cloudcover - Chrisland [YorkeDaddy]
The corny electronic music is alright for disposable whatever but who the **** is that singer? You? Your friend Jeff from down the way who you met in high school cause he had a Cure t-shirt? He sounds like he really likes Depeche Mode and could capture second place in a karaoke competition but he has zero personality or emotional depth. Were you too nice to tell him that it's just not working out and you need someone with "talent" cause you didn't want to contribute to his self-harm? This album wouldn't be so awful without him but he really calls attention to the bald amateurishness of this release and makes the music sound even more uninspired. I guess it was a good attempt to cover his lack of charisma by using the occasional vocoder effect but holy **** was it misguided. Maybe this is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek but there's a very fine line between that and ****ing retarded. Guess which side you drunkenly stumbled over. Parts of this album also reminds me of Radiohead at their most indistinct and that vocalist proves himself to be even less suited to the task, making it sound like some terrible side project of a 90s Midwest emo band that proved once and for all that the people involved in the movement were good for nothing but being boring teenagers with nothing to say about anything besides how much high school made them sad.

Hey if theres one thing that album is not its “amateur”. The production quality on that **** is pretty superb given we were 18, recording it by ourselves, and on a budget of like $200

He's probably talking about your songwriting or maybe your givens aren't good enough.

Would you call the songwriting on it “amateur” or just “not the genre you like”?

Monstrosity - Chaos [Plankton]
That four-minute intro seemed to say that you guys (I believe it was two of you) didn't have faith in your noodling to carry a track by itself so ya'll threw in some disposable instrumentation to save the track from complete uselessness. Should have cut about three-and-a-half minutes if that was the case. So the album proper: you got some halfway badass riffs tbh but nothing that truly grabs the balls or has energy so maybe you should stick with noodling. Seems to be more your speed, otherwise you're a dad rocking thrasher to be sure. The dad rock thrash vocalist sends this home at least 500%. Is this even bland thrash or just prog metal with a thrash edge cause hey ya'll were listening to that a few years before when the genre was still relevant so it must still be relevant but we're 36 and don't even know anymore lol |m|>_<|m|!!! Lol "terrorist ****s and extremist pigs" nice lyrics, Sargon of Thrashkkad. BTW please make the singer stop or send him to 90s Flotsam and Jetsam. ![]()
