Yep. A serious contender for my Album of The Year is a comedy album.
After quickly gaining fame from viral YouTube videos of his musical comedy and then having a successful career as a standup comedian, integrating his music and visual components into his set, Bo Burnham retired from stand up comedy in 2016 after his internal struggle with art, comedy, performance, capitalism, depression, and existentialism lead to him having panic attacks on stage. After spending time to focus on his mental ... read more

Billie Eilish’s explosion onto the music scene is unique in a way that is comparable to basically no one, being immediately loved by mainstream listeners, indieheads, alt-kids, and the music industry/award shows at large. She essentially received the level of fame one would expect of a Justin Bieber type while still having some sort of “cred” from music nerds (at least the ones that don’t hate women with dyed hair). So after sweeping the Grammy’s and the love of ... read more

I get why people like this album, it’s his personal mental health album. But there is no god damn reason why a Kanye album should have production that is completely lacking in identity, not unique at all to him, colorless, and frankly ugly at times. I love Kanye a lot more for his production than his skills on the mic, so even if he was rapping well here I wouldn’t have enjoyed this much. But he’s also delivering awkward and annoying verses, topped off with ... read more

Okay, so for those who have been following along, you know how I said “Yeezus” started off strong and then started to become more confused in its execution? To quote myself, “The beats start getting progressively worse, messier, and frankly annoying. The song structures fall apart. There are plenty of moments that I think are straight up whack.” Okay, imagine that for TLOP, except the best tracks aren’t as good as the best on “Yeezus” ... read more

This should be my favorite Kanye album. I’m a slut for industrial hip-hop especially if there’s a political bent to some of the music, so this should be right up my alley. But if you have been keeping up with my Kanye retrospects up to this point, you know that after “MBDTF” I personally believe that he stopped making great albums. I guess I should start off by saying that I think the first four tracks are actually pretty solid and promising, and Black ... read more

After years of indie music pushing out more and more clones that seem less inspired than the last, it seems like indie folk music is finally back on track with a lot of exciting artists that make music that genuinely connects with people, and one of the artists at the forefront of that is Clairo. And for good reason - Clairo is a beautiful singer with emotionally potent writing that’s honest and heartfelt. But even acknowledging that and seeing how much of a genuine talent she is, I just ... read more

No prob. I respect that even on albums that are easy to dunk on, you make sure to explain why you dislike a project so strongly. Your review of Jordi comes to mind. Keep up the great work!

Just the black. I bought it off the label before they announce the VMP pressing. I had Vmp for a few years but I am taking a little break from the monthly subscription because I had most of the things I’d want, so the swaps weren’t doing it for me. Their pressings definitely seem to have good value though!

Let’s not beat around the bush, 2020 was a pretty shitty year for everyone. However, one of the few highlights was the incredible amount of great music being released throughout. Usually when I’m ...

The end of the year is personality a gratifying time for me, not only because I can reflect and honor the great moments, but I can take the bad, denounce it for how shitty it is, and cleanse it from ...
