Jane needs to stop!!!! she has been on a tear where for like the few years she releases album of the year candidates. It's consistently pogressive for her career and she improves as she goes. I look like an obsessive person with how often I rate her albums so highly. It's her fault for continuing to release bangers.

Bladee - Sulfur Surfer
50

It's a bladee album. It has moments that the production with the vocalisation is cool but at times it's just too experimental. Most interesting production I heard on a bladee album.

JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
50

I feel like this album just as music itself isn't very listenable. It's close to noise pollution at points. peggy is a very compotent rapper though and makes things work. He is very profound and has a lot of meaning on the album I just think it doesn't land on the replay value. which is fine if he knowss this is difficult to listen and engage with. But he also use a lot of heavy samples like lights where aspects are clear it is looking for that mainstream appeal which would help ... read more

Drake - MAID OF HONOUR
30

Started strong with the first two songs that were entertaining and good, but slowly went downhill from there. Some comically terrible songs that are at least interesting to listen to but after amazing shape it starts to drag and lose its fun party vibe. I'd rather this be risky with dance tracks that fails forward than it lose its identity and get boring.

Drake - HABIBTI
55

Again I feel this is overhated. It is more boring and less engaging than iceman where the highs of iceman is better but nothing is particularly offensive on this album. Highlights of it are Slap the city, High fives, classic and Fortworth. But the rest is still relaxing where if you want music in the background that can be tuned out it's a good album for that. The highlights are songs that can be listneed more often and engaged with though.

Drake - ICEMAN
65

I think this album is a bit overhated. It doesn't start strong but then the middle of the album is incredibly entertaining and catchy. It teeters off at the end as well but its a good album.

Madison Beer - locket
65

Uninspiring pop with some standout tracks. Lead by the 2 year rollout of make you mine.

Lykke Li - The Afterparty
60

They're all pleasant but they sound the same structure wise where I really liked happy now and the others just couldn't build on that

CORTIS - GREENGREEN
40

Pretty bad, but redred and wassup save it from being a catastrophe

glaive - God Save The Three
55

Pretty meh. A few stand outs but the rest are nothing to write home about. The band is pretty cool.

underscores - U
80

Listening to the higher rated user albums like slaytter and tiffany day I noticed how well underscore does an electropop album. It's energetic, knows what it is and who is performing it. It is better than the other two with higher highs and no lows. Also more complex with slower songs that really emphasize that

Tiffany Day - HALO
75

It is vibey EDM pop. I appreciate that songs exploring falling in love is slower with a drop that feels like a breakthrough and then the production becomes more aggressive and hyperpop-y when there is the fallout of the relationship. It doesn't feel revolutionary or unique lyrically or production wise but it is catchy and enjoyable. I think the overall album is around the 75-85 rating range but I feel like 75 is fair compared to other albums I've heard this year.

Slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA
70

While the album has pretty shallow lyrical content it more compensates with the production and vibes of the album. It's so clearly influenced by 2010 pop and indie on production, vocal inflections. She lives to her name making waist shrinking music.

RAYE - THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.
100

I came into this album with expectations that it can be a album of the year contender. Came out of it very confident that it is the album of the year. It's not even half way through the year but this is perfect. You're listening to a musical about breakup, self love, love, relationships. It's so consistent. Each individual song off the album is great alone too. Just nothing to complain about.

Mitski - Nothing's About to Happen to Me
80

Very beautiful and sad album, very strong vocal performances and writing. I'll disagree with some people that rate it poorly for being boring, i think the slower production tracks were actually the best. I didn't connect with songs that are more rock like "where is my phone?" But I'll give it the benefit or the doubt on further listens.

Fave tracks: If I leave, dead women, I'll change for you

A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb
70

It's good for a one time listen just doesn't have as much replay value to me. For such a long hiatus and so much personal growth over the years with things like his relationship with Rihanna it doesn't really reflect it in the music. The writing feels very shallow conisdering how much A$AP Rocky could talk about ove the past couple of years.

Bruno Mars - The Romantic
60

It's a Bruno Mars album. He always returns to the same formula of hits that he has been doing for nearly a decade. It feels weaker this time around just generic. A shame because Bruno Mars was on a generational ruun of singles and duos recently and just a lackluster album with none of those hits is a bit of a shame

BLACKPINK - DEADLINE
20

To think that Jump would be a highlight of the album. When I first heard it I thought it was a mediocre song with the most interesting part being the beatdrop at the end of the song. The lyrics are corny and cringe on this, the actual singing doesn't really match many of these songs. Some of the mixing is just awful like on champion where the chorus compared to the verses are just so drastically different to one another in a bad way. Just yeah some of the worst kpop I heard

Baby Keem - Ca$ino
70

I mean this in a sincere way, I think Baby keem needs to try one time really stepping away from a similar to Kendrick sound. Like yes he sounds good but he will always be compared to Kendrick and frankly no one in the world can match Kendrick on similar production styles as him. It's alright it sounds good but I won't be revisiting the album except for Dramatic Girl which is a great song.

Joji - Piss In The Wind
30

very dissapointing album. It just doesn't sound finished. It's creatively bankrupt. Majority of the album is under 2 minutes. It just doesn't even allow for a song to really have longevity or have any depth. It feels incomplete and just a bunch of interlude tracks. Some of the longer track songs don't feel like they even match up well with the vocals joji goes for, like Sojourn, DYKILY. It leaves those tracks that are long enough to be full songs just ending up being ... read more
