album reviews

Reviews of albums old and new from iconic artists and up and coming musicians alike.

The Devil's Music? Or Just Good Music?
So let’s start off straight here. I first listened to a track off the Dead Poet Society’s The Exclamation Album because it popped up at random on Spotify radio. I saved it. I let it play a few times and then I inevitably forgot about it. Cut to my days binging Catfish and the Bottlemen and Nothing But Thieves, I finally take a look at their artist page. What did I learn, you may ask? Well, I learned that it isn’t just My Chemical Romance that can say the word fuck every other lyric and get away with it at high speed.

Everyone’s a Critic. Top Story - June 2022.
Drake dropped an album night before last night. I should say now that I like it even if nobody is wondering, even if it waters down the following points somehow (covering all bases sort of thing).

How Autotune Ruined The Hunna
I was eighteen, fresh out of an alternative High School program, and ready to fucking clean my kitchen. And I think some of you will know what I mean when I say I can’t clean jack shit without music on. Luckily for me, I had discovered a new British rock band several months prior called The Hunna. Now, they weren’t your usual run-of-the-mill kind of talented. They were raw and dirty and I liked every bit of it. At the time, their debut album, 100 hadn’t even been released. And in the age of homes and my shitty iPod touch, I had to scroll through YouTube every five minutes to get the music I wanted.

Honestly, Nevermind by Drake | Album Review
I was expecting at least a couple singles from Drake this summer, but I certainly wasn’t expecting an album — we aren’t too far removed from Certified Lover Boy. The only project I had on my radar for the midnight release was Joey Bada$$’s, 2000. Was this surprise drop just bad timing or did Bada$$ really not get the sample clearance? Either way, just as I suspected, this year has been electric in the music industry with Joey, Giveon, and Brent Faiyaz all dropping soon. Reviews of each will be released ASAP upon release.

My Review of "Harry Style's Album: Harry's House"
Harry Style's Album: Harry's House has recently come out in 2022. I remember 2 years ago I reviewed his album Fine Line. People seemed to like that review so I thought I'd give you my impressions on this next album of his.

Crash by Charlie XCX | Album Review
Crash by Charlie XCX ranges from dancingly beautiful to infuriatingly annoying as some of the highest potential tracks are marred by repetitive choruses and dystopian-like persistence for upbeat tempo and party atmosphere despite its inadequacy. This album feels straight out of an old Need for Speed game with the nostalgic capturing of an older form of pop that was so prevalent about 10 years ago. It certainly has its ups and downs but there is just enough potential and heart-racing thematics akin to a car crash that makes this album worth listening to.

Godbluff - Van Der Graaf Generator
A Little About Van Der Graaf Generator I am not sure when I first heard Van Der Graaf Generator. I had seen one in school physics lessons to demonstrate creating lightning in the school laboratory. I think I remember seeing the surreal cover of “Pawn Hearts” and noticing the title of the piece that took up side two “A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers”.

Blue Water Road by Kehlani | Album Review
The Oakland-native's third studio album is another step forward in her career, and they've never sounded more comfortable in their own skin.

New music in May. My top picks
I've wanted to write an article for a while now, but I just haven't found the right motivation too. Of course, I've got some pretty serious subject matters I should have covered, but it seems time has passed me by. However, I just couldn't let the last month pass me by without commenting about some of the music I have heard in the last month. So here I am 10 pm on a Tuesday, after eating a meal out with family and drinking two beers, trying to put together an article that does all the music that was released this month justice.

Melt My Eyez See Your Future by Denzel Curry | Album Review
Melt My Eyez See Your Future, as maybe expected by the title, is filled to the brim with psychedelic, “brain-melting” flows and tracks with an emphasis on a new approach in Denzel Curry’s music. Touching on a plethora of themes, including enlightenment and systematic oppression, the artist put together an interesting collection of tracks that mix between genius and skippable. For me, this album fits comfortably in the mid to high 7’s, just missing low 8’s.
