2020 Catch-Up, Finale: Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 2.
At last, the 2020 Catch-Up is done, and I feel it's pretty appropriate to end it with Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 2, not only because of how appropriate the title is considering the past year, but because it's one of the most obviously good projects of last year. Even with the EP's short runtime of 26 minutes, Tkay Maidza is able to effectively establish her rapping, songwriting, and vocal talents with a metric butt ton of insanely memorable ... read more

Nobody is Listening.
It's strange that a commercial release from a former 1D member would go under the radar, right? Not really, actually, because though it seems that ZAYN's solo career came and went as fast as Louis' or Liam's, he's been able to hold onto fans for years, proven by the confusing chart success of Icarus Falls and the twenty-one million monthly Spotify listeners he somehow has. Getting a headstart with the hugely popular Pillowtalk, ZAYN nabbed hundreds of millions of those 1D ... read more

Weasel's K-Pop Adventures, Part III: Feel Special.
Feel Special is eight tracks and twenty-three minutes of I expected to get out of Blackpink's THE ALBUM: feel-good K-Pop bops that demonstrate the artists' great vocal prowess and chemistry and competent rap flows, and the ability to create super sticky hooks refrains. The mostly-Korean team of beat-makers also demonstrate tons of producer prowess, creating instrumentals that seem annoyingly earwormy on the surface, but reveal themselves to be ... read more

Love Yourself 結 'Answer'.
A detrimentally common problem with every BTS release under the sun, whether bite-sized, perfectly-paced, or hour-long, is that the project's focal story or narrative takes a backseat for the sake of variety. And when I say every BTS release, I mean EVERY one of them (besides BE, but 🤫). Most of the time, the tonal and narrative inconsistency of a BTS release leaves minimal damage, as, for example, many of the group's EPs (e.g. Love Yourself 承 'Her' or The ... read more

My Dirty Fantasy Dreams.
As is the case with the rest of the world, sex-haver MALNEEZY's new year isn't off to a great start, as My Dirty Fantasy Dreams managed to be a rare miscalculation for the Insomnia Café elite. Whereas most other MALNEEZY efforts were cleanly-cut and correctly calculated, My Dirty Fantasy Dreams lacks a lot of cohesion between the mixtape's eighteen tracks, and opts for the dangerous approach of quantity over quality, with there being just as many phenomenal ... read more

It's a 10/10 from KKB!♪
Kero Kero Bonito is of course most known for the cutesy, colorful, and feel-good electropop they debuted with, but over the course of KKB's career the band have surprisingly moved past what appeared to be a trademark sound. Such a daring move is already respectable enough, but the fact that the trio of twee were able to put out two projects that are not only completely different from Bonito Generation, but also completely ... read more

It’s been quite the adventure since you first reviewed Death, and I’m very proud to say I’ve known you for awhile and to say that I’ve seen you grow. Happy 2021

Hello, I hope you're having a good day. I am reaching out in regards to my next AOTY Icon Interview. If you're unfamiliar with the series I crowdsource for questions. This time around for January 2021 edition, I will be interviewing PipePanic. The question is, what is a music-related question you can ask Pipe. Please refrain from asking questions as simple as "What is your favorite album?" Please also refrain from asking for thoughts about a specific album or asking joke questions. I ask that you ask something thought-provoking and ambiguous. I will be selecting the best questions to ask Pipe. If you can't think of any questions, you have a week to think about it. I also recommend checking my shoutbox before asking the question just to verify it hasn't been asked already. All participants will be credited for their questions. The interview will be posted by the end of the month. Thank you!

Hello reaIreaIweaseI, I hope you're having a great day! If you have any interest in participating in a list I'm making, here's the prompt:
Aliens have come down from a previously unknown planet, and touch down right in front of your house. You come outside, and they speak English somehow, but they ask you for one thing- to give them a human album. You have an MP3 player, but it only can hold one album of any length. You can give the aliens any album for any reason, but please explain why you chose the album you chose.
Thank you for answering (if you do), and have a great day!

Hey everyone, Real Weasel here. I'm the front one, if that wasn't clear. Resident Plants vs. Zombies fanboy and Chad Quavo enjoyer. I frequently change my ratings, so if a review doesn't match then it's probably outdated. Feel free to self-promote or recommend music in my Shoutbox! Just don't be annoying about it.
