Gemitaiz - ELSEWHERE
76

Cavalcando la sua wave che si è costruito nell'ultimo periodo, come essere sempre "uno dei pochi rimasti" a fare l'hip-hop vero, e il suo obiettivo porta il concetto di questo album altrove (elsewhere) rispetto al panorama tipico della scena rap italiana moderna.

Diciamo che lo sforzo si è visto, portando molte tracce "conscious" e puramente rappate, cercando di ritornare al suo vecchio stile e capitalizzare su alcune sue vecchie canzoni per farne ... read more

In The Panchine - In The Panchine
85

CHE LO STILE IN THE PANCHINE SEMBRA CHE NON DEBBA MAI FINIRE

MACE - MĀYĀ
87

Album incredibile, nonostante nella seconda metà ci siano canzoni che a me personalmente non piacciono, quest'album è un miscuglio tra vari generi musicali, dando classiche hit, e canzoni più astratte, a tratto con elementi psichedelici. MACE ha trovato le persone giuste per rappresentare la sua visione e mostrare la landscape musicale di quest'album, parlo di ospiti come "centomilacarie", "Marco Castello" etc. Parlando invece è riuscito ... read more

Ernia - Gemelli
63

Sicuramente è da apprezzare la "sperimentazione musicale", nel senso che ha cercato di buttarsi in aree musicali che sono sempre state presenti nella sua musica, ma che in questo album esplora di più. Con questo intendo che si spinge un po' più verso il fare un album più cantato, quasi pop. Si vede che è per questo che non mi è piaciuto visto che io considero l'esecuzione dei ritornelli di Ernia la parte più debole di tutto il ... read more

Noyz Narcos - FUNNY GAMES
67

Un album un po' così dal Noyz... non c'è molto da dire, è solo che la qualità generale di tutto l'album è un po' bassa, la produzione è generica e non varia tutto sto gran ché... perchè si, non è che Noyz stia rappando male, il suo lavoro solido lo porta sempre, ma molte delle tracce sono state trattate come fossero filler e basta, non avendo tutto sto che di spessore ne un concetto, cioè non vengono ... read more

J. Cole - Born Sinner (Deluxe)
83

Including the deluxe, this album strangely remains his most... "overshadowed project"(?)

This project isn't talked about enough by the fanbase, despite having its iconic and well-established moments. How many rappers can boast of having an iconic, career-defining track immortalized on their album like "Let Nas Down"? That is, this was the first album that truly positioned J. Cole as a contender for the "rap crown." Throughout almost the entire project, Cole ... read more

Deftones - Around the Fur
90

I'm actually scared to approach a review like this, an album seen in such a celestial light and an essential listen for nu metal as a GENRE. I'm scared especially because this is pretty much my introduction to both nu metal albums and Deftones... even though I fully intend to listen to more of their discography (White Pony is next).

So, the only thing I will say is that after being in my rotation for a while and comparing the songs to other songs I listened to, too much of the genre ... read more

21 Savage & Metro Boomin - SAVAGE MODE II
81

21's most cinematic project, with various interludes and the consistently dynamic production of Metro Boomin. The songs and attitude have shaped 21 Savage's persona with the public, heavily focusing on street life and themes like loyalty, toxic relationships and opps... I suppose...

21 Savage - i am > i was
79

Very solid LP, it hits some nice emotional notes, and when it needs to go hard it does so. Even the features are unexpected and bring substance to the album. I just wish there weren't so many filler verses.

PostmodernHippie - 鬱
81

In actual length, it feels like it's much longer than a quarter of an hour, very cool in style and a good combination of instruments and sounds. I wouldn't mind listening to a project like this if it were longer.

Tame Impala - Currents
88

It seems very premature, no matter how many times you've listened to it, or how long you've listened to it, to try to review an album like this. Hell, I don't even know how to talk about it...

I won't go on too long; this album is remarkable. Using its own sound to describe the change in a person and in their life, truly like "Currents," the entire project feels alive, with its own pulse, touching on sounds that were quite new for the time, especially the ... read more

Caparezza - Orbit Orbit
89

Da quando sono fan è la prima volta di seguire il rollout di un album di Caparezza in maniera così centrata, seguendo la sua narrativa del fumetto, le sue uscite nelle sue interviste, lucca comics etc.
Non avendo mai ascoltato/recensito nessun progetto intero di Caparezza, ma da quello che posso dedurre, questo non è il classico album che mi sarei aspettato come suo tipico album (potrei anche sbagliarmi) ma è quello più centrato su una sorta di world-building ... read more

Playboi Carti - Whole Lotta Red
68

Bloated and devoid of any real substance, it's starting to sound more like an electronic/instrumental album than a hip-hop album... Despite its length, the project hasn't changed much in its sound either. This album obviously has some undeniable hits, and is equally influential, inspiring the entire "OPIUM" genre. Whether or not it's a genre with potential isn't for me to decide, even if the genre's major exponents have so far released projects of doubtful ... read more

Playboi Carti - Die Lit
86

For me, it's the pinnacle of everything Carti has created: outstanding production pieces, features that make the album very dynamic and different. At the time, it offered a complete spectrum of sound that had never been heard before, and it blew everyone away. A good compromise between the Carti who could say more than two different words in a row, and the Carti of today who can't, or when he does, is completely obscured by the beat, always carried by the production. You have to give ... read more

Playboi Carti - Playboi Carti
72

As for a debut mixtape... damn, it's a good project...
The Cash Carti that nostalgic listeners constantly praise, and frankly, that's fitting, had a great sound and a very distinctive persona.

Travis Scott - Days Before Rodeo
79

One step before the beast that is Rodeo, the idea was already there, a few tweaks shortly after made the difference needed to create a high-level album, nothing to take away from DBR.

Travis Scott - UTOPIA
85

Good verses, a good concept, and excellent production—a journey from start to finish. Not quite as explosive as Astroworld, but I don't mind the "Utopia-era" vibe...

Noyz Narcos - Non Dormire
88

Quanto me fa gode er Noyz su ste basi truci.

Per quello che vuole fare sto album spacca di brutto, ha una produzione che non c'ha proprio senso, tutto il Truceklan con ogni feature riesce ad aggiungere nuove prospettive a quello che il Noyz vuole comunicare. Descrivendo il suo pensiero, il disprezzo per la società, la mentalità del tempo... e de base l'odio per le guardie. Musica per spingere la propria comitiva e mostrare quanto è stata leggendaria. Un misto tra ... read more

Dave - The Boy Who Played the Harp
89

Listening to some tracks from the "We're All Alone in This Together" era in particular, I've always thought that, while Dave was capable of making "street" music at a high level, he had a particular gift for talking about "conscious stuff."

This album is practically the dream of anyone who would have liked to see him more in this stylistic vein. Among the heavier tracks, both lyrically and thematically, you can see how much these four years since his ... read more

Travis Scott - ASTROWORLD
87

The closest Travis has ever come to remaking "Rodeo," a very cohesive album, with mind-blowing production from musical titans like Mike Dean, Pharrell, Tame Impala, etc., and mostly memorable verses; even the weak points are "ok" songs. Very solid songs on all fronts, always well-constructed and thought out, ranging from party anthems to what, based on Travis's average music, can almost be considered "food for thought," which somehow create a sort of ... read more
