John Michel - Egotrip
86

It is insane that this is a debut album, this is a fantastically flowing timeless set of tracks that you just gracefully enjoy and glide across as a listening experience, you would of thought this is an album of two veterans. Phenomenal

Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
90

After sitting on this album for a week with various relistens, I rate Vanisher a 88, being below both my rating for Scrapyard (92) and IDMTHY (100). Of course at 88, it is still without doubt a fantastic put together album, maybe the long wait and anticipation made me expect too much, maybe it being more of a cohesive storydriven album like idmthy, made me believe that it'd be just as or close to the same level, so yeah perhaps I over expected for this album.

Lupe Fiasco - SOS
92

Phenomenal, this guy's found his sound and is polishing it and delivering it a top level. I can't get enough

Copperplate - contentment
NR

this being ai is such a shame as its hard to deny it sounds quite beautiful.

Tame Impala - End Of Summer
72

most likely this direction will grow on me and others but it's hard to make it live up to previous sound

Blankenberge - Decisions
82

an immense floaty experience.

venturing - Ghostholding
78

Not actually much of a fan of Jane Remover's regular sound but their approach to Indie Rock/Shoegaze is quite fantastic, this entire track list is very enjoyable.

Duster - Stratosphere
90

Perfect for those who wish to sometimes just wish to forget the world outside a little and just daze into nothing, sometimes we need some of that.

see through person - every way of living
85

yeah, can say I am a fan, wow

JACKBOYS - JACKBOYS 2
NR

never really ever liked anything Travis Scott, the way most of not all his songs are mixed and his vocals are mixed into his instrumentals to me never sound cohesively working together and is drowned with autotune to the max, I just generally don't understand.

Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out
79

I absolutely enjoy the songs that just delivered this punch, rough, tough grit that has me jamming along as the lyrics and vocals fit each metaphorical punch, I'm listening, I'm enjoying it's some of the best I've heard all year. however then in-between this there is these tracks that are trying to deliver something more meaningful and trying to do in a more melodic sense but trying too hard to still fit with that rough style and it suffers deeply, it doesn't flow and ... read more

Kevin Abstract - Blush
NR

certainly could of went for singles with a lot of these songs, personally my idea of an album is a cohesive idea and style, a flowing piece that works together. While most of these songs are not bad in their own right, as a album together it is all out of place and hard to grab anything from it. I don't feel right rating it when the actual songs and productive are fine and enjoyable, but then as a full listening experience altogether its very hard to grab. It's a album where if you ... read more

Loyle Carner - hopefully !
83

Was a bit on the sceptical on the release to this album, however it is nothing but once again a consistent and beautiful set of songs from Carner, one thing I have always admired about him is as a human he's so open, genuine and real and that always speaks through his music so easily, everything about him and his music feels so authentic, all his albums have all been a story of how his life is going, has been going and was going. This one is a beautiful tale of finding beauty in his flaws, ... read more

Loyle Carner - about time
88

The last two singles on track for this album tbh while certainly not being bad, were not capturing me, I was always gonna tune in. But after hearing these two epically lyin, man. Beautiful. Excited now.

twenty one pilots - The Contract
79

Certainly not what im used to from the band, but I can't say I don't like it

Quadeca - FORGONE
96

Considering my favourite songs from IDMTHY being fractions of infinity and fantasyworld, this is right down my lane, this is fucking unbelievable, black and silver vinyl order, I am ready.

Lil Tecca - DOPAMINE
65

Unfortunately, this one doesn't live up to the past two albums of Tecca that I both really really enjoyed, ashame as I think it had some of the best build up single releases for it as well but the rest of the songs to come with for me really feel forgettable and hardly stand out, this one is quite passable for me.

"and if I might add, massive contradiction, how can one praise it for not wasting time and having flow then state its rushing and bloated"
On 𝕢𝕦𝕒𝕝𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤's review of John Michel - Egotrip
"the album called EGOTRIP feels like its big for its britches and doing a victory lap, shocking stuff who would of thought. Overproduction is such a false term to throw at this, its more than lyrically clear and easy to differentiate the various elements and layers You're hating on it for the guy rapping fast????? Discrediting work just because the artist doesn't have history? What are we doing."
On TenderButtons's review of Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
"Too emotionally driven, Focuses on hate, not critique Contradictory authority, Claims ignorance, then makes bold statements Lacks specific examples, Doesn’t support arguments with song-level analysis Uses pseudo-intellectualism, Name-drops and genre-terms without real analysis Poor structure & repetition, Points are repeated, not built upon Immature conclusion Ends with apathy, not reflection or insight You don't come across as if you have any knowledge, you're just throwing words together and thinking it sounds like anything partially insightful, you clarify nothing."
