"First impressions: 1.Really like how all over the place the album is it feels like little fragments of Earl's psyche. 2. Instrumentals are extremely unique. 3. Earl continues to have one of the most assured flows of any rapper of his generation. 4. It is the perfect length based on how short the ..."  [+]  Reply

"Production is sleek. Beats infectious. Lyrics powerful and interesting. Songs varied yet unified. Janelle knows how to do it all seemingly effortlessly. Gonna take some time for me to really get into Pynk, I Got The Juice, and Americans. It'll probably happen at some point. P.s. Screwed is a bop...."  [+]  Reply

"There isn't a bad song on here; Ye's production is excellent despite all of the controversy surrounding him; Pusha T is still and excellent rapper and talented lyricist; the features play their part well. This album sounds like luxury rap. It's just SO SHORT!"  Reply

"The 1975's 3rd album 'A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships ' is quite simply a stunning album and clearly one of 2018's best albums. The album is a perfect commentary on the condition of the always online connected millennial and their struggles. For proof look no further than this line from..."  [+]  Reply

"It’s hard to know where it places after only one day of listening, but this is definitely one of my favorite releases of 2018. It has a similar feel to me as In Rainbows, in that there’s a perfect marriage of beauty and experimentation. The lyrics are also very timely, addressing the uncertainty ..."  [+]  Reply

"what the hell i've listened?! pure creativity, genuine and magical creativity. Nico's avantgarde is everywhere, polished by ambient electronic, free jazz echoes and art pop music at its best. By far, my personal favourite album from 2018."  Reply

"Feels like a classic of whatever genre it is, after one listen. Billed as being house and I think if you are coming to this expecting just house music, you'd be wrong. I honestly don't listen to much house music but here that genre feels like its the frame to which he's painted a collage of all s..."  [+]  Reply

"Because sometimes we do not care anymore about Migos news, we feel like we're talking about K-dot because we have to, and we think that this American hip-hop never seemed also absent, we need a guy like Barrington Hendricks, aka JPEGMAFIA. Peggy's music is first and foremost a very special atmosp..."  [+]  Reply
