events. there are elements of existentialism that almost break through some of the dialogue and narration. very violent and apathetic.

3.5

Heaven Knows (2023)

Contemporary R&B, Alt-Pop, Electronic Dance Music

Liquid Drum and Bass, Dance-Pop, 2-Step, Breakbeat, Alternative R&B

Beimax Chessclub (2025)

Detroit Sound

Chipmunk Soul, Future Funk, Pop Rap, Nervous Music, Cloud Rap

The Spooks / Bison 2 / Assasin (2001) [Single]

3

Burial

Untrue (2007)

Future Garage, Dubstep

2-Step, Ambient

urban, nocturnal, atmospheric, lonely, melancholic

well yes its probably about time. all this dubstep and whatnot.

its difficult to deny the mastery here: Burial's production methods give way to lots of breath and soul in every track - ghosts lurk around in all frequency ranges, it isnt necessarily just a drum loop and synths, it seems that intangible phantoms and apparitions weave in and out of the spaces inbetween accents and condensate off the exhales of synths or flash away just before the bass hits you. hes also got quite the ear for samples. "Archangel" you can feel the yearning pulling off those vocals. surprisingly, though, my favorite sections are the ambient interlude tracks; hes an expert songwriter and all of the qualities ive lauded thus far are only further emphasized when we arent being lead on by proper rhythmic structure.

all of this isnt to say Untrue isnt without its problems. Etched Headplate, the title track and Shell of Light bore me and offer little to look forward to come back to, and the sequencing in general feels like it could probably have used some extra work.

its hard to properly gauge exactly what kind of album this is in the grand context of all electronic music or all music in general, i dont disagree with its praise but its image will forever be soured and tainted - unable to determine if it truly stands on its own within dubstep, if its so-far-above-standard production and craftsmanship have skewed its place in the music canon in a neverending snowball of misunderstanding/uneducated accolades. who knows.

3.5

Chef & Ramadanman

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 07 (2009) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

UK Bass, UK Funky

oh boy another double disc...

chefs side offers a wide range of styles and is kind of all over the place, its the most lighthearted and upbeat mix in the series so far and coincidentally also the most boring.

ramadanman makes this daunting 2 disc worth it though with a very classy mix; lots of style, great track synergy, deep atmosphere and plenty of flourishes throughout make it a super exciting and equally relaxing mix. plenty of dancefloor shuffle moments

3, sadly

GFOTY & Spinee

Dog Food (2016)

Bubblegum Bass

Happy Hardcore, Grime, Jumpstyle, Hip House

repetitive, manic, humorous, party, playful

noisy, heavy, alcohol, animals, violence

sometimes curious, sometimes confusing, but mostly just okay.

3

Dubsidia

Here Comes Trouble EP (2011) [EP]

Brostep

Electro House

biggest weakness of this ep is its lack of brevity without variation. very strong sometimes great ideas and really keyed in sound design but none of it warrants a 5+ minute runtime on any of these songs.

3

Plaqueboymax

Five Forever (2025) [Mixtape]

Trap

Rage

sexual, repetitive, hedonism, fashion, mellow

way overhated lol. at its worst its just boring, but after yacht 2 he really locks in and those last 5 alone could be a 3.5 or higher on a good day

3.5

Shotgun99

Green Apple (2016) [Single]

Moombahcore, Drumstep

avant-garde

really cool. theres a lot of interesting timing and cool textures in here, some of it feels like oldschool brostep stuff i like that. i think this would be way less memed if the kicks were heavier

3.5

Appleblim

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 06 (2008) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

2-Step, Dub Techno

this volume features a lot of dub tech/reggae influences which is neat. it also features some of my favorite percussion ive heard in dubstep so far, really love the tracks that play around with delay. unfortunately on the whole i think its one of the weaker mixes though; the first 20 or 30 minutes are real slow and it takes a while before i can really get into it

3

A Perfect World (1993)

makes a lot of sense this directly precedes Bridges..., its similarly warm and romantic. Clint experiments with the nature of a father figure, religion, youth (catching up to and chasing it), crime and love. subversively introduces itself as some kind of cat and mouse thriller with clint as the seasoned above-the-law detective versus costner's all-brains formalist-criminal antagonist but subtly quiets the engines and slows its pace down as it becomes more preoccupied with phillip's adventure.

you can read all about it in fuckcomments' review but those last 20 minutes are some especially beautiful filmmaking

3.5

Body of Lies (2008)

movie wednesday escapades continue. todays episode might be particularly grating for some of you

very visually locked in - amazing compositional work and set pieces; rooted equally in the digital (surveillance/database) and gritty physical worlds. always on your toes, the pacing is very very fast. substantially not the most exciting of his movies though; incompetent higher ups decide your life or death via remote controls and absent-minded phone calls while their kids play soccer and your love interest is extortion leverage - Mann would've been able to sell this much better, but its not like Scott failed anyone.

3

Phoenix Forgotten (2017)

a productive day of chores, libraries, pickleball and chicken.

ive been wanting to check out a dvd from a library and try it... just cuz. we had to go to one anyway for my girlfriend to drop off one of her books and while searching for ridley scott films i noticed he produced this (for whatever reason the library in question has his credit for that stored in their database) and seeing as its a low stakes movie that ive had a mild interest in i thought why not.

im really not a fan of how they build up the mockumentary half of this, it feels very thin; there really isnt even much to make a documentation of (which is reflected by the heavy amounts of archival footage padding up runtime in the first two acts) so it just gets distracting cutting to interview sections or hearing a score. i did like the very intimate and idyllic filming during the documentary sections though.

i really really love the diary element of a lot of found footage stuff and the opening of this (as well as much of Josh's footage) was perfect for that. it captures some really warm interactions, i kind of wish it was just a long string of his clips and news clips without anyone explaining what we're seeing as its happening...

the ending bit was honestly a bit exhausting thinking back on it, but there are a few noteworthy moments that make up for it.

2.5

N-Type

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 05 (2007) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

Tearout, Grime

ohhh yes. this is what ive been wanting!

aside from volume 4, this mix is very much in line with the goals of the first 3 at carving out and showcasing a unique identity of dubstep (call it a "gimmick" i guess). this time around, N-type focuses a lot on "drops", and the result is a lot of super early proto-ish brostep kind of stuff. the jump from classic dubstep to brostep in the modern context can seem like a stretch but this mix really puts into context how the latter bridged off from the former. really dope stuff, constantly engaging and surprisingly heavy at times. a lot of production highlights

3.5

Youngsta & Hatcha

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 04 (2006) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

so far, every mix in this series has represented a different side to dubstep's identity (at least thats how im reading it). 01 is just a great introduction, 02 serves deep black sparsity, and 03 dabbles in dub poetry. so 04? well, to start its two discs (daunting); a Youngsta VS. Hatcha situation. but beyond that? both mixes feel equally dark, but i cant help but feel they either retread groundwork laid out in the first 3 mixes or they simply do nothing especially interesting and notable like the first 3 did. that isnt to say these are bad mixes, no, both are excellently crafted and have a handful of standout tracks, especially Hatcha's. but in the context of the series i think these mixes do fall short in that they really arent all that special. oh well.

3

Kode9 featuring The Spaceape

Dubstep Allstars: Vol.03 (2006) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

Dub Poetry

so very cool and alien. while reading A Darker Electricity, when they would mention MCs at free parties speaking or rapping i could never quite get a good idea of that in my head. it always felt like it'd be such an awkward thing. but i can totally see the vision now. even if hes repetitive, theres something super hypnotic and lulling about Spaceapes poetry that makes this such an enveloping listen. and Kode9 has a really great dark track selection, keeping things interesting between verses. some people are asking for less Spaceape, but i was missing him by the end!

3.5

Youngsta

Dubstep Allstars, Vol.02 (2005) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

nocturnal, hypnotic, cold, dark, sparse

rounding off the night where we started the day: DUB STEP ALL STARS VOL UME TWO

way way way more stripped back and atmospheric than 01, this is dark shadows and roomy corners all the way around, no lights and tons of smoke in ya lungs

maybe im crazy but i kinda preferred 01 more. i fw the vibes here but its not as exciting to me as the dancy more engaging stuff in the first mix. still dope though. very interesting

3

Dropdead

落とす死 [Dropdead] (1993)

Thrashcore, Powerviolence, Crust Punk

political, energetic, pessimistic, heavy, aggressive

similarly to Unrest, this is really just great grindcore disguised as d-beat. lots of really stellar songwriting honestly, this is some of the most ridiculous 11-notch violent punk ive heard. amazing vocals

Skitslickers

GBG 1982 (1982) [EP]

D-Beat

Thrashcore

raw, aggressive, angry, rebellious, heavy

pretty hard to hate on it for only being 3 minutes and being violent as fuck. if you can you should hear the reissue with bonus tracks, "The Night of the Holocaust" is insane

Vintage Addiction (2008)

D-Beat, Crust Punk, Blackened Crust

elekktroshokk was in constant rotation as a kid but for whatever reason i never listened to the full ep. surprisingly really good - these guys have a very diverse and exciting approach to this sound, hard to nail down exactly what genre theyre operating in at any given moment but its dope so who cares.

3

Nero

Promises (2011) [Single]

Electropop, Melodic Dubstep, Brostep

New Rave, Electro House, Dancefloor Drum and Bass

female vocalist, bittersweet, futuristic, energetic, introspective

im going through RYM's Top 20 Brostep Singles of All Time RANKED! btw.

sigh. i wish i loved this more, but i have big qualms with both mixes here. the original has no patience; the one thing skrillex definitely understood was that the "chorus" part of the vocals deserves a calm-before-the-storm atmosphere to it. i think the verses are interesting (especially the drums) but it moves too quickly before the kinda mediocre drop. skrillex's is marginally better, but the drop always felt so contrived to me, like hes kind of just on autopilot or something.

3

Moody Good

Fall in Love (Moody Good Remix) (2014) [Single]

Vi är bäst! [We Are the Best!] (2013)

had me grinning the whole time. moodyssons ability to capture naturalism shines especially bright here, and the editing is lowkey crazy theres so many cuts in every scene. understands the subtle magic of starting a band and playing music with your friend - it isnt really about writing anything or hitting the right notes. the rooftop scene was gorgeous, a strangely (but welcome) introspective intermission in the middle of this very humorous fast paced movie.

summer is rolling in, it is a lovely warm day, the sun is shining, i am doing laundry, and yeule and vildhjarta dropped today.

way shorter than i was expecting but ig i cant complain, for what it was it was really boring anyway. a lot of going-nowhere songs, its clear shes moving away from boundary pushing ideas and focusing more on songwriting and accessibility, which isnt a bad thing but doesnt work for me. the last half almost saves this. "Dudu" is pretty damn good though.

a return to form in a way, the EPs directly preceding this were definitely fine and Burial, but they leave something special to be desired.

its amazing how well he works in a longform format. Loner is quite massive. Kindred is the real takeaway though

3.5

Burial

Street Halo (2011) [EP]

Future Garage

Ambient House, 2-Step

melancholic, urban, cold, atmospheric, nocturnal

lovely. stolen dog is of course the highlight. the other two are nice, though at times feel like they are simply just floating by

3

Burial

South London Boroughs (2005) [EP]

Dubstep, Future Garage

urban, dark, atmospheric, rhythmic, nocturnal

not bad. the upfront dubstep is interesting, a bit aggressive despite what burial is mostly known for. nothing really stands out though; these definitely all feel like bsides

3

Burial

Ghost Hardware (2007) [EP]

Dubstep, Future Garage

2-Step, Ambient Dub

cold, sampling, rhythmic, atmospheric, nocturnal

title track is self explanatory.

shutta is quite interesting. definitely difficult to follow rhythmically but i dont mind.

exit woundz is a satisfying ender.

3

Benga

Diary of an Afro Warrior (2008)

Dubstep

Tearout, UK Funky

a bit too long but a handful of exciting tracks. hes got great bass sense and amazing rhythmic ability.

3

Skream

Skream! (2006)

Dubstep

Grime, Dub

rhythmic, atmospheric, urban, sampling, repetitive

its fine. not everything hits but theres classics here, i recognize some from the allstars comps ive heard. good dub

3

Blood Meridian

i just finished reading Blood Meridian (FINALLY) after about a month or two of on and off reading. its a bit of a tougher read honestly if you arent primed for his style but i enjoyed it. hes got a very breadth-y lexicon and his run-on structures are almost hypnotic, his paragraphs play out like paintings rather than concrete descriptions of events. there are elements of existentialism that almost break through some of the dialogue and narration. very violent and apathetic.

3.5

PinkPantheress

Heaven Knows (2023)

Contemporary R&B, Alt-Pop, Electronic Dance Music

Liquid Drum and Bass, Dance-Pop, 2-Step, Breakbeat, Alternative R&B

Epic Collage

Ambient, Glitch, Modern Classical, Deconstructed Club, Flashcore

surreal, sampling, maximalist, energetic, dissonant

Detroit Sound

Chipmunk Soul, Future Funk, Pop Rap, Nervous Music, Cloud Rap

Ghost

The Spooks / Bison 2 / Assasin (2001) [Single]

Dubstep, 2-Step

3.5

UK Garage, 2-Step

Dubstep

surreal, sparse, melodic, atmospheric

interesting. calm stuff

3

Burial

Untrue (2007)

Future Garage, Dubstep

2-Step, Ambient

urban, nocturnal, atmospheric, lonely, melancholic

well yes its probably about time. all this dubstep and whatnot.

its difficult to deny the mastery here: Burial's production methods give way to lots of breath and soul in every track - ghosts lurk around in all frequency ranges, it isnt necessarily just a drum loop and synths, it seems that intangible phantoms and apparitions weave in and out of the spaces inbetween accents and condensate off the exhales of synths or flash away just before the bass hits you. hes also got quite the ear for samples. "Archangel" you can feel the yearning pulling off those vocals. surprisingly, though, my favorite sections are the ambient interlude tracks; hes an expert songwriter and all of the qualities ive lauded thus far are only further emphasized when we arent being lead on by proper rhythmic structure.

all of this isnt to say Untrue isnt without its problems. Etched Headplate, the title track and Shell of Light bore me and offer little to look forward to come back to, and the sequencing in general feels like it could probably have used some extra work.

its hard to properly gauge exactly what kind of album this is in the grand context of all electronic music or all music in general, i dont disagree with its praise but its image will forever be soured and tainted - unable to determine if it truly stands on its own within dubstep, if its so-far-above-standard production and craftsmanship have skewed its place in the music canon in a neverending snowball of misunderstanding/uneducated accolades. who knows.

3.5

Chef & Ramadanman

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 07 (2009) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

UK Bass, UK Funky

oh boy another double disc...

chefs side offers a wide range of styles and is kind of all over the place, its the most lighthearted and upbeat mix in the series so far and coincidentally also the most boring.

ramadanman makes this daunting 2 disc worth it though with a very classy mix; lots of style, great track synergy, deep atmosphere and plenty of flourishes throughout make it a super exciting and equally relaxing mix. plenty of dancefloor shuffle moments

3, sadly

GFOTY & Spinee

Dog Food (2016)

Bubblegum Bass

Happy Hardcore, Grime, Jumpstyle, Hip House

repetitive, manic, humorous, party, playful

always something interesting. lots of great ideas here. i dont love it as much as fuckcomments does but i agree that theres an air of sincerity permeating everything

Thrashcore

Powerviolence, Grindcore, Noise Rock

aggressive, political, angry, heavy, raw

neat. very aggressive. last track sounds like no trend

3

40Gradi

Hi-Tech Re-Search (2008)

Goregrind

Brutal Death Metal, Mathcore

noisy, heavy, alcohol, animals, violence

sometimes curious, sometimes confusing, but mostly just okay.

3

Dubsidia

Here Comes Trouble EP (2011) [EP]

Brostep

Electro House

biggest weakness of this ep is its lack of brevity without variation. very strong sometimes great ideas and really keyed in sound design but none of it warrants a 5+ minute runtime on any of these songs.

3

Plaqueboymax

Five Forever (2025) [Mixtape]

Trap

Rage

sexual, repetitive, hedonism, fashion, mellow

way overhated lol. at its worst its just boring, but after yacht 2 he really locks in and those last 5 alone could be a 3.5 or higher on a good day

3

N.O.D.

Niggaz of Destruction (1996)

so good hes srsly one of the best producers ever. every marrgielaa snippet is so good i need to hear their mix. so funny how he is always using these like orchestral instruments but they dont sound silly at all

3.5

Shotgun99

Green Apple (2016) [Single]

Moombahcore, Drumstep

avant-garde

really cool. theres a lot of interesting timing and cool textures in here, some of it feels like oldschool brostep stuff i like that. i think this would be way less memed if the kicks were heavier

3.5

Appleblim

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 06 (2008) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

2-Step, Dub Techno

this volume features a lot of dub tech/reggae influences which is neat. it also features some of my favorite percussion ive heard in dubstep so far, really love the tracks that play around with delay. unfortunately on the whole i think its one of the weaker mixes though; the first 20 or 30 minutes are real slow and it takes a while before i can really get into it

3

A Perfect World (1993)

makes a lot of sense this directly precedes Bridges..., its similarly warm and romantic. Clint experiments with the nature of a father figure, religion, youth (catching up to and chasing it), crime and love. subversively introduces itself as some kind of cat and mouse thriller with clint as the seasoned above-the-law detective versus costner's all-brains formalist-criminal antagonist but subtly quiets the engines and slows its pace down as it becomes more preoccupied with phillip's adventure.

you can read all about it in fuckcomments' review but those last 20 minutes are some especially beautiful filmmaking

3.5

Body of Lies (2008)

movie wednesday escapades continue. todays episode might be particularly grating for some of you

very visually locked in - amazing compositional work and set pieces; rooted equally in the digital (surveillance/database) and gritty physical worlds. always on your toes, the pacing is very very fast. substantially not the most exciting of his movies though; incompetent higher ups decide your life or death via remote controls and absent-minded phone calls while their kids play soccer and your love interest is extortion leverage - Mann would've been able to sell this much better, but its not like Scott failed anyone.

3

Phoenix Forgotten (2017)

a productive day of chores, libraries, pickleball and chicken.

ive been wanting to check out a dvd from a library and try it... just cuz. we had to go to one anyway for my girlfriend to drop off one of her books and while searching for ridley scott films i noticed he produced this (for whatever reason the library in question has his credit for that stored in their database) and seeing as its a low stakes movie that ive had a mild interest in i thought why not.

im really not a fan of how they build up the mockumentary half of this, it feels very thin; there really isnt even much to make a documentation of (which is reflected by the heavy amounts of archival footage padding up runtime in the first two acts) so it just gets distracting cutting to interview sections or hearing a score. i did like the very intimate and idyllic filming during the documentary sections though.

i really really love the diary element of a lot of found footage stuff and the opening of this (as well as much of Josh's footage) was perfect for that. it captures some really warm interactions, i kind of wish it was just a long string of his clips and news clips without anyone explaining what we're seeing as its happening...

the ending bit was honestly a bit exhausting thinking back on it, but there are a few noteworthy moments that make up for it.

2.5

N-Type

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 05 (2007) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

Tearout, Grime

ohhh yes. this is what ive been wanting!

aside from volume 4, this mix is very much in line with the goals of the first 3 at carving out and showcasing a unique identity of dubstep (call it a "gimmick" i guess). this time around, N-type focuses a lot on "drops", and the result is a lot of super early proto-ish brostep kind of stuff. the jump from classic dubstep to brostep in the modern context can seem like a stretch but this mix really puts into context how the latter bridged off from the former. really dope stuff, constantly engaging and surprisingly heavy at times. a lot of production highlights

3.5

Youngsta & Hatcha

Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 04 (2006) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

so far, every mix in this series has represented a different side to dubstep's identity (at least thats how im reading it). 01 is just a great introduction, 02 serves deep black sparsity, and 03 dabbles in dub poetry. so 04? well, to start its two discs (daunting); a Youngsta VS. Hatcha situation. but beyond that? both mixes feel equally dark, but i cant help but feel they either retread groundwork laid out in the first 3 mixes or they simply do nothing especially interesting and notable like the first 3 did. that isnt to say these are bad mixes, no, both are excellently crafted and have a handful of standout tracks, especially Hatcha's. but in the context of the series i think these mixes do fall short in that they really arent all that special. oh well.

3

Kode9 featuring The Spaceape

Dubstep Allstars: Vol.03 (2006) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

Dub Poetry

so very cool and alien. while reading A Darker Electricity, when they would mention MCs at free parties speaking or rapping i could never quite get a good idea of that in my head. it always felt like it'd be such an awkward thing. but i can totally see the vision now. even if hes repetitive, theres something super hypnotic and lulling about Spaceapes poetry that makes this such an enveloping listen. and Kode9 has a really great dark track selection, keeping things interesting between verses. some people are asking for less Spaceape, but i was missing him by the end!

3.5

Youngsta

Dubstep Allstars, Vol.02 (2005) [DJ Mix]

Dubstep

nocturnal, hypnotic, cold, dark, sparse

rounding off the night where we started the day: DUB STEP ALL STARS VOL UME TWO

way way way more stripped back and atmospheric than 01, this is dark shadows and roomy corners all the way around, no lights and tons of smoke in ya lungs

maybe im crazy but i kinda preferred 01 more. i fw the vibes here but its not as exciting to me as the dancy more engaging stuff in the first mix. still dope though. very interesting

3

Dropdead

落とす死 [Dropdead] (1993)

Thrashcore, Powerviolence, Crust Punk

political, energetic, pessimistic, heavy, aggressive

similarly to Unrest, this is really just great grindcore disguised as d-beat. lots of really stellar songwriting honestly, this is some of the most ridiculous 11-notch violent punk ive heard. amazing vocals

3.5

Disfear

Soul Scars (1995)

D-Beat, Crust Punk

angry, male vocalist, raw, war, apocalyptic

dark, violent, oppressive. lovely stuff

3

Skitslickers

GBG 1982 (1982) [EP]

D-Beat

Thrashcore

raw, aggressive, angry, rebellious, heavy

pretty hard to hate on it for only being 3 minutes and being violent as fuck. if you can you should hear the reissue with bonus tracks, "The Night of the Holocaust" is insane

3

Dishammer

Vintage Addiction (2008)

D-Beat, Crust Punk, Blackened Crust

Thrash Metal, Black Metal, Speed Metal

misanthropic, dark, rhythmic, raw, sexual

meh. really didnt like the vocals at all, some of the lyrics are so eye roll macho it hurts. kinda lame riffs too

2.5

Skitsystem

Stigmata (2006)

Crust Punk, D-Beat

Electronic Dance Music, Brostep

Drumstep, Complextro, Glitch Hop [EDM]

elekktroshokk was in constant rotation as a kid but for whatever reason i never listened to the full ep. surprisingly really good - these guys have a very diverse and exciting approach to this sound, hard to nail down exactly what genre theyre operating in at any given moment but its dope so who cares.

Brostep, Tearout

3

Nero

Promises (2011) [Single]

Electropop, Melodic Dubstep, Brostep

New Rave, Electro House, Dancefloor Drum and Bass

female vocalist, bittersweet, futuristic, energetic, introspective

im going through RYM's Top 20 Brostep Singles of All Time RANKED! btw.

sigh. i wish i loved this more, but i have big qualms with both mixes here. the original has no patience; the one thing skrillex definitely understood was that the "chorus" part of the vocals deserves a calm-before-the-storm atmosphere to it. i think the verses are interesting (especially the drums) but it moves too quickly before the kinda mediocre drop. skrillex's is marginally better, but the drop always felt so contrived to me, like hes kind of just on autopilot or something.

3

Moody Good

Fall in Love (Moody Good Remix) (2014) [Single]

Vi är bäst! [We Are the Best!] (2013)

had me grinning the whole time. moodyssons ability to capture naturalism shines especially bright here, and the editing is lowkey crazy theres so many cuts in every scene. understands the subtle magic of starting a band and playing music with your friend - it isnt really about writing anything or hitting the right notes. the rooftop scene was gorgeous, a strangely (but welcome) introspective intermission in the middle of this very humorous fast paced movie.

its fine. wish it was a bit more cohesive ig. a few cool tracks, doll with pins is great. hes a pretty good lyricist but he has one line in here about ai that absolutely curdled my brain. last track is dope free

summer is rolling in, it is a lovely warm day, the sun is shining, i am doing laundry, and yeule and vildhjarta dropped today.

way shorter than i was expecting but ig i cant complain, for what it was it was really boring anyway. a lot of going-nowhere songs, its clear shes moving away from boundary pushing ideas and focusing more on songwriting and accessibility, which isnt a bad thing but doesnt work for me. the last half almost saves this. "Dudu" is pretty damn good though.

Porter Robinson

Spitfire (2011) [EP]

Complextro, Brostep

Moombahcore, Festival Progressive House

energetic, repetitive, rhythmic, party, punchy

definitely his first ep - both a total product of its time and a midding display of influences, focusing less on cohesion and more on diversity; a showcase.

some tracks are pretty obvious about it - hes definitely channelling a lot of deadmau5 on Vandalism, or excision on The State, and others just feel like hes trying something new for the first time. Spitfire and Unison both come across quite amateurish, 100%... definitely only exists because that sample was funny to him. however occasionally moments of excellence shine through - 100%'s drops are super fun even today, and The Seconds is actually kind of a gorgeous track. beyond that though its difficult to give the first half of this any kind of positive score - its unfocused, even for a showcase, and very rough around the edges, as well as being a bit misguided (a porter robinson song about... taxes bein bad...). it doesnt help that almost every song is over 5 minutes as well, but it really just stems from him wanting to build intros and verses and bridges, so i cant be too upset i guess (he wants to write songs!)

he employs a respectable and recognizable-in-the-scene crew for the remix half, even though most of them are duds...

Knife Party's remix of Unison works well and is both inventive and texturally interesting. Mikka's remix of the same track is a bit um... radio friendly? (think Avicii, David Guetta, Deorro, etc.) Unfortunately Downlink on 100% seems to have been a misstep. unsatisfying and way too goofy - i personally would have chosen diplo, but maybe he hadnt developed his sound by then...

SKisM and KtN wrap it up with dated but admirable brostep remixes. the former weaves a very manic drop (and thankfully cuts about 95% of that annoying sample out) but falls short on the production/mixing side, while the latter is a bit more straightforward but has much better sounding production (also some candy sweet synths in the verse, yum!)

also, the packaging for these discs is quite good! very pristine, excellent quality. inspiring stuff...

a bit more standard than suncarcass' i feel, but still nice harshness. in typical BUS fashion, the second track is the more interesting of the two (they're calling it the BUS effect): very chaotic, it sounds like wall derived from constant movement. i felt like i heard voices at some point

thank yoi for mailijg me both BUS CDs, jack! ive been looking forward to BUSing all week!

really gott dig deeper into this suncarcass guy. first track is some quality harsh crunch, but the second takes the cake. super weird metallic textures and odd rainbow-digital-sounding processing or something, feels quite thrashing.

3

K-PAX (2001)

"In the vocabulary of the Russian Formalists the film has one syuzhet, but two fabulas."

like an anti-scifi mystery kind of deal. spacey plays his role well, bridges asks the questions we need him to ask. elevated by the occasionally very warm and floaty visuals - an admirable appreciation for the sun, and in general a deep sense of light-work, how it bends and flows and reshapes the image.

3

The Bridges of Madison County (1995)

just an amazing film. eastwood loads every scene with emotion, every gesture has its own gravity and every blurb of dialogue its own double meaning. nothing happens: a love that exists only in one short self destructing moment can only transpire from the total culmination of hundreds of individual, microscopic interactions. a warm rumination on rural american culture, sometimes appreciative and other times critical, but always romantic in a way i can imagine very few directors could do it. the chemistry between him and streep is perfect - one of those times a picture makes you forget its just a picture. at first i wasnt really fw the flashforward scenes to the kids (i still think they are a bit clunky tbh) but i think they help to pull the tragical aspects out of the story a bit more.

rain scene.

Stom Sogo Mix (2012)

duckcomments didnt like this one nearly as much as me, but im not sure why.

memories snapshots and interactions as textural blinks and paint splotches between frames. you process the afterimage stained with exposure, not the actual picture presenting itself. visually a beatdown, its definitely more strenuous to sit through this than it would probably be to watch each individual short, but i dont really care. really enjoyed the soundtrack as well.

whoever saying this is trying to be alive 2007 need to get zapped in the neck. if this is anything other than what it is its an extended remixed Cross. improves on a LOT of problems i have with cross (especially the party) and includes so much extra good material. the live version of ny excuse is fucking glorious. my biggest issue is the last track, i get it was probably fun and exciting but ts aged like yogurt 🥀

The Borderlands [Final Prayer] (2013)

productive day of reading, thrifting, laundry and cooking. now we wind down with a nifty little found footage watch.

standout aspect is the two leads that have both good chemistry and make for interesting crisis-of-faith characters. by and far a run of the mill exercise in haunted location + religious horror but it redeems itself with a claustrophobic, manic and inventive ending.

apparently, just over 6 years ago, i listened to this and gave it a 2. not sure what was going on that day...

undeniable that its at least good. these guys know how to craft an infectious and powerful groove, get you off your feet and get you on the damn dance floor. that said, its also long as fuck (aptly ending on "Too Long") and theres way too many duds here to turn a blind eye towards. a few tracks are even outright bad. but man... those first 4 tracks... if those dont win you over you may not be human after all

Valentino Khan

Deep Down Low (Remixes) (2015) [Single]

pleasantly surprised at how overall-enjoyable this is. getter's remix is fun and wonky; i love the higher pitched swiping synths. etc/tighttrax maintajns the darker vibe of the original while also going full festival party massive on the drop. party favor's was fine, a decent entry in that era's festival trap sound. the most surprising was L4HL's footwork adjacent remix; its a bit tedious but was exciting nonetheless

3.5

Here (2024)

fuck its the second fragment type movie

the only movie that can and will ever exist like this - form leads way to removing all emphasis on space or permanence; completely and totally romanticizing the history and context of an object or an event. birth death past and future. a tragedy rings out in ripples, resonating with a parallel misfortune decades earlier. its simple, but Zemeckis knows how to pull on the heart strings of americans.

American Sniper (2014)

curious. im still workshopping some thoughts on this, but ill say this for now: those last 20 minutes are legendary. i cant imagine what the dust storm scene wouldve looked like on the big screen.

3

Kárhozat [Damnation] (1988)

its crazy this came out just 3 years after Almanac. it feels like a completely different director was behind this lol.

very gorgeous (hes so much better at shooting b&w) and i appreciate the languid dream like pace, but i found much less than i was expecting in terms of substance to hold onto. something about harmony lacking between some of the images as well. still enjoyed it though, excited for man from london.

3

Árnyék a havon [Shadow on the Snow] (1992)

at its strongest when the camera is merely a bystander letting the slow passage of life go by without commentary, but unfortunately plays out a bit too standard for me, which hurts it in the end because this is really not a very substance heavy film. feels much longer than it is.

if u couldnt tell im just going thru some old moombah stuff i used to fw because im in the mood.

obv best track is the razor sharp vip, real 1s remember how hype ts was when it dropped its still p heavy to this day.

the rest of the tracks are boring exercises in versatility: highroller is a pretty repetitive and uninventive festival trap / rap take, how u feelin is just boring as fuck, but the last track stands out a bit for its decent, modern take on justice/daft punk sample-techno with a lukewarm drop.

Őszi almanach [Autumn Almanac] (1985)

maybe im just not built for boring hungarian cinema like that but this was so tedious. you can feel the seedlings of tarr's real style begin to sprout here but 1) hes still stuck in his docudrama phase and this is littered with uncomfortably intimate close ups that feel more contrived than expressive and 2) he is much too romantic in his execution here, partly because it seems he has no idea how to shoot in color (thankfully this is his final feature length color film). felt like 5 hours, but there are a few theatrical displays i found inventive or exciting, so i cant totally dog on it.

3 for now

Panelkapcsolat [The Prefab People] (1982)

probably the best of his "social realism" trilogy, all the skills he was working on have been satisfactorily sharpened here.

Samdaman55

"Works well as a quick character and social study"

effigy105

"admittedly the most daring in style [of his first three], breaking more than the others with typical documentary style in allowing for more meandering lengthy takes and a circular narrative structure."

both leads give fantastic performances

3

Unfriended (2014)

the skype call format is such a perfect parallel for camerawork on a large group - rather than relying on blocking, shot/reverse shot strategies we can simply emphasize who we want to listen to or watch by making them the highlighted user and minimizing everyone else's cams.

the opening scene is so chilling. especially when the screams come in.

:(

4

Szabadgyalog [The Outsider] (1982)

what tarr does get right is making us dislike the main character - such a bum! but this falls short for me thanks to its length and self indulgence without substance. tarr continues to stay in docudrama territory, theres a lot of two person dialogue sections that feel like interviews.

2.5

Alternative Metal, Metalcore

Djent, Industrial Metal

female vocalist, heavy, passionate, aggressive, melancholic

Családi tűzfészek [Family Nest] (1979)

quite claustrophobic - something that ends up being a stylistic motif in Tarr's early career are the uncomfortable and unflinching close up shots. i enjoyed how inactive the narrative felt here, even if the dinner scenes felt tedious theres an undeniably alluring attitude about it that i cant ignore

its not as good as the original but its a cool hardcore rework. warm. i hope he keeps revisiting his old stuff - even if i dont love this its 1000x more interesting than whatever the fuck hes been releasing recently

3

Cry Macho (2021)

not sure if i have the language yet to explain what it is about this thats so effective but clint is operating on a whole other level here. the way he captures naturalistic beauty, plays with family and surrogates, the meta-career-retrospective, the down to earth atmosphere; flawless stuff - it shocks me how poorly received it is.

3.5

Richard Jewell (2019)

hauser gives the performance of the century; a couple of seriously moving scenes, and the way clint is able to pull so much emotion out of it as well. fantastic stuff

Macbeth (1982)

im not gonna pretend im some macbeth expert or even that im at all interested in shakespeare but turin horse is playing in 35mm near me in june so im gonna sift through as many of his films as i can before then.

the theatrical aspects are cool, his super claustrophobic camerawork helps by letting the settings kind of fade in and out. feels really fast despite being a 2 take tarr film lol

na

Invaders From Mars (1986)

too 80s adventure family movie for me. theres still elements of hoopers style though: paranoia, light work, fascination with structure. props for the practical effects, im surprised the budget was less than 10 million.

2.5

Crocodile (2000)

think it only makes sense to watch this after eaten alive.

some elements of hoopers style are here, and i read that he wanted to do something like completely different than what hes done before, but this loses me. it really feels no different than the syfy movies it predates, its also just pretty boring. he said in an interview he aimed to capture the original atmosphere of TCM but idk i didnt feel it.

2.5

Eaten Alive (1976)

so much magic. i always mention how tobe explores physical location but this is something else. its fascinating how this plays out so theatrcally, centered around a main "stage" and a few side stages with interchangeable sets (analogy of course), experimenting with how light and visibility can completely alter the way we perceive location, hidden locations and trapdoors revealing entirely new sub-settings within the total, its brilliant stuff. not to mention the perfect score - actually so unsettling and alien, at times mimicking screams or whimpers, it feels like a voice inside our characters that narrates to us their thoughts. i think my only complaint is that it gets a bit tedious in the middle but the third act picks up perfectly to save it

Freetekno

serious all nighter no nonsense keep it pumping turn it up

a few shoddy transitions in the second disc but its all one big live take, i would probably have messed up a lil too

3.5

Dark Skies

just running through all his films. i may check out his other tv episode works like taken e1.

well its definitely a tv pilot. feels weird to rate as a movie i might take off the rating if i really think ab it but whatever. the toughest part is seeing how neutered this format makes tobe's style; even the aspect ratio contributes to this as it seriously hinders how he explores the physical world of his characters, and also limits what he can do with his framing. i also find it so disappointing how exciting alien visuals during this era were but how uninspired the sequences they belonged to were.

3.5

Jenifer

had some extra time so we tackled this one too.

its an interesting little watch. unique idea kind of. idk, it didnt strike me as deeply an as flashingly as Hooper's episodes but its an entertaining watch.

3

Dance of the Dead

while not quite as effective as The Damned Thing, its still another great late hooper picture. swaths of late-Scott editing and a handful of really visually overwhelming scenes. the plot of this is kind of crazy, it definitely wouldve worked better as a feature length, but at the same time i was disappointed at how slow some of it felt. more generational trauma, only this time we're breaking the cycle rather than letting it drown us

3

The Damned Thing

masters of horror mthursday and tobe time continues

always been really excited to get into this one, was well worth the wait. oozing (no pun intended) with style, so nice to see tobe get proper funding and support to just do his thing on a project without any interference. grossly warm, and the way characters move through this world feels so stuffy and claustrophobic. real painful trauma. you cant outrun your fathers sins and you cant save anyone from their fate. flanery's total dejection and languidity makes for one of my favorite performances ever. i wish he could have made this a feature length but im still totally happy with whats already here ❤️

3

Domino (2005)

cant believe ive waited this long to watch it. last of his late that i needed to see.

so much crazier than i was expecting, like all of his late tendencies turned up to 12, especially some of the scenes with intense color grading. looks really amazing. my only gripe gotta be that its kinda long and gets a bit tedious in the latter middle, but its fine. the ending actually had me tearing up. scott loved the world and he saw beauty in everyone

DJ Dean

If I Could Be You (2006) [Single]

Hands Up

female vocalist, romantic

was just thinking about how the trajectory of my life basically summed up the discovery of this as a statistical miracle. getting into hardstyle through hervoice's ratings and lists led me to considering a hardstyle mix of my own and in the process i had to download Black & White's We Explode (DJ Activator Remix) which just so happened to be a track on DJ Networx Vol. 31, but not any track, the only track that slsk user mlnl erroneously had swapped the metadata of with DJ Dean's If I Could Be You (Neo Cortex Remix). a completely ridiculous string of coincidences and accidents that led us here.

the original mix is definitely great, but the most important side of this single is unequivocally neo cortex's remix. the perfect hands up track, and im sure DJ Dean felt a deep shame when he heard that synth lead and thought "how did i not realize this before". the other remix is whatever: dance floor friendly, but im not a fan of electric guitars in my trance.

its nice to know that after an entire decade since i last gave a fuck about him, eptic has done very little with his style and continues to make the same kind of bwompy edm he was making when i was in middle school.

wasnt a fan of the disco-y track. space laces carries as per usual.

L' été dernier [Last Summer] (2023)

last one of the night, literally been planned and shelved for over a year now, but the stars aligned and we finally pushed through.

im only really familiar with Brève traversée [Brief Crossing], so im definitely missing a huge amount of directorial context and metatext, but i really loved this. similar to brief crossing, it also explores the idea of female authority sex, only this one is a lot more... warm! interesting to me how breillat frames her male characters, who seem to get much more screen time nude than Anne. really self destructive movie too. all the scenes with the little asian kids made me smile, so cute.

3.5

Sully (2016)

kind of impulse watch we kept joking about it and we have time so why not

captivating story, the best scenes are in the plane of course when the theatrics go away and its unfiltered pilot jargon. hanks is great here, perfect cast for this role honestly. as an eastwood though, this is definitely one of his weaker ones ive seen.

3

Spontaneous Combustion (1989)

oh and its also tobe tuesday duh

kind of absolutely ridiculous. i wish he wrote more of his movies because they always turn out fucking crazy. the plot of this is just insane, but that aside theres always like 5 things happening at once in any given scene; the movies primary mode of language is somewhere between overwhelming and exhaustion. especially by the third act, when essentially nothing even matters anymore and everyone is lying to you and no one knows the truth.

what also really stuck out to me that i think is something Hooper plays with in all of his movies is how he explores architecture and uses location as a narrative tool. all of the apartment scenes feel so strange, the way the hallway casts deep impenetrable shadows everywhere, spotlighting our hero's face or distorting the viewers perception of space. similarly in the lab, Hooper is able to creatively flourish and get a few ingenious shots out of the subtly odd layout of the rooms.

and of course i cant not mention the flashback sequence. give this editor some head!

3.5

The Searchers (1956)

also getting started with western summer.

feel like thematically i both missed a lot on first viewing and am still unpacking everything here, but god damn is it a picture. masterful framing and shooting, i honestly loved how much he played with the damn doorways. gorgeous colors as well; and i loved the fluidity of everything on screen, just the way Ford orchestrates his scenes. loved the daytime scenes adjusted in post to look nighttime.

3.5

The Mule (2018)

movie tuesday , which means there will be movies!

loved it. didnt expect it to be kind of silly at times, esp all of clints boomerisms. love how enthralling his story telling is - i could probably watch this 3 or 4 more times and not get tired of it. handful of gorgeous shots and transitions dont hurt either. a better review expounds here.

aggressive, mysterious, dark, drugs, satirical

yeahhhh i had to see waht it was all about. idk its fine. it feels weird to see uptempo reach an artist like this but hes really just a good producer at his core so its not really bad at all, id say its a bit unfocused and longwinded and im over his tags but what can you do. ill be interested to see if he continues to explore electronic music like this

Arlington Road (1999)

super mean spirited movie, pellington hates the fucking government man. all the camerawork is so unsettling, like this gross layer of grease and sweat you can never wipe off. but the real highlights are when the narrative takes a backseat and the visuals guide you through confusion and agony. amazing this was pre 9/11

3.5

The Woman in Black (2012)

gf wanted to watch this. my sister had a phase with this movie when i was younger so i was mostly familiar with it. kind of exists and is just nothing. another slop mess that tries to explore a houses trauma through visions of ghosts and jumpscares but with no style and no sense of true identity. daniel radcliffe confusingly fumbles from scene to scene and every subplot that happens outside the house feel like pyramids of cards.

great hardcore leaning smiles only freetek megamix.

a bit confused with the info on this though. this is supposed to be a page for legoland 1, but on the cd it says "0005", and a legoland 5 does exist, but on discogs it says its got comedy in it? but skimming through the legoland 5 youtube upload it just seems like a standard freetekno mix. who knows

3.5

Scanners (1981)

the only appropriate response in a post-Shrouds world is to just finish all of cronenbergs filmog even if its boring as fuck.

i respect the effort to make this very alien and disconnected - its got a special atmosphere that feels similar to Halloween III: Season of the Witch - but my god is it so boring. maybe on paper it sounded cool, but if the climactic battle of your story is literally just two guys staring at each other you can only imagine how little happens outside of that. so much exposition for a movie about reading minds.

The Shrouds (2024)

mm not entirely sure how i want to talk about this. i can totally see why its as divisive as it is but honestly this might be his best movie to date, at least his best late effort. only cronenberg is exploring grief this way. a movie about fetishizing and perversion and obsession and jealousy and products and bodies and conspiracies and lying and cheating and buying and selling and letting go. burying it all behind and carrying it with you.

loved cassel in this, he does an amazing job.

yeah the bones of everything he would nail in his later career are here but holy moly are they bones. theres nothing even offensively wrong with this its just so boring. also just the most ridiculous idea for a movie ever

2.5

Les Boucles Etranges

LBE 002 (1996) [EP]

Freetekno

rhythmic, psychedelic, energetic, dense, tribal

opens up promisingly but falls apart very fast. annoying and off grid vocal samples signalled the beginning of the end for me, and then nothing on the B side was all that exciting. le sigh

2.5

69db

LSD (1996) [EP]

Freetekno, Acid Techno

Minimal Techno

drugs, instrumental, rhythmic

jeez this is boring. must be the minimal tech influence. im not that deep yet

2.5

Gotek

Laptopnik 1 (2005)

Freetekno

so lovely. really dug the continuous mix format, lots of pure energy and creativity, constantly deconstructing and reconstructing sounds.

3.5

Curley

Axe Breaker (1998) [EP]

Freetekno, Industrial Hardcore

Acid Techno

rhythmic, energetic, mechanical, noisy

neither track is particularly exciting but they are good. not as hardcore as the tags would suggest

3

Robbert Mononom

Untitled (1998) [Single]

Freetekno

while the first one is nothing to write home about, the second track is pure unadulterated techno mastery. ripping synths - and a very cool little backstory to it as well!

3.5

T.E.F. / Sickness / Facialmess

Schizoid (2004)

Harsh Noise

tef side isnt his best but is still good fun

sickness side is maybe the most boring but is still a decent batch of harsh mess

facialmess is surprising with sampling and sound collagjng and BREAKCORE?!

AxIxLxIxTxSxOxAxPxHx

so obtuse and weird. really exciting stuff. wish there was more

Antropofagia

3.5

Sonny

Gypsyhook (2009) [EP]

Electropop

Electro House, Indietronica, Glitch Pop, Fidget House, Electro-Industrial

male vocalist, energetic, noisy, eclectic, cryptic

wild cover

super fun, a lot of skeletons of what he would flesh out later in his discog. love the hooks. all but one remix were really fun. not sure what made him cover his own song in japanese but whatever.

isnt ts a slur now

3.5

Enterorrhagia

Autoamputation Subject (2016)

Goregrind, Gorenoise

raw, sampling, disturbing, noisy

regular bubbling gore grind with too many samples. would be a 3 but i was forced to relive deadpool

2.5

Acid Scout

Musik für Millionen (1996)

Acid Techno, Detroit Techno

Industrial Techno, Tech House

energetic, rhythmic, party, futuristic, urban

loads more consistent and bouncing than his last album but it lacks the great acid work that his early stuff is so good for. still, pot and junkyard are standouts as well as a few other tracks

3

Muslimgauze

Lazhareem Ul Leper (2010)

Tribal Ambient, Post-Industrial

Glitch

inventive little loops that are either curious or annoying, with very few worth any further investigation. weird experimental side of him i wasnt expecting, but cool ig

2.5

Spiral Tribe

EP 23 No. 2 (1996) [EP]

Freetekno

more amazing stuff, a bit more consistent than the last one but less stand out highlights. still major

3.5

SP 23

SP 23 (1994) [EP]

Freetekno

Acidcore

major. grooving. a1 and b1 so massive and fun

3.5

Meltdown Mickey

Meltdown in Manhattan (1998) [DJ Mix]

Freetekno

my main man meltdown mickey

brief moments of epicness but overall is the weaker variant of freetek that probably sounds way better on a PA under the influence

3

Napoleon (2023)

last one of the night. another directors cut because fuck you

did not expect this to be as funny as it was, but i guess it makes sense it should be a bit satirical in nature. captivating war sequences as well, to quote a fellow rymer they "capture the awe of battle without glorifying war". very very violent.

i think the great visuals are here but are a bit few and far between, so i didnt love this as much as my friend.

3

Monster Hunter (2020)

massive stuff. first 30 minutes is so fucking evil man, constant pain and fear. but it breaks through and becomes more fun and exciting as it goes. love jovovich in this, her alliance with Jaa was very wholesome. visually super fascinating. love how PWSA dramaticizes shots and brings a lot of emphasis out of certain shots. great editing as well, the teleporting scenes are kinda flooring ngl. great mixture of cg and practical effects.

3.5

Djinn (2013)

its movie night once again and we are back at it with djinn. buddy tracked down the directors cut so thats what this entry will be about

does so much better than the theatrical cut. adds a lot more breadth to the entire thing while cutting out the repetitive exposition scenes. feels so oppressive - as soon as the couple gets off their plane its nothing but constant confusion and suffering. it feels suffocating - pressure on your chest and and swelling in your throat. very uncomfortable. plenty of cultural themes as well - what it means to be an arabic woman or a mother - but thats not my specialty so ill leave that as an exercise for the reader.

i know it isnt intentional, and it comes from the unofficiality and unedited nature, but the quality of this really elevated it for me. there are these really dark shots, the camera is just glaring into these holes of hallways and corners, or during the fog scenes, or even just a dim wall, and the lower resolution brings out these really heavy alluring gradients, it feels like quicksand.

super evil stuff. i hope one day it can see an official release

3.5

Pride & Prejudice (2005)

went to see in theatres with gf, glad i made the last minute decision.

incredibly warm and bubbling with life and chemistry. every scene feels like water rolling through streams. a movie that totally understands how to convey natural beauty and light. by and far some of the best performances; its much too easy to fall into their world and be totally absorbed by every micro-interaction - i knew going into this that Austens character writing was something next level but its put to film so elegantly hear - Knightly and Macfayden feel like they carry real gravity and are tied at the end of their strings destined to crash into each other. not to downplay everyone else, its stellar performances across the board. too much to summarize - lots of smiling and tears.

Sylvir

anticrystal EP (2016) [EP]

Brostep, Glitch Hop, Tearout [Brostep]

Ghettotech, Baltimore Club

Dabke, Jersey Club, Juke, Miami Bass, Plunderphonics, Breakbeat

weird to me this is so popular and somehow bolded. really gross obvious appropriation, literally just racist. besides that its pretty boring. nothing

2.5

Minimalistic Source

Minimalistic Source 3 (1993) [Single]

Freetekno

Gabber, Space Ambient

i was like gabber? this isnt gabber... and then it hit me. like a gabber kick

3.5

Beroshima

ACID ORANGE 000 (1994) [EP]

Techno

Ambient Techno

final acid orange im going to listen to (i know there are a few past AO020 but idc ab them). daunting listen because 40 minutes of first time techno wanking from beroshima seemed really grating (surprise: it was). a lot of nothing happening and very sparse spread of ideas. b side felt like an eternity

2.5

Acid Scout

Safari (1994)

Acid Techno

Ambient, Ambient Techno

repetitive, nocturnal, energetic, rhythmic, futuristic

sigh... so disappointing. the one review sums it up pretty well. just too soft for a 70 minute acid thing. back quarter carries, and its laden with interesting things, but man i was expecting a lot more

3

gapyear / Koshe

Gapyear / Koshe (2023) [EP]

Emo

Screamo, Noise Pop, Slacker Rock

Glitch Hop [EDM], Downtempo

Neurohop, Modern Classical, Atmospheric Drum and Bass, Liquid Drum and Bass, Trip Hop, Dubstep, Chillstep, Broken Beat

atmospheric, melodic, calm, mellow, spring

yall know how much i love ending things on bad notes. tonight is no exception.

not that this is necessarily bad tho its very well produced and sure its creative but it feels like nice pretty sounds with no substance. idk, not my thing, i dont care for it at all.

2.5

april 22

yea bringing this format back again

played a show with a few bands. i was hungry and thirsty the whole time. our set was successful though we all did good, it was p loud and even though i dropped a stick and one broke i recovered well. tried out some new gimmicks that worked out neatly.

Omnimorph opened for us. i didnt get to catch their whole set but it was some atmo black metal vibes. good drummer. she was super nice - she was backlining and was very communicative and helpful. very kind soul

Ick played after us. touring band from cali. sludge / hxc punk / thrash stuff. very loud two piece. drummer was cool and they were hella locked in with the guitar feedback.

bobo played last. writing this preemptively: love their drummer hes wild as fuck, good weirdo rock music from a bygone era.

SP 23

Fugitive Future (2019)

Freetekno

Bass House, Brostep

rhythmic, sampling, nocturnal, party, futuristic

expected to hate this but its surprisingly decent.

CD and Ix stick to freetekno's roots, the latter playing it quite safe, the former giving two really strong tracks that sound exactly like freetek in the modern age should. 69db's bookending tracks are fine. the last one is good, high energy, but im not so hot on the first two -hop feeling ones.

whoever is voting brostep gotta chill

3

Short Bus Pile Up

Volumes of Dismal Manifestations Book I (2025) [EP]

Slam Death Metal

heavy, death, aggressive, dense, rhythmic

as boring, sample-ridden and poorly produced as it is, i have to admit that the opening sample actually floored me it was so funny. i wish they stuck with the audiobook theme ts wouldve been gold

2.5

Phase IV

Phase IV (1992) [EP]

Hardcore [EDM], Acidcore

been diging all the breakbeats ive been getting in these techno releases lately. no exception here. very fun. im jumping up and down like a kangaroo

3.5

Various Artists

Zoo Rave 1 (1992) [Compilation]

Techno

another comp i found at hpb but for whatever reason it was NINE DOLLARS (on discogs for 1... cmon yall). saved it tho so i could check it out anyway.

diverse enough that its never boring but theres nothing very noteworthy about it. techno breakbeats stuff that has a slight edge which is fun. one track extensively samples some movies pig squealing scene (iykyk) and at first it was uncomfortable but after like 4 min it just gets irritating.

3

Robbert Latumahina

Number Eleven (2000) [EP]

Freetekno

freetek grail this is super fun, cant wait to dig further into this guys stuff/scene

3.5

Fazer

Hyperspace (1992) [EP]

Acidcore

both tracks are fucking awesome. so much energy. dance floor essentials. i say both because they are, to quote discogs, "erroneously" mislabeled on the B side. otherwise its a straightforward great release

3.5

Acid Scout

Pot / Junkyard (1996) [Single]

Acid Techno, Detroit Techno

Industrial Techno, Ambient Techno, IDM

heavy, rhythmic, repetitive, urban, party

very lovely, though its not quite as exciting as his other singles. spaced out relaxing vibes though. im very excited to try both his albums

3

Biochip C.

Biochip C. E.P. (1992) [EP]

3

4D

Hidden / Mindsafari (1993) [Single]

Acidcore

Industrial Hardcore

noisy, instrumental, mechanical, aggressive, energetic

face melting stuff. goes crazy hard. first > second but both are great. love acid industrial merges like this

3.5

Neil Voss

Tetrisphere (1997) [Bootleg / Unauthorized]

Video Game Music, Atmospheric Drum and Bass, Acid Techno, Sequencer & Tracker, Techno

Breakbeat, IDM, Big Beat, Acid House, Acid Techno

forgot i saved this. i never played this game nor did i know it existed, regardless, as a listening experience its not bad. these are fully fleshed out tracks so it kind of just works as an impromptu album anyway.

fun breaks and nifty little acid lines. nothing to write home about but its good as background noise

3

Crimson Peak (2015)

birthday request - she loves del torro.

im not so big on his style though. very theatrical and kinda whimsical - i get the appeal, but the way he goes about building a landscape feels so... plastic to me. to quote my famous ass friend, "the proceeding images have no harmony."

i also just found the story to be really sloppy and mundane. whatever

the cool thing though is that its surprisingly gory. i forgot del toro moved like that

2.5

Various Artists

Rave 'Til Dawn (1992) [Compilation]

New Beat, Breakbeat Hardcore

girlfriends birthday today, so its a night on the town! we hit up a few half price books and got some food.

been wanting to buy techno comps and this was the perfect excuse. some overpriced, but this was a cheap find at the second store we visited.

its pretty boring, that era of super saturated looping chord breakbeat stuff that was actually so popular it made its way into just about every event where there was dancing in the 2000s (even elementary schools!). cant say im too fond of it, but theres fun breaks here that make it less of a slog to sit through. oh well, only 2$. weird idea for a cover too, thats kind of cool.

2.5

Freddie Fresh

Gnarl E.P. (1994) [EP]

3

X0001000X (2017) [EP]

Acid Techno

Acid Trance

rhythmic, hypnotic, instrumental, dense, repetitive

pretty fun. was skeptical at first of tapping into a post-2015 acid techno release but it sufficiently captures the energy im looking for in these.

3

Alaska

Deuxième EP (1995) [EP]

Acid Techno

Deep House

mellow, repetitive, surreal, sampling, nocturnal

quite alluring at first but lacks depth and longevity. still, the first track is a great moodpiece

Miami Bass, Mashup, Baltimore Club

Dabke, Jersey Club, Techno Bass, Plunderphonics, Memphis Rap

Downtempo Deathcore

heavy, existential, surreal, rain, sentimental

yeah i like it but its one of the weaker singles so far. still excited for the full thing

3

Ferrari (2023)

lovely. much better than i anticipated, but obviously not on par with his pre-2020s work. felt very relaxed in terms of his usual full throttle filmmaking, but it still had a good decisiveness that is typical of mann's style. really loved driver and cruz in this, and its interesting how mann dissects the family with this story. the facial brightening was insane, kinda hella fw it ngl.

after watching this we spent like an hour scrolling through crunchyroll and just talking about the titles

3.5

Venetian Snares

3

DJ Ratzki / Jan & Curley

3

Arzach

Arena / Rub It Out (1995) [EP]

Acid Techno, Dub Techno, Illbient

hypnotic, repetitive, rhythmic, psychedelic, suspenseful

Bass House, Riddim, Hybrid Trap, Complextro, Briddim, Tearout [Brostep], Trap [EDM]

energetic, complex, futuristic, noisy, instrumental

3.5

Space Laces

Vaultage 002 (2019) [DJ Mix]

Brostep, Complextro

Bass House, Riddim, Moombahcore, Hybrid Trap, Briddim

energetic, futuristic, complex, aggressive, sampling

much of the same but the biggest difference is the improvement in his sound design. also sometimes too silly

3

Space Laces

Vaultage 001 (2018) [DJ Mix]

Brostep, Complextro

Bass House, Moombahcore, Synthwave, Riddim, Briddim

energetic, epic, eclectic, aggressive, complex

for no reason at all ive decided to listen to all of these.

its got a handful of great drops but it suffers from kinda wonky transitions/sequencing and being a bit too unfocused.

3

Meshuggah

went with gf and frend.

Carcass and Cannibal Corpse opened for them.

missed about a song or two of Carcass' set but i dont really care. the only interesting section of their discography to me is their 80s goregrind, of which they played zero. the older dudes seemed to fucking love them - i guess im just not a death n roll guy.

CC's set wasnt much better but they had better personality and i can at least groove to it more. theyre all really old which is funny. they had good personality and presence the singer was funny. a few good riffs and they were a bit sloppy but it works for their sound i think

Shuggers set was obviously the highlight. much of the same set as the last time i saw them (still no chaospher 😢) but the key difference was LASERS!! felt like i was at edc that shitわ was so fucking cool. they also played bleed which is fire glad i got to see that live finally.

Blackhat (2015)

e

markedly different than the rest of Mann's "surveillance" trilogy; a distinct shift away from ultimatums - central to Blackhat is freedom. Mann understands the gravity of electronics. pulses. code. his CG sequences of data transfers and stock market sequencing and wire wars do a fantastic job at painting the otherworldy nature of the digital age: a world where one button press crashes economies, kills dozens, and alters the environment, the only way out is with duct tape and hardware.

"Maybe we can no longer fight capitalism...but we might be able to escape it."

building on themes explored in the other two films of this "trilogy", Mann finally fleshes out the surrogate family. it's a weirdly optimistic movie: picking up friends and allies along the way, people you know you can trust, people you care for. Mann still recognizes incompetence up the ladder: valiant efforts in the name of justice upheld by a chain of beuracratic decisions and legal bindings. no one at the top cares about anyone at the bottom, youre just numbers and words in a database to someone capabale of falling for key loggers. the swift reward for saving the day is treason and a lifetime of institutions.

so glad i got to rewatch this with friend

Venomous Urotoxic Asphyxiation of the Dying Flesh / Clogged Gastrostomy Tumour Fluid (2025)

Gorenoise

really loving how prolific VUA is moving this year, glad they arent just a one off here and there kind of project, and their vision only gets further and further distilled with each release. my only gripe is that they keep doing splits with these kind of mid artists! sorry, but also very clearly CGTF is just not even close to the level VUA's working on here. but i mean its not bad... i guess.. just like are really still doing surgery interview narratives in the big 25 💔

Dub Techno, Freetekno

feels like more nothing. i appreciate the wide and dark feel of the first track, but neither of them move me in any particular way.

2.5

Miami Vice (2006)

in low light settings the aperature must open wider to receive more information, but because of this any minor disturbances become noticeably exaggerated, large sections engrossed in amplified noise and crunching fuzz. reality is a distortion: everyone is working an angle - feds, interceptors, double crossers, cheaters, spies - and the only way to solve a problem is to put a bullet in its head. but love is stronger than any job. prerequisite to Public Enemies' focus on romance and surrogate families, Miami Vice deconstructs the idea of a "partner" and puts a gun to its head (literally). self destruction (Crocket) and delusion (Tubbs); mirrored parables asking to choose between your heart or the job you have to do - your self worth comes from the ability to perform a task only you can succeed in.

uncountably many important memorable moments.

Spunk

Blue (1995) [EP]

Techno

Acid Techno

gonna sift through all of acid orange's stuff cuz wainot.

first track is whatever; sounds like someones first serious attempt and recording a techno track. its got charm. the second track however is the real takeaway, which is unfortunate since its the corrupted and unmastered side that didnt make it to the bandcamp reissue. super pounding energetic stuff, love it

Acid Techno, Freetekno

instrumental

on this acid trip ive been itching to relisten to this guy and i just found out its on spotify for no reason at all lets goo.

as long as you have this cranked to the max it works so well, perhaps thats why i didnt enjoy it so much my first go around. first track is just a solid exercise in weirdo acid stuff, but the second track is where this really takes off, begins with this super offputting triplet groove painted in a very dark sound pallet, and then it gets super energetic. classy stuff. the last track im still whatever on, but its fine.

Acid Techno

a lot more chill than genocide. its fine

3

Public Enemies (2009)

if you still werent convinced that mann hates the government here you go. "i have never arrested anybody," a bereau founded on flaky justifications that exists just to continue to criminalize and punish. they arent even good at what they do.

also a movie grappling with evolution and the constant encroaching threat of becoming useless because no one needs you for the only job youre good at anymore. theres a super uncomfortable shift in atmosphere after Dillinger talks with the men in the call room, and markedly this begins the very long losing streak that continues up until the final frames.

the last 10 minutes were pure gold filmmaking. had my heart pounding, and the editing during Dillinger's movie is really impactful. some of mann's best visuals (the whole movie in general really).

nah but really ive been on the dj mindset recently and relistened to 2014s mix, got me curious about this one since i hadnt ever heard it even tho 2013 and 2014 were some of my fav releases as a kid.

lots of recognizable tracks if you were involved in this sphere or heard any of the previous mixes, but he does a good job keeping the pool pretty diverse and explorable once again. cant get over how boring the intro is compared to the other two ive heard, and on the real a lot of this is coworker as fuck (peanut butter jelly time dubstep remix is just ridiculous, and we seriously need to stop giving Messinian money). still its fun and theres some drops sprinkled throughout that im gonna have to steal for sure.

The Insider (1999)

the mannathon continues.

as per usual pacino steals the show but major hats off to crowe for his very solemn and intimidating work here.

if theres anything Mann understands its the working class american. what it means to answer to an unending chain of higher ups, to be the singular pillar of a family you love and to cherish the autonomy you think you have. the evil Wigand encounters is never actually given any real screen time - we see lawyers yes but its all just word of mouth and bureaucracy: letters and emails and court orders and agreements. in spite of the bustling underbelly of american capital culture and Mann's gritty paranoid texturization, its all very kafkaesque and insurmountable.

im not going to sit here and write about good or bad people - youll have to wait for fuckcomments entry if you want any of that - but it does boil down to, in its purest form, manipulators manipulating manipulators. its a circular ladder and we're all fucking over the guy behind us so we can keep going forward.

of note were the beach scenes and Crowe's final few hotel scenes, as well as any argument between Pacino and his CBS coworkers.

Ali (2001)

trekked over to bros house and we chilled this together.

massive vision culminating in a masterclass on filmmaking - lots of love, grit and detail in every crevice here. its been talked to death but i cant stress how important the opening 30 minutes are. during the fight the entire crowd is drowned in pure blackness - the stadium ceiling lights extending gridlike out into the universal horizon, and theres nothing but two fighters and a camera in the ring.

beautiful how mann perfectly translates Malcom and Ali's friendship: two men of abnormal strengths with backbones, love and a taste of freedom staring down the proverbial barrels their whole lives; Ali absorbs the posthumous Malcom and his purpose - you will die but i will live for you and i will carry you everywhere i walk.

i think it struggles a bit narratively in the last third, but it doesnt really matter. the last fight scene makes up for it.

Collateral (2004)

surprisingly more meditative and wobbly than i was expecting. mann does a fantastic job of building this world you want to explore forever and drawing out these deceptively deep and complex characters. cruise and foxx have amazing chemistry, and i cant get over how great this is shot.

"and i love when the lights go out in jada's building and theres shots where you cant see anything except the distant lights from the city vaguely outlining pillars and silhouettes"

i was supposed to listen to this in february on my ski trip, but i never got in the right mood for it.

fuckcomments actually recommended this to me during the phanaerozoic period, guess it took me a little bit longer than normal to get to it!

first track is kind of what i expected but more sparse at first. very sax abuse. second track steals the show - sounds so weird alien

Drop the Lime

Step It Up (2005) [EP]

Breakcore

oh yeah totally forgot to mention i played a show last night: my first live dj set! i actually duo'd with my close friend and it was super fun. we played last on a stacked cast of Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, nexttojackiekennedy and 3 other damn djs. even though the crowd was pretty thinned out by the time we got rolling they were loyal and exciting. unfortunately we accidentally cut our power twice but everyone still had fun and it was a great low stakes learning experience. i hope i can play with her again soon

anyway this is good and i bring allat up because this was kind of dj inspiring in some ways. just some cool sections here that would make for exciting transitions or whatever. cant say i loved the whole too much but its still nice

Presence (2024)

been mulling over this one for some time now, and im still not entirely sure how i want to write about it. soderbergh is in his fucking bag, operating with pure feeling and style. kind of annoying how bogged down this is by "INVENTIVE HORROR!" and "HAUNTED HOUSE!" promo/reception its been getting. some really soft moments, some really sour curdling ones too. i know one guy doesnt agree with me, but i see it as a coming of age film in a way. also reminded me a lot of shyamalan, the way soderbergh props up american family dynamics and peels back the flesh. holy ending

28 Weeks Later (2007)

not nearly as good as the original, but still an entertaining watch. introduces the "cure" but then does like nothjng with it... so weird. ig itll come into play this summer. hard to feel either which way about this, just kind of exists. feels analogous to Predators for this series (but not nearly as stylish). also american savior movie lol

2.5

28 Days Later (2002)

gf was in a zombie mood and the new one comes out this year so we started this.

on rewatch i def appreciate it a lot more. very inspiring camerawork - really heartfelt and creative stuff - and the editing is really nice too. it starts to get super uninteresting around the military compound section (and all the misogyny just makes it even more of a slog). cillian's he/him lesbian cut was so fucked up in this

Skrillex

F*ck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol But Ur Not!! <3 (2025)

Hybrid Trap, Brostep

Future Riddim, Future Bass

playful, energetic, party, humorous, rhythmic

the 2020s have been very important for skrillex's career, seeing both a revival and a reappraisal of his sound. while his electro upbringings were largely overlooked, and his innovations of festival edm were sorely misunderstood by more sophisticated audiences, post-Show Tracks sonny has garnered a lot of positive reception this decade. branching out to many different areas of electronic music, collaborating with a wide array of artists (Dylan Brady, Four Tet, PinkPantheress, Bladee, and Porter Robinson, just to name a few...), and pushing his already impeccable production and dj-ing abilities even further has helped reignite the mainstream and underground's respect for his work. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, Bangarang and Recess have all seen massively positive rating trends since 2019 and they continue to go up.

despite the ambivalent responses , the simple fact that he was able to drop two full lengths in 2023 (Quest for Fire and Don't Get Too Close) is worth major respect points. while i myself am not really a big fan of either, i have to admit that its impossible to ignore the influence and role they will play for mainstream electronic music moving forward. its clear that skrillex is operating on a whole other level of prolificity, and FUS signals that he has no plans to stop.

FUS throws everything at the wall and wastes no time. rivaling the ambitious double rollout of 2023's Quest... and Close..., FUS boasts no lead singles, very little pre-promo, and is, plainly, a continuous mix of snippets. while a couple of tracks on here (namely Ultra Intro and San Diego VIP) have had their full versions leaked and floating around for some time now, the rest are completely new tracks (with the exception of Voltage, which has been reworked here, but was originally made around 2012). there is also a lot of retrospection here. dedicated skrillex fans will recognize the Summit vocals, Leaving EP sample, and previously mentioned leaked tracks. on top of this, skrillex employs DJ Smokey's tongue-in-cheek callouts (perhaps the only downfall of this album (i personally think they ruin the longevity of it, even if they are funny)), and theres a lot of callbacks to older tracks/styles. Fricky VIP/Ultra Intro, for instance, reuse the LH4L from Fuji Opener, and tracks like Hold On, Mosquitotouille and DNB Ting hark back to the mid 2010s scene that sonny helped shape. Baby Royal also samples a vocal line from Sicko Mode, which skrillex remixed in 2018. all of this culminates in a simultaneously surprising, exciting, reflective and endearing mix of influences and inspirations.

with a strong love for the bass music culture that he helped develop, an honest sense of humor and the songwriting sincerity he has been showcasing since he started his career, FUS comes off as a heartwarming rose-tinted love letter to all of edm, and a promising peak into the second half of this decade's festival scene.

American Dreams (Lost and Found) (1984)

chill stuff. combines pop culture, hobbies/sport and politics into a very straightforward collage. i found the format to be just a bit ineffective for me though. feels like information overload, you never get a whole picture of anything, but maybe thats the point.

Slam Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal

Ambient, Electronic, Deathcore

heavy, surreal, rhythmic

just kidding. its slam saturday a day early.

really cool honestly, the electronic ambient gives a really unique and weird vibe to the whole thing (erhereal slam is back?!) and their sense of groove is really odd. loved it

3.5

Spiral Tribe

Sound of Teknival (1996) [Compilation]

Acidcore, Freetekno

its freetekno friday once again everyone.

controversy aside, its a decent mix, with a few tracks i even recognized! but a lot of the first third was kind of wotever.

The 15:17 to Paris (2018)

morning watch. did laundry.

looks nice, good editing. i like the very fine tuned portaut of american culture eastwood and co paint with the childhood flashbacks. feels kind of hyperlink the way it sets up the train scene lol. the ending cut to real news footage is genius

3

The Phoenix Tapes '97 (2016)

spontaneous watch with girlfriend.

3

Anorexic Beauty Queen

Together You and I Soar to the Moon (2004)

Emo-Pop

lovely and cute. way more acoustic than i expected (i actually thought it was gonna be like power electronics when i first saved it lol). you never truly get used to his vocals, but hes got some dope screams that he does far too little. a handful of standout bits of instrumentation and some nice choruses make this worth it

3

Pagan Black Metal, Dungeon Synth

pagan, winter, nocturnal, forest, melodic

a side is fine. good sense of melodies and its pretty intense. something happens on the b side that i cant quite grasp... but it all goes to shitわ for a majority of it. very odd. cold vibes

3

Intervalle Bizzare / Malignancy

Unexpected Awakening of Impassive Mass / Frailty of the Human Condition (2002)

Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal

i suppose malignancy does clear here but not by much, both artists do a fine job. the coolest bit to me though was IB's last track, a weird droning synth thing comes in that totally caught me off guard - this is the last place we thought we'd find funeral slam!

3

Barn Sour

One Trick Pony (2022)

Sound Collage, Experimental

Dark Ambient, Field Recordings, Sound Poetry

lo-fi, cryptic, surreal, disturbing, ominous

i guess i just dont get the hype. it was pretty interesting, but i dont know if it feels super unique. the beginning reminded me of some dave phillips, but a bit sparser and more atmospheric. the highlight for me was the end, with those chilling screams over the dark ambient piece. really uncomfortable...

pretty bad ass honestly. love how short and to the point these tracks are. great riffs, really exciting faster sections. i didnt listen to the bonus demo thing

3.5

Nettspend

me fuckcomments and my lil bro went to see nett and xav yesterday.

xavs set was chill. he clearly had more fun at floating world when there was more of his buddies on stage, he started off a bit awkward (and his mic was soo loud it was crazy 😭) but he found a good groove eventually. his dancing is nuts. i also realized that the patchmade synth is in like 10 different songs of his. its funny i think dj ren just picks and chooses what songs to play and xav sings along, at some point he asked "what song is next" lol

nett was dope. fuckcomments didnt like it but i thought the "tiktok" intros and outros to songs were kind of nice. he played a good amount of new and old. hes very photogenic. his new hair is chill. so many shirtless dudes it was gross as fuck.

i loved that the show ended before 12 that was really sick honestly

Curley

The Esoteric EP (1995) [EP]

Freetekno, Acid Techno

Industrial Techno

heavy, rhythmic, repetitive, nocturnal, party

ending the day with some freetek.

first disc is pretty solid, a more conventional but super energetic A side, and a really off kilter tempo changing B side. cool, but then the C side kind of exists and drags the whole thing down by just being boring? the D tracks just barely make up for it but not by much, neither are convincing enough on their own.

Complextro, Brostep

Drumstep, Moombahcore, Progressive House

energetic, party, rhythmic

randomly remembered this the other day and saved it.

i used to listen to whiskers and headshot a lot as a kid, and those are still the best tracks here. the others feel like kind of weak electro with brostep edge kind of songs, and theres a prog hau5 track in there for good measure too. meh.

urban, eclectic, nocturnal, female vocalist, cold

cleaning music.

kind of glad he didnt stick with this kind of sound.. its cool ig and theres probably lots of really interesting sound design things happening but its super boring. i thought all of the features felt either awkward or lifeless.

13 Lakes (2004)

its fucking beer and movie saturday with the friends so we all got in our comfiest clothes, sat around the coffee table, ordered two dominos pizzas and cracked open some dude-bro-sis-friend cans of coke, sat back and watched thirteen mother fucking lakes by the one and only J.B.

he gets a lot of variation in these shots, multiple thpes of climates and biomes. a couple of scenes feel oceanic; a real testament to the incredible scale of lakes from the human perspective. really curious human juxtapositions as well - jet skis, a yacht, hunting gunshots, the off screen railroad - a lot of his shots feel 3d, in the way that they force you to construct the rest of their worlds through your limited senses, to build your own interactive movie within your head. fascinating stuff.

Luminescent Creatures (2025)

Singer-Songwriter, Chamber Folk

New Age, Ambient, Nature Recordings

soft, ethereal, peaceful, female vocalist, atmospheric

in a similar vein to elliott smith, i also prefer her without all the extra gizmos and gadgets. its fine stuff but its just not what i like to hear from her. comfy i suppose. no individual songs stand out...

Ambient, Dream Pop, Ethereal Wave

New Age, Ethereal Wave, Post-Rock

Singer-Songwriter, Indie Pop

Chamber Pop, Indie Folk, Indie Rock

bittersweet, melancholic, melodic, male vocalist, alienation

honestly i really only like him when its just him and his guitar. i think all the bells and whistles here are nifty but they kind of take away from what i rly love about his music. still quite a few decent tracks but i doubt ill be thinking ab this too much after today

Mount Eerie

Indie Folk, Singer-Songwriter

Avant-Folk, Indie Rock

death, love, introspective, melancholic, male vocalist

not sure where to start. obviously touching, lyrically. you gotta be inhuman not to feel anything, especially with how plainly literal a lot of this is. its always wonderful when the drums come in. the skrillex name drop was crazy.

thanks for the rec fuckcomments

Pop Rock, Experimental Rock

Beat, Girl Group, Experimental Rock

Nu Metal, Sludge Metal

Atmospheric Sludge Metal, Post-Hardcore, Avant-Garde Metal

heavy, dark, dissonant, aggressive, male vocalist

dont let the 3* fool you, this might be a masterpiece in its own right. really unique blend of genres, very singular in its vision and execution. im not sure how much im going to think about this from now on, but i can see the score being bumped if i come back enough. my gf might like this, so maybe if she plays it enough for me.

Quarantine (2008)

a bit less focused and a lot less effective than the original. also the fucking cameraman... why are you zooming in so much... just doesnt even make sense sometimes. ending was also not as good as the og. but its meme

Harsh Noise Wall

Harsh Noise

god took over 3 years to sit down and actually listen through all of it but i finally did over the past few days. i regret not doing it sooner! this is one of the most entertaining and exciting wall releases ever - basically the perfect longform noise piece. way more dynamic and progressive than i expected (i would maybe explain why, but ill leave that up to the other listeners 😉). its definitely very digital but xoark is still able to get a lot of satisfying movement out of the limitations. rly one of the awesomest listening experiences ever. weirdly super violent at times

Danny L Harle

Harlecore (2021)

Hard Dance

Euro Trance, UK Hardcore, Bubblegum Bass, Jumpstyle, New Age

playful, energetic, party, female vocalist, happy

weighed down by the mc boing tracks and the ambient tracks. also the concept is just really gay lol. the dj danny ones were usually good. a bit too long

2.5

STAYC

K-Pop, Contemporary R&B, Alt-Pop, Electronic

Pop Rap, Alternative R&B, Trap [EDM]

eclectic, progressive, female vocalist, boastful, energetic

might as well right.

the fact that its bolded is just ridiculous. i know it wont be for long but cmon yall we cannot be that starved.

its definitely the most consistent fe3o4 so far but with the least amount of highlights. bits and pieces of every song were good but on the whole it felt super forgettable. ocean was njce though

2.5

Drrty Pharms

D℞℞TY'$ PHA℞MA¢Y (2012)

Witch House, Cloud Rap

another close friend of mine (who i will doxx in a future entry) recommended me this.

its actually pretty good in a few spots. its super amateur just kind of messing around - very low effort vocal performances - but on the instrumentals its honestly really charming. i think if it was just those this'd be a higher score

3

Johns

Mating Calls (2018) [EP]

Pop Rap, Contemporary R&B

Emo Rap, Miami Bass

hedonism, apathetic, sensual, rhythmic, longing

a close friend of mine (that i wont name here for privacy reasons) really likes this album and suggested i check it out.

i cant say i feel the same; i dont think its bad but i just dont really see the appeal. i suppose its smooth and theres a weird vulnerability here that kind of shines through the hypersexual lyricism. the instrumentals felt bland to me but i think they do paint a very soft and tender atmosphere.

i never realized how linked up wolfe and delcada were

both tracks were great but fake check was my fav. really really solid two fer

3.5

Thirteen Lives (2022)

been meaning to watch for so long. its a really bwautiful story so i was pretty excited to see how they play it out.

looks really good and was definitely very tense. you get a real good sense for how (unfortunately) beurocratic things like this are, kind of reminded me of shin godzilla in that way. lol. i wish it was even heavier on the actual diving bits, theres lots of understandable time skips but its just insane that the entire dive round trip is 10 fuckin hours. no wonder it was a logistical nightmare. loved viggo and joel in this; really heartwarming ending

3.5

Nettspend

Impact (2025) [Single]

Lowend, Cloud Rap, Jerk

i see the vision, def potential. felt like hydroencephalo without distortion. the instruments need to be crazier

3

Torturing Nurse

Junkyisuzu (2004)

Harsh Noise

first track was cool, kinda inspo just feedback and somd vocals love that. second one is fine but it doesnt really add on to the ideas from the first, makes this release a bit too long for its own good.

3

kynlary

Pbs (2025)

PluggnB

chaotic, dense, melodic

i cant get into his vocals at all. the beats are also like whatever plugg stuff idk they didnt help. last track was awesome tho. cover looks like some true crime

2.5

Paniek

Atlantikwall (2016)

Harsh Noise Wall

Ambient Noise Wall

lamo recommended this to me like a billion years ago just now getting to it <3 sry

really amazing stuff though felt like the shortest 6 hours ever. very very slow moving but theres a lot of different progressions throughout the whole thing. every track has its own unique identity. could probably do an entry for each one if you wanted to. perfect relaxing textures. the ending was beautiful too

3.5

TxLxFxSxDxSxPxExDxH

Cadavers Engulfed in Toxic White Mushrooms on Them Found in the Play-Area of a Park (2025)

the least exciting of them all but still fun. i think a > b

アンモナイトのささやきを聞いた [I’ve Heard the Ammonite Murmur] (1992)

basically just gorgeous cinematography slop. yeah its all suoer pretty but its like nothing works as a full length movie. as my hro would say. the images have no harmony. or whatever. wish it tapped into actual geology but its just like some japanese metaphor i guess. incest

2.5

Necrotik Fissure

 (2022)

Harsh Noise Wall

all done with this one, onto more long!

cover is one of his best and one of the best ever, so i rly wanted to love this but in classic nf fashion most of this is just okay. admittedly its not all the best textures, i cant wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone, but theres a good handful of tracks on here that are so mind numbing and meditative for me. i think a big draw for me to NF albums like this is how (and i hate to reuse the word) lulling some of the textures can be. he has this tendency to catch me off guard and then slowly over the hour and some change of runtime pull me closer and closer until ive fallen forever down this bottomless chasm and theres no more light or direction.

3

Ten Skies (Erika Balsom)

my good buddy informed me of this a few weeks back and i bought it pretty quickly. it arrived just after i finished A Darker Electricity which was perfect.

major ups to Balsom for even being able to write this much about Ten Skies. its only 150ish pages (and very very small ones at that), but the scope of her essay is still really impressive. so informed, amazingly well researched and dissected. everything from the beginning of moving images to performance art to video essays to youtube compression. eloquently written, she has a penchant for hypnotic and lulling passages.

i think i really loved reading this because i basically just got to rewatch the movje in my brain the whole tjme

Spiral Tribe

Spiral Tribe (1994) [DJ Mix]

Freetekno

i was unaware until now that Spiral Tribe is actually the second cassette in a 3 part series from SP, so might as well listen to the other two!

more medium tempo stuff, very acid, but its chill. the first side i wasnt crazy fw but its back to party business on the second.

what better way to ride the high of finishing up the spiral tribe literature than with... spiral tribe mixes! well just one today but more later. its freetekno friday!

super bouncy super fun exactly what im looking for in freetek stuff. dark, acid, future, slicing... so dope.

also realized that the sides of the tape dont have proper outros because the length of the tape might end, but the party doesnt!

its whatever. potential. i never cared to look into this artist because they were kind of annoying whenevrr we were in xoarkcord together. also ive heard evil things about them...

but also i just dont care alot about the atmodnb scene these days aside from some standouts.

i kind of want to remix this i bet i could

2.5

A Darker Electricity: The Origins of the Spiral Tribe Sound System

FINALLY finished this one (which i started in JANUARY). great read, honestly just a lazy guy when it comes to these really lengthy novels that arent IMMEDIATELY gripping.

inspiring stuff. a lot more focused on the people rather than the music (which makes sense; its an origin story...) (theres almost no writing about the music at all really, you dont even find out whose alias is whose until the second to last page!). but i didnt mind that necessarily. its a distant era/scene that i could never know anything about, im grateful mark actually put this together (so recently too), i cant imagine the freetek literature demand is too high these days. its kind of gay acid-shrooms-enlightenment at times but its charming nonetheless. the police angle is fucked. why are they so mean. oh yeah because THEY HATE FUN! well let me tell you this: you may have stopped the party... BUT YOU CANT STOP THE FUTURE!!!

another lovely spring break day. yesterday was nice, too, even though i had to work. we spent the whole day doing chores which honestly felt nice. it was a really fulfilling day. today was all about reaping the benefits. we hung out with some friends and got a seafood boil - which we bouth thought was kjnd of overrated and way too expensive - but it was still fun. the weather is starting to get hotter, my beautiful spring wont last much longer...

Шумоизоляция [Shumoizolyatsiya]

Разнообразие однообразия (2024) [Compilation]

Harsh Noise Wall

spent the last week or so hammering away at this.

pretty much exactly what it says in the description, just a fuck ton of drafts from 2024 that never got their own independent releases (i think...). drafts they certainly are: a lot of these tracks are very very similar to eachother - its quite a monolithic listen! - and very few are standoutish enough to warrant repeated visits or even any kind of memory allocation (a handful of anw tracks almost make this totally worth it). that said, its still decent texture work and something i appreciate about dyadya's style is that its never grating - he seems to always ride a fine line of harsh yet mellow.

Pharoah Sanders

Love in Us All (1974)

Spiritual Jazz, Free Jazz

love, avant-garde, spiritual, improvisation, passionate

this dude i hate told me to listen to this but i was in a good mood so i was like eh why not.

pretty awesome stuff. love is every damn where. the second track beginning sounded kinda sinister but ig thats just how i hear that crazy horn stuff. one of the best covers

3.5

Gothlovee

Four Bloody Walls (2023) [EP]

sooo corny but ig i expected that w the title and artist whatnot. its fun though. a bit too on the nose but its some proper scene revival. my gf would probably like this more than i do

f5ve

Magic Clock (2025) [Single]

J-Pop, Dance-Pop, Electropop, Bubblegum Bass

Future House, Bitpop

female vocalist, longing, rhythmic, happy, melodic

yay they still havent missed and this song is soo candy sweet sounds a lot like sophie/the music my friend makes

3.5

YHWH Nailgun

No Midwife and I Wingflap (2022) [EP]

Experimental Rock, Noise Rock, Neo-Psychedelia

Industrial Rock, Post-Industrial, Math Rock

dissonant, male vocalist, uncommon time signatures, abstract, noisy

really cool. pretty exciting. drums sound awesome as fuck. growing on his vocals.

3.5

Sergey Pakhomov

Whaler (2018)

Ambient Noise Wall, Field Recordings

noisy, instrumental, dense, ominous, mysterious

very gorgeous, so textured and detailed. really does feel like youre whaling /gen

3.5

The Visit (2015)

our final V movie of tha night. he wanted to rewatch it.

never really noticed how beautiful a lot of the cinematography is. also the whole twist is just so fucked up like really put yourself in their moms shoes shits twisted and evil. bro knows how to test the fucking family. shits funnier than i remember too

3.5

La double vie de Véronique [The Double Life of Veronique] (1991)

kieslowski... quit playin with the damn image!

the fromt half is loaded with this insane onslaught of some of the most inspired and imaginative shots ever, lots of beautiful composition and filled to the brim with color theory. really unique and super lovely low fantasy story. it kind of comes to a grinding halt like 2/3rds in and gets very very slow and honestly pretty boring during its last leg. kieslowski takes his sweet ass time wrapping up what should realistically have been 20 minutes shorter than the current final product. no matter, doesnt take away from the amazing majority of the film.

3.5

A History of Violence (2005)

and so the rockcomments triple feature begins.

some truth to what they say about cronenbergs best being his character studies (i still always have a spot in my heart for his horror<3). some real visceral family drama here. despite it being the inverse concept of Eastern Promises it lands so much more effectively. watching the family drama play out reminded me of shyamalan and Juror #2.

kind of interesting how this is shot in like an 80s style.

3.5

Nascitari

Tanatoxina (2011)

Harsh Noise Wall

depressive, noisy, suicide, androgynous vocals

very sandpaper hurts. a lot of exciting surprises. no spoilers here though...

feels like a really impressive live performance

3.5

Mania

Insidious and Alone (2010) [EP]

Harsh Noise

Power Electronics

violent highs but it meanders a bit much for me towards the end. amazing cover

3

Nicole 12

First Dance of the Spring (2011) [EP]

Power Electronics

its interesting how much emotion hes able to pull out of ideas like this, i think thats what keeps this above water for me. really rotten-fruit sad.

lovely. some classic sounding mack. beat makes me smile

3.5

Pain (2025) [Mixtape]

Experimental Hip Hop, Trap

Rage, Chicago Drill, Digicore, Industrial Hip Hop

avant-garde, noisy, energetic, chaotic, gore

exciting but unfortunately its not the tape we deserved. its consistent and its fun but theres only a handful of 22-24 type tracks; its surprisingly laid back and intelligible. cover sucks a lot honestly. some inventive beats.

march 11

im on spring break this week so i dont have classes, but my girlfriend does (different colleges). i joined her and explored her campus, read and chilled while she was in class. the weather is finally lovely again. its too windy to read outside but its sunny enough that im just as happy inside. almost done with A Darker Electricity... later today i will watch movies with my friend freecommas

my computer is starting to really get old - the usb ports keep fucking up and wont detect anything. apparently its a motherboard issue which scares me. and my check engine light finally came on today. which is awesome... not.

Necrotik Fissure

 (2021)

Harsh Noise Wall

fucked isolating nothing sensory deprivation mist and ghosts

the first two are some of my fav nfs. the third holds this back as its some chhhh. fourth is good.

3.5

Pillar of Wasps

A Collective Hallucination (2023)

Mathcore

Deathcore, Cybergrind, Djent

heavy, aggressive, dissonant, chaotic, dense

another band weve played with before. i actually ended up having to leave the show early and i didnt get to see PoW's set (major regret on my end).

its pretty fun super crushing locust frontierer vibe stuff, love the 808s and the drummer is ridiculously wild. another band today that makes lots of fun silly guitar noises (and synths?). i dont like how the vocals are mixed though, sounds very dry. and i also do not like the lyrics. but ig thats the least important part of this. super loud. hope we can get a bill together again soon

3

YHWH Nailgun

YHWH Nailgun (2022) [EP]

Experimental Rock, Math Rock

Post-Industrial, Industrial Rock, Art Punk, Post-Punk

noisy, hypnotic, dissonant, rhythmic, male vocalist

while watching Open Head my guitarist reminded me of this band, ig there is some similarities, but yhwh is a lot less conventional and melodic. also a bit more frantic.

its cool stuff but like OH i wish it had more exciting climaxes. the little guitar noises they do are really fun though. his vocals are interesting. excited for the new album

we were actually supposed to play with these guys too, like a year or two ago? for some sxsw thing, but they had to cancel on their end of the bill due to someone being sick or whatnot. sucks

3

Open Head

What Is Success (2025)

Noise Rock, Post-Punk

Experimental Rock, Art Punk

dissonant, noisy, rhythmic, male vocalist, hypnotic

this entry and the next are technically in reverse order, this will make more sense narratively so bear with me.

the show we played last night was with this band, Brain Sweat, Big Girl and Bobo. i only caught the tail end of Bobo's set but it was pretty good. classic denton weirdo rock (no thanks to the all star lineup) with enough personality that it stands out even in that crowd. Big Girl was touring with Open Head from NY. the former did some interesting very narrative monologueing dance punk stuff which isnt really my thing but was entertaining to watch (they have a fun drummer). the latter was ridiculous. two computers... they had two whole macs out during their set! and at one point there was live delay on the snare?? very exciting to watch, really unique.

i have to say though, it doesnt quite translate as well in a recording. just my personal take though. it still sounds really solid and is quite inventive, but i wish there were more exciting climaxes and stronger sections. lots of potential though, very curious to see where they go. House sounds like death grips im sorry

toe

The Book About My Idle Plot on a Vague Anxiety (2005)

Math Rock, Post-Rock

Midwest Emo

instrumental, rhythmic, technical, calm, atmospheric

for reasons i seriously cannot disclose here (signed NDA + under oath + iykyk + code of honor) i was reminded about this this morning and i listened to it before going to work.

fuck my life man why is this so boring. im just super over the midwest emo guitar tone and this feels like it has no flare whatsoever to justify that to me. yes the drummer is pretty damn good but he's unfortunately trapped in an endless angular twinkly prison

march 11

i want to start writing more about what im doing and not just about the music im listening to. a bit of a return to form kind of thing if youre a long time diary head. i think for the past couple years or so ive been numbed by routine and my outlook has been less and less excitable. recently ive seen an upturn on that though and life is beginning to have color again, it feels like theres a nice healing resonance all around me.

today i went to the gym, we finally are grtting back into the routine after the huge hiatus last year which is nice. afterwards we got lunch and chipotle. i just ate chips and queso becuase i fucking love their chips and queso. we took a really nice walk in the park by our apartments, which we for some reason had never visited until today in our almost year long residency here. the weather was perfect for it, and it was serenely quiet once we got deep enough into the trail. we caught several beatles getting it on 📸

The Grasshopper Lies Heavy

A Cult That Worships a God of Death (2021)

Noise Rock, Sludge Metal

Post-Hardcore, Atmospheric Sludge Metal

heavy, raw, male vocalist

played a show (which i will touch on later) and someone was allegedly playing this as house music between sets.

well either they lied or i cant find whatever song by these guys it was but this was boring as fuck which is sad because whatever i heard at the show sounded like a more tech-mathy black sheep wall with their kino screamz vocals and the most ripping 4hz bass tone. this is not that though. super uninteresting meandering brief glimpses of brutal genius but it just sputters out most of the time.

2.5

God Speed You Black Emperor!

All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling (1994)

Experimental Rock, Noise Rock

Tape Music, Sound Collage, Noise, Avant-Folk, Spoken Word, Post-Rock, Slacker Rock

lo-fi, avant-garde, noisy, eclectic, surreal

just going through old bandcamp saves. finally getting around to this. where were you when ALFOTHAD leaked...

super cool this is available now but i totally see why they were not tryna drop. really boring and very amateurish experimenting whatever. basically sounds nothing like gybe (except the weirdo dark atmosphere similar to f#?). felt like a really really long improv set where everyone on stage was drunk and for some reason half of them had costumes on and the other half were wearing khakis. iykyk. there are some nice strumming riffs though.

2.5

Untrance

Deleted Seniors (2011)

Freeform Hardcore, Freetekno

Hard Trance, Happy Hardcore, Chopped and Screwed, Bouncy Techno, Plunderphonics

lo-fi, surreal, noisy, atmospheric, psychedelic

a bit skeptical going in... esp with the proto-hexd trance shit.. but its fine. some good ideas and occasionally pretty fun but it does too much experimentaling that ruins its momentum.

Eliane Radigue

Feedback Works 1969-1970 (2012)

Éloge de l'amour [In Praise of Love] (2001)

watched this morning while chilling. gonna try to get through the rest of his post-2000s late films later this month or year

think ill never be able to fully appreciate his style just because it feels like theres so much to unpack. the first hour seemed to kind of drag on but those last 30 minutes were really inspiring. beautiful over saturation and image transpositioning; amazing camera work and different shots and stuff. i like the soundtrack a lot

3

twothousand5 & Lamo

Ghost Mountain

October Country (2025) [Mixtape]

Witch House, Emo Rap

Synthpop, Darkwave, Cloud Rap, Trap, Wave, Post-Punk

autumn, forest, male vocalist, melancholic, ethereal

quite ambivalating. i dont mind the very hard wicca/peep/salem biting, but a lot of these songs are really ugly "punk" drum doubletime beats and i just cant stand hearing that. it feels like a weird instagram remix idea. on the other hand i love his vocals on all of these, and especially on the traditional halftime ones (levlar, lake, stalks, moulder to an extent, and damien). the features are fine. perhaps the best outcome of gm coming back (aside from more gm) is sem actually putting in some effort and emotion into his verses. love whatever is going on in damien.

ill be listening back over the next few days, but i cant imagine this being any higher with all the dumb ass beats.

3.5

BNSF (2013)

a bit of a laid back night watch. did some laundry. ate a burrito. i love the imbetween time waiting for the train to come back, its quiet and meditative. a reminder that so much of our world is vast empty transition-space, where things simply pass through. the ending is particularly beautiful, as the sky turns a gorgeous pink-blue when the sun begins to set off screen.

its a good comp with half of the tracks im familiar w and the other half new to me. the leaks are good except i cant stand yurms. highkey jack biased here i think david only has a small few solos. weird they didnt include pressure or kiss my own dick or battlebus or a few others but w/e i have my own comp for a reason

standout eps for me are 1 (best), 3, 5, 6 and 9.

Plugg

Emo Rap, Horrorcore, Jerk, Witch House

alienation, self-hatred, breakup, angry, drugs

a step in the right direction for sure. im not a fan of oxycodone but i enjoyed most of heart so pure. i like him getting a bit silly with vocals. good mixing and beat as well. i also like the cover, makes me think of Yes I Smoke Crack

Swollen

The Breathless Waiting (1996) [EP]

Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal

heavy, dark, aggressive, noisy, technical

the final listen on the day of many listens.

super exciting classick sojnding bdm - you cant beat late 90s mixing like this. violent but very articulate. i love the synths in the last track - some real funeral slam vibes!

3.5

David Shawty

Mouth (2023) [Single]

Digicore

Experimental Hip Hop

Free Improvisation

Noise, Ritual Ambient, Post-Minimalism, Post-Rock

noisy, chaotic, dissonant, avant-garde, atonal

rly wild and sounds like nothing ive heard before. the vocals are ridiculous, especially when they are going off at the same time as the bird calls. crazy. kind of falls off in the seconf half for me though and gets a bit boring but its still overall very cool

Active Stenosis

Succumbed to Infection (2015)

Goregrind

heavy, aggressive, mechanical, male vocalist, violence

somd of the best goregrind that has graced my ears in a long time. beautiful stuff. the vocals are really good, and its really interesting that i can sometimes actually make out some kind of flow and delivery. top notch programming. the best

3.5

Wormed

Floating Cadaver in the Monochrome (1999) [Additional release]

Brutal Death Metal

Technical Death Metal, Slam Death Metal

heavy, science fiction, aggressive, punchy, chaotic

kind of not rly at all like their main body of work but its super cool in its own right. has hints of the wild structuring they would go on to explore. really really fun stuff

3.5

Drowning in Formaldehyde

Nightmares and Seroquel (2023)

Slam Death Metal

Deathcore

so stupid they kept doing meme slam stuff but then some of these breakdowns are just filthy and ridiculous. great mixing honestly

Anal Birth / Urinary Tract Infection From Severe Pus Clots

Anal Birth / Urinary Tract Infection From Severe Pus Clots (2024)

Gorenoise

the two biggest names in all of gorenoise drop a massive split in the year 2024 and its... just okay.

for whatever reason it feels like neither party really brought their A-game, especially AB who's side just kinda starts then ends. i liked UTI's side more, some actual songwriting qualities make it stand out. but overall this was kind of meh

Left-Handed Memories (1989)

and then the very final watch to finish off the epic fuck comments rock timents night of laments.

im gonna be honesg i dont remember too much about this other than it didnt move me too much. its probably good though

na

怨廻 [Onne] (2006)

last full length of the night. me and bro got this file like 2 or maybe even 3? years back and hadnt gotten around to it until now.

hella potential but just so fucking boring. i like the chamber aspect and its got the vibes of a great early internet movie but cant capitalize on any of its rights.

had some incomparable laughs during this one. mclunky forever

2.5

Ten Skies (2004)

no words, sorry.

it is really lovely to me how hes still able to capture the human-nature juxtaposition even in the confines of such a distant and bare theme.

4

From the Notebook of... (1972)

the rip of this looked absolutely beautiful probably the most perfectly preserved film ever for some reason.

lots of really interesting and unique play with geometry, form and composition. it became apparent early on that there wasnt going to be a lot of time to read the notes on screen so i just stopped trying, but i do wonder about them in retrospect. i like the shots playing with colored bars and rectangles. also all the shots of the film being made. maybe too much penis though

3.5

Hours for Jerome (1982)

really lovely editing. was not expecting the ridiculous strobing flowers though. some of this is kind of silly though like recordings of people just driving or just walking through the street. was probably annoying as fuck living near these dudes

3

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)

fucking crazy. first of all those fucking strobe light sequences were insane genuinely hurt my eyes i was tearing up sitting through those.

love how little it tries to explain, you just kind of go with this dude and accept that he has to be bad ass and slow mo kill all these other bad ass dudes trying to slow mo kill him. definitely a bit confusing but who fucking cares. the production value looks so crazy

3.5

Anticipation of the Night (1958)

beautiful looping memory sequences. your backyard is so beautiful. the way light paints the door is perfect.

quite tame in terms of editing, for brakhage i mean. i think its nice that its mostly just footage and not his usual paint stuff. not that i dont like that its just cool to see him work outside of that. i like the trees. suicide 🤯

3.5

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2016)

the rockhoovian night of movies begins.

ambitious and crazy. im honestly not a huge fan of the higher frame rate but its cool to see people trying new things. perhaps theres a 120fps movie for me somewhere in the future. the editing is awesome, especially in one particular sequence near the end. i like kristen stewart

DJ GYROTTA ZAO

LARD (2022) [EP]

Sound Collage, Jumpstyle, Hardcore [EDM]

Dark Ambient, Hardstyle, Impressionism, Industrial Hardcore, Jumpstyle

dark, scary, avant-garde, disturbing, sampling

boring whatever. theres potential though. needs to be a bit more focused

2.5

Ushinawareta Tamashī

Shin'en (2017)

Ambient Noise Wall, Lowercase

Drone

aquatic, repetitive, calm, meditative, soothing

beautiful. laying down on a lake of ice and listening to your reflection scratch underneath the surface. wind above you softly whistling. i do wish i could just make it louder though

3.5

Dj Ninja Love Mistake

Early lolicore worx (2010)

Lolicore

rhythmic, sampling, energetic, noisy

its got good moments but theyre scattered all throughout this really boring whatever nonsense. im sure hes got a decent full track somewhere

2.5

Jackzebra

Above & Beyond (2025) [Mixtape]

Plugg, Cloud Rap

Experimental Hip Hop, Ambient Plugg, Trap

eclectic, nocturnal, psychedelic, calm, melodic

bro is always working. lovely that we got another hour+ tape from him so soon after 王中王 [King of Kings], and hes apparently got another 2025 album scheduled?

really dug the first half. just some classick zebra. he also dips into rage its nice. the second half is way more experimental though, hes raping over all these ambient nod-ish beats and just generally weird instrumentals. its cool that hes experimenting and doing new stuff but honestly it got pretty boring as it went on. probably could grow with relistens though

Various Artists

Selections From the Sewer Vol. 3 (2024) [Compilation]

Gorenoise

figured i may as well just knock out the third one while i have time. i really hope he continues to do these compilations in the future, its a great way to make his older lost releases more accessible

really enjoyed the ganglio and macro tracks. pisswhore sucked.

Dr Pepper Blackberry

did one a few years back for their Dark Berry flavor, seemed only fitting to bring this back for the new blackberry one.

i definitely dont love it as much as dark berry, or maybe even regular DP for that matter (its hard to say, sometimes im not in the mood for something berry, sometimes i want something berry!) but its definitely one of my fav new sodas ive had in recent times. maintains the classic integrity of the og DP flavor while bringing just enough berry that it can stand on its own. still pretty dark too. the only qualm i really have with this flavor is that it can just get boring to drink after a while. not sure id recommend a 12pack unless you really love the taste, but i prefer cans over bottles so woe is me i guess.

measuring change (2016)

capping the night off with the companion piece to Casting a Glance.

i wish there was a dedicated archive to hosting benning's work, because so much of the magic is lost in lower quality reuploads. especially his very static works, theres so much compression sometimes its just tragic. it does add this really unique layer to the viewing though, watching the small pixel-people stutter and artifact. not the experience i intended to have but im making the most of what ive got.

doing my best to ignore the shortcomings of 360p reups this is a very meditative and relaxing watch. very lovely just to see how the sun and clouds change over such small courses. also great to see more people with the sculpture - it helps to give scale.

na until i watch a higher quality version

Damien De Coene

Churchgoer (2019)

Drone

Ambient, Ambient Noise Wall

distant and lonely. the last several tracks felt amazing. i want to come back to this and see if i enjoy it any more

Dahmer

Dahmer (1996) [EP]

Grindcore, Mincecore

Goregrind

violence, manic, energetic

really noisy and fucked. very violent. perfect length. awesome

3.5

Genophobic Perversion

In Mere Moments… Gone (2025)

Gorenoise

opens really strongly, i love the drums a lot sounds like Pup Samsara inspired its cool. unfortunately kinda falls off in the second half and gets a bit boring. gp should keep exploring this sound!

3

goreshit / Dj Ninja Love Mistake

Goreshit & DJ Ninja Love Mistake Split (2008)

Lolicore, Plunderphonics, Power Noise, Noise

Gabber, Speedcore, Sound Collage

dissonant, sampling, lo-fi, rhythmic, noisy

for whatever reason the youtube upload i watched of this alternates the tracks between each side. very weird choice but it lowkey works.

pretty good goreshit side held back by a weak DJNLM side. classic goreshit trax here, great early lolicore roughness, some inventive sample flipping as well. DJs side is definitely interesting and as far as lolicore sound collage artists go its in the higher tiers, but the tracks are far too long and far too boring to warrant any repeat listens.

3

Kevin Drumm

Sheer Hellish Miasma II (2025)

Harsh Noise Wall

Drone

infernal, noisy, dense, apocalyptic, instrumental

was super excited about this and while its definitely really unique and interesting its just not super great in my opinion. its cool to see him continue to work in the wall space, i imagine this is something he'll continue to explore in future releases. the textures here are very odd but reward attentive listening, i just dont know how much i actually enjoyed them.

3

Casting a Glance (2007)

decided to spend some time today getting back into the benning grind. hopefully in the next week or so, BNSF?

the fastest paced benning joint ive seen so far, might as well be an action movie as far as he goes. dozens of striking shots; he captures sound really excellently and it helps to create this really serene experience. super interesting watching this area change over the seasons - a brand new aspect becomes the most beautiful part of the sculpture for every new visit. particularly love the shots with faint music. not sure what all the WHEE!!!s were about but im glad you were having fun bro

3.5

Milk (2008)

its an acting movie. if you like strong precision performances you'll like it.

none of Milk is what draws me to Gus as a director. style is here, sure. i suppose it looks decent and there are plenty of interesting flares of artistry that crop up throughout the runtime, but it lacks the subtleties and underspoken, transcendent and impactful qualities that his previous 4 movies had. i think he should stick to the non-narrative things instead.

2.5

Brève traversée [Brief Crossing] (2001)

quiet, slow, subtle. warmth under the blanket and then splashed with ice water.

a thin slice through the intersection of two lost confused lives. crushing - its maybe a bit ridiculous to say but it feels like the audience itself was groomed. a young boy with his head in his pants takes advantage of the emotionally vulnerable, recently divorced english woman, he has no regard for her feelings, no regard for romance; his goals are simple and bestial - like all men. manipulated to think hes the force shes fighting against; to think hes the antagonist - our simple-minded animal in heat.

so cold.

Chó Phú Quốc

Chân trời mới (2024) [EP]

Cloud Rap, Trap

Plugg, Indietronica, Experimental Hip Hop, PluggnB

ethereal, chaotic, dense, longing, melancholic

very obviously of the post-gecs/jane remover rave-meets-cloudrap sound of the early 20s but is still doing enough with those concepts that it stays engaging. would be interested to see where this artist continues

Sonny Moore

Glitch Pop, Indietronica

Singer-Songwriter, Art Pop, Breakbeat, Emo-Pop, Acoustic Rock

Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal

Post-Hardcore, Metalcore, Emo

Jerk

Cloud Rap, Lowend, Experimental Hip Hop

male vocalist, rhythmic, surreal, drugs, boastful

not bad but it kinda just flies by. feel like songs lacked identity

3

The Conspiracy (2012)

very predictable and doesnt really do much of anything. the ritual process was kind of unnerving? certainly thrilling in some ways, but it definitely feels held back. its annoying how the decided to end it - if this was framed as a found footage deal primarily instead of a mockumentary the ending couldve been much more interesting. really didnt care about a good chunk of the setup as well. ig its supposed to show his character development going from sane to craxy or whatever

2.5

Carnifex

Until I Feel Nothing (2011)

Deathcore

Melodic Death Metal, Melodic Black Metal

death, dark, heavy, male vocalist, anti-religious

now deathcore.

opens with some ball busting awesome breakdowns but is largely homogenous and not too exciting. still good to chill to

3

Rotten Sound

Exit (2005)

Grindcore

Deathgrind

aggressive, angry, conscious, energetic, heavy

driving around doing errands today. listening to grind. thinking about isomorphic cyclic subgroups of high-order highly-divisible abelian groups and their direct products.

this is pretty damn good. major step up from the album prior. perfect production - exactly what you want in a grindcore album, a slough of filthy riffs and disgusting breakdowns, and some serious flurrying drums. dig the aesthetic as well. gonna be revisiting fs

3.5

Oh, Canada (2024)

really interesting. i can def see why this wouldnt land with audiences (if master gardener is that low then theres no way this is passing it up) but i found it really enjoyable. gere delivers like crazy here, and im a huge fan of the editing and storyline stuff. coming to grips with the terrible life youve lead in spite of whatever influence and legacy you'll leave behind. very subtle at times. biggest complaint is how it looks during the flashbacks of his younger self but im sure its a stylistic choice - it looks great everywhere else.

3.5

Tread, Chopped and Screwed, Chicago Drill

dense, hypnotic, psychedelic, drugs, male vocalist

3.5 for now

Chief Keef

Ottopsy (2018) [EP]

Chicago Drill, Trap

Art Pop, Neoperreo

Alternative R&B, Latin Electronic, Flamenco nuevo, Deconstructed Club, Reggaetón

eclectic, female vocalist, quirky, passionate, playful

3

aTelecine

...And Six Dark Hours Pass (2010)

Dark Ambient, Drone

Noise, Experimental

sasha grey noise. its interesting. sometimes eerie and other times relaxing. weird loops.

3

Cocteau Twins

Victorialand (1986)

Dream Pop, Ethereal Wave, Ambient Pop

Ambient

ethereal, atmospheric, soothing, winter, calm

occasionally very beautiful, but i wish there was just a bit more to chew on. first track is otherworldly though

3

Bathe

Mathcore, Sludge Metal

Dissonant Death Metal, Drone Metal, Dark Ambient

dense, dissonant, chaotic, aggressive, male vocalist

kind of whatever. cool stuff sometimes. interesting concept i guess. not bad.

3

C'est pas moi [It's Not Me] (2024)

pretty cool stuff, lots of unique editing and visually stunning shots/collages. i dont really know anything about carax at all though, i probably wouldve liked it more if i did

after this we watched phonk edits for like an hour

na

Leaving D.C. (2012)

went over to bros and chilled watched.

faulted in trying to be regular horror , should have leaned into some more experimental type deals. premise was intriguing but it doesnt live up. ending was great. hes a bit too loud. also very repetitive

2.5

Examination of the...

We Are the Architects of Desire (2001)

Screamo, Emoviolence

Emoviolence, Mathcore

sexual, chaotic, sad, dissonant, uncommon time signatures

dont remember where i found this.

the dark ambient seemed like it would weigh it down (it does) but the intro and outro are technically tape metal so thats cool.

boring otherwise

2.5

The Heads Are Zeros

The Heads Are Zeros (2017)

Grindcore, Mathcore

Emoviolence

female vocalist, aggressive, chaotic, dark, heavy

same list.

guitar is massive sounds great, otherwise its just regular skramz stuff

Grindcore, Mathcore

Powerviolence, Emoviolence, Screamo

female vocalist, aggressive, chaotic, manic, uncommon time signatures

saved from some female lead singer grind list.

doesnt do anything for me. derivative

2.5

Taproot

The Episodes (2012)

Alternative Metal, Post-Hardcore, Alternative Rock

Alternative Rock

heavy, melodic, male vocalist

hes got a good voice, guitar tones are dialed in, and i dont even mind the recurring text to speech thing, but none of these songs stand out from each other. ends up being a super tedious listen

2.5

The Bled

Pass the Flask (2003)

Post-Hardcore, Metalcore

Emo, Mall Screamo, Sass

heavy, dark, melancholic, aggressive, energetic

some chill core. wish they leaned into melodic vocals more. interesting songwriting

3

False Noise

Emerald Green (2018) [EP]

Neurofunk

Halftime, Techstep, Neurohop, Ambient

energetic, atmospheric, rhythmic, dense, noisy

feel like theres so many opportunities to experiment and do something really new and impressive within this style of music, unfortunately this doesnt tap in to any of that potential.

2.5

Not for Now

Your Only Forgotten Funeral (2005)

Mall Screamo

Emo-Pop

male vocalist, anxious, aggressive, breakup, love

was kind of hoping it might be cheesy enough that it would actually be charming but its just boring. nothing noteworthy

2.5

DJ Nate

Take Off Mode (2019)

Footwork

sampling, urban, party, playful, energetic

lovely. feels so ice cold (mayb thats becaus i was inthe frezer...) but its got so luch energy. really cool he was able to come back to this style and its like he never left

3.5

Yhapojj

Evolution of Xur (2023) [EP]

Lowend, Cloud Rap

Jerk, Pop Rap

nocturnal, longing, romantic, love, rhythmic

Matando güeros (1993)

Deathgrind, Grindcore

Goregrind

crime, vulgar, hateful, death, violence

saved this back when their singer passed (goes to show you how far behind on some of this shitわ i am)

its decent grind stuff. i like the production. not crazy ab the vocals

3

Since My Beloved

The Sickness Called Despair... (2021) [EP]

Melodic Metalcore

Deathcore, Melodic Black Metal

heavy, male vocalist, anxious, dark, death

good metalcore. cant remember where i found this. nice melodics. i wish the vocals were clean sometimes. terrible cover

3

Suffocation

Despise the Sun (1998) [EP]

Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal

technical, heavy, aggressive, manic, male vocalist

not sure i totally get the hype but its fun. nice older style production and stuff. good solo

3

Rotten Sound

Murderworks (2002)

Grindcore

Deathgrind

aggressive, male vocalist, chaotic, heavy, misanthropic

its decent good blasting grind you know the deal. good aesthetic

Post-Hardcore, Emo-Pop, Mall Screamo, Pop Punk

Screamo, Metalcore

heavy, energetic, bittersweet, passionate, melodic

love the energy. not big on the vocals. i like the guitars. reminds me of early the used

3

Palo Alto (2013)

pa

quiet cinema. the softest memories cut the deepest. everyone is their own universe on their own trajectories and we're all crashing into eachother and killing ourselves. stars flying everywhere.

i really appreciate just how subtle and understated everything is here. camerawork, lighting, acting - especially Emma Roberts - are all quiet. theres this working little pet theory i have that their realities are constantly in flux - when spoiler: click to read.

lots of needles and pins

4

Redacted (2007)

lots of uniqueness. some creative stuff here. love the internet screencaps and the windows movie maker transitions. devastating ending. majorly underrated.

3.5

Far Apart

Hazel (1997) [EP]

Emo, Post-Hardcore

Post-Hardcore, Post-Grunge

passionate, raw, longing, melancholic, male vocalist

glad i finally got to this. first track is something else. cuts me up.

the other two are good too. B1 has some nice guitars.

3.5

Alexander Panos

Nascent (2022)

Glitch, Epic Collage, Folktronica

Electroacoustic, Glitch Pop, Ambient, A cappella

lush, atmospheric, avant-garde, ethereal, bittersweet

seemed like it may be fruitful but this was honestly super boring. lind of just felt like a never ending #SoundDesignSunday clip. also the guitars sucked honestly they sound like wii music and it kept taking me out of it

2.5

Xasthur

Nocturnal Poisoning (2002)

Atmospheric Black Metal, DSBM

DSBM

depressive, raw, atmospheric, dark, dense

one of my girlfriend's fav dsbm albums.

its fine. i like the vocals and atmosphere but its a bit long winded for me.

3

Blood

Gas • Flames • Bones (1999)

Deathgrind, Brutal Death Metal

aggressive, violence, heavy, macabre, raw

more fun lovely. im a sucker for this old school grind mixing and tone. apparently the kick is panned to both ears - good thing i listened with one headphone!

3

Gore Instinct

Invasion of the Body Slammer (2013) [EP]

Slam Death Metal

lovely mixing. good drums. fun stuff

3

Torture

4 - "Enduring Freedom" (2023)

Slam Death Metal

Holy Minimalism, Avant-Garde Metal

rhythmic, minimalistic, uncommon time signatures, war, heavy

cant really say its bad but its just way too damn long and mostly nothing. the slams just so thin im sure thats the point or whatever but everything just feels lik a skeleton. whatever. i wish he'd go back to his old style

3

Nyctophagia

Terrified of Tomorrow (2021)

Goregrind

Deathgrind

heavy, raw, male vocalist, manic, dark

saw these guys last year open for sulfuric cautery. i forgot it was another isaac band until now. they got old head energy but i fw them anyway. good drums. kind of sloppy in a positive way

3

Raped by Pigs

Squealing to the New World (2014)

Slam Death Metal

Deathcore

competent, well mixed, i cant complain. its just that these bands that slam for slams sake always end up being really uninteresting. at least theres some decent breakdowns

3

Killwhitneydead.

Never Good Enough for You (2004)

Deathcore

Southern Metal

sampling, vulgar, dark, male vocalist, ominous

another day begins.

this was missing a track on spotify but im not going to bother finding it. it wont change my opinions.

super weird mixing, not a fan of the drum sound. 4 billion samples. very boring

2.5

Marjorie -W.C. Sinclair

Ocean Floors (2020) [Single]

fucked

Digital Cumbia, Huayno, Ambient Pop, Caporal, Contemporary R&B, Saya, New Age, Mashup

dense, chaotic, rhythmic, avant-garde, sampling

impulse.

so weird. not at all what i was expecting. definitely gonna need to revisit this at some point. i really liked the first track. sounds insane.

3 for now

Eyes Set to Kill

When Silence Is Broken the Night Is Torn (2006) [EP]

Post-Hardcore, Metalcore

Mall Screamo

female vocalist

pretty much just their first album. nothing surprising here. kind of cool to hear earlier versions of some of the tracks that ended up on there.

3

Marjorie -W.C. Sinclair

Blindman's Holiday (2025)

Experimental Hip Hop, Detroit Sound

Nervous Music, Industrial Hip Hop, Electro-Industrial, Abstract Hip Hop, Nerdcore Hip Hop, MIDI Music, EBM

deadpan, humorous, vulgar, playful, mechanical

i really fuck with the super dark and aggressive atmosphere here, it sounds industrial. but besides a great run of three tracks from 3-5, not a whole lot sticks out to me.

weirdly the most interesting aspect of this is the production...

3

claire rousay

a moment in st louis and a moment at the beach (2021) [EP]

Ambient, Field Recordings, Musique concrète

Spoken Word

very serene. really stellar recording quality on the first track. feels healing

3.5

Moody Good

Goofball (2019) [EP]

Brostep, Briddim

Riddim, Hybrid Trap

energetic, rhythmic, sampling, aggressive, dense

really fun stuff. first two tracks are great, lovely fat drops. i like anti acid's claustrophobic feeling. jimmytics is also good but the least noteworthy to me

3.5

ROSÉ

Rosie (2024)

Pop, K-Pop

Adult Contemporary, Alt-Pop, Contemporary R&B

breakup, female vocalist, bittersweet, sentimental, longing

byoned boring. migraine headache mundane. this is an excellent reminder of why its so important that i cant parse the lyrics in most kpop.

1.5

KISS OF LIFE

Lose Yourself (2024) [EP]

K-Pop, Pop, Contemporary R&B

Pop Rap, Dance-Pop, Trap

boastful, urban, party, female vocalist, energetic

more nothing but it does have Get Loud which is super fun

2.5

KISS OF LIFE

Born to be XX (2023) [EP]

Pop, K-Pop, Contemporary R&B

Hip Hop Soul, Trap [EDM]

female vocalist, urban, playful, rhythmic, rebellious

i think that with those dusty old recs finally tagged and processed, im out of my dry-spell and im back in the rating game.

nothing here catches my attention. maybe 808. production is nice and consistent

2.5

Brainiac

Electro-Shock for President (1997) [EP]

Synth Punk

Noise Rock, Industrial Rock, Sass, Experimental Rock, Minimal Synth

manic, anxious, dissonant, quirky, male vocalist

it makes sense for them to have been moving in a direction with electronic stuff, i mean they were practically already making electronic music with Hissing Prigs.

unfortunately this is the most boring fucking thing in the entire world. just about nothing of substance here except maybe Mr Fingers? but even then i dont know how much i care for that track.

perhaps in an alternate universe we would have gotten a fully fleshed out EBM Industrial monster rivaling the success of early NIN

2.5

3RA1N1AC

Hissing Prigs in Static Couture (1996)

Noise Rock, Art Punk, Post-Hardcore, Sass, Experimental Rock

Synth Punk, Sass, Dance-Punk, Post-Punk, Pigfuck

manic, energetic, anxious, chaotic, noisy

continuing to refine their style; this is probably their best release. one surprising takeaway for me was all the little noise bits and quieter details. i like the aesthetic it builds. kind of campy, though, ill be honest.

3

Brainiac

Bonsai Superstar (1994)

Noise Rock, Post-Hardcore, Art Punk, Sass

Experimental Rock, Sass, Synth Punk, Pigfuck

noisy, humorous, anxious, energetic, sarcastic

a step further into the noise rock-isms; a bit less aggression. still cant say it does anything for me though. some choruses can get pretty annoying though

3

Brainiac

Smack Bunny Baby (1993)

Noise Rock, Post-Hardcore

Art Punk, Sass, Indie Rock, Pigfuck, Dance-Punk, Grunge

manic, energetic, quirky, anxious, abstract

since we're listening to friends recs i say its about high time we knock out the oldest recs i havent heard yet.

suuuper post hardcore. the most pure example of noise rock phxc you could imagine, i can def see why so many bands in the scene praise these guys as an influence. not that it does much for me, in fact im totally turned off by how phxc it all sounds (especially the drumming), but its not bad by any means. i think im maybe just 6 or 7 years too late to get a lot out of this.

some songs sound exactly like one of my friends' bands

3

Oklou

Choke Enough (2025)

Alt-Pop, Electronic

Alternative R&B, Ambient Trance, Indietronica, Ambient Pop

ethereal, minimalistic, soft, atmospheric, melodic

i kind of prefer this over galore, for now at least. im much more intrigued by the atmosphere and aesthetic of this one. theres more warmth in the melodies and timbres too. ict is awesome. im coming around to the bladee. still feels like im missing something though, and i cant justify a higher rating.

also idk why i thought oklou had like hella albums i didnt realize this is practically her 2nd one

3

Oklou

Galore (2020) [Mixtape]

Alternative R&B, Alt-Pop, Ambient Pop, Electronic

UK Bass, Field Recordings, Progressive Electronic

ethereal, nocturnal, soft, female vocalist, atmospheric

little rec im finally getting around to.

lovely synths and melodies, i expected more drumwork but its largely ambient stuff. not bad but noteworthy. i like the field recordings. wish there were some more highlights. maybe im missing out on a relisten

3

Gorepoflesh

Gore Fucking Corpses (2009)

Brutal Death Metal

Slam Death Metal

sexual, vulgar, death, aggressive, rhythmic

really dope shitわ. riffage is top knotch, though i wish it was mixed a bit more clearly because the drums way overtake everything. not that thats bad, in fact the drums are probably the best part about this.

3.5

bimby1 cats

A Cozy Bed for You to Sleep In (2025)

Alternative R&B

Plugg, Jerk

so good. glad we finally got this.

the jerk tracks are still the best, but now shes making diary plugg tracks which is really cool. theyve all got some kind of interesting production ideas so they dont feel like usual generic #twilight slop, and ofc her vocals sound pretty good on all of it. unfortunately also includes her pinkpantheress atmodnb song which reeks major dong and theres a couple other ones i skip every time but the good outweighs the bad fs

3.5

100 gecs

Boiler Room: 100 gecs in Los Angeles, Mar 5, 2023 (2023) [DJ Mix]

Electronic Dance Music

Nightcore, Brostep, Jungle, Hyperpop, Mashup, Jump-Up, Jersey Club, Dariacore, Trap

eclectic, energetic, party, playful, rhythmic

expected a little more awesomeness but sometimes idgaf ab whatever theyre trying to do. still some good track selections, a lot more amen break than i was honestly anticipating, and they have a very light and fun energy that kind of seeps through the music.

3

Kaskade & Skrillex

Lick It (2012) [Single]

Complextro, French Electro

French House, Progressive House

sampling, instrumental, party, energetic, repetitive

im not super big on the original track, its fun and old skrillex is awesomestjust its not essentialto me, but man every remix blows. feels like theres a ton of potential but no one can deliver

2.5

H20$$$Sports$$$

H20 Catalog 2014-2015 . Unreleased. R.I.P H20Sports (2017) [Mixtape]

Instrumental Hip Hop, Cloud Rap, Trap

Jazz Rap, Snap

psychedelic, rhythmic, ethereal, surreal, nocturnal

just an untouchable vibe. feels like theres something living in the hi hats or something. lots of passion.

3.5

Bladee & Ecco2k

Summertime Demos (2024) [Bootleg / Unauthorized]

Art Pop, Cloud Rap

Synthpop, Chillwave, Alt-Pop

surreal, peaceful, playful, ethereal, lush

colorado was fun. skied and fell down alot. i ended up getting altitude sickness on the way back home and was bedridden for like a day but thats okay. i loved how walkable the city we stayed in was. its still american infrastructure so crossing the road requires walking over 5 lanes of traffic but its nicer than it is in texas. played a lot of poker with my family which i actually really enjoy. too bad its got so many sweats

cute but kind of whatever collection of demos. one of them sounds like the rough draft of Yeses. grace is nice. crazy that skrillex produced the first 5. i guess they might have been from Real Spring/Summertime Blood sessions.

Essential Mix (2013) [DJ Mix]

House, Trap [EDM], Electronic Dance Music

Tech House, Brostep, Fidget House, Deep House, Footwork

urban, party, energetic, rhythmic

hi im still alive

kind of just background music while i was gaming and cleaning. its nice, some good song choices. if you were at all tapped in to the festival edm scene in 2012-2013 you'll recognize a bunch here. for me specifically theres a good amount of crossover with 2013's Shambhala mix which ive heard a million times now.

doesnt feel very skrillex without his constant interjections and quick paced cuts (he lets the full runtimes play out for a lot of this) but its entertaining enough that that doesnt really matter. we're not here for sonny anyway, we're here to dance

Rick Ross

Aston Martin Music (2010) [Single]

Pop Rap, Contemporary R&B, Mafioso Rap

Contemporary R&B

atmospheric, boastful, hedonism, sensual, ethereal

got a snippet of this in a reel and lost my mind. so damn heavenly, chrisette's vocals are elevating. ive heard the cut drake verse and it would be so goated on the official, a 7 min track of this would be so cool. production immaculate. idc for rick's lyrics but hes got a perfect voice and flow for this kind of stuff. lovely

3.5

3

Dusk Eater

Demo: Addendum (2025) [Additional release]

Avant-Garde Metal, Brutal Death Metal

so fucking nuts. some of the most ridiculous metal ive ever heard. i wish it was longer

3.5

Christian Necromancy

The Pederast (2025)

Dissonant Black Metal, Avant-Garde Metal

anti-religious, hateful, angry, disturbing, atonal

its cool stuff but i find that its kind of one dimensional. the last track is definitely the best, and if you didnt feel like listening to all of this i think only that one would suffice. drums sound cool.

3

Kreayshawn

Majora (2025) [Single]

Experimental Hip Hop, Dark Plugg, Terror Plugg

Jerk, Industrial Hip Hop

introspective, humorous, sexual, depressive, female vocalist

ridiculous lol. some funny lines. she needs to just keep making random ass songs eventually ones gonna be peak as fuck

3

Life of Belle

random little found footage we decided to put on. surprised its not on rym. i dont feel like adding it.

just paranormal activity from the kids perspective. i couldnt stand the wife. just really poor LOOK IM LIKE CRAZY!! acting. i wish it was more of the kids just doing stuff and random things happening that seemed weird. also not sure at all what the damn concept is. the ending doesnt really offer any explanations.

2.5

Yung Lean x Thaiboy Digital x Bladee

Buildings (2013) [Single]

Cloud Rap, Alternative R&B

Experimental Hip Hop, Vaportrap

ethereal, winter, cold, mellow, bittersweet

beat so heavenly. amazing vocal chop sample. leans verse is uncharacteristically hazy, really love how his vocals are processed. you can kinda tell it was like one take vibes the way hes a bit off in some places lol. thaiboys is perfect ass shitわ. cant top that. and of course blader delivers. been bumping a lot of old gtb stuff lately.

Sheol (2025)

Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal

Slam Death Metal

male vocalist, noisy, uncommon time signatures, rhythmic, infernal

amazing start to brutality this year. while asw and theurgy are the attention grabbers, my favorite sides have to be insalubrity's and excrescence's. perfect firestorm beatdowns. i actually didnt like how asw's side sounded, its mixed so quietly.

4

Hi-C

Demon Luvv 615 (2017) [EP]

Cloud Rap, Trap, Plugg

psychedelic, sexual, lo-fi, ethereal, sampling

he was really capturing something so special back then. untouchable vibes and atmosphere. feels so calming. the highlight is obv the second track, but the first is cool too. i prefer the version on lonestar

3.5

N2E TYRONETHERAPPER

Triple Cs (2025) [EP]

Dark Plugg, Hardcore Hip Hop, Experimental Hip Hop, Terror Plugg

Noise, Trap Metal, Industrial Hip Hop

chaotic, noisy, manic, humorous, hateful

actually ridiculous as fuck. guttural terror plugg collage. the parts where the entire track hard pans left and right are so disorienting. the features are insane too. gonna be keeping an eye on you tyrone

3.5

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

for some reason this was the only movie we could fucking decide on.

i didnt expect much and i didnt get much. really terrible dialogue sometimes and its painfully flat and one dimensional. i think a longer runtime wouldve let more complex ideas paint themselves out, but i slso dont want to watch this for any longer than i need to.

b/a

Måsstaden Under Vatten (Instrumental) (2021) [Additional release]

Djent, Thall

Post-Metal

instrumental, angular, surreal, nocturnal, dark

the instrumentals can stand on their own just as strongly as their full-band counterparts. gives you a slightly deeper appreciation for the songwriting and technical intricacies going on that are easy to miss following the vocals. i think i still prefer the original but this is pretty damn awesome.

fascinsting they even scrapped some of this. its also nice to just listen to riffs like these in a comp format it just kind of feels right.

W&W

OIIA OIIA (Spinning Cat) (2025) [Single]

Full-On Psytrance, Novelty

humorous, energetic, sampling, repetitive, internet

the snippet collage on youtube is much better, but this is still good. im not crazy about the melodic part though. guess im just biased towards the darker sound of this kind of psy

3

Humanity's Last Breath

Ashen (2023)

Downtempo Deathcore, Thall, Djent

Post-Metal

heavy, uncommon time signatures, atmospheric, dense, apocalyptic

definitely a step up from valde, a bit closer to their thall roots, but its still just run of the mill deathcore for the most part. some nifty little guitar parts but nothing memorable really

3

Meshuggah

Nothing (2002)

Djent

Groove Metal

mechanical, heavy, aggressive, rhythmic, repetitive

decided to listen to this since id never heard the full original before and i wanted to bump some nothing anyway.

definitely the best part of this is the drums. unfortunately (and i still dont understand why they did this) for 2006 they used an ekit. it sounds fine and is still the preferred version of this album for me but it is sad how much of the personality the drums lose!

4 still tho

Humanity's Last Breath

Välde (2021)

Deathcore, Downtempo Deathcore, Thall

Djent, Post-Metal

dissonant, heavy, male vocalist, dark, ominous

no class today cuz its mlk day and i dont have work until 5. it was nice to just chill at home all day. well we did go to the gym in the morning. trying to get that routine going again. i spent the day reading and playing nuclear throne on and off.

really disappointing, but the cover art kind of spoiled that for me lol. its not even that its bad, but its so boring. a far cry from the exciting and super dark thall stuff they debuted with. even though Abyssal was also a step down it still had that inventive and unique edge to it that helped this act stand out. Välde lacks a lot of what makes their music worthwhile for me. sure theres some interesting stuff, notably some weird guitar choices that are cool, but it lacks the complexity and taste of their earlier stuff. feels like just another deathcore release, slightly more downtuned. i also hate how overproduced it all is.

2.5

Meshuggah

Catch Thirtythree (2005)

Djent, Progressive Metal

Avant-Garde Metal, Groove Metal

repetitive, mechanical, heavy, complex, rhythmic

doing a lot of shugging this week. if anyone's curious, Destroy Erase Improve has more than just one or two good songs, upon closer inspection.

never really gave this the proper praise it deserves. easily some of their best djent - maintains their early era experimentation and masterful djent-writing while outgrowing the lower fidelity production and mixing; this shit sounds fucking massive. i have to be honest though, once minds mirrors hits i start getting lost. i just really dont care about their atmospheric quiet clean guitar sections at all, and theres a non-trivial amount of that going on in the second half of this, not to mention the vocoder on minds mirrors that i *still* do not really like. for these reasons it still holds itself back from being one of their higher tier releases in my opinion, but its still pretty great.

3.5

Vildhjarta

Omnislash (2009) [Additional release]

Djent, Progressive Metal

Thall

heavy, angular, progressive, aggressive, dense

really really good. im still not over the clean vocals those suck but this is some of the most exciting and fun djent ever. really dig the quality too, it adds a charming character to it. the youtube vid i listened from had some extra tracks which were instrumental. i dug those

Spiritbox

Singles Collection (2019) [EP]

Djent, Progressive Metal

Alternative Metal, Metalcore

female vocalist, heavy, melodic, introspective, atmospheric

saw this is bolded so i guess i will listen

its okay. she has a good voice and i like the djent stuff but the drums sound really fake and gross, and she just does these really odd melodies to me that feel like they want to be so catchy but arent really. ig it kind of makes sense that its a bit misdirected since these are their first releases as a band. not bad in any sense though.

Builder

Skyscraper (2003) [Single]

Early Hardstyle

ig the theme of early builder tracks is vocal chopping the most annoying samples ever. its hard to nail which mix is better, the alt mix takes out a lot of the sample but has less effective kicks and synths.

Humanity's Last Breath

Reanimated by Hate (2010) [EP]

more of the same but a bit less intricate. i wonder why the comp version of these eps is listed as a reissue and not a compilation. ig cuz the title doesnt specify

Abyssal (2019)

Deathcore, Downtempo Deathcore, Thall

Djent

heavy, male vocalist, aggressive, misanthropic, ominous

i was def hating way too much on this my first go around. im not gonna try finding the original entry but it was something about it being boring and the flanged vocals.

well its definitely not as exciting as their s/t, it certainly doesnt have the same super dark atmosphere, but it also isnt as heavy. but its still good. it still thalls! and ive come around on the flanged vocals. they are quite evil sounding. theyre a unique addition to their sound

Devil's Doll (2004) [Single]

Early Hardstyle

played a show. we only played one song. i think our set was 12 minutes. people seemed to like us. i would have stayed longer but i was tired and hungry so i went home.

very boring stuff. lacks the expansive structure that tracks like Demo and Rage have (it feels like we're just swapping through verses and choruses) and doesnt have any memorable or ecstatic synth lines that i need from hardstyle. the vocal sample is irritating.

Downtempo Deathcore, Thall

heavy, dissonant, chaotic, ominous, rhythmic

thall dealer slid me this.

instrumentals are great real fat heavy stuff good dark atmosphere but being able to parse any of these lyrics is a curse. some gay ass shitわ

Vildhjarta

Thousands of Evils (2013) [EP]

Djent, Thall, Progressive Metal

sombre, dark, melancholic, aggressive, dissonant

been in kind of a thall mood lately. i forgot that ive never heard any of their non album stuffs.

i like it. bar the second track with the horrendous clean vocals the whole thing is pretty good. lots of really heavy bits; amazing guitars i literally cant stop turning it up. its not as theatrically epic as their album stuff which i actually kind of appreciate. its got a nice brevity to it.

3.5

Ma (2019)

gfs friend came over. we were supposed to watch Heretic but its like 20$ to rent so we picked this instead since its one of her fav movies of all time. we both thought it was pretty silly. there was like a handful of weird split diopter shots that felt so out of place in a very hulu-looking movie. the premise is really dumb. at the end it gets kinda saw and theres honestly this one really really gross trap that was fucked up as fuck. lots of fun jokes were had.

Political Hip Hop, Pop Rap

Conscious Hip Hop, Ragga, Trap

the vocal melody in the chorus is kind of awesome. according to patricia taxxon, the n word bait is not unique to this song, which kind of takes away from its impact or wittiness. cover goes stupid

good atmosphere and cool little noises.

Touchups (2004)

Psytrance

irritatingly boring. it feels really hard to hate on psytrance because theres a lot of room and opportunities to make something at least interesting, so its kind of impressive that for over an hour of runtime not a single idea presented here is worth anything.

Living Wall

A Truly Ruinous Plane (2025)

Brutal Death Metal

Cybergrind, Gorenoise

is it good? sure. was it worth the almost decade long wait? ...

living wall follows up two of the most exciting and skullfucking gorenoise demos of all time with a cybergrind brutal death metal full length. i like the drums (though they start to feel like they thin out as it goes - maybe i was just getting used to them) and the very formless tracks (but they dont feel free, which is interesting) but this feels so unremarkable its puzzling to say the least why it was released under this name so many years after its heyday.

Hi-Tech Psytrance

as up-my-alley as it might sound i think the entire math themed psytrance shitわ is so corny and dumb. feels like throwing an astronaut a space themed party and the cake says Rocketship.

playful, female vocalist, male vocalist, repetitive, alcohol

its not a bad song, obviously the prechorus and chorus are good, bruno mars sounds great. i hate the stupid intro, and dont get me started on the airplane ass bridge. so annoying. this song also lacks a lot of subtlety and nuance that makes relistens more rewarding

The Dark Side of Goa (2006)

Dark Psytrance, Goa Trance

its no Beyond Colour, but its still pretty good. lots of deliciously dark atmospheres and sinister synth work. however, Metallaxis' solo track here though is ridiculously difficult to get through, so many out of time elements, idek how that happens. weirdly though my fav has to be his other track here with Terminator. some real peak stuff

3.5

The Troop

wow, my second book this year, in the first week. really proud of myself for reading so much lately.

killer premise (at first i was expecting Alien lol but its not) with lots of gorey and gruesome disturbing imagery (a huge amount of animal cruelty like a lot) and a very unique "antagonist"; i loved the interspersed news articles and courtroom transcripts, it kind of felt like reading an SCP that someone had fleshed a whole story from. but Cutter's writing kind of sucks. a lot. sort of. it seems to me that he has no idea how 14 year old boys talk, constantly referring to the "adults" and "grown ups", reflecting on santa? calling eachother jerkoids? felt like i was reading a parody at times. i also cannot stand the constant and honestly unnecessary italics emphasize every other damn word. i also thought that the characters were kind of boring but Cutter does his best to really flesh them out. newt is my favorite. i like him.

so like, if you dont care about cheesy male writing and you can appreciate the gross horror then this may be the book for you

Psykovsky

Na Ve Ka (2011)

Hi-Tech Psytrance, Forest Psytrance

psychedelic, avant-garde, dense, rhythmic, complex

much more my speed. a lot more cohesive than budet, feels less like song parts haphazardly stitched together and more like this very unique kind of psytrance that wanders and shapeshifts overtime. as exciting as the tempo changes could be, i think its for the best that we left them behind. some cool melodic elements, and the vocaloids shitわ was awesome

3.5

Psykovsky

Da Budet (2009)

Hi-Tech Psytrance

Psycore, Flashcore, Glitch

psychedelic, chaotic, surreal, energetic, dense

i kind of expected more, and im a bit disappointed with the bolded status of this.

yeah its good its really weird and definitely exciting but... it kind of hurts seeing the unwavering praise for this as "the #1 trance album on rym!" because theres just like... so much better trance out there. its a case where the hype is purely because its the only trance release most people who rate it high have heard. shrug. whatever

yeah its cool though but i think the flash and glitch tags are really misleading, especially the latter. i can definitely hear a lot of flashcore parallels - the synths in particular are very la peste reminiscent, as is the "aimless wandering" structure - but i dont think it concretely resembles anything flash. the songs feel like jagged frankensteins of ideas, the tempo changes make it feel like bits and pieces of other tracks were cut and glued together, but not in a good way? lots of satisfying sounds that jump around but go nowhere i guess. still, i appreciate its originality and vision.

Negative Space

growing up is a confusing purple haze of sex, drugs, summer, pleasure, blood, smoking, cumming, self harm, school, texts, bikes, friends, suicide, forums and abuse. every day is the worst thing ever and no one cares.

aside from some questionable pop culture references, i cannot stress enough how almost flawless of a read this feels like. while rocky at first, the constantly swapping narration is really cool and it lets the scenes paint themselves without needless exposition or scene setting. i love love love the writing style, actually so inspiring how fucked up and alien these kids describe their world, like they dont even live in reality. everything is numb but also hurts all of the time. i really loved exploring the characters. its beautiful how theres no sexuality barriers in this world, like they just feel desire for people, it doesnt matter who you are as long as our souls line up. i loved the whole religious arc that sprouted in the last half.

really unique vision, stellar execution. american identity

nineties rave retrospective volume 2 (2012) [EP]

Hardcore Breaks

Acidcore

rhythmic, sampling, manic, energetic

Lolishit

Drugs and Cake (2009) [EP]

Lolicore, Speedcore

Noise, Extratone

noisy, mechanical, infernal, rhythmic, sampling

theres something weird and addictive about these really early lolicore releases that have 0 merit to them. its just stupid but it feels slightly warm.

Artifakt

The Magus (2008)

Psytrance

saw this digging through another users ratings. looked so dumb. glad i gave it a chance.

really really obtuse psytrance... most of the time? the drums and some instruments feel so Justice inspired (so weird to say i know) - in that way its sometimes got this very weird Dance feel to it? but theres lots of weird choices elsewhere. lots of buzzing synths and effects that find some weird middle ground between being futuristic and artificial and very natural and bubbling, organic. its got a very weird warmth radiating off of it. found myself dancing a lot

Various Artists

Yap! (2015) [EP]

Splittercore, Breakcore

been digging through my old music collections from when i was younger. i really loved laur's track on this when i was a kid, i was surprised to see it actually had an album to call home, so i checked this out while playing some nuclear throne.

the first two tracks are actually the same artist. theyre okay. i wish they were more dense, and had a stronger identity. i remember nothing from hagerrrs or dj kaza's other than the fact that i didnt hate them. laur's track stands out ad the only one that really embraces any elements of speedcore. such an amazing song

Scanners

Love to Hate You (1996)

Eurodance

Europop

female vocalist, longing, party, rhythmic, melodic

doing chores. i didnt realize how many songs i actually knew off of this - tell it to my heart, the promise is a cover? or the populaf audio covered this, its my life - so weird that none of these are even their most streamed songs on spotify either, not even on marian's page.

the whole thing is fine, but it leans way harder into the american-dance-pop-hit songs like the ones i mentioned rather than the really cute eurodance sound from pure and gun shy that i like them for.

I Dont Feel the Same Anymore. (2023)

Breakcore, Lolicore

Atmospheric Drum and Bass

more emotionally charged which is nice. always lovely charming energy from these amateur little bandcamp breakcore expressions. idk. fun

Lolishit

Lucky Star (2012) [EP]

Lolicore

just going through the konata list. the concept of this release is so strange - just usual lolishit dumbass speedcore stuff but just with long dialogue clips from the show playing on top. its kind of cool though. more warmth, i was chuckling at some of the clips. i want to rewatch the show eventually.

Lolicore, Mashcore

our first 2025 entry. done doing months in these, from now on you'll just have to GUESS!
