imagine not liking this... birth pains of astral projection is simply flawless, the whole album is fresh and crazy. like if david lynch produced opeth
Laufey - Bewitched
77
an interesting fusion between mid-century pop, jazz, singer-songwriter and bossa nova
Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex
79
people saying this is generic/derivative rlly have to listen to generic music lol. i get it's not his best record but there are some pretty good highlights here (tightrope, harmony codex, scarecrow)

i don't know what expectations you guys are putting on him tbh

山下達郎 [Tatsuro Yamashita] - For You
87
What a delight of an album! The arrangements are lavish, impeccable and detailed, the production is immaculate. The songs are catchy and insanely well performed. Imo, for all its strengths, it's nearly impossible not to remember Steely Dan's Aja, even though the music is obviously different. The first half is basically perfect, while the second half is pretty good, but not mind-blowing. Overall, great.
McKinley Dixon - Beloved! Paradise! Jazz​!​?
86
This is great. The jazz instrumentals are never too much here, everything is sonically rich while accessible overall. The lyrics are pretty good too. Not a fan of Mezzanine Tippin' and The Story So Far is just ok, but all the other tracks are at least very good
