This is Why sees Paramore redefining their emo pop punk teenage angst sound with adult maturity and artistic growth.

The title track, ‘This Is Why’ is a fantastic introvert anthem. ‘The News’ is a satirically groovy post punk banger about the horrors of the world viewed through the news, with Hayley Williams hilariously singing in the chorus as a solution, “Turn off the news.” ‘Running Out Of Time’ is literally what the title suggests, always ... read more

Sampha’s debut is such a beautiful and soulful album of personal growth.

Lahai is a spiritually transcendent listen, where the mix of Sampha’s beautifully intimate and emotionally grand vocals as well as the expressive drum driven and elegantly composed piano production makes me feel like I’m being lifted into the sky towards the heavens.

Scrapyard is a collection of leftover tracks from ‘I didn’t mean to haunt you’, and probably songs that didn’t make the cut on his next album, ‘Vanisher’, as well as songs he wanted to do for fun in between these two rollouts, but fucking hell, these scraps are elite. This just feels like Quadeca doing musical exercise, stretching his musical talents out, and showing off, honestly.

‘Dustcutter’ is indescribable. An ambiguously and sonically ... read more

Quadeca’s ‘I Didn’t Mean To Haunt You’ is an atmospherically ethereal, sonically transfixing, and poetically somber emogaze odyssey into the world of a ghost stuck on earth dealing with pain, heartbreak, regret, grief, memories, anger, love, peace, and acceptance, as life goes on without him and he has to move on through the afterlife.

‘From Me To You’ is a monumental improvement in Quadeca’s artistic evolution, and something that Quadeca will continue to keep pushing in the 2020’s with experimental soundscapes and lyrical ambiguity, venturing into his own form of musical expression that is transfixing and astonishing (especially when you look back at where he came from).

While tracks like ‘Smiling at the Ground’, ‘Work!’, ‘Where’d You Go?’, and ‘People ... read more

As awfully amateurish, painfully generic, and eye rollingly corny as this album is, I always find myself coming back to ‘A Dream I Can’t Remember’, because it shows a glimpse into Quadeca’s future direction of sound and lyricism.

Apparently this was made in one day, and it shows.

I can’t believe the Quadeca we know now made this corny hip hop trash.

The title is self-explanatory.

Horrid.

Yep, definitely a work in progress.

This project is rough around the edges, and just unfulfilling as a whole. The pop centric rap cuts on this are extremely generic and incredibly sloppy. The vocal performances, the lyrical content, and the production are quite unmemorable. The short tracks end unfinished and unpolished. This leaves so much to be desired with what Paris Texas are trying to do here.

‘Heavy Metal’ and ‘Force of Habit’ are the most complete sounding tracks, and atleast bring solidarity to ... read more

Dr Akimbo’s Hand is Paris Texas coming into their own sound with this rock rap fusion, but it’s not quite successful in the scope of their EP. ‘Dr. Aco’s Miracle Bullets’ heavy and thick guitar driven instrumental loses steam after a while, as the song execution from both performers just doesn’t gel into something catchy. ‘Girls like drugs’ feels eerily similar to the previous track with its sound, and is very unmemorable and dull as a song ... read more

Nothing was the same after Drake had a run in with Kendrick. As for the album itself, this does nothing new, it’s everything Drake has already done on previous records with such a boring atmospheric aesthetic drowning the audience through the runtime.

‘Tuscan Leather’ and ‘Furthest Thing’ sound similar in approach, but the latter goes harder, and it’s probably the best song on the album, even if I don’t see myself revisiting that song. ‘Started ... read more

Drake has to take care after his beef with Kendrick. As for the album itself, Take Care is an over-bloated slog of repetitively bland pop/rap/rnb material dwelling in this inauthentic realm of ‘I’m going through emotions because of a break-up, but also I’m a rich artist now, so I’m cool’. Drake just sounds so emotionlessly melodramatic and gratingly nasally when he sings, and the vocal processing just doubles down on how inept his vocal presence is when he gets in ... read more

To this day, I’m still not thanking you for this.

‘Fireworks’ is a boring and soulless pop rap cut with an underwhelming Alicia Keys feature. What the fuck is ‘Karaoke’? Drake’s vocals sound so whiny/grating over the most amateurishly put together hip hop/rnb beat I’ve ever heard. ‘The Resistance’ is a sterile dull song with emotionless vocal delivery and cheesy written lyrics. ‘Over’ has such a grand instrumental with this ... read more

So far gone is exactly what Drake is after his beef with Kendrick. As for the mixtape itself, it’s an insufferable listen of Drake misusing his influences with weak rapping and awful singing.

No comeback, whatsoever.

Room for improvement, more like a whole house for improvement.
