inoffensive experience but no matter how many times i listen to this the only songs i can remember the sound of are kyoto, savior complex, and the closer

there are some genuinely beautiful moments on this album - through calor, machote and no queda nada in particular

however some other songs could have used a bit more of a fulfilling vision than the same 1-3 phrases repeated over 3 minutes

one of the best pop records of the 2010s is pretty boring

sat thru 10 mediocre pop tracks just for

One to the two, three to the four, five to the six
Seven to the eight, shake 'til it vibrate
One to the two, three to the four, five to the six
Seven to the eight, shake 'til it vibrate
She know that she bad, jean full of ass
Want what she got, want what she have
I see you being bad, baby
I'm all in the cut, pouring it up
Rollin' it up, holding it up
Not givin' a what
You roll with me, you gon' see
How I s'posed to be?
I ain't gon' lie, like my women in ... read more

the vibes are intact until be yourself and facebook story come on

this starts (if you know you know, the games we play) and ends (infrared) strong. pusha has some crazy rhymes akinyele makaveli omg how does he do it. some duds "And they tired of dancin' like a Ying Yang Twin You can't have the Yin without the Yang, my friend" bruh. come back baby cannot establish a tone and is the most disposable track. hard piano is named off the corny piano beat ross verse sucks he didnt even try 070 shakes vocals in santeria are soulless and the start of yes ... read more

generic trite impersonal. everything you do not want your R&B to be*

the intro showed promise but the rest is so monotonous and uninteresting. the prechorus to butterfly is notably one of the worst things to come across my ears

saved 2019 kpop with this one

Side Effects is perfect. it's the other songs that don't live up to it's excellence

I get why it's revered but All of the lights is intolerable, So appalled is boring, and Blame game does too much

otherwise 10/10

a lot of the production is like prototype flowerboy and igor. the biggest differences are the album's theme isn't as deep as those 2 and Tyler uses the dreaded f word a few times. I like hearing Tyler rap his anger a lot

keep Run, Fucking young / Perfect, and Keep da O's. the rest are bangers

WJSN continue building upon the 'cosmic' part of their name in this EP. bar Hurry Up which was an odd inclusion that they still kind of ignore a year later and You & I which is a "gift to the fans" mellow type song that rarely ever does it for me.

lead single Save Me, Save You sounds a bit hollow and is carried largely by the vocal melody. the urgent tone of the track was done better on their prior release Dreams Come True. meanwhile You, You, You - I-Yah - Masquerade is one of ... read more

1989 is Taylor's most cohesive and focused album. it's also the most safe and easily digestible. there's no outright terrible song on here but it can start sounding dodgy in the second half where she runs out of interesting song topics.

personally, Taylor's best songwriting comes out when she writes about direct personal experiences. this quality of hers can be found on the standouts of the album: Blank Space, Style, Out Of The Woods, and All You Had to Do Was Stay. this cannot be found on the ... read more
