Radiohead - Pablo Honey

 Yup, we're reviewing Radiohead. Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be discussing Radiohead's debut album, Pablo Honey. First of all, who is this band? Well, if you're reading this than you already know who they are. I don't have tell you who this band is, let's get into the review.

We start with You, which sounds like a generic 90s grunge song. I'm going to just say it, this song is boring and overdramatic.

Next we have the band's most famous song, Creep. Now, most Radiohead fans will absolutely hate this song, and so does the band. But, I must acknowledge that this song is pretty good.

How Do You? sounds really generic.

Stop Whispering is boring.

Thinking About You is actually pretty nice, given the use of weirder guitar plucks and calmer feel.

Anyone Can Play Guitar returns to the generic sound.

Ripchord sounds the same. So does Vegetable. And Prove Yourself. And I Can't. I'm not trying to be lazy here, the songs are just so monotone.

Lurgee is more of the same.

And we end the album on a sour note with Blow Out. More generic grunge music.

This album is absolutely forgettable. No substance, no flair, and it does not compare at all with the band's later works.

Favourite tracks: Creep, Thinking About You;
Score: 1/10

I'm Quitting My Blog...

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. I am now announcing that I am quitting this blog for multiple reasons: 1. It's blocking my musical journey. Due to me being forced to listen to the same artists without much else, I feel like my exploration is being hindered by this blog. 2. I am wasting my precious time for nothing. Nobody reads these posts, nobody reads blogs these days, they need short and snappy videos, which leads me to... 3. I will be making YouTube shorts, instead of writing these reviews, as they will reach a much wider audience, and won't need as much work. Thank you for respecting my choice, and I will see on YT...

The End of Electronics - Union

  Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today I will be reviewing The End of Electronics' first album, Union. As I mentioned in my   Voskhod review , I found out about this one-man band because of my affinity with Molchat Doma. I listened to his first album, and have to say... this album is pretty good. Not the best, but still really good. Let's dive deeper into it, shall we?  Kicking off the album is Night. It has a really interesting vibe to it, feeling like it's the beginning of your journey, and look out the window of your vehicle, you see rural areas and small towns. That's the feel thus song gives me. It has an amazing chorus instrumental and is just overall really well made!  Moving on, we have the oddly melancholic Union. Not that there is anything bad with that, but the instrumental gives me a sadder vibe. It really cool, it feels like the journey has taken a break, and you stopped at a gas station. The vocals are really cool in this song, and adds up to another...

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II

Greetings everyone! Quick disclaimer, this will be a long post, so grab yourself some tea while you read. Anyway, today I will be reviewing Aphex Twin's second album, Selected Ambient Works Volume II. After the amazing EP that was 85-92 , I had high hopes for this album. With that being said, let's get straight into the review. Right off the bat, Cliffs (I will be referring to the fan names) was a great start to the album, it's main motif being a woman's vocals being repeated constantly over the soothing ambient chords. I could hear the woman say "песня" (pesnya), which means song in Russian. Then suddenly, Radiator was a pretty creepy song, with a repeating melody that sounded like a stock phone alarm for some reason. Even though it had some very eerie chords, it was overall a pretty enjoyable track. But then, after the song had ended, Rhubarb's calm, welcoming chords started playing, giving me a comforting feel and was overall just a super chill, meditat...
