Wallows - Model
77

A solid, summery indie-pop record. A good few highlights on here too.

Favourite: Calling After Me (8.5)
Least Favourite: You (Show Me Where My Time Went) (6.5)

salute - TRUE MAGIC
86

This just makes me wanna dance. Insane replay-ability. Some of these tracks have been on repeat for me since this album came out. Absolutely love it.

Clairo - Charm
84

So many good tracks on here. Love the jazz and soul influences in the instrumental. Her vocals are incredible, love the way they’re being mixed on here too. And super consistent.

Favourite: Juna (9)
Least Favourite: Nomad (8)

JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
88

Peggy just does not miss. Although not quite on the level of Scaring the Hoes or OFFLINE for me, it’s still an amazing listen that includes the those classic experimental and larger than life instrumentals were all used to from Peggy, while managing to include many more emotional and thoughtful moments than u expected going into this. Thoroughly enjoyed. Just wish he leaned into the rock aesthetic a little more (2 guitar solos on here is NOT ENOUGH!!! :) )

Joey Valence & Brae - NO HANDS
86

I absolutely love the energy that this album brings. There is not a dull, boring, or empty moment. It just packs a punch the whole way through, and it’s fantastic.

Favourite: LIKE A PUNK (9)
Least Favourite: INTERMISSION 2 (8)

57

Pretty mid tbh

Charli xcx - Brat and it's the same but there's three more songs so it's not
85

Love two of these three bonuses. While they wouldn’t have fit on the album, they are some of her best songs out there. Not crazy about hello goodbye though.

Favourite: Guess (8.5)
Least Favourite: Hello goodbye (7)

Charli xcx - BRAT
95

This is an incredible pop album full of energy, but it also manages to simultaneously say a lot more, with it getting extremely personal on songs like “I think about it all the time”, and “I might say something stupid”. Musically this thing rips; the electronic production on here grabs you and never lets you go, the best example of this being the insane development of “360” into “365”, the latter being one of my favourites from the album. It also ... read more

twenty one pilots - Clancy
80

I thought this was a really enjoyable project. Pretty much every song has at least one great moment, even if sometimes the rest of the song doesn’t grab me as much. First twenty one pilots album I’ve listened to and won’t be the last.

Favourite: Overcompensate (9)
Least Favourite: The Craving (Jenna’s Version) (6.5)

Justice - Hyperdrama
80

A really solid electronic album, with insane production and crazy basslines. So signature Justice really. The second half just grew a little stale for me.

Favourite: Neverender (9)
Least Favourite: Moonlight Rendez-vous (7)

Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
85

This album is fantastic, super atmospheric, and really consistent. There's no moment wasted. Also, production? Insane.

Favourite: CHIHIRO (9.5)
Least Favourite: BITTERSUITE (8)

TOOL - Lateralus
90

Practically impossible to bop your head to this thing, insane time signatures oh my

Dominic Fike - 14 minutes
55

A whole lot of nothing really. Found a couple of these songs catchy but the ones I enjoyed were just far too short really, and pretty unfinished.

Favourite: misses (7.5)
Least Favourite: to say to say (4)

Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She
65

I totally understand the appeal of this album, with how successful it is in creating an really strong atmosphere, but personally I find this lacking a bit of emotion vocally and instrumentally for the majority of the project, especially the second half.

Favourite: House of Self-Undoing (9)
Least Favourite: Salt (7)

Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism
62

The singles stand far out from the rest of the songs on here, and they aren't particularly great themselves. The second half particularly felt pretty bland, and quite the opposite of "radical". Can't see myself listening to this in full again, but I will return to some individual songs. A step down from Future Nostalgia.

Favourite: Houdini (8.5)
Least Favourite: Happy For You (5)

Kendrick Lamar - euphoria
95

IT'S JUST BIG HIM

Grande Mahogany - As Grande As
85

Super psychedelic, super funky, and super enjoyable. A fantastic debut album.

Favourite: Bop Your Head (Till It Drop!) (9)
Least Favourite: Garden Séfine (8)

J. Cole - Might Delete Later
38

Bro mentions “the fall off” so many times you’d think he fell off…

The definition of mid. In terms of instrumentals, there’s nothing on here that’s offensive, it’s just all incredibly generic and unmemorable, so it’s just fine. Cole also offers no versatility with his rapping, and I find him to be especially one dimensional on this project.

He also calls TPAB boring with one of the weakest “disses” I’ve ever heard, so ... read more
