Starts off really strong but loses steam after the 7th song. Future sounds hungry, and I like that. I just wish some of his beat selection was a little better or that he had chosen some better colaborators on some songs. But as I said, the first part of this album is nice.
Best songs: KEEP IT BURNING, 712PM
Worst songs: VOODOO, MASSAGING ME
Not much can be said except that RestInPeace is unbelivable and the rest of the album is just kinda meh. Are there SOME highlights besides it? Yes, but not many. The eerie feel BONES music has is just cool but this isnt consitent as an album.
Best songs: RestInPeace, KeepTellingYourselfThat
Worst songs: Soil, Translucent
Lets star by listing positives. This is Drakes best produced album in the last few years. Drake´s lyrical bag is much more prominent and he sound ALIVE on some of these songs. For the tracklist.. its extremely bloated. This album really likes mid beat switches that just sound like 2 entirely separate songs that were just glued together. EVERY TIME the song feels a little stale and should just progress or something THERES A BEAT SWITCH. Then theres the actual lyrical content where Drake is ... read more
Who listened because of the cover?
Seriously one of the best covers oat imo. Music itself was also much better and more consistent than I expected. I expected CAD to be the only highlight but no. Yes it still is pretty bloated but that was expected. Runtime isnt too long. But as said some of the shorter songs dont have enough time to develop to be interesting enough. But it executes that dark atmosphere perfectly. Memphis rap is a cool subgenre. On last thing I noticed, the song names are ... read more
This is very hit or miss for me. Some songs just drag or have offputting lyrics. But the majority is really cool. The production and vocals especially. Some of the choruses and beats are genuinelly generational. The "Like That" sample really surprised me. Overall its cool, but as I said, it drags a little.
Best songs: Break da Law "95", Gotta Touch 'Em, Pt. 2
Worst songs: Porno Movie, All or Nothin
Bro how can someone even consider this a 3/10 album? For real this is the worst "serious" album from an artist that I have ever heard. The only slight "enjoyability" you can get from this comes from the first 2 semi-listenable songs and from the funny factor of the other songs. Bro you cant tell me that that production and vocals are serious. When Vultures 2 is genuinelly 10X better than this, you know you fucked up bad. Also, as it looks rn, some critics shouldnt be allowed ... read more
I can appriciate infulence but HOLY THIS IS DATED AF. Theres almost nothing i can enjoy about the production on most of the songs. And what did they do? They took this boring production and put some filler songs in there that have NO RAPPING ON THEM. Rakim´s rapping sounds solid so thats why I just dont understand why they emphesise the weakest part of this album. Also they just left in some empty parts without any rap that make some songs twice as long for no reason. You can tell cuz at ... read more
Some ukrainian indie rock band or idk. Was better than I expected. Nice melodies, singing was pretty good and the switch up in that one interlude to that more distorted style was really cool too. Unfortunately some filler tracks in the first half but def enjoyed!
Best songs: Зіниці, Крізь хаос
Worst songs: Горизонти, Не моє місто
Starts off nicely then gets boring very quickly after the 1st third. At least the ending is good again. Idk, Drake is an artist that def got potential for a 9/10 album if didnt make them all like 1 hour long and with a lot of filler tracks. Sure you can always skip the boring stuff but whats the point of putting it on the album then? The production is of very high quality and there are defenitely some bangers but its too bloated for a higher score.
Best songs: Furthest Thing, Tuscan ... read more
At first, I wasnt a fan of Painkillers vocals. But theyre actually fantastic. Production elements fit together nicely and the riffs are just crazy. Reminded me a lot of Youthanasia but with higher highs. There really isnt much negatives besides a few a lil dated songs. Also Painkiller is probably in the top 10 heavy metal song oat.
Best songs: Painkiller, A Touch of Evil
Worst songs: Leather Rebel, Metal Meltdown
Earl is such a interesting rapper. Mostly his selection of instrumentals combined with his original style of rapping. Anyways this is much similar to Live Love Laugh but a little more consistend and a lot more depressive. Other than the few really REALLY wierd songs i fw this album heavy.
Best songs: Azucar, Ontheway!
Worst songs: Peanut, Red Water
Discovery contains some really nice electronic instrumentals and is a very fun listen. Some of them I unfortunately didnt like that much. For example I found some of the songs rather repetetive or I didnt like the sample used. I didnt mind the singing and overall I´d say this is pretty good.
Best songs: Face To Face, Digital Love
Worst songs: Too Long, Something About Us
Filosofem is really similar to Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd and I´ll explain why. The actual aura around the album is much more powerfull than the actual musical quality. AHM has a really intriguing cover with the cow, the first song being almost half the album and more... A really interesting thing happens here. This might genuinely be one of the best covers of all time, AND it has a 25 minute song just sitting there in the middle of it. But then you actually listen to the whole thing ... read more
From what I understand Monster is an album that defined trap as a genre. Metro did a great job on the beats and Futures rapping fits them nicely. But there is a lot of filler on this album. I dont like some of the heavy autotune parts, Future sounds really wierd with it sometimes. Other than that, the highlights are certainly worth the listen. Even if bloated, Monster contains some of the best og trap out there.
Best songs: Codeine Crazy, Throw Away
Worst songs: Hardly, Showed Up
Its popular for a reason. Production is polished and the highlights are really good. But there is a few less interesting filler songs.
Best songs: SKELETONS, COFFEE BEAN
Worst songs: NC-17, WAKE UP
The first half is half solid, but the second one is just cringe and boring. The album has little going for it for such a long runtime. Features dont even sound like theyre trying.
Best songs: FPS, 8am in Charlotte
Worst songs: Gently, Members Only
Fun album to listen to. Beats are really good and they rap solid. The album lacks in the middle but other than that great listen.
Best songs: No Hands, Omnitrix
Worst songs: Ok, Where You From
Megadeth album made using a template probably. Idk bro this just isnt it. Every song felt like a song theyve already done but a lot worse. For example I am War is just Holy Wars but much worse. Dave´s vocals are ass on most songs and the writing is cringeworthy on a lot of these songs. Thankfully the Intro and Outro are pretty good. The Metallica cover is ok too.
Best songs: Tipping Point, The Last Note
Worst songs: I dont care, Let there be Shred
Albert and Einstein were cooking this production 😭✌️. Some of this was laughably bad. But Im not gonna act like this isnt review bombed to shit [for obvious reasons] it isnt that bad but it still isnt worth your time if you dont want to laugh at how bad some songs are. Diddy is a really bad rapper so not much going on lyrically. The production ranges from mid to complete ass. And the features are just.. wow.
Best songs: Best Friend, Journey Through the Life
