04.07.20 | I always really enjoy those and now seems as good a time as any! Planning on leaving this open for recs until the weekend, so let's say closed up at 5:00pm on Friday. Would folks prefer that I match people up based on their listening habits or just make this truly random?
My red is Burst by Snarls, which is some really good dreamy indie rock |
SlothcoreSam
04.07.20 | I will give it a shot.
Hotel Mira- Perfectionism.
It is radio friendly Indie Rock, with some killer singles, and it is a heap of fun! |

SlothcoreSam
04.11.20 | Gezan is so fucking good, no idea how I'm going to review it though, there is so much happening. |
Aberf

dedex
04.17.20 | hello this is my review
https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81218/Mourir-Animal-Bouffe-Animal/ |
bloodshy
04.17.20 | nice.
i love that we do these. one of the main reasons i do reviews is to showcase albums that might otherwise be overlooked. hopefully i notice the next time we do one. |
dmathias52
04.18.20 | About to jump into my album - Don't think I've ever listened to a full death metal album and I've for sure never finished one. So let's see how we do! |
bloodshy
04.19.20 | it feels more black metal to me |
dmathias52
04.19.20 | I'm gonna have to figure out the difference between black metal and death metal lol.
Though I have to say - I'm loving this. The atmosphere it's creating is fascinating |
Bedex
04.19.20 | I'm getting on the Q2 round for this |
dmathias52
04.19.20 | Holy shit yeah that Errance was really good and I have absolutely no idea how to write about it |
Bedex
04.19.20 | also 13 is completed! |
tyman128
04.19.20 | and 4 |
dmathias52
04.19.20 | Right! About to update! Also planning on reading everyoneโs reviews tonight |
bloodshy
04.19.20 | if you aren't sure what to do, write more about your experience with it and how it made you feel? what you were thinking? |
dmathias52
04.21.20 | Ok, working on my review now! Definitely the most challenging process I've had while writing, which is incredibly fun and why I love these types of games. Thanks for the rec bloodshy! |
Aberf
04.21.20 | How to bash an album without sounding like ranting. |
dmathias52
04.21.20 | Ohh boy. Excited to see what happens there lol |
dmathias52
04.21.20 | Ok, after struggling over that review for like three days, it's finished! Thanks for the review idea to bloodshy, tried to incorporate my personal feelings while writing and it was pretty fun |
bloodshy
04.22.20 | I read it aloud to my room mate while carpooling home. She was very impressed, and i thoroughly enjoyed it. |
Aberf
04.24.20 | https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81282/Hotel-Mira-Perfectionism/ |
Aberf
04.24.20 | I found it difficult to write about the music when I got distracted by the lyrics and vocal delivery so much. So I just wrote entirely about how it makes me feel. |
MiloRuggles
04.24.20 | Nice and succinct, I like it. Makes me feel better about my incoming review, as after one listen I have significant problems with it haha |
bloodshy
04.24.20 | mine was pretty brutal too. i started out positive, but couldn't find any positives to list |
bloodshy
04.24.20 | i really loved yves tumor and mourir. hotel mira is pretty good so far, but not the winner for me. |
Aberf
04.24.20 | Bloodshy and I have an inverted music taste as I enjoyed sematary quite a bit lol. |
bloodshy
04.24.20 | lmao aberf, we can be nemesis bros |
MiloRuggles
05.07.20 | ayy I found this thing again. apologies for the slow turnaround team

JohnnyoftheWell
02.03.23 | probably long enough ago - these things always need a good reset period

Mort.
