Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong
90

This record is truly a remarkable piece of artwork. The composition of the music is vibrant in excerpts from multiple genres amplified in nature. The vocals and songwriting is ethereal, like a beautiful sunset. Each song tells a beautiful story of emotion, love, and heartbreak, a lush form of storytelling laced with incredible lyricism and instrumentation. Overall, this record is a true beauty of today's scene, and is a work of art like now other this year.

Viagra Boys - viagr aboys
80

This record is a humorous comedy show fused with a punk-rock that is very blunt with its lyricism and almost electronic in production, while still keeping a art-punk vibe. Overall, a great, quirky, and danceable listen, would totally recommend to any punk-listeners looking for something new.

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
90

This record brings psychedelic rock that makes the listener feel like a worm crawled into their brain. The experience is surreal.. almost as surreal as the surrealistic pillow. See what I did there? Anyways, in conclusion, Jefferson Airplane brings a flight into hypnosis lane like nothing I’ve listened to before. Go chase that white rabbit, you freak,

dälek - From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots
85

This record is a great album in the experimental side of hip-hop, paving the way for groups like Death Grips to make some incredible projects. The abstract and industrial elements along with the dark rap vocals set the stage for an enjoyable experience. Overall, this record is ahead of its time, and is a great listen, highly recommended.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps
90

This record progresses from folk, almost country sounds, to hard rock jams in a matter of a few songs that feels so smooth. The album tells a meaningful lesson that should never be forgotten. Everything great is bound to rust and corrode slowly. Overall, incredible performance from Neil Young And Crazy Horse on this record.

Mac Miller - Balloonerism
85

This record is truly a hidden gem in Mac Miller's discography. From the jazzy production of the album to the heartfelt lyrics displaying Mac's struggles with drugs, suicidal thoughts, and depression at the time. Rest in peace to Mac Miller, bless him and his family, and thank you to his family for letting the public have a view of this amazing album.

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Carpe Diem, Moonman
80

'Carpe Diem, Moonman' by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets uses psychedelic rock and heavy metal-esque energy to boost the sound of the album and create a great record with rock out and laid-back production meshed together very well. Overall, one of the greatest albums from the band thus far.

McKinley Dixon - Magic, Alive!
90

This record comes with a message that needs to be heard in this day and age. A kid ending his own life and his group of friends attempting to resurrect him with ‘magic’. The themes of family, friendship, mortality, and childhood wonder bring this album to life. McKinley Dixon’s ‘Magic, Alive!’ also fuses hip-hop and jazz, creating meaningful rap verses as well as elevating jazz sounds. Overall, this record is one of my personal favorite albums this year, and my ... read more

billy woods - GOLLIWOG
80

billy woods' 'GOLLIWOG' is a perfect mixture of horror film soundtrack and hip-hop. Listening to this album feels as though the listener is walking through an abandoned amusement park, with the amazing production supported by billy woods and his many collaborators on the project. Overall, this record is on of my favorite experimental projects this year.
