Chair Outlet is a pseudonym used by my best friend. Even though I’m probably biased, I’m still going to try to give this the most honest review I possibly can. Last year, Chair released his debut mixtape, The Electric Chair, on which he showcased his full-of-potential rapping ability and his bright, witty character. On his follow-up and debut ... read more
This is legitimately a perfect song, I love the writing, it’s so quotable and this beat is so perfect.
Ten years after Bruno Mars’ last solo album, he finally releases The Romantic. During that wait, Mars joined Anderson. Paak and released An Evening With Silk Sonic (which is his best album), along with multiple collaborations on hit singles. Unfortunately, The Romantic is not even close to the quality of Silk Sonic or, frankly, any of his other solo work.
Bruno Mars couldn’t have played it safer with this album; the writing is hilariously bland, the production is decent at times, ... read more
Baby Keem’s first album in five years, Ca$ino, was randomly announced and finally released. While I think the Melodic Blue is decent, I struggle to find what is special about Keem as a rapper, and it can be a boring listen at times. Unfortunately, I think the same about Ca$ino.
There are some standouts. I am not a Lyricist is a really great song; I love the low-fi beat and Keem’s calm, honest delivery. It’s a beautiful song and pretty easily the best writing on the album. The ... read more
J. Cole’s The Fall-Off is an album he has been hyping up and apparently working on for ten years. Cole has said something about it being his last album, but whether it actually is is pretty unclear. Either way, this is supposed to be Cole’s magnum opus and blow everything he’s ever made out of the water, and no matter how much I wish it were like that, it’s just not the case in my opinion, not even close in fact.
Quite literally, everything on this album is a mixed ... read more
I’m pretty sure everyone fears death in some form or fashion, even if they don’t admit it. It’s hard to tell if Bowie was even scared of death or not, but to me, this album proves that he borders on fearless.
David Bowie is one of my favorite artists ever (I would put him in my top three) for many reasons, his catalog is extensive and expansive and every album brings something different to the table, Bowie isn’t afraid to experiment or be “weird”, from the ... read more
The Next Day is somewhat of a comeback album for Bowie; it’s his first album since 2003, and it had been ten years. On The Next Day, Bowie returns to many of the sounds and styles that made him famous.
The production on this album is definitely a throwback to the art rock styles of the Berlin trilogy. A great example would be the opener/title track, which would fit perfectly on an album like Low. At age 66 when this album was released, he delivers some amazing vocal performances.

Honestly one of my least favorite album covers ever, and the album is really boring
While it’s not that memorable, it’s definitely a step up from his previous album, and a good album
Mediocre, the lyrics are among his worst and the songs overall are some of his most forgettable.
Really good album that is pretty overlooked, I really like the experimentation and that Bowie seemingly isnt chasing hits like he was a decade ago.
A lot of really good songs but it’s just far too long. Some are awesome experimental rock song and others are boring and forgettable.
Much better than Never Let Me Down and it’s pretty creative (although not that much compared to his other stuff), it’s a pretty solid album.
One of his worst albums, its annoying and bland, and there’s not really any standouts
its really not that bad, sure it doesnt compare to most of his other stuff, but its not horrible
I’m so late to this show but it’s sooooooo good
My Ghosts Go Ghost is the debut album from By Storm, the duo composed of the two remaining members of Injury Reserve, who released one of my favorite albums of the decade in 2021, By The Time I Get To Phoenix. On this album, Injury Reserve showcased this super glitchy and disjointed soundscape, bordering on Sound Collage, basically, pushed the boundaries of what we consider music to be. This album keeps most of that same idea but does so in a less explosive, more melancholic tone.

Lodger is the third and final album of the Berlin trilogy. Lodger tends to be underappreciated in Bowie’s catalog; it’s one of his weirdest albums, and he experiments with a wide range of sounds and ideas. It’s not as focused in terms of soundscape as Low or “Heroes,” and that makes this album even stranger than those. It doesn’t have any ambient sections, but it is much more new wave-like than its predecessors.
Fantastic Voyage starts the album off ... read more
“Heroes” is Bowie’s twelfth album and the second of the Berlin trilogy, and it very well could be his masterpiece. This album is a force of nature, I mean, it’s prime David Bowie, Brian Eno, and Robert Fripp of King Crimson teaming up. Some of the world's best musical minds are working together at the height of their artistic ability. The experimentation on Low was already insane, but “Heroes” is like that on crack. This album has some of the most unique ... read more
