A โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… review of Better Man (2024) If you'd go through a Musician biopic check list, Better Man would manage to check each box. The fascinating thing about it is that it's still ending up being way better than the average Musician biop...

๐ŸŽฌ Better Man directed by Michael Gracey

The perfect Hollywood movie that Hollywood won't care about. As conventional as Better Man might be, it's also very beautiful and honest.

If you like Biopics or Robbie, make sure to give it a shot.

So amazing! Kindred EP and Rival Dealer are absolutely flawless masterpieces

Not easy because they are quite unique imo, but in the sense of you might like also:
Burial, Fuck Buttons, 808 State, Primal Scream, the Chemical Brothers, The Future Sound of London

Somehow called an EP, the whole ride is 90 minutes in length and unites many different genres while still building up to a record working best as a whole.

Fav. Songs: Pulldrone, Amber Waves, Onanist, Punish

Least fav.: Perverts

Rating:

87/100

You find personal stories of her on here about Relationships, Drug Abuse, Sexual exploration, religious guilt & Architecture

Theres a story about a famous architect's strange suicide attempts and the liberation he found through it and one about a predator

๐Ÿ’ฟ Perverts by Ethel Cain

Ethel Cain started the year by setting the bar high.

Perverts is a Drone, Ambient, Slowcore and Etheral Wave album with a ton of religious parabels.

It's also a very personal Statement about herself and her path to liberation.

1/3

If you made it this far, thank you very much for your interest and likes or reposts are very welcomed ๐Ÿค—

I took this task quite serious this year, spending the last month mostly with relistening to my top 60+ albums and trying to figure out where to place them

1. Zach Bryan - The Great American Bar Scene

Genres: Americana, Alt-Country, Heartland Rock

Zach Bryan created the greatest Country album I've heard in ages, with amazing lyrics, instrumentals and a peak vocal work that always feels very honest and intimate.

My AOTY

2. Floral Tattoo - The Circus Egotistica...

Genres: Indie Rock, Emo, Neo-Psychedelia

That one oomf that puts an artist you've never heard of on rank 2

I'm not trying to be pretentious, this is the shit! A blend of 90s Mercury Rev and Brave Little Abacus.
A firework of an album

3. The Cure - Songs of a Lost World

Genres: Gothic Rock, Alt. Rock

It's just unreal that the Cure came into 2024 to casually drop their greatest work since the year I was born

Smith somehow manages to create an album here that sounds like his finest 80s work, yet very 2024

4. 4. Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To

Genre: Metalcore

Holy Banger! Knocked Loose latest effort goes incredibly hard from start to finish and has an unreal track run with no flaws and skips at all.

The perfect energizer. Peak fun

5. Sadness - Your Perfect Hands and My Repeated Words

Genres: Blackgaze, Shoegaze, Emo

Damiรก Ojeda already made a ton of gorgeous albums balancing Shoegaze and Blackgaze and Your perfect Hands is one of their strongest and most beautiful albums with their best production yet

6. MGMT - Loss of Life

Genre: Neo-Psychedelia, Pop

MGMT never made a bad album. There, I said it.

Quite the opposite. They could have capitalised on Pop hits like Electric Feel or Kids, but rather reinvented themselves on each entry

LOL is their most adult & serious album yet

7. death's dynamic shroud.wmv - Before the Killing Spree

Genres: Art Pop, Industrial Rock, Post - Industrial

DDS released 10 albums/mixtapes this year and this is my favourite.

An Alarming and anxious, yet beautiful and melancholic album about the state of the world and personal Ego

8. Foxing - Foxing

Genres: Art Rock, Screamo, Post Hardcore

I love the feeling when you've never heard of an act before and they casually drop one of this year's greatest albums

St. Louis based Foxing takes us on a ride where no song is like the other and it fucking slaps!
