Len - Steal My Sunshine
90

This has to be one of the greatest, most unique, creative, and endearing 90s songs ever. I wish all music sounded like Steal My Sunshine.

Marshmello, P!nk & Sting - Dreaming
30

Hey, did you hear the news?
Of course you didn't! Who the hell cares??

Marshmello, P!NK, and fucking Sting, three artists that don't have anyone's eyes on them anymore, collabed!

And it sucks!
This is the most unengaging, sanitized "corporate job training video" house-pop instrumental Mellohead's ever made, it has the worst sounding vocals I've ever heard from Sting, and P!NK couldn't sound less uninterested in what she's singing. Maybe she's too old for her rock moves nowadays. ... read more

Big Baller B - genre : bradboy
10

A post-ironic waste of everyone's time.

The beats… there are no beats. genre : bradboy is seven minutes of wobbling sheet metal. It's barely even comedy rap, or rap at all, he is borderline talking and it just so happens to rhyme.

This is some Lil Dicky levels of unfunny, except in THIS case the artist is conscious of how mindless and pointless this is, which is supposed to make it funny again, which to me is bullshit. Any comedic value in this project dissolves within ... read more

Train - I Know
15

The pop mastermind(s) behind Play That Song, Hey Soul Sister, and Train Does Led Zeppelin II are back!
That's right, Pat Monahan & the Trains have returned to pollute the airwaves with their filth!
And by airwaves, I don't mean any Top-40 stations. No, the public has moved on from Train, leaving ZERO room for their parent-pop stink which the 2010's let them get away with.
No, their new single "I Know" resides where all the has-been pop-band's new singles play, THE RADIO AT MY ... read more

Sean Stephens - Sean Stephens
40

This is a half-hour of young Rectangle Man and his guitar.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It's raw, and it's not very good.

I only recommend diving in if you've got a bored thirty minutes to kill. Otherwise, just listen to John Mayer or the Dave Matthews Band or something, I don't know, I don't even listen to either of them.

Future - WE DON'T TRUST YOU
70

"Pillowtalkin', actin' like a fed, dog. I don't need another fake friend, dog."
~

One could argue that Metro Boomin paints himself to a corner on WE NEVER TRUSTED YOU, but I see it as him simply sticking to his strengths as a producer. He knows how to make Southern-flavored trap beats, ergo, here's an album full of Southern trap beats. Ya can't blame a guy for sticking to what he knows, that's what I say.

This time around, Metro teams up with Atlanta trap star Future. The best part ... read more

Benson Boone - Beautiful Things
30

You might recognize Benson Boonson from his brief appearance on Americ—*projectile vomits* sorry, sorry, American Idol *gags* in 2021.
He didn't make it past auditions (because the judges knew better), but the people weren't done with Benny just yet.

Then comes his debut song Ghost Town; it charted in thirteen countries (but only #100 in the States lol), and even found a spot on the radio at my workplace.
Me, personally, I don't like it at all. I think it's a grating, whiny, pointlessly ... read more

Maroon 5 - Middle Ground
40

Adam Levine & His Nameless Marines are back to pollute the airwaves with their mediocrity.
Only now they sound like a proper band for the first time since, what, Animals?

"Middle Ground" is an oh-so-powerful song about how oh-so-divided we are as a… *pulls out megaphone* SOCIETY! And how all Little Adam wants is peace and love and harmony and love and harmony and love and peace.

Adam's crooning of hope is drowned in autotune, he barely even sounds like a human here. ... read more

Nicky Youre - Good Times Go
20

"We can keep on going like we haven't seen the ending."
~

Sunroof Man's debut EP "Good Times Go" is 18-and-a-half minutes of the most dreadful, annoying, artless, lifeless GoodVibez!® musical canned slop I've ever heard.

I hate EVERYTHING about this EP.
I've hated Nicky Youre since his hit single Sunroof hijacked pop music and forced itself to become "song of the summer" in 2022, and became overplayed to DEATH at my workplace.

And my feelings for that ... read more

We Were Sharks - New Low
80

"FUCK THAT FUCK YOU EAT PAVEMENT"
~

I first discovered We Were Sharks when I heard their song Beyond Repair in a Hollister in 2019, I think. It's super speedy and fun easycore jam. It would take me another year until I started listening to more of their material, or until March of NEXT year when I would listen to a whole ass album by them.

Let me start by saying that there's an irony in the album title "New Low" considering that this is probably the ex-Sharks' best ... read more

50

"Sex… I think I had it once."
~

The Sะตั… EP is eleven minutes of loud, laser-y, possibly intoxicated, catwalk-type music. Literally fashion show background music with some guy yelling about topics such as "girls" or "sex" or "sex WITH girls". Written very poorly I should add.

But lyrics aren't priority in club music obviously. They're shitfaced and horny as most rave music is, which leaves either the performance or the beats to make up for ... read more

AJR - God is Really Real
70

"We can't face our feelings, so we're makin' lots of jokes."
~

This is probably AJR's best song.
…Unfortunately, it's a very sad song dedicated to the brothers' ill father, who passed away hours after it premiered.

"God Is Really Real" is a soft piece of folk pop; brief, easy-on-the-ears, and to-the-point: Their dad is bound to a hospital bed, and all everyone wants is for him to recover.
It's certainly the most "un-AJR" sounding song they've ever ... read more
