2021 Jams
Been behind on releases so I'm playing catch up. Recs are welcomed. Will be updated periodically.
Currently Listening to: |
1 | | Ad Nauseam Imperative Imperceptible Impulse
I've listened to this three times and I still can't wrap my head around it.
Verdict: After listening to this a ton, This is great. It channels ideas from Ulcerate and Gorguts whilst managing to sound unique. The production is excellent to boot as well. Will definitely be revisiting this.
4/5 |
2 | | Drawn and Quartered Congregation Pestilence |
3 | | Inferno (CZ) PARADEIGMA (Phosphenes of Aphotic Eternity) |
4 | | Little Simz Sometimes I Might Be Introvert
Verdict: Such a heartfelt album. Definitely a serious contender for AOTY. 4/5 |
5 | | Kanye West Donda |
6 | | Ka A Martyr's Reward |
7 | | Esoctrilihum Dy'th Requiem for the Serpent Telepath |
8 | | Serpent Column Katartisis
Verdict: Continues in the vein of last year's LP with less suffocating production. This time around the songwriting is stronger. 4/5 |
9 | | Tyler, the Creator Call Me If You Get Lost
Verdict: A "return to form" of sorts. Nice to see Tyler rapping again.
4/5 |
10 | | Aenigmatum Deconsecrate |
11 | | Krallice Demonic Wealth
Verdict: Too much messing around with synths. I don't mind heavy synth stuff generally, but this didn't really grab me. Resistant Strains is cool.
3/5 |
12 | | Inferi (USA) Vile Genesis
Always meant to check these guys out. Now is as good a time as any I guess
Verdict: Fast, Furious, and Epic. 4/5 |
13 | | Mare Cognitum Solar Paroxysm
Verdict: Slightly weaker than Luminiferous Aether, but still a good time. Special mention goes to Terra Requiem. 4/5 |
14 | | Forhist Forhist
Verdict: By the numbers atmo bm. Doesn't reach the highs of the MV albums, but still enjoyable.
3.5/5 |
15 | | Portal Avow
Listened to this back when it first released, but haven't touched it since. |
16 | | Injury Reserve By The Time I Get To Phoenix |
17 | | Carcass Torn Arteries
Verdict: Pretty good for a band 20 years in the game 3.5/5. |
18 | | Obscura A Valediction
Hopefully this is better than Dilivium. |
19 | | Rivers of Nihil The Work
Verdict: Kinda disappointing coming off the heels of Owls honestly. It has some enjoyable moments, but as a whole, it feels really disjointed and somewhat underdeveloped. 3/5 |
20 | | Brother Ali Brother Minutester Vol. 1
Rec'd by Cryptkeeper
Verdict: Short but impactful. 4/5 |
21 | | Flying Lotus Yasuke |
22 | | Full of Hell Garden of Burning Apparitions
Verdict: Doesn't have as many standout moments compared to Weeping Choir, but still a solid ride. 3.5/5 |
23 | | Cara Neir Phase Out
Verdict: This shouldn't work as well as it does but it does somehow. I'm curious to see when this style goes assuming they spend more time with it.
3.5/5 |
