what other "talents" does Ronnie Radke, the infamous lead frontman of Falling In Reverse, have?
well, he's certainly no musician... at least the other bandmates are having fun?

88rising's second helping of poppy summer R&B jams (even though this album was released in October...) and showcase of their young asian talent doesn't quite reach the highs of the first Head in The Clouds tape, and the deep cuts aren't really worth sticking around for as well. as extremely talented as 88's labelmates are, as well as the various collaborators on here, its extremely clear that these guys were reserving their best material for their own solo projects (The ... read more
Mac Miller's demons were nothing new to the common fan. he had been fighting them for as long as we knew him. through on Swimming, his 13th and soberingly last musical project under his own name and released in his lifetime, Mac soulfully bares both his fresh and old wounds to the listener, as if it was the first time we've truly and honestly heard him out. the lovesick funk and jazz of The Divine Feminine is twisted here into the downhearted yet passionate backdrop to spotlight ... read more
while the second installment in Ye and Ty Dolla $ign's "VULTURES" trilogy is technically an all-around better listen than the duo's earlier debut this year, it is still so sadly missing the once high bar that Kanye was able to raise even higher from album after album. there are enjoyable tracks and occasionally interesting musical ideas to be found on this album, and Ty Dolla once again delivers really great vocal performances, but these positives are shot in the foot time ... read more
even five years later after its release, no album can match the supremely flabbergasting, wholeheartedly odd, and cheerfully addictive listening experience of Laura Les and Dylan Brady's debut studio album as a duo, 1000 gecs.

pride month is never over, billie said so.
four years after the ethereal and hazy LP!, and a year after his game rupturing collab album with Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA blows the roof off with his solo return, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, a project which sees for the first half Peggy leaning the hell into the rock and metal sounds he merely experimented with on his last albums, now realized and perfectly merged with his signature aggressive deliveries and off the wall production. but on the second half, the album sees itself starting to dive ... read more
with Everybody, Logic passionately attempts to translate his slick and proven conscious rap stylings into anthemic messages of peace, love, and positivity for the young, dazed, and confused generation growing up under the beginning of the Trump era. it's such an admirable mission for the Maryland rapper, which makes it all the more a shame that this third studio album, despite the rather grand and overarching sound backing it, is held back so tightly in Logic's limited perspective and ... read more
Pink Floyd reaches the pinnacle of progressive rock by delivering a drop-dead gorgeous, beautifully articulate, and emotionally harrowing tribute to their long missed former bandmate and friend.

you reached for the secret too soon.
an extremely puzzling choice as a single, especially off the release of Berlin Nightmare, but it's rather fine as an interlude-styled track.
the third album by the ever-changing electronic dreamweaver Porter Robinson was promised on its forefront to be a fun and powerful explosion of dauntless pop maximalism. on that front, it succeeds its goal and more, as SMILE! :D crafts some of the finest ear-catching jams of the year. but delving deeper into the sweet, concise 40 minutes reveals an agonizingly aching human side to the seemingly inauthentic front Porter puts up on this album, as we are exposed to some of the songwriter's ... read more
in 2014, the once young-gunning EDM superstar Porter Robinson shattered every preconceived notion of his art by delivering Worlds, a true electronic game-changer that delved deep and heavy into the fantastical imaginary escapism that Porter himself longed for.
seven years later, the now matured and reflective Porter emerged from his battle with depression and a severe lengthy writer's block to tell the world and every individual that were desperately waiting on him and his follow-up to ... read more

ever since Donald Glover said "i'll see you for the last Gambino album" at an early 2017 performance at Governor's Ball, fans have always been quietly preparing for the inevitable end of the Childish Gambino project. seven years, two(ish) albums, and a hit single later, the end has finally come. Bando Stone and The New World is the culmination of everything Donald has achieved as his musical alias ever since starting out as a young scrappy college rapper in 2005. it is also ... read more
"They say they miss the old Drake, girl don't tempt me."
well, in a way we did get the "old Drake", if the old Drake was stripped of any of the charisma, passion, and sympathy that made albums like Take Care and Nothing Was The Same genuine classics despite their lyrical and topical shortcomings. what we're left with on For All The Dogs, the 13th total full-length project by the hip-hop boy wonder, is a Drake that is so pathetically stuck in his ways and has ... read more
an emotionally vulnerable and delicate romp through Deb's mind and feelings during the first months of the lock-in. an overlooked gem of the pandemic era.
