Travis Scott - Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight
69

Too bad this album is just safe in what it is. Not trying to be anything more than a collection of some good ass songs, but also some songs that just aren’t it chief.

Spiritualized - Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space
92

Didn’t realize it would be this varied in sound. Given the title, I thought it’d be more ethereal and reverb heavy. I’m glad it’s something more unique and three dimensional though. As this album is very unique and is not confided to a simple set of words and phrases.

Harold Budd - The Moon and the Melodies
85

At the beginning, I thought the ambience was weird and a huge pace killer. But the more the album went on, the more I fell into it. Definitely aided by Elizabeth Fraser’s beautiful voice. I don’t know what she’s saying, but it doesn’t matter.

Sigur Rós - Takk...
91

Definitely has the highest highs out of any sigur ros album. Alongside the most low key, beautiful moments. But those euphoric highs are something to behold.

Michael Jackson - Bad
73

Big hits aside, this album is pretty average. The snare gets really annoying at points but Michael can sing his ass off. The hits however carry this album tenfold and without them, this album doesn’t really have anything. Sadly, the weakest of this trilogy by a long shot.

Black Thought - Streams of Thought, Vol. 3: Cane And Abel
77

Some real good bangers, other songs feel forgettable and half baked ideas. Has a cool concept though.

William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops IV
81

As we finish up our saga, we find ourselves looping back to where we started. In a beautiful trance of awe striking pain that’s hard to look away from. Thank you William, for everything you’ve given me.

William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops III
84

A distorted mess of beautiful sounds that feels more uplifting than soul crushing. The world is healing in a horrible, gruesome way.

William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops II
88

This album really is the sound of a glooming tragedy moving at Mach 10 with no end in sight and no way to stop it. Which makes it all the more beautiful in the very end.

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
74

Pretty good outing from the band honestly, just a shame that they’re British.

William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops
90

A tragedy beautifully painted without words or picture. Just real raw atmosphere that draws you in and doesn’t pull you out until the silence starts.

James Blake - Bad Cameo
84

Lil yachty is cool and James compliments him well both vocally and production wise. What else is there to say about it?

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP2
70

It’s actually good wtf? I’m shocked. This album shouldn’t be good. His past albums weren’t good. But this one has compelling production, lyrics, and flows. Yes some songs suck and try way too hard, but more often than not, I’m enjoying myself. Which I didn’t expect to say.

Eminem - Recovery
49

Better than I thought it’d be. Yes, it’s corny, yes, all the choruses suck. But some songs really stand out with some great ideas and production. I wanna call it overhated but it’s not. It 100 percent makes sense.

Eminem - Relapse
62

I think this album is very very backloaded. With a lot of cool production chops and em actually going in on these beats with all the troubles he’s been going through. However, the voices he does on this album are all extremely annoying and ruin certain songs on here.

Eminem - Encore
34

What the hell happened?

Eminem - The Eminem Show
68

This feels more like a victory lap than an actual album. It has a lot of bangers but also has a lot of uninteresting filler with a more poppy sound that works sometimes and falls completely flat other times.

Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
74

While being very immature and not aging very well, it’s still well made with some standout bars and consistently good production and solid hooks. Totally makes sense as to why EM blew up after this, it’s the perfect recipe.

Metallica - Hardwired...To Self-Destruct
58

As a return to form, it’s fine. Nothing stands out from this album, it’s just all very basic and uninspired. Really shows us how little the band has grown and how much they’ve actually regressed since the 80’s.

Lou Reed & Metallica - Lulu
55

It’s an interesting idea with mildly enjoyable execution. I thought Metallica would be more than background production for these songs and Lou reed is as incomparable as ever. So I guess this is a success?
