Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicJames Ferraro Live at Primavera Sound 2012This piece is the epitome of life. Completely and utterly transcendental. James Ferraro might have accidentally created such a piece, since this was mostly just him messing with a loop, synth, and samples, yet somehow the simple improvisation and hypnotic repetition just evoke something spiritual, feeling which climaxes when James introduces the most abrupt but most effective break I've heard. There is nothing, but everything.Meshuggah IMeshuggah Destroy Erase Improvetirestires shadowdogfuck it, cumburger and one of the best albums ever.Widdly 2 Diddly LISA: The Painful Original SoundtrackThe only reason my score is so high for this OST is because of "Work Harder".4.5 superbAcid Bath When the Kite String PopsI dare you to rate this album less than 3.5. Come on, I dare you!Artillery By InheritanceA crown jewel of 1990's technical thrash, complete with excellent melodic work, sick ass riffs, a gnarly bass, amazing drumming, and cristalline production as the cherry on top.

No wayyyyyyyyy dude... Might be exaggerating but honestly the fact that Burial makes super repetitive yet super interesting music is pretty godlike. Carpenter Brut TrilogyExpert songwriting + great production + dark grittiness coupled with funky swagger = Album to re-listen to for decades.Collider -><-My ratings never make sense with each other, and this is the epitome of it. Super album, gotta listen one more time in full though.Coroner GrinCunninLynguists A Piece Of StrangeDante Mars Ajeto! Celebrating Digital ArtefactsPicture death's dynamic shroud.vmw. Now picture an artist who takes his experiments rrfurther, with an actual "narrative" to boot. That's when you get Dante Mars Ajeto's rr'Celebrating Digital Artefacts'. Now yes, it has a few flaws of transition and redundant rr"glitching", but goddamn, this is fucking fantastic. In a nutshell, it's "take one catchy rrbit from a corporate pop song and magnify it to a higher level all the while adding rrexperimentation", and it works flawlessly. The textural work is NOT lacking, it's rrmemorable and catchy, production is clearly in the hands of a skilled rindividual, highly renjoyable, quirky and unique, has tons of replay value, great tracklist, groovy, really, rthere is almost no negative I can observe in rthis. Even the classic cheesy vaporwave rconcept is followed to the point of parody(which rwas most probably intended). You're very rwelcome Bedex.rFav tracks: 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 13, 15, 19.rDeath Grips ExmilitaryDeftones White PonyDemilich Nespithe"fuck the frog vox and all the troll 5s on this lmaoooooooo" this is coming from a contrarian user with exactly zero open-mindedness and tons of shitty negative nancy takes. almost got us there.Free Nelson Mandoomjazz Awakening of a CapitalGary Burton A Genuine Tong FuneralGene Wildest Spectral TerrestrialGeorge Clanton SlideGotsu Totsu Kotsu Retributive JusticeGrave Into the GraveH20$$$SPORTS$$$ YAYAYIwell ok then. dafuq is this and how come does no one know it XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDHiatus Kaiyote Mood ValiantJames Ferraro Suki GirlzKeiichi Okabe Nier Automata OSTWe like it here.

This work is transcendental in the way that at the end of it you're like "..................................................................................yes"Mammal Hands Captured SpiritsInsane album. Reminds you of the light breeze of the sea in just a few notes.Melt-Banana FetchMerzbow 1930Meshuggah obZenI don't think there is a better consecration of their sound on most of the songs. This records follows their sonic aesthetic the best, with mechanical precision, cerebral rhythmics, cold, sterile production, furious walls of sound, and so on. However, a couple moments like at the end of Lethargica kinda just sound... unimaginative.Meshuggah KolossSnakefinger Chewing Hides The SoundSoundtrack (Video Game) Fight Songs: The Music of Team Fortress 2Classy, slick music, to complement the goofiest multiplayer FPS I've played.System of a Down Steal This Album!t e l e p a t h ???????? 一緒に別の夜This is how you make boss music in the realm of vaporwave x ambient.Telepath and Hong Kong Express 愛慕 ／ 悲哀Test Dept.

Dante Mars Ajeto!

Super fap material for my ears.Eminem The Eminem ShowEstradasphere It's UnderstoodThere are stupid or overblown moments on this, but first of all, it's still über fun, and overall this filled my craving for weird Balkanian prog pretty well. Fabio (Hard Set), April '94When Cyclotron gives it a 3.0, you know it's great.Failure Fantastic PlanetI used to think this had too much filler. I was dumb. The songwriting admittedly isn't the best, and there is a minor difference in quality between the first and second half, but otherwise that's it. This album is most certainly a great 90s rock album, full of grunge bangers with a unique twist you'll only ever hear from Failure. Saying it's worth a listen would be an understatement.

Joe Hisaishi Princess Mononokegoddamit why is it that I am so inexplicably trapped in the emotion of Joe Hisaishi's melodies? First time I listened to the FIRST track, I was on the verge of crying. And the impossibly strong nostalgia I have from watching the film does not help. In a good way.rEdit: damn this grew off me pretty hard but still an epic albumJoe Hisaishi Castle In The SkyJoe Hisaishi Spirited AwayKrzysztof Komeda AstigmaticLa Femme Psycho Tropical BerlinThis is pretty great but the lyrics can get a little over-the-top.Lakker TundraMachine Girl U-Void SynthesizerMachine Girl ...BECAUSE I'M YOUNG ARROGANT AND HATE EVERYTHINGMarilyn Manson Antichrist SuperstarMassive Attack MezzanineMega Drive 198XADAhhhhh, Mega Drive. You produce absolute bangers, and your influence within synthwave is almost equivalent to artists like Perturbator or Carpenter Brut; yet somehow, your songwriting skills are mediocre at best.

"Sickening", "Humiliative" and "Ritual" are clear highlights.Michael Gordon TranceA bit too predictable at times, but otherwise this is a finely made, weird as fuck record.Michael Jackson ThrillerGenuinely great, tons of fun, catchy songwriting, Billie Jean taking the crown for the best on the album, but unfortunately there is also a lot of filler, namely on Wanna Be Starting Something with its overly repetitive structure.Michael Jackson Off the WallMick Gordon Doom OST"Just sounds like robots and laser sounds, not really music imo and DEFINITELY not metal,it's more like heavy techno/industrial idk,is rubbish the correct term?"

Not the bestest selection but hey at least there's Kindred and shit.C Z A R I N A Painted HologramsInnovative synthwave, seamlessly blending an eclectic range of styles into one shimmering, tight, and colorful package, with great performances and top-notch production. However, despite a great vocal performance, the vocals are not for everyone, and the lyrics are... cliche, to say the least. Additionally, I felt there were some inconsistencies in the songwriting. Just my opinion though.Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Trout Mask ReplicaEh. Pretty gud but, without wanting to sound like a wanker, it's not as great as people make it out to be.Casiopea CasiopeaHmmm. Catchy jazz fusion, with high technical proficiency. The easy listening side to it does make it cheesy though.Chuck Person Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1Along with "Far Side Virtual" and "Floral Shoppe" among others, this proto-vapor album was one of the cores which fueled Vaporwave's initial growth. A few of the ideas aged badly over the course of the genre's evolution, but, just like the other proto-vapor releases, its existence will forever be essential in music history.clipping.
