Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter - SAVED!
86
FAVORITE TRACK: I KNOW HIS BLOOD CAN MAKE ME WHOLE

LEAST FAVORITE TRACK: THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD

Kristin Hayter described SAVED! as "a noise record with no noise". After listening to this, I can say that's probably the best description. SAVED! is a terrifying, heart-wrenching and exhilarating project about faith. Kristin Hayter is no stranger to the topic of religion, but this album has a much more positive outlook on it than her past work as Lingua Ignota. Even with a more ... read more

Sufjan Stevens - Javelin
99
FAVORITE TRACK: So You Are Tired

LEAST FAVORITE TRACK: maybe There's A World?? Like if I really had to choose

(Copied and pasted from what I wrote for my university's newspaper)

Sufjan Stevens contemplates life and love on his thirteenth album, “Javelin.” His most personal music venture to date, “Javelin” revolves around the idea of how much love gives, and how much it takes away.

Current Joys - LOVE + POP
54
FAVORITE TRACK: LOVE + POP

LEAST FAVORITE TRACK: Rock n Roll Dreams

I have no clue if I like this album or not. I love Current Joys if my username didn't make it obvious enough. But this one is... out there. Nick Rattigan has been saying for two years or so now that Lil Peep has been one of his major inspirations in music recently and you can REALLY tell. From a Lil Peep cover opening the album to Cigarettes sounding like it could've been written for Lil Peep to a Lil Yatchy feature on ... read more

Sprain - The Lamb as Effigy
89
FAVORITE TRACK: We Think So Ill of You

LEAST FAVORITE TRACK: Privilege of Being

I am nothing if I am not on my knees.

yeule - softscars
92
FAVORITE TRACK: dazies

LEAST FAVORITE TRACK: ghosts

yeule’s softscars is the future of pop. Combining pop-punk that calls to the days of Avril Lavigne with this slick futuristic sound, yeule delivers honest, heart-wrenching pop music that is completely unrivaled.

Jeff Rosenstock - HELLMODE
88
FAVORITE TRACK: 3 SUMMERS

LEAST FAVORITE TRACK: WILL U STILL U

HELLMODE is quintessential Jeff Rosenstock. Rowdy and colorful guitar riffs, lyrics that come off more like a conversation with a friend than anything else, and ska music- it's the usual combination for Rosenstock's sound but it's still fun and refreshing on this album.
