King Gizzard is just damn good, great energy, very fun vocals. If you have never listened to metal this is a great first metal album. If you love metal, this is a great metal album.

I am not a Lyricist
As a long time Baby Keem fan, since Harts and Darts, I was a lot cooler on this album than most. I don't think this is a bad album by any means, but it just did not hit for me the same way his other albums did. A lot of the feeling for me just felt missing on here when comparing to his other albums. Not bad, but if I were to grab a Baby Keem album, this would not be my pick 9/10.

Vielfraß
I was entirely unsure what to expect going into this but I ended being generally pleasantly surprised. Generally catchy songs, really cool ideas seen throughout the tracks, and nothing really over stayed it's welcome. Vocals felt maybe a little too far back for my taste and every so often the mix on the songs got way too quiet, where it got maybe a bit too hard to hear much, but those are just artistic choices I don't personally align with.

No Mercy
Immortal Technique is just able to rhyme in ways that you never thought of. This album also just straight up includes a history lesson, so for those unfamiliar it ends up being a great digestible way to learn. Even without the politics on display here, this album just displays an insane mastery over one's own personal art, showcasing the ability to say and sound whatever he wants because he is that damn good.

Change (Makes You Want to Hustle)
Just a great horn player being great. If you want to be in a good mood, listen to this.

On Some Faraway Beach
This album is a weird one. I don't want to say too much, because it's best experienced for the first time fully blind. It can get very weird and, at times, to the point where it might not be particularly enjoyable, however underneath all that is a really great album experience by a very clearly talented artist.

Apartment
This is a very nostalgic album for me, which is enhanced by the topic matter of album. Also surprisingly well played drums for an album of this type. Midwest Emo might not be everyone's thing, but this is definitely worth giving a shot if you're unfamiliar with the genre.

Blackbird
The vocal performances on this album are so peak. Every song can create such a great atmosphere, especially Ties That Bind and Blackbird.
