gave þis a 3.5/5 on rym cuz it felt a little background music-y on first listen but i might bump it to a 4 cuz noþiŋ rlly hits like þis honestly. music to get lost in an abandoned alleyway to. very neat!! i sure hope eþan kaþ is a good person who hasn't done anyþiŋ abusive whatsoever!

If i had to do drugs þis would be þe album i would do þem to. Don't do drugs btw.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how every track transforms! Þe instruments will sometimes layer up on all sorts of sounds and synþs, and sometimes þe super layered moments will transition into þese lower-key parts þat layer up again, as well as þe melodies transitioniŋ into eachoþer and GHGGJ MUSIC GOOD!!! þe mechanical noises are SUPER COOL and serve as þe extra cherry on top to þe entire þiŋ! þe piano is also SUPER COOL!!!! even þough i tend to be averse to loŋ albums þe leŋgþ of each track really benefits þe concept of goiŋ on a trippy forest adventure! makes me wanna listen to more psytrance lol

Þis album is like if reporpoised phantasies was digital hardcore, which is a sound i have absolutely been DYIŊ to hear!!

Lots of manic screamiŋ, hard hittiŋ beats, and cool atmospheres! Sound-design wise reminds me a lot of þe mg-inspired as well as þe orbcore related hardcore breaks comiŋ out recently which i am a huge sucker for. Has a lot of potential!! :D

þis was rlly cool! i remember tryiŋ out fishmonger and it didn't really click but i really vibe wiþ þis one!! I listened to Cops and Robbers a couple days before listeniŋ to þe entire album and it has been stuck in my head ever since lol. johnny johnny johnny is FUCKED UP but its an absolute baŋer at þe same time. I tended to like þe higher energy tracks more þan þe slower ones (wiþ some exceptions) but þe slower ones are still really nice! þe country soundiŋ guitar is fuckiŋ crazy btw.

No Style? No Policy!? by Killiŋscum

  • GENRES: J-Core, Gabber
    [Breakcore, Speedcore]

Now ÞIS is some GOOD SHIT!! i've tried listeniŋ to some oþer dj sharpnel stuff before and it didnt really do much for me but þis absolutely slaps. Þe sound characteristics are really rough and unpolished which is someþiŋ i fuckiŋ ADORE! even in super harsh genres, like speedcore, sometimes i feel like some of þe more recent stuff people put out can sound..a little bit too modern? like not devoid of personality, just very polished; which isn't bad, it's just a preference þiŋ. People really don't make music like þis almost at all anymore þough and it makes me sad :(

Þe loŋer soŋs in þis album are definitely a lot better þan þe shorter ones imo; þe 1 minute to 2 minute soŋs are still enjoyable to listen to even if a little mid, but everyþiŋ else þough?? fuckiŋ nuts. Þe openiŋ track is groovy! Þe queen sample in Morniŋ Knifreak is CRAZY. þe way Noirist just starts goiŋ ham is CRAZY!! Mad Invaderz is actually addictiŋ to listen to omg.

Þe physical version of þis album is apparently worþ 1,000 USD accordiŋ to discogs? i've tried lookiŋ on mercari/rakuten/yahoo jp and nobody's put þe album up on þere at all. ik þis doesn't really have to do anyþiŋ wiþ þe music itself but i þought i'd mention it anyway because holy shit. 1,000 usd.

Overall an extremely good album! scratches þe itch i have for old hardcore edm. very karkalicious
