i was checking out the most popular songs rn and thought "that's so true" was pretty good, i checked the reception on the album and found it to be kinda low... i kinda see why now. i don't get why her other song "I love you, I'm sorry" is so damn popular...
but deluxe version-wise, i might just check out
idk
wait, i forgot to review this??
anyways, this is one of the most solid pop albums of this year. although it doesn't go out of its way to do something truly boundary breaking, it capitalizes on what makes pop music good, and does it justice
so, i made a small mistake when reviewing this originally, a few months ago
my rating was terribly off
i rated it too highly.
i feel like this song just doesn't have enough substance to be memorable
if i had a choice between listening to this album or drowning i would choose drowning
a pretty good album
honestly, folk music isn't a genre that i particularly enjoy. but, even though i don't enjoy the music more than others, i still cant deny the talent and dedication that went into making this album
this album is responsible for the rock obsession i have right now.
made me realize that there's a whole other world outside of pop and rap
now im obsessed :(
but yeah, this is a flawless album
at first i hated this song
now i only hate the chorus
would honestly by a 8.5+ if the chorus didn't exist...
but it exists... so...
low is a lot better, taking the average of both songs i would give it like a 35
dawn fm my beloved
ok so very interesting story, the weeknd was the first artist that actually made me INTERESTED in music. like i usually just listened to whatever shit was on the radio and stuff, but i was so obsessed with blinding lights during late 2021 that i activately listened to after hours... the first album i ever listened to, in depth. pretty crazy, right. anyways, right after i finished listening to after hours, i realized dawn fm was dropping. first time i was hyped for an album ... read more
i remember the days where i used to listen to this entire album from start to end.
yeah i don't know what i was thinking back then
but hey the songs are all great
even if some are significantly worse than others
am i the only person who finds this album to be quite unmemorable, other than the few standout tracks like stargazing, sicko mode, skeletons, can't say, and stop trying to be god? it's a good album, but i feel like rodeo and utopia were more groundbreaking in terms of their production style, which is obviously what travis is known for. this album screams "i want to be commercially successful" which is why i don't like this album as much.

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"
