Decent 9-
It's message isn't said enough. What shocked me about this album was just how subtly sad it sounds. It has pretty much the perfect synth pop compositions too.
Fav Tracks: Orchestral Intro, Welcome To the World of the Plastic Beach, White Flag, Rhinestone Eyes, Stylo, Empire Ants, Glitter Freeze, Some Kind of Nature, On Melancholy Hill, Sweepstakes, Plastic Beach, To Binge, Cloud of Unknowing, Pirate Jet
Least Fav Tracks: Broken

I kind of get the hype. It's a pretty cool concept album about just using your creativity, though not every moment lands for me.
Fav Tracks: Ziltoidia Attaxx!!!!, Solar Winds, Hyperdrive, Color Your World, The Greys
Least Fav Tracks: N9

Some of the worst love songs ever. I get this soundtrack is a "concept", but there's no consequences shown in the "story" here. Absolutely nothing redeemable about this. How did MAC DEMARCO help make this???
Fav Tracks: N/A
Least Fav Tracks: Bohemian Trapsody, Lemon Drop

Is this ROOTIN TOOTIN?

Fav Tracks: The Sea, Jeremiah, Bells of Every Chapel, At the End of the Rainbow, Far Away Across the Sea, Why'd Ya Do It, In Dreams, Made Like That, Whispering Waltz
Least Fav Tracks: West Virginia Waltz

This is an album that has been pretty difficult for me to review. It's worst aspects are that it sounds simultaneously overproduced and underproduced. The best thing about Donda though is that it's one of the biggest musical tributes made from this decade. Shouts out to Dunkey.
Fav Tracks: God Breathed, Hurricane, Junya, Believe What I Say, 24, Moon, Keep My Spirit Alive, Jesus Lord, Lord I Need You, Come to Life, No Child Left Behind, Life Of The Party, ... read more
