I’m literally fucking floating

Fav tracks: Plainsong, Pictures of You, Closedown, Fascination Street, Prayers for Rain, The Same Deep Water As You, Untitled

Least Fav: Homesick

Xiu Xiu - Girl with Basket of Fruit
48

Definetly an effective and harrowing piece of art, but I don’t see what’s enjoyable about it.

Lil Ugly Mane - MISTA THUG ISOLATION
68

It had it’s moments, but this album’s trippy and repetitive nature didn’t end up winning me over. While I do enjoy each track for what they are, it makes for a rather draining album experience considering this thing’s duration and lack of variety. This album is best played in the background with some sort of method of distracting you from it’s samey and gimmicky presentation.

Album Highlight: Wishmaster

Favorite tracks: Serious Shit, Radiation (Lung Pollution), ... read more

Death Grips - Jenny Death
92

The superior disc of The Powers That B album cycle offers some of the group’s most intense and damning experiments of sound yet, and as a result, leads to one of their best records.

Fav Tracks: I Break Mirrors With My Face In The United States, Inanimate Sensation, Turned Off, Why A Bitch Gotta Lie, Pss Pss, Centuries Of Damn, On GP

Least Fav: Death Grips 2.0

Death Grips - No Love Deep Web
81

This is definitely Death Grips’ most effectively unsettling album to date. However, this quality makes the record’s exciting exciting moments much more scarce, and usually works to the record’s favor when it comes to moments of brilliance such as Come Up And Get Me and Artificial Death in The West, which perfectly mix eerieness with excellent musicality. Overall, this album is perfectly decent.

Fav Tracks: Come Up and Get Me, Lil Boy, No Love, Lock Your Doors, Bass Rattle ... read more

Nujabes - Luv(sic) Hexalogy
82

Not the biggest fan of the flow on Shing02’s rapping, but the greatness of the lush orchestral instrumentals, especially in a song like Luv(sic) pt.3 are just too great to ignore.

Injury Reserve - Live from the Dentist Office
65

Starts with a great run of tracks, nosedives immediately after, and just concludes with a completely gutless ending. Thankfully their next mixtape is an improvement. I wouldn’t look much past the 5th track on this thing.

Fav tracks: Yo, Whatever Dude, Wow, Friday, 45

Least Fav: ttktv

Radiohead - In Rainbows
98

Just like a rainbow, the somber downpours of this album allow for the bloom of this album’s most explosive and colorful moments.

Fav tracks: 15 Step, Bodysnatchers, Nude, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Reckoner, House Of Cards, Jigsaw Falling Into Place

Least Fav: Videotape

JAY-Z - 4:44
82

Jay Z’s deeply personal angle results in some of his best rapping performances yet.

Fav Tracks: 4:44, Kill Jay-Z, Smile, The Story Of OJ, Bam

Least Fav: Moonlight

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

Fav Tracks: Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach, White Flag, Rhinestone Eyes, Stylo, Superfast Jellyfish, Empire Ants, Some Kind Of Nature, On Melancholy Hill, Broken, Sweepstakes, Plastic Beach, To Binge

JPEGMAFIA - Veteran
82

Fav tracks: 1539 N. Calvert, Real Nega, Thug Tears, Rock N Roll is Dead

Least fav: Germs

Mac Miller - Faces
85

Listening to this album feels like a hypnotic experience in which i’m transported to the expansive world of Miller’s psyche.

Fav tracks: Here We Go, Funeral, Angel Dust, Friends, Insomniak, Yeah (Bonus), New Faces V2, Inside Outside, Colors And Shapes, Happy Birthday, Therapy

Least fav: Thumbalina

clipping. - CLPPNG
86

Despite quite a few low points, clipping delivers an odd but exhilarating rap experience in their self-titled record.

Fav tracks: Body & Blood, Intro, Work Work, Get Up, Summertime, Story 2, Ends, Taking Off

Least Fav: Dream
