*too sour
Post-quarantine society has awakened a nostalgia for a freer, more emotionally potent era of our life: teenhood, where ephemeral relationships feel real enough to make the future seem brighter, and heartbreak becomes a cathartic temper tantrum. Olivia Rodrigo introduces herself with ‘driver’s license,’ a sincere, homely pop ballad that drew both attention from the dramatic circumstances around it, as well as the relatable nature of the underdog character Olivia ... read more

Schizoscriptures is an undefinable mish-mash that finds a pretty awe-inspiring amount of ways to fuse genres in creative and inventive ways. at any given moment you can place its influences and goal, but no one song is content to stay in place for very long. it's the skittish, undefinable music that's going to define the "playlist-era" of album composition.
case in point, although 'Mothlight' opens with distorted digital hardcore, it gives way to a bass line that ... read more

weezer fans remind me of miami dolphins fans they swear the dolphins lit but the dolphins hella trash lmao they so stuck in 1994 lmao
even though itzy is definitely at their most directionless on guess who, there's no denying that the attempts at pop rap on this project are catchier, more well-produced and better executed than most of their contemporaries. unlike a BLACKPINK, the beats on guess who wholly avoid the impact of shitty and cringey producers like TEDDY.
'SHOOT!' is as casual and effortless as any western rap; most of this mini-album is packed with slick rapping and ear-worm chants (something that seems to have ... read more

"take your time 'cause it's all over" - 'trophy'
`
on their sophomore album crumb have thrown themselves deeper into their darker inclinations. the stories feel hopeless, the sound is more anxious and some songs need to be cut short to keep themselves from spiraling out of control. a few of the best points ('trophy,' 'tunnel (all that you had)') come closer than "jinx" at delivering on the psychedelic promises of "locket," but crumb remains harrowingly ... read more

Hello, namaste🙏🏻, loved your reviews and followed you. My 2nd conceptual EP 'Marine Affairs' has been just released and I will request you from my heart to check it once. I consists 4 songs (English majorly, with some tinge of hindi and Bengali in 2 track) and it will take only 8 minutes. I know you are busy enough but will be grateful if you review it on AOTY. Your review means a lot. It's a very novice attempt and I am learning, so I will request you to put a very honest review off course. Hope you are in safest of condition in this very hard times. If you do, it will make my day. Thanks in advance for your precious time. ✨🙏🏻

Hey there! How are you? I'm making a list and I would like to know: what do you think is a perfect album to listen to in a certain city and which city would that be? Try and choose a city from your country or state/province. If you want to add some words on why you would choose that album, they will be welcome. Thank you!!

Hey there! I’m making a community list for the end of the world, and I would love for you to contribute.
Prompt:
“The surrounding buildings, in ruins. The remaining survivors, scrambling to find anything that remains. Fire flickers in the pitch-black, creating just a sliver of radiance. Miraculously, you find an old device that can play music. You can only play one album as the battery is nearly dead. Knowing that you have little time left, what is the one album that you choose to listen to as you watch the world crumble before your eyes?”
The album topic could discuss a disastrous time, its sound could fit the vibe of a post apocalyptic setting, or it could be one of your favorite albums that you would want to experience for the last time.
Please provide the artist, album, and an explanation as to why you chose that specific album.
Thank you for reading <3

Not sorted by my score... other, non-quality factors are taken into account to give stuff I didn't totally 100% click with a fair chance if it was influential or important.
