JPEGMAFIA is my favorite rap artist and this is the first project of his I just can't glaze like I do his projects before unfortunately. Even with the good highlights of this album feels like it's creatively stagnant compared to his previous projects. His main flaw as an artist being his repetitive subject matter and repetitive flows were softened and entirely forgivable when he was giving memorable and insane/funny bars like he was on All My Heroes Are Cornballs and LP! Along with an ... read more

I've been sleeping hard as fuck on PinkPintheress oh my god I love this project so much. "Illegal" Is a perfect curtain opener to the album, even with it becoming a huge tiktok sound for a good few weeks this year I still really enjoyed hearing, this album is meant to be heard like 6 times in a row straight, every new listen you have a new thing to like about each main song. "Girl Like Me" Is perfect my favorite part is when the instrumental changes to some organic ... read more

Been in a complete review writer's block for months but when I finally get around to writing a full review it's gonna be long as fuck. I adore the album, I'm incredibly proud of Quadeca and am extremely excited to see what music he makes for the rest of his career.

A holistic uplifting pop experience with some serious dance highlights on it, it's Beyoncé what did you expect? I really like the 3 songs that open the album perfectly laying out how the album will be. "I'M THAT GIRL" is the 'I'm back bitch' statement piece, it feels like a welcome into the album's tone and atmosphere. "COZY" is honestly a near perfect pop song, the house beat behind the song is so fucking good and captivating. the chorus ... read more

Good time, good album. One of the most beloved pop albums of the 2010s in the music enjoyer sphere. I didnt love it as much as the others here though I guess. I'll talk about the highlights for me though. "Run Away With Me" is undeniable, plain and simple. The moment near the end of the song when the backing vocals match with the horns melody, nothing short of euphoric. "E•MO•TION" is an incredibly solid pop banger. Most of my opinions on the songs honestly ... read more

It's bad, though it's not the worst thing I've ever heard. I say that giving it one of my lowest ratings for an album, but I didn't really find the album hard to get through at all. Boring and uninspired is how I felt most of the time listening to the album.

The title track opener is only mediocre to me. I don't really get why people are saying it's the worst song on the album; it's easily the most generic and run-of-the-mill Muse song on here. ... read more

I'm so fatigued. This felt like the breaking point to me because 3 songs into the album I realized I just don't care anymore. I'll get to what I mean in the overall thoughts, so just a heads up, I didn't enjoy this album very much. This isn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but it's not far from the bottom rung.

"Algorithm" is the only song I felt most positive on; the intro does run a bit long, but I give it credit for being the one song that ... read more

Yeah, I didn't really like this one. Maybe it's the drier atmosphere or all the fucking gray ugly art around the singles and the album art itself; it's Muse trying to make something dark and profound. Particularly making a concept album that criticizes and details the destruction of zone warfare and how the U.S. military trains its soldiers and puts them into an environment where they become careless killing machines that destroy other people's lives under the guise of ... read more

The biggest mixed bag for me so far in terms of quality out of any Muse album. I assume coming into this that this would be Muse turning electronic because Madness is the only song I heard from it, the cover art gives that vibe, and because Drones is the 'We're going back to ROCK' album as a response to this one not receiving as much acclaim as the albums before this one. I was pretty dead wrong; there are like 3 songs I would say are electronic songs. Because of that, the album ... read more

Matt Bellamy really wanted to make a play ripping off 1984, but he decided to make an album instead. This is when the alleged downhill slope happens, and I honestly thought I would like this less and it would be my least favorite Muse album, but to me it does just edge it over "Showbiz," mainly because it feels like a much more complete album vision than the band's debut album. "Uprising" is one of the few songs I knew pretty well before getting into Muse. I think ... read more

The Journey of the martial arts fighting space cowboy as it was foretold. I think this is definitely a bounce back compared to the relatively lukewarm feelings I had on "Absolution". "Take A Bow" is the perfect opener for his album, introducing the spacey electronic adjacent first section of the album from this song to "Map Of The Problematique". The album is very well sequenced by the way it almost has like a 3 act structure. that first section being Act 1, ... read more

Got motivated to finally take a full listen after I went to a Queens Of The Stone Age (contender for best band name of all time, by the way) gig. As a band QOTSA is the only one that I became aware of when I became interested in music at all. I remember my best friend trying to show me songs, but unfortunately that was during Radiohead's reign of terror, where they were the only band I listened to because I was so obsessed. Then I heard "I Appear Missing," and I figured out this ... read more

Well here's one similarity to my Coldplay albums dive, One of the most praised albums from the band is slightly underwhelming to me. That album was A Rush Of Blood To The Head, and I guess it's Absolution for Muse. This feels like the band taking what makes them work and compromising in places that makes the music suffer and overall album suffer. But by all means, still a good album. "Apocalypse Please" is a pretty cool opener that lays out the change in production and style ... read more

All the potential that the band had from the start and showed through moments on "Showbiz" are on complete display in a twisted and spacier package than before, and it's fucking glorious. "New Born" is a fantastic opener that feels like a 'Hey, we aren't fucking around here' to the listener. It's messier, chunkier, and more passionate than anything they put onto their debut, and even with the messy part, it doesn't sound like a byproduct of the ... read more

This is a very loaded and not great decision for a first Beyoncé album, but I've heard it in full now, and I've got a lot of thoughts, most of them positive. I think if we're counting track numbers, this is the longest album I've listened to, a decent factor in why I had put off this listen for so long. Thankfully I can say that with how well every transition goes into the next and how a decent chunk are little 1-minute songs and interludes that help break up the ... read more

Alright so the Muse journey has started. My knowledge of Muse before becoming a Radiohead obsessive fan was pretty much all the radio hits and the few songs that would play in the grocery store, the main three I remember being Madness, Uprising, and Time Is Running Out. After becoming a Radiohead obsessive fan, I knew them as one of the Radiohead rip-off bands, but I knew they had a very dedicated fan base and also had genuinely great albums under their belt during the peak of the band's ... read more

Ranking the deluxe tracks all together

Listened to this in full in preparation for the Magdalena Bay concert I went to last night. I remember I actually tried to listen to this in full months ago but when I got Dawning of the Season I didn't think I was in the right mood for it, bad move by me cause this is another amazing album and has some of my top favorite Magdalen Bay songs. "Secrets (Your Fire)" has like 5 separate catchy things about it whether its the main melody, the chorus, "You think you know me, wanna ... read more

Yeah this is substantially better. I've made it to the final album of this Coldplay journey "Moon Music", a spiritual sequel to their previous album Music Of The Spheres but this one gives a more down to earth and fleshed out energy. It's mostly consistent in quality and feels like a self love and self help album for both the band and people who listen to it, and yeah I had a mostly decent time with it. My first listen I was being a bit unfair I think cause I kinda expecting ... read more

Man this coming right after "Everyday Life" is insane what the fuck happened. I already knew this was Coldplay's most hated album that they've made yet and yeah I see why...this really is just a confusing effort from them. It feels like the most rushed out and under-cooked album that they've made and almost feels like a quick course correction to make after their last album was the lowest selling album by the band to date, and the government mandated Coldplay Mega-Hit ... read more
