BNYX® - SMOKING IN THE RAIN
83

bleep bloop music

Turnstile - NEVER ENOUGH
82

A floaty, dreamy bit of optimistic stadium rock revival.

Jane Remover - Revengeseekerz
78

Very entrenched in its own sonic palette, Revengeseekerz finds a schtick and sticks with it. It took me some time to develop an ear for it despite me listening to a lot of rage music, but once i did it was pretty obvious how well crafted these songs are. I loved the hard-hitting moments of JRJRJR, Dreamflasher, and the buildup and payoff of TURN UP OR DIE.

Momma - Welcome to My Blue Sky
52

I went into this with pretty good expectations, and was surprised by how impressively bland it it. Welcome To My Blue Sky has a very generic "soft rock" sound that isn't endearing at all and cover cliche subjects- being young and falling in love- with even more cliche lines like "staying up talking till 3AM." This album is more sanitized than the recent pop stars that genuinely got their start on the Disney channel.

Rachel Chinouriri - Little House
77

I had a really fun time listening to the EP for the first time with a friend on a day trip, which is the best way to experience it. It's a fun, summery, and hopeful bit of indie rock.

Mk.gee - A Museum Of Contradiction
75

While not as catchy or as mk.gee's following project Two Star and the Dream Police, Museum of Contradiction is a solidly well-crafted album. This effort is very ambient overall, and shows influences, like Tame Impala and Thundercat, pretty clearly in some parts. Favorites- cz, Western, Isn't It So Convenient

Quadeca - GODSTAINED
89

Vanisher (and Quadeca's career) have a crazy amount of hype right now, and GODSTAINED is keeping it going. It's a floaty, ethereal first single that takes its time to build up, featured beautiful instrumentation, and leans heavier onto the "folk" side of Quadeca's take on folktronica.

Weatherday - Hornet Disaster
74

Solid jangle-rock that drags on slightly in the first half, but picks up heavily in the second half.

Armani White - CUT THE LIGHTS.
88

Are y'all kidding? Armani white a very nice little pop rap song with all the right sorts of larger-than-life confidence.

Lil Nas X - HOTBOX
92

I love being bisexual so much

The Strokes - The New Abnormal
95

Author and speaker Elizabeth Gilbert believes that art is metaphysically real, as a kind of magic, a product of a collaboration between creation and creator where the creator is the art.

I have never been of that opinion, but if there was something to convince me of it it would be The New Abnormal. All of these songs seem classic and timeless, in that they've always existed and always will continue to on some spiritual level. The Strokes and the many people that helped this album be put ... read more

Playboi Carti - MUSIC
79

This album could not have come out at a worse time in Carti’s reputation. Public opinion of him is at a low following his physical assault allegations, but his intense fandom could probably forgive all that if the music was just there. The past five years, MUSIC hasn't, and pushback after pushback means there's less demand for this guy's art than ever. Overall, it would be a very satisfying time for a Carti downfall.

Unfortunately, this album is very good, and is ... read more

Adrianne Lenker - Sadness As A Gift
30

I want to like her stuff, I really do, but her voice is insufferable. I tried to get into her catalogue and at first I didn't know how to feel about it, but now I know I feel bad. I'm sure she works hard, I really am, but her voice is bad to listen to.

0

one of the most unlistenable things i've heard ever. genuinely, i have no words for how bad this is

JPEGMAFIA - EP2!
79

If JPEGMAFIA wanted a career in pop rap he could have it. I'm grateful he's more adventurous, but appreciate this detour for what it is.

Bhad Bhabie - Ms. Whitman
65

OG crashout funny ass problematic queen

Alabama Barker - Cry Bhabie
35

did someone order TiaCorine from a sketchy website?

Bhad Bhabie - Over Cooked
30

not particularly listenable

Maruja - Tír na nÓg
94

atmospheric, tight, meditative, emotional, transcendent

On filipiakye's review of beabadoobee - This Is How Tomorrow Moves
"this whole thing is kinda proving how immature people on both sides (and bea herself) have been, to me. The original meme was funny but nothing groundbreaking, her jumping to conflate being mildly annoyed by spam with the genuine harassment she's received is a concerningly immature move, but because she brought incels into it their noxious ass community had to make themselves known. Now there's allegations of sexism and reverse sexism and reverse reverse sexism and no one has a leg to stand on. Lowkey the guy that made the og meme is the most mature in the whole situation, he clarified that he was a fan of her music and told his audience not to spread hate to beabadoobe or her fans."
On beabadoobee - This Is How Tomorrow Moves
"wait hi ima be real and say the yabadabadoo/artists who can't sing/crashout memes are funny. It's a1) obvious that as a woman in the public eye she's received a lot of bullshit, but a2) conflating genuine harassment and mildly annoying spam is a very immature move for a grown 24 year old woman. It's like that meme of someone being really rude and then using every trauma they've ever went through as an excuse to why. She doesn't have to think opera Youngboy is funny, she should have shown the basic decency not to over-react so strongly to something that straight up wasn't that deep. If someone puts art out there they should be prepared for reactions that aren't personally titillating to them."
