I mean, I think that some aspects are better here than Posthumous Humiliation. For example, I think that the instrumentation is better here overall, and I think that the shorter run time makes it easier to digest and contributes to making it the more enjoyable listen. However, I think that the vocals here are less tolerable here than on their next album: the growling here hurts the songs more times than not. This was still an interesting listen nevertheless.

This was an album that I put off solely because of the cover. Now that I've actually listened to it, it isn't as bad as I expected, but I can't say that I enjoyed it as much as I thought I would. The instrumentation, for the most part, is actually really good, but it's the unintelligible growling that drags this album down for me: I genuinely don't know if he's actually saying words or not. Granted, this is my first time listening to a proper death metal album, so I kinda threw myself into the ... read more
In all honesty, I didn't expect to like this this much. Julia Jacklin delivers one of the most beautiful and emotional albums of the year so far. Also, it is by far one of the most enjoyable records of the year so far. With each track, it left me excited to hear what else she was going to give, and whilst not all tracks on here were as good as others, it was overall a great album with nothing but good songs.

King Of Everything is a pretty good follow up to Cloud Factory and pretty much improves on the things that I didn't like about that album. This album is definitely the more memorable one of the two and is overall more interesting and intriguing. Furthermore, I do think that the quality was more consistent with this record. However, I do have to mention the fact that this did get a bit boring about half-way through, but it picked up again.

Cloud Factory is a pretty good first LP from Jinjer, but I can't say that I care for it too much. It has all-round great instrumentation and good vocals, but this is just so forgettable. I do think that it fell apart in the latter half of the album; track 6 pretty much completely lost my attention and I did not care for the last two songs in the slightest. However, the first five songs all ranged from just good to a couple of great tracks that actually surprised me.

Re-review:
This album suffers from being released at the worst time imaginable. It came out just a year after the amazing Meddle, and a year before the highly influential Dark Side Of The Moon. As a result, no one really looks at this album too fondly, and some (myself included) often forget of its existence. As it is just another soundtrack album, the second and last one, it is just another inessential moment in their career. However, this one does bring more to the table than More did.

Re-review:
I was way too generous with this album first time round. This is by far the most forgettable and inessential album in Pink Floyd's entire career.
This is the first official album released by the band after the departure of Syd Barrett. As a result, this does have *some* of that Syd Barrett sound from the '60s. It's clear that with this album they were more just trying to replicate their early successes with Syd, but did so so poorly that they ended up making one of the most boring ... read more
Whilst nothing here compares to the golden years of Pink Floyd, I still think this is a severely underrated Pink Floyd album. This was, for the most part, an extremely enjoyable listen and a beautiful experience. There really isn't much to complain about.
However, I do think that it did drag slightly in the middle: I did end up zoning out for a couple of songs. But that doesn't change the fact that this was still a really good listen.

A fairly decent debut EP for Billie Eilish with not much bad about it. However, it isn't all that memorable and doesn't leave the listener with anything they would want to come back to.

I still don't know what I expected from this. Lil Pump somehow managed to make this even more boring than his first album. Like his debut album, it's much more enjoyable when you just zone out and don't pay attention. However, some of the lyrics on here are really fucking funny.

I don't know what I expected from this. I mean, it's kinda fun if you zone out and don't pay attention, I guess? All I can say is that Lil Pump is a terrible lyricist and most of the songs are extremely boring. Like I said, when I zoned out of the album some songs became more tolerable, but it was an awful listen for the most part.

This album is so unsettling. I mean, this thing is so creepy that it sounds like it would be perfect as a soundtrack for an imagery-heavy horror movie with an incoherent story. Despite how scary I thought this album was, I can't say I didn't like it.
However, this is far from the best or most enjoyable experimental record I've ever heard, and I doubt I will be coming back to this one as much as some others. This is also nowhere near the most entertaining album released this year, but it's still ... read more
This is definitely one of Pink Floyd's weakest albums. I think this proves that without Roger Waters, the band was almost incapable of making anything good.
I say almost incapable because there are a couple of tracks on here that are actually great. I would even go as far as to say that the entire first half of this album is actually pretty damn good. Unfortunately, after the mid-way point, it does start to fall apart. Songs like Yet Another Movie and Terminal Frost are so goddamn boring and ... read more
This is Death Grips at their rawest. There are quite a few great songs on here, but I have to be honest when I say that this is probably one of their weakest albums. It is amazing as a debut album, but in comparison to their future work, this isn't all that memorable. Like I said before, there are quite a few songs that really show the potential the band had and would later show off, but this is far from their greatest work.

I have to be honest, this is a decent album. There really isn't too many bad songs on here. However, I do think it's insulting that this is under the Pink Floyd name when this is more of a Roger Waters solo project more than anything. The fact that it is Roger Waters own album isn't what makes it worse than their other work, it's the fact that it has a severe lack of most of the other members. I mean, this album is like 46 minutes of Roger Waters and about 2 minutes of any other member.

Re-review:
Everyone says one of two things about this album: they either say that this was Floyd's greatest accomplishment up to this point in time (some even go as far as to say that this is their best album, which is very, very wrong), or they say that this is one of, if not, their worst projects to date. Personally, I did used to think that this was one of their weaker projects, and while it still isn't my favourite, I do like it a lot more.

Wait, what the fuck? Well, I guess I'm now apart of the based Ummagumma > Piper group, because the unexpected happened. I have not listened to this album since my initial listen. Other than The Endless River, this is the ONLY Floyd album I haven't bothered ever returning to. And who would blame me? Fans and haters of Floyd alike all agree that this is by far their worst album musically. Even the members of the band themselves rarely even acknowledge this album's existence. This is ... read more
Whilst there are some bangers on here, Invasion Of Privacy is a basic and overall mediocre record. There isn't really anything to despise here, but there are a lot of tracks that are just boring, and some that verge on unlistenable. Furthermore, a lot of these lyrics are so bad that I genuinely don't know if Cardi B is wanting to be taken seriously or not.
However, this is far from the worst trap rap album I've ever heard. Like I said before, there are some tracks that are actually ... read more
This was a strong contender for the best Death Grips album: in some aspects, I would say it beats Bottomless Pit and The Money Store. However, there are a few really forgettable tracks on here that really bring down the score. Overall, though, this is an amazing album, one of the best in Death Grips' discography, and certainly worth a listen.

Bottomless Pit is Death Grips' most brutal and is, dare I say, their best album yet (I know, it's hard to say when The Money Store exists). I don't know what exactly it is, but something about this album clicked with me much more than TMS.
To be honest, it's most likely to do with the fact that I adored every single track on here. Whereas TMS had one or two tracks that I just didn't like, even though there were a couple songs that didn't work as well as others on here, I absolutely loved every ... read more
