Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
31

Wankery at it's finest

Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me
81

This album presents us with the ramblings of a grieving man, and while it's a very somber and interesting look at how a person mourns in their own way, musically there's not a whole lot to get a hold of here. Perhaps that suits the subject of the record, but for myself I would have liked to see the emotions expressed through words come through in the instrumentation and little less subtle.

JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
95

Finally a coherent peggy album, and it's glorious!!

Phish - Junta
77

Bit too much flatulence across the middle of the record, but the cheeks are solid

Johnny Blue Skies - Passage du Desir
78

The song writing is good, but there are some weird vocal effects going on on several tracks here that are just extremely antithetical to the pure sound of the rest of the album

Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
65

It's no exaggeration to say JID saved this album. Up until Fuel around the midpoint of the record, this was looking like another extremely disappointing chapter in Eminem's fading career. However, JID's performance was so far above everything that came before, and set the pace for a backend packed with highlights and one or two Shady all timers.

Clairo - Charm
60

Really really underwhelming. The Clairo formula is growing tired, time for her to evolve or see her Charm fade

Blondie - Parallel Lines
85

Doesn't quite sustain the highs, but still an extremely fun listen start to finish

Taylor Swift - 1989
83

Apart from the obvious low points around the middle of the record, this is a very solid album from Taylor and a big step towards making her the superstar that she is today

Lorde - Tennis Court
65

Tennis Court is a classic, but Swingin Party just isn't very good and you can see why it was left off the record

76

There are some real highlights on here, but so much of it is clearly the work of an amateur yet unsure of his sound and where he wants to take his music

Lupe Fiasco - Samurai
82

First four tracks are smooth boom bap perfection, but after that we are treated to awkward flow after awkward flow in an altogether less smooth experience. There's still value to be had in the remaining tracks, but it's a real let down compared to where the album looked like it was heading

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Infest the Rats' Nest
64

Started strong but really tailed off towards the end

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
75

Musically solid and full of intrigue, but there's very little to engage with here on more than a surface level.

RM - Right Place, Wrong Person
84

fun album, though it doesn't all work

Rapsody - Please Don't Cry
83

Massively bloated and struggles to maintain it's quality on the back end, but there's still a lot to offer here

The Lovely Eggs - Eggsistentialism
87

It's very amateurish, but it's a lot of fun

Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
93

Grows from strength to strength

DāM-FunK - Toeachizown
60

Makes for good background noise barring a few highlights
