Justin Bieber - SWAG II
43

Maybe the real SWAG was the friends we made along the way…

As you may or may not have known, I was not a big fan of SWAG. Maybe it was the fact that I found it really boring and bloated, maybe it was because I was disappointed by the fact that it wasn’t Justin doing an embarrassing and incredibly outdated Trap album. The point is I was not really looking forward to, nor expected to enjoy its not highly anticipated sequel in any real meaningful way. So I was pleasantly surprised to ... read more

Matt Maltese - Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow
87

Just the cutest song about being the nastiest little freak for your significant other

Benson Boone - Mystical Magical
90

it’s not good, but I love it way too much. I think I’m really going to enjoy Benson’s continued presence within the pop music scene

KATSEYE - Gnarly
90

AOTY try not to HATE FUN challenge!!! (IMPOSSIBLE)

BTS - 작은 것들을 위한 시 [Boy With Luv]
100

My big hot take is that I think this is one of the greatest pop songs ever made

Joey Valence & Brae - HYPERYOUTH
100

Yup, that’s a 10/10, you’re seeing that right. “For Joey Valence & Brae?!” You may be wondering, well I’ll elaborate fully on why I find it to be a 10 later, I’d rather actually discuss the album first.

Despite being the duo’s 3rd album, HYPERYOUTH really feels like their first with a real unified idea behind it. That’s not to diss No Hands or Punk Tactics, they’re quality projects from what I’ve heard in their own right, but ... read more

SZA - Ctrl
90

It’s been a few months since I first listened to SOS and LANA, and I’ve been really into SZA since then, so it’s about time I finally got to SZA’s debut album.

I definitely enjoyed CTRL upon a first listen, but it took me a couple listens for it to really hit for me. I don’t wanna make like direct comparisons to SOS, but while I think it is overall stronger, CTRL’s much more of a ‘All Killer No Filler’ deal where even if it’s highs ... read more

Ado - 残夢 [Zanmu]
52

Yknow, as someone who used to be really into Ado before I really got into music, when I first saw the AOTY reviews before listening to the album I really wanted to go like “Man I can’t believe these reviewers are being so harsh, this album is just gonna be some decent little fun!”. Yeah well so much for that…

I’m gonna be so real with yall, this is barely an album, it feels more like a compilation than anything. Literally every track on here except for the opener ... read more

Hanumankind - Monsoon Season
78

Ever since Big Dawgs dropped and put Hanumankind on the map, I’ve been invested in Hanumankind’s career, because of both his generally unique rapping style, and also the fact that we don’t really have many big name Indians in the western music scene, let alone Indian Rappers. So I was intrigued going into this to see how he would be able to prove himself over a full length project.

Before I get into anything else, God damn the production is way better than it has any right to ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - DON'T TAP THE GLASS
92

Tyler watching people theorize about how DTTG is actually deeper than we think: I Thought You Wanted to Dance

Don’t Tap the Glass is the most recent album by Tyler the Creator, releasing not even a year after Chromakopia.

Now for those who don’t know, Tyler is like my favourite artists ever, so when this album was announced, and that it would only be dropping in a matter of days, I was really excited, and as it shows, I feel that excitement was adequately met.

Compared to his ... read more

Clipse - Let God Sort Em Out
98

After 16 year Hiatus, brothers Pusha T and Malice finally reunite, alongside long time collaborator and childhood friend Pharrell Williams, to produce Let God Sort Em Out.

Coming in to this, I wasn’t really the most familiar with either’s music. I’ve only listened to 3 Push songs up till then, though I’ve listened to them quite extensively, and I’m just entirely unfamiliar with Malice, so I wasn’t totally aware of what I’d be entering into save for ... read more

Alex Warren - You'll Be Alright, Kid
13

Don’t get me wrong, I really wanted to like album, I really did, and honestly it kinda makes me feel bad that I don’t like, but holy fuuuuck this sucked.

So Alex Warren, 2025’s big breakout star, snagging a number one hit that’s held the spot for currently 7 weeks now, with his song “Ordinary”. He released an album recently. I didn’t plan on listening to it initially, but my dear cousin wanted me to listen to it, so here we are.

Now before I shit on ... read more

Justin Bieber - SWAG
24

I was expecting a shitty and embarrassingly outdated trap album going in to this and somehow I was still disappointed.

Why is Bieber so popular. Like, for an artist who’s been popular basically my entire life, and is in like his 15th year of ongoing fame, for at least the last 10 I kinda struggle to see why he’s remained popular. For at least his first 3 albums I can understand, he started out as this teenage heartthrob that all the girls were obsessed with, only to slowly turn ... read more

MC Virgins - After the Party
97

I was gonna procrastinate a lil longer on this but MC Prophet recommended it to me a few days ago so I feel like it would be a disservice to the man not to lock in💔

Ok so, before I actually get into the review, I wanna do a quick recap of my history with the band and the lead up to this album, cuz to me that feels very important to my experience with this album.

Tbh, like most other people, I’d really only known the Virgins as the “Anime Thighs” guys, who made shitty ... read more

Lorde - Virgin
93

Score Change: 86 —> 93

Virgin is the 4th album by Kiwi Popstar Lorde.

Even for an artist who’s shown to never really be afraid to take risks artistically, Virgin is quite a departure for Lorde.

For one, Lorde ends up going basically full electronic on this album, which is kind of ironic considering the Folk Pop of her last record. While she has dabbled in Electropop before with some tracks on her first 2 albums, she’s never really full sent it like she has here, outside ... read more

Logan Hugueny-Clark - Undertale the Musical
100

AOTY Users lack a sense of Joy and Whimsy

Cardi B - WAP
100

I’m disappointed in AOTY because how is this not in the 80s minimum

Jamie Paige - BIRDBRAIN
95

Teto has been having a star making year and this is my absolute favourite song using her, Jaime the goat🔥
#Teto4Pres2028

Pink Floyd - The Wall
89

The Wall is the 9th Studio Album by Legendary English Rock Band Pink Floyd.

Within the realm of the concept album, I think there are very few records that are able to intersect the cross-section of Acclaim, Long Lasting Popularity, and Mass Consumer appeal the same way The Wall has, with only legends like Kendrick Lamar, The Beatles and even Pink Floyd themselves really being able to surpass it.

The Wall follows the story of a fictional Rockstar known as Pink, based off of both Roger Waters ... read more

Juicy J - Live and in Color
79

Live and In Colour is the most recent album by Logic and Juicy J, being a collaboration between the two artists

Now that we’re at the halfway point, it’s pretty safe to say, the 2020s have been a really interesting decade for Logic so far. From retiring in 2020 to almost immediately come out of it 2 years later, while also leaving Def Jam, and then subsequently drop his most critically acclaimed album with the long awaited Ultra 85. This year too, is posed to be his biggest, with ... read more

"@WaddleDee92 i forgot about this review 😭 I think I still stand on the score, it utterly fails in everything it’s going for to a horrific degree for me, but after some convos with people who like it, I don’t think I really stand on most of the actual things I said here"
On GarretW1797's review of Cardi B - WAP
"You also use this as an example to say how “pop culture is messed up these days” when WAP is an active outlier, there are very few to really no other pieces of modern media out there that both reached the levels of popularity and sexualness as WAP, it’s like pointing at Mortal Kombat and complaining about how video games are so violent. All in all, I feel this review lacks proper constructive criticism of the track, guises your more subjective thoughts as “objectively moral truth”. Hopefully you understand what I’m saying, and it gets across to you properly."
On GarretW1797's review of Cardi B - WAP
"I also think how you discuss sex as a topic, is quite prude. At points you kinda sound like those moral guardians of years past and present. You suggest making a separate billboard list for overtly sexual songs for “moral reasons”. You act like the concept of recreational sex is a great moral evil, and mention kids potentially being exposed to it, as A. if most minors could grasp what’s even being said in the song, And B. It’s the Internet’s responsibility to make it child friendly and not the parents to attempt to monitor what their child is viewing"
On GarretW1797's review of Cardi B - WAP
"As someone who loves this song, and considers it one of her all time favourites, I understand, what you’re saying about not enjoying it lyrically because you’re not a fan of blatantly/overtly sexual lyrics, i get that, i used to be the same for a long time. That being said, I disagree with this review a lot. I don’t like how you talk about the songwriting, it feels like you’re effectively looking down on the song just because it’s lyricism is very direct and it’s very directly on a topic you dislike. You’re effectively saying “this song’s lyrics are bad because it forces me to think about the fact this is about sex and they’re talking about having sex”."

"@joeydominice Apologies for replying so late, but it means a lot that you read through my whole yapfest of a review😭🙏. I didn’t really intend to outdo yours I just wanted to do something more in depth than my norm cuz this was a project I’ve been looking forward to since I first learnt about it, and I hadn’t really been so excited for an album since Chromakopia and Tyler is literally my favourite artist ever lmao so that’s saying a lot. Anyways I’m glad you enjoyed my review and I’ll def be on the lookout for the upcoming MVs, the music you guys drop next and any and all the potential solo ventures you guys do in future🙏"

"@yungfizzy I mean to be fair he hasn’t been doing it like Drake has, all Kendrick has done is like, the Canadian Tux, which might not even be an intentional shot at Drake, and the Super Bowl. Drakes just been acting like an obsessed ex who is “over her”."
On ephemerality's review of Drake - What Did I Miss?
"@yungfizzy Yeah it’s like a 4 for me, 5 if I’m really feeling generous, just sounds like another generic ass Drake song where he’s doing a lot of macho posturing, which I’ve never thought he could sell, and trying to reference the beef in the big 25 is kind of embarrassing, like just drop another diss track atp because it really seems like wants to"
