7.8/10 Really enjoyed the ambient intro, the progression into something sort of in the vein of a Simon & Gartfunkel song, only to switch again into an upbeat pychedelic buchla-like synth experience with gentle vocals that overall together plays between contemplation and extraversion. However, the mixing seemed rough with parts of the song being overbearing and others pushed back way too far into the background, with sudden changes in volume, and it didn't seem all that consistent in that regard neither, which could throw off the listener for the wrong reasons. Still, it made me want to check out the other stuff the artist put out.

This is the opening track for Kate Bush's 1985 album 'Hounds of Love'.

Bubbling with a sense of dancefloor optimism and longing of love like no other, this flawless track may be the culmination of house music of the 21st century, and when that solo hits, you'll ascend to heaven for a good 20 seconds before going back down to Earth. My favorite Daft Punk tune of all-time. 11/10

During my late teens I had a huge crush on neo-psychedelic rock from the 2000s and early 2010s, this song brought back some old goosebumbs.

A late 60s rock/pop romantic ballad by uruguayan band Los Iracundos.
Fun fact: not at any point before, during, nor even after recording the song did the band ever actually visit the chilean port town of Puerto Montt, but the locals are incredibly flattered by the song anyway.

That was…actually really good. 9/10
How about this?

great music, mediocre lyrics

That started off as a really decent country song, and then the throat singing hits and turns it into something else, in a good way. 9/10.

Nice English folk tune, the lyrics are your typical medieval pastoral fare but it does its job well; but the song's strongest point is its fiddling and snare rhythms

7.8/10 It's rough and has shown it's age, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't bring me back to my early childhood being sorrounded by a lot of these 90s videogames I shared with my decade older sister, while little me anxiously waited to get the (then) new GameCube. Nostalgia aside, the core beat itself is more than solid enough.

Any thoughts on this recently released oldschool soul-inspired collaboration between Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars?

7/10 I can appreciate most of what it's going for, but I'd like the overall idea to be more developed. Not simply on the grounds of it's length, but rather also how it decides to use it's time to communicate it's vibe because there's nearly a full idea here. If the artist made it longer or reworked it a bit I think it could work out better for me. Still liked it for what it is tho, and I think I might enjoy it more if I listened to it within the fuller context of the artist's music.

Another late 60s romantic ballad, this time a tragic one by argentine Leonardo Favio.

7.5/10 Roy Orbison always did have a lovely voice. This recording of the song asks a fairly mellow mood from the listener to really enjoy it, that may put some people off, but I can enjoy it without many qualms. Though there is another recording of this exact song that Orbison made (from a live concert perhaps?) that seems more lively compared to this particular one, and I can't help but feel to prefer that version. Still, Roy Orbison's music is worth the listen.

9.5/10 The beat is great, Kevin Abstract flows impeccably to the songs vibe, Danny Brown as per usual never misses, and there's a wonderfully serene psychedelic ending to it. Overall, an absolutely great release from the Brockhampton boys and I can't wait to listen to what comes next from them.

Nothing special, just in a positive mood is all.

Ah, yes, one of the veritable boomer anthems made by America's token Native American rock group. The rhythms and guitar licks are groovy as hell, sadly dragged down by those weak-ass hooks that scream "radio hit-engineered number".

PS: "無常" (Wuchang) means "impermanence" or "ephemeral" by the way

10/10 Will echo throughout time so as long as there's millenials/zoomers still alive and willing to pass this anthem down to their descendents.

(Didn't know how to post the bandcamp link in a way where you could just click on it and take you to the song).

Not for most people's tastes. If it appears as if it's still loading, just move the time slider a bit.
Warning: it gets LOUD at around 0:39.

5/10: I'm going to be honest here and just say that this just isn't my cup of tea. The use of electronic instruments to just create a simple backing rhythm made the whole thing feel lifeless as each note came out exactly the same and the vocals were over-edited to the point of unintelligibility for most of the song.

It gave the whole thing a discordant feeling, and not in a good way.

It's not a bad song, but it's not good either.

7.8/10 I liked that a good bit, though I wish it received the remastered treatment like his others songs in that "Best of…" album that youtube recommends next. Perhaps it's just my own personal tastes and sensibilities though.

9/10 Oh sweet! I love krautrock! People here ought to share some Can, Neu!, Faust and Kraftwerk too! There's just never enough of it being shared around.

I decided to go with the longer album cut of the song because I'm a sucker for bass guitar solos. The song is a sample staple, going as far back as 'Rapper's Delight' direct sampling.

Ghost's attempt to bring back the sound and presentation of theatrical 80s metal is working wonders for their image, but as far the sound goes, it can only bring them so far. This isn't their best cut, either, although I can appreciate their efforts on this one
