Day 870: Attic Tapes by Brainiac

I've been a super-fan of these guys for so long that I can't truly give this an objective review. This is a collection of demos, some of which are seeing their first official release after floating around the internet for decades, but most of which have never been on the internet in the first place as far as I can tell. And they sound like demos. To someone deep into this band, this is a FASCINATING document, but if you're not into this band, this is absolutely not the place to start, and objectively it's really not that good.

No need to choose a best track here.

Day 872: Dinner Get Ready by Lingua Ignota

I saw the melon gave it a 10. I see exactly why he gave it a 10. I don't have his taste. Oddly enough, this is way less abrasive and more church-y than the 2019 album, and I'd usually prefer noise but in this case, I think this is definitely the better album.

Best Track: Repent Now Confess Now

Day 873: Welcome to the Madhouse by Tones and I

The last album I reviewed got a 10/10 from baldie so I had to check what he gave a 0/10. This is nowhere near as terrible as that Corey Feldman album nor is it as amazingly funny as Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven. A 0/10 is pushing it. It's bad and annoying but not a spectacle in how bad it is.

Best Track: None
Rating: 3/10

Day 874: The Machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again by BRUIT ≤

This album name sucks. Work sucks. My life sucks. Post-rock mostly sucks. The album itself is okay.

Best Track: i dunno it's all one piece really

The Divine Wings of Tragedy by Symphony X (1996)

It's one of my favourite prog albums ever

Day 875: Life And Another by Mega Bog

For some reason, I feel like if I was reviewing this maybe 6 or so months ago, I'd be calling it pretentious art school garbage or something. But with how utterly volatile my brain has become recently, I'm finding myself actually LOVING this stuff. The singer's voice is like eating ass to my ears (okay... that was terrible) and the spacy arrangements combined are enough to make this an enjoyable listen all the way through. I don't know if this having a track called Bull Of Heaven is meant to be a direct reference to the meme band or not.

I rushed this review because I heard rumours of a secret Kendrick drop but that turned out to be misinformation. Ah well, I really liked this one a lot. I need to make sure I remember it.

Best Track: Maybe You Died or Ameleon

Day 878: DR. EV4L by Young Nudy (Album Choice: IRL friends, sorta)

I hate when I don't know how I'm supposed to capitalize things, and I hate the fact that this guy decided to use l33tspeak in his album title in 2021. A couple of my friends saw this guy live on Saturday and said it was absolutely amazing, but resale tickets were like $70 and I had someone offering me a no-strings-attached rebound that day instead. The problem was that she lived an hour drive away, so I had to have a friend pick me up from my house to drive me to her place, then I spent like 7 hours there, then I had to call a DIFFERENT friend to come pick me up, and then I linked with the two friends that saw this guy live, the guy driving me home and another friend and the 5 of us all smoked together. The emotionless sex was absolutely TERRIBLE, and I don't know whether the sex or the moments in-between were more depressing, but the guys who saw Young Nudy live said I probably made the more emotionally and financially healthy decision, because I REALLY needed to bang someone that wasn't my abusive ex.

Anyways, this album. It's okay. Lyrically, this stuff is edgy as fuck, but I don't really care. The performances are a bit understated for what I'd expect for these kinda lyrics, but maybe that's a blessing in disguise. Apparently the concert had a very similar vibe to Playboi Carti's live performances, which makes sense because he also mumbles on record but screams live, and I can imagine that being a lot of fun. But this album? Meh. And the features add almost nothing.

Therapy session 2 on Wednesday!

Day 879: Planet Her by Doja Cat

So did the internet figure out whether she's a self-hating biracial white supremacist or not? Should I be listening to this or am I gonna get cancelled if I enjoy it?

Just kidding, I don't care about that, I care about the fact that Say So is blatantly plagiarized from one of my favorite songs ever. And none of the songs on this album are as good as that song. This album is mostly boring as fuck.

Best Track: Naked

Day 880: Aisles by Angel Olsen

First track was dope. Last 4 didn't do it for me, ranging from okay to straight up corny.

Day 882: Donda by Kanye West

Oh yeah, you were ready for me to go deep and hard to this one, weren't ya hun? You were ready for daddy rayword to ejaculate his thoughts about this nearly 2-hour opus that's still incredibly religious and I'd probably say something about his dead mother too. You were ready to lap up all my verbal jizz about why this album sucks or is a masterwork and my reasoning for it too. You were ready for me to skullfuck your mind with mindblowing thoughts on what divorce did to this man's music.

Well, I'm not giving you any of that (and also, you and I both know these reviews are either hilariously terrible or unfunnily terrible). Everyone else is giving you strong thoughts but I just think this was not very good. I still think Ye was his peak (ah, summer of 2018, how I miss thee). 108 minutes is ridiculous, and I listened to it TWICE, but it was still far less excruciating than Jesus Is King.

Best Track: You're going to end up listening to this, or you can find a recommended peak cut from someone else.

Day 883: A Martyr's Reward by Ka

Good beats, good length of songs, good length of album, great wordplay in the lyrics, but for the most part the understated delivery fails to inspire great passion from me. Still, I recognize this album is very well-made and I did enjoy it. So that's that.

Best Track: I Notice

Day 885: Hobo Johnson Alienates His Fanbase by Hobo Johnson

I was feeling particularly self-loathing today and wanted to torture myself. I succeeded.

Day 886: Sometimes I Might Be Introvert by Little Simz

I just wanted to beat the melon here. I can't be contrarian because this is definitely one of the best things I've heard this year, all 60something minutes of it.

Day 887: Certified Lover Boy by Drake (Album Choice: Multiple people IRL)

People like this guy. People suck. This album sucks. This guy is a pedophile. I can't believe I sat and listened through 90 minutes of pedophile music.

Best Track: Papi's Home (god, even the song titles bother me)
