Jun 28, 2024 @AOTWClub Paris Texas - Mid Air This was another new discovery for me thanks to this club. I’d heard about Paris Texas before because I’m a pretty big lana del rey fan, and for some reason I assumed that soundwise they’d be similar to JPEGMAFIA or BROCKHAMPTON (on a sidenote, I actually have gone to Paris, Texas before. Nothing too special aside from an eiffel tower with a cowboy hat on top) I actually really dug this album. Definitely more rock influenced than i expected. I love almost every single instrumental and dear god, these guys are amazing at hooks. The verses were really good too with my favorites being on “Everybody Safe Until” and “Full English”. I’ll definitely check out their debut at some point and I can’t wait to see what they release next. Favorites: tenTHIRTYseven, Sean-Jared, Nüwhip, Everybody Safe Until, Lift Off, Earth-2, Airborne, Full English Rating: 9/10
Jun 28, 2024 Favorite Tracks- TenTHIRTYseven, Lift Off, Ain't No High, We Fall Least Favorite Tracks - Split-Screen, Bullet Man, Nuwhip, Earth-2 This won't be a long review. Album was okay. Not my style but still pretty easy to listen to. 6/10 @AOTWClub I like the diversity among the albums, each one of them was unique but i'm hoping to find one that finally resonates enough to earn a 8+ rating from me. None of them have quite hit that mark yet. But none of them were bad. Well except.. You know the one
Jun 29, 2024 Choosing JPEGMAFIA as my pick on here felt like showing the album to victorian era child
Jun 29, 2024 Thanks brother It's all good though I already knew what I was in for when I posted it lol
Jun 29, 2024 hey, I came here for the s--- I never heard before rather than someone picking The Eminem Show or Illmatic so I appreciate the pick
Jun 29, 2024 Speaking of Em, I really cannot wait to see this thread when TDOSS drops and where it ranks
Jun 29, 2024 @AOTWClub Paris Texas - MID AIR Standouts: Nüwhip, PANIC!!!, Everybody's Safe Until, Full English, Lana Del Rey Skips: tenTHIRTYseven, Split-Screen, Ain't No High Best Features: Teezo Touchdown Score: 5/10 Final Thoughts (Skit): ngl I thought I was gonna hate this after listening to the first two tracks but then it became a more enjoyable experience as it went on, it didn't change my life but it didn't make it worse either, I guess it was ok
Jun 29, 2024 hargydon’s Review of MID AIR Firstly, I feel like MID AIR attempts to encapsulate a sense of disorientation & turbulence. These themes/concepts are at the same time intriguing, & ambitious. So I immediately appreciated the original style attempts, a niche I desperately want to hear more attempts at. Going into this I was curious, as this is the first time I’ve heard of this duo, but after multiple spins of the record, I’m not sure they have a big enough flare as performers or writers to pull this one off, at least yet. I thought the production, blending gritty, distorted guitars with heavy, trap-inspired beats completely overshadowed their capabilities. I actually found their performances quite annoying lol. This was quite a disjointing experience because I tried to like it so bad but it just never happened. Rating: 5/10 @AOTWClub
Jun 29, 2024 this is the first album that made me feel old cause I literally thought to myself "what is this racket?" on the first track
