Decided to listen to this album, as it just dropped and I was bored.
It's quite a short 10 track album, another thing short is my attention span to sit through and listen to all of this junk. Wanted to turn it off after the first 3 tracks. I pulled through and listened to it all, I wish I didn't.
How has she managed songs with Travis Scott and Gunna, and it's still horrible??
Please do not listen to this obnoxious and pretentious album.
(EDIT) I mean this album was bad but ... read more
UPDATED REVIEW (original review below this one)
Yeah 2 is the most experimental out of the 3 EPs Scuba released across Summer 2024. From the Pop Rap bangers that are Monologue and The Drive, to the eerie and mysterious last two tracks of Ouroboros and My Buddy and Me, Yeah 2 is an immersive psychedelic experience of almost every genre under the sun, incredible. Who else can make something this wild?

UPDATED REVIEW (original review below this one)
The first EP from Scuba's summer 2024 "Yeah" trilogy is the warmest batch of tracks you'll ever hear. The songwriting is precious, the instrumentals bloom, it's an immersive experience that sends you straight to nature within the first minute. I really can't glaze Scuba enough for these batch of tracks. Wow.

Some of Kanye's best work. Second half of the album is where it kind of loses its focus but overall an amazing album and incredibly influential.
Favourite songs :

EDIT (91-88) grew off me a little bit.
YES. So ambitious and so beautiful, you can tell Tyler really put his all into this album,

In my personal opinion, the hate for this album is so undeserved. When most of my music taste consisted of mainstream rap in lockdown, this album used to be something I would come back to always for it's futuristic sounding instrumentals.
After a re-listen, I can definitely point out it's flaws and how inconsistent this album is, but the nostalgia for me is what brings this score above an 8. Very interesting album

Alvvays sophomore album provides many catchy and enjoyable indie songs, was not a fan of Already Gone though. Great album with a lot of songs I listen to near daily.
Favourite songs :

Your Type
So furries can make amazing indie rock hits? Yeah idk either to be honest. Jokes aside, amazing album which is aging better by the day.
Favourite songs :
Bodys
Sober to Death
Cute Thing
What can I say expect this album is an all time classic for Psychedelic Pop. Aged beautifully and such an amazing experience when I listened to this for the first time.
Favourite songs :
Let It Happen
New Person, Same Old Mistakes
Eventually
Blue Rev is everything you would want in an Indie Pop, Jangle Pop, whatever you want to call it album.
This album showcases Alvvays best production to date and such gems of songs, like the first three tracks that fully show what this band is capable of. There is no downside to this album and every song is an amazing roller-coaster of emotions.
This album was 110% worth the 5 year wait.

I love it. Elegant sounding album and interesting stories being told to wonderful instrumentals. Highly recommend
This album is filled with Kanye classics and is a pretty good take on Experimental Hip Hop, at least for Kanye's standards.
Favourite songs :
On Sight
Bound 2
Hold My Liquor
EDIT (89-92) 89 was too low, love this album, multiple bangers.
EDIT 2 (92-94) I think it's time we realise that this is one of the best albums of all time and Kanye single handedly opened Industrial Hip-Hop into a completely new lane.
Dominic Fikes best work. With simple but somewhat enjoyable instrumentals. 3 Nights does feel out of place in this project though.
Favourite songs :
Socks
Babydoll
I have love for this album as I really enjoyed it in 2020, when I was all mainstream obsessed, but after a re-listen not too long back, it is not how I thought it was when it first released. Did not age well. Do really enjoy some parts of this album though.
Favourite songs :
Politics and Violence
Double Negative
Wurli
Yeah, no. Some parts of the album has really good production which foreshadows what Scuba is capable of in the future, but this album has little to no replay value and lacks a strong point. Vocals are all over the place too.
Favourite songs :
Windows
Junior Ballad
Scubadiver's fifth album in his very unique discography, and it is very enjoyable.
Very chill, extremely creative and if I am being honest, I do not know many artists doing the things that Scuba is doing at the moment. The thing I most like about Scubadiver, is that he never sticks to one genre and each album is like a whole new experience
and a whole new Scuba. He went from his lacklustre and aggressive rap album Godspeed To, to an amazingly put together psychedelic album MECHA-ROBO ... read more
Mid. Some songs to come back to, but overall not worth the listen.
