yeah it wasn’t great. I loved The Most Lamentable Tragedy but this band has truly been coasting along on fumes since then

that’s still one of the greatest books I’ve ever read, though I never got around to The Goldfinch

he’s not great, but he has to play against two of the strongest actors in the franchise with Astin and Serkis for about 90% of his scenes. additionally, he’s playing a character who is just kind of boring and something of a cipher, compared to Sam and Gollum who have brilliant and moving arcs across all three films…

Not loving “With My Whole Heart” but it’s fine, for me more in the vein of “Mystery of Love” style songs that are technically great and everything but just scratch the surface of what he’s capable of

Garth Marenghi’s Grimdarkplace

that’s a fair interpretation, and considering he’s unloaded bits of the Kuso soundtrack onto here I think rarities album is a pretty apt descriptor. but marketing it as a full comeback album after six years and one of the best trilogies in music, only to release a rarities album no matter how good they are, is gonna…

it’s an absolute banger, but feels like it should be on a Denzel album not a FlyLo one

“(We’re still waiting on the soundtrack to Kuso, his controversial 2017 live-action film inspired by Japan’s profanely debauched guro underground.)“

SHE’S MY MOTHER’S SISTER’S GIRL

it’s very much the polar opposite of a fade, if you really think about it

a) I don’t think Coloring Book was highly celebrated anywhere, at least as far as I saw, and b) it was also a mixtape not an “official album”. Chance has never had a non-mixtape album

came for Vince Staples; don’t regret it. that man is fucking hilarious

if you liked the last instrumental song on Flower Boy, IGOR sounds like he ran through the horrorcore filter of his early stuff and added art-rap touches on top of everything. it’s absolutely bizarre and I love it

for me as a long-time fan this is the album Sleep Well Beast should have been. loses the incredibly frustrating pacing and misses like “Turtleneck” and adds enough art-rock flourish and borderline-genius use of guest vocalists that it sometimes feels like a new band

the chorus on Hairpin Turns is breathtakingly gorgeous, I’m amazed by this weird narrative that sprung up that it’s boring since the pitchfork review said it was

saw the film in Sydney last week - Vikander and the cinematography are stunning, but the reliance on subtitles and the clunky colour screen transitions kind of takes away the ambiguity that her performance is doing so much to create (by just telling us exactly what she’s thinking or doing). very excited for the album

I’m gonna go ahead and rewatch the whole show, because any excuse to revisit Twin Peaks is good enough for me

not enough exaggeratedsnark about that time they played Buddy Holly as a barbershop quartet in this article. have I fallen back into the universe where people like Weezer?

“The Crime Scene” is 100% a classic
