Horribly dark and depressing indie/emo, but well done. The album covers topics such as infedelity, alcoholism, depression, and heartbreak. Not really my cup of tea, I typically like my music to pick me up, not depress me, but I get why it exists. Well done for what it is. Reminds me a bit of Alkaline Trio.

Favourite songs: Rapture, Second Best, Priests and Paramedics, Indian Summer

This singer is certainly upset about something. I have no idea what he's shouting about, but he's putting 110% into it, that's for sure!

As metalcore bands go, this is one of the more accessible ones, but metalcore still has the ability of giving me a headache after 30 mins or so.

There is indeed a lot of passion in this music. It's quite literally a sensory attack. And that's the point. It isn't supposed to be light and fluffy. It's supposed to be abrasive and hard.

Overall, not something I'd spin too often, but I can appreciate why it's here.

Favourite songs: Homewrecker, Fault and Fracture, The Broken Vow

Who has 4 stereos that they can rig up to play 4 separate albums in perfect sync? Just mix the album yourselves you pretentious hipster ass hats. This right here is why I hate indie music so fucking much. Everyone is celebrating these tools for being complete and utter pylons. This isn't art, it's a dumpster fire.

I certainly don't have the thousands of dollars worth of required equipment to listen to this album properly, but thankfully someone on YouTube has the fully mixed 4 cd's as a playlist. Props to them for doing something that these complete morons couldn't do in the studio.

When listened to "one cd at a time", you're left with incomplete subsections of songs that are disjointed and odd. Stuck together and layered, you're left with an absolute assault on the senses. There are so many layers all playing at once that it is just a jumbled mess. That, plus the singer couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

This is easily one of the worst things I've ever had the misfortune of listening to. This isn't music, it's noise. Please, no more Flaming Lips recommendations. I feel like 3 albums is enough. Sadly, I didn't mind the first two albums, but this...... This is fucking atrocious. Whoever thinks this is music needs to be on an FBI watch list.

I just noticed that there is literally a warning on the album cover that states: This recording contains frequencies not normally heard on commercial recordings, and on rare occasions has caused the listener to become disoriented". This album is quite literally Sonic terrorism. Conveniently, I was able to maintain all my faculties (probably because any disorientation was completely overwritten by absolute rage).

Favourite songs: The Big Ol' Bug is the New Baby Now.... I guess?

Least favourite songs: this whole stupid fucking album

Argentine rock. I'd say it's their version of psychadelic or blues rock. Apparently this album is actually a solo effort by band singer Luis Alberto Spinetta, and it was released very shortly after the band broke up, but because of legal issues, it had to be credited to the whole band. Super experimental. I was excited to be exposed to what was happening on the Argentine rock music scene in the 70's (not a phrase I thought I'd ever utter.... I didn't even know Argentina had a rock scene in the 70's).

That album was super cool. Super interesting

Favourite songs: Las Habladurias Del Mundo, Bajan, Cementerio Club, Todas Las Hojas Son Del Viento, Cantana de Puentes Amarillos

Least favourite songs: La Sed Verdadera, "A Starosta, El Idiota"
