A project that does not live up to the title, West Coast Resurrection feels more like a project trying to kill off West Coast rap rather than revive it. As far as the good of this record, there were a couple of decent songs and one actually pretty good song with Promised Land. However, a large part of this record can be described as boring, fake gangster rap. There were several moments throughout the record that I legitimately forgot to listen to this album and pay attention to the lyrics, ... read more

A solid start is spoiled by an odd tone shift towards the back end of the record, resulting in a very average sounding project. There were definitely some good tracks scattered throughout this project, with Fuck Yo Feelings, The Purge, and I Just Wanna Be being my personal favorites. I think the bonus also bumps up the overall quality of the record. However, around the middle of the record, The Game makes a tone shift to what I can only describe as fake gangster rap, where the artist is ... read more

While the project starts off decently well, a random switch to uninspired g-funk causes the quality of the record to fall on the back end, ultimately resulting in an audio experience that can only be described as average at best. There are definitely some very good songs on this project, such as In The City, F.I.V.E., Just So You Know, and Maybe In Another Life, but there are just as many bad songs on the exact opposite end of the spectrum that it ultimately cancels these great songs out. ... read more

Arguably the best Game record yet, Jesus Piece is a great project that sees Game develop into his own sound in a big way. The biggest thing that separates this album from past records from The Game is his presence on the record, with him not just being in the shadows as his features take center stage, but complementing them well and in some instances standing out with the best verse on some of the songs on this record. The record starts of decent with two solid songs, and then we get into the ... read more

A needed bounce back record for The Game, The R.E.D. Album is a great record. What makes this album so great, similar to his most successful album The Documentary, is the features, as we see legends like Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre as well as future stars like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Tyler, The Creator. It's pretty surreal to see the biggest names from the last era of hip hop on the same album as what would be the headliners of the next era of rap. The record starts out strong ... read more

A less feature heavy project this time around, The Game delivers a great project here and showcases his personal improvement since The Documentary. The Game's sound doesn't change with this record, as he's still delivering that classic homage to West Coast rap, but his ability to carry a track on his own has improved a lot, as he isn't just able to deliver decent verses compared to his features, but can now go bar for bar with them on some occasions. The record starts out ... read more

The insanity of the Viagra Boys is back again, and here they deliver a truly special and fantastic project. Easily being probably the most unique band I've ever listened to, the Viagra Boys have solidified their position as one of the best modern rock acts in the world. With that, this project expands further on the insanity of Sebastian Murphy and the rest of the crew, with mentions of Onlyfans subscriptions, foot fetishes, and other fascinatingly repulsive things. The record starts ... read more

A small improvement from the first rendition of Untold Story, but definitely worse than The Documentary, Untold Story Volume II is a good project. This record makes it clear that, while The Game is obviously talented, he doesn't have enough at this point to deliver a great album by himself, but considering how he has only three projects at this point, that isn't really a knock on him. Regardless, The Game is developing his sound still, though it seems to be coming along well, and he ... read more

The Game shows a lot of improvement on his sophomore project, and with an all star class of features, you have a great, and damn near fantastic, record here from Game. The Game expands on his personal take on gangsta rap on this record, starting to develop his own special delivery and character, and with the help of one of the best producers to ever do it, Dr. Dre, Game really sounds like a seasoned veteran rather than a guy who just dropped their first mixtape. After the intro and a decent ... read more

A decent debut project for The Game here, though this isn't a particularly memorable record. The Game sounds more like the classic 90s rap, sounding very similar to guys like Nas, Jay-Z, Pac, and several other major figures from that era. There's a certain quality to his music that resonates in a different way than some of the more modern rappers I've heard, as when you hear Game talking about his life and the things he's experienced in the hood, you can tell that these ... read more

A fantastic project here, Radiohead's most recent album reaches heights that rival Radiohead's best. This record was very captivating in a unique way here, with the rock aspects of the record almost playing a backseat to Thom Yorke's vocals, a style that unsurprisingly compliments the band very well, though it seems like they can pull off any sound that they truly want to. Right off the bat, this record immediately delivers a great song with Burn the Witch, a social commentary ... read more

Although it doesn't truly come close to the heights that In Rainbows reaches, The King Of Limbs is still a good album. I would say this is easily the most experimental and unorthodox record that Radiohead has done to this point, with the album somewhat seeming like an experiment on its own. Radiohead is all over the place on this record, and with that, in my opinion we don't get the same amount of great songs as we would normally on a record from this group. Still, there are great ... read more

Featuring an unbelievable quality throughout the record, In Rainbows is an absolute masterpiece and an all time classic. What stuck out the most to me with this record was the major range going on throughout all of these songs, making this record feel like a collection of the best of everything Radiohead has done to this point, and what they will do in the future. This certainly has the feeling of a magnum opus, as this record has that unexplainable draw to it that makes you just want to hear ... read more

Being marginally better than Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief is a good record. This was one of the more intriguing listens for me, as there were, in my opinion drastic difference in musical quality throughout the record. Here, the band is seemingly going away from their former post-rock sound, and evolving more into an alternative rock sound. I really enjoyed several songs off of this record, those being 2 + 2 = 5, Sail To The Moon, A Punch Up at a Wedding, Scatterbrain, and A Wolf At the Door. ... read more

A slight decline from Kid A, Amnesiac, though it may be the worst Radiohead record I've hear to this point, is still a good record. Once again, we see Radiohead shifting to more of an experimental rock and post rock sound, an interesting distinction from what they did on records like OK Computer and The Bends. I think that the group will eventually work out the sound in later albums, but for now, it's still pretty good. There were a couple of songs that I really enjoyed, namely ... read more

A decent drop off from the quality of their last LP OK Computer here with Kid A, although it is still a pretty good album. On this project, Radiohead begins to experiment a little more, adding post rock elements to some of their songs and bringing in a less instrumental focused record and going with a chiller sounding record here. Of course, there are great songs littered throughout this project, with Everything In Its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely, Optimistic, In Limbo, Morning ... read more

One of the most memorable records ever made, OK Computer is an absolute masterpiece and a timeless classic. Nothing has changed really with the group's sound since the last record, they are just somehow even better at it now than they were before, leading to one of the best rock records you'll ever hear regardless of genre. There are a lot of simplistic choices throughout the instrumentals and lyrics, but they are done so creatively and artistically that they carry so much more ... read more

Radiohead improves from their debut album to deliver a fantastic project here. Radiohead has really figured out their sound at this point, and with that they have already polished their sound pretty well even this early on in their career. The times where I felt that they sounded a little like Foo Fighters on their last record are gone now, as they have truly become a wholly unique band on this record. The record starts off with a decent track in Planet Telex, and then we get into the first ... read more

A great debut for Radiohead here, and, more than likely, it's only up from here. Their sound is pretty interesting, as I see them fluctuate on this project between what seems to be what their sound should be (in my opinion) on tracks like Creep, Ripcord, and I Can't, and something more similar to Foo Fighters on songs like How Do You? and Thinking About You. This record has a ton of really good songs that I really enjoyed, with Stop Whispering, a song about potential resistance from ... read more

Frank once again delivers an unbelievably good record, that's somehow just a little bit better than his first record. Four years after his groundbreaking debut, Frank returned to once again prove how artistically ahead of the game he truly was at the time. Frank starts the record with a decent song with Nikes, but then immediately hops into a great song with Ivy, a song about Frank's failures in a past relationship of his. We quickly go into another great song from this record with ... read more
