easily the best thing I've heard from Rodrigo yet. if the album can keep this energy, then it could be hands-down her best work.

I should've known a Radiohead member would deliver something solid, but this somehow was much better than I expected. Even if I don't return to it often, I have to say it was a really fun listening experience.

+1 yawn for every time he says "bitch" over a shitfart type beat

Like a cool breeze on a cloudless Summer day, this album may not be especially noteworthy... But it feels delightful in the moment.

maybe too much sugar on this one im afraid

she was right about the dancefloor being dead if this is what they're playing

geordie really fucked my guy up :(

elena what??

frosti fazbear

dogs been real quiet since this dropped

A deceptively complex album full of dense and moody bangers. Excellent production all around, though there are a few too many fade-out endings for my personal taste. Having never heard of James Blake before this album, I had no idea what to expect. On a first listen, I found it a bit too sleepy. But on repeat listens, it definitely wakes up.

Yeah, it's pretty good, just not 100% for me though. Lyrically it's quite empty and doesn't really have much to say, but sonically the production is very nice. It's certainly not reinventing the wheel or bringing anything new to the hyperpop/dance-pop scene, but it's very well executed regardless. Just goes to show that you don't always need to be revolutionary, sometimes it's satisfying enough to just be really good. I had fun with this project and might even ... read more

The Mountain is, fittingly, a sort of rebirth for Gorillaz after a string of middling releases that left fans and critics mostly satiated but ultimately itching for something deeper.

The passion behind Demon Days and Plastic Beach has rarely been felt in the band's discography since their respective releases. I personally have seen them as a band past their prime for many years, even throughout the Song Machine era, which was a highlight in it's own right for the band. However, on ... read more

Plastic Beach remains one of Gorillaz's finest achievements. It's a classic for a reason. From the environmental themes that only get more and more topical each day, to the digital psychedelic synth-pop that has become so prevalent in the 2020s. It was ahead of it's time in many ways. Though I think new listeners discovering Gorillaz for the first time might be surprised by how much of their trademark weirdness still peaks through on such a breezy and accessible album.

The variety of sounds, the hunger behind the lyricism and performances, as well as the kooky experimentation and playful genre-blending that Gorillaz managed to balance so perfectly on Demon Days made this into a decade-defining album for the 2000s. And yes, it stands the test of time beautifully.

fucking boring

Never been the biggest AJR fan. Had an AJR phase when Sober Up was getting radio play, but ultimately it was a short summer fling. Made the transition to full-on AJR hater in the following years, before realizing that such a level of negativity is just exhausting and unnecessary. Especially when it's clear that, while this band has the potential to do so much more than the radio fodder they seem content with churning out, they do really care about their fans and creating unique music, for ... read more

I wanted to rate this higher, because when it's playing I mostly really enjoy it. Yet despite multiple listens, I fail to recall the majority of this album in my mind. It just doesn't stick with me. Really nice production, but simply not that memorable.

I'm pleasantly surprised by Deadbeat, given that I was really not feeling the singles very much. However, they mostly work a bit better within context of the album. I do think this is the weakest crop of tracks we've gotten from Kevin thus far, which does sting considering it's been a five year wait since The Slow Rush. But it's also not a bad project by any means. Many of the tracks are quite pleasing to listen to while they're playing, yet even after repeat listens ... read more

Tron: Legacy's soundtrack by Daft Punk has been in my Top 10 film scores of all time since the film released when I was only 9 years old. The Tron films are a particular fascination of mine, and the scores are an integral part of what makes them special to me. NIN's Tron: Ares score takes elements from both the original Tron score, as well as Daft Punk's iconic work on it's sequel, then combines them with the heaviness and industrial qualities that NIN are known for.

While ... read more
