FAVORITE TRACKS: Only Shallow, When You Sleep, I Only Said, Sometimes, Blown a Wish, What You Want
LEAST FAVORITE: Loomer

On "Loveless", My Bloody Valentine crafts a great shoegaze album that blends dream pop and rock effortlessly. I'll start off by saying that the instrumentals on this thing are fantastic with some crazy guitar riffs on the opening and closing tracks "Only Shallow" and "Soon". I also love the dreamy vocals all over this album that made for some ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Elle, Lemonade, Hard, MSMSMSM, Just Like We Never Said Goodbye
LEAST FAVORITE: L.O.V.E.

I would like to start off this review by saying rest in peace to SOPHIE, she was an extremely talented producer who helped further the careers of so many growing pop artists in the 2010s, and my prayers go out to her family and friends. My first introduction to SOPHIE was through her production on Charli XCX's 2016 project, "Vroom Vroom" that featured some stellar production. ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Knife Under My Pillow, GASLIGHT!, Scissorhands, Different, It's Not Your Fault
LEAST FAVORITE: Love Songs

On "Paranoia", Maggie Lindemann delivers a great collection of bangers that take influence from pop-punk, metal, and even trap in places. I first found out about Maggie Lindemann through an ad on Instagram, which I typically skip past, but her voice really grabbed my attention along with the nostalgic early 2000s punk sound that is found in the track "Knife ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Alphabet, Born in Luton, March Day, Water in the Well, Human, for a Minute, Great Dog
LEAST FAVORITE: n/a

I'll preface this by saying that while I have heard of the genre post-punk, admittedly I had never given it a chance until now with this new shame album, "Drunk Tank Pink", and this thing is great. With this being my first listen to a post-punk album I didn't really know what to expect, but one thing I quickly fell in love with was the instrumentals on this ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: All of them
LEAST FAVORITE: n/a

I thoroughly enjoy this new EP, "Blame Game" from indie rock/pop group, Beach Bunny. While this project is on the shorter side with 4 tracks, I think this is a step up from their 2020 release, "Honeymoon" which I also loved. I think this EP is a step up instrumentally, vocally, and feels a lot more focused topic wise. There's not too much I have to say about this one other than it is a fun and entertaining listen but still ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Toxic, Cry, L8r Boi, Good While It Lasted
LEAST FAVORITE: Slumber Party, Drunk with My Friends

With "DEMIDEVIL" Ashnikko is able to deliver on some great shining moments that really show her artistic potential for the future, but ultimately fall short to some of the production choices and mediocre tracks that dominate a good portion of this thing. "Toxic" is a banger with its hard hitting beat, and extremely catchy chorus. "Cry" I would say is ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: We Will Always Love You, Interstellar Love, We Go On, Until Daylight Comes, Wherever You Go, Take Care in Your Dreaming, Always Black, Running Red Lights
LEAST FAVORITE: Overcome

On "We Will Always Love You" by The Avalanches we get some great soundscapes and thematic ideas but ultimately they can't come together fully with this tracklist sequencing and how drawn out the album is as a whole for me. I will start this off by saying I love what The Avalanches were going ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Get Ugly, Heatin Up, Grace, Live Off My Closet, Emotionally Scarred, Forever, Consistent, Gang Signs
LEAST FAVORITE: Same Thing

"My Turn" is a really solid collection of bangers from Atlanta trap artist, Lil Baby. Prior to listening to this album fully, I had mixed views about Lil Baby as an artist. I have loved a few of his songs in the past such as "Chastised" and "Yes Indeed", as well as his freestyle on Fire in the Booth. Overall though, I ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Hunter, Joga, Bachelorette, All Neon Like, Alarm Call, Pluto, All Is Full of Love
LEAST FAVORITE: n/a

"Homogenic" is a fantastic art pop record from Icelandic singer, songwriter, and producer, Björk. I really don't even know where to start with this one. What drew me in immediately through the first track, "Hunter", was Björk's absolutely gorgeous vocals along with the amazing ambient production, which is something that seems to be consistent ... read more

Edit: Original Score (81)

This has easily become one of the most fun listens of 2020 for me, hands down. Also I wouldn't say "Teen X" is the worst track anymore, it's really starting to grow on me heavily.

FAVORITE TRACKS: Go2DaMoon, Stop Breathing, M3tamorphosis, New Tank, Vamp Anthem, New N3on, Control, On That Time, King Vamp, Sky, Over, Die4Guy, F33l Lik3 Dyin
LEAST FAVORITE: Teen X

"Whole Lotta Red" is the highly anticipated trap record from Atlanta rapper, Playboi ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: cardigan, the last great american dynasty, exile, seven, august, this is me trying, illicit affairs, epiphany
LEAST FAVORITE: invisible string

"folklore" is a great showing of songwriting and beautiful melodies for Taylor Swift. The "Teenage Love Triangle" part of the album that contains "cardigan", "august", and "betty" is fantastic and I liked how it was a story that we as listeners were given time to digest, as there are 6 ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Prom Queen, 6 Weeks, Adulting
LEAST FAVORITE: Painkiller

After listening to the fantastic record "Honeymoon" earlier this year I thought I'd revisit some of Beach Bunny's work starting with Prom Queen. While this record doesn't hit as hard as "Honeymoon" it still delivers in songwriting and great lyrics especially on the track "Adulting" that I felt myself relating to. The title track "Prom Queen" is also great in its lyrics with it's ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Water Over Sex, I Get Cut, The Flu, Moth, When You Die
LEAST FAVORITE: Dropout

On "The Lamb" we get a decent batch of indie rock tracks from singer, Lala Lala, also known as Lillie West. Right off the bat coming in as a new listener I was thoroughly impressed by her poetic songwriting throughout the album. She is also able to create a nice atmosphere within these songs and I love that each song has a purpose here as well. "I Get Cut" and "Moth" ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Face of My City, Funny Seeing You Here, Tyler Herro, WHATS POPPIN
LEAST FAVORITE: Way Out

"That's What They All Say" isn't a bad album by any means from Kentucky rapper, Jack Harlow. This project has some bangers especially "Face of My City" that features some great flows and verses from both Jack and Lil Baby with a crazy beat behind it. "Funny Seeing You Here" is also a decent song that features some good storytelling that I would like to see ... read more

"Man On The Moon III: The Chosen" by Kid Cudi is a fantastic psychedelic trap/rap album that delivers in its themes, lyricism, production, and flows. There's so much about this album that I genuinely love whether it's the moody and spacey psychedelic beats or the new flows that Cudi experiments with and delivers quite well. Or the emotion he is able to deliver especially in Act IV for me and the themes that Cudi carries through not ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Hang On Me, Pills, Masseduction, Sugarboy, Los Ageless, Happy Birthday Johnny, New York, Young Lover
LEAST FAVORITE: Fear the Future

In "Masseduction" by St. Vincent we are treated to glamorous production, vulnerable songwriting, and powerful vocals. St. Vincent is able to effortlessly deliver emotional bangers such as "New York" and "Young Lover" but also delivers grandly produced synthpop tracks such as "Masseduction" and "Los ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Beef FloMix, Pockets Bigger, Weak, 19, Pussycat Doll
LEAST FAVORITE: May I

Flo Milli delivers a batch of bangers in this new mixtape "Ho, why is you here". This is my first listen of her and honestly I must say I do appreciate her expressive delivery and entertaining lyricism and decent flows. After hearing the track "Weak" I would love to see her do more songs over 90s rnb samples and it was a good change of pace away from the trap sound that dominates ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Clouds Rest, Siren, Ordinary Talk, My Best Self, Halogen 2
LEAST FAVORITE: Lapsing

Half Waif comes through with some gorgeous, ambient soundscapes on this new record "The Caretaker". Throughout this thing we get vulnerable and emotional lyrics and songwriting especially towards the end with tracks such as "Generation" and "Window Place". We are also treated to some pretty, floaty vocals from Half Waif that effortlessly glides over the production ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: Beef Rap, Hoe Cakes, One Beer, Deep Fried Frenz, Kon Queso, Vomitspit, Kookies
LEAST FAVORITE: The skits

MF Doom comes through with a great album centered around food that contains fantastic lyricism and classic experimental and boom bap production. This album contains some of the best double entendres and rhyme schemes I've ever heard along with Doom's effortless and laid back flows. What may be a downside for me personally was the 4 track run of skits in the middle of the ... read more

FAVORITE TRACKS: All of them except least favorites
LEAST FAVORITE: California, SCREAM

This an absolute beautiful album from Grimes that is filled head to doe with gorgeous soundscapes. On this project Grimes comes through with emotional and heartfelt vocals and lyrics, great production, and decent song structure. I don't have much to say about this right now because I'm still trying to process it all and the chorus for "Butterfly" is still stuck in my head. If you're into electronic ... read more
