I'm honestly thinking of dropping a few of my short little summaries/reviews of albums that I listen to here. Here's the first few:
Tyler, the Creator
IGOR - 9/10
Strangely intriguing and abrasive synth-pop that has managed to capture my attention for longer than I feel it should have. Too many songs I love from this album, Earfquake, A Boy Is A Gun, What's Good, Gone Gone/ Thank You, Are We Still Friends, and more. Tyler has crafted something special here, and I'm left wondering if he'll continue in this new direction, or go back to his roots on his next album. Either way, I'm excited.
Weyes Blood
Titanic Rising - 10/10
This album is fantastic in every sense of the word. Every song brings something fascinating to the table, and, on top of it all, Natalie's voice is absolutely stunning. The harmonies and lyrics elevate this album beyond any pop album I've heard this year. One of the best of the year for sure.
Logic
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind - 1/10
Logic wastes many decent beats here on awful bars that range from forgettable to cringy as hell. He literally raps about how he would suck a d*** to prove he isn't homophobic. Masterclass writing there Logic.
Cultic
High Command - 1/10
The production alone is enough to give this a one, but this album has so many awful things about it that just add fuel to this dumpster fire. Awful lyrics, awful songwriting, bland song structures, terrible riffs. One of the worst albums of the year so far.
