Big Gigantic - Fluorescence
82

Man what a fuckin VIBE.

Wisp X - Roots
80

Really felt the nostalgia on this one, Flow in particular felt like something right out of Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites era Skrillex. Awesome vibe that I don't get to hear much of anymore.

PhaseOne - TERRANOVA
81

Edit: 87->81 - Cooled off on this one quite a bit, still think it's good but not really top10 territory for me this year.

While it may not harbor some of PhaseOne's greatest hits, I think this does an exceptional job at delivering a cohesive and unique experience, something that I feel we seldom get in the dubstep space. On top of this, I think his continued dedication to collaborate with some fantastic, underrated acts in the alt/metalcore scene (Banks Arcade, Make Them Suffer, ... read more

Morgan Wallen - I'm The Problem
69

If you took a drink every time this guy mentioned whiskey, you'd probably pass away with 17 songs to go.

PinkPantheress - Fancy That
83

This is some truly unique girly-pop, and I'm here for it.

Sleep Token - Even in Arcadia
88

Honestly at this point it's pretty simple: You either like sleep token or you don't. This album isn't going to sway anyone's existing opinions of this band, but if you're a fan of their previous work (like I am), you'll feel right at home.

While I don't think it quite reaches the heights of Take Me Back to Eden (at least after first listen), there are plenty of incredible moments here that will have me coming back for subsequent listens.

Acres - The Host
81

Certified slapper.

Eptic - Darkstar
85

There is something about Eptic's sound that just feels "correct". Like this shit right here, THIS is dubstep in it's purest form.

AIKA - Aika
78

After first listen this just feels "decent" at the moment. The 1h41m length is definitely a lot to digest, but honestly I thought the same thing about Rai'hea when that came out and it ended up being one of my favorite albums of all time. The back end of this album being the best part of it is certainly going to help with motivating me to go through subsequent listens.

Mayday Parade - Sweet
68

Didn't hook me the way their last album did. The Knucklepuck collab is pretty good, but the rest of this just felt like it was missing something I can't really describe.

Settle Your Scores - Better Luck Tomorrow
93

For a brief moment in 2018, Easy-core reached it's peak. There have been many albums before this and many since but none have come as close to perfection of the genre as much as this has.

Invent Animate - Bloom in Heaven
76

Dug this more than Heavener, but less than Superbloom. Still love the concept and hope that other bands continue to try things like this in the future!

Memphis May Fire - Shapeshifter
80

OCTANECORE MY BELOVED. This shit slaps and I don't care how generic people say it is. There are days where this type of music scratches an itch like nothing else does, and this album is definitely getting played when one of those days comes up.

Underoath - The Place After This One
81

While all of their albums post-reunion have been a mixed bag of incredible hits and underwhelming tracks, I feel like Underoath is getting closer to striking gold on "The Place After This One". Songs like "All The Love is Gone", "Teeth", and "Outsider" really feel like the band scratching the surface of something greater, and I hope that they continue to experiment with this more electronic, almost dystopian sounding production.

It is enjoyable to see ... read more

GRiZ - GEMiNI
84

The king of funky-fused dubstep is back, and it sounds like he hasn't dropped a beat.

Anberlin - Nevertake
84

This was waaaaaaaaay better than I was expecting it to be. I'm a newer Anberlin fan so I don't have anything to say regarding new vs old, but I will say that Matty feels right at home singing these songs. An excellent reimagining.

Bloodywood - Nu Delhi
79

Unbelievably bouncy and catchy riffs while keeping it heavy. Immense swagger while keeping it a little goofy with the lyrics. It's a best of both worlds and man is it FUN.

Playboi Carti - MUSIC
55

Yeah this just isn't for me sadly, there are moments where I get the hype behind Trap/Rage but they are few and far between.

Dubloadz - SAVAGEWONK4EVER
84

Leave it to Dubloadz to cook up such a slick concoction of new and old sound. Nostalgic sound design and samples with fresh twists that are weaved together so well from track to track that I kind of just got lost in it taking a trip down memory lane.

Highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the old "UKF Blue" era of dubstep.
