Jeff Rosenstock - HELLMODE

Diagnosis: Alive & Stable😴

Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever
70

Diagnosis: Alive & Stable😴

Fav Tracks: I Didn't Change My Number, Billie Bossa Nova, Oxytocin, OverHeated, NDA, Happier Than Ever
Least Fav: Not My Responsibility, Everybody Dies

Happier Than Ever, the sophomore album by young star Billie Eilish, has a lot to unpack. While, Billie, deals with growing up in the limelight she also dives into themes of relationships, abuse, and even some sexual subject matter. As always we see her brother FINNEAS orchestrating the production that is ... read more

Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR
75

Diagnosis: Alive & Well❤️

Fav Tracks: brutal, deja vu, good 4 u, enough for you, jealousy, jealousy, favorite crime
Least Fav: drivers license

Olivia Rodrigo released her debut single “drivers license” back in January and it spread like wild fire. There really wasn’t a space on the internet you could go without this song popping up. Now a few months removed, we get her debut album Sour, which I expect to also do huge numbers. And for good reason. This album is a teen ... read more

J. Cole - The Off-Season
65

Diagnosis: Alive & Stable😴

Fav Tracks: punchin’ the clock, pride is the devil, let go my hand, close, hunger on hillside
Least Fav: 100.mil’

What do you remember the first time you heard The Come Up, The Warm Up, and Friday Night Lights. Bars! Articulate Bars! J. Cole is now somewhat recapturing that idea with his new album The Off-Season. This is an album not a mixtape anymore so I’m expecting Cole at the top of his game. While he does come through with some great ... read more

BROCKHAMPTON - ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE
70

Diagnosis: Alive & Stable😴

Fav Tracks: Bankroll, The Light, Windows, What’s The Occasion, Don’t Shoot Up The Party, Dear Lord, The Light PT. II
Least Fav: Chain On, I’ll Take You On

Here we go. Ok, I’m going to start out by saying the new Brockhampton album ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE is a tough one to judge. The hip-hop/ R&B boy band has decided to remove some of their more pop sounds with this record. We see one of the band members, Joba, now more ... read more

Demi Lovato - Dancing With The Devil…The Art of Starting Over
50

Diagnosis: unknown👽

Fav Tracks: ICU (Madison’s Lullabye), The Art Of Starting Over, The Way You Don’t Look At Me, My Girlfriends Are My Boyfriend
Least Fav: 15 Minutes, California Sober

It's been 4 years since Demi’s last album release and a lot has transpired since 2017. Most people probably know about Demi’s past, and if you don’t her new album Dancing With The Devil…The Art of Starting Over covers this topic pretty well. The vulnerability displayed ... read more

Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails Over the Country Club
50

Diagnosis: unknown👽

Fav Tracks: White Dress, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Dark But Just a Game
Least Fav: Let Me Love You Like A Women, Breaking Up Slowly

Lana Del Rey has had a somewhat controversial year after her 6th studio album Norman Fucking Rockwell! released in 2019. Now she’s back with a her new album Chemtrails Over the Country Club that features 11 songs that runs 45 minutes in length. I think over the past year fame and judgement has effected, Lana, maybe putting her ... read more

Justin Bieber - Justice
35

Vital Status: Dead💀

Fav Tracks: Off My Face, Hold On, Peaches, Lonely
Least Fav: Somebody, Love You Different, Love By You

I’m just going to start off by saying the show Atlanta predicted the title of this album 5 years ago. To me that suggests Justin Bieber’s new album Justice is going to be quit predictable as well. Coming off of his 2020 released album Changes I’d really hope for a more calculated project. Honestly, all I want is anything better then the song ... read more

GROUPLOVE - This is This
35

Vital Status: Dead💀

Fav Tracks: Deadline, Oxygen Swimming
Least Fav: Primetime, This Is The End, Seagulls, Shake That Ass, Shout

The lackluster title of Grouploves 5th studio album perfectly sums up how the record plays out over 9 songs and 33 minutes of runtime. The alternative rock band brings out a very formulaic approach to their new album This Is This. Most of the tracks here run very similar with lead vocals, Hannah Hooper, controlling the majority of the singing until inevitably ... read more

Genesis Owusu - Smiling With No Teeth
85

Vital Status: Alive & Well❤️

Fav Tracks: On the Move!, The Other Black Dog, Centrefold, Don’t Need You, Drown, I Don’t See Colour, Black Dogs!, Whip Cracker, A Song About Fishing, Bye Bye
Least Fav: Gold Chains

Kofi Owusu-Ansah, known by his stage name of Genesis Owusu, has delivered his fist studio album Smiling with No Teeth. Apple Music has categorized this in the genre of Alternative Rap and in all honesty, I wasn’t really sure what Alternative Rap even meant. I ... read more

Florida Georgia Line - Life Rolls On
10

Vital Status: Dead 💀

Fav Tracks: Interlude
Least Fav: Long Live, Life Looks Good, Countryside, Always Gonna Love You, I Love My Country, Long Time Comin’, Ain’t Worried Bout It, Beer:30, New Truck, U.S. Stronger, Life Rolls On

Jesus, god where to start. Florida Georgia Line is out with their 5th studio album and they keep finding ways to talk about beer, trucks, and a the one thing America needs right now…….. an American country anthem. Life Rolls On has 16 ... read more

Black Dresses - Forever In Your Heart
65

Vital Status: Alive & Stable😴

Fav Tracks: Bulldozer, Heaven, Waiting 42moro, We’ll Figure it Out, Perfect Teeth, Zero Ultra, (Can’t) Keep It Together
Least Fav: Concrete Bubble, Silver Bells, Gone In An Instant

Black Dresses has created some of the weirdest sounds through combining genres of electric, industrial rock, noise rock, and metal with such sweet and ear wrenching vocals that it almost doesn’t make sense. The now disbanded band has decided to remain broken ... read more

slowthai - TYRON
70

Vital Status: Alive & Stable😴

Fav Tracks: 45 SMOKE, MAZZA, VEX, i tried, push, feel away, adhd
Least Fav: PLAY WITH FIRE

Slowthai is now embarking on his sophomore LP with Tyron. Following up his incredible debut album Nothing Great About Britain that showed us the harsh, gritty, political, and unapologetic version of himself, we now get a more introspective look into who Slowthai truly is. At 35 minutes in runtime there is a lot packed into this album.

Side-note: Nothing Great About ... read more

Weezer - OK Human
85

Vital Status: Alive & Well❤️

Fav Tracks: All My Favorite Songs, Aloo Gobi, Grapes of Wrath, Numbers, Playing My Piano, Bird With A Broken Wing, Dead Roses

Least Fav: Screens

The Pop Rock band Weezer is back with their 14th studio album OK Human. The title of this album is interesting because it plays off of Radiohead’s 1997 album OK Computer that I believe is one of the great albums of the 90s. OK Human relies heavily on beautiful orchestral sounds that carry much of this ... read more

Madlib - Sound Ancestors
80

Vital Status: Alive & Well❤️

Fav Tracks: The Call, Road of the Lonely Ones, Dirtknock, Loose Goose, Two for 2- For Dilla, Duumbiyay
Least Fav: Hang Out (Phone Off)

Does anyone make instrumentation like Madlib? I think the answer would be no. Madlib is one of the great producers who has given us classics like Madvillainy, Pinata, and most recently Bandana. Having collaborative albums like the ones above seems simple when you have MF DOOM and Freddie Gibbs jumping on your beats. But, ... read more

Playboi Carti - Whole Lotta Red
70

Vital Status: Alive & Stable😴
Fav Tracks: Rockstar Made, Stop Breathing, Vamp Anthem, Control, On That Time, Sky, Die4Guy
Least Fav: Go2DaMoon, JumpOutTheHouse, Punk Monk

Whole Lotta Red is flawed, Whole Lotta Red is abrasive, Whole Lotta Red is hypnotic, Whole Lotta Red is fresh….

Carti has teased fans with his new album Whole Lotta Red for about 2 years now and finally released this 24 track LP on Christmas Day. If you’re not a fan of Playboi Carti’s music you may ... read more

Paul McCartney - McCartney III
70

Vital Status: Alive & Stable😴
Analogy: You find out your grandfather still rocks!

I feel like this artist needs no introduction so without further ado Paul McCartney, former member of The Beatles, has released his new album McCartney III. How many more albums does Paul have left in him? Who knows! But here we are gifted with some excellent instrumentation and Paul sounds quite good vocally for his age.

Right from the start we can here that the production and mix is great and the guitar ... read more

Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon III: The Chosen
55

Vital Status: Unknown
Analogy: Just imagine Kid Cudi singing all of Travis Scott features

For a long time Kid Cudi never thought another Man On the Moon album would come out, but here we are 10 years later and Kid Cudi has put out the 3rd installment of Man On the Moon. As a listener I wouldn’t get too hung up on the album title even though it can be nostalgic.

What was once a unique and forward pushing sound for Hip-Hop has now become the norm and Man On the Moon III feels way passed ... read more

Taylor Swift - evermore
65

Vital Status: Alive & Stable
Analogy: You’re lying in your bed, just thinking, with nothing to do all day and end up falling asleep

Taylor Swift is really pushing her new alt/folk sound by releasing her 2nd album of 2020. Evermore is the follow up album to Folklore (released in July, 2020) and by all accounts a sister album. Evermore‘s condition is Alive & Stable but compared to Folklore it is the weaker of the two.

No one quite writes a pop song like Swift and her being ... read more

Rico Nasty - Nightmare Vacation
60

Vital Status: Alive & Stable 😴
Analogy: You’re use to someone yelling at you and when they don’t your relationship
with them feels unnatural

HERE WE GO! FIRST LOOK AT RICO NASTY’S DEBUTE STUDIO ALBUM NIGHTMARE VACATION!!! I hope you read that opening sentence while SCREAMING! because a lot of this album to put it plan and simple is Rico screaming. Okay, maybe not screaming but Rico’s raspy voice suites her signature style of a harsh, loud, and in your face ... read more
