Ski Mask the Slump God - BreakTheRules!
80

crazy energy on this one

Tiffany Day - HALO
85

great first listen, loved the energy throughout and the production was awesome

Thundercat - Distracted
83

Thundercat really delivers on this album, not that I ever doubted him.

There is a lot of that signature Thundercat magic being delivered on here, with the features also pulling their own in their respective songs. It was wonderful to hear Mac Miller again with Stephen, Yachty and Rocky also really worked well on here too. WILLOW and Channel Tres’ songs really stood out to me as well.

While the second half kinda wanes a bit, it still fits very well with the sound of the album.

Good Kid - Can We Hang Out Sometime?
80

Good Kid’s debut album (yes, I’m surprised that it took this long considering all the EPs) brings a great mix of pop rock/post-punk that is very pleasing to the ear.

The choruses are very well executed and the instrumentation is very much the band’s signature style, which has been polished since their first project.

While I did appreciate the experimentation on Eastside, I think it needs a bit of tweaking to get right. Cicada is absolutely my favorite track on here, I love ... read more

Shaking Hand - Shaking Hand

a promising first album.

椎名林檎 [Ringo Sheena] - 禁じ手 [Forbidden]
82

She's still got it man. Love everything about this album, from Sheena's voice, to the instrumentals.

khel - hertz
77

really fun, bouncy production and vocals that really sell the songs. only mild song for me was "real girl" but other than that good listen.

77

A great celebration of black culture that was also really fun to listen to.

Mitski - Nothing's About to Happen to Me
79

Pretty decent, a bit underwhelming around the second half, but a good listen nonetheless.

J. Cole - The Fall-Off
80

Really solid project, was really worried with the long tracklist, but it stood pretty well the whole way through.

The Fencesitters - Picture Day
85

a VERY promising debut album, really enjoyed every track on here.

BTS - ARIRANG
30

let me tell you that I TRIED to listen to this album and tapped out barely halfway through.

a lot of these just feel like nachos being reheated from frozen TV dinners

And if my first thought on every song i listened to is just "this really sounds like ______" then that should tell you something.

ずっと真夜中でいいのに。 [ZUTOMAYO] - 形藻土 [KEISOUDO]
84

A really great collection of songs that really solidify ZTMY’s sound and also adds some uniqueness to some of it.

As always, ZTMY comes with those great, groovy basslines and powerful guitars, but for me it’s ACA-ne’s vocals that really shine for me on this. Huge standouts for me were: Medianoche, Hippocampal Pain, and lowmotion algae.

midwest post death - post recovery
82

REALLY good album, loving the instrumentation on this one. heavy WillyRodriguez vibes, can't wait to see more.

Kanye West - BULLY
68

somehow, he returned.

ezcodylee - STUNT 4 LIFE
80

ezcodylee comes onto this album with a great mix of punk and rage music that kept me engaged the whole way through. The style has really developed since Stunt and Die 3, and its great to see that there is real passion behind that sound.

favs:
ALBUM OF THE YEAR !
VOMIT !
FEEL ALIVE !
DIEHARD !

underscores - U
91

Tyrkouaz - CHAKRA ep
85

Flying Lotus - BIG MAMA
68

its an... interesting direction?

Joji - Piss In The Wind
40

Joji’s Piss in the Wind feels piss poor.

I saw someone say something along the lines of, “it’s a bunch of interludes with 3 or 4 actual songs sprinkled in the middle.” and that perfectly sums it up. A lot of these songs feel half baked and too monotonous to even differentiate any of the songs, the features (minus GIVEON) were uninteresting, and Joji’s vocals left a lot to be desired.

For me personally, it feels like Joji’s quality has been declining ... read more
