YAYYYY thank u Jane :)

this shit just makes me sad, man :(

camila doesn't even know what audience she wants to appeal to, resulting in a garbage pile of watered-down alt-pop rip-offs.

also, how is the best song on the project, a solo drake song that didn't even need to be on there

overall in my opinion better than i was expecting it to be, james blake and lil yachty have some clear chemistry when it comes to their music.

it's fun! really enjoy the production and vocal performance on this album and it makes me excited to hear more.

for the director's cut, underscores delivers a masterful example of art once again.

another fun project from don, unfortunately this one is kind of a mixed bag for me. i enjoyed most of the songs, but some of them just had qualities about them that just were kind of boring. i wish a project with what seems like a set concept, had a more cohesive sound.

Census Designated is a heavy, mature, movie-like experience that takes a focus on artistic expression— rather than focusing on attention grabbing musical snippets.

If Jane's first record didn't prove her attention to the art, this one solidifies it. She filled this album with a masterful modern rock experience that should not be taken lightly.

Census Designated takes on a much more analogue approach than Frailty, but it fits her just as well as the younger counterpart on the previous ... read more

let me see u PUSH. A. TEEEEEEEEEE

i personally did not listen to much of Quadeca's work before he made "the big switch" sonically with his previous album "I Didn't Mean to Haunt You", and unfortunately did not put away time to dive into his work after that record released.
SCRAPYARD was a definite surprise to me, as i ended up enjoying it much more than I originally anticipated.
releasing the album in a supply-drop-esque matter was a fun choice for me, and it allowed me to really hone-in and enjoy the ... read more

This has to be, if not anything else, my personal favorite hip-hop record of all time.
Kendrick goes into the complexities of dealing with fame, struggle, conflict, religion, politics, relationships and the hardships and stressful nature of being a Black male in the United States of America.
He goes on to creating a narrative around all of these points bringing the story life with some of the jazziest beats i’ve heard; bringing in modern jazz legends (Terrace Martin, Kamari Washington, ... read more

i enjoyed doja's flows a lot more on these deluxe tracks than i did on the original project, but i still feel like she did not quite fit the mold of "no more pop only bars" that she came for on the original release.

I went into this album with a high expectation of greatness especially after the near-masterpiece that was RENAISSANCE. Needless to say, I was a lot more impressed than I initially anticipated.
Beyoncé allowed her texas roots to really shine through on this album, with her mixture of her r&b past and the country themes of this record allowed for a beautiful pop record.
I really enjoyed the radio-esque approach to the skits with both Willie ... read more

my personal album of 2023. i have found every song to be phenomenal (according to my personal standard) and the overarching themes and world building of Wallsocket, MI to be superb.
also, being queer in michigan, a lot of these song's themes resonate with me.

Although some may not care for the lyrical content or glitch-y nature of the production style in this sophomore LP from Ohio artist brakence, this was in the top contenders in 2022 for the pop/alternative music scene for me. Comparing this record to his previous releases shows that he has matured and really honed his style into it's own with this record. The production, as well as the quality/flow of the entire record sonically, is his best in his discography so far. Only problems I have with ... read more
