Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark
88

Help Me is a perfect song.

Bruno Mars - The Romantic
58

sadly lame. Bruno's never been a particularly compelling lyricist, but usually makes up for it in production and groove. This album, though, is lyrically lacking and productionally paltry. Listening to 'I Just Might,' I'm reminded intensely of his debut album and struck by a feeling that nothing's changed in 16 years. Uninspired. Maybe collaborating with Anderson .Paak again would provide the spark he needs to put out another banger LP. Also, terrible album cover. Why ... read more

Clairo - Charm
84

drumming and production is next-level. Maybe she's an industry plant but boy is that plant getting watered.

Daniel Caesar - Son Of Spergy
80

Been on loop in my brain and my phone since it released. Really good stuff, and that's coming from someone with no particular prior draws to gospel music.

Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes - What Kinda Music
82

underrated imo. Some real bangers on here (Nightrider, Tidal Wave, I Did It for You).

Geese - Getting Killed
95

Gotta be my favorite album of 2025

WILLOW - empathogen
84

Pretty underrated imo, just full of bangers.

Sabrina Carpenter - Man's Best Friend
65

Good production (maybe a little too sleek), but good god lady maybe go masturbate *before* hopping in the studio

Common - Be
94

just excellent

TURQUOISEDEATH - Guardian
76

I've never listened to an album of this genre before, but I really enjoyed it. Really well-produced, and fun sub-bass.

Elijah Fox - Wyoming (Piano Works)
80

Pretty samey sound between tracks, but that sound is so gorgeous that I mostly don't care. Outstanding album to study to at like 12:30 AM.

John Mayer - Continuum
76

I think I prefer the singles on Room for Squares (Neon, No Such Thing) but this album is clearly better overall. Vultures is great.

Edit: Neon is still good, but I've changed my mind. Gravity + Vultures clears. Vultures is easily his best song.

Yazz Ahmed - Polyhymnia
82

Really great stuff

Tyler, The Creator - DON'T TAP THE GLASS
72

tracks 6-9 are good, otherwise nothing to write home about imo

The 8-Bit Big Band - Orchestrator Emulator
NR

Another fun entry into 8BBB's catalog of video game jazz covers. Loving the references to jazz standards like Lil' Darlin' in the Athletic Theme and Chameleon in Waluigi Pinball. Because they consist exclusively of covers, furnishing these albums with a numerical rating feels weird to me. For that reason, I think it's only really worth comparing them against each other. With that in mind, I think this slots in above Game Changer and Press Start! but below Choose Your ... read more

Kali Uchis - Sincerely,
65

Wanted to like this album, but mostly didn't. Too gaudy. Angels All Around Me is good though.

John Mayer - Room for Squares
71

An enjoyable listen, though I don't think Adult Contemporary is my kind of genre at the end of the day. Neon, No Such Thing, and St. Patrick's Day stand out.

Rav - Beneath The Toxic Jungle
65

This should be higher but the rapping is so mid, what is this dude yapping about 😭
