Jack Stauber - Pop Food
NR

Wonderfully produced and wonderfully animated, Pop Food offers an experience that Jack Stauber probably won't top for a while

XXXTENTACION - ?
20

admitting i've listened to this and liked it an one point is something I'll take to the grave

McKinley Dixon - For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her
98

What an album!

poetic, unique, original, the perfect sound and devoted to delivering what's promised. this is a pink must hear

Lil Tecca - PLAN A
NR

aoty nerds trying to force themselves to hate dis cuz it's any hip hop made after 2020 (not an awful take)

I like lil tecca, and I like this album

YoungBoy Never Broke Again - Before I Go
NR

I'm in the green, what's happening, searching for my opsssss

I forgot this mixtape existed but maybe that's a good thing

OutKast - Stankonia
96

it's no aquemini, but stankonia manages to extend outkast's timed career by quite a bit

OutKast - Aquemini
100

The art of storytelling is an easy learn, a difficult master, and then there's Outkast.

Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
98

I never thought I could be entertained by a jazz album start to finish, much less a POST-BOP album but here I am, surrounded by the most unique, colorful and delicious jazz albums I've listened to (I don't listen to a lot of jazz albums)

Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.
100

going over this record is like rating a novel - so easy to miss amazing things. I need a relisten.

this is a really really good album

edit: yes, it truly is. there's a reason it won a Pulitzer prize instead of TPAB or GKMC. Not to say it's better, but this album is one of the best things I've ever listened to. It is an accumulation of Kendrick's entire career all topped off with his conscious takes. It is incredibly layered and wonderfully made.

Noname - Telefone
90

Way better than whatever the hell sundial is. And the features do NOT miss too. That intro track is incredible too, and some of the lyrics on here are so creative and fun.

Noname - Sundial
75

Dude, I wanted to like this album so damn bad but with tracks like balloons and boomboom she just somehow organizes insanely good songs with mediocre or flat out terrible tracks. Still, this is a great album, some of my favorite songs of the year and definitely worth a listen for anybody into jazz hip hop and soul.

Pixies - Doolittle
96

funeral saved indie rock, doolittle made it

ik spiral scratch made it you know what I mean

4-20-25: this album aged a little less better than I thought, it's actually pretty overrated with how many boring rock tracks there are tbh. still a really influential and well made album with it's fair share of bangers but not a 10/10

Arcade Fire - Funeral
96

i had to delete my last review but yeah this is a teeny bit overrated, still an amazing record though. It's NOT better than in rainbows or doolittle tho

Radiohead - In Rainbows
97

One of the most life changing and ripe albums you can ever listen to. In Rainbows is beautiful.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
100

this sounds like the soundtrack of salvage the bones if it were a movie

I think I'm too attracted to people singing when I listen to music

not for me but I could see this being an accomplishment in post-rock

I really like how it's organized and you can understand the story without overanalyzing

4-20-25: I started becoming less attracted to the comfort of a human's voice in music and listened to more post-rock and it grew on me a lot

4-23-25: just give it a 100 atp

Radiohead - OK Computer
100

One hell of an alternative rock masterpiece I say

The Doors - The Doors
100

I think I hand out 100s too easily but trust me this one deserves it. In the early days of rock, the genre could've become anything, but The Doors secured it's psychedelic and blues influences forever with this record. Seriously good album and seriously good influence and also insane production for the time. Why do the 60s always have higher quality music than today?

Joey Bada$$ - 1999
95

I really hate how much people overlook this album it's peak hip hop and that is NOT an opinion. This is literally what hip hop is, all defined on a modern record with some of the best lyricism and production of the year (besides a lot of other albums)

Digable Planets - Blowout Comb
93

This album kind of gets thrown up a bit too high, but I probably have bias against it because Low End Theory came out at the same time and people still think this compares. But yeah, good synthesazation or whatever you call it of hip hop and jazz. Some of my favorite all time songs and some snooze fests.
