Album of the Day #1

This is a nice little record right here. Withering (Or, Songs of Yore) is a very soothing and relaxing album, especially during this pandemic when I need this kind of album the most. Speaking of which I can tell that some of this writing is definitely inspired by this pandemic, and so is the tone of the album. It's much cozier compared to some of their older works, or at least that's what I'm told. At the time of typing this review, Withering (Or, Songs of Yore) is the ... read more

Yeah, this is pretty much perfect.

I've been going through the Saturation trilogy this past week. Saturation was a really great record that introduced the world to Brockhampton's creativity and chemistry. I loved that album and it got me really excited to hear what else the band has to offer, so yesterday I sat down to listen to Saturation II. Well, I wouldn't necessarily say "sat down," because I was standing up the whole time with my jaw dropped in awe and amazement. Just like ... read more

This is one of the most creative hip-hop albums I've ever heard.

Brockhampton is a group that I've known about for a while and have been a fan of. Despite this I never really dived into their full discography. A couple months ago I listened to Ginger and really enjoyed it. Now I'm going to go through the Saturation trilogy, which is known for being very energetic, innovative and in-your-face. Before listening to this I heard "GOLD," "FACE," and "HEAT," but ... read more

How do I like Pacific Daydream but not this?

So this is Weezer's latest album, their "Black" album. Their goal for this record was to be edgier than ever before, and it definitely succeeded. I can, in fact confirm, that Rivers said bad words, he said the NO NO words, oh GOD RIVERS STOP CURSING!

In all honestly, I'm not feeling this record too much. Sure, there are some good, even great cuts off of here. I really enjoy "Can't Knock the Hustle," for its funkiness and ... read more

Man, this Weezer album sure does exist, doesn't i-
*heavy knocks on door in background*
*Pauses review to check who's at the door*
*Opens door to find Sean Fay Wolfe from Diamond Axe Studios holding a heavy amount of paperwork*
Guys, I won't be able to finish this review, for I am being sued

*Cracks knuckles* alright, time to make a few people slightly annoyed.

Pacific Daydream by Weezer is a pretty solid project. Yes, they're dialing back their sound to fit the mainstream scene, the songwriting is much weaker than it was on projects like Everything Will Be Alright in the End or their White album, and the backlash towards this project is very reasonable and understandable, especially since this is the follow up to their White album. Honestly, it's hard to believe that the same ... read more

This is going to be played all summer long

Weezer did it, they followed up a great album with another great album, with yet another great album! If Hurley felt like I was at a skate park, and Everything Will Be Alright In The End made me feel like I was in the woods, then this album definitely makes me feel like I'm at the beach. Weezer's White album is filled to the brim with great summer jams that I'll have on repeat in the next few months. They just match that vibe so perfectly like no ... read more

This album rocks!

After the failure that was Raditude, Weezer are now two for two with back to back good albums. Despite the mixed reviews for the record, I ended up really enjoying Hurley, and have since put it as my current third favorite Weezer project. With that record out of the way, I was really curious how this album would turn out. Prior to listening to this, I actively listened to "Back to the Shack," and "Go Away," the former song being really good, and the ... read more

I don't get the hate for this project.

Ok, maybe "hate," is a strong word, but there's a large amount of people that really don't like this project. Fantano himself that anything on Birds in the Trap is nowhere near as good as songs like "Sicko Mode," and "Antidote." While those two songs are very good, and some of the best songs Travis has made, I would argue that songs like "Pick Up The Phone," "Goosebumps," and "Way Back," are ... read more

I've loved this album for a year and I still haven't reviewed it??

So a while back I decided to purchase a vinyl copy of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea before even listening to it. At the time I knew it was a critical darling, but I have never heard the sheer beauty of this album until playing it for the first time. I just lay in my bed and was practically in a trance as this record played on and on, never coming to an area where I was taken out. It was an experience like no other.

In The ... read more

Ok this album is just good fun

After listening to Raditude, I had really low expectations when coming into this album. However, I actually had a lot of fun listening to Hurley. This follow up to the critical failure that was Raditude is actually really good, and a huge step up from that record. Hurley is one of the bands most fun and out there records to date. The instrumentation is great throughout the project, the songwriting has improved significantly, and Rivers has some of his best ... read more

Lil Uzi Vert just dropped two whole albums in the span of just over a week. He don't miss!

This is the sequel to Lil Uzi Vert's mixtape, Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World. While going through his discography, I first didn't care for that project much, but after a couple relistens the mixtape has grown on me a little bit. It's safe to say that some of Uzi's best and most memorable performances are on that mixtape, so I was really excited to see if Uzi would bring the same quality to the table. ... read more

It might have been a mistake to listen to this BROCKHAMPTON album first.

BROCKHAMPTON is a group that I've been a fan of for a short while now. With that being said, I've never actually listened to a full project by them. My plan was to go backwards in their discography, so I would listen to GINGER first, then IRIDESCENCE, and then the SATURATION trilogy in order, and then I'd listen to that other first mixtape by them. So yeah, GINGER was my first album-length experience from them, and I ... read more

I'm really hungry right now. On the right side of my screen is an advertisement for Raising Canes chicken. If you don't know, Raising Canes has to be my favorite place to get chicken by far. It's not too pricey, not homophobic, and the chicken overall is great. I could say that the fries that they serve could be a bit more seasoned, but overall the fries are alright. I especially like the toast there, and the dipping sauce that comes with the meal is to die for. Please someone buy me ... read more

How did Uzi drop Eternal Atake before I could ever lose my virginity

Here we have the long awaited Lil Uzi Vert project, Eternal Atake. It was announced back in 2018, and was then delayed several times. Throughout the wait, we were given six singles, two of which act as bonus tracks on this record. Throughout those singles, especially the last few, we kind of got a vibe of what the full project was going to sound like. Then the teaser trailer dropped, the album art was released, and we ... read more

Hey look, Weezer decided to not suck again

In my journey listening to the whole Weezer discography, I have found a great appreciation for them. I think their first two records are masterpieces, and Maladroit is heavily underrated. However, I feel their real nosedive into mediocrity was Make Believe, a record that I rated a 3/10. Make Believe was brought down by the basic production, bitterness and weak songwriting. Sure, Pinkerton was able to pull off bitterness, but that was with the help ... read more

This is exactly what I expected from Baby Gravy 2, and I am glad

Yung Gravy and bbno$ are definitely not the most talented or conscious rappers out now, yet they're some of my most listened to. Their music is just insanely fun and catchy to listen to separately. Once Yung Gravy and bbno$ collaborate though, the world is practically set on fire because of the heat that is produced. I mean "Rotisserie," and "Early Afternoon Stroll," are up there with the two's best songs. ... read more

I've been really needing an album like this recently

The moment I heard the lead single "Good News," i instantly fell in love with it. I finished the song crying harder than I have in a long time. That song has become a comfort song for me when I need it the most, and has connected with me like no other. With as strong as a lead single that "Good News," was, could the rest of the album hold up? It's safe to say that Circles absolutely holds up. All of the warm and ... read more

Two Denzel Curry projects in one year, and it's only February...

Denzel Curry has teamed up with producer Kenny Beats on this new album, UNLOCKED. Even before the album dropped, I knew it was going to be interesting because of it's rollout. Denzel and Kenny "leaked" the album and made it seem like it was legitimately linked. Then, Denzel went on to post tweets going after Kenny for leaking UNLOCKED. When I saw this going on, I was legitimately concerned, and wasn't aware that ... read more

What was Brad thinking when he gave this a 7/10

Eminem just dropped a surprise album a week ago. This is the second time that he's done this, when in 2018 he dropped Kamikaze out of nowhere. Music To Be Murdered by seems to be a large step in the right direction for Eminem, but he still has a long ways to go. Overall, this album is a mixed bag, with the majority of the songs being very 5/10 for me. There are a couple songs on here that are really good, and a couple of songs on here that ... read more
