sounds like a iyrtitl without the top notch lyricism and more of the r&b vibe sss4u had. overall, pretty good. not anything immensely special but its a great change of pace for drake
oh. maybe that's why they're in the preluxe.
the main issue with this preluxe is not so much the raw talent on display, but overall the lack of cohesion and direction. even other, high quality mixtapes have some sort of cohesion, whether that be the atmosphere, pacing, or themes. this checks off none of these boxes. i left feeling have gained nothing. i still have high hopes for the album, though.
definitely draws a ton of inspiration from carly rae, probably a lot more but im not well versed in 2010s pop honestly

fine. it isn't completely horrible, but seeing as it is made by AI... its pretty horrible
This album's vocals outshine the vast majority of music i've ever heard, and is quite literally one of the closest things one can get to being 'perfect' (stfu rolling stone). so passionate, rich, and avant-garde. If I didn't know it came out in 1994, nobody can convince me that that it came out 31 years ago. The bonus track adds another 10 points to the already almost-perfect score I would've given it.

dopamine is an incredibly fitting title for this album, it's almost like ear candy. except sometimes the sweetness overwhelms and numbs your ear buds a little from the monotony of the autotune. but still embodies how summer would probably sound like
only listened to the front half though
should I carve out two hours out of my day to listen to this project? heard it’s (arguably) her best work and I genuinely enjoyed the first 3 tracks + the 10 min version of all too well…

"i've never seen a top 3 with any of those songs before, but they're all so valid"
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"
