Feels like a locker room warmup for talented MCs that was never meant to reach the mic.
A surprising lineup of bangers from rappers and producers soon to make a big name for themselves.
Pusha T and Malice are back after over a decade of hiatus, a time in which I had grown up without being familiar with the name Clipse. But now they're back, and despite their age, sharper than ever. Their wit and skill are threateningly impressive, able to write about selling coke in 1000 different ways while still finding room for thought-provoking pieces like the moving opening track "Birds Don't Sing." While the production can occasionally be my least favorite part of Let ... read more
Far more funky and memorable than its sister record, yet still plagued by the dark cloud of confused purpose.
An album with stellar production that suffers greatly from a lack of a driving central force.
A remarkably memorable release, with some of Charli's catchiest and heartfelt songs, all amassed over a time of isolation that fueled creativity.
Billie really blossoms as a songwriter, and her vocal chops are more compelling than ever as she digs into more bluesy and soulful performances.
I think Billie's aesthetic here is very much something of its time, and it hasn't aged all too well when compared to her more grandiose works to follow.
Bluegrass has never been as epic as this, from tight twinkly tunes to plucky love ballads to expansive progressive builds.
The heavy sound is something I just don't think I can stomach as my taste currently stands. The drumming was a highlight. The philosophical quandries of the album leave me feeling gross and defeated, and mostly not in a good way.
Not something that gets me going, but its potent punk philosophy is classically important.
Love the cover, love the vibes. Love the thick emo goodness.
Excellent pacing and production. Thick, slow guitar and bass rhythms with sharp drums. The narrative snapshots create a cold, dissonant world of freedom, death, and the unknown.
An excellent follow-up to their previous collaborative EP.
This EP blew my mind. This is exactly the pocket of alt-country and slowcore shoegaze I didn't know I needed in my life.

"sweet! definitely check out their other albums like haram and we buy diabetic test strips. i think this record is rather weak compared to how exciting their other projects are. you may definitely see some improvements."
On CMAT - EURO-COUNTRY
"@sminty My 5s' are not negative. Anything I score from 4-10 is a good album. Overall I enjoyed the record, it sounded good. I wasn't very impacted by it by the end. So I gave it a modest score while recognizing the talent present."
On Swack's review of Josiah Queen - Mt. Zion
"@lforce2007 The thing is, it IS about the music though. The profit machine is what makes the music so bad. All Josiah has to do I have some quirky terrible writing over a stomp and holler beat and people eat it up and it makes money. He is never required to try any harder than the bare minimum because Christian consumers settle the simple label "Christian music" and never challenge the artist to evolve. Christian music is regressing. It keeps getting more boring."

"Hell yeah! I do think a few tracks are a little weak, but Drinking Age and $0 are actual peak in songwriting."
On Swans - Birthing
"@IYUN Thanks for the reccs! I've only been keeping up with new releases in music for the past 2 years, so I've missed a lot from acts like Swans with big, old catalogues."
