IGOR demonstrates some of the most focused and emotionally dynamic production and story telling of all time to create what in essence is the perfect breakup album. From EARFQUAKE to WHAT’S GOOD, the contrast between love and hatred using such a large sonic range chronicles not just a simple love story, but a man going insane through the turmoil he feels amidst a rather complex love triangle. The progression across this record is nearly unmatched.

Do people genuinely form their own opinions or do they just see Drake and decide it sucks?
Vultures is a revolutionary disappointment – a testiment to Kanye's deterioration not just as an artist, but as a person. Music aside, I hope he gets the help he needs.
Yeezus is one of the of the most remarkable releases in hip-hop. To be where Kanye was at this point in his career, releasing a record as vindictive as Yeezus is such a bold move. I constantly come back to tracks like On Sight and Blood On The Leaves with an awe that has not yet dissipated.
I may be off the mark with this one, but nothing about this project feels beyond amateurish to me. While I completely respect the sentiment of the project, the lyrics feel shallow, the instrumentals sound terrible, and overall I remain to be unconvinced by Night Palace.
We Like It Here demonstrates excellence, both in musicianship and composition, and happens to be incredibly fun at the same time. That’s really all this album boils down to. However, you can’t mention We Like It Here without bringing up the behemoth that is Cory Henry’s solo on Lingus — one of the most impressive feats of improvisation.
To Pimp a Butterfly is easily one of the greatest releases of all time. Its synergy from start to finish is nearly unmatched and genuinely transcendental. Furthermore, it’s so upfront with unorthodox stylistic and lyrical choices, and acknowledgement of the context within which it exists — all of this in a completely perfected and organised progression. Personally, no other Album has had the same impact on me as a person like this one — It changed the way I listen to music, ... read more
All Love’s Legal manages to be entirely questionable in every aspect for its entire duration. It could be asked why rhythmic elements of songs seem to be completely independent of the song they wish to be a part of, or why sound choices too seem like they were mismatched from track-to-track. Ultimately, I don’t think these sorts of questions can be answered. This project is totally and utterly void of sonic quality or cohesiveness, and further, the vocal performance is embarrassing ... read more
I don’t usually rate singles, but this is possibly the most devastating piece of music I’ve ever listened to. It gives me the same feeling I felt towards the end of “Everywhere at the End of Time” by the Caretakers but accomplished in under 9 minutes.
He does have a surprisingly good voice, but besides Santa Clause Is Comin’ to Town, this isn’t anything more than average Christmas music.
I appreciate the versatility, but it contributes to this album feeling aimless and disconnected. That being said, it absolutely has a few highlights.
Eminem still has the potential and technical skill to put out a great record, but he’s too caught up in some anti-woke narrative. No one is trying to cancel you, relax. There is some impressive wordplay and flows on this record but it’s hard to gloss over the corniness.
This was thrown in free with some cd my friend ordered. I understand why they had to start giving this away.
One of the most thoroughly beautiful releases of all time. Tracks like Aria Math and Kyoto demonstrate C418’s insane ability to create highly immersive musical atmospheres. Volume Beta is nearly two-and-a-half hours of pure ear candy.
Greta Van Fleet receives too much unnecessary hate. Wearing your influences on your sleeve isn’t always so bad. Of course they are no Led Zeppelin, but this record is mostly inoffensive and actually quite catchy.
This is Vessel at best and unlistenable at worst. Listening to this version of Trees, knowing they would end up making an album as incredible as Trench, is quite surreal.
Good hooks with disappointing execution — the beginning of some ideas that would culminate into their magnum opus, Trench.
There are some beautiful moments on Vol. 4, but a lot of it is blended up filth. How could anyone as talented as Jacob make WELLLL? I loved the first 3 volumes but he seems to be straying further from his lane.
