Blanck Mass - World Eater

The sound on this album is less of a surprise than the previous two albums and seems to have less longevity imo

just thought I'd hop into Watmm HQ and proclaim that I think this album is bloomin' bonkers and I love it

thank you and have a nice day

Yeah nothing touches this so far this year, current fave

Rhesus Negative is completely bonkers and makes the album, don't rrreeeaalllyyy like the rest that much. How one track can make an album amiright

Rhesus Negative is a beast, but on its own it wouldn't be as strong as it is if it wasn't between the introductory fuckery of Carnival of Terror and the mind-melting comedown of Please (which as a single failed to impress but in context is also amazing). Silent Treatment->Minnesota/Eas Fors/Naked->Hive Mind is another unfuckwithable sequence that is enhanced by listening to it front to back. Honestly The Rat is the weakest moment on the album, but I think that's only because it sounds like a leftover from Dumb Flesh - he's evolved past it at this point. And it's still a banger.

edit for derp.

I agree with it all, I didn't see the derp but would probably agree with that too

I hit enter halfway through that paragraph and it posted it, whups

I listened to this but it was not pleasurable to listen to. Sorry. What am I missing here folks? I have not listened to any Blanck Mass before - at first I felt guilty but then I was glad I had avoided them. 0 charm, just bog standard non-techno from the 2010s. It gets noisy, it gets quiet, it has samples, it has treated vocals, it has some beats with slow moving bass, but it doesn't do those things for any reason or emotional impact.

A checklist of electronic music tropes for a pitchfork review.

It slaps basically idk

An hour guest spot from last week on 6music for the Freakzone. Contains some great psychedelic music that is tasty listening.

This album still kicks ass. Think it's my AOTY don't think anything else between now and December will be able to touch it.

You're out of your element, DLo.

I literally just grasped how he came up with the name, riffing off "black mass".

anyway yes, love this stuff. the combined effect of his beat production and melodic elements creates this lush emotive/futuristic environment I've always imagined in my mind.

Love this album ♥

i’m 100% in camp d-lo on this one. entirely unremarkable record imo

(stav voice) hell yes bitch

this is the album nick was mixing in the ibm commercial

This was one of Bleep's albums top ten of 2017. Taking a look at their list, it's wholly unremarkable. Some of their choices are completely dire. Most of them actually.
