ITZY has been rather inconsistent musically throughout their career. In my opinion, all the girls are absolute stars and drop dead gorgeous. I just wish JYP marketed them more (along with their other groups)
Anyways, MOTTO is a very solid drop. The choreography of the self-titled lead single, along with the diverse production and catchy melodies, makes Motto one of their best drops in YEARS. Its great.
The other two full group tracks are solid. Not too notable but some glitch-pop esque ... read more
So really only 8 new songs, because two of them are interludes but it’s okay.
Let me say first off, LE SSERAFIM has been one of the most consistent groups musically since they debuted. They have put out quality music (maybe a few misses here and there but never a really bad song!)
But BOOMPALA came along and ruined that sentiment. My gawd. Boompala being the lead single is nefarious work. The Macarena sample, the obvious corporate pandering, and questionable song composition makes it ... read more
Maneesh on the beat, Shabang! π€
No more Mister Nice Man! I’m the Iceman now! π₯Ά
Dude got the worst cosign of all time too because of ts album title, oh ma gawd and he won’t say anything either.
No but this is uhm… i actually dont think its generationally bad like yall make it out to be, as there is a couple flashes of vintage Drake. The production is really good too to be honest and is the big saving grace of most of these tracks.
But man the lows are really low. ... read more
Eh.
An okay concept, i get the analogies and everything but just a failure to deliver on it the most part.
Am i the only one who finds it uncomfortable she has a childish like theme and uses a lot of hypersexual imagery on this? No? Ok just me.
Okay production, i thought the production at times was cool like on Nurse’s Office and High School Sweethearts.
Writing is the pinnacle and the rosseta stone for Hazbin Hotel writers.
Her performance felt lifeless and dull at times, with a ... read more
so i do really love the production of this project, and this man needs a BREAK SO BAD.
One glaring critique i have is the vocal performance is not jello like IGOR or smooth like Chroma, its more delivered weirdly than other Tyler projects, and to me its just a bit OFF.
Another thing is there is only ten tracks, and like three of them are EHHH I DONT KNOWWW.
BUT the production! I love the idea of it, would have loved to see a full fledged worked out EP like this from him! Just felt he needs a ... read more
Front to back, this album is very very incredible. Every song is memorable to a degree, and the production is immaculate with intention.
Drive Me Crazy and The Black Seminole are perfect tracks, and songs like The Zone and Paint the Sky are notable standouts as well. MY GOD he needs to drop more music like this, because he is miles better at this than rapping.
I will say however, a few critiques i have is there is some wasted potential on some tracks. Songs like Pretty and Running Out of Time ... read more
Really REALLY great debut for ITZY’s Yuna solo. I really love her voice, along with the sound and theme of the album. Her performance is present, alive, energetic and fits the music well.
The choreography for Ice Cream can be a BIT better in my opinion (just a thing for me) but its a really catchy dance to watch. Ice Cream is a great choice for the lead single, but any B side on here can get away with being the lead single.
Only criticism i have is the length, and the insertion of ... read more
So FINALLY, after a couple listens, i think its safe to say that this is possibly the best album of the 2020s, and one of the best ever.
A handful of perfect songs, Death & Romance is a INSANELY spectacle to listen to, along with Image.
This whole album sounds cinematic, every song is jaw droppingly good, its so so SO incredible.
THE PRODUCTION, THE VOCAL PERFORMANCE, THE WRITING IS INCREDIBLE.
DID I MENTION THE PRODUCTION?!?!
Every song is produced amazingly and gracefully with ... read more
Although for me, The Forever Story isn’t as replayable as other incredible, generational albums, i will still always adore the album because of how shockingly good it is.
JID technicality wise, might be one of the greatest rappers when it comes to purely rapping ability. This album shows that for sure. His cadence, flow, energy, overall delivery and lyricism are all superb.
From top to bottom, The Forever Story is a wonder to listen to, and never ever gets boring to put on, there are ... read more
give this man some water on florida flow π
SWOOPITDOWN WOBBLY WIGGLY WOBBLY WIGGLY WOAHHH
no but terribly mid, bland trap, boring features, good production though on a couple songs. But that’s expected from Travy Patty.
PBT would have been generational without πΊπΊπΊ on the track. Tyla my beloved you CARRIED.
21 gave nothing burger on Kick Out, Future π₯s on an okay trap cut, YB actually had a good feature, he gave energy.
Not acknowledging the others as they had equally ... read more
I’m unsure….
It’s definitely not as bad as people think it is, first listen judgers are crazy.
I think the second-half is WAY better than the first, but the writing is so bad in some of these tracks, like why are we talking about pulling up at someones block, YOU ARE KOREAN MY GUYS ππ«΅π½
The production is a highlight, and you can see some influence from many artists, but i really don’t know if im a fan of the genres’ being all over the place. I ... read more
A journey.
A glimpse within the mind of one of the best duos to do it. Introspective development from both on this.
Gut wrenchingly blissful to hear.
IGOR is one of the best albums ever made. Mind blowing productions, use of space and noise. The themes, plot and story of the project really sell it as well.
Tyler Okonma, you can retire any time you want, because you made this album.
A spectacle from top to bottom.
Michelle Zauner’s voice is angelic, flows really well with the instrumentation, and overall, the sound of this album is euphoric.
Jazzy, folk, and retro elements mixed into one, its hard to beat this one.
We are just speaking in terms of music.
No skips, Liquorice is one of the best songs ever.
Planet Her has aged really well actually. Whether that is due to the content being like fine wine or her descent from being a top dog, i dont know.
Insane replay value imo, and there is some classic, timeless bangers.
Much love.
People say this is his worst or towards the bottom and i don’t get it. I believe it’s his most engaging and entertaining project to date. Some of his best sounds are on here.
However it overstays its welcome. OCTANE gets worse as it sits in your eardrums in my case. The production is a highlight, along with Don’s performace. However, most of it glides without notable moments.
The start of the album had me thinking it was gonna be GENERATIONAL. But easily his best work to ... read more
I don’t need to explain.
Arguably his best.
Insightful, vulnerable, perspectively intriguing. A evolution from the greatest rapper of all time.
