Album with highest ratio of good music : bad album art
Asuna – Flowers
Maybe I just don’t get it. Am I not getting something here? Is it supposed to be ironic? Well, album art aside, this is a very good release. Repetitive sample based ambient drone work, with a hint of daedelus-esque hip hop thrown in here and there. I would recommend you look into it!
2 more categories after the jump!
Greatest release which it would be lame for me to admit liking
Millionaires – Just Got Paid, Lets Get Laid
You may or may not be one of the people forunate/unfortunate to have heard of Millionaires. If you have heard of them, it is probably in the form of the infamous party song “Alcohol”, lyrics include;
“Everytime I’m at the bar, you wanna pay
Go ahead, buy me a drink..you won’t get laid”
Inspirational no? But blatant lameness aside, I actually enjoyed this release to an extent. Despite dreadful themes and ridiculous teenage lyrics about getting drunk and having sex, the simple electro production on this is admirable, and even fun to listen to. The backing of this song is pleasantly familiar to me; it could easily be a Justice remix of a Ridge Racer song. Don’t judge me, you have to admit that the chorus is nice… you have to!
Greatest release that I didn’t listen to
Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca
I first listened to this in… oh wait,no. Emmm. This is.. a good.. release. I think. Is it? The runners up… I think.. are Grizzly Bear, The XX and ehh, some other people… probably.
