Fuck me, Fuck The Algorithm is fucking fucked-up …

… in a fucking good way, obviously.

Eclectic is an over used term in music reviews: usually merely indicating that a country/Americana act strays occasionally into CSNY territory, or a blues outfit manage at least once to leaven their relentless Chicago dumpa-dumpa-dumpa-dumpa with a splash of NOLA syncopation …

And there’s nothing wrong with either of those, but in the eight tracks of manic, maniacal, genre-mangling mash-ups of Fuck The Algorithm Mango Thomas redefines ‘eclectic’ as an ADHD chameleon on acid in a kaleidoscope during a laser-strobe light-show.

The opening track alone, Pjunkle, careens between a blizzard of high-speed machine drum, guitar and incandescently furious growled vox, and Eastern-spiced spacey electronica interlaced with lithe bass lines, burbling synths and melodic harmonised guitar… via a metal-cum-drum’n’bass maelstrom. Oh yeah, plus a closing ferocious excoriation of the www.

Musically that pretty much sets the template (of there being no template) for what comes after: a relentlessly-grinding deconstructed boogie opens Punk Bitch, breaking down to a beats-and-Parklife-on-steroids rap interspersed with fusiony guitar squiggles and playfully venomous music-hall psychedelia; a surprisingly stonery laid-back late-night jazz passage from electric piano and loose-limbed drums gives way first to minimalist jamband death metal twin-guitar lines, then a double-speed pogoing anthem, before a hanging close reprise of the ‘stoner jazz’ piano…

Hypnotically deep trancefloor bass, bubbling marimba-like accents and textured string synths underpin the increasingly urgent mantra of Whaddya Want, which canters (via some nice 80s samples and a Moroderesque hook) into a wall of melodic prog-fusion guitar and tricksy timings, ending in a staccato, punchy dead-stop.

Headlock almost convinces you it’s just the one thing: the complex percussive techno banger runs nearly half its 4-plus minutes with no more quirks beyond a bit of rapping and an occasional (very accomplished) noodling fretless bass… until that bass line returns in a full-on rendition augmented with guitar and increasingly abandoned multi-voice wordless “Na, na, na-na”s sounding like a terrace-chant Bond theme, rising to a wild peak.

As with Mango Thomas Goes De.EP his previous release, Fuck The Algorithm includes a trio of mini-tracks: Did You Mean’s spoken voice/SFX humorous rant against the Siri-tyranny of patronising suggestions; #fuckthealgorithm, a reprise of the polemic from Pjunkle set over a rather Hawkindish interstellar overdrive start-up; and Frosty Mornings, which actually does stick to its single groove of smoothly-swaying soully electric piano, heartbeat pulse rhythms and lush synth strings (although the swirling modulation, panning and phasing add an unexpected off-kilter spacey edge).

By seven tracks in, we’re all Mango Thomas veterans now, so Algorithms’ light and airy acoustic picking and mellow folky troubadour vox-led ‘love song’ aren’t fooling anybody… sure enough, the expected Oi-meets-Nu-Metal explosion of syn-drum and gutsy guitar heralds a blokey belted-out “We’re all algorithms” denunciation of the foregoing syrupy delusions, topped with very Frippish atonal guitar and a deconstructed brassy jazz-funk finale.

Now, this might all sound like a recipe for disaster, or at least a cacophonous dog’s dinner, and in the hands of someone less adept it could well be... but Mango Thomas pulls the feat off with considerable aplomb. Fuck The Algorithm is one of a handful of home-grown albums that has had me grooving and grinning simultaneously and, even more rare, laughing out loud at its invention, audacity and sheer joyous insanity. It’s fucking brilliant!

Oh yeah, almost forgot…

Someone help me I keep finding these things for < 20 USD because they're advertised as non working. Then with some minor adjustments they work perfectly fine?? It's becoming a weirdly specific problem of mine.

No one asked for it but im doing it anyways 😎✨

All my ships with the hc's i have for them. And yes i mean ALL

We doin Deamus rn but i do others later 👌

Dean:

1. Rlly calm and paitent

2. Thinks its absolutely adorable when Seamus: yawns, laughs, pouts, tilts his head slightly in confusion, vibrates with excitement, is half asleep

3. Loves and i mean LOVES Seamus' hair (its rlly soft and fluffy and smells like chocolate)

4. Likes to ruffle Seamus' hair

5. Def helps him through the portrait hole thing (forgot name for it and im to lazy to look it up srry)

6. Likes putting an arm around Seamus' shoulders

7. Not to talkative but does like to ramble on about football or other random things occasionally

8. Draws Seamus constantly

9. Will give Seamus his jacket when he forgets it (lets be honest here, knowing Seamus, he probably accidentally set it on fire)

10. Noticed he liked Seamus by 3rd year

11. By 5th year he realized his love for Seamus was more than just a crush

12. Becomes more shy and embarrassed around Seamus by 5th year

13. Has memorized Seamus' favorite sweets (theres a lot)

14. Feels pained whenever Seamus obliviously does things like grabbing his hand when its cold, complimenting Dean on how fit he is, accidentally getting a little to close, hugging him for a few moments to long

15. Dean didn't entirely have a crush in Ginny (she didn't like him like that rlly either) but they had a rough break up any ways, eventually they became friends again, realizing how silly they were to dislike each other for a stupid argument

16. Definitely bisexual

17. Dean is a top

18. Lives for Seamus' hugs

19. Desperately trying to ask Seamus out with the latter being obliviously unaware

20. Obviously calls Seamus 'Shay'

21. Hates seeing Seamus hurt and completely FREAKS OUT when its rlly bad

22. Has rlly warm body

....................................................................................................

Seamus:

1. Super energetic

2. Has a fiery temper

3. Surprisingly good at cooking

4. Not usually serious but when he is he's deathly serious

5. Either happy and cheerful or fiery and furious

6. Gives the absolute best hugs

7. Loves to hug Dean

8. Rlly oblivious and didn't realize he liked Dean till halfway through 5th year

9. Loves fireworks

10. Thinks Dean is to poetic

11. Usually forgets his jacket or sets it on fire

12. Rlly sensitive (Dean literally just has to tap him and Seamus will squirm and blush)

13. Doesn't notice Dean trying to ask him out til Neville mentions it causally, conversation goes something like:

Neville: ...and we know how Dean keeps trying to ask Seamus out, poor guy

Seamus: w-what!?

Ron: seriously mate?

Harry: its quite obvious, i mean, even I noticed!

14. Gets sunburned rlly easy

15. Asked out Dean (after realizing he returned the feelings)

16. Kissed Dean first

17. When he's mad/yelling his accent is stronger (wich renders Dean useless during the few arguments they have as he just thinks Seamus is adorable and forgets he's supposed to be mad)

18. Only Dean can call him Shay. No one else

19. Has RLLY warm hands

20. Loves spending Christmas/Summer break with Dean when he invites him over (almost every Christmas/Summer break)

21. I have accepted the hc that he usually just hangs around in the common room in only his boxers and it becomes a problem when he hits puberty in 4th year

22. Gets into fights more than necessary (worries the hell out of Dean)

23. Gay

24. Might be asexual (still doesn't know but has no desire for sex but he has no repulsion for it either. Just no opinion of it rlly)

25. Clings to Dean constantly in winter (he's rlly warm)

26. Rlly insanely stubborn

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Other ships with Seamus: none

Other ships with Dean: none

thomas sanders collabing with b*tch h*rtman will always be wild to me. like why would the guy who outwardly pushes a conservative agenda work with one of the biggest openly gay youtubers

#like that sanders sides vid came out 5 years ago so it was probably before bitch fartman went on his crazy conservative journey #but still like what?#mangoes thoughts #sanders sides #thomas sanders
