Pinned Review

Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl
48

Most identity-less until the final track, Swift’s twelfth studio album leaves a lot to be desired instrumentally and lyrically aside from the few positives which mostly felt like ripoffs of other hot artists working now.

The Fate of Ophelia
In general I find the backing instrumental pretty unhelpful, this could’ve been a really moving song with a little more percussion behind it. The writing in the second verse lost me and I find it laughable that “keep it one hundred” ... read more

Boards of Canada - Inferno
81

the atmosphere Boards of Canada create in their first LP in over a decade is impressive, and with incredible restraint they accomplish something both wildly satisfying yet somewhat hurtful to listener engagement due to its slow, often non-climactic ambitious 71-minute runtime.

FAVORITE TRACKS:
- Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan
- Blood In The Labyrinth
- Naraka
- Father And Son

Mitski - Nothing's About to Happen to Me
58

I had a lot of trouble finding anything to grasp, let alone hold onto, in Mitski’s eighth studio album. Ultimately I’m afraid I just do not fall in the demographic of people compelled by her songwriting, which I find lousy at times, and her voice has a frankly annoying cadence to it that I can’t shake.

FAVORITE TRACKS:
- Instead of Here
- In a Lake
- Dead Women (but only the second half)

grandson - Death Of An Optimist
87

A monumental debut LP with a lot to say from everyone’s favorite genre-defying angry Canadian.

FAVORITE TRACKS:
- WWIII
- We Did It!!!
- Welcome to Paradise

Towa Bird - Gentleman
70

Towa Bird clearly cracked the formula for viral-worthy genre hits but she doesn’t do enough in “Gentleman” to earn a 37-minute album. This would’ve worked better as an EP half as long that really leans on her strengths displayed in the first few songs and the closing track, not one that dwells on the battle between her soft vocals and the heavy instrumental behind it that really take away from the overall atmosphere and quality as a whole.

FAVORITE TRACKS:
- Dirty ... read more
