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

MARVELOUSLY CRAFTED. such a surprise. such fun listen, west coast beats, and his message giving out through is received. he still has a lot to say in this album, and credit to sza too, two features and both of them are stupendous.

best tracks: man at the garden, reincarnated, heart pt. 6
worst track: gnx

very compelling and creative ep. with 4 tracks, newjeans checks off the list on what an ep should be. the only thing that i dislike is that it's only 4 tracks. started of strong and upbeat, but then the mood was quickly changed by hurt, a somewhat mellow feeling. overall its a solid ep, with great production and the vibe they give is contagious.

best tracks: Cookie, Hype Boy, Attention
worst track: Hurt

honestly, it just came to lyricism and the delivery. its too repetitiive. the delivery on some tracks just became too dull, but the production is neat and the vibe is decent. there are some standout tracks but it kinda just fell off by the second half. other than that, this album is def the one to be bopping your head to, or to listen while youre having a good day

best tracks: Location, Magnolia, wokeuplikethis*
worst track: Other Sh*

out of this world honestly. its such a overproduced album which for this case fits so well with mica's vocals. this is my first time listening to them and i do not regret it one bit. the storyline is there and very unique. this the type of album to roll the windows to. the only weakness is the intro, a bit weak and had me having low expectations honestly.

best tracks: Image, Cry for Me, Death & Romance
worst track: She Looked Like Me!

man, this might be his 3rd best album behind cmiygl. tyler shows his dark side and delves into his personal problems that are very intriguing. never wouldve i thought he would get this personal. this album shows how tyler pushes his boundaries and doesnt give a damn of what people think and just wants to make new things. a versatile.

best tracks: Take Your Mask Off, Like Him, Hey Jane
worst track: Judge Judy

wow wow wow, such a great album. ive only listened to big fish theory before this, and i can say that this is far better than it. the instrumentals are very dark and in-theme, with vince obvious improvements in his vocals.

best tracks: Étouffée, Black&Blue, Children's Song
worst track: Government Cheese

such innovative sounds entering my ear every 20 seconds

best tracks: Baby I'm Bleeding, 1539 N. Calvert, Rainbow Six
worst track: Libtard Anthem

AMAZING ALBUM. this reminds me so much of frank ocean. the themes, the relation between songs, even the last song, Freudian, has similarities to Futura Free, Blonde. Vocals are outstanding, if the lyrics were better this might've been a 90.

best tracks: Freudian, Loose, Get You
worst track: Neu Roses (Transgressor's Song)

love this album, super calm and soothing

best tracks: Ruined, Real House, Sadness As a Gift
worst track: Candleflame

soothing album. best to listen at night, didn't expect to like this as much since its kinda a tiktoki-fied album, pretty decent nevertheless.

best tracks: Not Allowed, For You, Taking What's Not Yours
worst track: Till You Tell Me to Leave

very dark album with soothing sounds

fav tracks: Street Spirit (Fade Out), Fake Plastic Trees, Black Star
worst track: Bones

honestly, unexpected. alchemist's simplistic prod. paired w earl's monotone vocals is just so complete.

best tracks: The Caliphate, Mancala, Vin Skully
worst track: 27 Braids

great album. the type of album to relax your mind for 38 minutes.

best tracks: Add Up My Love, Juna, Sexy to Someone
worst track: Echo

best tracks: Melt Session #1, Walkin', Ain't No Way

beautiful production. first time listening to westside gunn, and to say the least, i wasnt disappointed. i get the theme of it and im fairly impressed. his vocals are unique and a bit new to my ears.
