While sparse interesting ideas peek out throughout What Could Possibly Go Wrong, nearly all of its runtime is too one-note of its gentrified sad-teenager pop made for Brockhampton fans. Fike's psuedo-deep lyricism doesn't help much either, especially when we wants to get cancelled to be out of the spotlight, for some reason.

Best Tracks - DOUBLE NEGATIVE

Worst Tracks - CANCEL ME

Blu's introspectively dense and thought-provoking verses of racial justice, tributes and homages to legendary black figures, and the story of success over Exile's soothing and ambitious production blending elements of jazz, latin, african, and sample interpolation make for one of the best rap albums of epic proportions.

Best Tracks - BLUE, WHEN THE GODS MEET, TRUE & LIVIN', MILES DAVIS, THE FEELING, MUSIC IS MY EVERYTHING, BRIGHT AS STARS, BLUE AS I CAN BE, YOU AIN'T NEVER BEEN BLUE, MILES ... read more

Folklore surely does follow the typical indie folk formula from it's quiet, spaced out production to give instruments and vocals a lot of room, it still holds itself strong throughout with Taylor's strong performance, solid songwriting, and overall satisfying cohesiveness.

Worst Tracks - CARDIGAN

With No ID as executive producer, Logic's final album sees him return to form in the best way possible, an album of quality boom bap filled with sticky production and solid writing that should've followed up his debut or The Incredible True Story.

Worst Tracks - PERFECT

Ultimate Success Today's dark and pessimistic tone parallels well with the pandemic's uncertain future, with Joe Casey's sharp songwriting and the overall consistent progression throughout the 10 tracks making it a cathartic experience.

Best Tracks - PROCESSED BY THE BOYS, I AM YOU NOW, JUNE 21ST, TRANQUILIZER, MODERN BUSINESS HAMMER, BRIDGE IN HAMMER, WORM IN HEAVEN

Worst Tracks - DAY WITHOUT END

Compared to the disaster that was Exeter earlier in the year, 333 is an improvement on all fronts for the most part, with its focus on the ethereal production much sharper and Bladee's signature autotune less obnoxious. While its quality could've been more consistent and ideas that could've been developed, the psychedelic cloudy nature still translates well.

Best Tracks - DON'T WORRY, HERO OF MY STORY 3STYLE3, 100s, MEAN GIRLS, NOBLEST STRIVE, EXSTASIA, ONLY ONE

Worst Tracks - FINDER

Oliver Tree's debut album shows that the majority of his appeal comes from his image, and not from his run-of-the-mill pop rock that seems too inspired by Twenty-One Pilots and Fall Out Boy.

Best Tracks - ME MYSELF & I, LET ME DOWN, HURT, I'M GONE

Worst Tracks - INTROSPECTIVE

None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive is filled to the brim with awful production and mixing choices that make it sound like it's from 2004, out of place features that add nothing to its music, and Skinner's rapping, or rambling for a better word is not only bad, but it also doesn't make any sense with its atrocious writing. From its first track to its last, it's at least an interestingly bad album.

Best Track - N/A

Worst Track - TAKE ME AS I AM

While the remixes of the beloved songs from 1000 gecs breathe new life with the creativity and unique reproduction, the album itself holds itself back in its own novelty.

Worst Tracks - 745 STICKY

While it may seem loaded with 21 tracks, including short interludes, Juice WRLD'S vision of his signature emo rap style translate extremely well enough for an honorable posthumous record.

Best Tracks - CONVERSATIONS, TITANIC, BAD ENERGY, RIGHTEOUS, TELL ME U LUV ME, FIGHTING DEMONS, MAN OF THE YEAR

Worst Tracks - LIFE'S A MESS

On Pop Smoke's first posthumous record, trades the harsh and menacing UK-Drill inspired energy that made Pop Smoke so unique, and instead gets replaced with the run-of-the-mill, one-note trap with little room to work with Pop's leftover recordings.

Best Tracks - AIM FOR THE MOON, FOR THE NIGHT, THE WOO, DIANA

Worst Tracks - WEST COAST SHIT

I kind of have nothing to say about this really, nothing surprisingly good, but nothing that isn't terrible, it sounds good, just kinda, really fucking boring.

Best Tracks - A REASON TO CELEBRATE, IF..., IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR?

Worst Tracks - MOMO

Jessie's fusion of dance pop and disco along with her strong performance makes it one of the more grooviest listens so far this year.

Worst Tracks - MIRAGE (DON'T STOP)

Haim returns with an album so grating on the ears with its over-produced redundancies and its weak writing that it's near impossible to listen to without falling asleep.

Worst Tracks - RIP THE SLIT

World is Yours contains such a passionate and powerful emotional potency that it's hard not to look away. Even in its short 20 minutes, it's able to capture your attention for the full ride.

Best Tracks - ALL TRACKS

Worst Tracks - N/A

While its glitchy composition can sound decent at times, it's calmer and ambient balladry seems more tangible than their bland splashes of misplaced midi keys and .wav files.

Best Tracks - THE CITY, CITY HELL

Worst Tracks - ROBERT

Bob Dylan returns with an hour and ten minutes of personal, engaging, and soothing songwriting that sounds like as if the listener and Bob are sitting on a porch that faces the nearby lake with a beer in hand while he bestows you his life experience.
