You’re often known for reviews where you give well beloved albums lower than expected scores but what’s an album or few that weren’t that well received by the public/fans but you absolutely loved and enjoyed

Josh Miles

Is Dora really an explorer when all she explores are mapped territories?

Vipul Konnur

dungeon family’s Even In Darkness is a CLASSIC and i don’t understand why people don’t talk about it more

Out of all the singles that Magbay dropped last year, I think that the sound direction that I would love them to go in was for This Is The World (I made it for you), it's not to say they can't surprise me but I just feel like that song captures everything that's so good about them

[Sorry for incoming yap session] People love to dog on Hololive members and other VTuber artists but they might genuinely be some of the most exciting musical acts of the decade. Artists like Hoshimachi Suisei, Amane Kanata, Nekomata Okayu, Takanashi Kiara, and ReGLOSS have had some of the strongest and most fun discographies of the decade, while Sakura Miko, Takane Lui, Ninomae Ina'nis, and Houshou Marine’s recent projects have brought some genuinely forward thinking and unique sounds that aren't much like anything else in the American mainstream or even some of the underground artists covered by major publications. Not even to mention the promise that Cecilia Immergreen, Gigi Murin, and Kobo Kanaeru have brought with some thoughtful and heartfelt singles. I could go on and on about all the good music that the company has brought to the table but all in all I just wish major music journalists and critics gave them the seriousness they deserve, especially as their talents keep reaching higher and higher reaches of popularity (see Suisei being added to Fortnite).

Machine Girl's Pychowarrior: MG Ultra X is their best album and one of the best albums of last year.

Nilsibert

SOADs last 2 albums can't hold a candle to their first 3. A lot of it sounds more like a parody of themselves, lyrically it's often uninspired and too on the nose, melodies are hit or miss, and production just sounds weak. Also Daron is unbearable most of the time. (Insert obligatory mention of Lonely Day)

Herbieguy

What are some of your favorite and least favorite one-hit wonders? Along with that, what are some OHW where you think their deep cuts are much better than their hit in question?

Byrd

Vocaloids should be used more in music that isn't explicitly Vocaloid music.

Dalton Krause

Right? I was bummed when he didn't review it, even after liking the singles!

Formaline fuckupformaline

Based on Future, Che, and Sewerslvt's uses of Vocaloid in their music (ex. 712PM, GET NAKED, and whgt), I’d honestly agree

Benjamin Lisboa

Radiohead would have never taken off if they didn't make Creep

lennybensonjr

Miles Davis invented IDM with Rated X.

BiLl CiPhEr

El-P is one of the goats of hip hop and deserves to be treated as such

As a terminal weeb I can't pretend I don't like Hololive, but I also can't pretend like much of their musical output is particularly good from a music critic pov. That's part of the experience, even, i.e the idol journey. What I'm saying is be careful what you wish for. Tony would rip most of it to shreds in a way that wouldn't be of much benefit or insight to fans of either party. It would be kinda depressing imo lol. The idea that Hololive is putting out music that is unlike anything else in the American mainstream might be true, but in the Japanese domestic market, it's the same safe jpop stylings we've been hearing for the past 30 years. Much of it is a risk averse product of the otaku industrial complex, which is perfectly fine for what it is, but what it is is fundamentally anime merchandise. I think it's best left within the confines of its own ecosystem. If something really great emerges from it, trust me people will notice. Let it happen organically, because you really can't force anyone over the vtuber barrier man lmao. It's a lot to ask of someone. Nenechi's Giragira Fan Meeting fucking rules though and I don't give a shit what anyone says

Formaline fuckupformaline

He’s actually liked the idol stuff he’s heard, I had him play Suisei’s Moonshot and Towa’s Prescription on stream and he rocked with it lmao Only thing he didn’t like was Calli which as much of a fan of hers as I am is absolutely understandable lmao Also while I do agree that a lot of Holo music shares a lot with many other J-Pop stylings, I put the artists that do that more in the ā€œfunā€ category, while the artists I mentioned as being unique have tons of stuff that isn't much like anything even in J-Pop (see Nya-Hello World, Zig-Zag and Requiem for the Rebel, Temari and Abyssal Hymn, and Unison and Marine Set Sail).

I dunno if this is a hot take or not, but England is the most prolific country pound for pound when it comes to producing musical talent. Arguably the top 5 rock bands OAT are all British…. We started the punk movement in the 70’s, lead the new wave in the 80’s, Brit pop in the 90’s and don’t even get me started on the likes of David Bowie and Radiohead. Some of the most innovating and influential artists to ever grace this planet come from this small depressing little island.

Isaac Furler

I think the streaming services version of Mitski's new album cover is way better than the physical one. Not only because genuinely the cat's head with the strange look and different eye colors is more memorable, mysterious and funny, but also when I look at the full picture I feel lost and overwhelmed with what's going on. This is pure example of «the less is more».

bressig

it's odd to call them underrated considering their critical and commercial success in the late 80s and early 90s, but it's a shame that Living Colour has mostly been forgotten about in modern rock and metal discourse. Even though they only drop new music every so often now, they never fail to maintain high quality when they do

Nick

Twenty One Pilots, Steve Lacy, 100 gecs, Olivia Rodrigo, Slipknot and Korn are all likely to become bolded on Rateyourmusic in the future. It's just a matter of how long and how high they will climb before stabilising.

Zach Stolpa

That and Lulu I think are the most notable ones but some less known ones would be welcome for him to share

Drake Parker

DJ Khaled wasn’t entirely wrong about the whole ā€œmysterious musicā€ comment. It was just said about the wrong person at the wrong time. Giving world renowned accolades to essentially ā€œcult classicsā€ is a little counterproductive

Jordan Fairbairn

So I’m going to repeat what I said last month because I’m right😁 but Emma Ruth Rundle’s trilogy albums of Marked for Death, On Dark Horses and Engine of Hell is one of the greatest album trilogies of all time! It ebbs and flows, telling a story of sinking into depression near to the point of suicide and seeking Codependency with Marked for Death. (Highlights: Heaven!!!!!! Medusa and So, Come) The trilogy goes into its 2nd act with On Dark Horses which acts as a continuation whilst sonically veering more heavy unlike its shoe-gaze soaked predecessor. It however, is an album about healing ultimately, and finding reasons to live. (Highlights: Light Song, Dead Set Eyes, You Don’t Have to Cry) The third album Engine of Hell is sonically the most stripped back, however, opting to let its story and emotions lead its focus. The lyrics and themes of the album are focused on reflection and the journey so far. It still isn’t a happy album, but a content one, indicating its finality and rounding out the story of the trilogy. (Highlights: Razor’s Edge, Return and Body) Truly a masterpiece in every sense of the word and I truly have not felt this way about a trilogy of albums since Nicole Dollanganger’s last three albums which mirror the day-afternoon-night-dawn cycle sonically.

Chris

I know I emailed you about this but I lowk wanna see you answer this song or let’s argue what are some artists with multiple 10s or do you think it’s possible for an artist to have multiple records of that caliber For me Dylan, Bowie and LCD Soundsystem do

Skullring27

Matt Johnson has done more to represent Toronto way more than Drake has in his entire career.

Josh Brown

I am tired of people acting that FOTB is a terrible album when it includes some of Vampire Weekend’s most of expressive and vibrant songs, like This Life, Harmony Hall, and Stranger. If you cut out 5-6 lackluster songs that make the tracklist so bloated, you’d end up with another near-perfect and career-defining album. It’s just the genre experimentations that didn’t work that overshadow the ones that did.

charlotte

The Replacements are one of the greatest bands OAT
