The track run from Holy (Til You Let Me Go) to Frankenstein is definitely one of the best track runs of the year so far. That being said, though, the rest of the album just simply wasn't as good (I do have a guilty pleasure for This Hell, though). It's almost like you're eating a sandwich with all of your favorite topping just for it to all be between very slightly stale bread. Certainly none of the tracks were bad; I just believe that the album could've used some of the spice sprinkled on that ... read more

Woah, Kenny (this was a very original joke by me)!

Man.

I can't even think of anything to say. This album is perfect. To think she even followed it up with another perfect album, too!

I did admittedly listen to this a bit distracted, but man was this a entertaining listen. At some points I did feel like some songs sounded a bit the same, but I'm sure after a couple listens it'll start to separate themselves from each other.

Strangers was definitely a standout track for me, though, maybe because of a little bias considering that I love A$AP and RTJ, but they honestly really killed their features.

This album is about sex.

I've decided to relisten to SAWAYAMA in preparation for Miss Rina's new album coming very soon, and I'm still just as amazed as I was listening to it the first time. Dynasty -> XS -> STFU! is easily one of the best three track runs of the decade so far, and even onwards the album still holds up greatly. I do wish the momentum from banger after banger was carried a bit more consistently towards the end, particularly with Chosen Family and Snakeskin, which are easily the weakest cuts on ... read more

I'm infuriated that this has gotten the attention it deserves. This is probably the most consistently good album that has been released this year, only really having one slightly low point in TV BABY V.2 (LATCH KEY MARCH) (though it's still a very good song). Kilo genuinely reinvents electropop here with some of the most hard-hitting and unique sounds the genre has seen.

I do wish Vince had an actual verse on the song he's featured on, though; he would've flowed so nicely on it. Regardless, ... read more

Pusha T is one of the only rappers right now that can rap about mostly the same thing yet keep it unique and intriguing. His wordplay is fantastic throughout the album, the beat selection is almost addicting, and while his still uses his trademark flow a lot on here (which is absolutely not a problem for me), the different flows he tried out on some songs did not miss at all. Definitely one of the most solid rap albums of the year so far.

This album was conflicting for me to judge. On one hand, it clearly shows that low-effort Charli is still so much better than a LOT of pop artists at their best. On the other hand, Charli obviously could've done better, but she's made that fairly clear with her marketing this as her "sell-out era." Regardless, I'm still pretty satisfied with Crash, but I'll always be curious how much more I would like it had she put more effort in.

Oh, and words cannot describe how disappointed I am ... read more

Back when I was young and insufferable, I used to unironically enjoy listening to bass-boosted meme songs that were considered funny at the time but have aged so horrendously that it makes me ill. Present me loving this album easily proves that time is a flat circle.

For an album shorter than my lunch break, it's incredibly impressive how much Kanye and Cudi were able to fit into it. A real shame we'll likely never get a collaboration like this ever again.

No album has ever given me goosebumps like this one did. Every track is so disturbing and practically horrifying, yet you almost feel entrapped listening to them as Hayter keeps you on the edge of your sit and pushes the limits of how gruesome yet emotional and beautiful this album can be, from its sound to its subject matter.

Truly one of the greatest and most soul-crushing album of our century so far.
