This is not exactly my type of experimental music, mainly because for the first 5 songs of this album there is mostly ambience and not as much rhythm. After Zig Zag, however, this album picked up the pace and delivered. I’m just sad that its first half wasn’t as consistent.
Two great political rap / rock albums within a few weeks of each other is crazy. First genesis Owusu, now Vince Staples.
“Cry Baby” doesn’t blow me away, but once it finishes you can see that it is quite a beautiful thing in its entirety. Not too tame, not too preachy, just the right album we needed this year.
Coming back to a forgotten album from my very early music days was not something I was expecting to do, I barely even remember a song on this album. Interesting to see the way things progressed, at least
TAME IMPALA DISCOGRAPHY RUN:
His 3rd Album: CURRENTS
This is a collection of beautiful, ethereal soundscapes that can be played individually or all together, still conveying the same dreamy vibe. Some tracks make you bang your head, some chill you out, and all together they make one of the greatest blockbuster alt-rock records of the century.
A fun album from Peggy that doesn’t try too hard and instead tries a little too much. Many of the less-than-two minute songs could have easily been left off, but there is a decent amount of great music being gifted to us by the 2020s most controversial veteran.
I’m not even counting Jimmy Cooks as a song on this album, we can tell he just wanted to make a boring r&b album but needed a banger for the streams
Very, very, very boring, repetitive and forgettable. Overall, it doesn’t strike you as bad, it just puts you to sleep. I’m not even joking, I found myself slumped over half-awake for the entirety of tracks 9 - 13.
A somehow very underrated album that serves as a blockbuster anthology of Travis Scott’s many abilities.
*WILL RATE WHEN I FULLY LISTEN*
Don toliver has officially crossed the threshold from experimental / underground / creative to now being just plain old formulaic. Long, sleepy, sloppy and uninspired.
This guy, Matt proxy, protect, skeletrix and slayr are my freshman class
Very well done, scrapbook sounding debut
I love Peggy and I am hyped for this album, but these singles just don’t have much to offer. They are short with production that is not his best and lyrics that just don’t work with me. I can tell that this is going to be very different from something like ILDMLFY, and I just don’t know if he’ll pull it off.
(Just kidding I know he will)
Remember the cloud rap kid who made Alternative Trap? He’s totally different now, but still good.
For some reason, I really love Lucki’s new music. This album is chill and fun. It’s not great, but it’s dreamy and there’s not much to hate about it except for the fact that most of the bonus tracks and daysb4bad songs are better than half the album.
A great jazz rap record, I just don’t come back to it nearly as much as others in its genre.
Though I would have loved to hear more of what we heard on “Stampede,” “The Worldwide Scourge” and “One4All,” this album’s versatility and effective commentary make it so consistently enjoyable. Though at times it can be a little sleepy, this is still a great spectacle of a record.
Nowhere near as bad as people say. A handful of great tracks, a handful of mid / bad ones. It’s alright.
