Charli xcx - BRAT
85

Such well crafted instrumentals and super memorable melodies on nearly every corner of this album, I can totally see the hype

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
100

An incredible listen both emotionally and musically. It would pain me to give this anything less than a 100 personally

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
86

I haven’t listened to a ton of post-punk albums but wow was this quite a memorable listen. The central theme of being completely apathetic to your own existence permeates this album deeply, even on the songs where this theme isn’t the main focus. There is a near perfect balance of lowkey tracks, thematic diversions, and even a few straight up rock songs pop up on here. Ian Curtis’ vocals are both chilling and beautiful, and the instrumentation is generally incredible as well.

Drake - If You're Reading This It's Too Late
76

For the most part I enjoyed this, although I kinda went into it not knowing what to expect. There were a few songs I thought Drake didn’t really bring a great energy to, and a couple I thought were a bit longer than they needed to be. But for an hour long project and going in completely blind I really enjoyed it.

Taylor Swift - THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT
58

I catch a lot of flack from certain people because I defend Taylor as an artist a lot. That’s because I’ve been following Taylor since a very young age, and I do think she has a few albums that are legitimately very compelling, both lyrically and sonically. Even Midnights, which I thought wasn’t very good, had some elements that I thought could play out great if Taylor built them out a bit more. This album, though, does the opposite. It takes the worst elements of Midnights ... read more

Counting Crows - August and Everything After
83

Love a lot of the intricate lyrics on this album, lots of common lyrical themes and instrumental diversity that I really like as well

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
69

This is the first RCHP album I’ve listened to in full. It’s got some songs with great choruses and sick riffs, but also some songs that are a bit slower paced, not as heavy, showing the band’s stylistic versatility. Not a bad album at all, there were a few songs and lyrics/musical choices I wasn’t a fan of personally but overall I enjoyed it

Beach House - Bloom
74

Really interesting listen, the atmosphere of this album is immaculate

Slowdive - Souvlaki
55

Overall I just don’t get the hype for this. Maybe I just don’t listen to enough shoegaze or it just needs to grow on me a bit more but I don’t really get a lot from this. Sing is a cool song though

Kanye West - Yeezus
60

I keep it 300, like the Romans

Imagine Dragons - Smoke + Mirrors
73

Probably the best Imagine Dragons album. It all went downhill from here.
