I love the format of a new JoJo and story every season, and as a result there’s a distinct vibe to each Part. That beingContinue reading “Every “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” Part Ranked Worst To Best (Anime)”
“Paranoid” – Songs Ranked
I always knew “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath was considered a classic, especially since I love a few of the famous tracks dearly, but it’s only after sitting down and listening to the whole thing that I finally appreciate it fully. There are so many bangers, and even the “worst” songs have charm … but howContinue reading ““Paranoid” – Songs Ranked”
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Stone Ocean” Episodes Ranked
I’ve finally watched all of the JoJo anime! I knew going into “Stone Ocean” that it would be a controversial Part, and I even took a half year break in the middle to do other things … but after binging the last few episodes I can now say I’ve watched every episode. I won’t lieContinue reading “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Stone Ocean” Episodes Ranked”
“Larks’ Tongues In Aspic” – Songs Ranked
I’m loving King Crimson more with each passing day. Over time I’m building up a nice catalogue of songs I enjoy, which in turn is making some of their albums an excellent experience on the whole. “Larks’ Tongues In Aspic” was initially too out-there for my tastes, but with repeated listens I’m starting to reallyContinue reading ““Larks’ Tongues In Aspic” – Songs Ranked”

“Bat Out Of Hell” – Songs Ranked
I’ve always liked Meat Loaf and his bombastic approach to Rock music, but for some reason recently I can’t get his “Bat Out Of Hell” era out of my head. It has some banger songs … as well as some forgettable ones. How would I rank them all? Before we begin, you can check outContinue reading ““Bat Out Of Hell” – Songs Ranked”
20 Random Songs Ranked [3]
It’s time for the third installment in the “Matt shows off random songs he likes that he otherwise wouldn’t have showed off”. Rules are the same as always – I put my “Liked Songs” Spotify playlist on shuffle and ranked the first twenty songs (maximum three per artist, and no repeats from my previous lists).Continue reading “20 Random Songs Ranked [3]”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Foreign Turnabout” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 1)
After many of these mini retrospectives, we’ve finally reached the most recent of the mainline games – “Spirit Of Justice”. We have a new country to explore this time around … and yet Phoenix seems to stumble across a murder case wherever he goes. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and givingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Foreign Turnabout” (Spirit Of Justice – Case 1)”
“The Rise of the Golden Idol” – Every Level Ranked
I recently replayed “The Rise of the Golden Idol” because the DLC “The Sins Of New Wells” came out, and while playing I remembered how I’d ranked all of the levels in the original game. It only seems fair to give the sequel the same treatment (and this time, yet again, I’ll add a littleContinue reading ““The Rise of the Golden Idol” – Every Level Ranked”
