Blank Banshee - Blank Banshee 0

The windows 95 sampling is genius

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II
NR

I still cannot get past the 4th track how is this a "life-changing" record?????????

Radiohead - Pablo Honey
60

It's okay, I'd listen to this once in a while if all their other albums weren't straight 10/10s.

Skrillex - Quest For Fire
88

This album offers a variety of bass heavy tracks with interesting and enjoyable production, defining Skrillex's talents once again.

Skrillex - Don't Get Too Close
35

It's just ok, I appreciate the ideas on the second half of the project but the features just don't seem like the right fit, and the execution of those ideas were half baked and unintriguing. The first half tries to achieve less than the second, and unsurprisingly, the songs are more enjoyable. Thank god "Quest for Fire" is miles better.
50->35 (8/3/22): The hooks are horrendous man what

Logic - College Park
65

He definitely draws a lot of structural ideas from Kendrick Lamar ( eg: skits at the end of each song from GKMC; soulful lofi production from Section.80 most notable on the song Lightsabers ) and although quite a few corny bars, still delivers a pretty good listen.

I do hope we get a no skit version because I am not adding a song with a 3 minute sketch at the end on any playlist

Yeat - AftërLyfe
35

I got bored out on first listen I wonder how I'm going to be able to listen to this thing again, It just goes on for soo long with barely any variation up to "How it go".

JPEGMAFIA - Black Ben Carson
NR

ok how does he NOT look like MC Ride from this angle like c'mon

Gorillaz - Cracker Island
50

First Impressions: BIG VIBES. Very fun to listen to, even though it's pretty close to the line between cohesiveness and repetitiveness. Love how the album starts off super energetic and punchy and slows down towards the end, leaving you with a feeling of completeness. The only problems I find with the record is that the title track does not really match the rest of the album, and the Bad Bunny track just feels lazy.
EDIT 75->50: A huge portion of it really becomes forgettable.

Imperial Dimension - Rush Hour
0

Worst song I've heard in my entire life

Context Sensitive - Everything is Okay
70

Very fun to listen to, even with a few shortcomings and repetitive tracks here and there. Bump this during homework and it's going to be the most fun you're ever had doing your homework. Super positive vibes from this album.

Birocratic - Beets 4
60

A 45 minute long chill hop record definitely brings it's highs and lows throughout the album, while still containing his most accessible and flavorful "beets" to date.

leroy - dariacore
60

Birth of a genre, even though it's not a very good one ( the quieter tracks are just boring ). Both Dariacore 2 & 3 outdo this album on multiple scales.

leroy - Dariacore 3โ€‹.โ€‹.โ€‹. At least I think that's what it's called?
75

this is difficult for both, the listener and the artist. I cannot fathom how difficult it must be to use an enormous amount of quantities in a genre that is already pretty abrasive. Although, the slower tracks on this album, just like Dariacore 1 are snoozy.

On4word - In Rainbow Roads
75

The more technically complex songs (eg: Bodysnatchers, 15 step, ) don't sit very well, even though the rest of the project slaps.
Edit 85->75: Although impressive, the magic of the tracks begins to fade rather quickly. This isn't something you would listen to often, at least that's what I'm experiencing.

Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future
85

Some of the well planned projects of hip hop. The themes of personal struggle and positivity, highlighted by the soul-inspired production is definitely a magical formula.

Dr. Dre - The Chronic
80

The Chronic and Selected Ambient Works 85-92 were released in the same year, I find that comedic for whatever reason. Let Me Ride has a beautiful hook.

C418 - Minecraft - Volume Beta
95

What a wonderful follow-up / re-do to one of the greatest soundtracks ever.

Saint Mercatร˜r - Da Biggest Bird
99

no, IM the biggest bird.
