Mort Garson - Didn't You Hear?
80

This album cover is really cool and atmospheric, regardless of what the movie is actually about which I have no idea. Listening to it feels a bit like going on a journey (obviously, it's a soundtrack), a synthy, retro, psychedelic journey.

Vulfpeck - The Joy of Music, The Job of Real Estate
75

The joy of individual vulfpeck songs, the job of putting together a cohesive album

Miley Cyrus - Plastic Hearts
60

Had it's moments in the first half, didn't care much for the rest. 6/10, Positively neutral

Tempesst - Must Be a Dream
50

Didn't have any strong feelings in either direction here for whatever reason. It was music and I listened to it

COIN - Dreamland
75

Pretty generic, but fun pop music. Shit doesn't always have to be extraordinary eh

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
70

Some real gems in here, an entertaining listen

Woody & Jeremy - Strange Satisfaction
80

Give me an awesome bold cover and some fun-ass groovy music and I'll be happy forever

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West
45

As with most 90's American rock – not for me :)

Mac Miller - Circles
95

Absolutely love the instrumentation and production. Though the lyrics and topics are sad the album doesn't sound somber, the way his thoughts are presented comes across as more "casual" and to the point, not dressed up to be overly dramatic or grandiose. Feels very genuine and human. Amazing record.

Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes - What Kinda Music
80

New rating 29. Sep.
Old rating: 75

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
50

Another one of these albums that have a ton of buzz around them that just doesn't click with me at all. Unmemorable and just ok.

Charles Manson - Lie: The Love and Terror Cult
NR

Pros:
* He's a good singer
* The super stripped back instrumentals and low quality recording is oddly appealing

Cons:
*He's essentially a serial killer

Daft Punk - Discovery
85

Lots of highlights on here, fun listening experience (even if Too Long is actually a bit too long).

Taylor Swift - folklore
75

Until now Taylor Swift was synonymous with "mainstream pop music" in my mind, so the fact that she can release an album like this and have it be good and not feel too forced or clichéd is very respectable. A coherent project, liking a lot if the production and instrumentation. Album art is pretty sick, adds a lot in terms of atmosphere and imagery. All in all a very unexpected but exciting and interesting album

Mort Garson - Mother Earth's Plantasia
100

The theme of this album is probably what keeps me coming back to it. The synth sounds feel oddly perfect for the theme, and I can just visualise a plant vibing hard and growing and photosynthesising and shit. Great ambiance for plants and people

The 1975 - Notes On A Conditional Form
55

"The 1975 sound" is alright most of the time, but on this album I enjoyed the instrumental tracks more than the "regular" ones. Not a very concise listening experience in general

Swans - To Be Kind
50

I don't get it

Hobo Johnson - The Rise of Hobo Johnson
45

Unique from anything else I've heard, interesting in that way, but it's too weird

Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
100

Original review:
Her voice is good, the lyrics are direct and witty, and the album cover deserves a 10/10 on its own. 8/10

Update 23 nov. 2020:
Her voice is great, actually. And I love her direct and witty writing. And the instrumentation is fantastic. And the cover is fucking awesome and adds such a cool atmosphere to the album. 9/10

Update 19 oct. 2021:
I was wrong the other times it's a 10/10

TV Girl - French Exit
35

Got very bored of this, didn't like the vocals very much, kept thinking it sounded like background music for a YouTube vlog
