Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising
91

Fuck man, I have been sleeping on this record. From what I heard about it, it is exactly what I was expecting, which usually is a bad thing, but damn this is the exact opposite. I have heard nothing but great things about this album, and now I have heard nothing but great things ON this album.

I have never heard a song like Movies ever. The closest thing I can relate it to is Spellling, but this came before that, so there really was no comparison for me to make (though I have not listened to ... read more

Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
65

This album is getting too much hate. It's not great, it might not even be that good, but it's not bad, and anyone who says it is bad has not listened to his latest work, which is MUCH worse.

On this album, Eminem makes HEAVY use of AI to bring back previous voices in his career, which is interesting. Not many artists have sounded so different over the years as Eminem, so it is interesting that he is able to do this.
Now does he do it well? Kind of...
In the song, Brand New Dance, ... read more

Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
78

Singing is great
Production is pretty good (derivative, yet diverse)
Songwriting is pretty good
Little talking speeches are pretty cringe (don't attack me)

A fun way to describe this album is by showing who I think could have made each song!

1 Femininomenon - Charli XCX with Olivia Rodrigo screaming
2 Red Wine Supernova - Charli XCX
3 After Midnight - EMOTION style Carly Rae Jepsen (literally sounds like Warm Blood)
4 Coffee - Lana Del Rey
5 Casual - Early Taylor Swift (like late ... read more

Don Toliver - HARDSTONE PSYCHO
39

The simplest way to describe this album is the product of if you gave an alien an hour to try to condense all of modern rage and trap into a bloated collection of tracks.

With most albums that can be deemed "bloated", there are usually some great songs and some bad songs, which can be skipped to your liking to create your custom album of choice.
However, this album falls into a different category of mid, one that, in my opinion, is worse than bloated. In this category, most, if not ... read more

Raveena - Where The Butterflies Go in the Rain
93

Every song on this album is so precisely produced. No section on any song is exactly like another, and those that seem repetitive at least have a great rhythm to them. While Raveena does not bring too many new lyrical ideas to this album (besides, they are mostly devotional and about love for people and nature), the way these ideas are performed through immersive vocals and traditional Hindu instrumentals allows new ways to experience them--arguably, one of the best ways to do ... read more

Charli xcx - BRAT
85

When treated just as a collection of tracks, this album can seem weaker than Charli's previous releases. Quite a few tracks on this album are either underproduced (at least relative to her usual sound) or even ditch the Hyperpop aesthetic entirely. A lot of the songs on this album have some message to the listener based on Charli's first-person experience, which most of the time is masked behind a classic Hyperpop instrumental with wacky and industrial sound effects. With trying to balance a ... read more

Ghostface Killah - Set The Tone (Guns & Roses)
55

Very Polarizing. Rarely on this album is there a mid track. They are either great, hardcore lyrics over classic Wu-Tang sounding beats, or they are phoned-in, sometimes overly horny anthems over cliche trap beats.

On Lil Wayne - Tha Carter VI
"Another part I would like to change is how great I thought the first few tracks were, and specifically how much credit I gave Wayne for his experimentation. They ALSO do not hit as hard on the second listen, and attempts at experimentation do not give him any free points. Wayne just sounds so uncomfotable on these tracks, and now having heard the rest of the album, it really changes how I approach the beginning. Changing my score from >6/10 to >4/10"
On Lil Wayne - Tha Carter VI
"Few changes on second listen: - The bad songs are still bad. No change of heart there - Peanuts 2 N Elephant is still enjoyable when not taken seriously, yet it doesn't hit as hard as when I first listened to it. I was in a busy area and I was not able to truly grasp how elementary the beat sounded. I was like "who is he getting this beat from?" and it turns out it's from Lin Manuel Fucking Miranda. That tells me all I need to know about the intentions of the beat. This wasn't some attempt at a cool experimental song as I assumed it was. Knowing LMM produced this shit makes me believe this was intended as a serious song, but the mixing and synth sound is horrible."
On Kendrick Lamar - GNX
"Bro am I stupid? How did I not get the theme of gloria? Anyway, no need for an update, pretty much agree on everything. I know a lot of people don't like gnx (the song) but I think the raw beat fits the whole idea of a posse cut, like how I would imagine Backseat freestyle would actually sound in real life"
On Kendrick Lamar - GNX
"For some reason didn't rate gloria, it is a 10/10"
On Tyler, The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA
"I would also like to add that I loved the themes of Take Your Mask Off. Wish I got to editing this review before it was too late"
