96

For this tape, Devon Hendryx tore open his own mind to express his hell in a buzzing symphony of voices, carried by his isolated tone. They together occupy the tracks, as they enclose him into his confessions and realities. He breaks into his suicidal thoughts and history of abuse and objectification. His agonizing desire for love when he can only find humiliation and rejection. The bitter pollution of his mind harrows him to a point of fragility that he gives what he has left to the ... read more

Frank Ocean - Endless
95

Though viewed as a throwaway album, many times overshadowed by the successor Blonde, Endless is something different. To start, my first listen of the album was the music video on Apple Music, later downloading the published release: difference being the omission of the intro/outro by Wolfgang Tillmans. That outro was my original blemish on the album, but the removal helped me enjoy it more. Throughout the run of the album, it's easy to find the intention vague here, especially seeing the ... read more

JPEGMAFIA - SCARING THE HOES: DIRECTOR'S CUT
NR

No score. It's still scaring the hoes, but the added songs are disappointing recycles mostly.

Tyler, The Creator - DON'T TAP THE GLASS
86

I really like the direction that Tyler went on this album. It’s fun, and that’s all it has to be. It’s very dancey while keeping some of Tyler’s recognizable production. It was fun to see him re-use the drums from CHERRY BOMB in a better way. Fun listen to dance to.

Freddie Gibbs - Alfredo 2
85

Very strong rapping from Freddie Gibbs makes the album feel unique, which is important here. The Alchemist had some good beats, but they stayed simple, sampling from similar songs and staying out of the way to let Freddie shine. I think it doesn’t do much wrong, but isn’t breaking boundaries either.

JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
85

I think that this is his best album yet, it solidifies JPEGMAFIA as one of the most skilled producers right now.

Kanye West - ye
76

Very short, and while the highs can be great, it doesn’t have enough time. Not the most consistent either, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter VI
35

Not very inspired. Truly, why would you pick these beats??? Honestly it was really funny how bad some of these were.

Madvillain - Madvillainy
89

Amazing hip-hop album full of unique, inventive, and abstract rhythms and ideas, with strong rhythmic rapping. Honestly a must listen for everyone.

Radiohead - In Rainbows
91

Pretty surreal album that feels like a more flowery Radiohead style, immerses you in a unique experience.

Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
83

A softer more ambient/compressed album with a consistent strong style and well blended vocals.

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
90

One of my favorite albums of all time. It's a unique experience, and an amazing one.

Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered.
75

Nice little compilation of songs.

Kendrick Lamar - Section.80
81

While nothing special for Kendrick's standards, a great album nonetheless

Frank Ocean - Nikes
94

Amazing opener for Blonde.

Frank Ocean - Chanel
84

Not a revolutionary song by any means but it's not bad at all.

Frank Ocean - channel ORANGE
90

Has some amazing tracks. Although not flawless, it does a lot good.

76

Almost it's own album, adds a lot of good tracks onto the original SOS.

Kali Uchis - Sincerely,
78

Beautiful vocals and dreamy sounds

Playboi Carti - MUSIC
46

Never been a Playboi Carti fan to begin with, and this album took some strides in different directions, but I can't say it was a good album, despite some interesting tracks and features.
