Every year I say I'm not going and every year I eventually go to the Christmas party because the open bar is TOP SHELF and I like getting tanked with doctors who are paying

D.o.S., that Dawn Ray'd album is excellent, I honestly liked it from the first track. Has a real Bathory sort of vibe to it. The drumming and vocals would not be out of place in a melodic hardcore band. The violin brings serious atmosphere. Love it.
I forgot the new Brand New - Science Fiction - Vince's guitar work is front and centre. "137" is the standout track from me. I've been listening for a while now and it's excellent. I am saddened, however, by recent allegations of sexual misconduct against Jesse Lacey. I never looked up to him or anything, it's just still extremely disappointing and obviously, you guys can have a field day with it. I hope he just owns up to it and makes amends
EDIT: He made a statement, I thought it was alright

I do really like this Bell Witch album. You can't make a single track that's an hour and a half long without begging comparison to Sleep, Sunn, and Boris, but of course I think they're trying to insert themselves into that lineage and that's okay with me because I always welcome new music like that. The band's aesthetic, both sonically and visually, is on point as always. Reapers, witches, ghosts, etc., it's all noice...

I've been a fan for probably 13 years or so and this is their most exciting record in a while. Just rips super hard.

There’s two to skip on the new Converge. Everything else is really great.

Hey! Let's talk about serious thing. We're gonna talk about guitar, dude.

My 2017 consumption has been limited...in more than 1 sense of the word...but I bought some vinyl...
DJ Brace - Apatheia
The Du-Rites - Greasy Listening
Vince Staples - Big Fish
First 2 drew me in right away, infectiously. The VS is far more challenging & abrasive, all 3 keep getting better with subsequent play.
Singles dl in need of deluxe 7" treatment:
Lil B - Ride (Hold Up)
The jam of jams; shoutout to driving songs with rolling basslines.
Tyler, the creator - Pothole (feat JADEN SMITH)
How much I've grown to dig this surprises me.

Another The Bug EP, and maybe his six millionth collab with Flowdan. It's a bit weak to be honest, Flowdan especially can do so much better than this but none of it ever really goes anywhere.
