Sharks - Ichor
91

Unfortunately for every other artist in the future riddim genre, Sharks has set an impossible benchmark with this EP, one that his contemporaries may spend the rest of their careers living in the shadow of.

Fantastic album. A bunch of memorable and enjoyable songs with a neat 90's indie vibe. I like it a lot. I would also like to add that the chord progressions are super cool and groundbreaking. It's never predictable!

Favorites: Wallow, New Life, Be True, Torn Open

Grabbitz - Big Epic Nothing
79

Terrific. Grabbitz sings as well as he produces and writes lyrics. No skips, but it took two listens to love it. Was not a big fan at first.

Glass Animals - Heat Waves
20

Surface level trite

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
80

The most original and insane rap record I've ever listened to. Bobbys vocals are drowned out in nearly every track so it's kind of hard to decipher his lyrics. Other than that It's one hell of a ride

Tyler, The Creator - Cherry Bomb
65

The production is horrible, but the music is a fun listen. Fucking Young is always skipped.

Tyler, The Creator - IGOR
85

Tyler's best album.

Tyler, The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA
65

One moment you're listening to a beautiful piece about growing up without a father, and the next some b!tch pops out of nowhere rapping about queefing. This album is a mess.

Denzel Curry - King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2
78

A very fun listen. Dope instrumentals.

Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future
85

Baller as fuck. One of my favorites. Wish some songs were longer though.

JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
82

Fantastic. Peggy at his absolute best

¥$ - VULTURES 2
20

Yeah this thing is ass.

Sub Focus - Fine Day
45

It's a worse version of the goreshit remix, and it doesn't need to exist.

Maskinen - Boys II Men
75

An absolute classic. EDM and swedish rap will never sound like this again. It's original, fun and catchy (mostly) all around. However, I feel it fluctuates in quality unfortunately. Enough bops to go around though! Some tracks should have just been scrapped. What the hell were they smoking to put Flow Ball on here?

Maskinen - Framgång & Efterfrågan
65

It's hard to be harsh to a classic, but some of the tracks on this album are just horrendous. Herbert and Frej are excellent rappers but sometimes the beats just show their age.. very badly.

45

Overly hated. It's not at all as bad as people say. If you can see past some really dumb lyrics and verses by Kanye himself, you'll see a bunch of A/B-list artists just having fun. It's up to you if you want to be a lil' bitch and stand by the sidelines all angry like an incel during the homecoming dance.

Denzel Curry - ZUU
85

Banger after banger after banger after banger. Denzel and FnZ just click so god. damn. well. Not a single microsecond is boring on this thing.

JID - DiCaprio 2
86

Would've been a 90 if it wasn't for that bad intro track. Other than that, this album captures the feeling of watching different movies, each with its own theme and energy. Each one lands so good it just puts a smile on a mf's face, man. JID's best performance so far. Chef's kiss

JID - The Forever Story
79

Original score was 87/100.

2007 is easily the corniest fuxking song on here and the fact that it stole the spot of ending track from the beautiful Lauder Too is just a shame. Should've just left 2007 out of it. Not a good inclusion at all.

Other than that really really good record

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
98

Conceptually amazing in every single aspect. From production to lyrics this thing is just absolutely spectacular. I cannot stress enough how fun this album is. As close to perfect as you can get in my opinion. I wanted the funk and he sure as hell gave it.
