Poppy - Zig
59
Weirdly tame and boring at points for someone as eclectic and unique as Poppy.

Zig is the newest record from enigmatic pop singer, metal marauder, and Youtube phenomenon, Poppy. Poppy's musical career has been an interesting one to follow, as the former Youtuber would initially start her career in a pretty standard electropop/dance pop sound, slowly meshing her cutesy pop sound with harsh alt metal/pop crossovers with I Disagree, fusions into alt rock and power pop with 2021's Flux, and a full ... read more

Westside Gunn - And Then You Pray For Me
66
An artistic step into a more mainstream direction, with mixed results

Oh yeah, we back. Griselda has been having quite an odd year to say the least, as we really haven't heard from Griselda much this year. I mean, Conway has been dropping as much as Youngboy(to very inconsistent results), Benny hasn't dropped anything and has been teasing his record for the entire year, Boldy James has dropped like two ok records, and Rome just dropped recently, but even then, this is pretty tame for Griselda ... read more

Offset - SET IT OFF
64
An unkempt, sloppy trap record that also provides a lot of bangers in a few pockets.

BLAME IT ON SET is the newest record from Atlanta trap artist Offset, following a falling out with Migos and Takeoff's untimely death last year. Following these unfortunate events, Offset went somewhat under the radar, and now, is back with a statement, with these 21 tracks and hour of content. How does it turn out? Ultimately bloated and a mixed bag in many areas, but offers enough to keep Migos fans ... read more

Drake - For All The Dogs
51
Oh look, Drake dropped a Drake album, what a surprise!!!!

Yep, we're baaaaaaaaack. After about a year from Drake's last record, being his collaborative effort with 21 Savage, "Her Loss", a genuinely decent record from Drake that felt like a slight return to form for our favorite Canadian goober, I was actually looking somewhat forward to whatever Drake was gonna throw at us next. After a few months of teasing "For All The Dogs", it was clear that Drake was back in album ... read more

James Blake - Playing Robots into Heaven
84
James Blake embarks on a spiritual journey of self-healing and liberation on his newest album, showcasing this by reaching into his more electronic roots and crafting some of his most experimental music since the self-titled era.

Playing Robots Into Heaven is the newest record from UK R&B and electronic singer/producer James Blake, following some massive features over the course of the year, with appearances on UTOPIA, Love Sick, and the SpiderVerse soundtrack. With these higher profile ... read more

Hi Turbulence,

At 400 followers, I wanted to end the Imaginable series as a trilogy (some lists that I've compiled this year). Instead of lyrics (wild or sad), I wanted to focus more on production values for the last one. With that being said, I wanted to ask you a life-changing question: What is the hardest hitting banger imaginable?

Hi, TurbulenceSSB!! To celebrate 200 followers, I'll be doing a community list. The topic is mashups!

Hey Turbulence

I wanna apologize since I’m gonna cancel the list I’m making.
I feel like I’m procrastinating and school is now a thing for me and I’m getting less stuff done as a result.

Sorry for bothering, but thanks for participating.

Yeah, ASTROWORLD has a lot of atmospheric tracks like this one that are perfect for flights
The list is finally out.

Hey there, turb! I am almost at 100 reviews and I thought to myself, what would I review for my 100 review. What do you think? And it doesn't just have to be rock or metal. It can be anything. I will also be doing a community list on the most requested albums. Thank you!
