Recent Review Favorites
Here are my favorite tracks from the albums I’ve reviewed over the past week on this website. The artists are in the order I reviewed them, with the songs in my order of preference.
Kid606 – “Deep Lid Morgue”
A dark harsh noise piece.
Kid606 – “Lou Reed Gimped”
Creepy track that sounds like Lou Reed‘s Berlin being recalled in a nightmare.
Kid606 – “Die Rumpled Ego”
Probably the closest thing to Kid606’s hardcore electronic sound on the entire album, though the beat tempo seems to be turned up so fast that it becomes a very soothing monotone.
Kid606 – “Periled Emu God”
The dreamy, psychedelic centerpiece to the album.
Kid606 – “Dim Ego Prelude”
The opening track of Songs About Fucking Steve Albini could be a lost track from Kraftwerk‘s Autobahn.
The Chemical Distance – “No ‘Real’ Friend”
A Ministry-style rocker and the only song on The Pain & the Progress not ruined by vocals.
The Chemical Distance – “The Protector”
Instrumental track that lurks in the shadows.
The Chemical Distance – “Envy”
Frenetic instrumental track characterized by dueling guitars.
The Chemical Distance – “The Progress”
40-second outro that sounds like a child’s nightmare.
The Chemical Distance – “The Pain”
The somber minute-long intro.
