JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
30

Never thought I'd see a day where I'd think a Peggy album is bad but here we are. Idk what's gone wrong but he is doing way too much while simultaneously doing so little. Overstimulating, incoherent beats alongside Peggy doing the same flow track for track with boring and predictable bars constantly makes for a tough listen and its made even worse with the sheer number of tracks on here that do absolutely nothing. The abrasive brostep shit is obnoxious, the vocal mixing is trash, ... read more

Fuck The United States of America. This albums sick tho

Olly Murs - Knees Up
0

Who was this made for? Genuinely?

Danny Brown - Stardust
70

Danny Brown's 6th studio album 'Stardust' has been one of my most highly anticipated albums of the year, not only because Danny is one of my favourite artists ever but also because he's been teasing at taking a vastly different turn artistically toward that forthcoming album. It's no secret that Danny Brown has been a huge fan of and championing various artists that have been popping off from the underground and beyond, all of which are noticeably distinct and vary with ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA
80

T back.

'CHROMAKOPIA' is the 8th studio album from Tyler, the Creator, an album that just sort of came out nowhere with Tyler announcing it only a few weeks back and breaking the album every two years cycle (if you're not counting The Estate Sale), and at this rate it's ridiculous how consistent Tyler has become since 'Flower Boy', he's constantly evolved and pushed himself artistically, with 'IGOR' being his greatest work arguably, and with ... read more

JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
70

Updated take:
After the directors cut came out I came back to this album to give it another spin, and it's definitely grown on me, especially with tracks like 'JPEGULTRA' and 'i recovered from this' being major growers, but ultimately I still don't love this as much as other Peggy albums. Some points in my original review still stand, mainly about some of the rock elements not working on some tracks and some of the shit Peggy is saying in the lyrics being pretty ... read more

ian - Valedictorian
30

'Valedictorian' is the debut mixtape from rapper Ian, who I had never heard of before this tape even dropped and based off the tiring discourse and the actual snippets that I heard from him I had no intention of giving the full project a chance because I knew I wouldn't like it. On the surface he just seemed like your run-of-the-mill non-descript trap rapper who raps over weak beats and his biggest selling point is that of a Lil Mabu where it's just "this whiteboy goes hard fr", maybe ... read more

High on Fire - Cometh the Storm
80

'Cometh the Storm' is the 9th album from High on Fire, a legendary stoner/sludge metal band who in the past I've only been passively familiar with, and that was only because I knew of the bands frontman and guitarist Matt Pike who's also in the beloved stoner metal band Sleep who I'm a big fan of. Sleep are up there as one of my favourite metal bands so how it took me this long to finally hear a High on Fire album is beyond me but hey, better late than never, and my first taste of their work is ... read more

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To
90

Music to punt a priest to

Admittedly when I first heard Knocked Loose's music I wasn't all that impressed, back in 2021 I checked out their 'A Tear in the Fabric of Life' EP which I thought was decent but nothing that piqued my interest too much, however that EP is due for a relisten at some point since 1) it's been three years and 2) their 3rd and latest album 'You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To' clicked with me HARD. I was eagerly anticipating this album since the singles started coming ... read more

Kamasi Washington - Fearless Movement
80

In the heat of possibly the biggest and most unavoidable event in recent pop culture and rap history, this weeks new music Friday was very much overshadowed, highly anticipated albums and singles from various artists across the broad music world were left to the waste side and it's a shame because there were some quality records that came out this week from both niche and popular artist. WILLOW dropped what might be her best album with 'empathogen', Mdou Moctar released another good collection ... read more

Talking Heads - The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads
90

I don't know how it took me so long to finally go ahead and listen to 'The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads' but hey, better late than never. Talking Heads at this point need no introduction, but suffice to say that as a studio act they are one of the most ground-breaking and innovative of the US New Wave and Post-Punk scenes, blending so many genres together seamlessly while remaining unique and appealing, and the quality in their discography isn't just limited to the studio, as they were ... read more

Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters
90

Dead Kennedys sophomore album 'Plastic Surgery Disasters' is an immense Hardcore album, a classic in every sense of the word and is simply the best project that the band has ever made. This record embodies all of the characteristics that makes Dead Kennedys such a brilliant band but it's done at such a consistent and creative level which in turn makes it a Punk powerhouse, and it's easy to see why it's considered one of the greatest Punk records to come out of America, it's blunt and gritty yet ... read more

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Piñata
100

On the 18th of March 2024, Freddie Gibbs & Madlibs first collaborative album Piñata turned 10 years old, when the album was first released it was met with astounding acclaim from critics and audiences, since then it’s gone on to attain classic status among Hip-Hop fans and it’s often considered the peak of Freddie Gibbs discography, and another masterwork from Madlib’s discography. In my view this album only gets better with every single year that passes, only going ... read more

J. Cole - Might Delete Later
30

Might Delete Later? Bro you should've kept this shit in the desktop recycling bin.

I have a complicated relationship with J. Cole's music, when I was in secondary school he was one of my early favourites and at one point '2014 Forrest Hills Drive' was one of my favourite albums, overtime however I grew distant from his music, I still love some older tracks and albums but not as much as I used to, and as I discovered better more substantive Hip-Hop Cole's music just seemed a lot weaker in ... read more

Judas Priest - Invincible Shield
80

UK Heavy Metal legends Judas Priest have returned with their latest album entitled 'Invincible Shield', almost six years to the day since their last record 'Firepower' which was a surprisingly quality late career record from the band, and based off how good the singles were for 'Invincible Shield' I was very excited. 'Firepower' might not be one of my absolute favourite records from Judas Priest but honestly what they achieved on that album was pretty monumental, because no other band that has ... read more

MGMT - Loss of Life
80

After a long 6 year wait, MGMT have finally returned with new material in the form of 'Loss of Life', which is the duos 5th album and it's one where they once again reinvent themselves and add a new dimension to their Neo-Psych Pop palette. Only recently have I delved into MGMT's discography, I had known of them for years and have massive nostalgia for their biggest hits from their debut album 'Oracular Spectacular', but until a few days ago I had never actually dived into their work and since ... read more

On 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin'
"@ChazzaMaate yeah as much as I've revisited this album over the years I've just never really liked it, the hits are good and there's some tracks that have grown on me over the years, but as a whole album it's just not that impressive in grander scheme of 2000's hip-hop to me. I've always felt like 50 himself was just a middling rapper that was often carried by his beats and artists in a similar lane as him like The Game put out much better records in this similar vein. People shitting on you for not liking this is to be expected, it's still considered a classic, it's whatever tho idrc, that's just how music discourse is for popular albums."
