Gorillaz - Cracker Island
60

Extremely disappointed. Could’ve been way more impactful. The sound is polished and nice but but the songs themselves are lacking quite a bit. I have returned to it even less than I thought I would.

Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy
75

A few powerful moments, feels a little unfulfilling and needed more. Some cool ideas but this one kind of came and went.

UPDATE: After a few re listens it’s grown quite a bit and I feel like I’m getting what they were going for a lot better now.

Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
60

A&W is a great song. There’s a small handful of good songs a lot of slightly drab balladry, it’s bloated and the runtime makes it a hard sell. It’s possible I’m being a bit harsh but NFR! is a leagues better example from her.

6LACK - Since I Have A Lover
52

This one’s disappointingly kinda a snoozer for me. Songs are quality but there’s not much to latch onto long-term. A few fairly enjoyable moments and nothing that’s offensively bad. Just… eh.

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
100

I have genuinely no idea what she is saying.

“Heaven Or Las Vegas” is an absolute dream pop essential. From the moment it starts I feel like my ears are being baptized. Shoegaze + a proper helping of gorgeous synth pop = this album.

This album provides such a unique and euphoric feeling, it’s otherworldly. The idea of it being otherworldly is only supported by the lyrics that seem to just flow out of the song and into your ears. Elizabeth Fraser, the lead vocalist, is ... read more

Black Country, New Road - Live at Bush Hall
73

“Live at Bush Hall” is a beautiful and emotionally potent live experience.

I generally really like how the band is sounding, though I think Issac Wood vocally, was a pretty big pillar for the band’s overall sound and appeal. I hope this one grows on my a little bit, I feel like I’m missing something here.

This newest release from BCNR, regardless of lost members is still an extremely well-written piece of music. It’s recorded very well, and sounds like all the ... read more

Kid Rock - Bad Reputation

Bro it really does say “snowflake advisory” no way

The Radio Dept. - Lesser Matters
78

This thing has honestly aged incredibly

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
94

My expectations for this album were near impossible, and I still wasn’t disappointed.

I’ve been anticipating this album ever since the rumors for it happening a few years ago at this point. First of all, the beats on this thing are insane, and I think Peggy’s production sound has found a bit of a sweet spot between experimental, and accessible. Sure the album name has become a tad bit corny in my opinion, but “SCARING THE HOES” was the most fun I’ve had on ... read more

Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)
72

Bro what kinda album name is that?💀

This year has been incredibly solid so far. Yves Tumor tries their hand at a slightly more poppy sound on this release.

That being said, this is far from a pure pop album. Yves Tumor still sticks mostly to their roots here. Which is high energy, spacey blown-out yet smooth production and guitar riffs. The pop elements come from the slightly more straightforward song structure and less experimental production than previous works.

While I’m not as ... read more

J Dilla - Donuts
100

CLASSIC ALBUM REVIEW

Donuts is one of if not the greatest instrumental hip-hop records of all time.

James Dewitt Yancey (or J Dilla) released this album on his birthday and three days before he died. He made “Donuts” in a hospital bed with nothing but a sampler and a small record player. This one holds a special place in my heart and has only grown on me throughout the years. Like for many, it was the beginning of my love and appreciation for music production as a whole.

His ... read more

Talking Heads - Remain in Light
97

I can’t even really explain it but this is the most British album that isn’t even British that I’ve ever heard.

That’s not the only strange description I’ve got of this album. LAME ANALOGY WARNING -> This album is like a kit kat, it sounds very light and airy but it’s also got substance on top. Fun little fact about them, they went on to release an album with most the horrendously aged name, “No Talking, Just Head” (LMAOOOOO nice) under the ... read more

Soul Glo - Diaspora Problems
89

This one is insane, each song hits just as hard as the last. The entire sound is so raw and the vocals are nasty. I found myself 100% entertained through the whole runtime, it doesn’t waste time or beat around the bush. There’s not a single flat or dull moment across this whole thing. From the moment it starts it feels like being trampled, and there’s an extremely creative blend of genre going on here. It’s visceral.

Daft Punk - Discovery
99

CLASSIC ALBUM REVIEW

I’m about to meatride

This is will most likely be my first full on GLOWING review. So much has been said about this album already so I’ll try to keep it somewhat short while also emphasizing my love for it. Daft Punk’s “Discovery” is nothing short of absolutely fantastic. It’s a bright and euphoric daydream among what feels like cold empty space. The first time I heard it it felt like pure bliss and nostalgia from start to finish. This ... read more

MF DOOM - MM..FOOD
92

I first heard this album a few years back and has grown to be one of my personal favorites. Such a great experience. Many might argue that the skits are annoying, though I think they are almost essential to this album’s experience at this point, I partly agree with that and they can be rather testing at times. From the mind-boggling flows, the incredible rhyme schemes, and the masterful production. It’s a must-listen for music fans and has aged beautifully.

Gabbie Hanna - Trauma Queen
3

PLEASE look into her story, this album just makes it worse

AJR - OK ORCHESTRA

Music for people who think they love music but actually hate it

Nick Hakim - Green Twins
70

Really special sound to this album, it sounds like a fever dream. Whether or not that's a good thing is up to the listener. It kind of caught me off guard at first and wasn't really feeling it but I think I started to appreciate the novelty of this project. Low-fi instrumentation and trippy mixing. I believe it could have benefited a bit from some structure but that's just my taste. I most definitely recommend this to anyone who gets high lmao. It has a nostalgic feel to it like you are laying ... read more
