Steve Lacy - Gemini Rights
92

Steve's best album, it got too mainstream an scared him away from releasing more music 😭

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
81

This album is massively outdated by today's standards and almost every song you are going to have this moment where you wince and think about all the progress that has been made in society since then, in saying that, it still pushes ideas and was massively influential to hip-hop and I would say society at large. If you listen to this album with the mindset of it being an early 2000s album, where society was at in the early 2000s and the context of who Eminem is as a person, this is a ... read more

JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
55

Pretty much all of his albums have grown on me but I have still enjoyed the majority of the songs, this is not the case with this album, there is some songs that I have tolerated but they all blend together with that signature flow he has not stopped using since 2023, he is talking about the same topics, with the same flow over nonsensical beats.

It sounds like he is phoning it in and it's devoid of any passion, I'm sure I'll come to enjoy some of it but man this hits hard as a ... read more

The Strokes - The New Abnormal
92

Have barely listened to the Strokes outside this album and their hits from other albums but man this album is brilliant.

The Adults Are Talking, Selfless and Ode to the Mets could very easily fit in the top 100 songs of this decade so far without question.

underscores - U
90

Music is lowkey the song of the year

Ninajirachi - I Love My Computer
90

I heard bits and pieces of this on the radio, especially on Triple J but only just sat down to listen this album around 8 months too late. Pleasantly surprised by this album and its immediately in the rotation.

Thundercat - Distracted
85

It has its flaws here or there but this album is just so damn groovy, the features carry the first half of the album but I still think the Thunderous Feline carries his own throughout. This album is not reinventing the wheel but almost a celebration of what you have come to expect.

Gorillaz - The Mountain
84

I felt unimaginably ill as the instrumental started for The Gods of Lying for whatever reason, this ruined part of the experience but this is a very unique album and I adored the Black Thought features throughout. It's nice to see something out of the box and and not so much reeling it in like Cracker Island.

The features from artists who have passed away brought upon unimaginable sadness.

Telenova - THE WARNING
85

Pleasantly surprised by this album, never heard of the band before and now I'm interested to see what they can make moving forward. So keen on this album I might go see them in May.

Favourite tracks: The Deep, VAPOR // SLOW DANCE, HEARTBEATS, WAITING FOR A MIRACLE.

Baby Keem - Ca$ino
80

Let’s go gambling 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Sam Sparro - Black and Gold
96

Generational song, if his other music had even remotely the same production he would be world touring to this day.

The Strokes - Angles
85

The Strokes love a fantastic opener and I would argue that only 'The New Abnormal' has a better album opener. This album is great from start to finish, the opening two tracks are excellent, track 3-4 feel formulaic in nature but are still good, 5-6 are another couple of fantastic songs then 7-9 go back to their trusted formula (not bad songs) before a great final track on track 10.

They follow this formula on almost every album.

BROCKHAMPTON - The Family
90

All good things come to an end and whilst this is completely different to the rest of their albums with it primarily being Kevin Abstract with sprinkles of bearface in between. KA really puts everything on the table and is deeply introspective going through the band's trajectory, the drama and all that came with it. This album is not as catchy, bold or frankly pleasing as their other projects but this album was for the people who followed and obsessed over the band for years and watched ... read more

BROCKHAMPTON - ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE
97

This album gave me false hope that BROCKHAMPTON were back in full swing and we were gonna get a new era of generational albums. Easily their most underrated album!

BROCKHAMPTON - GINGER
97

Following their previous album iridescence its clear the boy band were headed in a new direction and there is an aura of togetherness across this album. GINGER is underrated on the basis that SUGAR was such a massive hit for them but this whole album is beautiful and songs like DEARLY DEPARTED and VICTOR ROBERTS are timeless.

BROCKHAMPTON - iridescence
95

Following the departure of Ameer Vann and a cancelled album (PUPPY) nobody ever expected BROCKHAMPTON to carry on that momentum, whilst they never ended up reaching the heights of the SATURATION trilogy, they still managed to follow-up SATURATION III with a fantastic introspective experimental album that finds them reaching at this time an emotional peak, whilst it isn't infectious banger after infectious banger within the context of their rise and taking major blows this album ushered in ... read more

BROCKHAMPTON - SATURATION III
100

SATURATION III is BROCKHAMPTON at their most cohesive, they move like a hivemind on this album flowing off one another from start to finish. They figured everything here and every member still sounds so hungry, you have more confident appearances from JOBA and Bearface in this album to tie it all together as well.

We will never see a similar run like this from a rap group again, they truly caught lightning in a bottle with this trilogy. To release 3 albums of this quality in 189 days or just ... read more

BROCKHAMPTON - SATURATION
100

The chemistry on display on this album is even more impressive when you consider the fact that none of that chemistry was there on ALL-AMERICAN TRASH just a year prior. Endlessly replayable songs, infectious beats throughout, flowing chemistry that makes going from one member to another satisfying. You could tell they were having the time of their lives making this album and it shines throughout the album.

Genuinely one of the best performances from a group this large, this took over 2017 and ... read more

BROCKHAMPTON - ALL-AMERICAN TRASH
65

I genuinely don't know how they went from this mixtape to the SAT Trilogy in a year it is so damn impressive. Albert Gordon was kicked out(?) and Rodney Tenor (Michael Kirby) left on his own terms after this dropped and I think that was for the better, even though Rodney would have been fire on some later albums.

Kanye West - Graduation
98

This is 2000s commercial rap at it's absolute peak. Barry Bonds is one of the most underrated songs ever, it's a light-hearted brag-rap song and has some crazy bars, people take it too seriously.

Drunk and Hot Girls is outdated and has some of the most disgusting lyrics I have ever heard in a song outside of Greep's 'Holy, Holy. It is the only reason this album isn't perfect but the highs of this album more than carry a single dud in a 14-track album (including bonus).
