Midori sample is so so so peak. I haven't listened to a lot of hyperpop yet but this is one of my favorites.

Perfect

Peak (no 2007 means not perfect)

Genuinely on par with TFS its so hard to compare the two they both get perfect ratings. AOTY 2025 w TBWPTH and Half Blood.

Idc how freaked out it was this album was gas. Still second to Hardstone but its not like Dons getting worse its just different. I wasn't as into it first listen but after my next few I really fucked with it. Best mainstream aoty by far.

This is the first full length Hommy project I've listened to and i really liked it. 2013 and plots moving were my favorites. I think sen and retractions were my least favorites but probably only because they were under 2 minutes and it's hard for me to be as immersed with this type of instrumental music when its so short. Overall this was a good listen and will probably be heavy in rotation with the other unknown nation instrumental projects that have dropped this year.

I think album doesn’t set itself apart from the rest of the pop world as much as GUTS did, but the foundations of what made GUTS unique are clearly audible and the project is still very enjoyable.

Makes the original better. Everything about my music taste makes me hate girl I’ve always been but it’s not that awful. Scared of my guitar is a masterpiece and so American does the whole tie-together thing teenage dream did but with the American motif which adds another layer of meaning to a lot of the angst expressed on the album. Stranger is my favorite OR song ever.

Rodrigoat masterfully ties the whole album together with teenage dream which echoes all-American bitch with a mood that’s developed and expressed in the whole album. A couple years ago I never would’ve given this a chance but thank god I did.

Thanks Arcane and Des for the rec. This is the second city pop album I did after Timely and I don’t think I liked it as much but it was still super good. No misses

My first Japanese city pop album and it’s pretty damn good. This will be seeing a lot of rotation this summer. The melodies are so catchy.

I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t this. Not sure if he’s figured out you can separate the songs in the EP. Very excited to get a full-length project from him considering all the experimentation on here.

Really great and raw rap project and my first Blu & Exile listen. The features on here hit hard and there’s no misses.

I really enjoyed this project and it’s so different from everything. Styrofoam and discard are probably my favorites. Thanks Emma and Gierbur for the rec.

Very enjoyable and reminiscent of the great music weve gotten from ceekayy this year. DIdn't love blue birds persnally but a very enjoyable project overall. Shoutout monkye for the beats on a couple of these I am all for these collabs I hope they keep coming.

Didnt like Chapter 16 first listen but it’s grown on me. This is the perfect Dave album in my opinion. Every song is hard hitting and introspective and I think this is even better than WAAITT.

I wasn’t giving this its proper respect in 2025 but as I’ve gotten more into rage and i look back its top 3. The blueprint for a rage album right now. The digicore is beautiful and I’m glad this album got me into the genre. I’d probably have given this something in the 90s but in retrospect nothing disappoints.

This cover was perfect until bloodluxe- 10/10

This was my first underscores album and it was pretty solid. Some parts felt a little empty but it was a very enjoyable listen.

This cover is evil- 0/10

Rec from @desguy. I’m a hyperpop demon now. This is peak 0 misses.

There was no topping Half Blood but this came pretty close. The less interesting tracks here are only forgotten because they’re surrounded by peak. Waera and Slayr cannot disappoint. I feel like I would have given this a 100 if the original half of this didn't exist.

11/10 cover
