Not necessarily Nobu's best project, but far from a bad one. CHIMERA is definitely his best produced album, just I think the vocals have been more memorable on past projects like Iris. That said, there are plenty of great tracks on this project that I'll be revisiting plenty.

EDIT: this is Nobu's best project

Favorites: ANSWER, YOU, DIRTY, CASES, LONG GONE
Least favorite: SPINE

Man this shit is incredible. Different vocal styles, soft yet engaging production, and some unparalleled vibes can be found on this project.

Favorites: BETTERORWORSE, SOMEBODY (#1), DONDE NO ME AMAN, BREATHE

A bit inconsistent but I love the sound of this album, it’s a bit softer than what Nobu typically does, which I think turned out well.

Favorites: WAY BACK WHEN, TOO INVOLVED, COME READY, ENCOUNTERS, WHERE WAS U?

The album itself is already some of the better pop stuff I've heard in recent years, but this deluxe went 7/8 for me. So many good vibes and also some more introspective ones mixed in too.

Ranking:
1. HEAVEN
2. THOUSAND MILES
3. NIGHTS LIKE THIS PT 2
4. STICK WITH ME
5. PICK SIDES
6. GIRLS
7. BABY I'M BACK
8. HATRED (feat. Lil Yachty)

A bit exhausting (mainly to the fact that I don't think Sisterhood is too great) but this is still a great compilation of the most iconic era of Lucy's career thus far.

Favorites: Infinitude // Uroboros, I Am She Is We Are, How To Pretend, Mimosa, Altruism Kills, Sweet Pitcher, Lift Jump Exhale

Mindblowing. I can't pick favorites or least favorites. All three of these are absolutely incredible in every way. I wish there was more.

Holy SHIT this is hard. A bit repetitive but still I love it

While this isn't anything too memorable as a whole, How To Pretend is genuinely incredible, and it's still far from bad otherwise.

Rushed and forgettable. Not inherently bad, but there is absolutely nothing making me want to listen to this ever again.

Favorite: TITO SANTANA
Least favorite: one of them

Despite getting mumbly at times, this is still one of my favorite trap albums of 2025, with its consistency and ear-grabbing production.

Favorites: football, opaque, romania, i cut my eyes out, can't come back
Least favorite: more life

this is so fucking fire just too short

As a D1 Che glazer, I try to forget that this project exists.

Favorites: Busan, Badu, Call Me
Least favorite: Gah Damn

EDIT 2/10/26: 13 --> 62

I finally get it. Still far from perfect but there are plenty of bangers

Favorites: Ok Den, Sayso, Busan, Call Me
Least favorite: Gah Damn

So fucking fire. Not a single miss. This seriously might be the most one-of-a-kind trap album I've ever heard, and even though the sound is a bit repetitive, I still wish this was longer. This is Che's best project for me.

Favorites: bluberry bakwood, sol, sos
Least favorite: N/A (no misses)

hardddddddd

One of my favorite shoegaze albums I’ve ever heard. Her vocals contrast the production so cleanly and effortlessly.

Even though I think this is Amiri's weakest project since For The Better, it's still not even close to weak. I think this album's sound gets a bit repetitive, but the standouts (listed at the end of the review) are super strong. The samples are really nice, and they're probably the most memorable thing about this album.

Favorites: Paranoid, Hoes Mad, In & Out, Brick Brick (#1, this being on streaming changes lives), Code Red

DISCLAIMER: This review was written based on one listen, and rage albums specifically tend to grow on me with time (for example, REST IN BASS by Che was a 41 off first listen, and is now somewhere in the low 80s).

OsamaSon is probably the artist I've been listening to the most, and easily the most I've been listening to a rage artist. So, to find out that psykotic was dropping so soon after Jump Out, I was immediately half excited and half skeptical. OsamaSon is more than able to ... read more

Y'all is an album about polo, finding a sense of individuality, and simple love.

This is easily glaive's best work to date. To start, the sonic range of this album is incredibly diverse, from danceable songs like "Nouveau Riche," to rock songs like "Fuck," and even a tear-jerker like "Bennie & Kay," while glaive still maintains those lyrical themes that I mentioned before.

I was going to write a long review, but I don't have much else to say ... read more

RATING JUST BASED ON THE NEW SONG
(it's peak and my fav on the entire album)
