Dodo's Album Reviews

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing the collaboration between Kanye West and Jay Z, Watch The Throne. First of all, I will first be reviewing Kanye's side projects, and at the time of writing this post, I am two weeks away from reviewing Kanye's discography. Anyway, Watch The Throne is a collaboration between these two rap giants, but instead of being something like Bad Meets Evil, where Eminem and Royce da 5'9'', would show off theirtechnical skills, here we see Kanye and Jay rap together as a super duo. Let's see what this record has to offer. We open with No Church In The Wild, a moody opener, filled with pounding drums and some amazing synths. This song doesn't have a very complex instrumental, but it still goes hard. Lyrically, the song mostly talks about the place in which Kanye and Jay are, as being two incredibly powerful people in the business industry. Next we have Lift Off, featuring Beyonce, but I gotta say, her ho...

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing the instrumental album by Death Grips, Fashion Week. Released after the group's supposed break-up, this record features no Ride. It is, as I just mentioned, an instrumental hip hop album. Let's see what it has to offer... And immediately, we are greeted to Runaway J. It features some acid like synths, high pitched chords and industrial sounding percussion. Not bad, but neither anything special. Runway E, on the other hand, is heavy, and had it been a bit more lo-fi, it would have fit very nicely on the legendary Money Store . The percussion sounds dirty and aggressive, the song glitches at points, the bass is heavy and distorted, great track. Runway N is just annoying. The happy sounding synth lead sticks to my brain, and I do not like that. The drums aren't anything special either. Runway n (2) sounds like a more synthetic version of the more rock influenced songs from Exmilitary . The lead synth is so d...

 Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today, I will start reviewing the legendary discography of Queen. No introduction needed here, we all know who Queen is. Let's get straight into their self entitled first album. Starting off, we have Keep Yourself Alive, a decent rock 'n' roll sounding song. The guitar was great, but the drums felt very empty, and was one of the main reasons this track isn't so good. Doing Alright started off with a calm melody, reminiscent of Pink Floyd 's later work, more abstract in nature. However, around the 2 minute mark, the track suddenly shifts to another rock 'n' roll-esc song, and then back to a calm section. This song, while a bit odd in nature, was a great song actually. Moving on, we have Great King Rat, with a highly energetic feel to it, Brian May's guitar work, being absolutely stunning on this track. My man just goes bonkers. Then, around the middle of the track, it switches to a calmer section, then back to a high ene...
