quickly, quickly - I Heard That Noise
71

Good album, interesting segments in the songs that were cinematic in ways, but either hit right or wrecked my ears.

Robyn - Body Talk
63

Probably a this person walked so that others could run type of album. Some great and good tracks sprinkled throughout, but man, are there some airballs on this. AND DAMN SNOOP WAS EVERYWHERE FOR REAL.

D'Angelo - Voodoo
82

HOLY THIS SHIT SMOOTH. The first half kind of feels like an appetizer or sampler with good tracks but man that second half is pure hit after hit.

Dijon - Baby
71

A very consistent record with no crazy standout, but good. The distorted effect on his voice is very hit or miss for me but I can see the appeal.

Alex Warren - You'll Be Alright, Kid
28

L, 21 tracks of the same hooting and hollering with slight deviations at moments, but not enough to praise.

KAYTRANADA - AIN'T NO DAMN WAY!
77

There's not much you can complain about: danceable and funky tracks for the pool, a workout, etc. My only complaint is that there was a three-track run in the middle that was kind of boring, but not bad.

Radiohead - The Bends
79

I thought that OK Computer was great, but Kid A and In Rainbows were meh, so going into The Bends, I had lower expectations due to not being a fan of their sound, but I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the majority of this track list. Their bands instrumentation and content were never the issue, but the vocals always put me off, and on this work, it's actually listenable to me.

Justin Bieber - Journals
49

LOL (UH UH), I can maybe imagine the appeal at the time, but this is full of eh for me. I'm not the biggest Biebhead, so if this makes you feel nostalgic or you just like putting something catchy on in the back, I won't hate.

Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head
78

A nostalgic sounding album with some weaker tracks sonically for me, but filled with great substance and messages from Coldplay. Good, close to great album.

Jeff Buckley - Grace
80

First off, RIP. I didn't learn this until the last song on the album. I think it's a great record with a great look into his versatility, as you have slower tracks and the more explosive (Eternal Life), as well as a couple of covers. I think with the opener, I expected it to be a bit boring(especially since I only heard his cover of Hallelujah before this), but I was surprised with the last-minute energy shift (great opener). A couple of good tracks I'd never revisit, but ... read more

Ninajirachi - I Love My Computer
70

I am not the biggest fan of the genre, so take my score with a grain of salt. It was a solid/good album with some high-energy tracks, insight into their past with FL studios and GarageBand, as well as catchy choruses occasionally. (I WANT TO F MY COMPUTER TOO *wink* *wink*)

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
66

I'm not going to hate, I know this band is loved but it is just not for me, and the biggest reason is Billy Corgan's (that voice is hard to get into)

Bryson Tiller - The Vices
63

After the disaster of his self-titled project, it was hard to be excited for a new drop, and hearing this portion would be rap-focused didn't help with that. Bryson Tiller is a nostalgic artist for me, so I know it's not about the lyrical content, but how it sounds sonically, and occasionally, I thought the tracks were good. Two of the features were solid, and sometimes Tiller rode these fucking instrumentals, but still, it's nothing amazing, and while I can get the appeal, I ... read more

JID - God Does Like Ugly
79

On first listen, this is my least favorite studio album from JID (maybe it's this or DiCaprio 2), not that it isn't good, or that he isn't performing in typical JID fashion with insane flows, wordplay, etc. I just wasn't personally the biggest fan of those R&B-centric tracks in the middle (but 6LACK had a nice verse and TY$ was smooth), would've loved an actual Westside Gunn feature (but that's a nitpick, solid track), that Clipse track kind of disappointed me, ... read more

Yves - Soft Error
69

Enjoyed SOAP and Aibo, but the other tracks were either average or unneeded (cough* cough* STUDY)

Bad Bunny - DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS
74

My first Bad Bunny album, and as expected, it's full of upbeat and danceable tracks with the occasional tone shift covering topics like heartbreak and De-gentrification/trying to keep one's culture alive (which kind of came at a random time in the track listing, but I enjoyed the track and it was a pleasant detour). It's a fun album, I won't bash the lyrics B/C I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH, and some of the complexities may have been lost in the translations I was reading, but ... read more

Chappell Roan - The Subway
85

Chappell Roan isn't always my cup of tea but great pop record

JOYRYDE - BRAVE
68

I was recommended this album by a friend, and I want to mention that I'm not the biggest EDM head, but when listening to this album, it seems to be curated for live shows. Electronic music sometimes has this formula of having these mid-song interludes that I believe are meant to build hype and excitement for the drop, but I'm not the biggest fan of that, and it happens on this album a couple of times (IMO it kills momentum), which is also why I believe this album was meant for a live ... read more

Yves - White cat
65

production cool, excited for the EP

Paramore - Riot!
78

Usually, Pop Punk can get a little headache-inducing for me, but I think it's a good album with strong catchy choruses and high energy. There are songs on this album that don't do anything for me and hit a certain part of my ear that makes me want to get the ibuprofen out (but that's all a personal problem). You can't deny the band is solid and fun, as well as Hayley Williams being a great lead. I also want to quickly mention songs like When It Rains and We Are Broken are ... read more
