Imperative Imperceptible Impulse

Ad Nauseam

"This shit is mind-blowing. Everything about it. I feel like I am being deprogrammed as I listen. My conceptions of harmony and melody are peeled away.

I feel like I am being deprogrammed as I listen. My conceptions of harmony and melody are peeled away. The musicians are not only doing weird stuff, they are doing weird stuff with complete focus and presence, they are just throwing most of the rules out the window but doing it with a clear eye and purpose. The way the left and right guitars are playing off each other in the dissonant (yet somehow never fully cacophonous) way they do feels like its both ripping my brain in 2 but also expanding it. I can't make sense fully of the effect of the music so I can't describe it well either. The drummer is a stud, the bassist is doing cool stuff, the guitars and the vocalist are all doing cool stuff. The ambient bits are beautifully realized, and the riffs are stunning. But this album doesn't feel like just a concatenation of dope-as-fuck riffs that are then built upon and around. Instead the songs and the pieces of music all feed off each other and enhance the whole experience. The rhythms and the noisy builds and the breakdowns and the solos don't get short shrift behind the riffage. Its all a fully integrated whole. I haven't gotten to the stage of listening (on my 3rd listen now) where I fully try to work out what leads to what and where things happen in relation to others or looking at the lyrics or themes etc. I am still in the early phases where I notice each time I listen a 100 little details I missed last time and I am just sitting slack jawed as I hear some mind expanding shit. This may be a masterpiece. I am no Death/Avant Garde fan, insofar as I heard maybe 5 metal albums from the entirety of last year and 3 this year. BUT as a music listener, I think this album is one of the best examples in awhile of an album that has all the signs of being a masterpiece. Its pretty unique as far as what I have heard (Ulcerate had a similarly mind-expanding album last year, but its not like it was the same as this - just some similar DNA), it features truly incredible musicianship, it flows and sounds great the whole way through, and it just kinda puts me in a waxing poetic headspace that masterpieces do. Just wanna say 1 small thing that I love, the way the drums toward the end of track 2 "Inexorably Ousted Sente" just make me think the "CD" is skipping (although not a CD so the way it makes me think its glitching hard) and the way this is done so savagely and perfectly in a time signature and way that seems almost impossible is so cool. Oh and the whole album is brilliant, but the title track may be the song of the year so far. Its unspeakably excellent. I think I'll end my "review" here and go listen to this a couple more times. Peace!" [+] Reply

That's The Way It Is

Elvis Presley

"In the late '60s and early '70s Elvis was quite inspired and in the best voice of his life. This album brings some of his best recordings: "Mary In The Morning", "I´ve Lost You", "Twenty Days And Twenty Nights", "Stranger In The Crowd", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", etc. The only problem is the l..."

Turbo

Judas Priest

"Put out after 'Defenders of the Faith' which was always going to be a hard act to follow. I remember when this came out it got hammered in reviews due to them using synth guitars. The title track is up there with the best tracks they've made. There's a couple of songs where the synth guitars are ..." [+] Reply

Star-Crossed

Kacey Musgraves

"It's not the lightning in a bottle that the first half of Golden Hour was but she's still a really nice songwriter w/ a winning pop country sounding voice. It's pretty solidly pop here genre-wise pulling bits and pieces from other genres when it's needed: weird vocal effects and autotune, some el..." [+] Reply
