Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
90

White version of Smooth Criminal unironically goes hard.

I appreciate the liberties taken on this song to the point where it almost sounds independent of the Michael original. Aside from the obvious Nu-Metal based timbre, the song was noticeably faster paced with looming pedal notes removed from the pre chorus and chorus to make the song feel tighter. Also the music video is simply fantastic. A proper slice of the 2000s and has honestly become a part of the music experience.

JPEGMAFIA - EXPERIMENTAL RAP
20

I don't feel like writing a nuanced review about this album, I just want JPEGMAFIA to shut up and leave my bitch alone.

Queens of the Stone Age - Burn the Witch
95

This has one of my favourite irrelevant music facts, being that Billy Gibbons does backing vocals and Jack Black does the stomps and claps. Regardless, as a standalone track 'Burn The Witch' proves less is more, with a strong bass riff ruling the song over a catchy drum rhythm. Definitely one of the most underrated Queens songs.

Olivia Rodrigo - the cure
95

Maybe some of the best songwriting modern pop music has seen in the 2020s. If Olivia keeps this pace for the rest of the album, then she could very well hit her stride and release her best material.

Muse - Hexagons
95

Very surprising single from Muse considering I've never bothered to check out one of their albums, but perhaps I've been missing out. I really enjoyed the immersive soundscape and the risks taken on this song, such as the compound signatures or use of rubato in the guitar riff. I also liked how the lyrics blended fantasy and politics, but that's basically what you'd expect from Muse; well, at least from what I know.
