Worlio people! I have a request for you all, something I've been asking everyone today.
One thing I've brought back on my site from way back in the day (so 2018 or so),
mariteaux.somnolescent.net, is album reviews.
I do these two paragraph reviews of mostly 90s and 2000s rock stuff, and I've recently hit 100 in the database! As such, I wanted to solicit suggestions for albums to cover next to break up the monotony of it all being albums I already know well and like.
* I've been telling people only one per person, but I dunno why. If you've got a few, sure. It does have to be an album though, so no singles and no mixes.
* No restrictions on genre or year, you can hit me with whatever. Do keep in mind my wheelhouse though, if you'd like me to like your suggestion (or if you want me to hate it because that's funnier):
The best way I can sum up my obsessions as a listener is that, if it was played on 120 Minutes, I like it. I like hooky songwriting, strange noises, big fuzzy basses, gnarly drum tones, interesting voices, and bands that know when to end a song. Beyond that, I will occasionally defend butt rock, mom rock, turn of the millennium pop rock, and various other genres considered uncool. I probably also have untapped interest in warped electronica and really lo-fi, crappy hip-hop music. Ask me again in ten years.
*
Here's my ratings scale. It's basically out of 1-5.
* Shitpost music will be shitposted about in kind.
Here's a few reviews I like from myself if you want a taste of my overall writing style:
*
David Garza - This Euphoria (1997, Rating: Great)
*
Silversun Pickups - Swoon (2009, Rating: Classic)
*
Hole - Live Through This (1994, Rating: Eh)
*
The Cardigans - Gran Turismo (1998, Rating: Great)
(These links are slightly broken due to Worlio HTML entity handling but that's okay, they'll take you to almost the right place)
Thanks in advance
