This has to be one of the most entertaining albums of the year. The vibes on here are immaculate, Jessie really reinvents the disco genre in 2023. Who would've thought it'd ever come back, and that strongly, it's just crazy to me. Begin Again is top 10 song of the year for me easily.
The samples on this record are simply bad. How can you justify using one of Billie's track in the way Nicki did? It's terrible. That being said, I think y'all are being a bit harsh. This album isn't good but there's some tolerable moments on here like Let Me Calm Down and Last Time I Saw You. It's disappointing for sure though.
I wasn't a huge fan of last year's record, and this record doesn't really feel any different. It sounds very similar and is in general a very safe album. I'd lie if I said that greedy wasn't catchy af though.
This is a discovery from Fantano and he was onto something here. This is a beautiful and sweet voyage through her mind and while it feels like a heartbreak, it somehow feels good. It feels like the longer the song, the better they get. That almost 20 minutes stretch from songs 9 to 11 is simply amazing.
I don't know why it's high up in all these end of the year lists. It's very much a mid album, and there isn't really anything special to make it any different from any other ''house'' (i guess) albums released this year.
Also, that cover stinks.
I've defended iann times and times in the past, but I can't defend him anymore. While he did release a decent single recently, the short LP that he released last april wasn't it. Dude's been repeating the same shit over the same beats for years now and thinks he's gonna get away with it... Think again man.
I like this record. It's relaxing, it sounds good. I didn't know she was canadian too, which I think is cool. There's some pretty good moments on this album. Nice surprise.
Usually, I love myself a little bit of Metallica. Some of their songs are know as some of the most popular tracks in the history of metal music, and rightfully so. I hadn't really listened to their more recent stuff until this year. My question: is everything they've released in the past 25 years as bad as this? It's 12 way too long tracks, where the structure of the songs are repeated basically over and over again. Even James' vocals on this aren't that great, and it features the usual super ... read more
I'm so tired to hear NF rap over the same shitty beat, talk about the same topics and have the same flow and cadence he's had for the past like 10 years. And that's ignoring the overblown production EVERY FRICKING TIME HE RELEASES. Like geez man we know you're underrated and on a mission stop talking about it nonstop. Cordae, why'd you hop on this, you're better than that come on man.
It’s hard to believe that these are the guys that made all these anthems a few years back. This thing blows so bad. Let’s never forgive them for Not So Bad.
Well I guess it’s not only DJ Khaled that’s able to ruin a bunch of features on a record. I usually like DJ Drama’s work but this is not it
I didn't think it was possible for 6ix9ine to be more annoying than he already was but here we are, a trash reggaeton album. His career has been on life support ever since he ratted and this should be the last straw (but it won't somehow lol). On a positive note, Nota is actually not so bad, it's somewhat of a vibe.
Très bel album d'Aliocha. Si je ne me trompes pas, c'est la première fois qu'il s'essaie dans la musique franco. Si c'est le cas, tu devrais continuer comme ça mon boy, c'est un projet solide! C'est album avec une vibe très relax et des textes qui viennent droit du coeur.
In all honesty I didn't expect to like this at all when I first listened to it. This is a great authentic indie rock record that incorporates a bunch of sounds from various different genres of music. I can see why the critics are raving when talking about this album.
Some of my favorite songs of the year are on here. It’s a bit too long for my personal enjoyment, but it’s still a very solid record. I mean it’s Hozier, dude is just amazing.
I don’t get shoegaze to be honest. It’s a good genre but I don’t like it as much as some orher people seem to. I get why this could be loved and I do appreciate it to some extent, but it’s not an AOTY contender for me.

My first listen of this album ended up with me falling asleep in the middle of it. It's not a bad album, but my main thing is their style. I can't stand their genre of music for too long and especially Patrick Stump's voice. It gets on my nerves. But yeah all in all this is a pretty mid record.
Also We Didn't Start The Fire wasn't Billy Joel's best song, it didn't need a remake, ESPECIALLY not from Fall Out Boy...
I thought I disliked this album more than I actually did.There's some nice stretches on this record where we get some good old M83 vibes. The main issue here is just the length. This album is so lengthy by times and it gets way too long. 5 songs out of 13 that are over 6 minutes is mad.
I think I like Kali better as a feature artist. This is a pretty good album, but I don't really wish to come back to any tracks on here. It's not as good as Isolation to be honest.
