neffex was one of the artists that I listened to as a prepubescent child… ever since I started exploring music in 2022 my taste has shifted significantly. it’s nostalgic now but im ashamed at the same time for liking this before
neo-psychedelic music is probably one of my favorite genres, so it’s no surprise I liked this. some complaints were that the interludes weren’t that well executed and some tracks could have been left off. enjoyed everything else heavily. thought yachty’s voice was a little off putting at first but got used to it really quickly
out of the last 3 jack singles, this one's the worst. appreciate the energy they brought but unfortunately they brought nothing else.
ughhh i really wanted to like this project more than i had, but the quality wavers too much from track to track. maybe also because the highs on this album have spoiled me into expecting too much. i just can't find myself enjoying the project in an entire, uninterrupted listen. still quality, but i'm not coming back for the entire project, just the standouts
cool song. why does the intro sound like the four-count pharrell beat though
uhh... that was probably my album of the year so far
parannoul comes out with a banger experimental noise rock record that veers away from their typical, shoegazey esque sound that they've embodied throughout their musical journey. wish it was on spotify though.
Interscope really trying to compete with EA Games for greediest corporation
like its predecessor, this album is very inconsistent and bloated. the feature game here is insane, so many amazing verses and performances from abel, kendrick, and young thug, to name a few. additionally, i like how carti utilized his die lit voice and used a wider variety of beats, that was the biggest gripe i had with wlr. but again, five years in the making and at least 8-9 are lackluster? seriously? Really hope that he drops something better next time...
-> rated tracks = favorites
alpha's more nostalgic but beta's on another level. there's not much for me to say what has already been said by others. the highs are higher here, the tracklist is more consistant despite its 2 hour length. so much worldbuilding takes place within the music alone, and playing the game makes it that much more immersive. [still have to listen to last 6 tracks]
![青葉市子 [Ichiko Aoba] - Luminescent Creatures](https://cdn2.albumoftheyear.org/100x0/album/1020365-luminescent-creatures_163309.jpg)
the new ichiko project uses a fascinating blend of instrumentation which are not too derivative of any of her past works in any way. In sorts, it shows a parting of ways with her frequented usage of guitar indie-folk elements that I've loved in 0, and even throughout windswept adan. although experimentation usually pans out with a mix of hits and misses, i feel like ichiko, for the most part, sticks the landing. even after a week i still haven't been able to give this a full, ... read more

On peachxoxopeach's review of Magdalena Bay - Second Sleep / Star Eyes
"@peachxoxo I could see that. but at the same time, like, it’s very hard to be original. people before you have already talked about all the things you wanted to talk about, so what else are you supposed to really say about the music without coming off as pretentious. not much, really."

On Yellowslotcar's review of Mount Eerie - A Crow Looked at Me
"@Yellowslotcar huge respect for putting your opinion out. i do agree with many points you make about this work but i see this made not only for therapeutic relief for phil, but to also to help others that are overcoming death (which, of course, is the primary reason for it's critical acclaim and widespread praise. kind of similar to what ofelectricheat said). not to generate revenue. he's been making music ever since like the late 90's, so profit was probably (hopefully) not an incentive for him while releasing this to the world."

On JC99's review of Madvillain - Madvillainy
"as an abstract hip hop album, there really is no narrative. it's a snapshot of many different ideas into an amalgation of an album. there is no definitive or unifying factor that ties this album together.
as for the lyricism, i'm not sure if you paid attention to the whole thing. sure, some songs touch upon common ground for many topics adjacent to many other hip hop records. i'll give you that. but saying that the wordplay and lyricism is average? come on. if you search up any video highlighting all his rhyme schemes on any song, you would see how insane they really are. plus there are so many witty one-liners
i admire that you formed ur own opinion tho. it took me a full year of listening to this thing on and off to fully get it"
