Virtual Riot - Sh*t's On F*re
69

This song is pretty weak and I'm not a huge fan of the hybrid trap approach, although it's still good outside of that.

Eliminate - Aura Farming
70

Honestly, this song's a little weak considering how good it could've been.

Virtual Riot - Burning Out
74

Unfortunately, a lot of the drops that (to me) feel like they should be huge just are a bit weak, as Virtual Riot's definitely Burning Out (super original, I know) in terms of creativity and sound design, but this album does have some very polished and overall insanely good tracks once you filter through all of the "just decent" stuff.

Mihal Lunar - Rain Dance
90

Definitely sounds like it would be on Tales of Afterglow, and I like it a lot. The chill approach is executed well through the slow tempo, simple drums, and somber instrumentation, and overall it's a great track.

Aphex Twin - Richard D. James Album
83

This album is basically what you'd come to expect of Aphex Twin; crazy breakbeats, weird instrumentation, and a very quirky atmosphere. A very polished attempt at doing what he does best: confusing me.

Weezer - Africa
73

No cover will ever be as good as the original (unless We Butter the Bread With Butter covers this song, which is highly unlikely), but this is still very solid.

Weezer - Weezer (Teal Album)
65

Is it literally just a cover album? Yes. Are all of the songs worse than the originals? Yes. I still like it though.

Weezer - Photograph
80

The vocals aren't that great in my opinion but the rest of the song is good.

Weezer - Hash Pipe
84

(Just rating Hash Pipe)
No clue why I like this song so much, but it's a banger and makes the album just that much better.

Weezer - Island in the Sun
81

Not the best from the album, but a solid song regardless.

Weezer - Weezer (Green Album)
84

As a first introduction to Weezer, a band I have long been procrastinating listening to, this album was great. It's nothing crazy innovative, but Weezer marks off all of the boxes on the checklist of a good album, and delivers a pretty solid rock album. I don't understand why Island in the Sun is so popular though.

GIMS - AIR FORCE BLANCHE
91

This song has grown on me a ton. While it's nothing too crazy, it's an extremely polished song where GIMS sticks to his guns really well. Once you get it in your head it's not going to come out for like a week.

GIMS - Cypher - Les Ultimes Marches De L'Empereur #1
50

Not only is this song insanely boring despite having a somewhat interesting beat for once, they didn't even try to hide the AI cover.

GIMS - Genkidama
53

Really boring and undercooked, even considering GIMS' standards, which is crazy since he's never been one for innovation.

GIMS - MUGANGA
48

Because I don't speak French, I have zero clue what the lyrics are supposed to be, so to my untrained American ears, this just sounds like boring slow slop. I'm sure the lyrics are deep or something but it's not like I know.

GIMS - DO YOU LOVE ME ?
90

GIMS actually did a really good job with this one, and even with how similar all of his stuff sounds, this one is pretty memorable. Good song to play soccer to.

GIMS - SENTIMENTAL
65

Again, GIMS has never been one to push any boundaries or do anything too crazy, but this song is still decent. A little underwhelming considering his average quality though.

GIMS - Soleil
70

Again, just like every other GIMS song, but it's still good.

GIMS - PARISIENNE
88

This may be nothing crazy or groundbreaking, but it’s catchy and had a nice relaxed vibe.

GIMS - APPELLE TA COPINE
93

Unbelievably catchy and honestly is really cool despite being somewhat uncreative in terms of structure and sound design.
