Peggy once again proves that he is one of the most forward-thinking rappers in the modern music landscape. Although there were glimpses of it on previous albums, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU sees quite the stylistic shift. Peggy blends in more rock aesthetics with his experimental sound which in my opinion works incredibly. As soon as you play the album, the opening track greets you with live-sounding drums and a hard guitar riff. The rapping is what you would expect with a Peggy album, giving ... read more

Porter Robinson saves music once again. With SMILE! :D you get a different approach to his previous albums in many different aspects. He tones down some electronic elements in favour of more authentic-sounding instrumentation, and compliments this change by using his real voice a lot more. For me this made it feel like a more personal listen; it was like I was reading through Porter's thoughts and feelings, almost like a diary. With that being said, he still keeps a lot of the rich, and ... read more

This isn't something I was expecting from a Parannoul album, and this strange mix of artists brings equally mixed results. Still, I love the texture created in the album, and the electronic bit-crusher effects sound pretty cool as well. However, the ideas are sometimes not translated greatly into the songs, such as the vocals at times, and the sometimes underwhelming song structures.

Peggy and Danny were always a duo bound to meet, with both of them presenting a very unique take on hip-hop. SCARING THE HOES for the most part is abrasive, and in your face, which works great for both artists who's vocals are more challenging than your typical rapper.

Peggy takes the weird and abstract production he is known for and twists it to something more gentle and melodic

Not a collab I was expecting, but one which surprisingly works decently

I appreciate that he's showing love to this style of hip-hop, but it suffers from being uninteresting compared to his previous albums. There aren't any huge standouts for me, but there aren't any huge letdowns either.

If this is going to be his last album then he is ending on a crazy high. This album feels like a farewell to what he's done in music as he explores many different aspects that made his music so special and recognisable in the first place, while dipping his toes in genres he hasn't touched before. Bando Stone and The New World demonstrates how versatile Gambino is as a musician, and I'm quite blown away at how successful he is in so many different lanes; I mean he managed to make ... read more

How does this album have both Little Foot Big Foot and Final Church on it 😭😭😭

There are a few moments in this album that feel quite sloppy and bland, whereas other moments feel genuinely genre-pushing and adventurous

There are going to be obvious comparisons to their previous work D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, however, it's important to consider when looking at Failed at Math(s). In comparison, this album doesn't quite have the charm that D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L has, which could be put down to the lack of lore surrounding this album, however, I just don't find it to be as consistent. I will give Panchiko credit, because even after such a long hiatus ... read more

When I first saw this album I was quite intrigued by the cover and title, and at the time of my first listen I wasn't too familiar with this type of music. However, I still found quite a lot of enjoyment out of it. Learning about the lore behind the album was also pretty interesting, and in my opinion, adds to the album experience; and these days I love the musical aspects of the songs, such as the elements of lofi, indie guitars, and drowned vocals.

Clairo keeps her subtle and soft signature sound, and like the album title suggests, there is a lot of charm in this project. Aside from her gentle, dreamy voice, my favourite part of the album is the touches of piano across many songs, as for me they elevate the atmosphere and make me feel warmth and comfort.

A decent compilation showcasing Oddwin's skill in producing; not too much I would return to however

My main problem with this album comes down to the lyrics and attitude, and I get it, the point of the album is to be edgy in an attempt to replicate who he was before, however, it isn't done tastefully. I mean why are there so many references to Caitlyn Jenner?? There is no need for her to be mentioned so much; Eminem is just reiterating the same stuff in many of the songs. This combined with the constant mentions of Gen-Z, and what seems to be lame rage-bait, comes off weird. This whole ... read more

Shoutout to all the winners, you all snapped fr

Although there are moments where everything comes together, I'm often let down by the vocals and lyrics, as ISSBROKIE can be doing a bit too much which comes across cringe

It's free, it's abstract, and it's adventurous with how it switches genres throughout

I'm obsessed

What makes me enjoy these guys so much is how they don't take themselves so seriously, but at the same time create fun bangers.; in doing this the topical references and jokes always land for me.
