Paramore - After Laughter
77
Super fun record, but also poignant? This is right down my alley. Not every track is a home run, but it is real solid the whole way through. Paramore be bangin’. Not sure why I joined the hype so late, but better now than later.
Kids See Ghosts - KIDS SEE GHOSTS
100
giving this masterpiece the 100 it deserves. Bar for bar, track for track, beat for beat, this thing sounds perfect. From exploring themes of mental illness, to finding the light in the darkness, the themes explored on this record and the way they are explored is extraordinary. Cudi has never sounded better and this is arguably the best Kanye has sounded as well. It’s an instant classic that seems to get better on every listen.
boygenius - Not Strong Enough
97
admittedly, it’s a pretty simple song; but that gives the track space to exist without being distracting to its own message. the metaphors and message to this song is my favorite that has come out in the singles so far. the song also sounds absolutely fantastic. can’t wait to hear what the rest sounds like. this is the best track so far.
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
100
YA YOU BLEED JUST TO KNOW YOURE ALIVE
Black Country, New Road - Live at Bush Hall
95
oh.. so they just can’t miss then? this goes HARD!! My jaw is still dropped. Isaac will be missed, but it is apparent that they will continue to make masterpieces even with him gone. the band is full of leads and full of insane talent. This performance is a masterpiece. I’ll definitely be watching this many times throughout the year.
