  How nice to know that for most of the time, the inspiration of the new pop - punk idols is in the guys who value "California" by Blink - 182 :/. This new wave is good for reviving pop punk in the mainstream, but it's far from impressing music nerds, since it prefers Matt Skibba's arena anthems in favor of the Mark/Tom dynamic.  Crossing the spacey production of trap with the relatability of pop punk is innovative, I'm not going to lie.  There are melodies here that make me feel a brutal nostalgia for Blink - 182 - damn, there are drums and riffs/driving guitars here that take me back in time or make me wish I was listening to Blink 182. Besides that, apart from the generic beats Travis Barker's production work is more than decent - surprisingly diverse in terms of sound! Unfortunately, the bottom line had potential!However, the performances are necessarily 0 fucks given instead of being genuinely 0 fucks given, I didn't feel like singing a single chorus,...

  "For The First Time" is proof that although they were late to the party, "Black Country, New Road" is the best scene to happen in current post punk recently (the most comparable with 2020 might be West Of Eden and although I prefer the super duper highlights of HMLTD, I'm the first to acknowledge that "Black Country, New Road" is much more cohesive/instant classic. Hack, I might prefer "For The First time" in favor of the Idles' magnum opus. This is so but so good - I had to be digging around in the bottom of my barrel of nitpicks to find any flaws in this debut. Speaking of which, how is this a debut?????? This has left me speechless - the sound of Black Country, New Road" is not only innovative but also superbly detailed. IT IS SO GOOD! The very premise of the band is superb: it brings together the unpredictability of jazz, with the riffs that made post punk so artsy and iconic. This rules! I've been listening to this for abo...

  YES! YES! YES! (one for every disappointing album)... "OK HUMAN", the new album from a legendary band I've never heard of (lol) - WEEZER, is surprisingly good, especially considering the previous slips. I swear, I tried really hard not to like this and not to embrace the hype on first listening (too claustrophobic, too many references, not enough emotion, too much this, too much that), but the truth is that most of the LP ended up growing on me. (it started as just decent) Please Weezer, Hold on to Jake Sinclair! Jake Sinclair is by far your best current producer, even though he only produced the extraordinary White Album. In 2016, Jake Sinclair took everything fans love about 90's Weezer and such virtues for a beach album. In "Ok Human" he completely reinvents Weezer through a more baroque/classical approach (piano, violins). And the most surprising thing is that it works, this LP doesn't have a single distorted guitar and is one of the best in Weezer...

  Harmless. Like, I'm completely aware that they take advantage of the typical nostalgia of the 2000s and are nothing but Paramore/Yellowcard/Garbage/YeahYeahYeahs 2.0 - in some songs, with spoken words a la Blink 182 or with vocal derivations typical of female vocals (Taylor Swift, Lana?)                                 Although it is slightly overproduced - especially in some isntruments/transitions, it is very far from being something offensive.  There are even moments where the drums and strings come together and make some cool riffs. it's the typical album that doesn't hurt anyone, so there's no reason to hate it, since I find the lyrics and emotion, in general, quite selfware - and it has moments where it recreates the nostalgia left behind by the bands mentioned above (small town, loves and dislikes, sexuality, frustration, etc. )  - yup, the choruses oscillate between being really...

  THISSUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If only this  LP was self aware it and I could laugh together at how absurd this is. But not like this! This way it's just me making fun of this to the rotten face.Country can be such an interesting genre... but this is just the worst!  I think it practically makes me want to puke xD - it's one of those so commercially viable that it sickens!!!!!!!!!! They dispatch the verses with typical Redneck/country cringe references to get to overblown hooks a la Bon Jovi as quickly as possible - I swear, I can imagine the guys who love Trump/Karens listening to this shit and loving it. It's SO BUT SO EXCESSIVELY DERIVATIVE in melodic terms (there's nothing here that I've never heard) that it hurts!   (at least it has some sound diversity, i guess) AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH they put a random interlude on the album ("like go rest there, because the choruses will be...

  "I've Seen All I Need To See", The Body's new LP, is quite reasonable. I admit that at first I wasn't at all interested in the group's sound (and frankly, part of me still isn't), however, after repeated listens I finally began to appreciate their interesting approach to elements such as noise, distortion, and intense percussion. Head bopping from start to finish.Melodically, this is quite bold and takes interesting risks! (sometimes they don't pay off - the intro of the first track is disconcerting, in the worst sense of the word)  However, the agonizing screams are a giant turnoff for me, damn, I swear I tried to get used to them and take them for granted, but can't :/ .

  "Sound Ancestors" by producer Madlib - someone I'm not exactly familiar with yet is far from a trip to frame and tell future generations about, but it certainly has highlights and notable elements! Frankly, in the less good moments - this gives a lot of 7G (Ag. cook) vibes - diversity of sound, unfocused , taking motifs and prolonging them to exhaustion (even if the tracks are brief), or else putting several elements together but nothing happens ( Riddim Chant)" Until "Hopprock" (included) I still believed that the tracks would strengthen by showing us the "bigger picture" , since "There is no Team prelude" gives that vibe. "The Call" and "Road Of The Lonely Ones" are perhaps the real higlights of the album - through spacious production, psychedelic vocals, and extremely catchy riffs/percussion. Also of note on this solid block are the bass lines of Dirtknock and the electrifying "Hopprock". From here on t...

 Jazzy intrumentation - cool stuff. The early lyrics are pretty decent and so are the vocals. Yeah, i don't care much about the lyrics or the sigging or the hooks, but they are more than bearable. But those jazzy instruments/ baroque (violin) are so freakin' good! It sounds more and more meh ,though...I don't have much to say. Ya, it's more than tolerable. Intrumentation and production/atmosphere are cute and that's what sells me the idea of a decent stamp, but the female vocals and songwriting and (choruses) are just extremely tolerable, although not at all invested I have to recognize some objective quality. It is also more diverse. And if someone said to me: "ya, I really enjoyed this one" - I could understand.

 Well, I'll get to the "elephant in the room" in a minute! I'm beginning to think I wasn't afraid of Folklore itself, but of the legacy/trend of it. The, more I listen to it the more I feel that it's pretty alright - especially complementing it with Evermore. In fact, instead of comparing it to Lana Del Rei, I end up comparing these albums to Folklore, as if Folklore doesn't have derivations... However, a fastidious trend started - "award for most falsely emotional singer songwriter album with a relatively rustic production. And this is certainly Hayley Williams' "folk" - and it's a bit boring :/. Whereas Hayley Williams' debut (taking out the Radiohead spin-offs, etc.) demonstrated unique virtues typical of the artist - here, I can't even recognize her voice!!!!!!!!!! Like, I can imagine Taylor Swift singing....This doesn't sound at all like Hayley Williams is an "expensive copy" of Folcolre - there's no wa...

 Electronics. It could be more textured.  Fuses diverse electronic beats with atmospheric vocals for long periods of time that are danceable, energetic, that rarely become cloying - excellent first two tracks. The incomprehensible vocals on "Apricots" are slightly off-putting... Maybe it's my fault, but the mix sounds weird - too many flashy elements (honking horns), but instrumentally it's kind of catchy. . The vocal paritcipation in "Saku" is ok, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done... it's decent."Lido" soothes the scenes that don't need soothing.  After all, is it for dancing or is it for introspection with digital environments, i need to know!!!!!!  YES! we've warmed up again with "X"! - distorted/disconcerting. The vibe is still nice, but slightly cloying and there's a horn that won't shut up :/. Blur... YES! we've warmed up again with "X"! - distorted/deconcerting blows/chords? ganda beat! (aute...

  MEH! MEh! people miss AC/DC but this FF record in some ways is so predictable it hurts! I mean, there's nothing really offensive other than overblown choruses in "Making A Fire" , Cloudstopper, "Waiting On A War", "No Son Of Mine", "Love Dies Young". Despite trying to sound epic, this LP is painfully inoffensive xD - it's just that the sing along choruses aren't even funny anymore... I rolled my eyes a few times. I was relatively interested and curious in tracks like "Shame Shame", " in which they resort to duets, whispers, and organic drums, beats, funky bass and guitars that open another door in the FF sound, I might even consider these tracks decent. Ya even this sound is derivative (Queens of the Stone Age), but at least they are based on good and different elements, but when they make the "typical ballad" (Waiting On A War, Chasing Birds) or the single a la the scorpions (Medicine At Midnight) it is the...

  Annoying choruses - worthy of rolling your eyes. Not crazy about the vocals, claustrophobic. Average prodcution, but with some interesting details. Trying to be Harley Quinn but in the evil doll sense....Some sound diversity. Lyrics oscillate between relatively interesting details and details, especially in the stanzas and generic scenes - painfully generic. Princess Nokia's participation is a totally different vibe (very strange to hear her in that beat). There are painfully repetitive elements here. "Hey grandpa, drop the beat XD" - this was genuinely funny. It gives a lot of that chick who wants attention vibe. She's not monochordic at all - I see potential! - but all the voices she does make my hair stand on end xD. The production  is slightly average, but has interesting details and elements. Definitely creative - props for that. Repeating the grandpa joke was a really bad choice. By the way, I like the vocals and the beat, maybe, in the first stanza in the son...

  Overproduced. Intense. Nothing happens. It has captivating moments, but they are rare. Even in diversified sonically, but the formula is always the same - end with unorthodox, slightly dark environmental passage.

  Refrains slightly influenced by millenium pop.  The wordplay is relatively interesting, but kinda cringe at the same time. The way it transitions between squeaky vocals and robotic vocals is kinda gimmicky. But the instrumentals though derivative, kind of have texture. I feel nothing xD. When it appeals to emotion - i just feel nothing xD. Instrumentally diverse and even has some slightly catchy moments. The choruses are so meh. Production is not exactly luxurious, especially in terms of vocals - mega average. Lyrics are minimally intriguing at times, but this has gone into the background. Clever lyrics with company/corporation puns. kinda groovy, sometimes.He knows perfectly well that he's trying to revive the 80s xD - pretty self aware. I admit that chorus that satirizes shopping is catchy. Probably the most groovy song of the piece. Is "Personal Shopper" a disco track? Definitely, dance music - notable for the length and synths. This is definitely a hyglight. Some id...
