    A second serving of Carly Rae Jepsen’s pure, lovesick pop is what to expect with ‘Dedicated’

    (05/31/19 8:30pm)

    Often times, when it comes to pop stars who failed to reach the  highest echelons of popularity after a short peak, it’s the material  that is released after their peak that can be the most interesting  displays. There are artists like Macklemore that continued to try and  capture what brought them fame in the first place, Gotye seemed to drop  off of the face of the earth with no new material ever to be released,  and artists like Kesha who found the lack of pressure from the worlds  expectation freeing and came out with their most daring, interesting  material.

    REVIEW: ‘Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo’ Episode 29: “Get to the Roman Colosseum!”

    (05/23/19 10:16pm)

    As Vento Aureo draws closer and closer to its conclusion, the stakes  keep rising higher. Not only are we at the last minor villain fight  before the final showdown with the big bad, but the part also recently  had its first major character death in Abbacchio. To quote a certain  recent blockbuster that also features superpowered people trying to take  down a murderous meme-spawning megalomaniac, “we’re in the Endgame  now.”

    Mac DeMarco’s ‘Here Comes the Cowboy’ rides in on a dry note

    (05/23/19 10:09pm)

    Compared to the rest of Mac DeMarco’s discography, Here Comes the Cowboy  didn’t quite live up to the standards of mellow grooviness that we’re  used to from this king of indie. An album-length listen is slow enough  to act as a calming sedative to the listener. It’s drawn out with  uninteresting—and in some cases predictable— arrangements that more or  less parallel DeMarco’s singing throughout the songs. His easy-going  voice is common amongst all of his albums, but this one seems to hold a  certain monotone dullness to it. The lyrics don’t necessarily shine  through either on the surface, but when you take a deeper dive into the  meaning, that’s really the only thing making this album one of the most  important in DeMarco’s career.

    ‘UglyDolls’ puts the “commercial” in “commercial flop”

    (05/18/19 4:00am)

    So, here we go again. Another movie based off another vaguely forgotten franchise from years past, made in an attempt to Dracula the clutter of eons ago into the new, hot fad of today. Normally, this kind of thing is reserved for franchises with mass appeal and nostalgia, like childhood TV shows, time-honored playthings, or even arcade machines.

    ‘Avengers: Endgame’ is the apotheosis of comic crossover action

    (05/17/19 5:24pm)

    Let’s be real with ourselves. There are only two types of people out there at the moment: people who have already seen Avengers: Endgame, and the poor souls who haven’t. You already know whether or not you’re going to see it, and all I can really do in this case is reaffirm whatever stance you have on seeing the darned thing.

    Laika’s ‘Missing Link’ is a heartfelt, if not scattered, marvel of stop-motion

    (05/11/19 11:00am)

    Over the last few years, no animation studio in the business has left as much of an impact as Laika. Known for films like Coraline and Kubo & The Two Strings, the Oregon-based stop-motion powerhouse is known for their willingness to take (comparatively) bold risks in storytelling and advance the stop-motion artform in revolutionary ways…and for the fact that the studio is the pet project of former rapper and heir to the Nike fortune, Travis “Chilly Tee” Knight.

    ‘Morbid Stuff’ finds PUP as one of the strongest alternative punk bands today

    (05/10/19 10:00pm)

     With their last full-length album, The Dream Is Over, PUP (Pathetic Use of Potential) provided excellent punk tunes with catchy choruses and strong guitar riffs. Now they have done the exact same thing three years later. The songs on Morbid Stuff are engaging, exciting, and well worth the wait. Listeners will find diversity throughout the music, along with fun choruses and great punk riffs. If Morbid Stuff says anything about PUP, it’s that they show no signs of slowing down.

    Four Fates’ debut EP, ‘Realms,’ starts the band off on a high note

    (05/10/19 7:00pm)

    Back in 2018, Alaria Spurling, lead guitarist and vocalist of Four Fates, needed three people to back her up for a tiny music festival in Bloomington, Indiana. This led to the formation of a band. Some of the songs they performed at this festival would end up being on their EP. After playing a show at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, the band began working on Realms, which released April 6. On this EP, a completely unique sound emerges as Spurling sings about sadness and trouble. Ian Chambers brings his own flair to the songs with his excellent drumming, Evan Tusing adds an Alter Bridge style to the guitars, and Adam Schaefer completely nails his bass lines. However, Realms’ faults lie in the production and a tiny bit in the structure.

    ‘Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice’ is a worthy successor to the ‘Soulsborne’ games

    (05/10/19 4:23pm)

    The developers at FromSoftware have made a name for themselves by creating the Soulsborne games. Consisting of the Dark Souls trilogy and Bloodborne, these games are notorious for their difficult gameplay. While this has turned off a lot of gamers, it also garnered a loyal fanbase. With the release of the last Dark Souls game back in 2016, fans of FromSoftware eagerly awaited what game the company would release next. With that game now finally released, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice proves to be another success for FromSoftware.

    ‘The Curse of La Llorona’ has been cursed to a life of mediocrity

    (05/07/19 8:13pm)

    In the beautiful countryside of Mexico, there once lived a gorgeous  woman named Maria. She fell for a rich ranchero, married the man she  loved and had two wonderful kids. Following a rough patch in their  marriage where her husband placed more attention on his children than  his wife, Maria witnessed her husband in the arms of a younger beauty.  In an fit of furious revenge, Maria drowned her two sons in a nearby  river. After she came to her senses and realized the extent of her  actions, she threw herself into those very same waters. That night,  villagers saw a figure sobbing along the banks of the river, wearing  Maria’s burial clothes and crying for the loss of her children. Today,  the weeping woman is said to comb the earth in search of misbehaving  children, luring them to bodies of water after dark to punish them for  their misdeeds.

    King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard move to uncharted territory once again with ‘Fishing for Fishies’

    (05/02/19 1:00pm)

    Australian band King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard  made 2017 their year. The band put out five records throughout the year,  with only a couple months in between each: Flying Microtonal Banana, Murder of the Universe, Sketches of Brunswick East, Polygondwanaland and Gumboot Soup.  The five records added up to a total of 13 albums in their entire  discography since 2012, making for an incredible work ethic. In 2018,  however, the band took a much-needed break, letting the five records  sink in with the fans to decipher where they fit in the “Gizzverse”.

    AJR’s ‘Neotheater’ provides songs for the subjective soul

    (05/02/19 2:43am)

    Neotheater, the third full-length album from AJR, provides  its audience with equal doses of grand symphonic energy and lyrical  introspective dread. Like their other albums, the themes focus on  self-reflection, but Neotheater revolves mainly around growing  up and going through the trials and tribulations of young adulthood.  They’ve outdone themselves yet again with their signature beats,  unconventional themes, and hard-hitting lyrics. This album is  light-hearted in its sound and heavy in its meaning. It’s pleasing not  only to ears but also to the maturing conscious, as the music helps us  dance through the troubles many of us are facing as we get older.

    REVIEW: ‘Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo’ Episode 27: “King Crimson vs Metallica”

    (05/02/19 2:41am)

    I consider myself a pretty strong woman when it comes to handling  depictions of violence in movies and TV. I’m generally unphased by most  graphic imagery in media and even enjoy myself a good bloody action romp  now and again. However, very few things are able to make me cringe as  much as the Metallica fight in Jojo. Even as someone who isn’t  very squeamish, I found the fight very difficult to stomach when I first  read Part 5 three years ago to the point where I had to look away from  the artwork just to finish reading the chapter. In spite of that, the  fight is still a fun romp that gives a spotlight to the mysterious boss  and his alternate persona Doppio.

    Lizzo masters the art of bold, bouncy, and bombastic pop on ‘Cuz I Love You’

    (05/02/19 2:37am)

    For the past few years, it has become more and more obvious that  Lizzo has what it takes to become a star. Not only has she proven with  songs like “Boys,” “Good As Hell,” and “Truth Hurts” that she has a  knack for writing tracks just begging to blow up, but she brings the  kind of larger-than-life personality. Both in and out of her music she  has made it clear what makes an artist like Cardi B an absolute  phenomenon.

    Mat Kerekes solo album, ‘Ruby’ is a refreshing melodic gem

    (04/24/19 1:49am)

    Mat Kerekes’ new solo album is a perfect, early-summer release filled  with simple but infectious melodies that function as flawless mood  music for the upcoming season. The soft grunge, post-hardcore album, Ruby, is breathing with the spirit of young freedom. Ruby  is a refreshing, feel-good creation, but it also captures a bit of  audio-induced nostalgia if you were really into the culture that allowed  punk rock to thrive.
