Review by Blake 


A classic from the classical era of Nintendocore. From the golden age of Myspace, no doubt about it! Hell, I loved this project then. But the question is my bromies, does it still hold up? Is it still a nice album, or just a nostalgic piece of crap? Let us go through, the cyber zone.

Vocals: To be honest, they aren't bad, especially for the genre in mind. Unfortunately, they aren't the highest quality nor the best, but whatev. More of a personal thing I would imagine, but is better than Trout Yogurt vox.

Drums: The drums I am pretty sure it is just drumkit from hell on this album, but not a bad affair. I do feel as if the kick drums is too dominating and if the drums are too basic, but there are nice parts and they certainly do the job, but they could be done better.

Guitar: It's the show chuggington if it was about guitar playing mixed with power chords and some distortion. A little too simple but it fits the album just fine. Just wish more was done with it.

Lyrics: God, these are such relics I don't know how to take them. But hey, they are entertaining.

Synths:A mix between amazing or at least cool (Support synths) to "Nice shit, but be creative mate" (Lead Synth melodies). It's a good yet bad thing. I view it as good, but I cant rate it too high due to lack of originality :((((((

Mixing:You can hear everything, but it is unintentionally lower quality and should have been mixed better for swaggier brutal tones bro.

Album Art: It is classic NxC right here. Either really bad or really good shit for this genre's era in album art. This is donkey poo (No Shrek/ No Love)
Overall Opinion: An album that wasn't a bad entry for the genre at the time and remains a classic for that, if nothing else. Honestly, the album that had the Brutal Nintendocore formula and did it well was Dinotrax's "Origins". But this isn't that great, but isn't a terrible listen, worth checking out for history's sake.
Final Verdict: 6.5/10

Review by Matt
The best nintendocore album of 2014 may have come without a single breakdown. Volcan Tea Party is a band from The Redlands, CA that manages to channel the legends of dream pop while still maintaining a strong sense of individuality. A firm believer in minimalism, VTP’s true glory lies in its ability to take a single idea and expand it into a breath taking soundscape. Lonely pianos and bass lines grow and evolve into lush layers of reverb and full bodied synthesized walls of sound, all topped off with a gorgeous and hypnotizing lead vocal.
The singing on this album serves a double purpose. It acts both as an additional layer of notes building upon the relaxing instrumentals as well as a powerful platform to display the vivid imagery provided in the lyrics. Themes of existentialism, loneliness, and redemption run through this album, keeping the message as full and encompassing as the songs themselves. Lines such as “Your image masticates my brain” drive home how painful the memories that inspired this album were; it’s amazing that such tortured lines can be given with a cool, nonchalant delivery.
Overall, this album crafts itself into a virtually flawless experience that I can’t even bring myself to find a negative aspect of. Long live the wall of sound.

Final Grade: A+
Key track: Enticing Simper
