King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
100

The idea that this album was released 33 years before I was born completely baffles me.

In the Court of the Crimson King is a true, pioneering prog rock album. It holds absolutely nothing back, demands constant attention from the listener, stays utterly unpredictable from start to finish and grows on you with each listen.

Whilst it may not be a concept album, it still manages to paint clear visual imagery from song to song, letting the listener almost create their own story, potentially ... read more

Matt Maltese - Hers

Romantic and horny as fuck

Very easy on the ears, didn’t do anything that particularly stuck out to me, but it’s a lovely comfortable album to listen to.

He has managed to capture a bit of how I feel being in love would translate sonically, and you have to give some flowers for that.

Jaden - SYRE

“Man I’m artichokin’ man I’m artichokin’
I can’t breathe that’s the art of choking”

Production carries

Galdive - Blue
84

Tails off a bit in the last third in my opinion, however the quality on this LP is undeniable. Catchy, innovative production and gorgeous vocals

Strongly recommend

PinkPantheress - Fancy That
76

What is there to possibly complain about?

20 minutes of danceable, fun, joyful music. I’m so glad she’s mainstream cos it makes me happy that loads of people are gonna hear the songs on this mixtape.

I’m not quite decided if I think this is her best work, but it’s really pushing for it in my mind right now.

Literally had me smiling start to finish

Men I Trust - Equus Caballus
78

Yeah this is what I wanted.

Expected that the album would be pretty mediocre considering they have released 2 albums in such a short period of time. Absolutely blew my expectations away and they instead have delivered on the kind of sound that they nail every time.

The two albums do sound very distinctly different, and this to me hits all the right notes of where they thrive.

Classic Men I Trust, and I would argue this is the second best album in their catalogue FAIRLY confidently.

Car Seat Headrest - The Scholars

Kinda eh for a CSH project. But it’s still a CSH project

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 3
88

I am the living swipe right on the mic, I’m a slut

Vegyn - Blue Moon Safari
83

Yeah this was beautiful

God I fucking love electronic music

Tennis - Face Down In The Garden
48

Just kinda eh :(

Sadly I much prefer their older stuff, and this is a very disappointing final album

Run The Jewels - RTJ4
85

A great conclusion to one of the most mind blowing album runs in rap history

EI-P and Killer Mike bring it like usual, but there’s something about the year 2020 that makes this socio-political commentary more impactful than ever…

Samia - Bloodless
78

Yeah this is what I need from indie rock.

Gorgeous, catchy and addictive. I can’t stop listening

So much passion and care behind every moment that you can’t help but be moved.

Particular favourites are Dare, Bovine Excision and Hole in a Frame

Rejjie Snow - Dear Annie
45

Derivative and lacking identity. Unfortunately the identity it does have is a poor rapping performance that pretty heavily holds back some quite good instrumentals.

Points almost entirely for the production alone. Found the vocal parts kinda hard to get through.

d4vd - WITHERED
52

The guys got a great voice, and I enjoyed the album. Just think this was an inoffensive safe project that didn’t bring a lot to the table.

Few great tracks on here: Ghost, Crashing and Feel It (which does NOT belong on the album at all) come to mind specifically.

Overall pretty basic and eh. From a music lovers perspective I’m not excited at all by a listen to the album, but it’s undeniable that it’s very pleasant on the ears.

Jim Legxacy - homeless n*gga pop music

Great fun start to finish, really interesting sound that I don’t think is available from any other artist.

Super short and sweet, leaves you wanting more and now I can’t wait for the next album.

Great Grandpa - Patience, Moonbeam
74

Almost every day since this has released I find myself itching to listen to one or more of the songs on this record.

Perhaps not the most polished and perfect album I’ve heard this year, but one of the ones that has resonated with me the most.

For a more kind of standard indie rock album it takes some interesting musical twists and turns that you would not expect going into it.

My only nitpick really would be the consistency, some awesome highs occasionally surrounded by more ... read more

Very cute album. Super replayable and catchy, great features and feel good indie vibe

Skrillex - F*CK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT!! <3
78

Shadow wizard Skrillex gang, we love casting dubstep

This was like a weird nostalgic trip for me, I loved dubstep in my early teens and the creativity on this project really is off the charts. Short snappy tracks that don’t overstay their welcome and bring new things to the table each time.

Some cool features too! I particularly liked the direction the track Momentum took, very fun to listen to.

As much as I enjoyed this, I feel dubstep just unfortunately isn’t for me anymore. I ... read more

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85–92
100

Without Richard D James, most of the music I love the most may have never released.

And with Aphex Twin being ARGUABLY the most influential electronic music artist of all time, and definitely one of the
most influential musical artists period, I have to pay the highest respects to his best work.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a pioneering classic, filled with infinitely replayable electronic ambient tracks. Music to accompany almost any activity and any time of your life.

My journey with ... read more

Bon Iver - SABLE, fABLE
62

Emotional but lacking musical substance. A bit plain at the start but does pick up slightly on the second half.

I tried really hard to like this album, but I just have to say it’s very unmemorable. Unfortunate really because I feel like buried behind the monotony is some really good stuff.
