very dark and grim album from earl, its a good album overall, but sometimes it gets too repetitive and dull. needs more variety. there are some stand out tracks that make this album worthwhile, but there are a couple boring filler tracks. overall though its a well-thought album, the themes and setting of the album is great.
best tracks: Burgundy, Chum, Centurion
worst track: Guild
i feel like im on a whole new world. such complex and mesmerizing album. the writing, production, vocals are everything. really shows bjork's raw emotion and im here for it. i definitely have to revisit this multiple times. its very well organized and emotional.
best tracks: It's Not Up To You, Pagan Poetry, Unison
worst track: Harm of Will
theres a reason why its called balloonerism, this dreamy atmosphere it gives off, really makes me float. the topics in here are very hard to bear and heavy and i love it for it. songs like funny papers and excelsior really took me away. such a great posthumous album.
best tracks: Funny Papers, Rick's Piano, Tomorrow Will Never Know
worst track: Transformations
yea no this blew me off. didnt expect it much but doechii's rapping is unbelievable, slid on the beats like it was nothing. worthy of aoty based on the nominees.
best tracks: PROFIT, BOOM BAP, DENIAL IS A RIVER
worst track: FIREFLIES
wild album. really really wild. denzel brings out such a powerful dark energy i cant even process. it really successes at creating an dark ambient. but at sometimes it kinda feels overwhelming, maybe its because im exhausted rn might give it another listen and change my rating. overall, such a powerful album with those 3 acts. if those 3 acts were solidified more, i wouldve loved this a whole lot more.
best tracks: BLACK BALLOONS l 13LACK 13ALLOONZ, SIRENS l Z1RENZ, VENGEANCE l VENGEANCE
