my favorite albums ☆ミ

hi! these are albums that i really like. you can click on any of the covers to read more info about them, and you can scroll down to see more albums.

music has always been a very important part of my life. there's pictures of me at like, 3 or so lying in my parents bed listening to music. and that little child grew up to be a scrobbler... i think my 3 year old self would be so proud of me now. 🥺💖

in general, my favorite genres of music are more rock/alternative centered genres, but like i said on my about page, i grew up with a lot of pop/r&b/rap, so i enjoy those genres as well 🫶 but rly i'll listen to watever sounds good i don't consider myself someone loyal to only one or two genres.

Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches and Walkers ∞/10 best song ever
The Music or the Misery 8/10

This is my favorite album of all time. If you look up 'peak' in the dictionary this album will show up there. Everything from the aesthetics to the sound of this album is so amazing to me. Fall Out Boy have always been really good at transitions between songs, and this album certainly doesn't disappoint there. This album also has my favorite 3 song run from FOB: Get Busy Living to Snitches and Talkers. (I count the bonus tracks because I want to)

I was 11 when I first heard this album. Of course, it was just the regular edition without the bonus tracks, but with how quickly I dug into FOB's discography, it did not take me long to stumble upon the Black Clouds and Underdogs songs as well. Snitches and Talkers was one of my favorite songs even back then, and I have very vivid memories of listening to it on my iPhone 6 after I bought it on the iTunes Store. 💖

So many of the lyrics on this album are so good. So beautiful. Patrick's vocals go so well with Pete's writing, it is unreal. And I can say that about any of their albums I just want to really point it out here because omg. It's like an experience every time I listen to it.

I'll probably repeat myself a lot on the FOB album reviews bc I'm already talking about them on the shrine page dedicated to them specifically but. That just goes to show how passionately I feel about them. I love Cork Tree all of the songs work so well together it is just so beautiful and unreal.

I'm actually a fairly new fan of Acid Black Cherry. As in, I only got into the band last year. My way of finding ABC is kinda funny, too... at least to me. It was through looking for the original songs that they used for the Durarara cover songs. A lot of them are old, so I was never able to find them on Spotify... but I found ABC's cover of Julia ni Shoushin on the search results. To be honest, I didn't take it too seriously at first, because I always kinda thought the covers of those old songs weren't too crazy. But I listened to it in 2019! And I didn't care for it. And then I listened to it again once or twice for the next few years.

And then, according to my Last.fm, I randomly listened to that cover 14 times on August 1st, and that was it for me. I got curious as to what else they had put out, and I saw Black Cherry on the list of popular songs, and... I listened to that song 13 times that day.

Admittedly, I hadn't gotten too into this album until recently. I saw that to celebrate yasu's 50th birthday, they switched labels and remastered a bunch of albums, so I got very curious. To start... sins is such a fantastic opening track. It might be my favorite off the album now... I don't know. It's fighting with Black Cherry for that spot.

Speaking of, the remaster for Black Cherry in particular is so good. I'm a little biased here, because I heard it so many more times than the rest of the album, but the mixing is just beautiful. There's that little drop right before the chorus, and it was already very good, but now there's this little horn instrument that goes down like 4 steps or so and yeah. It's good. It's great. And then in general the instrumental just feels much more open and thorough now.

This album as a whole is very solid and beautiful. I love the overall sound and aesthetic of it... each song fits very nicely with each other without sounding too similar. I anticipate I will be adding a few more Acid Black Cherry albums to this page in the future.

HANAGATAMI
ゾクゾク 10/10

As soon as Kikuo played the song he produced for Phantom Siita (Kimi to xxxx shitai dake) at my concert last September, I knew I was going to love their music.

Their style and theme are so cool and elegant to me, and I love everything from the visuals to the instrumentals. With each new single that came out, I got more and more excited. The retro aesthetic of Kimi to xxxx shitai dake, especially in the MV, was my first impression of them. I was very charmed... The more intense beat of Hanagami, while being a slightly different sound, still fits with their image, not to mention how well they executed it.

Out of all the songs, I think my favorite is Zoku Zoku. I really love the extravgant sounding instrumentals, and each member delivers such powerful vocals to compliment it perfectly. I had the chance to see Phantom Siita live recently, and I have even more appreciation for this album after that. Their stage presence is so fun and exciting...

For anyone listening to even just a few of their songs, I would highly recommend watching the behind the scenes videos of their recording sessions. Hearing their raw vocals in the studio is really thrilling... you could even call it ゾクゾク… (get it cause their song is called zoku zoku 🤓) Jokes aside they are all very talented. I am excited to see what they will do next...
