I've played Running Out Of Time way too much already..
Paramore manages to keep the fresh aspect of early 2000s rock alive without making it feel outdated or bland. The LPs energy gives the idea of your average teen garage band just mindlessly rocking out. Admittedly for something that doesn't try so hard to keep up with it's modern surroundings, I find myself returning with a smile quite often. Fun can be found in simplicity as long as things are executed well whether ... read more
Lots of HORSIN' around on this LP.
horsegiirL makes a pretty sustainable project with some quirky little dance tracks. Nothing here is too outside the box but there are some enjoyable occasions in which horsegiirL gets rowdy and wild with the production. I find it easier to return to the points that don't display in your face horse lyrics (not my cup of tea). Overall pretty alright, wouldn't play this in public but for sure might be on repeat in the ear ... read more
I think it's a solid start, the entire LP lets loose and doesn't take itself too seriously. Even songs like No Homo and Big D*ck Energy shine in how comedic they are.

I'M TWIGGED OUT TONIGHT! I'll be returning to give this a 90 after a few more listens.
Tahliah Barnett aka FKA Twigs is BACK with yet another genre-defining project. Eusexua is a dystopian, dense, and in-your-face piece of work that isn't afraid to tell it how it is. There are so many bold choices not just in production but in Twig's uncanny vocal inflections making her presence loud and clear. Sometimes she's much more cryptic and soft meanwhile she easily manages to ... read more
Looks like they'll be just fine without Isaac🥲. Easily top 3 favorite band of the modern era.
That voice is a force to be reckoned with.
Danielle has a distinct voice that one could pinpoint in a crowd of people with no hesitation. The clasping and industrial atmosphere behind every 070 shake project is admirable, It's insane how much it fits her voice and basically feels so original and comforting with anything Shake does.
The futuristic aesthetic mixed with Danielle's standout vocals create some satisfying records that I feel oddly compelled by (to a quant extent). The ... read more
The charisma has stuck with Doechii from the beginning, it's clear her career path was always meant to be promising. These few tracks encapsulate a taste of what she brings to the table, it's only a matter of time before she pushes beyond everyone's expectations. This EP isn't the best overall but it has it's highlights and for sure has its fun segments here and there. it's cohesive, full of personality, and is as colorful as its cover. My only low points come from ... read more
WIlco makes you feel so at home with the comforting nature of this LP. Nothing but consistency in the track list, gentle instrumentals, and tranquil vocals that move at a relaxing pace. A well balanced album that produces positives again and again.
Ethel Cain brings valiant efforts to the creative texturing of this EP's surroundings. Leaving behind an unsettling path of despair, depression and desperation. Darkness lurking around every corner of this project, the horrific concept holds some of its highest points and a few of its low points.
The stylistic disconcerting nature of this EP is super interesting in its attempts, I appreciate the tracks that don't leave a lingering void whether it's in the intro of a record or ... read more
Janis Joplin has the HUNGER I love in an artist. Her grit is unmatched with so much passion behind the vocals and soaring energy in each performance.
I can name a thousand reasons why I never thought I'd be here giving this an 80 but here we are.
I have no regrets..
Count on Paul Simon to create a cinematic southern-folk atmosphere. The dazzling usage of harmonica and overall blend between instruments make the album all the more gravitating. Every instrumental feeling positive and grand, every vocal inflection refuses to miss a step. Paul doesn't need to code his feelings in complex writing, every thought and emotion is put out in its raw/natural state. Graceland needs no explanation as it lives up to it's name by being graceful in every aspect ... read more
Bad Bunny isn't so bad this time around.
I've always been a believer that Bad Bunny could use some touch ups on his artistry. The lack of self awareness is a huge reason behind me not taking him seriously. The constant regurgitation of his "love stories" get tiring after a while, however I'm not here to drop negatives all day.
Benito seems to have progressed within his production territory, taking acknowledgement of classic salsa inspirations, getting wild with ... read more
