"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" is an album I've wanted to hear for so long now, I can't even say. If it weren't for its 121-minute runtime, this would've been checked off a long time ago. Well, I heard it, finally, and what a surprise, it's great. The Smashing Pumpkins provide an album that is gigantic in scope and epic in every sense of the word. Every single subgenre of rock is on this album at some point, yet the record as a whole is incredibly cohesive. At worst, it's a ... read more
Heard this ahead of "Certified Lover Boy" and it's just as boring as everyone says. The reason for this album's boring qualities, primarily, is not because of mediocre songs (despite their prevalence), but because of the album's length. On what planet did this need to be 90 minutes. This had no business being a double album, let alone one where over half the tracks are filler. I know all this has been said before, but Drake draws this record out to a point where it's strenuous, where ... read more
I've spent quite a while reflecting on what rating to give this album because, truth be told, this is unlike I've ever heard before. The extreme minimalism of the instrumentals, the fragility of Daniel Johnson's vocals, the childlike innocence and morbid undertones to the lyrics. Going into "Hi, How Are You", I didn't have the first idea about Johnson's life, but now that I've read a bit about it, I feel its a paramount element in understanding the record as a whole. Johnson's life is ... read more
Logic is back! Who knew it; I didn't. That's why I'm here a couple days late. Anyways, I heard the album and, just like his last record, Logic has come through with yet another collection of enjoyable and sonically solid tracks, except this time it's under the 'Doctor Destruction' moniker. Many of the sounds Doc D explores on this record are super reminiscent of the late great MF DOOM and the classic era of hip hop, which I honestly quite liked. It's refreshing hearing a new stylistic angle ... read more
Found another solid classic rap album. Yet another album that seems to encapsulate all the qualities I love about classic rap: catchy flows, clever wordplay and super fun sonic auras. "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde" is filled with these from front to back, making for an incredibly fun and easy listen. Yes, there are one too many interludes on this project, but apart from that, the tracks are just infectious. The flows are silky smooth, seamlessly moving across the funky beat like ... read more

Hello friend, I hope you're having a great day! If you have any interest in participating in a list I'm making, here's the prompt:
Aliens have come down from a previously unknown planet, and touch down right in front of your house. You come outside, and they speak English somehow, but they ask you for one thing- to give them a human album. You have an MP3 player, but it only can hold one album of any length. You can give the aliens any album for any reason, but please explain why you chose the album you chose.
Thank you for answering (if you do), and have a great day!

My friend says that I've ruined music because I review it analytically (same guy said he'd give LYSF a 3).
I use my library as a list of albums that I want to listen to in the future. I always re-rate stuff (I have mass re-rating days).
My reviews are worse than Corey Feldman's "Angelic 2 The Core" (just like my Letterboxd).
