Kid Cudi - Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven
40

An earnest and very vulnerable, if not overly tactful attempt from Cudi at a different sound; definitely a little overhated imo.

Dave & Central Cee - Split Decision
75

A satisfying zero-filler collab which spotlights Dave on his A-game (as per usual), and Cench lyrically at his best--particularly on Trojan Horse and Our 25th Birthday.

Sprinter being the most liked track on here is nothing short of criminal.

Sainté - Local MVP
90

Far and above Sainte's best work to date. So good at what it does, an incredibly well-done blend of suave and hard: doing shots but of champagne is the EXACT energy this EP gives off.

Kid Cudi - Entergalactic
65

In true Cudi fashion, Entergalactic presents far from the most consistent album experience--however as the soundtrack to the film, it fairs quite well.

Antônio Carlos Jobim - Wave
90

Essential Bossa, impecable vibes.

Tame Impala - The Slow Rush B-Sides & Remixes
70

Lil Yachty really hopped on one Tame Impala remix and decided it was time to make the best psychedelic album of the 2020s lmao

Tame Impala - Currents B-Sides & Remixes
75

Excellent singles, somewhat mediocre remixes.

Singles: 9/10
Remixes: 6/10
Aggregate: 7.5/10

Tame Impala - Currents
95

An album which both knows exactly what it is, and executes perfectly upon that vision. Everything a psychedelic album should be--an instant staple in the genre.

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
100

The masterpiece of one of our time's greatest artists.

NF - The Search
60

AOTY is misleading on this one, Nate's most mature and well developed project to date. If you can swallow the pill many struggle with that you are indeed listening to NF, and thus accept the Eminem influences and at times corny lyrics for what they are, it's far from a bad album.

I do sort of wish he'd split some of the weaker tracks off into a deluxe though.

PARTYNEXTDOOR - $ome $exy $ongs 4 U
25

With every bloated, uninspired, cliche, half-baked R&B album Drake puts out I have just a little less time for it--and I never had very much to begin with.

Favourite part: NOKIA

Least favourite part: Drake, the rest of this album

James Blake - James Blake
100

Frigid, somber, nebulous, pensive--disparate and desolate--there has not and will never be another album quite like James Blake by James Blake.

Logic - Planetory Destruction
65

This is just such a Logic project to make. It's quirky, charming, endlessly creative, and chalk full of genuinely excellent production. You can tell Bobby had a lot of fun making this project and was just doing whatever the fuck he felt like doing, and that energy is honestly infectious. The whacky story combined with the brilliant spacey production makes this among Logic's most transportative projects for me, while remaining light-hearted and at times genuinely funny. The Funky ... read more

Drake - Scorpion
40

Pros: God's Plan*; the 90 minute runtime gives you ample time to locate, learn to tie, and then utilize a hangman's noose.

Cons: everything else

*subject to massive over-playing and thus no longer listenable sober

Drake -  Honestly, Nevermind
30

You know it's gonna be bad when the artist literally tells you it's probably worth ignoring in the title.

Yeat - Up 2 Më
50

Moments of greatness in a sea of bloat. Deeply, deeply overrated.

Playboi Carti - Die Lit
60

A fun, and admittedly groundbreaking--if severely overrated--listen.

Playboi Carti - MUSIC
60

Underwhelming considering the wait. Carti has yet to release anything better than Yeat's 2093, and I'm beginning to wonder if he ever will.

NAV - Emergency Tsunami
25

Friends & Family is a banger, everything else is take it or leave it.

You know it's bad when the 30 second intro and outro snippets of a news anchor talking about the weather are 10%+ better rated than any other track off the album lmao.

On shoelobber's review of Nina Simone - I Put a Spell on You
"Unfortunately my experience is that mind blowing jazz tends to not connect very well with those not yet well acquainted with jazz. Hard to find good jazz records that keep it accessible the whole way through really. If you're into the sound you might look into some Bossa records though, Elis & Tom might be a good place to start."

On SammyCheese's review of Dave & Central Cee - Split Decision
"" "Split Decision" really emphasized how Central Cee never changes his flow " " some of the worst Cench bars " bro were you even listening on Our 25th Birthday? I can respect criticism but not when it's actually just objectively untrue lmao. Might be time for a relisten of that one. This EP showcases some of his more complex performances flow-wise and that song is among his most bar-heavy--you can dislike the project but stop the cap dude."

On Toasterqueen12's review of James Blake - James Blake
"something I always try to do with myself when I find a piece of music boring, and something I recommend you try as well, is to ask yourself: is the music I am listening to actually boring, or am I simply bored, because I am listening for and attuned to the wrong elements of the track, or because of external factors. Or given that you also rated overgrown at 48/100, maybe James Blake is just not for you at this point in your life."
