the way you move is a mystery.
it's exactly what everybody expected from a Drake & PND collab project, so you can't say $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U doesn't ultimately meet the bar. unfortunately, the bar is in hell.

the finale of the Weeknd's last odyssey has finally arrived. on Hurry Up Tomorrow, an eclectic and expansive 20+ tracks paint the soundscape of Abel Tesfaye's persona's final push to make it to Tomorrow, the imagined heaven beyond the dark and miserable life that we're all too used to from the Weeknd. the songs are for the most part, of course, stellar. some of the most immaculate pop production seen in recent years, and his voice is just as heavenly as it was during the ... read more
“I thought nobody died on a friday.”
nearly seven years after the passing of Mac Miller, the darkest recesses of his beautiful mind have resurfaced in the form of Balloonerism, the fabled lost studio project from before the era of Faces. the surreal and dark existentialism that defined most of Watching Movies With The Sound Off and Faces is in full effect here, but with the help of collaborator Thundercat, Mac mixes his signature style with dreamy neo-soul psychedelia, which would ... read more
a soulful offering from still one of the best to ever do it.
R.I.P. Mac
the presumably final album from the late great Juice WRLD is a weird one. everything surrounding the release of The Party Never Ends made it seem like it was destined to land itself in the pantheon of disrespectful cashgrabby posthumous albums, right alongside XXXTentacion's Bad Vibes Forever and Biggie's Duets album. the off-putting album cover somehow crafted by Takashi Murakami, the exclusion of anticipated leaked tracks (i.e. Rental), and the choice of features didn't help ... read more
seven years after the passing of the legendary Chester Bennington, Linkin Park begin to pick up the pieces as they restart From Zero. the inevitable main talking point of the band's eight studio album will be directed at Emily Armstrong, as she assumes the daunting role as Linkin Park's new lead singer. no matter how you may feel about her outside the music, Emily's undeniable vocal talents allow Mike and the rest to tap into a kinetic energy that can occasionally resemble prime ... read more

"Don't you ever stop bein' who you are and dimmin' your light for none of these motherfuckers out here."
CHROMAKOPIA sees Tyler Okonma for once mask-off and at his most vulnerable, as he grapples with maturity and the pressures of getting older through the perspective of one of the most influential creators of his era. through his mother's advice, reflective storytelling, and the now-masterful soundscape he so effortlessly paints nowadays, Tyler goes on a journey ... read more
as mixed a bag as a mixed bag can be, Weezer's Red Album sees the band try to reach for the approachable heights of late stage 2000s pop rock alongside toying with different genres and style switch-ups. the result is ultimately an admirable yet flawed set of tracks that don't quite reach their intended effect.

a haunting peek into the psyche of a troubled man facing his longtime demons and recent traumas; that troubled man just so happening to be one of the greatest songwriters of his time.

one day i am gonna grow wings, a chemical reaction, hysterical and useless.
an unfortunately underwhelming finale to the legacy of the Jacksons/Jackson 5 that shines in certain moments, but also showcases how little heart the members were really putting into their group efforts by the 80s, which eventually culminated in the disastrous behind the scenes drama of the Victory Tour that ended up tearing the band apart.

it's not gonna convert anybody who already don't like traditional jazz standards or flashy theater tunes, but Harlequin offers some of the most dynamic and compelling range that Gaga has pushed herself towards, and most of the time, she absolutely SHINES.
