clipping.'s new album is a mixture of tight lyricism, huge societal criticism and a cyberpunkesque ambient. Its first part really involves you in the world they create, while the second part is just spitting bars. The production takes a backseat while being one of the strong suits in previous projects. A unique experience for the rap game

TMV were able to craft a masterful semi-abstract narrative while being bold, courageous and redefining Progressive Rock, while combining distinct genres.
Every part, every instrument distinguishes itself and has a part to shine, and everything is thrown to the wall and manages to just hit. Excellency

A really good idea with poor execution. The album starts with the (still) descent of the Weeknd character , which is a neat idea, that really goes nowhere or has a good resolution. It's really a album that stays still.
It gets boring really fast when you expect the huge buildup to go somewhere but ultimately just stays still

Made a really good post-humous album and then decides to die.
Maybe his most personal album, which makes you get closer to Mac, and then, ultimately, start to miss him when he's gone in the later part of the album.
Really respects the vision of the artist, while not being a cash-grab.
A album full of death, with a dead artist questioning death while being closer to death itself, is beautiful in a metaphysical way

Took the "Short" part, and made it bitter.

So that's what being an Incel looks like.

Lady Gaga's newest project is a mixture between contemporary pop and 30's jazz.
Long gone are the days of her eccentric attitude, and she really shows her growth as a singer.
Every music is unique, and the part that steals the show is the intrumental, of course, it's jazz. And in an album with Lady Gaga's protagonism, I expected her to play a bigger role. Yeah, she did her part, but some of the lyricism is lacking.
It's nostalgic and experimental.

It has a lot of build up that leads up to nothing.
I think it got a lot of pretentious moments and it really suffers from it.
The hits are generic, as you would expect, and they try to experiment with ambient tracks.
Can´t really get away from the fact that there's good instrumental moments, but Chris Martin destroys them. He isn't a good vocalist, and can't really sing.
It's a really barebones pop album with emoji titles, so that it can reach the TikTokers

Surprisingly great for an rising artist.
Focus on heavy things like the patriarchy, the feminine oppression and the empty feeling that comes with its acceptance.
Great vocal lines, and the instrumental really compliments her voice.
Just suffers from a lack of cacophonies.
If this is her first album, I'm really excited for her evolution.

Nothing worth exploring outside the singles. Decent production, abismal lyricism, bordering the absurd or cringe. The short of the album is a positive, but can really be a negative, making the tracks lead to nowhere, or not even building to anything at all. Can't really stand the country parts. Mediocre to the core.

Bad delivery and cringe lyrical content. A album that only exist to upset you. Fails to critique cancel culture. Lack of narrative coherency. Some of the features don't work, and the ones that do steal the Eminem's spotlight. Slim Shady's death is poorly handled and serves no purpose. Marshall and Slim Shady understand that they need each other, but he kills Shady (?), and the album continues afterward, with no reflection or difference.

Daring. Avant-garde. Chaotic. It's really successful at pulling off sound collage and incorporating what seems to be different and conflicting genres. A little trim on the album duration would do more good than harm, the latter parts are really unnecessary.

A unique mixture between Space Rock, Grunge and a little of existencial angst. Like a group of astronauts going to space full of hope, pandering their search and finding out there's nothing out there.
A substantial part of the album could be cut and the final product would be better off

Every riff, every solo, every growl, every soothing moment. Everything seems to fit. Every "chaotic" moment is wonderfully crafted. Every pay off is accompanied by a well deserved calming moment. Everything has a purpose

Death Metal never looked so soft before. Growls that come directly from the soul.

Cringe lyrics, bland song writing. It's Taylor Swift, what can you expect? Doesn't drive the world forward, doesn't try new things, same old, same old. You, at least, get a couple good chuckles out of the lyrics

Soen was able to construct an introspective album with a cool concept and great instrumental pieces. Severely lacks a pay off to a bunch of build-up moments and it just lingers between the calming moments and the moments before the storm, just right in the middle. Sure, the album itself climaxes with a great track, but the tracks, themselves, don't have a good pay off.
I can see the influences, but I don't see them wearing it as a title

A reminder that metal bands have a lot of soul. A beautiful resting place

I don't know if it isn't for me or if it is over hyped. There's a clear decline in quality in second half so it can't really be the prestige "10". It's decent enough and it's good to remind myself that EDM is still music

Nu-metal by the numbers. The albums seems a little repetitive because all the songs seem "samish". There's no outlier. Starts decent enough but it quickly tires you out.
