Weezer - SZNZ: Spring
60

Not as bad as I expected. I was actually pleasantly surprised.

Destroyer - LABYRINTHITIS
50

I don’t get the hype.

Bladee - Icedancer
68

I almost crashed my car listening to this.

Nah cause she ate this up.

Ghost - IMPERA
58

I really wanted to like this. Ghost is one of my personal favorite bands. Meliora is one of the best albums of all time, and Prequelle is one of my most streamed albums as well. But this is just so mid. The album sounds really shallow in comparison to their previous efforts. There’s also some of the worst songs in the Ghost catalogue on here. Like, what the actual fuck is “Twenties”. I really hope this album isn’t a sign of what’s to come for Ghost.

230 - Music for anthropomorphic non-binary Roblox characters

An overall improvement on IT.WAS.JUST.LIKE.U, longer songs, more inventive beats, and a more cohesive feel. However, I feel like the 10-minute closer "DEAD MALL" ran too long and didn't really justify its runtime.

Grayman - Grayson Gregg 2017-2022
68

Not every song here is for me, but there is such a large variety within the Tracklist that there is bound to be a song to resonate with every listener. “FMoPL” is that song for me, it goes so hard.

Kanye West - Donda 2
48

Im hoping this is not supposed to be the finished product.

Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby
69

Why is this so acclaimed? It sounds good but there are so many much better jazz records from this time period.

Charles Mingus - Tijuana Moods
95

I think this just cemented Mingus as my favorite Jazz artist.

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
88

Melon review convinced me to bump my score a bit.

Original Score: 84

Zeal & Ardor - Zeal & Ardor
69

I’m not 100% sure how to feel about this yet but I definitely liked it.

FKA twigs - CAPRISONGS
85

This is better than Magdalene

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
82

It does what it sets out to do exceptionally well, this just really isn’t the kind of sound I gravitate towards.

Mitski - Laurel Hell
67

This isn’t bad but I can’t say I really enjoy it. It sounds incredibly un-cohesive, cheap, and unfinished. The vocals in general are mixed poorly, and none of these songs feel complete. Also some of the instrumentals are garbage. “Should’ve Been Me” instrumentally sounds like a Wesley Wills song. As an album it’s a jumbled mess of ideas that doesn’t really know what it wants to be. Still despite all of the issues I have with this album there is still ... read more

Knocked Loose - A Tear in the Fabric of Life
88

This was my first taste of Knocked Loose and God did it leave an impression. This Concept-EP follows our protagonist in a continuous downward spiral of guilt after his partner died in an avoidable car crash. The story itself is ominous and enthralling, playing out almost like an Edgar Allen Poe story. Musically the band created this claustrophobic and punishing soundscape with precise performances and compositions. There are also several interesting uses of samples that play into the narrative ... read more
