I liked the soundtrack album created by Lopatin. It captures Daniel's signature techniques, but he takes them to a new level and pushes into new boundaries. I'm sure this music will reveal itself even more with visual accompaniment, especially in the tennis segments and matchups. When I watch the movie, I'll add to my review, but I can already say that the synthesizers are written phenomenally and majestically.

Indeed, it's a fairly safe album with clear musical ideas, but it critically lacks the time for deeper exploration and development of the elements presented.

It was definitely a pleasant listen, but an unsatisfactory aftertaste remained.

For me, this release is a pleasant surprise because I practically never like duet music, but here it's a perfect hit. I like all the elements of the album without exception—from the driving musical landscape to the dense recitation. Of course, there are a couple of tracks that are just total filler, but otherwise the album is solid.

A substantial hip-hop album with an incredible musical landscape and a brilliant performance from Nas. In fact, the album lacks standout tracks; all the songs flow roughly the same without any striking peaks.

Best tracks – NY State Of Mind Pt.3 and Bouquet (massive respect for this one).

There's definitely potential and a future in this; all that's left is to bring it into a structured form, and then you can conquer the Olympus of British hip-hop music.

Actually, it's not such a trashy release; there are strong tracks that leave a pleasant impression, like "Hard Body" or "95 Bulls."

The only thing I know for sure about this album is that Glorilla shines and raps better than everyone else, including better than 21 Savage.

It's amazing how the best songs on the album turned out to be "Dracula" and "Loser," which were featured on Tiny Desk Concert.

In fact, the second half is heads and shoulders stronger than the first.

If you don't know how to visualize the word "style" then Dijon's album will give you that representation.

I'll be honest, this is my first time listening to Deftones, so I can't—and don't really want to—judge how much this material differs from their previous work or whether there's any self-repetition here.

I liked the album, although I started listening with some bias. What I heard was an excellent release with incredible instrumental parts, led by a driving electric guitar that sets the rhythm and pushes the tracks forward. I enjoyed the vocals, although I feel ... read more

Madeline > the whole album

An album that under no circumstances can be listened to piecemeal; exclusively a holistic immersion. Only this way will the album reveal its essence to you. It's a holistic organism that breathes and lives its own life, marking different mood swings. Amazing work with electronic elements, but it's a bit of a faux pas to note this – Lopatin is a master and everyone knows it. Of course, ideas repeat in places, but I can't say it affected me much.

A pleasant experience, 100% ... read more

It's gratifying to realize that the posthumous album turned out to be of high quality, and Big L's team treats the artist's legacy with great respect.

The album is indeed solid, with no major dips in quality. I like the selected instrumental tracks – classic East Coast hip-hop with sad piano melodies, dope samples, and hard-hitting drum patterns. Big L had an incredible flow, easily adapting to different styles – he could rhyme at a measured pace and effortlessly ... read more

A stunning album packed with plenty of non-trivial musical ideas that crystallize on every track. I love the mix of hip-hop with diverse musical genres, so you never get tired of listening to the album and are constantly anticipating the next song. Danny is extremely good in his performance, and he's successfully complemented by the featured guests. Of course, the MVP of the guest verses is ta Ukrainka—what a banger she dropped, it's a shock.

I really liked the work. At first, ... read more

The album feels like coming to grandma's for the holidays – it's that warm and therapeutic. This is my first time listening to Mavis, but she's amazing – God bless her health. Gorgeous vocals, cool charisma that perfectly flows over the sunny country-soul instrumentals.

I love every second of this album.

A delightful album that's head and shoulders above their debut work. In fact, all the aesthetics, ideas, and musical solutions were transferred to the new work, but they made them much cooler and more stylish. I like everything – the amazing, precise instrumentals, the amazing vocal performances, and the lyrics with introspective influence.

There are weak tracks like "Inferno", but overall, the tracklist shines with uncut diamonds. I recommend it to everyone for listening!

Objectively: The album is amazingly stylish, thought out to the smallest detail. It amazes with the breadth of the played instrumental parts, as well as the cooperation of the vocals with the instrumental base. Truly, there's nothing to pick at.

Subjectively: Despite all the objective advantages, the release doesn't make any impression on me – I just sat with a stone face throughout the entire runtime and listened to the presented compositions. I don't know why that is, ... read more

Quite decent R&B with dance motifs, but after the previous album, this work doesn't sound as phenomenal. It seems that it suffers from the runtime, as well as the monotony of musical ideas. It's listenable, but better to re-listen to last year's "Sincere".

Disordered instrumental parts with chaotic vocals more resemble the process of exorcising a demon from a person's soul, rather than a musical album with an art-rock orientation.

There are good songs, but on the whole, I remained indifferent after listening.

I am so fucking sorry, but I just accidentally listened to the best album of 2025, and I don't give a fuck.

With a clear head, I understand that most people won't like this release because of its pompous seriousness and excessive pathos, but here, I was literally captivated by everything.

The timbre and power of the voice are impeccable. Celeste soars effortlessly into the upper octaves, while also sliding down nonchalantly to hit the lower notes. Of course, you can detect hints of ... read more
