This album's like a movie... oh wait-

Goodbye Childish Gambino, Welcome whoever comes after this. You've got big shoes to fill.

Good Old Denzel comes through with, for me, his weakest project, that still manages to be super entertaining and have a couple of superbangers.

One pity point for the person who at least attempted to make usable instrumentals.

My headphones need an exorcism after this.

I like the idea. I like his continued approach of "make people angry with one outrageous line but I don't actually mean it because I clear it up on the next line". I like having the outrageous moments explained with Slim Shady - and how they're basically gone once he kills him. But Slim doesn't feel like Slim most of the time. He feels like Marshall scrolling r/edgelords.
Some of the beats are fine, some of them aren't. Some of the features are great (JID), some of ... read more

No rating, produced by Dr. Luke.

Take all the basic things about summer pop, toss in a terrible vocalist and the most average songwriting known to man, mix it up in a blender, drink it, throw up and put it in a glass. that's this album.
ew.

91 > 80
Just relistened to this for the first time since about 2021.
Is a good yes
But not as good as I remember it.
I can see exactly why this blew up so much and why I loved it. It was a breath of fresh air in Pop music during 2019 which we desperately needed. It is also full of insanely overturned and almost subwoofer-destroying bass. People love bass! I used to love bass too.
This album has its ups and downs, total bangers and 'eh' ballads. But it blends together into a really ... read more

OH
HELLO MR DONALD
I LOVE HOW YOU JUST COME OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A MOVIE TRAILER AND A TOTAL FUCKIN BANGER

Magical.

my neck hurts from headbanging to insanely brutal metalcore instrumentals with a depressing story of loss.

It's the new wave of the future!
I loved this album three years ago and I still love it. Amazingly written, produced and put together into 33 minutes of hyperpop/emo bliss. I found out about this album from a video where the person described it as MCR with 100 gecs. It's not quite that, but it's not far from it.
My 3rd favourite album of all time <3

the more I listen to the singles, the more I believe this album might end up being a 100.

my head hurts

this isn't an album. this is the first version of an album you submit to a label and then let it cook for another year and a half, rewriting and properly producing every song. the fact this even made it past any approval is insane to me.

terrible writing. bland instrumentation. basic, meaningless messaging. unfunny interludes. attempts at meaningful songs with zero punch or reason to them. there is one song that is 'okay.' on an album of pure, unfiltered, utter ... read more

Oi bruv deez is a real mix of da bri'ish tea wit da american lean innit
James Blake and Lil Yachty basically made Yachty's previous album 'let's start here' but in electronic form, with beautiful and fun instrumentals that keep you on your toes - you never know what's gonna hit you when listening to this.
The big very epic. Good job JB n LY.

Camila tries to be Charli XCX but ends up sounding like the worst timeline of 100 gecs and the most basic pop imaginable. Boring from front to back, nonsensical song placements, useless instrumentals and interludes, one includes a spoken word passage from fuckin BLP kosher, whoever that is, about his dog dying and him crying to camila's music (how?)
And then the elephant in the room. Or should we say the PDF in the room?
Drake shows he is trying to just ignore the fact he got absolutely ... read more

Imagine Dragons? Imagine getting a good Imagine Dragons album. I mean it. Imagine it. Because this isn't it.
I appreciate them trying to do something different, but there's a big, glaring problem... It's imagine dragons. The most basic, I'm 14 and this is deep band that currently exists. Dan is trying to be edgy at 36 years old but sounds 12.
Some of the production is 'fine' I guess. They've made worse songs. They also made Take Me to the Beach which is on ... read more

New songs only: 95
Full Deluxe Album: 93 (Original is 92)
Never thought I'd see Northwest zombie girl on streaming, never thought I would be genuinely frightened by CCTV and never thought I'd be jamming to a song called Stupid but here we are
April the goat fr fr on god no cap

It's exactly what I expected from Ski, for better or worse.

F is for Features who aren't on this album
U is for U and Me
N is for fuckiNg baNger
Charli XCX Fuckin BALLIN'!

Hm.
I've heard worse
