The Wall – Pink Floyd
The Wall is like a Tarantino movie. First, it’s long as fuck. Two sides! Two motherfucking sides. Second, it’s problematic. Look at the lyrics to the song “In The Flesh”. I feel like if I quote them, WordPress will throw me straight into the brig. And yes, I fucking know that it’s all a part Continue reading

DECIDE – Djo
Steve from Stranger Things strikes my blog again! I will now just call him Joe. Or Djo. Like Django Unchained. I thought this album was good, but not as good as the previous record for two main reasons. One, songwriting. I didn’t think the songwriting was bad by any means here, but the themes of Continue reading

Twenty Twenty – Djo
A really fucking good psych rock record. Steve from Stranger Things can get down! That’s right, this is Steve from Stranger Things’ band. And I could call him Joe Kerry, or Djo, but I think inserting Steve from Stranger Things three times in a paragraph is a necessary opportunity to capitalize on when it comes Continue reading

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots – Flaming Lips
I can’t believe this is the first time that this is gracing my ears. For a slight bit of background, Flaming Lips are a psych rock band from Oklahoma that have been around for many times. If you’re like me, which I bet a good bit of you are, you probably have heard of them Continue reading

Mild High Club – Skiptracing
As previously said in my more recent Mild High Club review, I don’t think anything that Alex makes will top Skiptracing, which made me realize it had been quite a while since I had listening to that album, even though I love the songs. This album is good – clever songwriting, nice riffs, and an Continue reading

Going Going Gone – Mild High Club
A very nicely put together album showcasing the talents of a Chicago man named Alex (who that is!). I enjoyed this album, short and sweet, however it came with some of the pitfalls of his previous work – some really overly dissonant sounds for my ears, as well as some subpar singing. I don’t think Continue reading

Let’s Start Here – Lil Yachty
I don’t quite know where to begin this blurb. I’ve landed on – this is not a Jay-Z Linkin Park Collab, not an MGK punk effort, or anything of the like. This is Lil Yachty doing psych rock well. That in itself is a ridiculous statement – madlib esque – but god damn this album Continue reading

Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd
Dark Side of the Moon. One of the greatest albums of all time. A quintessential tripping album. Also an album that I had never listened to in full or on my own accord, aside from in a few smoking circles in a previous day and age. First off, the album did not have anything objectively Continue reading

Axis: Bold as Love – Jimi Hendrix
It’s hard to imagine anything will ever top the listening experience Are You Experienced provided (The Wind Cries Mary is one of the best songs of all time!), however Axis: Bold as Love provided a great contender in the Hendrix discography. Subdued guitar songs managed to be my favorite, such as Castles Made of Sand Continue reading
