Super super solid Mixtape that just verges on being something amazing

Definitely the kind of music that sounds like it would soundtrack an important life moment. It's messy and amateur, but still quite well constructed. I have zero hope of understanding what they're saying through the mixing, which doesn't end up being that much of a problem when most of the lyrics aren't even in English

A (relatively) more subdued experience on "Strange Mercy," still finding a nice spot in the early St. Vincent canon

Ambient almost to a fault, "Untrue" blends various electronic elements together into a product that will all but blend into the consciousness of your mind

It would seem that slowthai has a good chance of potentially being a terrible person, so I will NOT be investing much of anything into him or his music personally.

That being said, "UGLY" is quite good. Its atmosphere is grimy, edgy, and adrenaline-pumping. The Hip Hop Synth Punk formula is one I wish I saw more often, and I can't say that slowthai fails on the execution

I think this album single-handedly made me re-evaluate my stance on country music

The album cover probably has more of a legacy than the Mixtape, as I see it brought up EVERYWHERE. All that being said, it's really not all that bad. Comparisons to other music aren't going to do much, and so on it's own: I can say that JEFFERY is fairly catchy and pretty agreeable sound wise. I don't picture myself coming back that often, but I'm definitely getting warmer to Trap as time goes on

I was a bit late to the St. Vincent party, but I was trying to rectify that and get through her discography before her newest album releases. I got a little sidetracked and she beat me to the release of "All Born Screaming"

Despite being such a new listener, Annie is quickly becoming a favourite artist of mine, creating super colourful Pop/Rock stuff. This newest album is nothing but proof that she shows no signs of slowing down or dipping in quality, and that any year where she ... read more

I do not believe the "Hard Rock" label. This is "Silly Rock" I think. I think that Queen might not be an album band, because while the singles are pretty good, some of the deeper cuts don't hit quite as hard

bit of a snooze fest, if I'm being honest. The goal of the album is recreate that 80's/90's pop sound, which I do think it does quite well. I also don't really care for a lot of the more generic pop music of that era all that much, so that kind of puts Fabiana Palladino at a disadvantage

In my opinion, definitely one of the better Earl projects in a while.

I think the whole aesthetic around it is really cool with those little illustrated animations for all the songs. The production is Alchemist production, and the rapping is Earl rapping. I don't think either is perfect by themselves but they compliment each other surprisingly well. Earl's lyrics are dense and poetic like usual, cutting through The Alchemists jazzy beats.

The album isn't as conceptual as ... read more

the way that all these pop songs are chopped up to shit and blended into dancey, vaporwave concoctions dumbfounded me when I first heard this. magic was injected right into the veins of this thing and I love it

One of the weirder listens for me in a little bit. Cibo Matto is not content with just being one thing; stacking influence on top of influence and idea on top of idea. While this does result in a fragmented and scattered experience, it's also a very enthralling and hypnotizing one

Decided to go back and listen through some other of Julia's stuff after this year's release. Can definitely say she was still putting out good stuff then, too

Unironically the hardest I've laughed completely alone in a LONG time

As is generally agreed upon, not as solid as the first Man on The Moon, I but still think it has a lot to offer (somewhat) lyrically and (definitely) production-wise. Cudi, as always, brings on a whole crew of talented producers to create a wide range of eclectic beats.

Once again, I find the concept aspect of the MoTM albums to be a sort of non-factor, but the music delivers either way (even if the album isn't quite the Empire Strikes Back of the trilogy)

my observation continues to be true: Another great debut album amongst many others this year

Really nice lil bit of mid 2000's pop revivalism with a healthy modern flair. I'm looking at this several years after this came out, where there's a titanic mountain of retro-synth pop out there

While St. Vincent's debut felt like she was still sort of tepidly dipping her toes into ideas and sounds, her second album sees her already diving headfirst into her own lane of music. Annie's ETHEREAL vocals grabbed me as they have previously, and some noise elements give a unique profile to "Actor"

Definitely taught me that there is a male shoegaze vocalist accent. It isn't bad by any means, but I didn't find it particularly stand out, either. Very much a middle-of-the-road experience
