Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong
80

BCNR try not to drop an album that redirects the course of my life (impossible challenge)

Just like their previous projects, this album is a masterpiece. I prefer Isaac Wood’s vocals in the context of BCNR’s instrumentals but these new vocalists are also fantastic. To get the negatives out of the way, I do wish this album had more energy compared to their previous work. There wasn’t too much power on this project, keeping it laid back throughout, but it was still incredibly ... read more

Spiritbox - Eternal Blue
40

I'd like to say I'm an avid fan of metalcore but this album is just so incredibly mediocre and monotone and it bothers me. I don't dislike the idea of female vocalists in metal, but Courtney LaPlante's melodic parts are so weak and it ruins so much of this album. This is the most generic metalcore album I could possibly listen to made worse by the boring melody and the unreasonable 43 minute length. Only good tracks on this album were Yellowjacket and Holy Roller.

MIKE & Tony Seltzer - Pinball
90

I understand why people see this as a weaker project from MIKE, especially as the closer any hip hop is to being trap, the more critics and such dislike the album, but there is no album, not even by MIKE, that does what this album does for me. The sound of it is pretty unique compared to a lot of his other stuff and there is literally no vibe that can even compare to how this project makes me feel.

Dream Theater - Parasomnia
30

I really do like Dream Theater and it hurts to do this, but there probably wasn't a moment in this record I recall and I was just waiting for it to end the whole time

Boldy James - Permanent Ink
40

I see why people are saying Boldy has to slow down, but if I'm being honest, it doesn't really matter how little time he spends on these albums, but the producer he works with. The main reasons people liked "Manger on McNichols" or "Bo Jackson" so much was because of the production on it. If he does more stuff with Conductor, Alc, or that Sterling Toles guy then we could see another crazy release by Boldy, but until then, this is the type of stuff we're ... read more

ERRA - CURE
40

Not a single song stands out here

Animals as Leaders - Parrhesia
85

I somewhat understand what people dislike about this project, but to me it's like a perfected version of their previous album, "The Madness of Many"

"I agree with the trying to overpower his production part, but I dont think it's due to poor mixing and rather the fact that they do not mesh well whatsoever"
