Trip Hop

Mysterons: 8

Strangers: 7

It Could Be Sweet: 6 Persimmon time

Wandering Star: 10 Perfectly crafted song, not a single wasted note, every element hits at the right time and does exactly what I want to hear

It’s a Fire: 9

Numb: 9 Goddamn what a beat

Roads: 10 Just wanna drive away from all this man. Lemme reflect on the roads I've traveled and guess what comes from the stretch in front of me

Pedestal: 5 The sax solo's pretty swell

Biscuit: 3 No, this is too spooky 4 me

Glory Box: 9 Even when it rips, its subdued and smoky

Album: Mezzanine

Suffocated Love: 8

You Don’t: 6

Strugglin’: 9 Not a track I'm gonna listen to often obviously, but one of the experiences I'll remember of this rate. This drags, it feels like a weight on me for its six minute runtime.

Feed Me: 8

Album: Psyence Fiction

Guns Blazing (Drums of Death Part 1): 10 Man whose only experience with hip-hop is Run the Jewels: anyone else getting Run the Jewels vibes from this?

UNKLE (Main Title Theme): 8 Feels like I should be gazing at something a little

Bloodstain: 6

Unreal: 8

Lonely Soul: 8 The orchestra pulling a hard carry

Nursery Rhyme/Breather: 10 You ever had something to eat where you know its fucked up. But you go to order at the restaurant and the words come out of your mouth and its like why did I do that. This ends badly for you, the cook, the server, that guy ordering ten minutes after you who you overheard shittalk what's currently getting shoved eight inches deep down your facehole. But hell, sometimes, you just get that hankering. Thats what this song is after hours of trip hop, and baby, I'm starvin for some reeeeal garbage

Celestial Annihilation: 8 Battle theme for a dope late 90s sci-fi real time strategy game

The Knock (Drums of Death Part 2): 1 I can only protect you from bullying so much, UNKLE

Chaos: 8 Do you have a good sense of humor, or did you immediately want to reference that old-ass "Aliens." meme too?

Rabbit In Your Headlights: 6 Thom Yorke sings lyrics: i sleep; Thom Yorke just yells for a minute: real shit?
