frank ocean – channel ORANGE
def jam records | 2012

overall score: 98
overall stars: 5 out of 5 stars
overall grade: A+

(MY SECOND LONGEST REVIEW. It took me to write this for DAYS.)

it’s almost poetic how frank ocean’s channel ORANGE begins with the nostalgic, lo-fi buzz of an old tv turning on. it’s like he’s inviting us to tune into a world that’s both deeply personal and strangely surreal—one where love, wealth, heartbreak, and existential dread ... read more

childish gambino – bonfire
glassnote | 2011

overall score: 92

remember when this song got popular because of 2018 memes that showed cursed images with this song? pure nostalgia. i'm FUCKING sobbing right now... 😭😭😭

there was a time when bonfire wasn’t just a song—it was an experience. before tiktok took over and viral music moments became fleeting, this track lived rent-free in every chaotic, low-quality, cursed meme video that shows cursed images with this ... read more

this isn't an ep...

tyler, the creator – wolf
odd future records | 2013

overall score: 78
overall stars: 4 out of 5 stars
overall grade: B-

tyler, the creator’s wolf is an album that marked a shift in his artistry, showcasing both his growth as a producer and his willingness to explore more personal themes. while it still carries some of the shock-value humor and rebellious energy of goblin, wolf feels more refined, more sonically cohesive, and, at times, more emotionally raw. this is where ... read more

the microphones – the glow, pt. 2
k records | 2001
overall score: 100

reviewing one of my favorite albums, the glow, pt. 2 is not just an album—it's an experience, a journey through isolation, nostalgia, and the raw, imperfect beauty of life itself. phil elverum crafted something deeply intimate yet universally resonant, layering lo-fi folk, tape manipulation, distortion, and haunting melodies into a sprawling, emotionally overwhelming masterpiece. it's an album that ... read more

aphex twin – windowlicker
warp records | 1999

overall score: 85
overall stars: 4 out of 5 stars
overall grade: B

jeez, that cover art is something else... richard d. james really woke up one day and said, ‘yeah, let’s slap my cursed face onto a woman’s body and call it a day

windowlicker is one of the weirdest, funniest, and most impressive electronic releases ever. aphex twin takes his signature insanity and somehow makes it… sexy? well, as sexy as a track ... read more

kendrick lamar – not like us
top dawg entertainment | 2024
score: 86

this is where gen alphas or newgens attracted to kendrick lamar after seeing the news of kendrick lamar having beef with drake. yeah why? because they literally don't care about kendrick lamar until the beef happening 🤔 (im fan of kendrick lamar when he releases To Pimp a Butterfly)

"not like us" stands as a pivotal moment in kendrick lamar's discography, marking a direct confrontation with drake ... read more

radiohead – a moon shaped pool

xl recordings | 2016

overall score: 97
overall stars: 5 out of 5 stars
overall grade: A+

---

there are albums that feel like entire worlds—intricate, self-contained, and impossible to fully understand in just one listen. a moon shaped pool is one of those albums. it’s not just a collection of songs; it’s an experience, a slow-burning meditation on loss, memory, and time itself. radiohead has always been a band that thrives in ... read more

tyler, da creator – call me if you get lost & call me if you get lost: the estate sale
columbia records | 2021 & 2023
score: 86 (original) | 98 (the estate sale)

honestly, the estate sale is better than the original version of cmiygl

Baby Keem & Kendrick Llama – family ties
pgLang / Columbia Records | 2021

Overall Score: 86
Overall Stars: 4 out of 5 stars
Overall Grade: B+

not going crazy about this, but this is really good. family ties is a bold, dynamic track that feels like a chaotic baton pass between two generations of hip-hop. baby keem comes in with a braggadocious and erratic flow, spitting over the menacing horns like he's kicking down the door to mainstream dominance. then the beat switches, and ... read more

Drake & PartyNextDoor: $ome $exy $ongs 4 U
OVO Sound / Republic Records / Santa Anna | 2025

Overall Score: 30
Overall Stars: 2 out of 5 stars
Overall Grade: F

this is nothing but really awful. drake's latest collaboration with partynextdoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, is a dismal attempt to recapture the magic of their earlier works. released on valentine's day, the album feels like a desperate bid to stay relevant amidst drake's ongoing feud with kendrick lamar. unfortunately, ... read more
