Boards of Canada - Inferno
91

13 years well worth the wait, this album is mavus (or however you spell marvelous)

Drake - ICEMAN
55

Aggressively okay

Sade - Love Deluxe
92

Possibly the smoothest album of all time, it truly is deluxe

glaive - God Save The Three
55

The Troubles is good, but the rest I didn't care for too much. Love the Yaya Toure shout though

Magdalena Bay - Nice Day: A Collection of Singles
85

Second Sleep live was a religious experience

Tiffany Day - HALO
80

I came across the singles to this project and they really intrigued me. The whole album is really good. There's this through line of this background synth(?) that plays a similar if not the same line in a lot of the songs that I think is a cooll throughline, though it does somewhat limit the uniqueness of each track. However, the songs are catchy and show a lot of skill. Dare I say it's better than the underscores album?

Kanye West - BULLY
65

I hired a kid to work on my farm a couple years ago. Unfortunately, he left the gate open and some of my animals escaped. I scrambled to round them up, but a one still got away. But last week, I heard a sound, a bleat going "Ye Ye Ye." I rushed out immediately, desperately looking around. Sure enough, the last animal I was looking for curled up in its enclosure. That's how I knew, my GOAT was back.

underscores - U

Kind of disappointed by this album, because I loved the first two singles but the rest of the album felt kind of samey.

Sarah Kinsley - Fleeting
70

This EP is quite nice for what we get, a sharp sampler of the sounds Sarah Kinsley likes to create. I am quite excited to see what she does next, I really did wish I could have gotten more songs.

Gorillaz - The Mountain
80

Their best since Plastic Beach

Oxis - Oxis 8
63

I remember seeing her open for Mag Bay back in October and thinking she had a pretty voice. I think stylistically there could be more variation, but she makes very pleasant music that I would never complain about hearing more of it.

IDK - e.t.d.s. A Mixtape by .idk.
70

Starts off really strong, but I feel like the quality of the songs taper off on the second half of the project. Other than that, the features are all really strong, it's kind of crazy the pull .idk has to get so many heavy hitters on a single project.

LAUSSE THE CAT - The Mocking Stars
68

Liberals: Shakespeare would be a democrat!! >:((
Conservatives: No he would be republican!! >:(
Shakespeare if we came back to life: I'm quite fond of this Lausse the Cat fellow.

Pretty solid project with neat prod and an interesting concept, but the core conceit didn't land with me, I think that's okay. It obviously crit with much of the AOTY crowd.

ROSALÍA - LUX
80

Gorgeous and cinematic

Night Tapes - portals//polarities
76

It's an amazing night ride experience to listen to, but I recently went to their live show, which elevated the experience for me immensely. If you can cop tickets to their tour, I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Sometimes you have to separate art from the artist in the sense that the person is cool but the songs are ass.

Ninajirachi - I Love My Computer
83

I find myself coming back to this more often than I thought I would. It's vulnerable, humorous, driving, and just straight up catchy.

Rachel Bobbitt - Swimming Towards The Sand
67

I saw her open for Jordana back in January, and she has a gorgeous voice (thank you for signing the poster too). Unfortunately I don't think it carries the entire runtime of the album, as I started to get fatigued of the sound partway through. I will definitely pull a couple of individual songs into my rotation though, specifically the opener "Don't Cry" and "I Want It All", the latter of which I am even more endeared to because it was my favorite of her live set.

ITZY - Collector
60

Why does trigger remind of It's been so long (the FNAF song) 😭
