Pinned Review

Lana Del Rey - Honeymoon

i could probably write this review forever, but this album will forever hold a special place in my heart. the lyrics hit so hard to the point where i can’t even listen to it at certain points of my life, which makes it such a good melancholic record for me. the fullness of the production and the emptiness of happiness amount for a atmospheric eerie feeling that i could never describe. songs like the blackest day, encapture this feeling perfectly. imo, this album is so much darker than ... read more

ROLLING STONE #333
smooth easy listening soul/jazz album, this is one of those classics that just define the genre for me. such great music, simplistic but that’s where the beauty lies.
fav; let me in your life
least fav: kissing my love
overall: 9.0/10
Guided by Voices - Nowhere to Go But Up
67
not the most inspired project or the most engaging but it’s pretty cohesive and easy to listen to. def overhated by the 18 user score it had before i reviewed it.
fav: stabbing at fractions

ROLLING STONE #334
the thing i love most about this list, is it always contains classics i've always wanted to check out. this is an incredible record, i think it's genius for it's time blending psychedlic elements with blues influences! the only two songs that didn't stick though, were the intro and outro tracks, which didn't seem to do much for me sonically
fav: hope you're feeling better
least fav: el nicoya
overall: 8.6/10
Bob Dylan & The Band - The Basement Tapes

ROLLING STONE #335
this is the most cohesive bob dylan record i've reviewed yet. although he sounds uninterested at parts and the project drags a little towards the middle, we finally got some harmonies! this could've been executed a lot better, but I think this is a great record with some pretty great standout tracks.
fav: ruben remus
least fav: lo and behold!
overall: 7.4/10
Roxy Music - Avalon

ROLLING STONE #336
this project was extremely easy to listen to, that being said: sometimes it faded into the background a little bit. i loved the instrumentals on these tracks and how smooth the production was, i think with time this has the potential to grow on me!
fav:avalon
least fav: to turn you on
overall: 7.7/10
