Lana combines smooth vocals with infectious hooks over atmospheric production on Born to Die.

From the production, writing and themes to artistry, composition and execution, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a perfect album in every sense of the word.
While at moments My Agenda may be too overbearing, Electra's experimental and eccentric fusion of genres makes it an interesting listen.
While JPEGMAFIA adds some compelling tracks with the Directors Cut, it is apparent why most of these were left off the main album.
JPEGMAFIA merges creative production choices with creative raps throughout a consistent tracklist to create a rather interesting album experience.
From synths and soul samples to Brazilian funk, The Weeknd experiments with some interesting sounds on Hurry Up Tomorrow. The epic and conceptual soundscape allows Abel to spectacularly wrap up his arc as The Weeknd.

While Invasion of Privacy may not be the most profound album, it has many fun and replayable moments that result in an overall good album.

C,XOXO is Camila's most profound attempt at alternative pop and it mostly pays off with some compelling and fun tracks.
Pop 2 is a collection of incredibly interesting and unique pop songs that are full of creative output.
Chromakopia is another incredible world building experience by Tyler. The many creative highlights of the album generally outweigh the less common and less profound moments.
Kendrick takes a victory lap on GNX, leaning heavily into a west coast sound. While it may not be as raw as his previous project, it contains a tracklist full of unique and interesting songs.
