i highly recommend listening to this before reading below the 2nd asterisk line as i believe this album is a storytelling masterpiece and should be listened to blindly, however thats not for everyone!

i never listened to clipse as a group, never heard of malice, and the most pusha T ive ever listened to was his verse on runaway. i didnt really know what to expect with this, but it got so much praise when it dropped so i was expecting it to at least be pretty good. but damn. literally on the first track i was already blown away with the production and lyricism and those first 5 tracks have the potential to be one of the best 5 track runs of 2025 period. like wow. tyler on POV really surprised ... read more

another AMAZING JID PROJECT!! wrk definitely had me excited but i was pretty disappointed with the preluxe, and as such my hype for the album died out a fair bit. since then i've had vanisher drop and to get the hype of new drops again i began to get excited for this project again. i wasnt expecting anything too crazy like i believe forever story is, just some great rap. but this definitely exceeded my expectations!! the hidden features definitely added personality on the first listen, and ... read more

what the fuck. i have never heard an ethel song prior to listening, and i thought oh this is going to be a nice new experience! i cant wait to listen to a new artist! im going to have such a grand time! no. absolutely not. this is possibly the most soul crushing experience an album has ever put me through. i first listened while half asleep and just wanting to put it on since it had just came out, and i remember dust bowl actually made me wake up for a second. i was like "shit, i actually ... read more

one of the lucky few who got to listen early, but still the first time listening to this on streaming is like nothing else. the production immerses you into a life stuck at sea that you can't escape from until you drown at the end. i still have yet to dive deep into the true meaning on the album, but what i've found on the surface is enough to make me fall in love. this is quadecas most unique project yet, with production ive simply never experienced before, and with all this work put ... read more

okay dev!! im pretty happy with this as her debut!! you can really hear the versatility in this one!! her vocals on media train surprised me in the best way the first time i heard it. and what a closer nothing changes is!! wow. i think it could be a little inconsistent at times, and that dev definitely has more in her than this. but that just makes me excited to see what shes gonna put out next! im happy with this :) except for don't pinch me. those lyrics...

overall: great album!

oh yea oh yea!! i found out about this when the vinyl dropped and i just said fuck it and bought it. but i was definitely not disappointed!! its nice to hear tyler be more raw outside the confines of a narrative or story. maybe these songs are scraps, maybe these are just some tunes that popped up in his head and he wanted to bring to life. whatever it is, i love it. not my favorite of his, but definitely his funnest album yet.

oh yeah. this is what we're here for. i've been ITCHING for a vira album and these 2 singles are actually phenomenal. i love literally everything about this song, the lyrics, the production, the vocals. vira's talent is actually insane and i know shes gonna knock it out the park with her debut. lfg.

DAMN OKAY!! OKAY!!! this was a surprise drop first shown on his livestream on the 4th, and man does this shit hit. this nigga really doesnt give a fuck about anything that happened hes still on this shit lmfao. I love a nigga who don't back down. the production on this is insanely good imo, and drake just flows so well on it. he don't give a fuck about anyone who been trying to downplay him bc he knows hes still one of the greats. this definitely has me excited for iceman now, sss4u ... read more

wow. just wow. before this, all i've heard of lorde was royals and the part of man of the year that was on tiktok. i came with no expectations, and honestly when i started my first listen it didnt really hit for me. i think it was around current affairs where it really clicked how personal this album is. this is easily an album riddled with just raw emotion, you can almost put yourself in lordes shoes. its beautiful really! i haven't felt so emotionally moved by an album since albums ... read more

PRELUXE!! this was pretty good!! behold went so hard and yachty snapped on knew better. as it went on it kinda got old though, since it almost turns into a "how fast can jid rap" contest. i respect his pen but god damn nigga slow down a second!! there is NO need for a 6 minute song with 2 of the fastest rappers i can think of on it. SIX FUCKING MINUTES!! and i thought knew better was long! other than that, really solid ep that still has be looking forward to the album.

overall - ... read more

purity saved me !! the end of the trilogy!! i think this one has to grow on me a little, since i dont think this is as good as the others, however still this was a very great ep! i think the highlights are really the chorus's , which are perfectly made so that you can just SCREAM the chorus like ILL BLEACH MYSELF MY DEARRR or IVE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THATTTT like omggg so good. definitely need to sit with it longer but still very good nonetheless!!

overall - pretty great ep !!

I LOVE SHELLY!!!!!!!! it sucks that this project was only 2 songs, but they were 2 great songs, with one really dominating my listening the past two days. cross your mind is just literal ear candy for me and it was the song that ended my streak of listening to blush only for 3 days in a row lmfao. hartwell is great as well, i love the lyrics to that song but it isnt as catchy as cross your mind was imo. both still great songs! i thought shelly was done so even just 2 songs im grateful for! ... read more

WHAT AN INTROOOOO!! this was my introduction to underscores and i really loved this song. i kinda put it off since i couldnt listen to anything but blush and shelly 2 for days but this is another outstanding release from this year. its a very high energy song and I love that, and the chorus is SOOO addicting wow. i will definitely be hopping on the underscores train after this one

overall - 10/10 song!! yass

this experience is too precious to not be appreciated. blush is my first kevin abstract album, and i think thats good because i really had no idea what i was getting into with this one. and that made it all the more special!! i got turnt and i cried tears, kevin really brought out the best of everyone on this project. really this shit blew my mind. i was losing my mind waiting for it to finally hit midnight but it was worth it and more. seeing everyone involved be so passionate about this ... read more

wow. i recently got this on vinyl after falling in love with BOAF, then WILDFLOWER, then THE GREATEST. i had listened to it in full maybe twice prior, but the day I bought it I listened to it on repeat. and wow. i guess i forgot how well-crafted these songs are, and i was so pleasantly surprised overall. if you told me the girl who made bad guy would make one of my favorite albums ever i would've called you insane, but here we are. this is literally perfectly crafted. this is how it feels ... read more

yesssss!!!!!!!!!!! i found esha on the way to miami with "bad decision!" and instantly became invested. i really like her singing and it surprised me that she wasn't too popular yet. i remember seeing that wraith released and starting to listen but i didnt get the chance to finish it. but now i did, and im glad i did!! i think you were mine blew up and she got a lot of traction which is great!! because this definitely deserves it! i had only heard empty pages prior to its release ... read more

second installment of the purity trilogy and wow. literally just peak like theres no words. i REALLY love this type of music. you can scream it and i love it. i really wanna see him live. this ep although i dont think overall its as good as purity, it has sapphire and i feel sick, which imo are easily some of if not his best songs ever. like really wow. this was a great send off of 2024 for him and i hope psm lives up to the other two. ive listened to all of these songs basically all year and i ... read more

oh my god. i forgot how good sodistilled is lmao. his music brings me back to a time where i was just getting into i guess "shoegaze" music but really more rock type music and sodistilled and violent vira were the two that brought me into loving this type of music. a 4 song ep didnt seem like it would be much at first, but i ended up loving every damn song. i now know this is the first of the purity trilogy with the final installment coming at midnight, so fun!! sodistilleds music has ... read more

i remember finding out this dropped on twitter at like 00:50 because everyone on the tl started talking about it and i was like "wait holy shit did they actually drop it??" and THEY DID!! i was terrified i wouldnt like it because i loved the singles but twice removed was kinda underwhelming for me. and then psychoboost played. it ended up being my favorite listen this year so far BY far because holy shit. this was my album of the year by far until morning forevers came out, which this ... read more
