The Batlord

The hell else would you ever want anyone to sing about? A trashy white chick quasi-rapping about throwing up in Paris Hilton's closet is genius.

Great job!

I couldn't even tell you the album I heard from them but, I know it was way, way back in like at the most 2002 - 2003 maybe even before that. It's also nice to see that they didn't bend to trying to fit in with modern music. Passport of Depravity I didn't give a five because, like some of the other songs it's just not completely clear. Which is fine but, that's just my opinion after all. I actually found The Dead Milkmen searching for The Dead Kennedys funny enough.

Obviously it sells. Here's the thing. I like Kesha. I tend to like her music, more so when I'm blackout wasted. Her title album was really good and then the next one came. It sounds just like the first one and then the next. She's just playing it safe I wish she would branch out. That song is hilarious though.

I feel like I should get down and say I'm (we're) not worthy.
I'm getting a lot of fantastic recs and hope to keep this going for a long time. When college starts it might be a little slower but, I'll still try to at least do an album a day. That is, as long as people still rec to me lol.

Tin Hat - The Sad Machinery of Spring

Ok, ok bare with me but, I really went some place I don't even
know listening to this album. It might not make sense and just
sound like psycho babble but, I just couldn't stop.

1. Old World

You know those movies that are set in the future? Like after
say maybe, the apocalypse? That's kind of what this makes me
think of. Sweet sinister music that walks you through a tragedy.
Not sinister in the sence of evil but, in the sense of taking
you down a path where there's millions of homeless. Technology
has been destroyed and there's little hope left. Part of that
may already be true. They music is sinsterly beautiful.
5 stars

2. The Secret Fluid of Dusk

Wonderful acoustics and cello? Some other string instrument.
I've already started to create this post apocalyptic world.
There's a child gathering dirty water to later be filtered. It
might be poisionous from the toxins. But, he/she sees it as a
fun game because, in this world there's no computers or maybe
even few books or games to entertain oneself. The children do
their best to enjoy their life as it is but, they wouldn't know
different anyway.
5 stars

3. Blind Paper Dragon

Love this opening. There's creatures made from water too. They
mutated from something over years of pollution and new
discoveries. Sometimes the water people are hunted but, they
are protected by monsters the humans call paper dragons. They
aren't actually made of paper though. They just have thin
paper like scales.
4.5 stars

4. Dionysus

There's a young water hunter. He's stalking one of the water
creatures. They move in a funny way. They kind of just sloosh
around. He's a silly little thing. He might even be as young as
the hunter. And just as the hunter raised his extraction device
he sees more water creatures. The embrace. There's small ones
ones that seem like elders that move in more poise. He can't
bring himself to do anything.
5 stars

5. Daisy Bell

Ring, ring the bell of the little girl's bike goes. It's all
half broken. She doesn't mind though. Her nickname is Daisy
because, she likes to collect flowers. People try not to mind
even though flowers are really rare. They'll most likely die
off anyway. The vocals on this track are wonderful. The track
itself is. It's a really nice twist on a classic.
5 stars

6. Drawing Lessons

The young hunter never wanted to be a hunter in the first place
his father was one. He hated his father. A muscle bound man
that did nothing but, drink cheaply made faux booze that were
more like drugs. He wanted to create things. Unheard of how
would he survive? No one wants to trade for useless are in this
day and age. Still the boy would sneak off at night to spy in
the tin hut of a woman who often sketched on rocks. She would
every night. By the light of the toxic purple sky. In her roofless hut.
He would daydream about some day doing the same.
4 stars

7. The Book

His father in a rage found the boy's journal. If you could call
it that. It was basically an old book with writing between the
lines that were already in it. Full of liquid poison he yelled
at the boy. How disappointed he was. How stupid he was to think
he would do anything with such a dream of being an artist.
4.5 stars


8. Dead Season

Daisy hates winter. Nothing grows. She's tried to make all
sorts of plants grow in the winter but, they just won't. She
doesn't worry about the fact there's little to no food or water.
all she wants to do is see new and different plants. In despair
she walks along a narrow path. She sees a boy running through
the broken down little buildings all made of parts of buildings
that used to exist at one time. He has a book in his hands. She
decides to try and run after him.
4 stars

9. Black Thursday

She catches up with the boy who is huddled in his knees crying.
There are bruises on his tear soaked face and his legs. He
notices her and quickly pulls knife from his sheath surprised
by her presence.
3.5 stars

10. The Tailor's Dummies

It starts to snow but, that isn't a good thing here. The snow
is toxic just like the sky. It's more like toxic ash that the
beautiful white treasure we once knew. They both know they need
to seek shelter most likely underground. They decide to trust
each other and head out twords the caves it's only a few
seconds away luckily. Though, the caves most likely have paper
dragons in them at this time. The water creatures aren't at all
bothered by any elements. They constantly stay liquid and pure.
The go inside the cave and talk for a little while.
5 stars

11. Dionysus II

The cave is dark, it's hard to see anything if you go in deeper
there are little crystals that reflect the light from outside
but, not if you go in deep. So they decide to stop before it
gets too dark.
4 stars

12. The Land of Perpetual Sleep

Little creatures they don't know the names of
slither and dance and move through the cave. They aren't
harmful at all so no one decided to pay them any mind. They're
just as silly as all the other creatures. Sometimes they will
jump off your shoulder or throw a small pebble. They boy, who
is inspired by them decides to pick up a rock and start to
sketch upon the cave walls. He didn't tell Daisy anything about
what had happened, about his dreams. Instead subconciously he
decided to show her. She feels less awkward, less afraid of
the surroundings. She watches in awe as he effortlessly
sketches out the cave creatures.
4 stars

13. Janissary Band

And just as the two are laughing and having a good time a paper
dragon appears. Both of their jaws drop. He's bigger than the
usual ones they see. Something is different though. He seems to
be moving in a different way. He sits like a cat sitting up and
looks at the children. They look back in horror and just as the
two turn to scream and run. He laughs. Hahaha. Hahaha. His
laughter is so loud it echos and shakes the cave. He opens up
his clawed hand and a morphus blob of water is inside of it.
4 stars

14. The Comet

The two look on in shock and atonishment as the dragon throws
water ball after water ball into the air and they explode into
something like raindrops. They feel clean on the children's
naked skin. It feels so pure. Then, as they close their eyes a
strange light glows they can tell that there is something there
quickly opening their eyes. The creatures are glowing. The
small uknown ones. The paper dragons. Even some water creatures
come out to join all glowing brilliant multiple colors like the
rays of comets. They all share the gift the paper dragon has
provided and drink in the clean water. It feels like bliss. No
dirty filtered liquid they're used to. It's just a time to be
happy. To rejoice.
5 stars

15. Intractable

Years pass Daisy and the artist are nearly adults now. Long
ago they brought water, clean water back home and told people
of how the creatures meant them no harm in the first place.
But, when the people went to hunt the creatures and harvest the
water there was nothing there. And nothing changed. Still Daisy
and the artist would go to the cave alone to see if one day the
creatures would come back. They had all fled sick of having to
run away in fear. Maybe, one day Daisy and the artist can
teach a new generation better ways.
4 stars

Over all the album took me on a wild journey. I hope you
enjoy sharing it with me. I know it's a story but, that's kind
of just want happened so I stuck with it.

4.5 stars for this album over all.

I was really nervous to post this but, here it is.

grindy

Good one! Although the albums often gives me a quite different feeling, I can mostly see where you're coming from and it was simply fun to read.

I was a little unsure whether you'd like an instrumental and often somewhat weird album like that, but I'm happy to see you seem to have no problem with that at all.

It depends really. If I can feel the music then, I really like instrumentals. It's a lot better as an experience if I don't know what it's connected with. For example if someone posted a popular album used often in movies it would be a lot harder to feel out.

Glad you liked it! Woo that's the last album for the night. I'm drained.

Horror

This Heat - Deceit

I tried really hard to take in this album but, it just didn't hit me like it might
have for you just so you know before reading this.

1. Sleep

Really odd track. I'm honestly not sure what to think of it.
If I'm being honest I really don't like it. It's a little all
over the place. Then it just kind of ended. I decided to give it
two listens. Still kind of feel the same about it.
2 stars

2. Paper Hats

I might be the wrong person to review this album. It's really
experimental. Though, my biggest problem is the singer. He's
not really doing anything. Kind of monotone. Now he's screaming
and I wonder why. Everything isn't matched up right. If this is
one of your favorite albums I truely apologize.
2 stars

3. Triumph

Hahaha ok I love the kazoo that made me laugh a little but,
honestly I have no idea what this band is about. This sounds
like something from Stomp. You remember that? With the band
that would use everyday things as instruments? People not all
singing together. That really bothers me.
2 stars

4. S.P.Q.R

Suddenly it sounds like a proper song possibly. Am I just not
cool enough to understand this band? Maybe my ways are just too
defined. The things I like and dislike. I like this song the
best so far. It has good rhythm. I don't know why it has to all
fall apart at the end though.
3.5 stars

5. Cenotaph

Strange. I really don't know what to say about this song. It
sounds like the same vocal tone layered like three times? Sadly
it's not something I'm enjoying. Honestly the only thing I like
is the music behind the vocals.
1.5 stars

6. Shrinkwrap

Another odd one. Does this band do a lot of drugs? Maybe I'm
not on the level some people are that understand and love this
album that could be possible. I almost wonder if it would be so
bothersome to me if it had one element taken out. This one this
one just feels likes someone is yelling shrink wrap at me.
2 stars

7. Radio Prague

Is this a performance band? I'm trying to figure out the appeal
but, for me it's just, not working. The deeper I get into this
album the less I'm enjoying it. This one is just like a one
key beat and someone quickly changing channels on a tv or
something of the sort.
1.5 stars

8. Makeshift Swahili

A lot more interesting than most of the other tracks. This
whole album has this creepy vibe about it though. Like it's
supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. It's making me feel
that way anyway.
2 stars

9. Independence

I like how simple this one starts out but, we will see what
happens here. This one is a lot more enjoyable for me. The
simple guitar and drums. The ethnic little background sounds.
I'm not sure what they are. And now it's
3.5 stars

10. A New Kind of Water

Dark. Creepy. Glad I don't have all the lights off or I'd be
looking behind my shoulder. It sounds like some kind of
sacrificial ritual.

Oddly this is my favorite on the whole album. It's rather good.
Maybe it's because, it's not so out there. I really wish I
would have enjoyed this album more. Maybe, it's just beyond me.
4.5 stars

11. Hi Baku Shyo

At this point I'm like, alright then. It's something new at
least. I give this band props for pushing the envelop.
2.5 stars

So, over all let me tell you why I didn't exactly enjoy this.
I'm not one to like many male vocals in the first place and
when someone doesn't really vocalize it bothers me. I'm also
not a fan of really artistic takes on music sadly. I wish my
musical pallette was more versetile but, it's not. I'm sure
there are people out there that really adore this album well,
I don't happen to be one of them. We all have opinions right?
Anyway, thanks for the rec if anything it was a very interesting
listen. Maybe I'll revisit it when I go through more musical
trips.

The album as a whole for me is 2.5 stars I wanted to give it a
solid 3 but, I would be lying to myself.

Tristan_Geoff

That's my main problem with stuff like Two Steps From Hell. Look, I really like instrumentals, and I can stand classical sometimes. But when I hear Two Steps From Hell I feel like I'm watching a generic blackbuster movie trailer. I just get bored and want to change the channel, but can't. I don't get the appeal of that.

There is ONE song that's been used in like everything but, I still really love it. It's in Requiem for a Dream and also the LOTR trailer at some point but, since Requiem for a Dream is my second favorite movie, I really just think about that when I hear it and how heart breakingly realistic the ending was. Otherwise I agree with you a lot of trailers are cheesy as hell.

TechnicLePanther

Alright, because I want to ingrain myself in the community, I'll give you a rec that Trollheart refused because it's "too long":

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime


Make sure you get every side, there are a couple uploads on Youtube with only one side of the album.
(It's long, I know, but it's also one of the best albums I've ever heard.)
