Natalie Imbruglia's debut album, Left of the Middle, is a guilty pleasure from my teenage years that has stuck with me for well over 20 years now. While it's not necessarily a revolutionary or boundary pushing album, for its time or even now, Left of the Middle is a fantastic showcase for Imbruglia's promising career to come. Sadly, her popularity and relevancy peaked with Left of the Middle, but she continued releasing several equally interesting and noteworthy albums throughout her career ... read more
Weyes Blood's second album, Titanic Rising, is an ethereal masterpiece composed of captivatingly haunting melodies and introspective lyrics that beg for further examination. This specific grouping of tracks spans several genres and styles while seamlessly blending them together into a uniquely personal and emotional experience. To call this album anything short of a triumph would be unjust - its artistic vision and empathetic songwriting will grip you from the very opening and keep you fully ... read more
What a surprise 100 gecs has been! From the opening track's incorporation of the THX sound (Dumbest Girl Alive) to the chiptune-drenched finale (mememe), 10,000 gecs is a kinetic joyride.

In fact, I think the inherent abrasiveness to Ashnikko's music adds a bit of flavor that I can (mostly) get behind. Mind you, her aggressive and unrelenting energy is going to play best during specific moods - but I think when that mood strikes, WEEDKILLER is an entertaining album that ... read more
Upfront, I'll admit that I have a soft spot for Killer Mike. I've been a fan since first discovering him as a feature on a couple of OutKast tracks and then have followed him ever since. This album, MICHAEL, fittingly brings back Andre 3000 for a feature, along with Mike's frequent collaborator El-P from Run the Jewels - all adding to an experience that felt very nostalgic and welcoming upon first listen.
From the eyebrow raising opening, DOWN BY LAW, MICHAEL promises a unique and wild ride - ... read more
