Even though it slightly overstays its welcome and is not nearly as original as the blogosphere would like to have you believe, Deathconsciousness by Have A Nice Life is easily the most important album of the year so far and should be heard by everyone. After reportedly five years in the making, this lo-fi masterpiece conjures a mood so harrowing and overbearingly sombre that it makes funeral doom records sound like Barney's theme song.

Brilliant. Bewitching. Bright. Beautiful. Breathtaking. Bemusing... All that and so much more. Nothing short of a wonderful experience! In any case, a highly applauded album you should hear before you die. Thryce's picks | More picks ›› |

Not a single comment on this absolute masterpiece? For shame.

Written by Boxcar Willy on 30.01.2018 at 03:18 There are comments in the review, though not many seem to get it. It's not perfect, but there's nothing quite like it. (Even the review is desperate to find comparisons to downplay its uniqueness, but they're really quite far-fetched.) Just yesterday, I was inspired to make a Spotify playlist that would gather stuff with a certain mood and sonic range, songs that otherwise fall into different lists because I do them by genre. Essentially, I wanted to listen to The Angelic Process, Menace Ruine, and the Microphones when I listened to Have a Nice Life, so it grew from there. I called it Fuzzconsciousness.

Written by IronAngel on 11.02.2018 at 16:31 I get a little bit of a Jesu vibe sometimes form the music but it's very unique and I love it a lot. There are so many textures and so much atmosphere. That reminds me, I should listen to Menace Ruine!

Despite the punk theme having to be prevalent somewhere and be on the cringe names at the three-quarter mark, it's the quality of those actual songs themselves that hinder the main quality being its gravitational pull of quasi-drone, urban DSBM/ gothic vibing weight. You can tell how they pretty much removed that crap for refining the flow on The Unnatural World.

This is one of those albums that I'm so grateful that they exist.

One of the best albums made in the 2000s and probably even of all time.

"Holy Fucking Shit: 40,000" is an incredible song title.

Written by Boxcar Willy on 07.12.2023 at 16:12 Could you explain it to me, then? :/ I never understood it even with lyrics in hand. What is so great about a boardgame?

Written by X-Ray Rod on 07.12.2023 at 18:30 It’s not that great, really. Typical DnD-style nerd stuff. The video games are better. Also fuck Games Workshop and their petty dislike for fan-made animations.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 07.12.2023 at 18:30 I wasn't even aware it was referencing anything.  I thought it was just funny because it's stupid. Reminds me of the random style Jeff memes. Maybe my sense of humor is broken.

Worthy music, but the style and production are not my cup of tea.
