Pinned Review
Ichiko Aoba's seventh studio album 'Windswept Adan', the first on her self-founded label Hermine, is a monumental spectacle to experience within an otherwise-disappointing year of music. In a deeply troubled world, rife with systemic issues and hate from the ground up during a turbulent era of our lives resulting from a silent killer, the existence of Aoba is one of the very few instances in life where we ought to be universally thankful for. That, someone across the Pacific Ocean, just on the ... read more

'Tell Nori about me'
Inspired by featuring artist Paul McCartney's story on how he came up with The Beatles' hit 'Let It Be,' Only One features a vulnerable Kanye singing, with a hint of autotune, what his mother told him after her passing through his prayer... what she thinks of him and his life at the point of release. And perhaps in a parallel manner to that of his late mother, he continued to remain a person of God, started raising a family in the same manner she raised him, and most of ... read more

Korea’s most precious group makes a spectacular, long-awaited comeback that builds upon their post-Jonghyun sound and acts as a fundamental piece in SHINee’s shining World.
She Wolf is a quintessential exhibition of Shakira's vocal technicality and her constant pursuit of pop innovation, something that has enabled her to stay relevant for over three decades and counting. The electropop influences seen in the iconic title track of the same name and throughout the album (as well as hints of rock) undoubtedly helped secure Shakira's presence in both the Latin and English-spoken music hemisphere, a feat rarely achieved at the time of release... all due in part due to ... read more

Hello, I hope you're having a good day. For my next AOTY Icon Interview, I will be interviewing CLJesse. The question is, what is a music-related question you can ask Charlise. Please refrain from asking questions as simple as "What is your favorite album?" Please also refrain from asking for thoughts about a specific album or asking joke questions. I ask that you ask something thought-provoking and ambiguous. I will be selecting the best questions to ask Pipe. If you can't think of any questions, you have a week to think about them. I also recommend checking my shoutbox before asking the question just to verify it hasn't been asked already. The interview will be posted by the end of the month. Thank you!

I think this explanation is good enough lmao, but I'll say it's your "nearly 100"

Wei! What is an album that you've given a 100 score, and why so?
Simple explanations are fine enough, but detailed reasoning is of course welcome. If you have multiple 100s, then just pick one of them as your answer. It's for a list by the way. Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
