For me JID shows some absolute peak throughout this record, but there are also some newer Eminem leanings at times that get a little lyrical miracle and it's at those points he totally loses me. I also feel like the production only sometimes feels amazing, and other times comes through just fine. Certainly an impressive showing but I'm not in the party who would say this is an unadulterated masterpiece. I almost always love JID on features, especially when he does a special voicing, ... read more
not really seeing his highest rated song here, great beat but his vocals are pretty low effort / not great
While much of this album can read more like a diary entry than a cogent or super insightful listen, Vince brings some fresh, catchy ideas to his newest project.
dang i did not hear this properly last night, this is ETHEREAL, sounds like it would play in a 90s Japanese movie scene over a blue night sky with lights twinkling in the background

This song is very different as a lead single from her others, and has continued to grow on me over the last 24 hours. Great production, career-best lyrics, and a wonderful vocal performance show a artistic scaling for Olivia that I'm very excited to see fully fleshed out on the album. Between this and the SNL "begged" performance this could definitely be her best.
me when i make a banger song and then decide to just change the song completely and make it worse
The first song is a Logic's Sidequest ahh song, has a good verse, and then sucks again
Simz comes thru with a tepid, effort-less (derogative) project that sounds like it could have been made in under an hour with some type beats.
That's A No No - 59
Game On - 68
Open Arms - 55
Telephone - 56
Not like peak peak Olivia but super catchy and infectious. Really nice build too! Will def be on the charts all summer
A nice set of tracks from da Mag but I definitely disagree that it’s overall close or better to Imaginal Disk. Second Sleep might be their best tho
its funny that his name is frank OCEAN which is flat, when all he makes is PEAK ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
(the aura debt is worth it)
ok actual review-- great production, memorable concepts and songwriting make this a really strong project. His vocals are out of this world and the texture of the album is cozy but investing. If I were to first listen Blonde vs. this, this would win, but after listening to Blonde a bunch it's slightly better than this because it's more unique and has a clearer ... read more
