Anderson .Paak comes through with a side quest K-pop soundtrack album that I just didn’t expect from him. Although this is something super random, I still expected this soundtrack to be decently enjoyable because I have high expectations from Anderson but for the most part, this was a pretty inconsistent soundtrack in my opinion. There are a couple of genuinely incredible songs on here that have great writing and super memorable production and hooks but then there are also a lot of really ... read more

Vince staples newest album is a political album discussing the state of America, black people, and Trump. Overall, the messaging of this album is very powerful and needed in today’s day and age. A lot of people would benefit from listening to this album and listening to the words that are actually being said here. I think as a political album, this album definitely gets that point across and I didn’t think it was done in a cringe way like some other rappers have done in the past. I ... read more

This was my first time listening to Jefferson Airplane and I had no idea what to expect but for the most part I enjoyed this album. I thought a lot of the instrumentation was really unique for its time and there was a cool mix of psychedelic sounds with standard rock and pop sounds inspired by the Beatles. I really enjoyed a lot of songs on here and there were a couple songs I thought were perfect. The majority of the tracks were really good on here but there were a couple songs I thought were ... read more

This was my first time listening to meat loaf and I have to say that this album was pretty freaking amazing in my opinion! I loved this album and thought the writing was super fun, the singing was good, and the instrumentation and progression of a lot of these songs was really cool to hear! I loved how developed these tracks were and I loved all the changing aspects to the writing and instrumentation. My only issue with this album was a couple of tracks were just slightly too slow for me ... read more

Well then, the first truly mediocre album in the bands eventual downfall that I was not looking forward to. This album is definitely my least favorite from all of the bands albums up to this point. There were basically no songs I thought were good and all of the songs on here fell between bad and ok for me. There were so many weird vocals, weird writing, basic instrumentation, and some boring moments all throughout. My biggest issue with this album is that this sounds nothing like the bands ... read more

I can see why people don’t like this one as much as their other albums before this but I honestly still thought that this was a good album nonetheless. I thought it was consistently pretty enjoyable and there were a couple songs that I loved. I think the majority of songs on here had good instrumentation and writing but it was less creative and unique than a lot of their other albums. This album feels more like a push towards rock than metal and it feels a lot more calm in comparison to ... read more

This EP was pretty underwhelming from Megadeth. This EP just had the band doing a couple of covers / interpolations of songs, then a couple new songs but nothing was super captivating or memorable to me compared to their other music. This EP was ok to me and not super interesting but it wasn’t bad either. I don’t really see myself coming back to this.

This was another very consistently great album from Megadeth in my opinion. Every track on here was great with great writing, great instrumentation, and great vocals. There were a couple incredible songs as well that I loved and the rest was really damn solid as well. I like this just as much as a couple of their albums and I think this was another great album from them. I don’t really have too much else to say besides that this was another great album and all of my thoughts for this ... read more

This megadeth album was pretty damn good! I think overall, I enjoyed this as much as peace sells. I thought there were some genuinely incredible instrumental tracks but I did think there were a couple tracks I wasn’t too crazy about. For the most part I really enjoyed this album and thought it was really consistent but sometimes the talking vocals were slightly irritating to me and sometimes the tracks were slightly less memorable at times but overall, I thought this was great!

The chemical brothers debut album is a pretty solid electronic and big beat album. I think the album peaks on the beginning for me personally but I think this album is concisely pretty good. I think overall I enjoy the album that comes after this one but this was a solid debut album for sure. I did think some of the songs were slightly repetitive and some were a tad slow at times but for the most part I thought the production was pretty good but just dragged out a bit. Overall I thought this ... read more

I think this is easily my favorite megadeth album so far that I’ve heard. The instrumentation is easily the best that the band has had on any of their albums up to this point in my opinion and the writing was great and the vocals were great and everything about this album was incredible. The instrumentation was easily the best part of this album however and it was just so damn good on basically every single song. Aside from dawn patrol and the first half of the opening track, I thought ... read more

This megadeth album reminded me of their debut in a lot of ways. I thought these songs were enjoyable for the most part but there wasn’t anything super memorable or replayable to me like there was on their last album before this. Some great instrumentation but the vocals, hooks, and writing were just alright for me. Overall, I found this album to be enjoyable enough for one listen but I don’t see myself coming back to this album over their last album at all.

This was easily a step up from their last album in my opinion. I thought the writing was better, there were catchier hooks, and better instrumentation all around in my opinion. I think these songs sound more complete and finished overall and I liked this album a lot more than their first album personally. This was an extremely enjoyable metal album for me with so many great songs on here and this was just so much better of an album in my opinion.

This was my first time listening to Astrud Gilberto and this album was really chill, realxing, and boring in my opinion. I think she has a nice voice but honestly I just don’t see myself coming back to this album at all. I think the majority of the songs on here are ok with chilled instrumentation and fine singing but it’s just a bit too one note and slow for me personally. I wasn’t too crazy about this album but I didn’t think it was bad by any means. Just not for me.

This was my first Megadeth album and for the most part this was a solid debut album in my opinion with good instrumentation but honestly there wasn’t too much I would say blew me away. This album is consistent for sure but I’ve heard better metal personally. There were some songs I thought were just ok and some songs I thought were great but for the most part this was enjoyable.

Extra track rating:

These boots: 6/10

Duke Ellington live at Newport is a pretty solid jazz album. Some of the tracks are a bit too long for me and I do personally think there is better jazz that I’ve listened to but this was enjoyable for one listen and that’s about it for me. I don’t really see myself coming back to any of the songs on here although they were good songs. I don’t really have too much to say besides this was a good album.

Bad by Michael Jackson is another certified classic album from him. Any fans of pop music can agree that this along side thriller are some amazing pop albums. This album has some undeniable classics. I think this album is just as good as thriller in my opinion and I honestly could make an argument for liking this one more. I loved this album and think it’s a pop classic that’s amazing. Aside from him as a person, it’s undeniable that he’s one of the best pop artists of ... read more

This was my first time listening to happy mondays and I thought this was a really enjoyable album. I thought the writing was fun for the most part, the singing was pretty good, but my favorite part of this album was the instrumentation and production. The beats and instrumentals were all really groovy and funky and just really enjoyable to listen to. I thought this album was consistently really damn good but I only thought a couple tracks were amazing and are songs that I see myself coming back ... read more

This Freddie Gibbs EP was pretty great! The first two songs in particular were amazing and had great writing and I loved the production on the second song. Some great songs from Freddie worth checking out!

I think Kim Petras’ newest album is easily her best project that she’s ever released in my opinion. This album finally sees her finding her sound that she really meshes with really well. I think this album has some of her most exciting and most innovative sounds that she’s ever made before. Her high energy and don’t give a fuck energy works great especially with the collaborators she works with on here in terms of the producers. The beats and production are so damn ... read more
