Katy Perry - Smile
59

What even is a champagne problem?

Tré Burt - Caught It From The Rye
87

Ooo I requested this one put on here a while back. It's an awesome folk album. Give it a listen

Samia - The Baby
86

I think there is a dud or two on here, but fuck there are some delicious, addicting tracks too. Really pleasant surprise from some no-name. Excited for more of her

Widowspeak - Plum
79

Pretty enjoyable

Kelly Lee Owens - Inner Song
78

Second good weird fishes cover this year

The Front Bottoms - In Sickness & in Flames
68

I never really cared for the front bottoms, but since they went to my high school, I try and keep an eye on them. Don't love this, but glad they're doing well

Bright Eyes - Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was
64

Wanna like bright eyes, can never quite get there

Nas - King's Disease
69

I don't know, maybe he's just old but I don't find his flow as enjoyable as it was on earlier stuff, even albums I didn't love. It just doesn't have the same personality

The Killers - Imploding the Mirage
62

Impressively uninteresting

Gillian Welch - Boots No. 2: The Lost Songs, Vol. 1
79

Gillian Welch is good and this is good

The Microphones - Microphones in 2020
87

why can't I find this on apple music?

Edit: So this was literally the last album I listened to in my 2020 review. Put it off because it wasn't on apple music. And holy fuck. Captivating. mesmerizing, beautiful. Easily my favorite Phil Elverum project

Dehd - Flower Of Devotion
79

Pretty fun if you ask me

Trevor Powers - Capricorn
64

Man the Year of Hibernation was amazing, and Trevor has followed it up with a decade of mediocre music

Fontaines D.C. - A Hero's Death
79

Not quite as fun as the debut but still super good. May revise up later. Pleasantly surprised to get another strong effort from them so fast after the debut

Courtney Marie Andrews - Old Flowers
66

Pretty boring tbh. And I usually love this kinda stuff

Jessy Lanza - All The Time
72

I always have found Jessy Lanza a bit of an enigma. I see some unrealized potential in her. And while this is well produced, a lot of it kinda fades into the background...

Taylor Swift - folklore
75

I approached this with curiosity because of the Aaron Dessner collab, and it was definitely the best Tswift record in a while after the last two kinda sucked. It's just so hard to evaluate Taylor objectively these days given her persona, and so some of that certainly is seeping in here. It's pretty easy to roll your eyes at some of the lyrics and what may seem like an insincere effort to be "indie." But there were some moments here in which she seemed more sincere and personal than ... read more

Blake Mills - Break Mirrors
76

Sounds like bright eyes

The Chicks - Gaslighter
75

A lot of the lyrics are a little too on the nose, but it's got some catchy moments

Ellie Goulding - Brightest Blue
59

remarkably uninspired
