The living definition of plain chicken and rice.

Viagra Boys - viagr aboys (Japanese Deluxe Edition)
80

The extra goodies from viagr aboys all the way from Japan is definitely a treat and a half.

IDK - e.t.d.s. A Mixtape by .idk.
70

IDK's 2026 mixtape is a very solid project with so many highlights especially with the incredible features. Unfortunately, the middle has one of the biggest duds I have seen in hip hop. This could have had a lot more potential if the middle was patched up.

Highlights: HALO, P.O, CLOVER, CELL BLOCK FREESTYLE / CD ON, FLAKKA, LiFE 4 A LiFE
Lowlights: STiGMA, C.O.P, START TO FiNISH - S.T.F, SCARY MERRi

Mydreamfever - 4. Mountain Still Breathing
80

If I had to explain Parannoul's alias "Mydreamfever" to somebody, I would use "comforting". Everything about this album and how Parannoul curates it makes me feel at ease with everything around me. Almost like there is nothing really to care about while listening. Everything flows into one another and you just let the music take the wheel.

When I heard these idiots were releasing a new album, I knew it was going to be one of the worst albums of the year. I was correct.

Mustaine really wanted to go out with a bang in the most sixth grade fashion ever. This album has some of the worst songwriting I’ve ever heard.

What’s sad is that the instrumentals on here are actually bearable, which is the most impressive thing on this album.

And now the main reason why I gave this a 0, the cover of Ride the Lightning.

Fuath - III
40

There could have been so much potential here, but things got old and repetitive very, very quick.

Manderley - You Come in Seasons and Depart through Windy Gusts and Blowing Leaves
90

2026 is going to be the year of Midwest Emo. I fucking love this.

Nine Inch Nails - Still
80

The stripped down acoustic version of some of NIN's most haunting tracks alongside some extra goodies are a surprisingly blissful experience.

Le Reste - Bleak Moments
50

Very quirky and odd, but quite messy as a debut.

A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb
80

Rocky returns with a very strong beginning, but a huge drop off in the back half with the features thankfully carrying Rocky in that back half.

Highlight: ROBBERY
Lowlight: AIR FORCE

Wait, What Did You Say? - Stay Safe, Little One.
90

This album is genuinely such an emotionally jam-packed journey for a debut from Wait, What Did You Say?

Zach Bryan - With Heaven On Top
70

Zach Bryan giving us a tour of his life on the tour bus is definitely worth the hour of your time.

departure - work of artist i love you
50

While the production is ethereal at best. The vocals are mediocre at best.

black midi - Cavalcade
80

Geordie shines a lot more vocally on this project in contrast to the debut. But instrumentally, that Brutal Prog transition is a bit weird out of experimental routes. Still absolutely phenomenal.

black midi - Schlagenheim
90

black midi's debut should be considered a landmark for creating one of if not the most genre-bending, unique, creative, and even genre-inventing albums of the decade.

black midi - Hellfire
100

Rest easy, Matt.

This album is everything I wanted black midi to be. Chaotic, complex, yet still having those cool, calm jazz pieces that made them so unique in previous works.

The chaos that some of these tracks bring are songs that I never had imagined could exist, but black midi in their truest of fashion, defy all odds and turn everything upside down. Redefining experimental and avant-garde in the 2020s.

This is hands down one of the most important albums to appear out of the Windmill ... read more

rubyred - trespasser
40

While I like some of the production here, the vocals and repetitiveness wears off very quick.

the sidepeices - darklight
70

Back again weirder, wonkier, and crazy.

yamaha - without a choice in the first place, crystallized in time
80

I’m going to set the record straight, I do not support the actions that yamada/Kris performed regarding them faking their death. Nobody should ever fake their death online for clout, and it sickens me that this happened.

But, I always critique, listen, and review music by what I am hearing, and I am never influenced to review bomb because of what the artist did or certain dramas their in.

This project either way was a very hard hitting, and emotional journey much like Sewerslvt's ... read more
