Snail Mail - Ricochet
58

boring, unfortunately. butterfly is a little gem.

Geordie Greep - The New Sound
90

i forgive him for having a bit of a will wood voice

Fabiana Palladino - Fabiana Palladino
90

an album that does nostalgia but doesn't feel tacky how wonderful... one of the best sophisti-pop listens i've had because of her beautiful voice and the no-nonsense production... fabiana release more music mama

hemlocke springs - the apple tree under the sea
90

new wave your genre is in safe hands

Charli xcx - Wuthering Heights
60

half of this is decent and the other half is snoozefest mid pop songs, and none of the songs have lyrics that speak to the concept and themes of wuthering heights in the slightest. the lyricists, barring john cale, went for safety and simplicity, which does no justice to emily bronte. i have not seen the film yet and do not plan on it anytime soon, but i have an itch this soundtrack suits it well, and i mean that as an insult

TV Girl - French Exit
82

am i the only person that really likes come when you call...

The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys
88

i fuck heavy with this the punk stuff works on me, the average song ratings are pretty agreeable except meat hook is fire meathookmeathookmeahokhmehk

Charli xcx - Vroom Vroom
85

really great ep bogged down by whatever paradise is. rest in peace sophie

Cindy Lee - What's Tonight to Eternity
83

this made my teeth hum and my head hurt

New Order - Get Ready
83

surprisingly nice despite the fact i just don't like 90s new order nearly as much as their 80s stuff. as with republic, this strikes me as good party music mostly, but it is definitely better than republic. run wild made me smile, and i agree crystal is the best song on the album. also, this is my 200th lp listen of the year so that's fun

New Order - Republic
70

fun party music, just a little boring unfortunately. this cover isn't that bad y'all please relax...

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
90

will circle back on this... i have no nostalgia for this but it feels nostalgic. reminds me of lcd soundsystem sound of silver. standouts are jesus, etc., ashes of american flags, reservations

Self - Breakfast with Girls
83

very fun weird little album i rate this well

ROSALÍA - LUX
90

definitely need to relisten and reflect but this is very good... great use of the london symphony orchestra. need to delve into the lyrics. very cool

SPELLLING - The Turning Wheel
68

this has so many elements that i love and yet i'm let down, and that somehow makes this worse than it really is. it's hard to explain why the puzzle pieces didn't create a satisfying picture, but i'm totally unmoved by this album. "always" is good. this album isn't bad by any means but it doesn't do it for me. that's more frustrating than an album i don't like. man.

Type O Negative - October Rust
82

borders on corny at some points, but i still enjoyed this a lot. burnt flowers fallen and in praise of bacchus are sublime. the deep voice is a little hard to get used to but i'll definitely listen to more albums

Teena Marie - Starchild
84

because i’m twelve years old “my dear mr. gaye” cracked me up so badly, amazing song but woah when is that going to break into the zeitgeist. lovergirl and out on a limb are all-timers, alibi is underrated!

Lathe of Heaven - Aurora
75

i think it’s a bit hard to avoid being derivative with this sound, but this provides with a good listening experience and interesting lyrics. they do guitars better than synths.

Magdalena Bay - Second Sleep / Star Eyes
96

the sax and strings on star eyes oh my gawd

Die Spitz - Something to Consume
86

goes hard as hell, so glad that i stumbled onto it. banger album cover too. standouts: throw yourself to the sword, american porn, a strange moon/selenophilia
