$uicideboy$ - New World Depression
80

The $uicideboy$ formula hasn't been this consistent in years. Actually enjoy the fuck out of this.

Wiki & Tony Seltzer - 14k Figaro
86

HOW WAS I SLEEPING ON THIS????

Cool frog!

Meghan Trainor - Timeless
22

What surprised me as not total garbage at first turned insufferable real fast...

Juice WRLD - Wasted
59

Honestly, Uzi kind of ruins this song for me

Juice WRLD - Death Race For Love
77

Edit: 66->77

Everything after "Ring Ring" remains either unnecessary or god awful and if it wasn't for that this would probably be the best album in the genre since there are so many classics on this.

Febuary - February
70

So this style of Screamo/5th Wave Emo is right up my alley on paper and Febuary definitely manage to kindle my interest in the project with the first couple of tracks which are pretty, multi-phased and accompanied by awesome tortured screaming. Some of the Spoken Word passages and shifts in arrangement, velocity and volume on later tracks are reminiscent of Slint ("Kill Yourself If You Have Tinder") which is a cool influence to stumble upon.

The sound is very rough around the edges ... read more

Charli xcx - Von dutch
96

This grew on me sooooo much in context of the album

Charli xcx - BRAT
95

Charli manages to deliver both excessive, self-affirming club bangers and extremely confessional and reflective tracks on "BRAT". In a way it feels like she's making herself dangerously vulnerable in this otherwise vibrant and euphoric world of stardom. While that results in a pretty chaotic tracklist I think it enhances that narrative and forms a consistent album full of high-quality songs.

Edit: 84->95
Pretty much everything about this album keeps growing on me.

Porter Robinson - Russian Roulette
95

What an intimate, stellar, beautiful track. Didn't think a song featuring: "Funny monkey takes a piss into his own mouth, crazy" would have me on the verge of tears.

Poppy - Spit
100

COOOOOOOWWWWAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDD

Poppy - new way out
50

Poppy by the books with rather underwhelming, kind of cliché production.

The Marías - Submarine
75

A very solid, dreamy Indie record that not only lives off the vibe it creates but also surprised me with some super memorable tracks.

State Faults - Clairvoyant
100

This album is absolutely fantastic.

I remember randomly getting recommended "Dreamcatcher, Pt. II" on Spotify at some point and listening to it on an evening walk. I was in a pretty rough spot at the time and I vividly remember how both electrifying and entrancing the sound of it was. It really comforted me.
Now, probably 3 years or so later I finally gave the whole album a listen with that exact memory in mind and, oh boy was I not disappointed.

"Clairvoyant" is an ... read more

The xx - xx
77

Very nostalgic record.
While its dreamy sound hasn't aged too well for me, there are so many stand-out songs on here that make it totally worth returning to for either a trip down memory lane or simply a relaxing, atmospheric listen from time to time.

75

drugs are bad, mkay ???!!!

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
88

What a sad, bittersweet yet serene record, front to back. Very strong vibe to get lost in.

Bring Me The Horizon - POST HUMAN: NeX GEn
62

The second installment in BMTH's "POST HUMAN:" series is a decent expansion of its predecessor that shines at the same things and suffers from similar consistency issues. These are more apparent due to its longer runtime, sketch-like intermissions/interludes that disrupt the flow of the project more than enhance its narrative and a rather loosely assembled concept.
