I always thought that Kanye’s first three albums were his best, but after re-listening to this album I could definitely understand somebody saying this is his best. This album has some of Kanye’s best verses ever, Rick Ross’ best verse, and Nicki Minaj’s best verse. The production as well as bridges (ex. Devil in a New Dress between Kanye and Ross’ verses) are just beautiful. So many quotable lyrics while also having introspective song topics. Runaway is likely ... read more
Drake’s whiny auto tune singing gets old over the course of the 45 minute track list. Starts decent enough but progressively declines in quality as the songs feel purposeless and drag. This album has some bouncy production that is fun but Drake wasn’t able to take full advantage of it.
Some seriously impressive songs mixed in with some meh, kinda boring stretches. I absolutely love MONDAY and it is one of my favorite songs of 2025 if not my favorite.

The lyrics, singing performance, creative song structure, and the almost rapping part at the end all are so immersive. I think that is Quadeca’s strongest ... read more
You Only Live 2wice is inspired by the recent events in Freddie Gibbs life, a big part being his case in Austria that he was found not guilty of.

A new young Indie rock band with a lot of heart. My favorites of their original songs are 15 Rootbeers, Minivan, and Ghosts. My least favorite would be the Sophia song. They do a pretty good cover of Valerie. I also watched many of these songs live on the Minivan Tour which was an amazing experience. Really looking forward to seeing what the band does in the future.
Graduation is my favorite album of all time and the album that really got me into music. Every song is perfect. Bittersweet poetry while an exclusive to Japan, would fit right in with the rest of the tracklist. Also one of Kanye’s cutest sounding beats.
