Julia Holter - Aviary
52

There are undoubtedly a collection of pretty sounds amongst the disfunction, but it doesn't amount to anything tangible

Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
87

While this is still a very solid record, it fails to live up to the extreme hype I had built up for it. Scrapyard remains Ben's masterpiece, though I won't go so far as to call this a step back. It merely fails to reach that same feeling of transcendence that last year's mixtape achieved

YUNGBLUD - Idols
53

Extremely disappointing after the promise of the lead-in singles

HAIM - I quit
77

It's a very unadventurous record, but it's also very listenable.

betcover!! - 勇気 [Yuki]
31

It's just not my thing

Addison Rae - Addison
56

I.. don't understand what's happening here. Sure the beats are solid, but the songwriting and vocal mix are very weak pretty much from start to finish. There's a vision here for sure but the execution is certainly not worthy of the glazing in these reviews..

Lifeguard - Ripped and Torn
12

So awful to listen to I couldn't finish it as short as it is, and that's a true rarity for me.

MARINA - PRINCESS OF POWER
68

It's goofy as hell and that makes it hard to take seriously, but in truth it's a very listenable record

Obongjayar - Paradise Now
71

some high highs and some low lows, this is truly a mixed bag and leaves me wondering if Obongjayar will ever be able to put together a record worthy of his talent

yeule - Evangelic Girl is a Gun
76

The more upbeat tracks work really well but the quieter and dronier moments falter

Honningbarna - Soft Spot
81

Man this is fiery, but unfortunately the vocals are very weak

81

There is a great album at the heart of this, but the production and weird washed out vocals let it down on several occasions

Key Glock - Glockaveli
70

While I've always been a big fan of the Key Glock sound, his longer projects have thus far failed to dive in deeper than surface level beats and flows. There an undoubted talent here, he just needs to figure out how to take it to the next level.

Lamp - 恋人へ [For Lovers]
56

Instrumentally very pretty but fairly benign and occasionally irksome song writing leave me underwhelmed

Foals - Total Life Forever
60

The sound is there but the vocals are so much weaker than the best of Foals stuff

Marina Satti - POP TOO
73

Doesn't live up to the killer EP from last year, but there's still some bops to be found on here

Viagra Boys - viagr aboys
90

A few tracks at the tail end don't quite live up to the quality of the rest of the record, but still a very strong offering

Novo Amor - Bathing Beach
100

Carry You is a straight Holocene rip but honestly I'm not mad about it

Messa - The Spin
65

Very underwhelming

YHWH Nailgun - 45 Pounds
81

Very unique sound and I think I like it a lot. Definitely interested to see where they take this going forward.
