honestly might be two of my favorite songs Clairo’s been involved in on first listen alone. absolutely adore this sound with her voice.

ambitious; production is pretty good across the board and when torrance gets into a pocket vocally it kinda works. but it is pretty hit or miss.

pretty and lowkey. cuz chum bucket was here.

really damn strong run of tracks from three to around seven, and the singles are also pretty decent. the record loses some steam halfway through and doesn’t quite stick the landing as a result; why’d she tack on the bruno mars duet at the end…

pretty strong first half but flounders in the second half. the cover art’s neat too.

whenever a overproduced pop girlie with the cleanest image tries to do the “i’m hard as fuck” schtick it always comes off to me like a fifteen year old rich white girl getting to make a rap song and music video about how dangerous she is for her birthday paid by her parents. also why the hell did she sample the chorus of kiss me? that song is still being played in every department/grocery store in existence. didn’t even flip it just took that shit for the sake of it.

while i wasn’t super impressed with her previous record, SALVATION kicks ass. Rebecca sounds great here, and the chaotic energy on most of the tracks here is not only catchy and infectious, but weighty and textured. Do You Even Think About Me? might be the strongest piece of this one for me; there’s plenty to love here.

mostly pretty sub standard current era “alt” pop. very grey, lacking in personality or unique charm. i liked revolving door quite a bit though. something about that one gave me a hint of something; its the reason i checked out the record in the first place. oh, well.

what if the two biggest rappers of a generation had a massive world shattering beef and then both dropped projects afterwards where they both allude to the beef but refuse to actually elaborate on anything that happened? and what if this one was bad most of the time because partynextdoor is a nothing presence on here and drake is so sleepy on most of the record. i liked approximately 6ix of the songs :) thank you drake please make a real album now thank you

this record rocks. was really craving a rap record with that lofi grit to it. hit at the perfect time for me. shoutout ben beal

this clicks with me far more than her previous work. still not incredibly for me but the style and voice is starting to peak through on this.

next time peggy picks up a guitar imma smack him with it.

bonus tracks are like 2 stars if i'm being generous.

average birthday experience with danny brown. introspective overload. still not used to his more eccentric voice lol

i’m really impressed by this record. i’d heard jay’s name a few times from nishith but wasn’t expecting something this polished and impactful. while i don’t think the concept is anything special inherently, jay really puts it to good use here and touches on quite a few topics in really potent ways. pretty well put together record. going to be following jay from here on out for sure.

the record that propelled queen bee to untouchable goddess status in the eyes of rabid pop culture was one where she lays her soul bare to witness in a moment of weakness. there’s definitely something to be said about that regarding christ and death & resurrection here, but outside of that, it’s a pretty great record. her journey of grief is powerful and compelling; formation is a lot of fun and a great closer :)

i’m starting to think i’m not a huge fan of this style of music. i can clearly tell mike is really talented, and the music on this record is good; there’s just nothing for me to grab onto and engage with and i can’t quite put my finger on why. maybe if i sat down and really dug into the writing of this thing as i listened, it’d click. dunno. sorry grace

have tried writing this review like five times and just keep regurgitating what marin said. it’s great, a worthy finale for the weeknd. in the second half it starts to blend together but it sticks the landing in the end. the new cover sucks though. i don’t like the text at all, and it breaks the conventions of the trilogy in ways that feel weird and unintentional. timeless ai is gross. it doesn’t have the standout highlight moments from dawn fm; feels more like after hours in ... read more

cole’s most focused and consistent record to date. he leans into his strengths here hard, and gets really close to making something great; his lack of a strong voice and vision do hold him back from that point.

really good for a first project. strong as hell atmosphere; Grace is clearly at her best with production at this stage and it carries an inconsistent, admittedly lackluster at times vocal performance. though there are still some vocal highlights, especially KEY.

a1th’s reintroduction ep is exactly what it should be: strong production, personality and an improvement in songwriting. the lyricism could be improved and there’s not exactly a lot to chew on but for a project with a considerable chunk comprised of throwaways from the upcoming album, there’s not too much to complain about here.
