V - Layover
NR

Good voice, uninspired material.

Jin - Happy
95

Surprised that the main track is RUNNING WILD (although it's pretty good) but the b-sides FALLING and HEART ON THE WINDOW are superior to the main track for sure.

I enjoyed the vocals on FALLING, this is Jin at his best hitting the high notes and showing poignant vulnerability. Another highlight is the duet with Wendy, very good match of voices there and I enjoyed the playfulness of the song.

Another Level sounds like an outlier but it's something the gaming world would understand ... read more

Boyzone - Where We Belong
95

Bought the album on the strength of And I. Amazing song. Good album.

BABYMONSTER - DRIP
48

Some of these girls have good voices but they need better material.

Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER
90

Simply beautiful to listen to.

Lady Gaga - Disease
95

When the pre-chorus is haunting dark and beautiful who needs the chorus. Seriously, Gaga is soooo back.

Linkin Park - Meteora
93

Don't Stay, Faint, Numb wow! An excellent memorable album.

ROSÉ - APT.
40

I mean if the aim is to not make sense, at least be like I Am The Walrus Radio Ga Ga and Champagne Supernova.

Jin - I'll Be There
88

Heard his rock style wails in the Run BTS song and found it awesome. Was hoping he'd really embrace that side of him but this is a good start. Good bright vocals.

BABYMONSTER - BABYMONS7ER
30

Impressed with the rapping and some of the vocals but the material they gave these young talents is shockingly subpar.

Jung Kook - GOLDEN
60

I love Standing Next To You and I certainly think 3D is a great dance tune. Jungkook has a great falsetto and is a very good dancer too. But the rest of the album is a let-down. Nothing ground-breaking or memorable.

The comparison to MJ is a bit of a reach at this point. Michael wrote or co-wrote his greatest hits. Jungkook hasn't managed to do that yet. There is also not one bad song or "filler" songs in the massively successful Thriller album.

Tate McRae - greedy
60

It's got a catchy tune and the song fits Tate's voice.

U2 - Songs of Surrender
35

Nooooo.
What were they thinking.
They muted the songs, removed the edge, removed the fire. U2 and elevator music don't go hand in hand. I am sorely disappointed that they did this!

Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
55

Love her vocals and her lyrics are some of her most personal yet. By the end of the album though, I had this feeling that many of the tracks sound the same.

Jimin - FACE
15

He's a graceful dancer based on what I saw in the Jimmy Fallon performance but there is not one memorable song in this debut album.
Many of the songs are also horribly auto-tuned. I can dance to Like Crazy for a day or two but that's about it, I won't be adding it or any of the tracks in FACE to my playlist. And what is the theme that binds all the tracks together? The album doesn't have that character or personality that makes you remember the artist.

Overall, a mediocre album for a debut. ... read more

Lana Del Rey - A&W
92

Stunned.
Wow.
Will update review later as I want to listen to it a couple more times.

Lana Del Rey - Young And Beautiful
88

It's haunting, gorgeous and perfect for The Great Gatsby and then got derailed by one line - "All that face makes me wanna party". That's one of the most awkward lyrics I've heard.

BLACKPINK - BORN PINK
5

Omg this is spectacularly uninspired, uninviting and unmemorable.
There are no catchy hooks, no gorgeous melodies, no powerful message, no uniquely beautiful voice. I listened to 20-plus minutes of formulaic and boring.

Adele - 21
99

One of the best albums I've listened to.
Rolling in the Deep is timeless.

1. Rolling in the Deep (10/10)
2. Rumour Has It (8.0/10)
3. Turning Tables (8.0/10)
4. Don't You Remember (8.0/10)
5. Set Fire to the Rain (10/10)
6. He Won't Go (7.5/10)
7. Take It All (7.5/10)
8. I'll Be Waiting (9.0/10)
9. One And Only (8.0/10)
10. Lovesong (9.0/10)
11. Someone Like You (10/10)

BTS - BE
72

Whoa I heard Dis-ease for the first time yesterday walking by someone's car. Had to ask the driver who sang it and found out it's BTS!

The last 90 seconds of the song is so cool and strangely addictive - enough for me to want to find out more about these guys. I've listened to the album, their voices are good, especially one but I don't know which vocalist.

Apart from Dynamite and Telepathy, the rest of the tracks are bland. But DIs-ease is dope.
