Travis Scott - UTOPIA
62
I approached this with initial skepticism, concerned it might be mediocre given my reservations about his recent work and various controversies. However, the album pleasantly surprised me, marking a step in the right direction for Travis. While some tracks stick to his familiar trap aesthetic, the standout moments occur when he ventures beyond, collaborating with different producers and showcasing versatility. The boom-bap opener sets the stage for a new era, and highlights like "MY ... read more
Coldplay - Music of the Spheres

This, unfortunately, deepens the band's struggle to infuse their soft rock with any meaningful depth or connect their healing themes to tangible human experiences. The album is filled with hollow anthems that cater to a broad audience, but it falls short of delivering a cohesive body of work. While there are moments that stand out, it feels like Coldplay is now chasing trends rather than pioneering them. The inclusion of BTS and Selena Gomez, coupled with a muddled cosmic concept, suggests a ... read more
John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Wedding Album
30
The culmination of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's experimental trilogy, this echoes its predecessors by being more noteworthy for its packaging than its content, reminiscent of "Unfinished Music, No. 1: Two Virgins." While there is some tangible content, it's regrettably limited to the duo repeatedly shouting each other's names for over 22 minutes. As the curtain falls on this unbearable trilogy, it's evident that the album doesn't quite redeem the experimental journey, leaving it as a ... read more
John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions

Listening to this left me questioning if, as they suggested, their lives were their art. Maybe. My favorite track, if I can call it that, is "2 Minutes Silence," and oddly enough, my least favorite is "Cambridge 1969." In all honesty, this album wasn't enjoyable for me; the sarcasm in saying I absolutely loved it speaks volumes. It's a perplexing experience that makes me wonder why I subject myself to such unconventional musical endeavors.
John Lennon - Walls and Bridges

This is an intriguing exploration of sound, showcasing a fun and somewhat psychedelic vibe that distinguishes it from his other works. The absence of collaboration with Yoko Ono seems to have contributed positively to this streak of goodness from Lennon. While Yoko was undoubtedly important to him, their musical collaborations were often iffy. This solo album, marked by tracks like "#9 Dream" and "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," stands out as both fun and essential. ... read more

Howdy Aiden!

To celebrate my somewhat recent milestone of 1,000 followers, I thought I’d celebrate with a Community List and a Discography Dive (More on that later).

I have chosen 55 people to answer my prompt; 55 of my closest friends on the site and people who have been loyal to my account for a while. So to you, I bestow this prompt:

You’re a radio show host and you have the ability to ask ANY artist one question about a song they wrote and they have to answer with complete honesty.
Who do you choose and what are you asking them? Remember, it can be anyone (even if they’re dead 😉).

Respond with the following info if you choose to answer:
•Song Title
•Artist Name
•You’re Question
*Explanation of your choice is optional!

Also, if you want, go to my pinned review and comment which artists you’d want me to do a discog dive of! I’ll make a Google Form for y’all to vote in whenever I release the list!

Thanks for being so great!
