slowthai - Nothing Great About Britain
63

I think it’s good. I just don’t think this is an album for me. I think the production is good, but it doesn’t serve slowthai that well. Maybe his other albums will be for me. I just thought this was pretty alright and nothing else.

Big Pun - Capital Punishment
81

It’s really really good. I just think there’s a decent amount of filler and interludes. If you cut down a third of this album, it gets way better.

Lorde - Melodrama
73

Yeah, I like it. I just don’t think it goes that above and beyond for a pop album. Yeah, perfect places is great, but I just don’t think the rest of this album lives up to it, not even green light. I just think there’s better out there.

Bangers on bangers with this one

Frou Frou - Details
88

Going into this I had no idea it was Imogen heap and I was pleasantly surprised to hear her. This album is beautiful, catchy, and playful all at the same time. I just don’t think it stacks up to her solo catalogue quite as much.

Alice in Chains - Facelift
52

I just don’t think I’m a fan of grunge. It just feels like the epicentre of rock music, pulling from everything and thus, sounding like a complete average of everything. Nothing really jumps out at me.

Yung Lean - Warlord
74

There are some beautifully produced bangers that capture the essence of cloud rap so perfectly on here. However, I think it has a decent amount of duds that so hold it back from true greatness.

Flume - Hi This Is Flume
77

Starts out really really strong. I just think it could’ve finished a little bit stronger. Then it would’ve been a mixtape for the ages.

MGMT - MGMT
58

Eh it’s just a pretty basic and boring pop album to me. Nothing really jumps out as exceptional to me.

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
90

I liked three cheers for sweet revenge, but this is just on a different level. The production is phenomenal. It’s so crisp and hard hitting yet soft when it needs to be. The overall concept is really gripping and it gets pulled off really well. Same thing with the vocals. They sound great. Passionate, but not annoying. I’m so glad I finally decided to give this album a listen. It was so worth it.

Snow Patrol - Eyes Open
84

I think this album is actually really really good for what it is. I know people think it’s generic indie slop but I think it’s just so much more. It’s well produced, powerful, inspiring, and sad at times. The vocals capture these feelings all beautifully, and while there are some tracks that drag on, the powerful tracks really soar in comparison.

TOOL - Ænima
87

This album fucks hard. I haven’t listened to a TOOL album in a long time and this was a very welcome surprise. The progression of these tracks is insane. Definitely one for the ages.

Taylor Swift - reputation
37

Honestly really embarrassing for an artist of her calibre to release something so childish and immature from the lyrics to the production. Despite that, it’s still also boring, which is lowkey impressive. But I never want to come back.

Animal Collective - Campfire Songs
64

If visiting friends was an entire album it would sound like this.

Cities Aviv - COME TO LIFE
76

I do think this album is weaker, but it’s cool to see where he started off. His sound is fresh even back then.

The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die - Whenever, If Ever
81

A really passionate and cool take on a Midwest emo album. I will definitely check out more of their stuff. The mixing felt a little off during some points but overall, I enjoyed this album a bunch.

KAYTRANADA - BUBBA
83

A celebration of what makes music so much fun. I really needed this right now.

Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
45

This album sounds a whole lot better in the hockey dressing room than in headphones. It’s also just not exceptional to me anyways. I think that’s just me not loving this style of maximalist hard rock from the 80’s though. Axl rose isn’t that annoying. But when he is, it’s bad.

Turnstile - Time & Space
73

Even with its short runtime, I was sometimes bored. I don’t know how that can happen.

Xiu Xiu - La Forêt
77

Desolately sad and lonely. Nobody can hear Jamie’s sad screams
