a motherfucking classic.

a surprisingly exciting must-hear

the 4 track electro zeitgeist rockets twigs into earth

out of this world.

aoty contender

this song may seem pretty nonsensical and melody driven on surface level, but when you dig into twigs' metaphors and get used to her almost visual style of writing, you'll quickly transcribe this for the inner liberation anthem it is. that may not change the course of time per say, but it'll change how you look at her work at large for sure. drums of death is about social suicide and your life trying to get you back. in the meantime, you, or the character is too lost and busy ... read more

aotd already.

Remember "purposeful pop"? Yeah, now forget that, cause 143 by Katy Perry has no purpose at all, not even being mindless dance pop. there are 2 enjoyable moments on this album, totaling up to only 1 of the 34 minutes this nothing burger runs through. What's even sadder tho, is the fact that both have nothing to do with katy, they are doechi and jid's respective verses on their tracks. Smile had a sentiment, it felt to me as tho katy finally actually started writing her music ... read more

an outstandingly cinematic concept album with dramatic synth pop that moves you

first off, this is not an album review but rather a yap session about a discourse i have been seeing circulate online especially since the explosion of brat summer.

a lot of what made brat summer brat summer takes from
the indie sleaze of 17 years ago, especially with charli endorsing flat out electroash acts like The Date himself alongside his very obvious label push. So naturally, people have sparked conversation about a possible revival of sleaze, which from my perspective will never truly ... read more

such a sophisticated and focused soft jazz, sophistipop masterpiece with lush vocals on top of classic jazz and a sprinkle of gospel with some synth pad infusion. the orchestra slightly getting more dominant on the last 4 tracks made the album a whole lot bigger sonically and elevated it from a 86 to a 96 in my book.

okay so, woah. this is still a jpegm record so of course, you expect what you expect. but fuck, the beat switching on track 2, the last 2 lofi-esque sample cuts, the twitter vulgar lyricism as always, the guitar riffs and the overall hard rock undertones .... this is not his best, thats still veteran, but this is his most realized. this is the most jpegmafia jpegmafia has ever jpegmqfia'd.

lively emo rock, something i've definitely missed :) favorites would be romance, desire, motorcycle boy, sundowner, and the absolute standout horseness is the whatness

dreamyyy, best of 50s elvis

what can i say, its back to black.

underrated masterpiece

melancholic in some corners, this cold but somehow intimate idm masterpiece deserves all its praise and more.

this is not just a pop album, this is a beyonce album, the most beyonce of all.

very demure rnb that would be a blueprint for EVERYTHING onwards. legendary.

most daring and fun record of theirs imo. playful.
