A 100!? For real??
Yes, for real. Maybe it isn't for everyone, but it is for me.
I believe that a 10 doesn't have to mean that something is necessarily groundbreaking or mindblowing. Simply put, I believe a 10 can be when something achieves what it sets out to do near flawlessly. Utada achieves this with Fantome.
Yes it's a pop album. It's not Swans, Ok Computer or any other random acclaimed album you typically see get this high a score. But Utada has crafted an intimate, beautiful, ... read more

Insightful, wobbly, slightly strange and insanely catchy!
This is my first time experiencing Mr. Nourished by Time's music, and I've come out of this quite impressed.
This album takes all the best aspects found in catchy pop music, injects some R&B, and combines it with a hazy, imperfect aesthetic that makes for quite a unique sound. The vocals here range from genuinely fantastic, to slightly sloppy. But it's never done I'm a way that feels unintentional. It always ... read more

I'm slow! Need 5+ listens minimum before I can score an album!
I listen to more music that I like, than music that I don't like. So my page is going to have a more positive vibe to it. Don't follow me if you want someone who is cynical and ruthless.
