The Beatles - Rubber Soul
86

Doesn’t have as many Beatles all-timer songs for me as Help! (although it does have “In My Life” and “I’m Looking Through You” which are crazy), but this is definitely more consistent and cohesive as an album.

Jack Harlow - Monica
76

I like R&B Jack Harlow! Not quite as good as the best stuff on Jackman but a cool little detour for him

The Beatles - Help!
84

Some of the deep cuts here I’m not crazy about, but the highs here are crazy (especially “Yesterday”, which might be the best written song ever. “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away” is nuts too).

James Blake - Trying Times
86

Kinda feels like his last three solo albums combined. He can’t miss

Cobrah - Torn
78

Very cool. I loved “Brand New Bitch” from a few years ago and this is a promising foundation for future music to build on.

Sampha - Process
86

Heavenly. Absolutely beautiful.

Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me
94

Probably the best depiction of grief I’ve encountered. Unbelievable.

The Scythe - Strictly 4 The Scythe
78

First half is better than the second and it’s generally not striving very high but it’s pretty good while it’s on. Would like to see Denzel aiming higher and putting more effort in though.

slayr - Half Blood (BloodLuxe)
78

Even if it doesn't have anything that quite hits the high of "Holding" or "24/7" for me, this deluxe/new batch of songs that I'm considering a new project are really consistent and a bit more refined than the original album. Slayr has so much potential.

Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues
87

Goddamn this shit is fire. Love this shit!!!

Harry Styles - Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
79

Enjoyable while it’s on and consistent pretty good, but rarely becomes great. Like the production a lot though.

Bruno Mars - The Romantic
83

Very pleasantly surprised considering the middling reception. Yes it’s a bit bland, especially on the songwriting front, and you can definitely tell it doesn’t have the highest effort on Bruno’s end (it for sure feels like an album made to pay off his gambling debts lol), and yet…I really liked it and I kinda think it might be his most consistently “really good” solo album?? It doesn’t have the massive mega hit highs of his previous three albums, but ... read more

Bruno Mars - 24K Magic
82

His most consistent album, even if the highs aren’t as high as the highs for me on his first two albums.

Bruno Mars - Unorthodox Jukebox
81

Songwriting is overall a little weaker than his debut and the album is a bit more inconsistent, with higher highs than his debut, but also lower lows. But this is still really good overall and has a handful of fantastic, best of the decade pop tracks that I’m super nostalgic for

Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans
83

This is my childhood, man. How can I not be nostalgic for this?

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
84

Tears Dry on Their Own is phenomenal

Joni Mitchell - Blue
87

She’s a legend for a reason!

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
84

Very good and iconic but it all blends together a bit

Baby Keem - Ca$ino
82

Really good and shows a lot of growth for Baby Keem on the writing front ("I am not a lyricist" and "No Blame" are maybe his two best written songs), and he at times sounds like a completely different person (I thought Andre 3000 was a feature like 6 different times). It's a little underwhelming considering the long wait, but it still has a lot going for it, especially the production.

"@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."
