twoxp - hurricane
80

Surprisingly high quality and something you wouldn't expect out of twoxp if you've heard Dreamcycle. However it still manages to retain the iconic cold and spacious atmosphere of the album.

Ghais Guevara - BlackBolshevik
78

This album slightly grew off of me in recent years, but it is still a very enjoyable listen and is kind of anthemic to communists (me).

Sayako - With Undying Love, And Chocolates
86

Consistently amazing production alongside surprisingly great non-traditional chord progressions make for a pretty interesting listen that really pulls you into the album's theming.

JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
70

Much more experimental than I thought, and it DOES go hard.

The soundscape Peggy is going for is clearly supposed to be an experimental wave of sound on each song, like a metallic fever dream. And it actually sounds like it, but instead of the rapping and production complimenting each other, they kind of drag each other down. I think this is mostly because of how much he's rapping throughout the album, which is a lot, and that much rapping could be good, but his flows have definitely ... read more

NMIXX - Heavy Serenade
60

Mostly a nice feel good album with some varying attempts at an interesting production. Lyrically also not super special, and the songwriting, like most k-pop EP's, is pretty bad. But the singing and team chemistry makes up for what the other departments lack.

Drake - ICEMAN
55

It's his best project since maybe More Life, but as a rap album it's nothing special and like always it's full of bloat.

I will say though, that this is also his corniest project to date.

"The Iceman was a niceman now I'm hot and cold" bars/obsidianman reference???

Charli xcx - Rock Music

This is the era where my goat falls off๐Ÿ’”

North West - N0rth4evr
45

it just feels super aight. nothing terribly noteworthy and the mixing is definitely a bit amateurish. it's fun in some moments though.

twoxp - dreamcycle
60

A bit scary and a little stress inducing at some parts. Felt concerned throughout the album experience, but in a somewhat good way.

tsubi club - trinket
78

Like a post-pandemic version of Nurture era Porter Robinson. Very fun and creative production all throughout.

underscores - U
95

After inventing "Sound" and then "Music" with her singles, April then invents what's called an "Album". Truly the innovator of our times.

LUNA - Free Somebody
80

Highlighted by great production and amazing vocals but held back by its extremely simple and mundane songwriting.

์œ ํ‚ค์นด [YUKIKA] - ์„œ์šธ์—ฌ์ž [SOUL LADY]
NR

Incredibly cohesive and everything a city pop album should strive for. Only a few low moments throughout.

Baby Keem - Ca$ino
82

Good moments but overall it's a lil bit strange

Charli xcx - Wuthering Heights
92

It's just absolute cinema

J. Cole - The Fall-Off
NR

J. Cole really disproves all the fraud allegations by dropping easily his best project to date, with amazing storytelling throughout. His flows come together seamlessly, and his lyrical prowess blends the stories of his life together into a very digestible package for the listener. Many songs really hit certain emotional depths, especially for those who have been fans of not just Cole, but hip-hop and its culture in whole, making for an experience that's very grounded in many people's ... read more

YOUNG POSSE - Growing Pain Pt1 : FREE
70

The first two songs could be generational bangers but the fall off right afterwards is crazy.

Rav - Beneath The Toxic Jungle
NR

This album would be a masterpiece, with perfect production, perfect flows and rapping, but just too much of the lyrics brings it down for me. You can clearly tell this album was made in 2015 with how they address subject matters depression and suicide by joking about it and kind of glorifying it which is just very cringey nowadays, though I do remember when it was cool to do so. Overall a great and amazing album, but very dated subject matter.
