Very nice ambience, and interesting sound scapes. Feel like the album didn't really go anywhere though. Would have liked to see a bit more variation in the formula.

Lorde
What's to say? It's Lorde... She only gets better with age. AND THIS album shows her maturity from Pure Heroine. A true artist, always growing. She has reached the top and will influence generations to come.
A truly complete pop album with just the right fusion of other genres to keep the instrumentals fresh for new comers and the trained ear alike.
Very Realized, intentional, and tastey.

I like orange juice.
I hate Orange Juice.
Fermented, off putting, and pulpless.
It was a drag to get through.

Illinois
Sufjan Stevens
I want to put words on this, but they're hard to place.
Illinois (iLLi-noise)' by Sufjan Stevens, is a sonic journey - music the way it's supposed to be: puttting physical substance on metaphysical emotions that no arrangement of statements alone can express.
I don't give perfect 5's,
but this is as close as it gets.

Nas
If you've heard 90s hip hop, nothing will suprise you here.
Hard to be blown away by a sound that was copied over and over again for way too many years.
That being said... it's Nas, and if I was listening to this 20+ years ago it'd be one of my favorite albums out.
A must listen for any hip-hop fan.

Solid album.
Nothing stands out, no crazy message, just nice "good-time" music.
I'd listen again, and I couldn't see myself skipping any of the songs if they came on, but I also couldn't see myself seeking their music out.

Richard Thompson
I hated this for the most part.
Really pulling for Richard to get out of this situation.
It's not worth it Richard,
it never is.
Some good moments for sure, but overall it doesn't really take me anywhere.
It is an album about male opression afterall, so I guess that's the point.
At least all the instruments are real.

Elliott Smith
This album is insanely good.
Every song feels well thought out and intentionally composed,
each instrument coming in at just the right time, with the perfect melodies and rythmic structures.
The emotional push and pulls, the heavy ups and downs, are like a rollercoaster specifically designed by Elliott to me make you feel butterflies and bricks from your head to your dicks. (Or whatever else you have going on down there).
A must listen for people who want to feel, or need to find something they're not quite ready to actually find yet.
It is a hauntingly satisfying album, and I can't wait to hear more.
RIP Elliott, thanks for leaving some of your soul behind.

I suppose I cant keep skipping out on these.
Horrible stuff.
If your playlists consist of 311, Blink-182, The Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Breaking Benjamin, etc etc.,
then I'm sure you love this too.

Dinosaur Jr.
I have to be honest—I didn’t enjoy this album much at all. The guitar tone was, for the most part, pretty disappointing. I get that the distortion was meant to convey emotion, but it lacked any real texture; it just felt flat. The mix was also pretty bad. I know it was the ‘80s, and home studios weren’t what they are today, but I’ve heard plenty of ‘80s projects that sound way better. Even the composition didn’t do it for me. Maybe Surfer Rosa spoiled me with its whole distorted garage music vibe. Also, a lot of the endings had weak fade-outs or just awful guitar outros, showing they didn’t know how to end a song properly. This band is all junior and no dinosaur.
Rating: 2/5
