Pinned Review

James Blake - James Blake
95
Recently I have come to terms with the idea that music is just so much more than a formula waiting to be followed and/or recreated in different ways. It’s something natural, prosper and unique to our own existences. And maybe why it’s such a subjective matter for all of us. It makes you think about other people’s ideologies of what makes their brain function.

For me, part of this reasoning is present within this album. James Blake’s debut record is 12 years old at the ... read more

Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess
87
The 2000s Pop Nostalgia is SO REAL with this one!!!! I feel I've been looking for a project like this for such a long time...

It's a little long, but Chappell Roan delivered so hard with this one. It's got everything - punch, emotion, sadness, happiness, sassiness, girlyness, you name it. All wrapped in a beautifully produced 00s pure pop sound. Oh god, I felt like we were back for a second.

Troye Sivan - Something To Give Each Other
64
Troye Sivan always comes through with his singles. That's true of Rush, My My My! and YOUTH. Absolute bangers. But when the album comes, I always feel sort of unsatisfied.

Although this one delivered solid songs, it still feels like there's something else missing. The production is probably the best of any Troye project but then nothing else is really memorable... If only most songs took the risk that Got Me Started took - by adding a sample that, although completely out of place, made the ... read more

RAYE - My 21st Century Symphony. (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)
70
Hearing all about RAYE's story in the general pop media has made me (and I hope everyone) sympathetic towards her career. I decided to listen to the Live version of her debut because Live versions are really where it's at. And she has a beautiful voice. So much so that I don't think pop is where she should be headed with such vocal range. This live album can feel a bit long and dull at parts, but it just leaves you speechless because RAYE's voice is just incredible! Excited to see where she ... read more
Charli XCX - BOTTOMS (Original Motion Picture Score)
60
The one track they use for this movie constantly getting changed up an down is fantastic. Shame that it lacks variety. It could've potentially been one of the greatest teen rom-com soundtracks for the decade.
Jockstrap & Taylor Skye - I<3UQTINVU
68
At some instances, Taylor Skye turns it up to a point where it feels like a brand new project within itself. With some rocky moments, I<3UQTINVU is an ally to the quirkness of Jockstrap fantastic debut project, I Love You Jennifer B.

Hey nextlevelouis, for my upcoming 700 follower special I wanted to do a list based some research on AOTY user's most listened to albums. All you need to do is send me a link to your last.fm account. If you don't have one, no worries. If you could tell me what is (probably) your top 10 most listened to albums that would great instead. Thanks for your time in advance!
