Tyler, The Creator - IGOR
100

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.

I connect to this Album in a completely ... read more

PARTYNEXTDOOR - $ome $exy $ongs 4 U
55

Do people genuinely form their own opinions or do they just see Drake and decide it sucks?

Beyoncé - Lemonade
90

Lemonade is incredibly ambitious, unforgiving, and cinematic — an album that truly should’ve left a greater impact.

30

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.

Kanye West - Yeezus
85

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.

Mount Eerie - Night Palace
25

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.

Snarky Puppy - We Like It Here
95

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.

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
100

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

Planningtorock - All Love's Legal
5

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

Armand Hammer - Doves
100

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.

jschlatt - A Very 1999 Christmas
55

He does have a surprisingly good voice, but besides Santa Clause Is Comin’ to Town, this isn’t anything more than average Christmas music.

Childish Gambino - Bando Stone and The New World
55

I appreciate the versatility, but it contributes to this album feeling aimless and disconnected. That being said, it absolutely has a few highlights.

Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
60

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.

Saqqara Mastabas - Libras
10

This was thrown in free with some cd my friend ordered. I understand why they had to start giving this away.

C418 - Minecraft - Volume Beta
90

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.

C418 - Minecraft - Volume Alpha
90

It’s not the nostalgia that makes it good, it’s the quality.

Greta Van Fleet - The Battle at Garden's Gate
75

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.

twenty one pilots - Regional at Best
35

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.

twenty one pilots - Vessel
45

Good hooks with disappointing execution — the beginning of some ideas that would culminate into their magnum opus, Trench.

Jacob Collier - Djesse (Vol. 4)
45

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.
