Northlane - Obsidian

Author: Kadeem A. Foxtrot
GENRE: Progressive Metalcore
LABEL: UNFD
REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
Well, let me tell you, dear readers, this album is an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a prog-metalcore burrito.

Obsidian, the latest offering from Australian band Northlane, is a sonic journey that will leave you feeling like you've just been through a blacksmith's forge. But is it actually good? That's the question on everyone's minds. Well, let me tell you, dear readers, this album is an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a prog-metalcore burrito.

With its heavy riffs and intricate time signatures, Obsidian is clearly a product of meticulous musicianship. But does that make it enjoyable to listen to? I'm not so sure. It's as if the band is trying to prove their technical prowess, but at the expense of catchy melodies or memorable hooks. It's like watching a chef prepare a meal with the finest ingredients, but instead of creating a delicious dish, they serve you a cold, bland salad.

Now, before you accuse me of being a metalcore hater, let me say that I appreciate the genre. I just don't appreciate it when bands try to shoehorn in every prog-metal element they can think of, without regard for the listener's experience. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we can play all these crazy time signatures, so we're going to, whether you like it or not."

In conclusion, Obsidian is a technically impressive album that may appeal to fans of complex song structures and heavy breakdowns. But for those of us who crave a little melody and songwriting finesse, it falls short. Northlane has the potential to create truly great music, but they need to loosen their grip on their prog-metal fixation and embrace the art of songcraft

Kanye West - I’m A Nazi

GENRE: Political Satire Hip-Hop
LABEL: Controversy Records
REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
It's a shame that some listeners may miss the irony and take the lyrics at face value, but that's the risk of satire.

Kanye West is back with his latest offering, "I'm A Nazi," and it's clear that the controversial rapper has not lost his touch for stirring up a storm. The album, which clocks in at a brief 22 minutes, is a biting and satirical take on the current political climate and the rampant nationalism that has taken hold in some corners of society.

From the opening track "MAGA Monster" to the closing anthem "White Power Ballad," West pulls no punches in his critique of the alt-right movement and its embrace of fascist ideology. The beats are minimal and the lyrics are sharp, with West's trademark wit on full display. It's a shame that some listeners may miss the irony and take the lyrics at face value, but that's the risk of satire.

While "I'm A Nazi" is undoubtedly a bold artistic statement, it falls short in some areas. The brevity of the album leaves little room for exploration of the themes and ideas presented, and some of the tracks feel underdeveloped. Additionally, West's use of swastikas and other Nazi imagery may be off-putting for some listeners, even if it is intended to mock the symbols.

Overall, "I'm A Nazi" is a provocative and challenging work that will undoubtedly spark discussion and debate. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to engage with the ideas presented, it offers a thought-provoking commentary on the state of the world today. Kanye West may be a polarizing figure, but there's no denying his talent and his willingness to take risks.

Well I'm proud of Remy Lacroix finally branching out from p***, good for her

It's as if the artist took every sound effect in their library and threw them into a blender, then added some abstract poetry about the plight of the modern man.

When it comes to experimental hip-hop, one has to tread the fine line between innovative genius and pretentious nonsense. And while @p_p's latest offering on ktt2.com certainly falls into the latter category, there's no denying the sheer audacity of this concoction. It's as if the artist took every sound effect in their library and threw them into a blender, then added some abstract poetry about the plight of the modern man. The end result is a sonic smoothie that's hard to swallow but impossible to ignore.

From the opening track, "Elevator Music for the Existential Crisis," it's clear that @p_p is not interested in making music for the masses. This is music for the intellectual elite, the ones who can appreciate the layers of meaning behind every glitchy beat and garbled voice sample. But for all its posturing, there are moments of genuine brilliance here. "The Sound of One Hand Clapping in a Vacuum" is a haunting meditation on the nature of solitude, while "The Noise That a Tree Makes When It Falls in a Forest With No One Around to Hear It" is a whimsical exploration of the limits of perception.

Of course, not every experiment is a success. "A Symphony for Car Alarms and Jackhammers" is a grating assault on the senses, while "My Existential Dread Is Bigger Than Your Existential Dread" feels like a parody of itself. But even in its missteps, @p_p's work is always daring and unpredictable. This is not music for the faint of heart, but for those who are willing to take a chance on something truly unique, it's worth a listen. Just don't expect to be tapping your foot along to the beat.

Travis Scott - Utopia

4.7
Author: Galaxia Stardust
GENRE: Space Trap
LABEL: AstroWorld Records
REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
This track is one small step for man, but a giant leap for Travis Scott's creativity.
Travis Scott's highly anticipated album, Utopia, has finally landed on earth and it's not exactly out of this world. The Houston rapper's fifth studio album is nothing but an overhyped gravitational pull towards mediocrity.

From the very first track, it's clear that Scott is stuck in his own orbit - relying on the same auto-tuned croons and spacey beats that we've heard on his previous releases. It feels like he's trying to take us on a journey to the stars, but we're just left spinning in circles.

One of the few bright spots on Utopia is "Mars Mission," which features a guest verse from Elon Musk. This track is one small step for man, but a giant leap for Travis Scott's creativity. The rest of the album, however, lacks any sort of innovation or ambition.

Scott's obsession with his own brand of astrophysics has become tiresome. It's time for him to come back down to earth and explore new sounds and ideas. Utopia is a forgettable record that fails to leave a lasting impact. Save your rocket fuel and skip this one.

At times, My Bulge feels like a stream-of-consciousness ramble through the depths of SbMike's psyche.

SBMike's latest release, My Bulge, is a fascinating journey through the mind of a talented and deranged artist. The album is a true testament to the power of experimentation and the limits of the human ego. With a sound that is equal parts avant-garde hip-hop and inner-monologue, SbMike has crafted a record that is simultaneously pretentious and hilarious.

At times, My Bulge feels like a stream-of-consciousness ramble through the depths of SbMike's psyche. The lyrics are filled with absurdist imagery and nonsensical wordplay, yet there is a sense of purpose to it all. The beats, too, are a jumbled mess of sounds and samples, but somehow they all come together in a way that is both sonically pleasing and disorienting.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "My Bulge (feat. Lil B)," a song that manages to be both a tongue-in-cheek ode to male genitalia and a commentary on the hyper-masculine culture of hip-hop. SbMike's deadpan delivery and Lil B's gleeful absurdity make for a truly unforgettable listening experience.

Overall, My Bulge is a challenging and rewarding work that is sure to divide listeners. Some will find it pretentious and self-indulgent, while others will revel in its absurdity and innovation. Either way, there is no denying that SbMike has created something truly unique with this album.

Joe Biden's Presidency

GENRE: Presidential Politics
LABEL: White House Records
REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
Sure, he's not as bad as some politicians out there (I'm looking at you, Ted Cruz), but is that really setting the bar very high?

Joe Biden's presidency has been a wild ride so far. With his folksy charm and decades of experience, he's managed to win over many voters who were tired of the bombastic and divisive rhetoric of his predecessor. But is he really living up to the hype? As a seasoned political a***yst and general know-it-all, I have to say that I'm not entirely convinced.

First of all, let's talk about his fashion sense. I mean, come on Joe, you're the leader of the free world now. Can't you at least invest in a decent pair of shoes? And those aviator sunglasses? Please. They may have been cool in the 80s, but this is 2021. Get with the times, man.

And then there's his policy decisions. While I appreciate his efforts to tackle issues like climate change and healthcare reform, I can't help but feel like he's playing it safe. Where's the bold, visionary leadership that we were promised? Sure, he's not as bad as some politicians out there (I'm looking at you, Ted Cruz), but is that really setting the bar very high?

Overall, I'd give Joe Biden's presidency a solid 6 out of 10. He's not a complete disaster, but he's not exactly blowing my mind either. Maybe he'll surprise me in the coming years, but for now, I'm just hoping he'll invest in a better wardrobe.

Pusha T - Daytona 2 : The Son Of Daytona

REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
O.

Pusha T, the self-proclaimed king of cocaine-rap, is back with his highly anticipated sequel "Daytona 2: The Son of Daytona". This album, produced entirely by Kanye West, is a masterpiece in modern hip-hop - but we knew that already, right?

The album opens with "Intro", an unremarkable track that sets the tone for the rest of the album: predictable beats and cliche lyrics about d*** dealing. However, things pick up with "Sociopath", featuring a killer verse from guest artist Tyler, the Creator. Pusha T's flow is as sharp as ever, but it's hard to ignore the fact that he's still rapping about the same topics he was in the early 2000s.

"Coming Home" is a highlight of the album, with a catchy hook and a soulful sample. However, it's clear that Pusha T is pandering to the mainstream with this one, and it ultimately falls flat. "Palmolive" featuring Madlib and Killer Mike is a moment of brilliance, showcasing Pusha T's lyrical prowess in a way that's refreshing and unexpected.

Overall, "Daytona 2: The Son of Daytona" is a solid addition to Pusha T's discography, but it's hard not to feel like we've heard it all before. Pusha T is a talented rapper, but it's time for him to move beyond rapping about d*** dealing and start exploring new themes and sounds. Until then, we'll have to settle for a slightly underwhelming but still enjoyable album.

Mao Zedong's Regime In The People's Republic Of China

2.3
Author: Xianming Zhou
GENRE: Socialist Realism
LABEL: The Communist Party of China
REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
The sparse instrumentation, coupled with Mao's emotive delivery, create a truly moving experience.

Mao Zedong's regime in the People's Republic of China is a mixed bag of lyrical triumph and cacophonous folly. This ambitious project, released in 1949, certainly showcases Mao's unbridled creativity and vision for a new China, but also exposes his glaring weaknesses as a leader and artist.

The opening track, "The Great Leap Forward," is an epic anthem that sets the stage for the entire album. Mao's powerful vocals soar over a booming orchestra, declaring his bold plan to modernize and industrialize China. However, subsequent tracks like "The Cultural Revolution" and "The Hundred Flowers Campaign" reveal a lack of subtlety and restraint, with Mao's vocals becoming shrill and repetitive.

One of the standout moments on the album is the haunting ballad "The Long March," which captures the struggles and sacrifices of Mao's army during their historic journey across China. The sparse instrumentation, coupled with Mao's emotive delivery, create a truly moving experience. However, tracks like "The Anti-Rightist Campaign" and "The Four Pests Campaign" feel like throwaway tracks, lacking any real depth or artistic merit.

Overall, Mao Zedong's regime in the People's Republic of China is a bold and ambitious project that falls short of its potential. Mao's penchant for grandiose gestures and lack of self-awareness result in a flawed and uneven album. At times, it's a fascinating listen, but ultimately, it's a forgettable addition to the socialist realism canon.

Frank Ocean - I Hate My Fans

Author: Balthazar Leopold von Habsburg III
GENRE: Experimental Hip-Hop
LABEL: Self-Released
REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
This is especially true on tracks like "Narcissistic" and "Ego Trip.

Frank Ocean's latest release, "I Hate My Fans," is a true masterpiece of experimental hip-hop. With its raw and honest lyrics and intricate beats, it pushes the boundaries of the genre and challenges listeners to think beyond the mainstream. But despite its many strengths, this album is not without its flaws.

One of the biggest issues with "I Hate My Fans" is its pretentiousness. Frank Ocean seems to be trying too hard to be edgy and avant-garde, and it sometimes comes across as forced and contrived. The album's title alone is enough to make one roll their eyes in exasperation.

Furthermore, the production on this record can be overwhelming at times. The layers upon layers of sound can be difficult to parse, and it often feels like there is too much going on for the listener to fully appreciate the individual elements. This is especially true on tracks like "Narcissistic" and "Ego Trip."

Despite these flaws, however, "I Hate My Fans" is a must-listen for anyone who is a fan of experimental hip-hop. Frank Ocean's boldness and creativity are to be commended, and it is clear that he is pushing the envelope of what is possible in this genre. This album may not be for everyone, but for those who are willing to take the plunge, it is a rewarding and unforgettable experience.

"Artistically on a killing spree, I'm Damien Hirst"🫣

Starting things off British- not very promising. I'm already familiar with Lancey, but I haven't checked in as much since rage became trendy. As for how "underground" he is- he's signed to a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. I guess we're using the Melz definition of underground.

At 22 tracks, and with unintelligle or negligible lyrics, this is all about the melodies and beats.There’s a lot of meandering baby voice. None of this is fatal- but is there enough personality to get it over the hump? Thugger, Future, Yeat. The Looney Tune, the womanizer, the tweaker. Who is Lancey? I still have no idea.

I'll say this, he is more polished and flexible than a lot of guys in this lane. He's always had a professional sounding product, and he's more ambitious on this record than the average Opium peon. He knows how to write a song. He can make World on Fire and Pendulum and Lies Will Set You Free. He's a descendant of Ye, of Trav, of Carti the innovator as opposed to Carti the guy who just made WLR. I wouldn't call Lancey a rage beat anime YouTube thumbnail rapper at all really.

He is, however, kind of anonymous in the same way someone like Tory Lanez is: clearly talented but endlessly derivative. Tracks like Ride Til You Die are laughably late to the vaporwave and retro wave party- which isn’t to call them bad. This is just not a rap album. It’s not. He’s got next to no bars. He plugs in a few purer songs at the end which make Carti/Keem/Yeat sound like Nas. There’s not even a reason to pull the lyrics up and read them.

This is a lookbook. It’s a showreel. It’s mercifully diverse and well made. The vibes and textures are on point

Thom Yorke And Tay Keith - ThomKeith

3.1
Author: Gideon Sparkles
GENRE: Experimental Hip Hop
LABEL: XL Recordings
REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
Overall, "ThomKeith" is a bizarre and ultimately unsatisfying listen.
In a surprising and potentially disastrous collaboration, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and producer Tay Keith have joined forces for a new project entitled "ThomKeith". The resulting album is a bewildering mix of experimental hip hop, moody electronica and Yorke's trademark tortured wailing. It's a strange concoction that will leave you scratching your head and wondering what the hell you just listened to.

Let's give credit where credit is due: Tay Keith's production is solid throughout the album. He manages to create a sonic landscape that's both unsettling and intriguing. Unfortunately, Yorke's lyrics and delivery aren't quite up to par. The singer seems to be trying a little too hard to be relevant and edgy, and it comes off as a little forced. Lines like "It's hard to be king when you're covered in bees" and "I'm a robot and I'm okay with that" feel more like cheap attempts at humor than profound insights.

Overall, "ThomKeith" is a bizarre and ultimately unsatisfying listen. It's as if two talented musicians got together, had a few drinks, and decided to make an album on a dare. While there are a few interesting moments scattered throughout the record, they're not enough to make up for the overall lack of coherence and direction. Maybe Yorke and Keith should stick to their respective lanes instead of trying to merge them together in such a haphazard way.

it doesnt rly take the title into consideration it just makes a generic review of the artist

John Lennon And Wheezy - S***

GENRE: Experimental Hip-Hop
LABEL: MumbleRap Records
REVIEWED: June 1, 2023
The duo's use of unconventional beats and auto-tuned vocals creates an avant-garde soundscape that both challenges and confuses the listener.
John Lennon and Wheezy's collaboration album "Shit" is a perfect example of the current state of experimental hip-hop. The duo's use of unconventional beats and auto-tuned vocals creates an avant-garde soundscape that both challenges and confuses the listener. However, at times it feels like the experimentation was done just for the sake of being different, rather than adding any real value to the music.

The album's greatest strength is its ability to evoke a wide range of emotions, from amusement to irritation. Tracks like "Lucy in the Sky with Lean" and "Imagine Dragons on Molly" are lighthearted and fun, while others like "Yoko's Screams" and "Revolution 69" come off as pretentious and self-indulgent. It's clear that Lennon and Wheezy were more concerned with making a statement than creating cohesive music.

Despite the album's flaws, it's hard to deny the talent of both artists. Lennon's poetic lyrics and Wheezy's production skills are undeniable. However, it feels as if they tried too hard to be "out there" instead of focusing on making a great album. "S***" is worth a listen for those interested in the experimental hip-hop scene, but for everyone else, it may be best to stick with the classics.
