Their vocals mesh scarily well with each other. Bruno please get out of Vegas and drop the album already, it's been too long since your last release.

TLDR: Great album, enjoyed it a ton and I highly recommend it.

Tame Impala is an artist I heard of when I first listened to Travis Scott’s Astroworld. He produced the track SKELETONS, and ... read more

VERY LATE Classic Rock Sunday #3: Listened to this album with my sibling. Solid album, I enjoyed Freddie’s vocal performances in every track and the rest of the band were also pretty great here. Some complaints I have are that the middle of the album is very hit or miss, and some songs dragged on for too long like Sweet Lady. Overall, me and my sibling had a lot fun listening to this.

This album rocks. Armenian-American band System of a Down tackle topics like police brutality, the prison-industrial complex, drug abuse, immigration, and much more on this 2001 project. The intense sound of the album combined with Serj's angry vocals emphasize the messages they're trying to tell in this project, and made it extremely catchy too. I can clearly see why this is considered a classic for metal. Funnily enough, despite being over 23 years old, this album doesn't feel ... read more

Actual Review: I highly enjoyed this album, and it has grown on me even more after some more listens. I love how it's just Kendrick having fun, not much of a centralized concept here except celebration of the West Coast. He also seemed motivated to make music again as implied in gloria. Overall, I enjoyed nearly every song here except gnx, I don't like the beat on the song. It's not bad, just mediocre. I also loved the great mix of "radio hits" and thought provoking ... read more

One of the best albums I've heard. Nas' rhyme schemes are complex yet flow so well with the beats. Not to mention, the production of every track is amazing. Pretty much every second of this album is nearly perfect.

Okay now this is good

Favorite tracks: Long Time, R.I.P, Love Hurts, Shoota, Poke it Out, Pull Up, No Time, Middle of the Summer, Choppa Won't Miss

A great release by The Weeknd. I loved the 80s inspired sounds of the album, and this had a lot of bangers. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this project and its' probably The Weeknd's best.

Favorite tracks: Too Late, Hardest Love, Escape From LA, Heartless, Blinding Lights, In Your Eyes, Save Your Tears, After Hours, Until I Bleed Out

A pretty great album by TDE's ScHoolboy Q. The production was great, his voice and flow was great, and it's a pretty solid album overall with pretty much no misses.

Favorite tracks: Pop, THank god 4 me, Blueslides, Yeern 101, oHio, First, Nunu, Lost Times, Pig Feet

Pretty cool album. It really captured that radio station vibe with the interludes and such. The production was great, that synth-pop sound was utilized well. Abel’s voice was heavenly as always. Don’t think I really hate a track here tbh. One thing I really appreciate is the Japanese City Pop sample on Out of Time. The sample itself was already one of my favorite City Pop songs, but the Weeknd sampling it on this project was such a good choice because it makes for a wonderful track. ... read more

The first half was so generic and boring it nearly put me to sleep. The second half luckily was way better, but it doesn't save the mediocrity that was this album. The production was not horrible, but it was mostly generic trap beats that it didn't impress me at all. Carti's voice was obnoxious in the first half of this album, but thankfully improved in the second half. His flow was... one of the flows of all time, that's for sure. Overall, disappointing album.

She's here, she's queer, and she made a pretty damn good album here.

Favorite tracks: Femininomenon, Red Wine Supernova, After Midnight, Coffee, Casual, Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl,, HOT TO GO!, Pink Pony Club, Naked In Manhattan, Guilty Pleasure.

Pretty good. I loved the industrial inspired sound he went for the album. That rawness and very distorted sound surprisingly worked well for this album. I also like how distant sonically this one is compared to his previous and proceeding releases, really kept his discography fresh. I'm glad he got Rick Rubin to help him with this, because the end product was great.

Favorite tracks: On Sight, Black Skinhead, I Am a God, New Slaves, I'm In It, Blood on the Leaves, Guilt Trip, Bound 2.

A good album, but the back half of this project except for the last two songs are so mid and generic.

Favorite songs: Starboy, Party Monster, Reminder, Rockin', Secrets, Sidewalks, Six Feet Under, Love to Lay, Die for You, I Feel It Coming.

The debut album of the critically acclaimed rapper Kendrick Lamar. Did it stand the test of time? Mostly yeah. This is a well produced and well written for his first album. A few misses but overall, had a great time listening to this.

Favorite songs: Fuck Your Ethnicity, Hol’ Up, ADHD, Ronald Reagan Era, Rigamortus, Hiiipower

For a mixtape preceding his debut studio album, this is a pretty well put project. Some parts of it feel somewhat dated, but it doesn't take away much from my enjoyment surprisingly. There are a few misses on this one though like Zombies, Sloppy Toppy, BACC. Overall, a few misses but it's still a pretty fun project.

Favorite songs: Mamacita, Drugs You Should Try It, Skyfall, Basement Freestyle.

I forgot to review this when the beef was on but this was probably the best song from the beef lol.

A brilliant album by Geordie Greep. Enjoyed this album WAY MORE than I expected. The instrumentals are probably the best part of the album, with math rock, prog, and some Latin rock influence. Not to mention Geordie's vocals, which were great for what this album's worth. This is probably my favorite project from this year.

Favorite tracks: All.

A great improvement from his first mixtape Live. Love. A$AP. His flow is better, the features are stacked, and there's a clear step up with the production since this is his debut album.

Favorite songs: Love Live A$AP, Goldie, PMW, F**kin' Problems, 1Train, Fashion Killa.
