i've never understood why people would like yeezus but not 808s. 808s and yeezus are like sister albums and they're both pretty cool.

also wtf man graduation is his best album get on that s*** sometime

Thanks man, glad you liked The Velvet Underground though!

Today:
Amor Vincit Omnia by Pure Reason Revolution
Preview: AVO

This band's debut album, The Dark Third, gets thrown around a lot in progressive rock discussion. It deserves its praise: It's a great album with stellar production, vocal harmonies & layers, catchy as f*** and a great atmosphere. I don't need to sing its praises though, two other people have that album on their calendars already.

Amor Vincit Omnia is the followup to The Dark Third. They still sound definitively Pure Reason Revolution, with all the above things I really loved about The Dark Third immediately obvious on this record. That said, it's shaken up by having a lot of electronic elements this time around, something that wasn't on The Dark Third at all if I remember correctly. Some tracks are lead entirely by the electronic parts & vocals. It gives the album a distinct identity from Dark Third.

There are a few standout tracks, but overall I'd say it's not generally as high quality as Dark Third. I enjoyed it and I'll definitely spin it a few more times, and it's a nice addition to the band's catalog, but honestly, if you haven't heard The Dark Third, just listen to that f***. It's a really nice album through and through. If you have, Amor Vincit Omnia is a nice supplement, but many of the tracks don't stand out to me as much as those on The Dark Third.

Rating: Good!

wow, I love electronic bits in generally non-electronic music, it'll be cool comparing the two when i listen to the first one then checking out the second one :D

Shad - Flying Colours
Preview: Remember To Remember
So Shad is a bit interesting, he released an album called When This Is Over, which was an album I enjoyed a lot, The Old Prince had a few good tracks, and TSOL was pretty meh to me, so this rapper is in a very stark contrast to Freddie Gibbs, if Gibbs is Thugnificent then Shad is Mr. Dubois, Shad provides much more social and political messages in a positive light, Shad is also very, very dependant on wordplay, he uses that alot. Ok! Now onto the actual record, well, the production is varied, the features are pretty good (Lights is on there!) and Shad is still with the wordplay and positive messages, and yet, I don't care much for this record, it's too soft, with When This Is Over it's a much more reserved album, Flying Colours tries to be something more energetic and tries to throw in c*** for some reason, and it just doesn't do anything for me, it's kind of like superkid rapping, can't get behind this record, but I can appreciate the wordplay and production, sadly this record isn't worth keeping in my library.

I rate 4/10 sorry Shad :/

5th album!; Eptic - The End

Another electronic album by my boy Eptic who released this 9 days ago. includes 6 songs with a variety of dance music and his typical dubstep stuff

Okay so I think that most of you guys think that dubstep is some kind of joke genre,
but just wanna point out that it really requires a lot of skill and knowledge to make something actually decent, anyway

EPTIC - SHE
I love this track so much, a slow groover with mellow synths, it's really catchy and future sounding, and it's in a completely different style then the rest of the songs in his album

EPTIC - DIMENSION 7
A song with Eptic's own typical filthy synth dubstep, this style is recognizable in a lot of his songs, and I dig the build up on this one as well
and it uses some interesting melodic ideas to give it plenty of flavour and kick

EPTIC - LEVEL MIDNIGHT
YES BOUNCE b****, such a great song, I'm not able to not headbang to this s***

Rating: 7/10, Its neat

so busy


Death Cube K - Dreamatorium

This is the first album by Buckethead using this name. I haven't listened to this album in like 4 years and don't remember much so I'm pretty excited to see how I like it now.

The album is really pretty ambient with a dark atmosphere. Honestly it's just something amazing to space out to, which I did for most of the duration. It really sucked me in, I just sat there sipping my coffee til the album was over. The songs are all interesting, but they are long and a fair amount of the time it's just atmosphere. I don't see that as a problem but I'd understand people getting bored at certain parts. There's a lot of experimental sounds everywhere and they sound really cool. Some of these tracks I could really relax hard to. "Terror By Night" is really different from the rest of the album. It doesn't feel atmospheric, it's a lot more experimental noise. & while I like the track, it feels kind of weird next to the other 4 tracks. At the end of the album I was left wanting more, so I think it was a pretty great album for me!


Not sure how many people I could recommend this to but I personally loved it and am planning to get the other Death Cube K albums some time in the future. 8.5/10
Maggot Dream is my fav track.

Eptic has some cool songs, didn't really feel those tracks though, glad you like it!

Buckethead is like one of my favourite guitarists ever. Lol.
If you want more of experimental buckethead, you can try some of these:

uuuu all this new music is killing me
great recommendations!! thanks bud

woo, you're welcome! they're more like needles in a haystack when it comes to certain buckethead albums

120 albums and a bunch of extras/being in bands is pretty damn prolific, keeping them all relatively different is even more so the point

Bring it nerds.

yeah Hendrix never really interested me either...

i think the only people who would "bring it" would be dads, not nerds.
you're totally correct. hendrix isnt very interesting


i have the next 3 days off so my albums will come at a more normal time by the way

My dad is gonna ground me if he finds out about my review.

pchooooo i have a migraine



Tim Hecker - Radio Amor

Today was a pretty good day for this album. Dark, gloomy, and rainy. Tim Hecker is generally a pretty outstanding musician from what I've heard of his discography thus far, and this album didn't really disappoint me. I'm going to go ahead and say right now that I much prefer his album "Ravedeath, 1972", and I'll cease comparing the two right there. Hecker makes very atmospheric and dense drone music, just soaked in mood and vision. He paints beautiful landscapes with his sounds and it's really easy to get lost in these albums. Radio Amor was a nice. It wasn't really all that heavy or emotional to me, but it wasn't bad at all in the slightest. I enjoyed it pretty thoroughly. It's an album that I'd really like to spend more time with. It's definitely a grower, as all of Hecker's albums are. It's not a terribly intense album but it's one that I'd recommend for any fans of drone/ambient music.

6/10. I liked it and thought it was good! Favorite tracks: Spectral, 7,000 Miles. Trade Winds, White Heat.
