I'm too young to be properly nostalgic for the era of music this feels like it's emulating, so this doesn't connect with me as much as it maybe could otherwise. Tracks 3 and 4 are seriously rough. But other than that, this is still quite decent. I don't hate it at all, there's some really fun lyrical and vocal moments, and some wild production which gives the album a pretty compellingly liberated feel.

A beautiful fairytale in musical form, with effortless genre-bending and engaging songwriting in two different languages.

Songs number 3 and 4 in 5 years are even better than the first two arguably, maybe at this rate by 2040 we'll have an album!

I wish they'd make more together because these are so cool but why is it only two songs man.

This EP is somehow even stronger than their second, which I really enjoyed. Endless energy, charisma for days, thick, heavy-hitting instrumental tones - it's got everything you'd want from a project like this.

I don't know how, but Jesse Welles manages to keep improving more and more with every new release. This is a brilliant project, with some of his most compellingly wistful deliveries and sentiments, and some of his strongest writing.

This is utterly brilliant. The atmosphere is grand and captivating; Rory Rodriguez shows off incredibly impressive vocal chops both when it comes to his cleans and his screaming; the tones of the instruments are crisp and well-balanced. And, crucially, the writing is raw and emotional, making this a very compelling listen.

I absolutely loved the vibe of this album, it's so tender and charming; the production is airy and magical, the vocals are fun and the writing is surprisingly poetic in some places. Really good, a surprisingly nice one for me.

There's some really nice moments on here but some of the writing is extremely "old man yells at cloud" coded, especially "Lets Roll Again" and "big change". Young's voice still sounds surprisingly decent, and the instrumentals are quite pleasant too. Not great, but a thoroughly serviceable album.

Lorde is one of the many artists who have fallen victim to people not accepting change. Why does everything have to be about Melodrama? I think Virgin more than deserves to exist in its own right, as its own body of work. The writing is brilliant, some of the best Lorde has done; the production is oftentimes simplistic, but it works perfectly; and when it does become more complicated, it's absolutely gorgeous. Lorde's vocals are great too, earnest and unrestrained, really putting ... read more

Last two tracks are skips but overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by this. I don't expect to enjoy music from most Morgan Wallen collaborators, but this actually had some heart to it.

I love this kind of deep, rich vocals so much. The instrumentals fit perfectly too, and I love how the writing is balanced between feeling emotional and lighter than a lot of similar music

The first half is really, really great, with some amazing tracks, great production, nice vocals; "Relationships" is especially amazing. I love the general vibe and atmosphere of the record, it really wraps you in it as it goes on. But the album really begins to drag as we go into double-digit track numbers. Shave like 10 minutes off the runtime and this would improve a lot

Most of the beats are great, and most of the flows are tight; however, there are some SERIOUS skips on this thing which drag it down quite a bit. Also for the love of God please, Aitch, never talk about sex again. You sound so weird doing it.

Frat bro abruptly decides he wants to be sentimental but doesn't have anywhere near enough emotional depth to pull it off type music.
ALSO WHO THE HELL DANCES AT THE MOVIES

Perfectly decent pop/pop-rock album with a couple of great, super catchy tracks thrown in. Not the most interesting project but an enjoyable listen nonetheless

This is...a really good Yungblud album???
After the nighmarish mess of his self-titled record, nothing could've made me expect this. It's so much more mature and self-aware than anything else he's made, and so much more sonically consistent. Good stuff, shockingly

A definite upgrade on her already very pleasant first album, a real step up in terms of both vocals and production. Definitely an artist to watch for the future in R&B/neo-soul

Simple, but extremely smooth R&B/neo-soul, with some really compelling vocal moments and nice songwriting. Nothing crazy, but a very pleasant listen

Absolutely buck-wild listen, with some deeply unhinged vocals and haunting aesthetics. Fantastic work which I would take a lot more seriously if their name wasn't this goofy (this is a joke, their band name doesn't actually alter my perception of their work)
