Joji - Piss In The Wind (Deluxe)
85

the deluxe disc can be an album itself
score is weighted on how DIsc 2 improved the original release

original 75 -> deluxe 85

原口沙輔 [Sasuke Haraguchi] - イ三 [Isan]
90

wanna speak experimental?
match Sasuke's level and we'll talk.

サツキ [32ki] - Critical Damage
75

a solid album with some denominator points
i cant complain about japanese artists' rollout, because this is about the music. but what i can say related to the rollout, is how evident Satsuki's production style gradually changed overtime. from this maximalist production with ear screeching mixing, to overall, still the same maximalist production but more refined. (for comparison, see track 2 and 3)

and don't let this "album" deceive you. this is Satsuki's entire ... read more

Sơn Tùng M-TP - COME MY WAY
50

Tyga's verse carried MTP's indian singing. it ain' even proper english.
im guessing that the producer had to dumb down the lyrics for MTP to rap over

Quadeca - Dark Magic
85

thanks for the nightmare fuel quad

Charli xcx - SS26
80

this new era of charli xcx is confusing
unlike "Rock Music", this has more coherence and a good production. but for such a short song, it feels so repetitive with the chorus. same with the switch up in production. it's nice, but i wished it was combined with the song increasingly gets harsher as the song goes longer. ties with how the MV gets weirder as the song goes on.
not related to the song, but i wished the MV iterated more on the song's concept of "the world is ... read more

탁 [TAK] - numb numb
90

how does he keep pumping out bangers
and this MV was animated by an anime studio as well, holy shit

this song is basically magnet (the yuri vocaloid song), but remastered with teto, even though the original also got remastered

Drake - MAID OF HONOUR
35

decided to only listen to this one due to the overwhelming critics reviews (compared to the other two albums)

i'll give Drake one thing only, he's fun in his monotone rapping.
aside from that? horrendous beats all around, except Road Trips. but that got ruined by the terrible tinnitus-inducing mixing instead. also, what fire lyrics, eh? seriously. WHAT fire lyrics???
" "life just hard", oh you dont say? you need a lil' *motherfuckin'* donation" that ... read more

しぐれうい [Shigure Ui] - No Thank Cute!
75

this is probably the lowest i've rated for shigure ui
song is servicable, ui's "No thank Cute!" is true to the song, very cute
aside from that, song pretty normal. it fits the theme of the entire premise of the song, but nothing special either. best to listen with the MV, choreography, animation and graphics were as astounding as always

Charli xcx - Rock Music
50

I'm just confused. it has its moments, but most of the track is incomprehensible and pointless glitches. am i listening to a song or having Windows 11 crashing on me?

Chris Brown - BROWN
NR

1 hour and 32 minutes of pure shit from a butt
nah man im good on this one

DECO*27 - ラブパラ [Love Para]
85

due to the recent NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE
this to me feels like the new internet angels

Sufjan Stevens - Fourth of July
100

how the FUCK does this man create one perfect song, then stash away like 3 more of the same perfect song, but all unique and still soul crushing like the original

Camellia & Nanahira - 4orce!
NR

reading the lyrics on "Can I Friend You On Bassbook? Lol" is like the best decision i've made

雨衣 [Ui] - アメノチパレード [Amenochi Parade]
80

still a relatively new voisona, so there's not much quality content for a 20 track LP run
still had fun listening to this album! even if some of the songs are nursery rhymes or memes

Metric - Romanticize the Dive
90

an improvement over the last project by Metric (which is already a great LP run btw)

in Romanticize the Dive, they're done obsessing over the crumbling world around them, and instead, emerges a sound of youth-like fun and sombre, even though they're probably well over their 50s, which is kind of part of their music's charm. always experimental with the newest sounds, but underlies a familiar world they've built for themselves.

KIRA - CRASH THE PARTY
85

KIRA's production never fails to amaze me

MARON - YUNYUN HARDCORE
85

the only illuminati scheme that i would fuck with.

second half of the song is a fucking banger, great utilization of the Denpa-tic leitmotif

Mr Bruce - How Will We Know
85

best with headphones

"he def has the budget to hire vocal trainers, and a proper english teacher why not do that instead of taking the worst route ever; having an african producer teach how to rap in english?"

"i can see what you're saying, but like, there was an entire conversation in the song and you called out the on-beat grunts 😭😭😭"
On kurimanju's review of SAWTOWNE - LOVELY♥CAVITY
"fun fact, the English voicebank is tuned to his own voice as reference."
On nieuu's review of Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell (10th Anniversary Edition)
"i'd argue the reissue tracks are a separate entity from their original counterpart. like in Fourth of July (Version 4): lyrics are the same, sure. but the composition and production elevated the song to another level, changing the meaning from Carrie sending a message to Sufjan when she's on her death bed, to Carrie seeing off Sufjan while she's ascending to heaven."
On Doechii - Anxiety
"@r_wrld no. the song's copyright holder is still Gotye, managed by Eleven and Universal Music. Gotye has allowed non-commercial projects like student films to use the song, no charge, but he also has denied some commercial films to use the song based on his criteria for commercial use."
