Pinned Review

Faye Webster - I Know I'm Funny haha
91
a topic of discussion about faye webster’s fourth album title - ‘i know i’m funny haha’ - is why webster included the “haha”. the term’s inclusion can be a subject of debate, as its necessity seems arguable. as it turns out, this "haha" term’s use proves completely essential in the context of the title track; when webster dryly wavers over the “haha”, there’s a slight twinge; suddenly the whole song gets turned around: ... read more

Tennis - Swimmer
100
‘swimmer’ thrives profoundly, as tennis form inclusive and welcoming music - timeless art - all while putting together this absolute classic. ‘swimmer’, as a project, delivers in detailed sense that many works merely promise; this album peacefully presents its own comforting style: rather than attempting to evoke (specific emotions from listeners), ‘swimmer’ instead offers. it offers the real, truthful feelings of creators alaina moore and patrick riley. ... read more
Vince Staples - Vince Staples
89
at its core, ‘vince staples’ deals with choices. the album is a reflection on grey areas and how vince chooses to handle his life.

whether a choice is about thugging, a production decision, showing new areas and emotions, being in the streets, etc. in any case, staples’ flattened attitude is devastatingly candid.

a previously hidden part of vince staples is not only present, it is at the forefront of the record. a new side of vince is shown via his introspective lyrics and ... read more

Rostam - Changephobia
87
the dreaminess present throughout this project is so diminished it almost appears drab. ‘changephobia’ feels faded throughout. this airy, arid sound makes the album feel impressively desolate at many points. a softer, and often times slower, version of rostam’s skilled production shows throughout his second solo record.

on ‘changephobia’, rostam uses different sounds than his earlier discographical entries, and he completely succeeds at creating fresh, hushed, ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST
98
for 'call me if you get lost’, tyler okonma frames his own perspective into an out-of-bounds, disparate product. tyler crafts against conventions, and his creations flourish as result.

‘call me if you get lost’ is tyler’s best rap album yet; while it is not street, not grimey, and it does not usually sound “hard”, ‘call me if you get lost’ may be tyler’s most efficient work thus far.

tyler projects typically have common denominators: each ... read more

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3000
93
my expectations for king gizzard and the lizard wizard are high and wide, yet i was completely shocked to hear their new endeavor ‘butterfly 3000’. i am taken aback by this album. this work is one of, if not the singular, most accessible album by king gizzard and the lizard wizard.

the surprise of ‘butterfly 3000’ brings one to a state of fascination. the group’s made the bold choice to not releasing any singles on gizz’s most poppy, single ready album. ... read more

THANK YOU !!

Hey thank you !!!! ( : 🖤 I will always say POiSON GiRLFRiEND (AKA Noriko) is the absolute best at the genre and still remains making profound contributions to this day! BUT RN !!!! geeeeez I've just recently discovered 'Walking Wounded' by Everthing But The Girl just a few days ago and I haven't been able to put it down at all. One of the most consistently fast trip records too? The tempos are all pretty speedy for the genre, but they don't come off that way a deal of the time which is probably why it really pops. I'm still working on a review for it right now, but that'd definitely be my recommendation today because I want others to experience the joy that record has given me the past week, and will continue to bring me in the future !!!

u seem pretty cool too hahaha, I'm new on the site so it's cool to read and discover someone's page with so much legacy. also took a glance at ur lastfm, how are we feeling on the upcoming Adrienne record ??? 🤯🔎

Hi! I'm making my first community list to celebrate my achievement of 100 followers. I was wondering what your 3 most underrated albums of all time and 3 most overrated albums of all time.

I have 53 (could change) AOTY users in this list. I also ask that you please give 1 album or artist recommendation. I will shout you when then the list is complete.
