Common - Be

Mandatory tl;dr because AOTY users are lazy: Amazing instrumentation and vocal performances, great variety, warm feelings and a standout in the modern hip-hop scene.

God DAMN! This album is just banger after banger after banger. There are almost no weak tracks on this album and it's full of interesting experimentation in its instrumentation and very broad vocal performances, despite Kanye and Common being the (almost) only artists with main performances. It's actually quite ... read more

Freddie Gibbs - Alfredo 2

Mandatory tl;dr because AOTY users are lazy: Solid project from 2 well established musicians, surprisingly enjoyable gangster rap, mixed performances

I really do like the identity of this album, it's lofi/jazzy/gangsta rap with lots of sampling and electronic elements. Which if you know my music taste, should tell you that I'm most likely going to REALLY like this album. While Gangsta rap is honestly slightly boring to me lyrically, I feel like Freddies delivery and the solid ... read more

Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure?
73

Mandatory tl;dr because AOTY users are lazy: Summer Background Music, Funky RnB vibes, Perfect Radio/Car Trip Vibes

I feel like this album is remarkably good background music, with nice sounds of funk and RnB that don’t feel forced or accidental. I appreciate the instrumentals being comprised of electronic instruments and soft summer sounds, it definitely feels like this album could be one of the greater summer vibe albums to listen to when around people or while sitting in the car on a ... read more

Darkwood Dub - Život počinje u 30 oj
90

Mandatory tl;dr because AOTY users are lazy: Great chillmaxxing album, perfect for it’s genre, hard to understand because I don’t speak serbian.

Also, the score I gave this album is a lie, I just didn’t want to lower it’s rating because all AOTY users care about is rating. The real rating is….. 81? Something around 81 sounds right.

Since I don’t actually understand anything said on this album, I don’t have a lot to say about it’s lyrics. But ... read more

Vince Staples - Big Fish Theory
66

Mandatory tl;dr because AOTY users are lazy: This album isn't incredibly interesting or experimental. While it has some great mood setting and storytelling, it's weakness in the instrumentation and weary vocals make it have noticeable flaws.

I don't really understand how this album is considered to be Vince's best work or seemingly experimental? I suppose it's experimental in the fact that a lot of songs sound offbeat and like a fusion of trap/glitch/disco music? But ... read more

About

Unhappy about people overrating albums, everyone should be more comfortable with giving an album they like a 50-70/100.

With that being said, I'm mostly only going to be reviewing albums that are 70+/100, because I have something to say about them. Exceptions will be made for albums I find particularly overrated/underrated or that are new.

Also, if you rate stuff 11/10 or anything above the denominator, you are a child.
