My Top Female Characters of 2023

1 album per day for a month: week 1 overview

Hi, yes, hello. It's your messy ass emo boy Waltjoy again with me doing dumbshit. But this dumbshit is not me saying shit about MCR for the 450th, it's me remembering that this is actually a music blog for once.

So basically, I'm very behind on albums that have been released this year. So I challenged myself to listen to albums that has been released in the year of our lord 2024 everyday for a month, and I've just finished my first week.

I planned this thing back in the beginning of this month, what happened? Devastating events. That's what happened. But who cares, lets get into the week overview/wrap up thing.

So our current week seemed to be themed around mostly alt rock with like, one metal album and an indie rock album. But literally most of it is alternative in some kind of way.

Yes, I know Preacher's Daughter did in fact come out in 2022, but I've been itching to listen to it in full and this was gonna be the only time I was able too. So like, lets get into it.

The Cure - Songs of a Lost World

Date Released: November 1

Genre(s): Gothic Rock, Alternative Rock

Date Listened: Nov 10-ish to Nov 11-ish

Holy FUCK!!! The Cure is BACK!!!!! Time to prove how goffik I am or whatever Ebony D'Arkness Dementia Raven Way said.

Okay all jokes aside, its INSANE to me how Robert Smith is still dripping with creativity and talent. Especially after not releasing any new material in over TEN YEARS. Most bands who've been around as long as The Cure typically.....don't make any new stuff and if they do its pretty....... not good. But HOT DAMN, is this thing crazy.

Now, imagine if a portal opened up in front of you and out of that portal comes Robert Smith. Now imagine if Robert Smith proceeded to throw you into the portal and into another world and you're stuck in that world for like, 20 or more years. And all of a sudden the portal reappears and you're sent back right to the moment when Bobbie boy over here threw you into the portal.

That's basically the album. It's ethereal and very other wordly. The boys were COOKING up in this bitch. 10/10

Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter

Date Released: May 12, 2022

Genre(s): Dream Pop, Slowcore, Singer-Songwriter

Date Listened: Nov 12

Shout out to that one goth friend of mine who fucking loves Ethel Cain and desperately wanted me to listen to this in full.

Anyways, I'm big fan of Ethel Cain despite the fact it took me until this month to listen to this album in full. The all EPs she released? Yep! The album? Nah, I needed the perfect moment for this big beautiful bitch. And DAMN if she ain't beautiful.

Ms. Ahnedonia is able to mix Dream Pop, Slowcore, and Singer-Songwriter with elements of Post-Rock, Americana, and Ethereal Wave for this unnerving and distrubing album that follows this southern gothic story of a girl whom ultimately ends up dead by the hands of her cannibalistic boyfriend, while also exploring themes of generational trauma, grief, death, love(?), various forms of abuse, and human trafficking. It's like one of those films that people say are really disturbing but as an album.

But the aesthetic, the sound design, basically everything off of this album makes you feel like you're sick on a hot summer's day. But not any kind of sickness: its like a fever that makes you lighthead and delirious and mostly in-and-out concious most of the day, all while its that gross, hot and sticky "so humid that you can cut through the air with a butterknife" kind of hot day.

Aka, this shit is amazing. I can got on about this album 10/10.

julie - my anti-aircraft friend

Date Released: September 13

Genre(s): Shoegaze, Noise Pop, Slacker Rock

Date Listened: Nov 13

Okay so, a little bit Alt Rock history for those who don't know: While Grunge and Shoegaze kinda flattered out of popularity during the 2000s, their were small circles that kinda took influences from both. Shoegaze bands with grunge influences, Grunge bands with shoegaze influences, ya'know. And later in the late 2010s and 2020s, Alternative Rock had a big resurrgence with a lot of Gen Z, including Shoegaze and Grunge. This also caused a revival in both of these specific genres. There have been multiples names to these; nu-gaze for newer shoegaze acts, grungegaze for shoegaze influenced grunge/grunge influenced shoegaze, and even zoomergaze for the more RECENT recent stuff.

And modern shoegaze band julie falls under the 'zoomergaze' word being thrown around. julie as band started getting attention from just their debut single, flutter (i completely recommend btw), alone back in 2020. Which was immediately followed with their EP Variable Bloom, which is only available as limited cassettes they handed out with three already released singles and an untitled track. Which was immediately followed with pushing daisies in 2021.

And this leads us to julie's debut album, which a lot of people have been seeing as a let down. And for me? Well, I'm julie's biggest fucking fanboy so yeah i loved it. I'm a shoegaze slut, i'll enjoy that shit as long as its not objectively garbage. Now, do I think this album is perfect? No! I actually agree with a lot of the criticisms of the album.

Literally my main two (2) complaints about this album is:

it doesn't have the rebellious spirit or weight of shoegaze and even thier previous works

parts of the album feel very same-y and meandering

Like, I legitimately think maybe they should've removed some songs and released this as another EP. But despite that, I think its still a pretty good debut. They're showing room for improvement???? on their FIRST STUDIO ALBUM????? HOW DARE THEY, THOSE SELL OUTS!!!

Okay but fr, despite its problems I love noisey shoegaze its an weak 8/10 for me

Poppy - Negative Spaces

Date Released: Nov 15

Genre(s): Metalcore, Alternative Metal

Date Listened: Nov 15

Poppy has had a very interesting past couple of years post-I Disagree. The EAT EP, which is her best, and Flux back to back in 2021, and then........whatever Zig was in 2023 and now collaborating with Bad Omens and Knocked Loose....crazy ass year for a poppyseed.

After the release of Zig in 2023, which a lot people thought was............. an album. She then returned a year later with Negative Spaces, completely ditching the industrial pop dance stuff she was doing in Zig and going back to the Metalcore/Alternative Metal. And DAMN THIS GIRL IS ANGRYYYYYYYYYY.

The first half of the album is back to back loud in your face, and then the other half starts to dable into other stuff like alternative rock and there's even coldwave song. This album is honestly something you have to experience on your own because even the metalcore tracks vary from Knocked Loose inspired to BMTH inspired stuff.

Basically, 10/10

Linkin Park - From Zero

Date Released: Nov 15

Genre(s): Rap Rock, Alternative Rock

Date Listened: Nov 20

So Linkin Park came back and it was definitely an album! But fr though, Emily Armstrong's vocals do fit but this feels so.....washed? Like there's only three tracks on here I like and two of those are the only ones that really feel like Linkin Park. Besides that, it's just boring and dull honesty. Which is WILD considering we have a couple tracks with Emily screaming her heart out on here.

Listen to Heavy Is The Crown, that's kinda the only one worthing listening to. 4/10

Rachel Chinouriri - What A Devastating Turn of Events

Date Released: May 3

Genre(s): Pop Rock, Indie Rock

Date Listened: Nov 20

Rachel Chinouriri I love you so much omfg. First off, her voice is so pretty???? It's just so soft and gentle??? And this album is so...comforting??? I feels very nostalgic of the 2000s, especially the music from that time. Some of these songs remind me of so many 2000s indie pop and indie rock its insane, and some of the stuff on here reminds me of Paramore's folk tracks like Misguided Ghosts on here too????

This album also seems to deal with a lot of themes about becoming an adult and dealing with tragedies, and BOY as an almost 19 year old still fucked over by the pandemic skip and dealing with life fucking me over DOES THIS ALBUM HIT ME IN THE FEELS SOMETIMES. AND DAMN DOES THIS GIRL KNOW HOW TO MAKE A POP HOOK.

Thank you for the new comfort album Rachel, i love it. 9/10

Fontaines D.C. - Romance

Date Released: August 23

Genre(s): Indie Rock, Post-Punk Revival, Alternative Rock

Date Listened: Nov 20

This album makes me wanna kiss boys

Okay but Fontaines D.C. is a very interesting band to me personally because a band mixing post-punk, indie rock, and gothic rock into a pot??? Hell yeah that shit sound CRAZY. AND MOST OF THEIR STUFF GOES WILD.

And this does too. It'd just a really nice sounding indie rock album all about being in love and shit. It has this vibe I can't really explain that's like, the completely opposite of melancholy. It's like the honeymoon phase of a relationship, just happy good things ya know.

gay ass album in way because of that, 9/10. love it.

okay music gays that's all for this god forsaken first week. will the next week have a theme? who knows! it could start off with tyler's newest album and end with....shi idk me reviewing CR2 after surprise drops it who knows, wild shit always happens this month so stay tuned ig.
