”Sunburn” could be better, but it’s definitely an improvement over his last album!
Ever since I first heard his music, I was very excited for Dominic Fike’s career and thought he was very talented and had a lot of potential. However, his output has been…underwhelming. But this album is definitely a step in the right direction, even though it still is very flawed and doesn’t fully capitalize on his potential.
With a shortened tracklist containing only the best songs, “Pink Tape” could have been Uzi’s best album. As is it’s still very enjoyable, but it’s just a way too long mess that’s all over the place and doesn’t reach its full potential as a result. I do respect that Uzi didn’t just make an hour and a half of the same song over and over, and I do think that this album has some of Uzi’s best songs to date on it, but I just wish they left some ... read more
Nothing special but the production is solid and it’s good to hear Gunna sound like he’s trying
Is this as ambitious or as fantastic as her previous albums? No, but it’s not trying to be! It’s a fun summery album and for what it is I thought it was pretty great.
My least favorite rapper comes through with yet another bad album that is almost saved by some solid production, but Kodak makes sure it doesn't.
Metro Boomin comes through with some great production and shows once again how talented he is, and there are some really solid guests and highlights, but after about the 450th spider reference I started getting a little tired of it. It’s cool but it being a soundtrack for the movie kinda hinders it overall.
A little bizarre to take their great EP from last year and throw it at the end of an album now, especially since two of those three songs (OKAY! and THE SUN) are still my favorite songs here, but this is still a really interesting project that showcases KayCyy’s talent over some fantastic production from Gesaffelstein.
Edit: this has grown on me a little. 75 to an 80
Original review:
While Arlo Park’s second record “My Soft Machine” is a little too bland and a bit of a step back artistically, Arlo Park’s immense talent still shines through and I do like the slight shift in sound sonically, even if I don’t think it’s executed as well as it could be. The music is still enjoyable to listen to though, even if the production is a little too generic and polished for its own ... read more

"@Pankace I don’t think personality necessarily means an energetic delivery or that she’s switching it up. She very clearly is having fun and having a song called Princess Diana after the memes of her being modern day Princess Diana and having many of the lyrics that she does on here shows her personality to me. The production also at times has personality, but I don’t think she’s devoid of it just because she kinda does the same thing over and over."
