I did this one https://nocurfewkids.bandcamp.com/al...-loves-you-too

Starts with a jumble of percussive nonsense and highly distorted vocals, short track that doesn't have much to cling on to. Some more ultra feedback into this Van Halen cover, still very distorted with somewhat more distinguishable vocals spoofing the original song. Not all that fantastic but it did make me feel like you could do something awesome with that song and some mad noise. Perhaps not so much here with replay value but it could be something.

The next track is most likely the best, starting with vocals and descending into a more textured drone track that manages to keep interest for the whole duration, with just enough nuance making it a standout. It's pretty harsh and loud still but not as much as other tracks here, and I prefer it that way when it comes to drone and noise. Texture over bombast.

the next song has some more variety with glitchy beats that I'm unsure are electro or just ad libbed underneath all the harshness, which also changes throughout to keep it interesting again. Back into some fuzzed out vox sounding a lot like everything else so far, but a little bit after halfway into this track it dips into the "softer" harsh noise. I gotta say I'm not the hugest fan of noise music like a lot of it here, with overbearing loudness and static, but I'm happy that it's not that way for 100% of the album. Now I'm gonna contradict myself onto track 6, which is super loud and super noise and super cool. I guess it just has to have at least some sense of variety, however light it may be. So changing textures, timbres, and pitches keep the loud tracks nice when they can.

The next is more quiet sounding indeterminate drone with random blasts of whatsit here and there. Not too interesting, but it's kinda fine. It reminds me of musique concrete I've made a while ago but better quality. I mean, it's not super clean by any means, mine was just so so bad.

The last two sub 30 second tracks are ultimately disposable and I dunno really what to say about em. Vox and noise like we've heard before.

So I didn't hear much of anything that really astounded me but for being a no(ise)velty little album I guess it works. Can definitely stand to be expanded upon. Like a lot. It wasn't overly offensive either though.

Fair criticisms, I thought it turned out very well for an album I spent little effort in while bored over the course of a weekend. The beats in track 4 and 7 and actually beatboxing. All the noise was created from rendering my own voice in static, which you can see live in action hereeeee

I love it when you never review albums.

I'm a busy guy. I have good intentions but the worst memory on the planet when it comes to these things. I usually end up reviewing the album every other time but it's always a month or two too late.
