Trump may have raped babies and is responsible for an uncountable number of people across the world getting killed, but it's okay! We called him an orange man and a nazi (sympathizer, let's not get TOO crazy with our language here.)

I love a lot of Owusu's music and, to it's credit, this is overall an incredibly produced project. Save for a stinker or two, the production and features on this thing are fantastic, as is Owusu's writing... almost. See, unlike his previous ... read more

Endlessly cool album. From start to finish it's just such an interesting and varied experience full of badass latin-infused instrumentation and vocals that compliment every song amazingly, this is definitely worth checking out and revisiting.

Surprisingly solid, I didn't think I would love it and the... interesting Kendrick feature was a choice, but the second half of this project starting at I am not a Lyricist picks up the pace and makes this a pretty warranted follow-up to The Melodic Blue.

We get it, man. We know. You're really cool and awesome and make money or whatever. I got that from the first five albums where you said this. You're also a great producer dude. You said that already. And, oh what's this, you're EDGY? WOW! I NEVER KNEW THAT! THANKS FOR TELLING ME AGAIN! I almost forgot how edgy you were when you called yourself Black Ben Carson, or when you made a song about getting horny from killing cops, or when you had that other song about how happy ... read more

I'm not really sure if I can properly articulate how I feel about this album. Every song is short to the point of feeling like a rough draft and Bowie has such little presence on the album (hardly even being on half the album), with Low practically turning into an Eno project. Even so, the exact same things that would make this album feel like nothing more than scattered concepts end up coming together to turn Low into a delightfully macabre listen. Bowie was a broken man at the time of ... read more

Unsurprisingly, Drake is at his best when he is having fun. This album is proof of that, at least partially. The first couple tracks have a little bite to them! Hoe Phase and Road Trips have this really fun, catchy groove that remind me of Nokia, a song I pretty thoroughly enjoyed! Then Drake goes "oh wait, I'm Drake, I'm supposed to be all moodie and sad and ICE COLD MOTHAFUCKAAAA IM SO FUCKING RICH AHHAHAHA I DONT EVEN HAVE TO FUCKING TRY I HAVE A FANBASE COMPRISED OF FUCKING ... read more

This is the worst R&B album ever made.

I've always felt like Drake's R&B potential was never really all that despite having a few stellar highlights early on in his discography with scraps of that energy showing their heads in the form of songs like Passionfruit or the criminally underrated Race My Mind. The thing about most R&B singers, though, that makes them feel like, well, R&B is that passionate soul-rending singing and equally vivid lyricism. I can genuinely ... read more

Some people never change.

What can I even say? I can't even call it another Drake album because even that has gotten repetitive and stale. This is nothing. He just wasted everyone's time. He didn't learn anything. He didn't say anything new. There aren't even any songs on here that are good for late-stage Drake standards. This music is for pigs, and I truly, genuinely believe anyone who claims this album to be even remotely okay should be killed and fed to fellow fans ... read more

I wanted to like this album more than I actually did. the constant drumming and high energy fatigues the album after a while and the second half of the project may as well be one long track arbitrarily split into several pieces. Outside of a couple tracks, this album feels like getting punched by a ghost. Sure, it's brutal, but it's in one end and out the other with no real meaningful takeaway or impact. Just kind of exists.

This shit is seriously beautiful. From start to finish it incorporates all sorts of musical styles that all just WORK. Everything blends into each other perfectly and, while no Since I Left You, is a fierce competitor. Aquamarine is a genuine 10/10 song btw there is literally nothing remotely wrong with a song like that, just 6 whole minutes and 20 seconds of levitating out of my mortal coil

I actually really like the instrumentals on this project. It's bouncy, noisy and really fun and I think that abrasiveness is the closest Stomach Book comes to achieving what they wanted to make with a project like this. The biggest things holding this project back is the fucking delivery and writing. Oh my fucking god. A lot of people who swear that instruments matter more than music because "oh if the song sounds good i don't care if the lyrics are boring because the actual ... read more

I thought the album would get a little tiring after the first couple of tracks didn't really shake things up for me, but after An Ending (Ascent) the album switches up drastically for the better. Song after song after song come in and hit stronger than the last. In particular, the run from Silver Morning to Always Returning is genuinely godly. Overall a very solid listen and a reminder that Brian Eno is really one of the best to ever do it.

While Ben may not be my friend, this album sounds absolutely phenomenal and is WAY ahead of the curve, coming out years before acts like LCD Soundsystem or songs like Fireflies took this sound into such greater heights in terms of popularity. From start to finish, this is a project that is both equally fun and catchy as it is poetic and deeply emotional. Clark Gable in particular might slowly be one of my favorite songs of all time with how manic it sounds and is on a lyrical level. Speaking of ... read more

It's not bad per se with pretty good production overall, but the songs themselves are way too short to leave any lasting impressions. What makes matters worse is that, even though the songs would be short just off runtimes, there are several songs here that feature have nearly a third of their runtimes dedicated to riding out the track. I was excited to see bedtime? with a semi-decently long runtime of five minutes and, while it is pretty handily the best song on the album just because ... read more

It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to listen to a new album in full. I've just been pretty busy relistening to old stuff I like. That being said, of all projects to break that hiatus, I chose a REALLY good one. I actually enjoy Mangum' vocals a lot, and barring one or two tracks in the middle, I don't have a single issue with this project.

It's honestly not that bad but I don't really care anymore

Really crisp and emotional where it needs to be. I wish that a third of the album wasn't released prior to the actual album release via singles, but every song on here is good and it serves its role as a very cathartic new phase in Parker and RiTchie's lives.

I remember the first time I listened to a J. Cole project. It was a toasty summer day during Ramadan several years ago and I had been picked up from school after throwing up, having pushed myself too hard trying to exercise outdoors. I was exhausted and sick and, I don't know what in particular compelled me to do this, but I decided to listen to 2014 Forest Hills Drive on the car ride home. From then on I slowly and steadily became a fan, falling in love with his work one album after ... read more

Indirect and easily compromisable.

I like what I've heard of Ghais' music and even defended some of the flack he got for The Other 2/5ths but it really feels like something really, really wrong happened with this album. I don't even hate this project per se but it feels like whenever he's on point with his writing, the beat is godawful and sounds like it was cooked on a Sega Saturn. The long sections where he takes clips from his favorite audiobooks and speeds them up to ... read more

I am admittedly a newcomer to Ethel Cain's schtick, so I didn't really know what to expect. Whatever my expectations were, this album comfortably surpassed those as this is a pretty dark album that is handled really well with pretty great concepts and this is coming from someone who is deep in the dronehole with more esoteric artists. While the more traditional songs on the album like Punish and Vacillator do kind of take me out of the darker parts of the album by providing moments of ... read more
