ALBUM NUMBER 14! We see ourselves at the first of the bands 2019 releases, Fishing for Fishies (I have too much fun saying that).

Haha [insert funny Hobo Johnson album art joke]
When it comes to the latest release from Remo Drive there is so little to say about it, other than it's the biggest "whatever" of June. The tracks on here have nothing that make them stand out from each other or from other artists, they just come off as bland and painfully generic. Legit while writing this review I have forgotten about all of these tracks, I've been told to give "Greatest Hits" a chance which I will ... read more

The King Gizz train continues with album number 8 Nonagon Infinity.

So this is the first Phoebe Bridgers album that I've ever listened to and at this point I didn't really know what I was getting myself into but I'm glad that I went in blind because I was blown away by how good this album turned out to be.
Phoebe as a performer is absolutely amazing, her vocals throughout this whole album were very emotive and powerful, her vocals add to the quality of the emotional, personal and poignant songwriting. She goes over an array of her personal experiences and ... read more

Woo! It's obscure concept time! Continuing on with my run of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards discography I am on album number 6, Quarters. With me loving the last album as much as I did I want this King Gizz train to keep going, this time around Quarters is a another different concept the band have tried and the concept is literally spelled out for you in ... read more
Smokepurpp has been an anomaly for me the past couple of years, he showed promise early on especially around the Deadstar and early soundcloud era but for his past three projects he's been squandering his potential by trying to sound like other artists and watering that sound down whether that be Travis Scott, Playboi Carti or hell he even tried to copy NAV for some reason.
With Florida Jit however he seems to be going back to the early soundcloud sound and somewhat branching into his own ... read more

So yeah, moving onto the 5th album in my King Gizzard run which is I'm In Your Mind Fuzz.

So to begin my journey through King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards ... 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."
