Wonderfully produced and wonderfully animated, Pop Food offers an experience that Jack Stauber probably won't top for a while
admitting i've listened to this and liked it an one point is something I'll take to the grave
What an album!
poetic, unique, original, the perfect sound and devoted to delivering what's promised. this is a pink must hear
I'm in the green, what's happening, searching for my opsssss
I forgot this mixtape existed but maybe that's a good thing
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)
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.
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.
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
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
One of the most life changing and ripe albums you can ever listen to. In Rainbows is beautiful.
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
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?
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)
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.
