not a single review done
thanks rayword for the title idea
I'm not gonna compile a shit ton of albums into a spreadsheet and try to tackle them one per day. INSTEAD, I'm just gonna listen to albums posted in this thread in rough order. https://rateyourmusic.com/~contrapatior here's my rym for an idea of what I like and don't like. I'm pretty open to most music though gimme good shit that I haven't heard yet, gimme good shit that's probably in my backlog, gimme shit shit that I'm gonna hate, gimme meme music bye |

Chinese Football - Chinese Football (Math Rock)
Tyler, the Creator - Flower Boy (Hip Hop) Ten Sleep - No Place Like House (Indie Rock) By the way I didn't mention it in the thread but I really dug your Ravel Sonatine loop, love that piece and it was well done in a different context. |

so the first track, 15, hits and I'm kinda excited for the rest of the album. glitchy goodness and the synths he uses are cute. unfortunately, the second track, and quite a few tracks actually, encorporate vocals. I'm not against music with singing in general, but when it comes to glitchy, idm-esque albums, I'm not too fond of them. I personally think they detract from the glitchy aesthetics. using vocals, a listener is automatically gonna be focusing on them, and everything else just ends up being... well, background music? that probably sounds demeaning or something, but that's just how it is. it also doesn't help that the girl singing on a majority of the tracks doesn't have a particularly standout voice. which is fine I suppose, but eh. now, I will say, that in the sections on tracks that use vocals as samples, those are the more interesting bits. the breathy ambient vocals in Easy, Opal, Sunday Morning, are all more interesting than the sung parts of other tracks. his synth patches are what ultimately end up being the best thing about the album; a lot of the synths have a wintery (frosty?) feeling to them. Daddy Walks Under The Snow was a pretty great track, probably the coolest (literally) track on the album. this one ended up sounding a lot like edm/chillwave stuff with a bit more emphasis on glitch. it was an alright listen! there's one review on rym for this album, and I think I'd agree. the singing isn't anything to write home about, but it's a gentle breath of fresh(mint) air. 3/5 |

Redder is a notable track imo, the vocals aren't discernable but the track is super upbeat and much faster than anything else on the album... I think. the unfortunate thing about bands who borrow heavily from other shoegaze bands is that they eventually just sound like a mishmash of their contemporaries. which again, isn't a bad thing, especially if you just love the vibe of shoegaze and dream pop and associated styles that use the hazy, distorted formula. but it ultimately leaves the album sounding like background, mood music. but hey, at least this is good. I will definitely be listening to this again though, because it's free (technically pay what you want). that's pretty great! this doesn't sound at all like a hobbyist band, it does the shoegaze aesthetic well enough. 3.5/5 |

but november? WHO DAT BOY? I AIN'T GOT TIME!? GARDEN SHED? holy moly, garden shed is good. one of my favorite tracks off wolf was the one where he was talking about his dad, because I could relate to it and I thought it was one of the most emotional things he's ever rapped about, but goddamned garden shed is, probably, the best thing he's ever done. I Ain't Got Time is so good too, I'm likely going to make a chart for it. the start says "god I love this sample" and I agree. a$ap rocky on who dat boy is great too. I really hope that his next album is as good, and more conceptual, and flows a bit better. but this is his best album. I never would have believed someone if they told me tyler would be doing stuff like this only a few years after wolf. 4/5 |

Awesome that you dug this one so much. I listened to some Tyler before this album but this is the first that I've really fucked with. I think See You Again is far and away the best track, and I can't say Garden Shed is a favorite off the album though it is still a good song. Interesting that we can have such differing opinions on the same music but still ultimately like it! |
