This album isnt too much crazy. The production is pretty good, but a lot of the songs in the middle 50% are just kinda eh. There are some peak songs though dont get me wrong. But this is album just feels like 2016. I mean desinger, rihanna are both on this, in a row. But yeah an album with good standpoints but nothing crazy.

Marcus D - Melancholy Hopeful
77

This is super great and chill. Its like a mire furturistic type Nujabes album. This was really good and the features had lots of standouts. I wish their was a bit more originality though. And not much blows me away, but its still really nice.

J. Cole - The Fall-Off
88

This album is a lyrical masterpiece in hip hop. Its a consistant peakness throughout. The rapping never dips, and the hour and 45 go by so insanley fast. This honestly has a great case for being album of the year. The story telling in this is insane. Its just amazing going from 2pac and biggie to someone j cole knew before he left his home town. The fall off is inevitable which is j coles version of rewind from the goat Nasir jones, is a masterpiece. Honestly I like J cole one better. The ... read more

Fiona Apple - When the Pawn...
94

This is a really good ablum with amazing drum and piano work throughout. Fiona Apples performance throughout, full of emotion and the singing is amazing, my favorite of which is get gone, which is just a masterpiece of a song. The writting is really good, at times a little corny, but thats just do to time. The writting still is really good and is very calm and nice. Just an amazing album.

MIKE - Burning Desire
89

This is so amazing, the abstract hip hop here is plain peak. MIKE gives a great consistant performance. His rapping is great and his calm energy is great. Love the production as well, and the features deliver. Its not doing too much new, but I enjoyed everything about it so it was great.

IDK - e.t.d.s. A Mixtape by .idk.
69

This is an decent album with an insane feature list. It really doesnt do anything for me, but also does nothing specificly bad either. Its an album I'd put someone onto mostly due to IDK's performance, but ithe rest is nothing crazy.

Nujabes / Fat Jon - Samurai Champloo Music Record: Departure
93

I've listened to this album a bucb, but have never reviewd it. I think its more because I thought I already had reviewed it. This albums production all around is amazing, most specficly the Nujabes section which might be some of my most replayed art in music period. Just amazing

A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb
81

I truly love this album so far. I think I will continue to add to this review as I listen to this more. I believe this album will honestly only grow on me as time goes on.
Anyway to the actual review, the first track was probably the worst in my opinion. Order of protection has an alright beat with the autotune really selling it for me. Im not someone who hates autotune that much but this track does not do it for me. 55/100
But Helicoptor is amazing, Rockys performance is great as always and ... read more

The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2
90

I truly found this album very engaging. It was much diffrent then anything I have listened to before. I think most of this is due to the atmosphere of this album but also due to the genre. This album is dark very dark. It is a sad album. The lyrics go into this heavy and so do the instrumentals especially the one in the final track. This feel of this album is something I have truly never went into before so it was nice to go into. The closest to this I've listened to with this atmosphere ... read more

Björk - Homogenic
94

I love this albums unqiue and expermental production. At first, same as vespertine I didnt like it much. But the further I went, the better it got. This was only amplified on relisten. Like previously said the production is the standout. It feels just emotional, extreme, and futuristic. This can all be same for Björk's vocals. This and vespertine are both great in this aspect, but I feel like this album pushes it (mostly the emotion) even further. Which is why I like this album ... read more

Saba - CARE FOR ME
87

This is a really consitant album with Saba's unique, fun, and and introspective style are the standout. The production is decent but most arnt anything crazy. The standouts of this album are so great. I love his album from this year, Im excited for him to continue.

MIKE & Tony Seltzer - Pinball
66

A pretty decent but nothing crazy abstract album. Wish the album was longer. The rapping is good and so are the feature, especially the Earl feature. This album is just a decent abstract ep.

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
93

Last album of 2025!!

This album is peak jazz fusion. It can be so calm and beautiful, then some of the most choatic beautiful jazz I have ever heard. I love the guitar additions. Its a mountian of a project with some of the most out of left field and experimental project for such a sucessful artist. This is just a great album.
Favorite: Miles runs the Voodoo down
Least favorite: Spanish Key (still great though.)

This was such a great year for my music journey. I used to only listen to random ... read more

Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...
100

2nd last album of 2025

This album is just a masterpiece. The rapping, the flow, the lyrics are all groundbreaking. The production, like all of RZAs production is just peak. Raekwon and Ghostface both deliever absolute peakness throughout. But the best bars was from the GOAT Nasir Jones. Just a great NY project, and the best wu tang project.

93

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
93

4th last album of 2025.

This album was amazing. The production was creative, fun, and very atmospheric. And same with Del's rapping. This just feels like the perfect abstract hip hop album. The good, yet extremely creative lyrics and the amazing futuristic production. Its just amazing and does amazing on what its trying to do.

Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun
100

This is the start of my last 5 reviews of the year. This album is great, from the production, to her unique yet fun and beautiful delivery. The soul of this album is unlike any other. It has to be my favorite neo soul album of all time. It truly is just a masterpiece. I also love the features on songs like in love with you. Only 4 more albums of 2025.

Madlib - Shades Of Blue: Madlib Invades Blue Note
79

Not a bad album by any means, but really didnt catch my attention that much. Its well produced but at times feels a little messy. I like the sampling in it though.

Michael Jackson - Thriller
91

A bunch of iconic songs in a row. Thriller, beat it, and Billie Jean is a insane line up. Its nothing crazy though. Just 9 well produced 80s pop songs. He did it better than really anyone else but even then its not to much to do with, like most pop. Still great though, and better then off the wall.

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
86

I liked this album a good bit, but think wish you were here is still better. The atmosphere and production can be very very good. But I wish thier was a bit more of a slow burn on the songs. Still a classic for a reason none the less.
