twenty one pilots - Clancy
68

The singles were REALLY good. Unfortunately, the rest of the album doesn't quite carry the same energy. I liked this record, I didn't love it. WHAT HAPPENED to "welcome back to Trench"? This didn't pick up the storyline or even the style of Trench, which is kinda disappointing. There are some high highs, like Vignette, which is an incredible atypical chamber pop banger. However, I'll always take away points for peepee poopoo bars and (SPOILER) this album has some and they're ... read more

Bladee - Cold Visions
84

Legit some of the best rage I've heard in a long time

St. Vincent - All Born Screaming
80

This one was great. MASSEDUCTION didn't really stick in my mind for whatever reason outside of a couple tracks, but this one was on a different level and I just keep coming back

Vampire Weekend - Mary Boone
100

If anybody was going to find a use for that old Enigma song, it was gonna be Ezra

Grimes - Art Angels
90

UM EXCUSE ME? How have I slept on this for almost a decade. This record completely changed my opinion on Grimes, and made me understand why she's so popular in the first place. This was way ahead of its time, and it's aged like fine wine

5

This must've been what they were doing in the body shop smh

Hobo Johnson - Hobo Johnson Alienates His Fanbase
NR

hobo johnson alienated everyone with this one tbh. bad on all objective measures, but kind of a musical shitpost and i enjoyed that part of it

Kristin Hayter - SAVED!
89

I love this concept and I'm super psyched to see this live

Sufjan Stevens - Javelin
100

Fuck yeah. He outdid himself and im not even sure how that’s possible

Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy
87

Vibrant, energetic and fun. If my mom asked me what kind of music it is, I'd have no idea how to describe it

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Silver Cord
70

Not exactly my thing, but really interesting nonetheless. I'm honestly just impressed at their versatility at this point. Also love the Kraftwerk influence

billy woods & Kenny Segal - Hiding Places
90

Cold, cutting and super sharp. Love love love this

파란노을 [Parannoul] - To See the Next Part of the Dream
82

Suddenly everything makes sense

I didn't understand a single word on this record, but I could feel what it was about

Edit 100->82:
Didn't really stick with me long-term tbh. Still a great post-rock record

Frank Ocean - Blonde
94

Perfect perfect perfect. I'll probably be retired before we hear the next one, tho

Alvvays - Blue Rev
85

Does the perfect summer album exist? Yes, and it's this one!

Dispatch - Bang Bang
87

Try as they might, Dispatch will never come close to the energy of this record again. The loud parts are really fun, and the quiet parts are heartfelt. This album was a key part of my adolescence

ODESZA - A Moment Apart
57

This one made me sad. Huge bump in production quality, but overall a more mundane, homogenous record that's just In Return but in a different font

ODESZA - In Return
70

This was THE record that propelled me through my "I'm only into obscure music, have you heard of Tame Impala?" phase

Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino
80

This was a massive pivot in terms of style for the group. Rumor has it that Alex Turner was originally going to record this as a solo project, but ended up getting together with the band to make it. I really didn't like it at first; I was expecting more AM vibes. But I just kept coming back, and it's since become one of my favorite of theirs. It paints this extraterrestrial underworld picture that is so vivid and compelling that it keeps drawing me back in. There are a couple of skips, but ... read more
