A true masterpiece. The first post hip hop album in my eyes. The instrumentals, the lyrics, the energy… it’s beyond phenomenal.
RIP GROGGS
I literally cried when I heard this. How does her voice sound like it’s 1999-2001 again? Her soft and gentle, yet powerful voice gave me chills and sent me running to show my girlfriend.
I haven’t been huge on her recent albums but this…. This is one of the best songs in her whole discography. Rosalia fits perfectly here and the instrumental reminds me of a modern day vespertine. This is probably my favorite song of the year. I absolutely love this.
Update…. Ugh it’s kind of growing on me. Lol.
This is one of the worst Kanye songs I’ve ever heard. Generic beat, boring verses, sleepy kanye part with horribly lyrics.
I like the outro and I like the flow Kanye has for a second when he talks about scooter’s bitch and I think it’s kinda cool what Ty does with his part but man; this feels like it should’ve been left on the cutting room floor not the lead single.
Kanye would need something on the level of ... read more
I was expecting to still enjoy this without drums, instead these songs left me with a weird anxious feeling. Makes me really appreciate the original
The most personal rap album I’ve heard in years. This was a side of Danny, who is one of my favorite rappers of all time, that I’ve only ever seen glimpses of.
This man is so talented; I don’t think people realize how much talent it takes to be able to master his previous sound, then create this album in an entirely different style of rap and master it too. All while being a creative genius poet and tackling extremely difficult topics in a way that makes you feel like ... read more
Rating the scary hours 3 tracks only here. I don’t care what anyone says, these are the best drake songs to come out in this 2020 decade.
I heard a creativity and a passion in these songs that have been missing. The first two songs and the last song are all 90+ in my opinion, wick man and the J Cole one were the weakest here but even they had their place. The corny writing on these songs actually had some really funny lines that kept me smiling my whole listen.
My main complaint would ... read more
The song concepts, the writing, the production, the features, the cohesion… everything about this rap album was exceptional. I had never heard his music prior to this and I was blown away. I have been obsessing over songs like aggressive Steven, pigeonometry, mindful solutionism and living curfew since I heard them.
This is one of the best hip hop albums in this more conscious style that I’ve ever heard. He is a true wordsmith and really knows how to put an album together.
There ... read more
I grew up on Disney, but this don’t feel like Disney
The best AJR album. That is when it isn't trying to make the listener as miserable as possible to drag you down to Jack's level. It does this so often. The magic is not here. It feels like I am listening to pointless complaining from people too old to complain about what they are complaining about, then mentioning they are too old to complain, then proceeding to complain more. It is an agonizing cycle of them being miserable and then ... read more
A lot of really great moments, I love the cohesive vibe and the features we’re on par with her performance and added something new to the track list to break up the sameness.
The sameness was really apparent about halfway through, I think she would’ve really benefited by taking more sonic risks and maybe expanding her sound just a little bit. It kind of felt like she played it safe for commercial reasons; but it was still typical great pink pantheress; which is both the reason I ... read more
A more positive side to Billie that is less edgy, sonically brighter with a greater focus on a poppier sound that is easier to digest. I don’t think this is anywhere as interesting or consistent as her debut but there are some great tracks here and the song writing feels much more mature on songs like the title track and oxytocin.
Her voice is absolutely beautiful here, even with a more generic sound I still really love her presence and artistic vision.
The poetry, the delivery and the strip backed instrumentation (the acoustic guitar and harmonica)
intertwine to create one of the best blue-grass classics of all time.
This was me entry point to Bob, and in my opinion the best entry point in his discography. There are highlights on here such as don’t think twice and blowin in the wind, but none of these songs are anything less than amazing.
Metro improved so much since this album it’s kind of insane. There are a lot of classic trap bangers on here like 10 freaky girls and space cadet, but a lot of these songs are nowhere up to par with heroes and villains and come across as filler. A lot of the production feels very dated, but we get some amazing performances from gunna and thug and 21 that actually left me surprised. I think Travis Scott really underperforms pretty much anytime he pops up other than that brain-meltingly ... read more
A post hyper-pop masterpiece. Movies for guys is one of my favorite songs of the decade and the texture, songwriting, unique production choices and angsty spirit of this album is near-perfect.
I will probably be listening to songs off of Frailty like Kodak Moment and your clothes for the rest of my life, Jane gave us a classic with this album and proved herself to be one of the most creative artists working in music today.
I just don’t really get this. It hasn’t clicked for me and I hate it. I’m going to revisit it and see if it changes.
An abrasive shoegaze album that is obviously a masterpiece, but it’s just not for me. I respect it, and after many listens I see that it is great but the noise is just not appealing to me and the songwriting isn’t anything I can emotionally latch onto.
I enjoy several tracks quite a bit, such as the opener and idling somewhere; but outside of that ... read more
The beats are amazing as always, like, really fucking spectacular here. I was really feeling these instrumentals. The guests did their thing (especially Conway) and the vocal snippets were used perfectly on these songs.
The main issue I had with this was alchemist’s rapping. He had bars; but I don’t find his voice or his personality all that interesting and I spent a lot of his verses bored waiting for the feature. Which isn’t a great thing to last for the whole project. ... read more
Beautiful ! I love Christmas music and I love laufey. Made me feel like December came early tonight.
