Pinned Review
A preface, before the pretentiousness:
I sound overtly-fancy in this entire review, not only because this record's material is just so opaque that I think it needs this type of analysis and wording, but the record itself is also pretentious. For that, I do apologize. However, this was the hardest thing I've ever had to write. Over the course of two months, I've tried my hardest to collect and control my thoughts on this brilliantly fascinating experience. These have been difficult, gripping, ... read more

Welcome to another episode of Trey touching up on his Spanish skills. I hope you enjoy your stay, whether you understand it or not.
Estoy en conflicto. Quiero gustarme así como lo hizo con su primer récord de 2020. Esta se siente agotada, cansada. Parece que no tiene alma ni energía. Parece que se hizo sin razón. ¿Debería haberme esperado algo más de Bad Bunny? Tal vez no, pero aún así, todavía me quedan nada de lo que ... read more

What phases you about this anomaly? Is it her history on Disney shows and films? Is it her constant hatred from music critics? Is it the endless loud buzzing of her next projects? Well, personally, it’s how true she’s been to herself.
If there’s anything that “Plastic Hearts” proves, it’s progression. From making some of the most mind-melting, electropop of the 2010s to a matured pop rock of sorts at the turn of the decade, Miley Cyrus doesn’t shy away ... read more

An album so ground-breaking in its subject matter that I have to give it at least an ounce of respect.
When it comes to the ambience that which “Lavender Country” creates, it would be somewhere in between wholesome and musty. If ever those words were both put together before, I’d like to know where, because I haven’t heard anything that expels this sort-of energy quite like this project.

I mean, yeah, this is really nice!
While this record does exude a nostalgic and culture-specific identity, all it has going for it are some pretty vocal runs and a traditional mindset of composition. It's endearing to say the least, but doesn't leave a huge, life-altering stance in my mind. Maybe it's just not something I'd return to later on, although I still enjoyed myself throughout multiple listens.

It's ironic how one's setting can influence an album in such a strong manner.
For me, whenever I'm in a new place, or in a different situation, the album that I'm listening to always attaches itself to the lost memories of nostalgia. Fleet Foxes' "Crack Up" will always remind me of 2019's California trip with my friends. "Close to the Edge" by Yes reminds me of coming home from my very first piano performance. James Blake's "Assume Form" has me envisioning the ... read more

I was gonna do my own grand 7 list 'list week' up to Christmas day - those lists are private at the moment. I will set a date of the 15th December to have my top 50 all re-rated for you, if that's ok?
Nov 20, 2020
Abso-fucking-lutely! Nearly all of my top 50 have been rerated.

Same question as Kengoji, would you be able to fit me in the aggregate? I'm already hard at work ordering my top 100!
