Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
100

And on the fifth day, Jesus said “let them eat lunch”

Allie X - Girl With No Face
72

While nothing can come close to the excellence of her "Cape God" LP, GWNF brings a unique sonic approach which is nothing to scoff at.

Ariana Grande - eternal sunshine
59

A much more sonically pleasing style from Ariana, but it still seems like she is yet to find her true calling.

Beyoncé - COWBOY CARTER
93

Am I already a biased stan? Yes.

Does that make this album any worse? No.

Art.

Kelela - Raven
82

Fairly one-note towards the back end, but the ethereal floaty vibe is unforgettable and keeps you along.

Mitski - Bury Me at Makeout Creek
68

Probably deserves a relisten but this album just isn't working for me.

Travis Scott - UTOPIA
90

What a fucking album.

Cut a few tracks and you seriously have one of the best rap albums of recent memory, and even with the bloat it still feels like a generational moment.

Olivia Rodrigo - GUTS
77

A mostly solid album drug down by a weak middle and my unexplainable hatred of 'get him back!'

Róisín Murphy - Hit Parade
87

How are you going to make an amazing spectacle of an album about how great life is and vow on self expression and be a terf LMFAO

Mitski - The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We
92

A stunning Orchestral Americana turn from Mitski's original style. Personally, I found this album a refreshing return to form after the poppier experiments on Laurel Hell (which I still enjoyed, just less). The layering of guitars and brooding synths creates an atmosphere radiating of a winter's day in a way that allows her visceral emotion to transport you straight into her world. My only gripes seem to come from the mixing on her vocals (in the same vein as Laurel Hell) and a few clunky ... read more

Madison Beer - Silence Between Songs
85

This album actually blew me away? Sure it’s not the most interesting or unique, but her chord progressions and choruses are so strong it’s like she has it down to science.

Edit: 89-85 it could stand to have a few more heavy hitters outside of 'Home To Another One'

Tinashe - BB/ANG3L
83

As a massive Tinashe fan, part of me feels like this album falls a bit short of what we could have seen from her. 7 tracks is a bold choice that I would be more open to if they felt more varied, but nearly every song uses the same garage percussion that blends unique tracks together into an odd mishmash. I would be interested to see what she could do with this sound in future releases, but as it stands I think it could have done with a little more time in the workshop.

PS: I know this sounds ... read more

Addison Rae - AR
70

I’m actually disturbed that Addison Rae just released some of the best pop music I’ve heard in a while. I got it bad could enter ‘Into You’ status of synthpop classic with a little promotion

Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation
76

Summer may be endless but the sales aren’t

69

I think the quality of the music was purposely meh so people could give it this score

Taylor Swift - Midnights
87

I see why so many people see Midnights and scoff, but I actually see it as a solid piece of work that holds its own in Taylor's discography. While it is obviously littered with flaws (Snow On The Beach reeks of The Sims, Question feels like a nursery rhyme, and Vigilante Shit is simply embarrassing), the highlights on Midnights are some of the stronger pop moments I've heard recently. Even when Taylor's lyricism falls into a corner or corny puns, she works her way into some of the catchiest ... read more

Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell!
100

forget top or bottom, just ask "norman or rockwell?"

Kali Uchis - Isolation
84

Kali Uchis' "Isolation" is a true novelty, because who else can make an incredible album that you entirely forget after each listen?

Taylor Swift - Speak Now (Taylor's Version)
80

The regular album is a 90, but the vault tracks & deluxe take a dip in quality dragging down the final score.
