Porter Robinson - Nurture (Japan Exclusive)
NR

I think people need to understand how good fullmoon lullaby is. I gave nurture a 100 and I still give it an 100 with this track

Various Artists - I Saw the TV Glow (Original Soundtrack)
80

If the film is like the soundtrack then I might have to watch it. I believe this is a very good compilation of different indie (not that I would call Phoebe Bridgers or Caroline Polachek indie) artist's styles.

Lil Nas X - Star Walkin’
90

Channelled my inner Spotify Wrapped Top Songs Of 2022 for this review. I remember this song because I decided to take a nostalgia trip and listen to it. Quite honestly Lil Nas X was one of the only "mainstream" artists that actually made it into that list apart from Porter Robinson.

The chorus. Flawless. I mean his vocal range on it is just very good. This was at a point where Lil Nas X was actually proving he wasn't a 1 album wonder. This came out months after his album and to ... read more

70

I dont even know how someone can define the genre of this album. It sounds like a mix of Nu-Metal mixed with hardstyle mixed with drum and bass at the same time.

This album isn't something I'd go back and listen to. I also think Panic Attack is overrated.

Favourite Tracks: Sick!!!, Nu Nu Meta Phenomena, Until I Die, Cicadas

Least Favourite Tracks: Ass2Mars, Schitzodipshit, Motherfather

Rxseboy - bloom
81

I really don't understand how this is rated at such a low score because at least half of the album contains bangers. I'm going to give a short rating for this because music is subjective and people may not like my take on this. It's not my favourite Rxseboy/sorrow/akuhmuh album but it has some serious bangers on this

1. bloom - 56
2. weird! - 88
3. mine - 99 (my top song of 2023 and I absolutely love it)
4. clouds - 77
5. can you wait for me? - 83
6. hit the road feat. Jomie - ... read more

ROSÉ - APT.
89

APAATIU APAATIU APAATIU APAATIU APAATIU APAATIU

Yeah this song is the embodiment of musicians having fun. I think these 2 work really well in bringing back the 2014 pop sound. Bruno Mars embodying his inner 24K magic on this track and it works so well. Bruno's version of the chorus just sounds so good. Then the upbeat section at the 1:45 mark and onward is just is flawless.

Do I think the lyrics are lacking? Yes. But so I find it fun? Yes.

(I hate whatever that music video is though)

Bon Iver - SABLE,
82

I'm not going to write a long review for this at all. Because how can anyone review a 12 second song.

Every track on this EP is an acoustic place of calmness especially THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS. Bon Iver's voice mixed with the violin and acoustics on S P E Y S I D E is really good. I feel like this EP will get talked about alot in the coming days and I feel like that's for the best.

AWARDS SEASON sounds like a blissful attempt at saying goodbye to something/someone. ... read more

Stray Kids - Come Play
50

I'll wait for the lyrics to be translated on the rapping parts. Korean and Spanish. Quite honestly this is quite an poor listen. It's got a really bad chorus.

Context:
Stray Kids = Korean group
Young Milo = "rapper" from Puerto Rico (and I say rapper because it's what I can infer from her verse
Tom Morello = 90s guitarist.

The chorus is... upbeat. I mean it does sound like the average term "co-worker" music but instead it's bilingual.

I am concerned ... read more

The Kid LAROI - THE FIRST TIME
83

This album is really good in alot of areas but disappoint on a few songs.

You have WHAT JUST HAPPENED? which is one of the best songs off the album and was quite frankly peak 2022 unreleased Kid Laroi. I used to listen to that song a ton using YouTube music (when I used it).

The Line (feat d4vd). I mean it doesn't take a lot of effort to see that I have a MASSIVE d4vd bias but I do genuinely think that both Laroi and David underperformed on this song. It's still a really good song ... read more

Skepta - Why Lie?
20

Was Skepta having a panic attack and under the influence for this to even be his first verse and to have Flo Milli on this song?

Why Flo Milli? In fairness when she started actually flowing in the last 1/2 of her verse it was actually decent

The lyrical contents of this chorus are actually so boring and the average rap song at this point.

BoyWithUke - Gaslight
55

was this whole song him talking about revenge f****** his ex's sister?

His vocals here sounds like he's trying to have a hit like Benson Boone but it sounds better than Benson's music. The instrumentals on this song are really good and consistent. I'd say his vocals sound too raspy at points but I don't think it's necessarily bad. Also when you get to the chorus you can barely hear what he's saying near the end of it without the lyrics beside you, so I'd ... read more

ericdoa - things with wings
76

I'm glad I've never left my ericdoa 2022 phase. Btw these ratings don't really matter cause I listen to the full album anyway.

commander dr is a beautiful song that everyone should listen to

glaive - May It Never Falter
79

Every 2020 Dream Smp viewer's top Spotify Wrapped hyperpop artist has released another album. Instead has decided to swap the directional sound into a sadboy (not mgk) Hyperpop album. Can I just open up with the fact that this might be the best album cover I've seen this year.

For God and country really opens with how vulnerable this album was actually going to be (note after re-listening alot of times, it didn't live up to that for me). With some angelic distortion in ... read more

Porter Robinson - Worlds
99

Worlds was the first album that I chose to I listen to ever. And I feel nostalgic thinking about it slightly. It's a 99 because I don't really like lionhearted and natural light compared to the others but it's a really great song

Charli xcx - Brat and it's completely different but also still brat
37

34 -> 37

God this is such a flop of an album in many so areas. It's a smart-ish idea having a whole remix album but this album just didn't provide anything consistently good at all. Judging by remixes only. I can say that most of the remixes are completely different to the original songs but I'd say most of the remixes are just genuinely worse in comparison to the originals. This remix album feels like a playlist. I seriously don't understand how you can go from ... read more

The Cure - A Fragile Thing
NR

This second release really improves on the first release for me. I prefer this one so much better. The fact that the songs have become more instrumental focused when they sound better integrated for longer sections of them is what I prefer with this "genre" of music. Lyrical components are far better compared to the last track as well for me. They've done it right this time

Coldplay - Moon Music (Full Moon Edition)
74

Why have they decided to release a deluxe album 2 days after the original album released - I want it to be known that these ratings will change when I listen to the album more.

Disc 2 Ratings ONLY:
Moon Music - Elodie - 60
A purely instrumental track this one, sounds so pretty in all honesty but I literally can't see myself listening to this again

feelslikeimfallinginlive - 87
I actually prefer the live clapping compared to the drums in the original song replacing the clapping. And I ... read more

Powfu - Mafia & Mugs Rootbeer
11

The Powfu fall off is fucking insane. He's going to be my top artist as well this year. And I don't want him to be.

Whatever the hell happened to his music idk. But I do know the allegations and tweets that he has posted in the past. And I'm not supporting him for them tweets - liked many transphobic tweets saying there's only 2 genders - and many more tweets and allegations. Such a shame that I learnt about this when he might be my top artist this year.

Track 1: RULE ... read more

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
89

I'm glad I randomly found this in insanely high critic scores cause this album is so good. (I cba to write a review rn)

Geordie Greep - The New Sound
89

Since black midi used to make consistently highly rated albums it was obvious this would be anticipated to be one of the better albums of the year. And seeing as the group split it's obvious Geordie wanted to have his own creative direction on a project. The real question is, is it the best album that has released this year? Simple answer is No. I could name at least 5 albums that I'd rather listen to more than this.

Yes there are multiple compliments I can give this album but I ... read more
