NTTR - No Time to Review

Everything Changes Everything Stays the Same unfolds as a brilliantly timeless set of guitar-driven pop, rich with nostalgic melody yet radiating a fresh vitality decades later. It feels like it could have been recorded in 1985, yet sounds improbably vibrant today—proof that great indie-pop doesn’t fade. Produced by Sean Read (of Dexys), it retains the original lineup's chemistry while polishing the sound for modern clarity. Songs like “Ten Years” carry emotional weight wrapped in Beatles-like hooks and wistful lyrics of passing time. The album is a long-awaited debut that feels both right on time and beautifully out of time.

Trouble by Gina Birch is a fearless art-punk manifesto that flips introspection into rebellion, blending playful electronics with raw, feminist fury. Its opener, “I Thought I’d Live Forever,” addresses aging and mortality with trip-hop beats under a message of survival. The centerpiece “Causing Trouble Again” erupts as a punky rally, listing names of defiant women over growing intensity—equal parts homage and battle cry. Tracks like “Doom Monger” and “Keep to the Left” juxtapose smooth, dub-inflected grooves with biting political commentary, while “Cello Song (Tape Echo)” softens with chamber textures and emotional gravity. The album is a cinematic patchwork of moods—quirky, urgent, and profoundly personal—a declaration from an icon still pushing boundaries.

Mar da Deriva unfolds as a triptych of dreamlike sonic odysseys, each hybridizing folk, ambient, and black metal into a hallucinatory voyage. The album flows seamlessly from slow acoustic introductions to tempestuous black metal outbursts—then retreats again into serene synth and flute passages. It conjures sweeping, otherworldly landscapes where flutes, arpeggiated acoustic guitars, and bird sounds overlay brutal riffing and blast beats, immersing the listener in emotional contrast. While rooted in tradition, the album is elevated by Lemos’s masterful melding of violence and beauty, tension and release. Ultimately, it stands as Vauruvã’s most compelling work yet—dreamy, bold, and profoundly cinematic.  Genre : Atmospheric Black Metal Country : Brazil Final Verdict: 65% (Good Album) Yearly Ranking: 152th / 562 Highlight : Legado Made me think of: Wolves in the Throne Room Panopticon Alcest #newalbum #newalbum2025 #albumrelease #newmusic #albumoftheday #nowspinning #NowPlaying #m...

Asunojokei’s Think of You channels effervescent blackgaze energy that feels both uplifting and crushingly emotive. Swirling guitar melodies ride atop blast beat propulsion, weaving shoegaze textures with visceral intensity that recall Alcest-like grandeur. Despite its aggressive undercurrent, the album maintains a hopeful buoyancy that fans describe as “fun and upbeat,” while still rooted in raw emotion. Its polish and soaring lead guitar stand out, creating a luminous yet volatile soundscape. This is Asunojokei at their most expressive: technically fierce, emotionally radiant, and unabashedly soaring.

Assaltos e Batidas is a sonic gut-punch that revives the roots of Brazilian rap through gritty beats, incisive samples, and a politically urgent message. FBC positions himself as a chronicler of the favela, weaving in references to Racionais MC’s, Facção Central, BaianaSystem, and even Brazilian cinema, turning the record into a multimedia manifesto — accompanied by a short film. The album is, in his words, “a dirty and beautiful portrait of the Brazil no one wants to see,” both nostalgic and firmly rooted in today’s social realities. With production from Coyote Beatz, Pepito, DJ Cost, and Nathan Morais, it balances lyrical sharpness with cinematic intensity. The result is one of Brazil’s most powerful rap records in recent years, uncompromising in both artistry and political conviction.

Psycho‑Frame’s debut is a feral rebirth of deathcore — high-speed blast beats and chugging brutality are injected with tech-death flair and razor-sharp riff dynamics. The album resists genre stagnation, with disco-caliber drum patterns and polyrhythms that nod to The Dillinger Escape Plan’s chaotic mastery. Tracks like “Blueprints for Idol Genocide” and “Inverted Spear of Heaven” deliver viscous breakdowns and precise aggression, yet “Neuro++Terror” showcases their growing adventurousness. Critics praise its lean runtime and relentless fury, while still allowing space for occasional breathing room and songwriting growth. It’s an uncompromising, fun, and meticulously executed return to deathcore’s most primal strengths.
