underrated as hell bro listen to this shit

青葉市子 [Ichiko Aoba] - "Windswept Adan" Concert at Bunkamura Orchard Hall
95

Just got around to this, I remember listening to the album for the first time in 2020 and it instantly becoming my go to album for the rest of that year, and even to this day, when I want something calmer.
I initially rated the album a 97, though I wasn't on this website back then, and I think this is nearly as good.
The original recording is a 10/10 album for me, and this is a version that I love nearly as much.
Couldn't be happier with this release, Ichiko Aoba consistently makes the most ... read more

Jockstrap - Glasgow
98

Easily one of the best things I've heard all year.
Masterpiece of a track.
The writing on the last few jockstrap tracks has been phenomenal, and the production here is just euphoric. Beautiful.

Pharrell Williams - Cash In Cash Out
68

Tyler did amazing, 21 did his shit too, enjoyed the verses a lot. But the production is just not good. The idea is good, but the execution is really bad. A better mix and a slightly better pattern would elevate this so much.

EDIT: Production grew on me, it's hype, but 21's verse shrunk on me a bit, overall an alright track, though I would expect more out of such a collaboration. (60 --> 68)

Joji - Glimpse of Us
77

Very pretty track, but feels like it's missing something. The song structure feels a bit shaky especially near the pre chorus, but the writing is nice and the atmospherics are pretty cool too.

DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - Call You
92

Fun, addicting, comfort music, one of their best tracks to date for sure

Zdob și Zdub - Trenulețul
76

This shit unironically goes insanely hard

Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
70

EDIT: 63 -> 70

This grew on me considerably, the concept is pretty consistent, along with the production. These aspects are pretty great. I love how personal and upfront Kendrick is, especially on tracks like Auntie Diaries, Father Time, Worldwide Steppers and of course, Mother I Sober.
My main problem with this album is that I find a lack of musical/instrumental interest in a lot of these tracks (Die Hard, Rich Spirit, Crown) and some of these, although they carry great ideas and ... read more

Black Thought & Danger Mouse - No Gold Teeth
90

Hyped for this, Danger Mouse production is great as always, and Black Thought still sounds like he's in top form.

black midi - Welcome to Hell
90

CRAZY BOYS TBE WELCOME TO HELL BOZOS

Kendrick Lamar - The Heart Part 5
95

FUCK YEAH THIS IS AMAZING

Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future
87

A great project from one of the best artists working today. Really enjoyed the variety on this thing, with jazzy, lyrical, beautiful tracks like "Melt Session #1" and "Walkin", to more experimental cuts with unconventional flows, like "John Wayne" and "Worst Comes To Worst" and bangers like "Troubles", "Sanjuro" and "Zatoichi". The writing is pretty varied too, with pretty consistent themes, but various styles to fit the ... read more

Let's Eat Grandma - Two Ribbons
80

"Happy New Year" was very fittingly the first single I heard this year, and I was very excited for this album. Very happy with the full project too! Apart from "Sunday", the tracks are very solid, the pacing on the first half "Sunday" feels pretty awkward, but it does get good near the end. The sudden switch to indie rock (even nearing folk rock) for the last 2 songs would be very off putting, if it wasn't for the songs being this good. "Half Light" feels ... read more

Pusha T - It's Almost Dry
70

Pusha T finally comes through with another project. This album is less lyrically dense, more hook heavy, and pretty boundary pushing at times. Although, in comparison to his past effort, Daytona, it fades. In general, this album has good writing, and strong production from Pharell and Ye. But on tracks like "Call My Bluff" and "Scrape It Off" I'm genuinely shocked by how bad it gets. I don't understand how these tracks, with the amount of talent these artists have, went so ... read more

Jockstrap - Concrete Over Water
85

Very sweet song, I like the flow of this, Georgia's voice is amazing, and the writing is just really sweet. I wish the faster sections hit a bit harder, but nonetheless, a great track!!

redveil - better

Super excited for the album, this is really good stuff
