Actually, Sun Ra is one of those artists I want to hear more of. I am impressed with The Futuristic Sounds of Sun Ra and their best known track is probably Rocket Number Nine. They're obviously pretty avant-garde jazz so it is an acquired taste to be sure. I like what I've heard from them so far.

And yet you allow elph to be closeminded about Slayer? At least I listened to (some of) the damn thing. Anyway, I couldn't care less. I knew you'd react this way. I won't lose sleep over it. Moving on.

Album title: Dominion Artist: Tech N9ne Genre: Hip-hop Nationality: American Release date: April 7 Position in Discography: Eighteenth Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No; heard of him Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No Average RYM Score: 2.44 Damn it, I hate reviewing albums through YouTube. Why isn't this on Spotify? Why? So annoying. Anyway, I hear this as more trap than hip-hop, if trap is what I've been told it is, viz, darker, slower more kind of menacing hip-hop? First track (after the intro) is anyway, for sure. Sorry: fo sho. :) “Casket Music” is more stripped-down and hardcore, while “Wheels Like Hill” just powers along with some great rhymes and rhythm. Yo. I don't, however, and probably never will, get the idea behind “skits”. Are they just there to pad out the album, or are they supposed to relate to something? Usually they're either phone calls, people talking or maybe excerpts from studio recording talk. They never mean anything to me, and they just come across as an annoyance, so I won't mention any here, though there are several. “Reloaded” is another stripped-down effort, almost industrial in a way, and "The Answer" has a kind of reggae feel to it. Mind you, there are so many guests on this album it's literally impossible to get an idea of whether this Tech N9ne guy is any good or not. Too many cooks spoil the album, guys. Also too many tracks: twenty-four? It's all right but doesn't impress me as anything particularly special. Check out more from this artist? Nah Check out more from this genre or subgenre?

Album title: My Moment Artist: Tee Grizzley Genre: Hip-hop/Trap Nationality: American Release date: April 7 Position in Discography: Debut Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No Average RYM Score: 2.94 It's very refreshing to hear a hip-hop album (given the few I've heard, of course) open with an a capella track; really demonstrates how good (or bad) the rapper is, and this guy seems to be pretty good. When the music kicks in he's still impressive. “Real Niggas” is a damn fine track, in fact there's not really a track I don't like. Damn excellent for a debut. Check out more from this artist?

Album title: Sincerely, Future Pollution Artist: Timber Timbre Genre: Folk/Freak Folk/Psych Folk/Country Blues Nationality: Canadian Release date: April 7 Position in Discography: Sixth Estimated Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed5.jpg Familiar with this artist? No Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No Average RYM Score: 3.07 Very gentle start, lovely soft organ driving the opener in a nice laid back country style; like the guy's voice, very pleasant. Next one has more a kind of almost funk bite to it, more uptempo (though not, it has to be said, a lot) followed by a really cool instrumental. Sounds like “Moment” is using vocoders, which is interesting in this genre (well, the folk part – there seem to be a whole lot of subgenres checked here) and some fairly darkish organ too. There's a very low-key presentation to most of this that I find charming. You're not going to be performing any air guitar solos to it, that's for sure, but very enjoyable, if quite dark. Some good instrumentals too. Check out more from this artist? Yes Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes Actual Rating: http://www.trollheart.com/speed8.jpg |
