SOPHIE - OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES
98
Well, this is the first time I've ever cried over a celebrity's death, bawled my eyes out in fact. Usually when I cry it's either cause I can't figure out something in myself and it scares me or because my Grandpa passed away or something, but this is new. This hurts so much and all day I haven't been able to figure out why. I've just stuck been on loop, flipping through memories of her art, thinking about how much her work and message has positively impacted me and countless others, and ... read more

The Impressions - This Is My Country
79
Curtis Mayfield really was one of the greats. One of the best writers and arrangers from this era of soul music, and ‘This Is My Country’ only gives you a taste of how sublime his solo work would be. Even still, this album contains a handful of the most beautiful soul ballads of the late 60s. “Fool for You” is an absurdly pretty song, the teary-eyed strings that stretch upwards through the chorus are truly gorgeous, plain and simple.

Plus, the 10 tracks that comprise ... read more

Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion
72
The slower tracks like “Dawn of Meggido” didn’t do a whole lot for me, there’s not enough dynamics for the song to sound properly menacing. But when Celtic Frost pick up the pace, ‘To Mega Therion’s power is hard to deny. Gotta be one of the most devilish guitar tones in all of 80s metal. “The Usurper” is terrific, whole album sounds positively immoral.
Ariana Grande - eternal sunshine
67
Not bad imo, but doesn’t hold a candle to the ‘sweetener’ - ‘thank u, next’ era. “yes, and” was pretty tepid as a lead single, one that already feels dated, but there are still some jams deeper into the tracklist. I look forward to hearing “bye” on the radio all year, glorious start to the album, sounds like a huge hit already. It’s a dazzling retro disco track in the vein of early MJ but with a modern punch to its kick drums. It has ... read more
Charli XCX - Von dutch
81
Gets better with every listen. Pumped for the album! :D
Judas Priest - Invincible Shield
75
Absolutely wonderful, brightened up my whole day. These guys are well into their 70s and they’re still making traditional heavy metal that sounds straight out of the 80s. Like seriously. This and their last full-length, 2018’s ‘Firepower’, sound like they were recorded IN 1984, shimmering, chrome-plated production and all. Rob Halford has the kind of showy, theatrical voice that you would expect to really suffer with age, but he sounds terrific on these new songs! Like a ... read more

Hey Devin, I am once again an AOTY user asking for your time.

Self-promos aren’t something I usually feel comfortable doing, since if you’re not interested in what I’m promoting then I don’t really wanna make you watch something you don’t care about. And if that’s the case, feel free to just ignore me, I probably won’t ever do shoutbox promos again anyway lol. But I recently dropped Part 1 of my top 20 songs of 2023 and spent a TON of time on editing and stuff so I’m gonna self-indulge a little bit here. If you’ve got the time or it sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d love to know what you think of it! Thank you!
