KMFDM: WWIII

SCORE: 98/100

KMFDM's 'WWIII' is another potent effort. It's a no-holds-barred energy fest that hits you instantaneously, letting the heavy guitars and experimental industrial sound doing all of the talking needed.

The vocals on 'WWIII' are a particularly enjoyable factor, with the blended performances coming together into one irresistible project that keeps the energy going almost nonstop. It's a striking display of what KMFDM is all about - and both fans of the band and new listeners surely won't be disappointed by this project.

'WWIII' is an infectiously enjoyable album. It's one that's hard to not adore, and it's immediately captivating with the raw energy and massive amount of power it holds. There's a huge consistency within this album while it experiments with new sounds that were not heard on the other projects of theirs that I have heard thus far.

There are some songs on this album that sound wildly unique for the standard that the band has set from what I have heard from them, and the experimentation and changes in their sound here are truthfully something worth marveling at. 

With KMFDM it's near impossible to pick discography highlights - but this album is one of many massive achievements. It feels like a huge victorious lap that shows off what the band is capable of to an incredibly comprehensive extent, and they do everything more than just well.

It's hard to make an album over 50 minutes go by as fast as KMFDM manage to do constantly, and this album is yet another wonderful showcase of the sheer power they hold as a band. Each element comes together into a ravenously powerful album; each riff and hit of the drums leading into something huge, loud, and the best kind of abrasive possible.

"Brown Cookies" (Brown Butter & Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies)

Image
My very own "brown cookies" were a product of experimentation done for a foods course that I am currently enrolled in. Using brown sugar (no granulated) and brown butter together rather than the traditional creamed butter and brown/granulated combo, the result is a more flavorful and rich cookie.  Baking temperature : 350 ° Fahrenheit (180 °  Celsius)  Bake time : 13-15 minutes depending on the size of the cookies Ingredients: 2 cups (one large stick) unsalted butter 3 3/4 cups brown sugar 4 eggs 6 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoons salt 3 tablespoons baking powder 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (measurements don't matter for this one) Chocolate chips (as much or as little you want) Instructions: Melt the stick(s) of butter in a saucepan (lightly colored if possible) on medium heat on the stovetop. Mix continuously until the butter has a nutty and strong aroma and is foamy. The foam will subside, leaving you with a golden-brown butter. There will be brown flecks in the bu...

SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE: FRESH

Image
SCORE: 87/100 Sly and the Family Stone are a band with undoubtable and undeniable charm, with Sly Stone being one of the most unique frontmen to ever grace the music industry with his quirky vocal performances and pacing alongside the delightful instrumentation led by the rest of the band, 'Fresh' indeed still sounds fresh decades after its initial release. The album is delightfully funky and wonderfully fun, with the tracks coming together to make a consistent and enjoyable project that is well worth its 39 minute runtime, 'Fresh' is an absolute gem in the funk genre that is far too overlooked when compared to other similar albums. 'Fresh' works best as a all-in-one-go album, with the tracks feeling more like they work on the album than they would outside of the general context of the album. There are some obvious highs and lows throughout the album - but it stays consistent enough to be enjoyable throughout its runtime. Each vocalist does their part very well ...

DEFTONES: GORE

DEFTONES: GORE SCORE: 89/100 A shorter and less favored album for many, Deftones' 2016 albums hits the right spots and returns to the form found throughout their 2006 opus 'Saturday Night Wrist'.  For many, 'Gore' manages to be the weakest effort in the deeply complex and delightful discography of the band. It is a less praised album overall - which I was immediately confused by upon playing the first track. The album has the same complexity as their other projects - having a more modern sound and using different soundscapes to make the album unique from their other projects while still keeping the cohesion of their albums up to par.  It's a striking comeback that engulfs their discography with more heavy & scenic tracks, with each song having a different sound than the last and the album coming together quite well. There are some weaker moments on this album and it feels less polished than their previous works, but it is an incredibly solid and great projec...
