one of the BEST projects I've heard out of the underground recently. Sloppy Joe/Never Go Down/Wipe Yo Nose is one of the best 3-track runs I've ever heard.

REALLY enjoyed this album, Rocky absolutely delivered on this album for me. Despite the wait for this, it feels like a cohesive and not bloated album. Loved every song on here, I really don’t think there was ever a dull moment on this album. I really enjoyed the experimentation that he decided to weave into this album. For this album, I can forgive the wait. Don’t be dumb.

This is a DAMN great album. Lucy stays consistent throughout the entire thing and the beat, holy shit the beats on here are amazing. Ouija was easily my favorite out of all of these but I’m absolutely sure that the other songs on here will grow on me the more I listen to them. Prettifun also made quite the impression on me as well, might go into their stuff more.

Pretty eh.

I thought this album would be more of what I was used to with this band, but it feels like some ideas are like, half there.

Some of the instrumentals are good, but when the vocal quality (and yes, I WILL be annoyed about the mixing on some of these because I can BARELY hear vocals on some of these) isn’t up to the same level of quality is when it doesn’t work for me.

Hopefully next album can be a return to form.

As my first listen to anything McKinley Dixon, this is a really good first impression. I absolutely love the jazzy and bright production on this album, and Dixon’s ability to rap and mesh well with the features really tie this album together.

Domo Genesis shows that he’s good at being a consistent lyricist and the production throughout was nice to listen to. This album doesn’t really present anything groundbreaking for Domo, but its nice to know where he’s at now.

This album is a really good mix of danceable, hard-hitting pop rap, to introspective soul sample cuts that really emphasize this album’s theme, which is trying to come to terms with growing up, and that you can still enjoy things and have fun when you get older. The production on this album is top-notch. From the samples to the banging drum breaks, Joey’s production is stellar on here.

I’ll be honest, the rollout for this album almost put me off this album. BUT, despite that, I really did enjoy this album. JID consistently proves that he is a juggernaut in the current hip-hop age. From his smooth flows to his witty wordplay, JID keeps your attention despite, what is in my opinion, a slightly rocky middle section. The production here is also really damn good.

Okay. I wanted to like this album more than I do right now, but there’s not a lot of variety. A large majority of this album feels very samey, and I while I do really enjoy the beats, that’s really the only thing this album has riding for it mostly. Es’ vocals are cool, but there’s not much to talk about.

If you want a good album to put in the background, this is a good pick, but don’t go into it expecting anything that breaks more ground than what’s there.

one of the best albums from a game i've listened to

unbeating my ble so much rn

For my first Geese album, I really enjoyed it. While the storytelling was a bit hard to catch at first for me, it still managed to get me hooked and want to relisten for any more bits of story. The instrumentation and singing on this one really impressed me, at times it felt like I was listening to a Rumors-era Fleetwood Mac.

Overall, can’t wait to see what else Geese has to offer.

Overall, I like this album. Danny Brown was always someone who likes to experiment with the genre and I’m glad that he’s enlisted newer and upcoming artists to help him on this album. The production overall was a definite highlight for me, especially those Quadeca songs.

To be totally honest, I feel kinda disappointed here.

Like, not to sound pretentious or entitled, because that’s the last thing I wanna be when it comes to giving my opinion on music, but this just feels so, eh.

When you listen to Tame Impala, usually one’s mind immediately goes to something like Currents or Slow Rush, because those have some of his most lively and powerful songs. But with Deadbeat, I really don’t feel any of that soul I guess?

I really enjoyed this! Its a great collection of songs that really work well within the context of the already wonderful base album.

Once again, Jamie’s production is a wonder to listen to. I don’t think there was really a single moment where I was ever bored of any song.

Consistently VERY good. Pink's production on this album is very solid, really felt like every song was meant to be in this album. Not one song out of place.

The album to me really felt like those early 2000-10s DnB or Jungle mixes you'd find on YouTube, with some tracks really feeling like they lead into each other. Also makes these songs very playlist friendly, which I can appreciate.

I really wish Noises was longer, but I'm still happy with it being on here. Illegal really ... read more

REALLY solid work once again from these two.

Now that they know what works well between the two of them, this one feels like both Freddie and Al have begun to move more as one unit. They seem to have a better grasp (as if they really needed it, lets be honest.) on how to compliment each other's styles.

I absolutely HAVE to compliment the sample work on here, most notably on Feeling and Lavish Habits, those two's samples are really ear-grabbing for me.

I wish Al experimented a bit ... read more

Really enjoyable and energetic surprise album after the emotionally charged Chromakopia.

Tyler's production and overall delivery just forces you to dance like nobody's there, with booming 808s and groovy synths.

Opening strong with Big Poe with an unexpected feature from Pharrell (credited as Sk8brd) and sampling Busta Rhymes, really setting the tone for this album. Sugar On My Tongue and Ring Ring Ring really remind me of those 80s-90s era skating rinks. Stop Playing With ... read more

A wonderful artistic piece from an artist that's really found his footing in all aspects.

Quadeca paints his world on a grand canvas with this album. While initially hearing about this album, I was worried that he was a bit TOO ambitious with the direction of this album, but when I heard the two lead singles, GODSTAINED and MONDAY, my opinion shifted.

THE INSTRUMENTATION ON THIS ALBUM IS INSANE.

I had thought we heard the peak of Quad's production on SCRAPYARD, and while I ... read more

Since their last album, Black Country, New Road has had a major change in the fact that the band's former front-man, Isaac Wood, had departed the band right before their previous work, Ants From Up There, was set to release. I was concerned that the band would end up a bit disjointed for their next work.

My worries were for nothing!

BCNR manage to stay true to their sound on this new project and have show that they can still be consistent.

The folksy acoustic guitars, and prog rock ... read more
