Popular Reviews

Live At The Regal by B.B. King

Great voice, great backing band. Every song sounded exactly the same. I had to check to make sure it wasn’t accidentally playing the same song on repeat. Also would have rather just listened to a studio version without the crowd interrupting between every line and clapping over the songs. Kind of just annoyed me for the entirety. 4/10

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt

Honestly what the fuck is this doing on here. One of the ear grating, annoying albums I have ever had to listen to. The instrumentals would have been O.K. at best if they didn’t just loop for over 5 minutes at a time. Don’t even get me started about the little man drunkenly yelling into a megaphone on the lowest volume possible. What. the. FUCK! 1/10

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan

Wow this is bad. Generic crap. Sucks that whenever I see an album made after 2010 there’s a huge chance is going to be this shit. It’s like this music is made in a factory where the workers plug in a couple random things and poop out an album. Super overused backing beats, a style of singing that gets annoying 10 seconds in and then proceeds to not alter the rest of the album, disgusting description of sexual activities like a horny 14 year old wrote the lyrics and the list of mediocrity goes on. Then they input these messages about women being abused in between the songs that seem to only focus on sex, like what the fuck is that about? Sexualizing and demoralizing yourself, then immediately crying about being sexualized and demoralized? What a joke 1/10

Melodrama by Lorde

Wow she finds a way to combine all the problems I have with modern music into this hot shit album. Mouth full of marbles, check. Bullshit lyrics that talk about nothing, check. Over produced garbage with no use of real instruments, check. Painfully generic to the point that I would not be able to tell you this Lorde as opposed to the other hundred artists who sound like this crap, check. It’s times like these that I wouldn’t mind being deaf. 2/10

I don’t know what I thought LL Cool J sounded like but it was not this. Pleasantly surprised by the banger beats and his flow. “Around The Way Girl”s’ chorus was so smooth and weaved perfectly into the song at the right times. His lyrics are witty and full of finesse. This is possibly one of the biggest surprises so far with just how much I enjoyed this. “Milky Cereal” is probably my favorite song on the album. It was basically banger after banger. I found myself nodding along to every song and will probably relisten to this album a couple more times. 10/10
