The ending literally made me laugh In disbelief. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me before.

Reviewing every Tyler, The Creator’s album (4/9)

Tyler, The Creator’s 4th album Cherry Bomb moves him creatively into a completely different direction. This album is way more abrasive and experimental than anything else Tyler has ever made.

DEATHCAMP has one of the most insane and awesome beats Tyler has ever made. I love all the distorted guitars, heavy crunchy drums and muddy synths. One of Tyler’s best openers ever.

I love how wild and uncompromising this album is. ... read more

Reviewing every Tyler, The Creator’s album (3/9)

With Tyler’s first album being mediocre and his second being horrible, it’s hard to know what to expect with his 3rd release, Wolf. This album is SO much better than anything he’s released. The jump he made in quality between Goblin to this is nearly unbelievable. Literally everything about Wolf is just better than anything else he’s made up to this point.

The concept on this album is why more interesting and ... read more

Reviewing every Tyler, The Creator album (2/9)

Tyler’s second album Goblin is weirdly more put together than his debut, but the overall ideas it explores are much, much worse.

That said, the highlights on this album are absolutely amazing. She is one of Tyler’s best songs ever, featuring one of Frank Ocean’s best features. It is everything Tyler has tried to do, executed so well that it is almost mind blowing it is on this album. Yonkers also feels like the better version of ... read more

Reviewing every Tyler, The Creator album (1/9)
Tyler, The Creator’s debut album Bastard is dark, angry, and seemingly often forgotten about.

The opening track, also the title track, is basically just Tyler laying out all of his problems, and it’s a quite successful intro to Tyler’s early character. The constant pianos and eerie synths make the atmosphere feel very dark. Although it’s not that impressive of a song, it’s better put together than most of the other ... read more

I don’t even see the point in Justin Bieber releasing music. I didn’t even know this album came out when it did. Who cares about this? Once again Bieber accomplished absolutely nothing with a release, there’s really nothing to be said about this because it does nothing. I doubt any of these songs will be hits cause they aren’t very catchy at all. Now this isn’t like incredibly bad or anything but it’s so unnecessary and unless that it just makes me question ... read more

Neutral Mill Hotel’s sophomore release, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is easily one of the most praised and beloved albums ever made. Which honestly makes sense, it’s full of weird folk rock, noise and indie soundscapes.

The best part about this album in my opinion is the production. I love the noise elements on songs like King of Carrot Flowers Pts. 2 & 3. Or the absolutely beautiful, magical guitar strumming/horns on the title track.

The title track is pretty easily the ... read more

Honestly such a magical and nostalgic experience. It feels more dream-pop like than anything else Frank’s made.

I completely forgot how hard some of these songs go. Can’t Feel My Face’s bassline alone makes it peak, it’s also one my favorite Weeknd songs. The highs are some of the best pop songs of the 2010s while the lows are painfully mediocre (looking at you dark times)

4:44 is by far the most personal Jay-Z has ever gotten. He talks about things so personal it feels wrong to hear them. And I think that’s really cool, and makes this album unique.

The beats on here are handled by the legendary No I.D. and there isn’t a single lackluster beat on here. The Story of O.J. has literally one of the best beats ever made. Along with the amazing choir sounding vocals on Family Feud, and 4:44.

Jay-Z’s lyrics are ridiculously personal, on songs like ... read more

Spiderland by Slint is one of the most praised, iconic, and influential experimental rock albums ever. Without this album, we wouldn’t have many of the modern-day rock masterpieces like Ants From Up There.

The production on here is awesome, full of moody, ominous, and heavy instrumentation. It feels very raw and even eerie at times.

For the most part, I like the vocal performances. Brian McMahan isn’t my favorite vocalist ever, but he has a lot of expressive vocal performances on ... read more

So yeah, this Jackboys album is not it. It sounds like they made this in a week with scrapped beats. Most of the beats on here sound like they were made in 5 minutes with no creativity. The rapping on here is painfully average for most of the time with some utterly garbage verses. It’s just lacking everything that made Travis Scott an interesting artist. The first song is great tho.

Edit: Pharrell’s vocals (and just the album) have grown on me since I made this. 88 -> 95

Let God Sort Em Out is the comeback album for the brotherly hip hop duo Clipse, and this is their first album in 16 years.

The production is handled by Pharrell, who is basically the 3rd member of Clipse. The past few years Pharrell’s production and overall music has been a little hit or miss. But on this album he talks his production to the next level. This album is full of dirty synths, ... read more

In honor of Clipse making a comeback album (dropping tonight), I’m reviewing their best album.

Hell Hath No Fury is a bar fest in an extremely creative way. Surprisingly, it’s not as grimy as you would’ve thought, and it’s kinda more funny than grimy.

The beats on here are kinda… goofy? They are very detailed and well made (good job, Pharrell). The beats feel so animated, like they’re from a cartoon. Pharrell’s creativeness is on full showcase on ... read more

These songs really sound like throwaways. The mixing is poor the production is unfinished and practically every verse is lackluster. (Eminem’s is genuinely horrible).

I love all of the awesome grooves and catchy melodies all over here. It feels older than it is, and younger at the same time. Amazing record.

The most iconic album from my favorite artist. I could do a deep dive into the history of this album but that would take far too long. To put it simply, on Dylan’s last album (Bringing It All Back Home) he transitioned into electric, although only half the album was electric it was extremely controversial. At this time many people were wondering what the definition of folk even was. I mean Johnny Cash already had people confused if he was Country, Rock or Folk. Like what makes a folk song ... read more

People be acting like perfect songs don’t exist

Now this is one for the all-time books.

There aren’t many hip-hop albums or just albums in general that even compare to the density and lushness of the instrumentation on Magic, Alive. I seriously cannot stress enough how incredible the live jazz instrumentals are, they are so well played and fit the songs perfectly. There’s something about jazz drumming that just always gets me, the fills, the rapid fast playing and the rhythms. Then add rapping on top, sheesh, jazz drumming + ... read more

On Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? McKinley Dixon delivers a short, sweet and immaculately produced album.

The production on here is seriously amazing, rapping on live instrumentation is just a genius way to rap, and makes for some of the coolest and most alive feeling songs of the decade.

Dixon’s rapping is great, he is a great writer. And while he’s not like one of the greatest rappers ever, he fits these beats perfectly.

Overall BPJ is one of the best produced and most beautiful ... read more
