definitely not easy for non-urban listeners, you could listen to "Big" in album and thats all the album is about. otherwise, as for emeli, im a fan of "real life" but a lot of peeps in music section album there love it so much.

Everything Everything - Raw Data Feel

 

robotic autopiloting album up until mid slowdown and turned into solid indie pop second half, not disappointing

Liam Gallagher - C'MON YOU KNOW

 

another contender for worst album of the year, no words.

fav: Better Days, Everything's Electric

classic thrash metal with lack of creativity. Ignore that, it’s banger after bangers for cardio session.

fav: conquer and destroy, pride comes before the fall, killer of Jesus

 

 

Joyce Manor - 40 Oz. To fresco

 

Short little geeky punk, let me guess they are California band too. Straight back to school drama.

janky star - grace ives

 

Basic addictive synth pop, cute and beyond, atrl should pay attention to this project

fav: isn’t it lovely, on the ground, angel of business

Best non-children lullaby in utopia, rock infused spoken words, take intelligent to not understand

µ-Ziq - Magic Pony Ride

Inconsistent but it’s breakbeat/icm so just how it is. Based rpg game ost.

fav: brown chaos, shulem’s theme, unless

 

shearwater - the great awakening 

 

Not on “rooks” level, not sure why empty orchestra there, quite inconsistent if I be honest

IANAI - Sunir

Finnish folk with tribal influences, not totally love but grand quality efforts

17th June 2022

 

 

Tim Bernardes - Mil Coisas Invisíveis

 

stunning brazilian chamber pop, so fluffy and beautiful, perfect for dating. yet feel like one long song.

fav: MEUS 26, ESSE AR, A Balada de Tim Bernardes

fav: Hold The Line, Mulholland Dr., Wretched

 

 

Hercules & Love Affair - In Amber

zErO boP WaShEd uP!!! not quite that though, elegant christian concept and tension buildup. Underrated.

fav: you’ve won the war, gate of separation, poisonous storytelling

 

nova twins - supernova

 

Cheeky lyrics to make up non bridge or instrument solo on this industrial rap rock. They should do full punk next.

fav: cleopatra, puzzles, toolbox

 

 

Yaya bey - remember your north star

cozy alicia keys vibe r&b that remind me of noname album instead. nothing outstanding to me though.

fav: keisha, meet me in Brooklyn, blessings

Fake voicemails and featuring saved album from his fake retire/creative bankruptcy. one of better “mixtape”

white ward - false light 

Sax+piano solo on wowzer blackgaze album. Lack of variation/one-noted but storytelling and atmospheric are incredible.

Fav: leviathan, cronus 

 

 

ry x - blood moon

 

whether you feel his vocal or not, this minimal reverb still drags too long with too little contents. if you love his voice, get ready 

fav: colorblind, crawl, come back

 

 

Kevin gates - Khaza 
 

once the kinks off (uncle rap, cringe bars, messy dated beat, gross autotune) it’s non-stop solid bangers from front to back. 

fav: from “bad for me” to “shoot my shot”, black clouds

 

 

example - we may grow old but we never grow up

 

self-awareness is cute, what will be next album title im curious. Questionable rap tracks all around and made only for his old fans

fav: internal affairs, DEEP, every single time

fav: Don't Give Up On Us, Still Believe In Love, United We Stand

 

 

Viagra Boys - Cave World

 

punk post-pandemic politic/society theme, lyrics are quite more serious tone and really awkward to bop in there. nailed it

fav: Baby Criminal, Add, Aint No Thief

 

 

Laura Veirs - Found Light

 

quartet jazz element over her folk based on this smooth library tour album, favor for nerd and tacky on pop rock's last track

Westside Gunn - Peace "Fly" God

 

samples are standout and slay here, carefree bars and funsy rap are sweet treat on yet to come his next full album soon

Wu-Lu - Loggerhead

 

UK experimental hiphop act, too much reverb it hurts my nerve, girl pls. few last post-punk tracks low-key saved this mess

Katy J Pearson - Sound of the Morning

 

huge stevie nicks influence for scenic driving on your weekend leisure. album matches the cover, fresh fun happiness for all

fav: Storm To Pass, Riverbed, Alligator

 

 

Wormrot - Hiss

 

this grindcore is great because of the refreshing "punk" format with instruments effect varieties. quite unique on its own

fav: Desolate Landscapes, Sea of Disease, Broken Maze, Seizures

 

 

Caterina Barbieri - Spirit Exit

 

squeaky hypnotic electronic, the dynamic and pacing are whole experience to amaze you on transcending dimension.

fav: Transfixed, Broken Melody

 

 

Kota the Friend - MEMO

 

wordplays and flows are solid but that's about it, boring coffee shop lofi beat and boring uninspired contents. eyeroll

fav: EMPTY CUP, SOHO HOUSE, GOOD FRIDAY

fresh from ESC, predictable sound following up their entry "dark side". definition of boy band on their metalcore/emo cosplay.

15th July 2022

   

 

black midi - Hellfire

 

less instant than last one, short album isn't work on this storyline and dive into more avant-prog side. still black still midi

fav: The Race Is About To Begin, Dangerous Liaisons, Welcome To Hell

 

 

Interpol - The Other Side of Make-Believe

 

quality-wise they blindly crawl back and successfully do so. thanks to producers because band now badly washed and suck. 

fav: Renegade Hearts, Fables, Something Changed

 

 

Ne-Yo - Self Explanatory

 

like album to pull off for getting out of contract, tacky lyrics and weird singing/rap all over the places. he got decent career so... 

fav: After Party, Proud of You, Want It All or Nothing

 

 

Lloyd Banks - The Course Of The Inevitable 2

 

total flip from part 1, his nostalgia rap back while keeping most underground in check, not surprise its clunky work in all consider.

fav: Trapped, Value of a Check, On My Way

 

 

Working Men's Club - Fear Fear

 

new rave/synthpop that understand the assignments always welcome, feel more like gym playlist and more upbeat than peers.

fav: Heart Attack, Ploys, 19

 

 

 

Jay Chou - Greatest Works of Art 

 

case study of mid life crisis all in one album, his boyish image/visual/sound here reminisce of his first 4 albums. guy is 43

fav: 紅顏如霜 (Cold Hearted), 錯過的煙火 (You Are The Firework I Missed), 我是如此相信 (I Truly Believe)

 

 

Senses Fail - Hell Is In Your Head

 

grade 6 probably compose better lyrics than these guys, questionable pop-punk creative direction. mindless bops though.

fav: Miles to Go, Lush Rimbaugh, The Fire Sermon

 

 

Lera Lynn - Something More Than Love

 

heavily prioritize dream pop this time and few number of americana, her relaxing/yassified songwriting remains impeccable.

fav: Golden Sun, I'm Your Kamikaze, title track

 

 

Mantar - Pain Is Forever And This Is The End

 

crystal clean mixing sludge metal here that i cant stop giggling on his raspy vocal for more than 40 min. alice cooper could neva.

fav: Hang 'Em Low, Piss Ritual, Odysseus

 

 

Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp - 18

 

butcher set of jeff old demo adding few solo riffs and depp singing is painful, half-baked till the point that becomes unlistenable.

fav: Caroline, No, Don't Talk, Midnight Walker (all of these are instrumental)

22nd July 2022

 

 

Joey Bada$$ - 2000

 

hot heated bars from the man himself, approaching more on melodic upbeat with everyday/generic theme. stomp on drake again.

acoustic rock this time to make excuse that he doesnt make another satire album every year. weirdly additive on melodies.
