Some of the corniest trash I’ve ever heard mixed in with a couple great hyperpop songs at the end. A weird release with lows so low that the entire thing feels sour. Batty Freestyle is one of the worst songs of the year.
This has always been my least favorite major Damien project and this release doesn’t change that, though its still solid
As creative and interesting the way gunk approaches these songs are, there’s something missing in the vocal performances that just leaves a lot to be desired. Each of the features—especially Froe—feel like they have far more personality and emotion in their vocals, gunk sort of sounds like he’s on autopilot. I LOVE ALL MY DOGS intrigues me but it doesn’t move me, even though its undeniably solid.
The first half of this is some of the best music of the decade, the second half is great too. Beautiful music all throughout, the vibe here is incredible
Favs: GLHHULÏ, Mission Audio, Aqua-Soul-Rebel
Decent metal but I wasn’t moved by any of these compositions and wasn’t a big fan of the vocals
As strange and unique the genre crossovers are on this album, I think the blend fits Glaive’s vibe perfectly—this is his style and he’s wonderful at it. Its certainly a bit backloaded with the last few tracks being the most memorable on the project, but the whole experience is still fun and engaging.
Favs: Let’s Link Up and Die, UNCA/Composure, Flyen
The Estrategia half is like a mid 8, the Destruccion half is a 9. Great album overall, really fun listen
Surprisingly solid, Drake’s performances fit this spaced out R&B style really well. Nothing about Habibti is that special, and there are some misses for sure, but for the most part its is a nice late night background vibe. That said, Classic is a really bad song, it sounds like a plugg beat that should’ve gone to a Tony Shhnow or 10kdunkin but somehow ended up on a Drake album, and then randomly turns into a weird horny nothingburger of an outro. Its moments like that that just ... read more
Went from being one of the most creative and talented rappers in the world to making serviceable trap with Lil Baby features
Genuinely some of the worst music I’ve ever heard in my life. At its best Maid of Honour is a sleep album—so unengaging and mindnumbing boring that I had to pinch myself to keep from passing out. At its worst its a war crime. Making Cheetah Print should get you a life sentence. Holy mother of god this was bad
Favs: None
The back half of this album is so beautiful its genuinely unbelievable, Shine is so good
Favs: Jump Back In, All Love, Five Star, Finally (The End)
Honestly this was decent before the final third of the album which is pure filler and could’ve been chopped off entirely with 0 consequence. Drake is somehow completely incapable of constructing a coherent project, as almost half of this is bloat—by song 13 I was just waiting for it to be over. The opener is the best song on here, Drake is at his best on smooth soul sample beats, and there are a couple other really nice tracks here. His performances are pretty standard and ... read more
Ive never thought of using the term “rage slop” until i heard this album, but nothing better describes it. I couldnt hum a single melody of any songs on here or tell you a single lyric, it started and ended and that was it. It was perfectly fine, and in about an hour i will have forgotten everything about it

"This is a joke review lmao, just funny how this is a rym darling when its just mediocre boom bap. It has a white fanbase in the same way mf doom or kendrick have a white fanbase, doesnt make them bad but its true that each have a large white following. Also is true that people who listened to 90s hiphop will probably like this, just like doom and kenny. Those are good artists tho, the reason why this is ass is cus the beats are uninteresting, the flows are uninteresting, the bars are corny, nothing is worth listening to beyond the first song. Its bad music, and its corny as hell. No new ideas, no innovation, no memorable moments, its just drivel. Now get out of my comments lmao"

"@sisyphus86 Yeah thats more just a point of comparison, i dont actually hate the way this sounds, it just didnt move me and didnt feel nearly as personal as his last projects. I didnt mean to haunt you is something i genuinely like and respect, i just dont feel anything with this one. Maybe im missing something, art is subjective, regardless im just not feeling it. Nothing against quadeca, nice guy"
On Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
"@sisyphus86 I dont call all art i dont like soulless, only projects which feel hollow and performative. Theres a specific issue with certain projects which dont feel like they have an emotional core and rather feel curated to fit a certain sound rather than feeling authentic and personal. Its even worse when this hollowness is hidden by bunches of textures and layers which sound pleasant to the ears, but in reality are just a distraction from the fact that the art really isnt saying much. Just because the sound this quadeca album appeals to is a more unique one than traditional soulless pop music doesnt automatically make that performativity any different, its just curated to get an aoty must hear rather than a spot on billboard top 100."

On lena ( ^ω^ )'s review of Quadeca - Vanisher, Horizon Scraper
"its irritating that every well written critique of this album’s emptiness and lack of quality is filled with children in the comments calling them “pretentious” and “just wanting to be different”, even though theyre all obviously well thought out and completely genuine. you can not like an album that most people like without being a contrarian. you can criticize details in an album without being pretentious. stop being annoying"
