Could you review this? IT's honestly one of my favorite albums, and I love to see how other people like it. Just so much beautiful music.

I'd like to see a review of Alcest's "Les voyages de l'âme." Not my favorite of 2012 (that'd be "The Seer" (HIGH FIVE MOOG)), but in my opinion, still memorable.

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

I couldn't care less if you decided to copy me or not. Though anyways bro, can you do a review of The Seer by Swans, it was my favorite album of 2012.

 

I'd like to see a review of Alcest's "Les voyages de l'âme." Not my favorite of 2012 (that'd be "The Seer" (HIGH FIVE MOOG)), but in my opinion, still memorable.

I downloaded The Seer so It better be good.

 

 

Oh well, if there's a slot available, I'd like you too review "Furious Lolicore!!!". It's a more of a co-lab EP featuring 3 different artists, but are you okay with that?

 

 

There's only a playlist available on Youtube, but it's easy to access. Click on the link and click on the second result (or the first, depending if you get an ad video as the first result. In that case: The first playlist you see). That's the entire album

I'll review those don't worry. I'm just taking a break because I typed up 4 reviews (3 technically) and I haven't been feeling very well today.

 

Claustration 1 by Vomir (2007)

There's no other way to describe this, it's just noise. It sounds just like when you stick your head out of the window of a car, and it's like that for an hour. I started playing this and I forgot all about it, so it serves as good background music. I sat through the whole thing, and unlike Monstercat this is actually enjoyable to a mild extent. Monstercat is awful noise, this is art.

 

Track Listing: 

1. Clausteration I

 

I would probably put this in the background, just for the lulz.

Overall: 3/5

 

South of Heaven by Slayer (1988)

Unlike my previous reviews, I'm very familiar with Slayer. I'm a huge fan of Slayer, actually. South of Heaven has a more melodic sound compared to it's predecessors. You can easily tell just by listening to Tom Araya's vocals. Songs like "Silent Scream" and "Spill the Blood" are almost in a way proto-melodic death metal. That's the kinda of vibe this album gives me. The distortion on the guitars sound nice and Dave Lombardo's drumming is top-notch. Although, I do prefer previous Slayer albums like Reign in Blood and Show No Mercy over South of Heaven. South of Heaven is in a way, Reign in Blood's more melodic and more docile counterpart.

 

Track Listing:

1. "South of Heaven"  

2. "Silent Scream"  

3. "Live Undead"  

4. "Behind the Crooked Cross"  

5. "Mandatory Suicide"  

6. "Ghosts of War"  

7. "Read Between the Lies"  

8. "Cleanse the Soul"  

9. "Dissident Aggressor" 

10. "Spill the Blood"  

 

This is an album I do enjoy in my spare time.

Overall: 4.5/5

I enjoyed the review you did of RAM, and it was cool that you've never listened to something like them before yet still found some enjoyment out of it. Just to forewarn though, if you want to look more into Daft Punk, the album that sounds closest to RAM is Discovery. 

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins (1991)

 

The last time I listened to this album was a while back, so this is a nice refresher. If there's one thing I like about Siamese Dream, it's their use of fuzz. They sure did give their Bigmuffs the maximum output. The song "Cherub Rock" starts of quiet and then BOOM, fuzz. This is a very fuzzy album, there's no arguing that. It safe to say that I enjoyed every song off of this album. My only gripe with this album is how long it feels. At 62 minutes, it's fairly lengthy but it feels like something that's at least 80 minutes. My favorite song off this album is "Cherub Rock", "Today" and "Geek U.S.A." are also some of my favorites.

 

Track Listing:

1. "Cherub Rock"  

2. "Quiet"  

3. "Today"  

4. "Hummer"  

5. "Rocket"  

6. "Disarm"  

7. "Soma"  

8. "Geek U.S.A."  

9. "Mayonaise"  

10. "Spaceboy"  

11. "Silverfuck"  

12. "Sweet Sweet"  

13. "Luna"  

 

This is an album that I would listen to every now and then

Overall: 4.5/5

Review The Money Store by Death Grips. I'm not sure if you've heard of them but I'm just really interested in what you think of them.

 

Oh and just a heads up, their music might take more than just one listen to get into.

Hmm, since you dislike Monstercat (y u no liek mi moozik> ), what about Radiohead's 'OK Computer'?

Please give it a 100% honest rating.

Dawn's listened to Death Grips a couple of times before, though I personally would of recommended him to No Love Deep Web since that album has a bit of a darker sound to it which would appeal to Dawn more.

 

 

what about Radiohead's 'OK Computer'? 

 

I doubt he'd say no to that

I've heard a few Death Grips songs, they're alright.

Well that's something that I've listened to many times

 

Please give it a 100% honest rating.

All my reviews have been 100% honest and unbiased, even the Monstercat one. 

 

I doubt he'd say no to that

You are correct sir.

So will you review the album? I'd like you to review either The Money Store or No Love Deep Web.

The Money Store is currently my favorite but No Love Deep Web is quickly growing on me.

Actually my current favorite is Exmilitary with No Love Deep Web in a close second, it used to be No Love Deep Web as my #1 but I became more of a fan for Exmilitary, regardless The Money Store is still a damn good album.

I like The Money Store the most because the hooks are just so damn catchy. And I just love the fucked up nature of all of Death Grips' music. I like Exmilitary too but it's my least favorite. Maybe I just need to listen to it again.

I apologize for my absence, I'll try reviewing Rage Against the Machine's self-titled ASAP. Except I'll be busy tomorrow, but I'll get my stuff done soon.

Rage Against the Machine by Rage Against the Machine (1992)

Rage Against the Machine are one of the very few bands that can combine rapping and distorted guitar riffs, and not sound like garbage. This album proves that, the way Zack raps is very well done. He delivers really well thought out lyrics and he's and all around great vocalist. I also think Tom does a great job on guitar. If there's one thing I like about RATM, it's Tom's ability to get really funky and creative with a guitar. I do have a couple of minor gripes with this album. The first one is that the album feels a bit short, it's 52 minutes it shouldn't feel so short. I also don't think it's as great as some people say it is.

Track Listing:

1. "Bombtrack"  

2. "Killing in the Name"  

3. "Take the Power Back"  

4. "Settle for Nothing"  

5. "Bullet in the Head"  

6. "Know Your Enemy" 

7. "Wake Up"  

8. "Fistful of Steel"  

9. "Township Rebellion"  

10. "Freedom"  

Overall 4/5

This is an album I would listen to on occasion.

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

The Seer by Swans (2012)

Going into my review I just want to say that this is by far the longest album that I've reviewed.  Not one but THREE songs on here go beyond the 15 minute mark. In fact, the tittle track is 32 minutes long. This is a really hard album to describe. I guess the best way to describe it would be Avant-Garde. It's very dark, very noisy, very mysterious. The way this album starts off is very slow but, then it kicks up to speed. Once it kicked up to speed, I was able to start enjoying it. I think it's safe to say that I enjoyed the second half of this album more than the first.

Track Listing:

DISC 1

1. "Lunacy" 

2. "Mother of the World"  

3. "The Wolf"  

4. "The Seer"  

5. "The Seer Returns" 

6. "93 Ave. B Blues"  

7. "The Daughter Brings the Water"

DISC 2

8. "Song for a Warrior" 

9. "Avatar"  

10. "A Piece of the Sky" 

11. "The Apostate"  

 

Overall 4/5

This is an album I may listen to in my free time.

[cd_solidsnake 122]

Ok, I have my own petition now.

 

As I want to put a little bit of challenge, I'll definitely choose something kind of unexpected. So...

 

I ask you to review "Arabian Horse" by GusGus, released in 2011 by Kompakt label [Cat#: KOMPAKT89CD]

 

Now, I really would like you to not look for further information about this album and the group. I love first impressions and that is what I truly want here.

Please no, stop. I'm busy, I have to review FIVE other albums. I'm not going to sit through an hour-long house album. I might do it later, but I've got other stuff to review first.

Well, it is not exactly House (at least not your typical shallow House music album), but I understand. When you have time, then consider it (if you're willing).

 

Take care

Electronic music isn't really my thing, unless it's something like Boards of Canada or Aphex Twin. The majority of what I've reviewed so far would be electronic.

[cd_solidsnake 122]

I love Aphex Twin. Also Autechre. I promise I will never ask you to review something as dumb as David Guetta.

 

Anyway, Glad to know you love Boards of Canada D:
