Bladee - 333
75

When bladee goes pop you know its gonna be a good time. "333" is bladee's most magical record. It's him going out of his comfort zone and embracing the worlds of pop. He mixes his usual cloud rap with art pop and makes something that feels ethereal. These songs are spacey and aloof, they bring a sense of euphoria whenever you listen. My one problem with this record is bladee himself. He is very hit or miss when it comes to the singing. Songs like "Wings in Motion" and ... read more

SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE - ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH
79

Hmmmmmm...? "ENTERTAINMENT, DEATH" is weird. It's nothing like I've ever heard before, and that's a good and bad thing. Good in the sense that it's very unique, but bad in the sense of it being not fleshed out in any capacity. The greatness of this record shines in the small cuts, making use of the time frame to engross the listener in its weird soundscapes. The longer cuts drag however. They put the sound at a disadvantage and make it feel like you're being led on to a vast ... read more

SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE - Hypnic Jerks
72

Like smoking a skittle. "Hypnic Jerks" is the first SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE record that feels substantial in some way. They adopt a pop sound this time around and it adds to the playful nature they developed in their previous releases. Even though I said that this record has substance, it's still less than I want it to be. Some songs feel to lose and unhinged, while others feel constrained in their sound. When they strike a balance though it gets really good. They understand how to make ... read more

Taylor Swift - Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition)
30

๐ŸŽต” I had a dream that I dated a racist prick, and I was getting tons of hate. So I got ice spice to validate me and make me look good, but in fact I made it worse. It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me”๐ŸŽต

The Avalanches - Wildflower
80

Pretty butterfly :) “ Wildflower” is The Avalanches anew. They take on a new sound that is more hip hop oriented. They brought on a bunch of collaborators to flesh out the incredible beats they made. I will never understand how they have such technical skills when it comes to the beats they make. The Avalanches always bring their best, even after all these years. This record feels wholesome and heartfelt, like a warm hug. “Wildflower” shows that The Avalanches will ... read more

The Voidz - Prophecy of the Dragon
85

They’re back and better than ever! This isn’t new territory for the voidz, but it does seem like somewhat of an evolution. This feels like the natural building off point for them, and I’m glad that they continue to impress. This just kicks ass.

Sufjan Stevens, Timo Andres & Conor Hanick - Reflections
60

These men are the power puff girls of mediocre classical music!!!!!

The Avalanches - Since I Left You
85

They know how to make a killer dance track. "Since I Left You" is a fantastically good time. This grooves so hard it's crazy, and the way these guys can sample anything and make it a hit is amazing to witness. The technical ability shown on this album is super impressive and mind blowing. They did such a fantastic job on all of these songs. They worked in different elements that usually never go together, and turn it into something so fun and bold. "Since I Left You" is a ... read more

redveil - learn 2 swim
80

redveil comes into his own on this one. "learn 2 swim" is a great showing of redveil's producing abilities. His production is increadible for being so young, and the creativity is there for all the beats. His rapping is good. It's not great or anything, he just sticks in his lane and rides it to the end. I do like that he's beginning to develop his own style instead of copying people like earl, that makes me hopeful that in the future he will fully evolve and become the incredible ... read more

Beyoncรฉ & Kendrick Lamar - AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM
90

Controversial opinion, Kendrick slayed harder than Beyoncé?!?!?!?!

M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.
92

An album so bathed in nostalgia it makes you look back on all aspects of your life, good and bad. "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" is M83's magnum opus. It's a high point in their discography that I don't think they'll ever reach again. This record is special to a lot of people and I can see why. It's one of the most magical albums I've ever heard, I mean if someone wanted me to describe the night sky as an album it would be this one, that's how magical it feels. Every step M83 takes to ... read more

KAYTRAMINร‰ - KAYTRAMINÉ
80

A great collab. "KAYTRAMINÉ" is a great showing of both these artist talents. KAYTRANDA kills it on the production side, making this record sound like a true summertime classic. He brings out the best in Aminé which makes this album that much more fun. The star of the show here is of course Aminé, and I think he did an excellent job. I see people saying that he brings the album down, but that's just not true, in fact he elevates the project with his charm and his ... read more

Lewis Capaldi - Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent
30

Lewis Capaldi? More like Lewis CRAPaldi!!!!!! (I'm not mentally well)

M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us
87

I WANNA BE HEALED! "Before the Dawn Heals Us" is M83 cranked up to 11. They take the dream pop they developed over their previous release and make it punch harder, feel dreamier, and develop an insane atmosphere. The vocals are more pronounced this time around too, only adding to the already incredible vibe. These tracks are so bombastic and in your face, they make you feel like your actually in the song itself. The lyrical content, while shallow, does allow the listener to paint ... read more

Jonas Brothers - The Album
20

They sure are brothers alright! (kill me now)

M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts
80

What a whimsical record. "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts" is where M83 really found their sound. Electronic, dreamy, synth-y, spacey, and beautiful. We go through varying degrees of shoegaze and dream pop as the album moves along, and very step of the way is more magical than the last. Now, this sound is still new for the band at this point so there are some rough spots, but in my opinion that adds to the charm of it. This is a record of brand new discoveries. It feels like ... read more

Run The Jewels - RTJ4
85

And when we needed them the most, they returned. "RTJ4" is the best example of RTJ political side. The lyrics are brutal, but honest. They paint a picture of this backwards country we live in. Other then the lyrics being the best they've written in years, it more RTJ. More killer beats, slick rapping, and crazy flows. It's a rehash of all the previous albums, which isn't a bad thing. I mean, who doesn't want more run the jewels? The legacy these 2 have made for themselves is nothing ... read more

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 3
87

So nice they did it thrice. "Run the Jewels 3" is more run the jewels. More charisma from EL-P and Killer Mike, more insane beats, and more political than ever. (I mean, this country is so messed up that they could drop at any time and the politics would make sense). I think that RTJ2 had better structure within its time frame, but I'm not complaining about more RTJ. What this album does so well is what made the other 2 work well, it never stops delivering bangers. This is more in ... read more

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 2
90

This blew the debut out of the water. "Run the Jewels 2" is so good I don't even know where to begin. I'll just say what I love about it. The beats are KILLER. They make me wanna break everything in my house, fix everything, then break it again! The rapping is out of this world. EL-P and Killer Mike harness their inner rap gods and go wild for this record. They're bars will have you questioning the political climate of America, then make you wonder what your favorite movie is. Their ... read more

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels
78

The beginning of a great duo. "Run the Jewels" is just a good time. It takes it easy and really hooks you in. The hooks are killer and the beats are fiery. The rapping from EL-P and Killer Mike is the standout to me. The chemistry is there, even for a first record. They work really well over the beats, bringing out the best in them. You can feel the hype radiating off these tracks because of how great EL-P and Killer Mike are at keeping up the energy. The one thing that throws me off ... read more
