Trans Danny Brown and Trans JPEGMAFIA be like "Femtanyl Tester"

Led Zeppelin incredibly successfully disguising their nerdy, fantasy-inspired passion work as a hard rock album.

I didn't realize until I listened how insanely deeply ingrained all these songs are in my brain. Absolutely filled with so much iconic boomer rock

Reminded me of some Griselda stuff, and honestly I liked this more than a solid chunk of Griselda's catalogue I've heard. It wasn't a blow-my-socks-off-instant-orgasm experience for me, but the Alchemist continues to do his production schtick well and Marciano delivers some solid lyrics

I THINK I'm beginning to get why people like Playboi Carti. Each song kind of bleeds into the next like a giant trappy mess. Its the fun kinda mess though. Like a pile of mud you make pies with as a kid. The energy and fun is hard to deny, even if its not my exact taste. The production is actually really good for the most part, but the lyrics tend to lag behind like they have a broken leg

In my opinion, trys a little too hard to be grand and "operatic." I still think it sounds pretty good (REALLY good at parts), but you can tell he's holding on to the vestiges of his "Genesis" roots

Creatively, probably the most interesting album I've heard so far this year. Each song really has room to spread out and create these interesting blends of electronic and natural sounds I've heard elsewhere by someone like Animal Collective.

I think that album is at its best when Julia is using her vocal talents to create a unique kind of pop song concoction, but the instrumental moments work in their own rights

It's incredibly hard to tell a story with music, and even harder to do it without any lyrics. Kevin Coleman did that on "Imaginary Conversations," managing to sound great the entire time

Love a good sci-fi concept album about a vaguely tyrannical government. The rhymes are great, and the minimalistic, spacey production suits the dystopian setting

Much heavier on the funk and disco, creating a far greater dance element compared to The Archandroid. Much more concise storytelling, less standout moments

Adrianne Lenker and Earl Sweatshirt in a "greatly under-sell how good your album is by just calling them 'songs'" challenge

Had no idea what to expect from this group or album going in, so I didn't expect my bus ride to be aoundtracked by experimental ambient music. It ain't quite Aphex Twin, but I was quite pleasantly surprised by the variety in some of the songs. "Three" definitely rises and dips quality-wise, but im impressed enough to check out more of their stuff

I think it's often pretty hard to instantly resonate with musically as deeply emotional as this right off the bat. Usually, the feelings need to sort of marinate and stew like a sadness slow roast. Listening to "Elliot Smith," you're instantly hit with melancholy and grief and something else probably but I've ran out of adjectives

I'd be lying if I said I didn't vibe with the relentless energy of "Monster" at certain points, but it just doesn't feel particularly gripping enough to earn a higher rating. Very few songs feel like they warrant their full runtime, and most songs aren't over 3 and 1/2 mintues

"Debut" is pretty good, but "Post" really shows what Bjork is capable of as an artist

500th review YIPEE

Starts with a bit of a slow burn until it slaps you in the face mid-way through Philautia with a heavenly, transcendent instrumental. That's a bit of a recurring theme on "A Lonely Sinner," beginning with a slow, somber vocal section leading into a slamming freight train of emotion and sound.

I wish that samlrc deviated a bit more from this song structure formula, as these slower parts were my least favourite. Nothing against their singing, but I found it wasn't ... read more

Not even sure what half these instruments are. I'm not ready to say this is a personal favourite, but it's hard to deny the insane levels of creativity and technical mastery that Jimi Hendrix displayed in his brief music career. I'm literally in awe that this came out in the SIXTIES like what?!?!?

It's not the kind of album I'm going to bump all the time, but if anyone asks who the best guitarist of all time is: I have my answer

Flaw-wise, there really isn't anything to speak of. Each song feels like a near-perfect Soul song, smooth and emotional. Song to song the album does begin to show signs of repetition, but each song stands alone as incredible pieces of music

With a dual-profession in acting, it's easy to tell why Janelle Monae goes so grand and theatric when it comes to creating music. This is a solid start to a multi-album spanning science-fiction epic, packing a couple solid stand-alone songs

The Marshall Mathers LP if it was good

Brutally intimate and personal, combining fantastic story-telling and stellar performances. Production is the only aspect somewhat left to be desired. I think it sounds good and fulfills it's purpose, but I've happened to have listened to several other rappers recently with that same Lo-Fi beat selection
