The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Melanie Martinez Edition

I love Melanie's music so much, she was the first real artist I thought was pretty different than whatever played on the radio or what my mum played in the house. So, without her music and without my best friend recommending me her music, I would've become a boring ass gay guy. With that said, before Hades came out in March, I wasn't listening to her music like that for a while. But once I start listening, I'm singing every word.

The Good | High School Sweethearts: There's so many choices for me to choose, but I chose my favorite. High School Sweethearts is a song I fell in love with on first listen as the lyrics are catchy and empowering in a way that is protective of yourself, so you can search for someone who isn't just a one-night fling. The song is so moody and really gets me into a state of mind that I can't explain. 11/10.

The Bad | Drama Club: I was going to go for Wheels on the Bus, but I feel like Drama Club fit this better. Drama Club had potential, but it's essentially a wasted spot in the K-12 track list as it not only transitions from the first half of the album to the second poorly, but the song by itself isn't the worst thing in the world, it's mid in the sense that it does nothing at all with its potential except for the very brief verses in between the repetitive choruses that happen throughout most of the song. 4/10.

The Ugly | MOON CYCLE: I get most people don't like Portals era, but it introduced me into Melanie's music, and I still love it for the most part. But what the fuck was MOON CYCLE? I used to love this song lots, and I'm a gay boy. But I now realise that a song about periods and how tough Melanie is on her period is unbelievable, stupid and not relatable (at least to me for obvious reasons). I will give credit, the beat and music itself is beautiful and ethereal. 3/10.

ICEMAN by Drake - Album Review

I hate Drake. I've always hated Drake, him and his music. So, when the album was announced and was finally releasing, he dropped not one, not two but three whole ass albums to complete a contract of his with UMG, I knew at least the two surprise albums would be complete ass, so I didn't listen to those. But when ICEMAN was getting bad reviews, I was so happy to hear more people than usual, even some of Drake's dick riders were saying it was ass, hating on the album. So, I listened to most of the songs before making the decision that it was indeed ass.

If you go onto my AOTY and look at the review, I have it at a 0. But what I'm going to credit on here and not on there is that ICEMAN has some really nice beats, some of the best beats Drake had put out in recent age. But here's the thing, Drake then decides to speak, and it takes me out of it completely. Now I didn't listen to the album when reviewing it on AOTY, but I have tried to listen to the album since, but Drake's music is some of the most boring shit ever. I believe full heartedly that I will never like any Drake project ever.

Overall: This is the worst album I've heard this year for the fact that it bores me to death until I die on the inside at how childish this man child is. Fuck this dude. 1/100, good production buried underneath Drake's reheated nachos that were 5 years out of date.

"A Voice from Gaza… A Cry for Help"

Hello, I’m Saja from Gaza 🇵🇸💔 I’m writing to you today during one of the hardest moments of my life… For months, we’ve been living under the fire of war 💣. The bombing never stops, and death follows us everywhere 🕊️. Destruction has become a daily scene in our lives 🏚️.

But war is not our only enemy… Prices have skyrocketed 💸🔥, and everything has become unaffordable. A loaf of bread 🍞, a box of milk 🥛, a bottle of water 🚰… have all become distant dreams. Even the most basic needs are no longer within reach. We survive on so little, trying to hold on despite the pain 😔.

My home is no longer the same 🏠❌, our lives have changed, and safety has vanished. My children no longer know peaceful sleep or full meals 🛏️🍽️. Every day brings a new danger, and every night we pray just to survive one more day 🙏.

This is a picture of my home after the bombing… Our dreams turned to rubble. 🧱💔

Today, I am asking you for a helping hand 🤝, a message of support 📣, a kind word 💬, or any contribution, no matter how small 💖. Any support — big or small — makes a real difference in our lives 🌟.

Help Saja Rebuild a Life After Everything Fell Apart

My name is Saja. I am a mother, a wife, and just one of many women in Gaza trying to hold on — to hope, to my family, and to a life that no

If you’re unable to donate, please help by sharing or reblogging this post 🔁. My voice may not reach far, but with your help, it can reach those who can make a difference 🌍✨.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who reads and cares ❤️. Your presence gives hope in a time where we’ve lost almost everything 🌹.

So… I listened to Nurture by Porter Robinson the other week. And it’s a near masterpiece.

But this isn’t about the album… I’m talking about the 13th track from it called Unfold.

Pyramids by Frank Ocean was my favourite song of all time before I heard this. But now, I don’t think anyone could ever top Unfold. Why?

Well, the magical beat and heavenly vocals combined together so perfectly that it feels… well, like a bed of flowers, soft kittens and the voice of an angel.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs definitely made the track the way it is today.

I don’t have anything else to say except that it’s so beautiful and heavenly that I just want to cry when the chorus pops up.

12/10.

I’m gonna make an album review on SMILE! :D by Porter Robinson.

Hope more people watch it unlike the last video.

Script is already done ✅

[fishsocketumonger]

Update: I’m now up to the editing stage. I’m going to give it my all and make it more interesting at least. My mic isn’t the best in the world, but I have a new one coming soon, hopefully.

Feel free to give out feedback to my video, no hate.

I do not like I AM MUSIC. But you cannot tell me to my face that GOOD CREDIT doesn’t go so incredibly hard. No Bias to Kendrick

New YouTube video I made on I AM MUSIC

[fishsocketumonger]

I AM MUSIC Album Review

I’m making a video on this actually so I won’t say too much.

This album was super underwhelming and overhyped. It was somehow even worse than Whole Lotta Red, and I don’t like that album. I don’t remember exactly every song from I AM MUSIC, but I remember that the first half was fine and non offensive. Then after Good Credit with Kendrick Lamar, the album immediately felt like it was more of a chore than anything. I didn’t care for most of the tracks, especially CHARGE DEM HOES A FEE, that song was so painful boring that I thought that this album would be as boring as every Drake album.

Overall: I don’t like this album or the rapper behind it

The Good, The Mid and The Ugly (The Weeknd Edition)

I’m bringing this back! Also, I’m in the process of making a new video for my YouTube Channel (on Linked post).

The Good: Popular (Feat. Playboi Carti and Madonna)

I hated The Idol as much as the rest of the world did that we almost forgot that there was actual musical talent behind the music in the show. This song being the most “popular” one (lol). The Weeknd absolutely cooks with this beat that is otherwise simple, but his chorus is what made this song such a banger, Madonna is so supremely amazing in this song, not that I don’t think she has talent on her own (she does), but she fits so well with two modern day artists; especially with Playboi Carti. He is just fine in this song, he isn’t in it that much. But I love his little bits after the chorus. So yeah, I love this so much. Such fun. 9/10.

The Mid: Timeless (Feat. Playboi Carti)

Even if Playboi Carti didn’t use ai for this song, the beat is too repetitive for me to care. If you turn your brain off for this song, it can be a banger between two giant artists. And yes, I’ve listened to Hurry Up Tomorrow, and it seriously does not fit with what the album was trying to convey with its grandiose cinematic appeal, since it is The Weeknd’s last album and it feels like this could’ve just been a solo single and not a single for the album. But if you turn off your brain, this is a mindless bop. 5/10.

The Ugly: House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls

Now look, before you get mad, I love the first song of this double track, but Glass Table Girls is honestly terrible. House of Balloons is a 10/10. But since it’s in the same track as Glass Table Girls, it makes it hard to listen to the first half without even hearing the second half and thinking “why was this on the mixtape?!”. The singing on that song is not enjoyable and makes me want to skip to the next song, The Morning 🥰. So yeah, House of Balloons: 10/10. Glass Table Girls: 2/10.

Arcane S1 & 2 Review

Spoilers!

I finished Arcane a couple of days ago now and… I’m permanently scarred from this series and it’s never ending cycle of making me cry or feel emotional at the end of an episode. I’m gonna talk about both seasons because I’m lazy and I don’t wanna make two posts about each season or episode. So here are my overall thoughts on Arcane.

Season 1:

This might be a perfect season of television. Everything in this season is perfectly balanced and every storyline is equally compelling and given enough screen time for all of them.

The characters are some of my favourite characters in television. They are all so imperfect and complex that I sometimes don’t know who’s the main bad guy of the show. Which is the point because all of these characters are flawed in their own ways. Jayce and Viktor are my fav ship that is real in my eyes 👀. Who’s Mel? Jk love Mel. Caitlyn is great and I especially love her and Vi together. But she did feel like she had no character development this season, but I still love her. Ekko was so great and good-looking lol. Vander… I miss him. Silco, fuck him, yet I love him. Silco is such a complex character that he is a threat in a way but he is also driven with his past and what happened between him and Vander. Finally, my favourite sisters, Vi and Jinx/Powder. I loved them through out the whole show and I wanted them to be ok more than anything, especially after episode 3. And when Powder became Jinx, I was saddened to see the sweet Powder turned into Jinx, a mad woman with PTSD and more. I love her so much, especially when she meets someone in season two.

The soundtrack is fire 🔥. But it definitely has a few ok songs. dynasties and dystopia is my favourite song from Season One.

Overall: A season of television that keeps me hooked and in tears while banging my head to the music. Everything about this season is just amazing and barely has any lows or bumps. 10/10.

Season 2:

Holy fuck… I have never cried this much before with a show. I’m still thinking about Episode 6 and I’m still listening to this perfect soundtrack.

Tho I love this season a lot, I can’t help but see that it felt a bit rushed with it all. This season has more flaws than the actual characters in it. But like I saw on a YouTube video, this season is “Beautifully Flawed”.

The Characters are back and there are more now. Sadly, most of them serve no purpose to the show at all. Like the Vander lookalike dude, he dies before he can even do anything helpful or heroic. But my favourite new character is obviously Isha and no, I don’t support the fact that a child sacrifices/kills herself. It’s never a good thing. And by episode 8 it’s proven pointless. Tho I cried like I was watching a real kid die in front of me. I love Isha so much but her death was sadly pointless. This show really likes to make you feel empty on the inside for days.

The season one characters are back and better than ever. With Caitlyn actually having character development now, even though it does take away time from her and Vi together for a unconsiderable amount of time in the season.

Vander coming back as Warwick was kinda pointless, tho it gave us Remember Me so yeah 😊. But the episode people were hating the most was episode 7, an episode where it focuses on where Ekko, Jayce and Hiemerdinger guy disappeared to after episode 3. It definitely ruined the pacing for act 3 a bit, but we got the French song so yeah, love that.

But I must talk about the soundtrack… this shit is perfect. Sucker is such a banger, To Ashes and Blood is perfect, Paint The Town Blue is a fun banger from Queen Ashnikko, Remember Me is so beautiful and underrated, Isha’s Song brings me PTSD, The French song makes me dance yet cry at the same time, The Line is so beautiful and fits perfectly in the 8th episode, Come Play is so underrated for a K-Pop song, and Wasteland breaks my heart every single time. As well as many of the other bangers.

Finally, the best part of this whole show, the animation is god tier and it did not need to go this fucking hard. Like when the music from the soundtrack plays in a scene, the animation is either cranked up or changed up completely, either way, they’re both equally fire.

Overall: this final season has a lot of flaws that I think is due to how rushed this season definitely felt. I don’t think this was supposed to be the final season but whatever, fuck Netflix. But I still love it so much and cried throughout every episode. I love this show a lot more than I originally thought when watching this show, but I love all of the characters and didn’t hate a single moment of this show, Despite this season actually needing a 10th episode.

10/10.
