Music Journal: Feb 2025

    I thought I was going to skip this month because I didn't listen to any new music, but then I listened to all of these in the last day of Feburary lol.

    this list is in chronological order! Favorites for this month are marked with a "✰"

    Sonic Dragolgo - My Sweet Honey Bunny

    1999 / Gabber / Speedcore

    No matter how low you turn down the volume your ears WILL hurt. Genuinely felt a little nauseous I had to take a few breaks. love it.

    Top Tracks: MIFFY, MY SWEET HONEY BUNNY

    Phuture Noize - Silver Bullet

    2020 / Rawphoric

    I like the shifts from synthpop to hardstyle, it's a softer hardstyle (lol?) sound that's appealing to me. But the good production weakened by the nothing lyricism. It seems like the only thing they know is AB rhymes, and it's so literal. Super clunky. "Masquerade" is a good song tho.

    Top Tracks: Masquerade

    ✰ サカナクション (Sakanaction) - DocumentaLy

    2011 / Electropop

    Every song feels like taking a sip of a crissppyy sprite. They're all unique and can stand on their own but they fit altogether very nicely. It makes for an album you can listen start to finish again and again. and I did ^^

    Top Tracks: モノクロトウキョー, ルーキー

    ✰ Moron Police - The Stranger and the Hightide

    2021 / Country Rock

    A short but super strong EP! I love the mix of western and progressive rock. Appartently these guys also do metal, I can definitely hear that influence :). The vocals are quite fun too.

    Top Tracks: The Power of Jesus, Parachutes

    I think I have more vocabulary for describing what I don't like vs what I do. That's kinda disappointing. In fact there was two more albums I listened to I excluded because I felt like the negative would overpower the positive. Even tho the albums I liked, I really really liked! It feels like my enthusiasm isn't going through. Bleh. Well something else to work on. Thanks for reading!
