Downtown Battle Mountain II - Dance Gavin Dance (2011)

Fav song: Thug City

Honestly every dgd album I listen to I like a lot and I have essentially the same things to say. Love Jon Mess’s vocals, Will Swan blows me away with his guitar, and overall I think the contrast between the clean vocals and the screaming is a huge part of the charm for me. I think I’d have to listen to this album on loop for a week straight to truly appreciate it more and have more specific things to say about it. You can expect more dgd (and swancore in general) reviews in the future since I can't escape them.

Rating: 7/10

Dance Gavin Dance - Dance Gavin Dance (2008)

Fav song: Hot Water on Wool

Aaaand here’s the more dgd (I was in a dgd mood traveling back from Minnesota what can I say)! And FUCK this album is so good. From the first song I was straight groovin. I was already very familiar with Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most and honestly, the rest of this album sounds pretty different. In that song there’s barely any Jon vocals, but he’s very present throughout the rest of the album. I’d say Uneasy Hearts is the most accessible song on the whole album, which is no insult to either that song or the rest of the album. It’s an extremely solid mix of heavy and melodic. Not to mention, Jon and Kurt sound amazing together. I really wish Kurt had stayed as their vocalist cause he sounds SO GOOD here. I also really enjoyed the Chino Moreno feature and think he fit in really well. Overall, I liked this album so much and it might be my favorite of all the dgd albums I’ve heard in full.

Rating: 8/10

Nuestras Manos Son Incendios - Adiós Cometa (2024)

Fav song: Costanera

This album is a shoegaze inspired album from a Costa Rican band and is completely in Spanish! Over the past year or so I’ve been trying to get into more Spanish music, and Adiós Cometa has been a wonderful find due to that. I became obsessed with their song Norte off of La Isla Que Somos and I’m very happy that this album is of a similar sound to that ep. This album is a very nice evolution of their sound, sounding even more dreamy and atmospheric than their first ep. Having a completely instrumental track open the album sets the atmosphere and mood of the album, letting you familiarize yourself with the sound of this band. It’s some beautiful, dreamy shoegaze that gives way to the more upbeat second track. I think there's a nice variety in the mood of each song, while sticking very close to the atmosphere set up in the first track. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this album and am very happy to have found this band!

Rating: 8/10

Brat - Charli xcx (2024)

Fav song: Everything is romantic

I’m nearly two months late but I’m finally in Brat summer! Going in I knew this album would be a bit overhyped for me, and I was right. That didn’t stop me from enjoying the album a lot but overall I don’t love it as much as others. And I don’t really have much to say that hasn’t already been said by other people. I do think this is one of those albums everyone should listen to if they like pop music. I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t win a Grammy next year.

Rating: 8/10

Megan - Megan Thee Stallion (2024)

Fav song: Cobra

It’s CRAZY that Hiss starts off this song and I love it. You can tell this album was both a response to all the shit talking people did on Megan over the past couple years, and her just exploring the music she wanted to make. Overall, the album did sound a little repetitive to me, but the songs that stood out were very enjoyable to me. I haven't listened to much of Megan’s discog so I don't know how this album stands with her previous music. But I think it was pretty solid and like a lot of the songs a lot :)

Who remembers the SIX sides of Tumblr?

I was known for being part of one side known as ‘bandsbandsbands’ 😅

Slept on Downtown Battle Mountain II and the drama of Jonny Craig tho…. Lol does anyone

But David Tennant is an ICON. We all agree

The dash is feeling Tennant-y tonight, I see.

Well had to add that to the hashtags because all K-Pop stans have a bias. Not gonna lie, I tripped over Nayeon’s album as it was number 1 on last.fm and listened to it on Spotify. It lead to a random decision to download a Twice album (Ready To Be) on a crazy day that started with a very wet departure from Cullen in Moray and just north of Dundee I finally gave in.

As a Swiftie and Arianator I kinda knew a bit mostly BTS and Blackpink but Twice kinda lead me into hole of music that meshes well. I love my heavy stuff (Post-Hardcore/Pop Punk) and still vibe to early Slipknot but K-Pop offers me an exploration into music I generally enjoy providing it gives a kick.

I blasted Twicetagram this morning and it feels as involving as Downtown Battle Mountain II or Jonny Craig era Emarosa. And hits just like Brand New Eyes, Speak Now and Dangerous Woman does.

So you know 🤣

[batteriesandflashlights]

actually i'll stand by the opinion that silent bob's fav swancore band would be dgd but i think his fav album would be either self-titled or Downtown Battle Mountain II. and MY fav is Acceptance Speech and i don't think he'd care for that one that much

i know i said something recently about me projecting onto characters by saying they'd be into swancore. um. i think jay and silent bob would like swancore. jay's fave band in the scene would be Pulses for sure. silent bob's fave would be (trying so hard not to say dance gavin dance just cause they're my fav) uhhhhh
