Tyler, The Creator - CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST
81

This is just a huge flex album and after IGOR Tyler makes it work.

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
80

Not like I had any hoes to begin with, but now I'm definitely dying alone.

Vince Staples - Vince Staples
60

It's good, but barely an album. Just leaves me wanting more.

Nujabes - Metaphorical Music
84

This kind of music exploded somewhere in mid 2010s, but this was released in 2003... crazy. Way, way, way ahead of it's time. RIP king.

The Strokes - The New Abnormal
88

Everytime I listen to The Adults Are Talking I end up listening to it at least 5 times. Literally a perfect track.

The rest are pretty good too.

The Murder Capital - Gigi's Recovery
70

You know that reaction image of Dio from Jojo going "I've seen enough. I'm satisfied."? Well that was me after this album.

It's good. It didn't blow me away or make me The Murder Capital's stan but it definitely wasn't bad. Maybe a bit more 'spice' was needed? Anyway, going to keep an eye out once their next project comes along.

KSI - Dissimulation
30

I fell asleep after 4 tracks

100 gecs - 1000 gecs
77

After all the years, it's still a fun listen. Tinnitus type beat

85

I wanted to review The New Abnormal but felt it was unfair without reviewing the 'quintessential' Strokes album first. Happy to say, it still slaps.

Justice - †
75

They really like spelling things don't they. Tonal whiplash from The Party/DVNO to Stress is a bit too much for me..

Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
66

I dunno. Everything besides Take Me Out and This Fire is painfully mid or just 'OK'. Maybe this would've left a better impression like 10 years back but as a first listen now, it didn't do much for me sadly.

Smino - Luv 4 Rent
68

It's decent, just not something very unique or interesting. One of those albums you'll forget in a week and when you remember think "Oh that one, yeah I guess it was alright."

Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert
88

One of the best album openers I've ever heard. Besides that, an amazing conscious hip hop album. Some songs I'm lukewarm about but the rest elevate the whole experience so much that I don't mind it at all.

Tame Impala - InnerSpeaker
72

It's good and I can definitely appreciate the quality in most parts. The 'crunchy' mixing sometimes works but a lot of times I have to remind myself it's by design and my headphones aren't going out. Yes yes, that's the point but sometimes less is more.

Tyler, The Creator - IGOR
90

One of the most relatable and vulnerable albums I've ever heard. "GONE, GONE / THANK YOU". I need to single this track out because it perfectly captures the 'moment' you truly feel like you got over someone. Did you though? Who's to say. Some wounds heal over time, some turn to scars you forget about for a while.

Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
77

I don't see it as a vast improvement to the previous two albums as some people claim to be. It's still good but for me it's Vampire Weekend 3 and at this point all the albums are starting to melt together a bit. Some fun bangers, a couple songs that border on being annoying drivel and the lyrics that are equivalent to the nerd emoji (though maybe a bit better this time around). You know what you're going to get with this one.

Porter Robinson - Nurture
86

A summer's day packed in an hour long album.

Tessa Violet - Bad Ideas
57

Bad ideas suffers from putting all of its heavy hitters in the first half of the album. Everything after "Games" (except maybe "Wishful Drinking") feels less consistent and fun.

Saba - Few Good Things
60

It's a decent album, just not something I'd myself return to. The aren't many lows, but the highs aren't very high either.

Sam Smith - Gloria
39

Besides a couple tracks, this album is a snooze fest.
