twenty one pilots - Breach
76

The second half was much better. Less rap, more sing!!! I know nothing about the lore, but I didn't think that affected much. I prefer this to Clancy. I like electronic aspects in alt-rock a lot, and that's what my favorite songs here have.

Lorde - Virgin
46

Definitely not my style of music but I can see why it's liked. Thought I'd listen anyways. Some production choices ruin it for me, however Shapeshifter adding real drums at the end is the reason it's the highest song for me. I'm not the target audience at the end of the day.

Kanye West - BULLY [June Sampler]
46

Just purely from a musical standpoint, this is kinda whatever. The second song has the skeleton of a good song. Obviously Kanye is bad.

Turnstile - GLOW ON
77

This score is lowkey low for how much I liked this record. There's just a few that tanked the score. But when it hits - it hits hard. Gonna be exploring Turnstile more.

Chris Stapleton - Starting Over
76

The title track is easily the best one, but Cold and You Should Probably Leave were up there too. Overall a good album, some aspects drag, mainly cause I'm not super country. But lots of good songwriting and musicianship.

Alec Benjamin - Narrated For You
48

Songwriting is decent but I can't get behind the style and his voice. It feels very "middle school." Some fine songs and others I'm okay with only hearing once.

twenty one pilots - Clancy
69

It has high points and low points for sure. I don't like the rapping, I do like the rock. Same old story with me. I like some pop elements and production but some is too much.

Angels & Airwaves - The Dream Walker
82

Different but good. I like the synth rock going on, while still sounding like signature AvA with the delay. Mmmmmm delay. A couple duds but a good album nonetheless.

Death Cab for Cutie - Asphalt Meadows
77

It's good, but those first two songs got this started pretty badly. The rest is good, a mix of classic DCFC and what they did on Kintsugi, which I love. Overall good, but I guess the weakest output I've heard from them so far.

Alkaline Trio - From Here To Infirmary
85

Someone said Matt needs to sing with more emotion and I agree. I think he did that more in blink. Still a great album, simple and short but packed full of good songs. Second Alkaline Trio listen so far.

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
48

Annoying voice. Some cool beats and whatnot but not really my kind of thing. Insane lyrics but some are funny. Some of the best parts aren't him.

Death Cab for Cutie - The Photo Album
83

Saved by the back half. Still pretty great, but it's clear that this is a Transatlanticism album. Some good songs I'll keep listening to and a few that I won't.

Tyler, The Creator - Flower Boy
67

Tyler's voice is lowkey the reason why I don't like some of this, but there's standouts. Frank Ocean and Rex Orange County features were my favorites. Pretty good album.

Ryan Beatty - Calico
78

Very vibey. A little one-note but it's still a nice listen

Band of Horses - Everything All The Time
86

Need to listen to more BoH. Their folky sound isn't always my thing but I really like the vocals and overall vibe.

Yuno Miles - YNX "EP"
55

I do know Miles. He cooked on some of these.

Silversun Pickups - Swoon
88

Probably not as good as their debut, but Swoon is still pretty solid overall. I just know I'd like it more if not for bro's voice.

Silversun Pickups - Carnavas
92

Finally listened. It's pretty fire. Vocals take a second to get used to, but I can appreciate them. Very cool instrumentals and a consistently good vibe.

Cherry Knot - Cherry Knot
70

A little rough at points but the opener and closer seal it as a solid EP. Big congrats to Cherry Knot!
