Big bro showed me this. This is really cool, except for like a 1/3 of the tracks. [First added to this chart: 08/04/2025]

I remember the YouTube hype and the day it came out. I was moving out.
This is still after a year, a pretty decent debut album from KSI.
Half of the songs is filler to terrible attempt at trap (Bad Lil Vibe, How It Feels, the near excruciating Wake Up Call), 1/3 is decent-good (What You Been On is a better opening track than I could've expected, Poppin' has a great beat though a lackluster performance from Lil Pump and Smokepurp, Millions is a failed albeit solid emotional song), the last third is bangers I still am playing, and will be playing for years (the to-the-point focused Killa Killa, the surfer bomb Domain, and the fearlessly fiery modern classic Down Like That).
Update 2024: Woah this sounds mediocre now. Every song grew a bit off me, even the terrible got worse. That being said, the opener What You Been On is great, and the 3-track run from the choppy Killa Killa, the semi-epic Domain and anthemic Down Like That is excellent. I called last mentioned a "fearlessly fiery classic" above, and now I don't feel that anymore, but I would if Lil Baby's verse wasn't there and Rick Ross either had a tad better bars or was replaced by an actual great rapper like Rocky. Still, it's impressive he went from making some bangers like these (and the highlights on the follow-up All Over The Place) to..... Thick of It? 🤢 [First added to this chart: 08/04/2025]

People mostly (if not always) pay attention to the much-publicized, consumer-heavy, radio-friendly music product. Well, here you go. 2020's commercially biggest pop album is.... not the worst actually. Well-produced, well-put together and has some focused pop tracks on it. I'm more surprised that it's Dua Lipa of all people who did it. Thinkin of how I still hate her debut album till this day, and she as a musician is still so derivative of wit or personality, Future Nostalgia is an improvement (somewhat but there's still a blatant difference). From the first whisper of "futurrre" on the opening title track, she walks inside with new songwriting sunglasses a la retro-80s revival trend, and a better rhythmic focus. Until I hear that song for the 4th time and it sounds thin.
Not many of the songs here are winners too. The corny-as-heck Physical sounds like an imitation of a bad Lady Gaga song, and the pacing seems off; Good In Bed is a cringey attempt at blending hip hop elements with clear-as-day unoriginal lyrics about sex (and keep in mind, the rest of the record isn't even original to begin with), and laughably bad rhymes ("It's bad / We drive each other mad / It might be kinda sad / But I think that's what makes us good in bed" no gosh no please no). The surprisingly EDM-styled Hallucinate continues the clichéd comparison of love and drug-related stuff, although the groove is mediocre but not bad.
And motherfathing Boys Will Be Boys. Everything I dislike about this pseudo-intellectual feminist pop music is included in this little disasterpiece. Don't even get me started why, but just like males can be insulting and annoying to females, this song is absolutely spit-in-the-face insulting and annoying to actual great feminist driven tunes. And considering that it's the end of an overall danceable party-album makes it worse: imagine having a nice party dance night out in the club and at that point, all the boys gets kicked out because... they're boys. Yep, that song ruins alot of its remaining album.
On the other side, the fine songs are some of the closest (mainstream) pop music I've come to like in 2020 or in years (besides obvious exceptions like Styles) though it isn't saying too much. The semi crisp Levitating has been refreshing to hear amongst all the pop muzak trash on the charts, though the chorus feels underwritten the more radioplay it got. The minimalistic Pretty Please is super groovy (reminds me of Another One Bites The Dust but in a cool way), yet the last third of the song is a little lazy compared to how stellar the first two is [it's also lame live, more on that in the next paragraph]. I used to borderline love the anthem Love Again, as it does a neat job sampling My Woman - although it's been sampled numerous times before, this somehow gives it new life - though I find the completely unnecessary blasphemy unforgivable, Dua (which is what ruined it for me).
But the candidate to the very highlight (and the only Dua Lipa song where I feel and think the stardom, praise, play, attention etc is kinda deserved and earned), the 4-minute blast of rhythm/melody/pacing/structure in Break My Heart, all embodies what made pop music good to begin with. I will say that the first verse, of just her compressed voice and wobbly bass in the background sounds very manufactured and has grown off me (plus it's a little fake deep), it's still a solid commercialized track. In this song, she doesn't really seem to sell the listener anything other than give a nice groove with a melodic swing.
Update July 2022: I just went to see her at the (Roskilde) Festival and all of my fellow friends said it was such a great concert. Key words: my friends, cause I thought not only was it super mediocre, but a massive disappointment (she is like the biggest pop star in the world right now and she was the most hyped performer of the entire festival). I don't wanna go into detail but every little element felt like a pale and poor imitation of a Beyoncé liveset. It made me realize even further that I don't at all like her music as much as just a baby handful of songs (... and as a person she seems cool I guess). But hey, some of those, I had such a great time hearing, and feel (i.e. dancing to), the best (of course) being Break My Heart and New Rules (which I now like more than ever). But the other ones, especially the songs I think are just true blue awful, were painful to be at (like Be The One, Good In Bed and of course Boys Will Be Boys). Maybe this was a wake-up call for me to quit smoking the pop music-tobacco. Nevertheless, definitely one of the worst concerts I have ever been to, and the beginning of my diminishing enjoyment for her (it went from 65 and down).
Update 2025: my gosh these songs sound like fucking commercials. That's a bad sign. [First added to this chart: 08/04/2025]
