yeule - softscars
95
Where Glitch Princess saw Yeule processing their insecurities through hushed performances and uneasy ambiance, Softscars sees them dawning a new sense of bravado, no longer languishing due to their inner demons but is instead able to move forward in spite of them. The scars of their past haven’t fully healed, and Yeule doesn’t delude themselves into thinking they ever will. Yet, they sound more than confident with the life they lead and the person they are, with Softscars being a ... read more

Hakushi Hasegawa - 草木萌動 (Sōmoku hōdō)
82
This is glippy gloppy weirdo music and I'm all for it. Like shoutout to Hakushi Hasegawa for clearly being immensely musically talented and using those talents to make cartoon goofball music man this rocks.
George Clanton - Ooh Rap I Ya
88
Maybe one of the worst album titles of the year for some of its best pop tunes. Nostalgic to the maximum, George Clanton’s music is addictive, warm, and wildly charming. Sweet, personal songwriting meets anthemic instrumentals with enough synths to knock you right over. The amount of euphoria that is caused when the synths come roaring in on his choruses needs to be studied. Genuine dopamine overload bro I swear. I think the first half of the record is masterful, while the second half ... read more
billy woods & Kenny Segal - Maps
85
"The sunset in the desert, red glow, redness in the West, I sip Mexico's best slow. Mezcal Negroni, sittin' atop the corral smokin' watching unbroken wild ponies run wild at sundown" Bro what the fuuuuuuuuck.

He's actually one of the best rappers of all time cause who tf else writes like this and makes it sound so damn good. Add on Kenny Segal's intensely moody, intricately varied production and you've got a damn good abstract hip hop record.

Nas - Magic 3
87
Magic 3 seeks to wrap up Nas & Hit-Boy's unbelievable winning streak with a cinematic bow out, and it does all that and more. Goat shit 👑

I enjoyed Magic 2 quite a bit, but even I have to admit it felt more like a victory lap than a firm artistic step forward for the duo. That is to say, if you're like me and love the chemistry between Hit and Nas, then you'll have a fun time, but it's nothing unexpected or fresh from the two. As I see it, Magic 3 is that step forward, and it's one ... read more

Thirty Seconds to Mars - It's the End of the World, But It's a Beautiful Day
24
Wait a minute... so, you're telling me Jared Leto is a world-class weirdo, a sex pest, can't act, AND can't make good music? Man is a BUM! 😭😭
