"Mestarin Kynsi succeeds in its variance. The long time lengths allow for the songs to move in interesting and diverse directions. Each track is granted a unique structure and instrumentation. "Uusi Teknokratia" mixes synths, guitars and pan flute into a ten minute epic. On a less favorable note, ..."  [+]  Reply

"After listening all the way through, the only thing I had to say was "yeah, so what". It's very 'Default Pop'. It just seems like she's not really into it anymore. It's very unoffensive music, and I like being offended sometimes."  Reply

"The Beths return with their sophomore effort, released in the wake of their refreshingly strong debut. Jump Rope Gazers provides a sound and energy very similar to he one in the debut and stays mostly in safe waters. This album is much of the same in terms of sound and lyrics, but also shows the ..."  [+]  Reply

"Damn, this is quite the religious album. Jay Electronica and Jay-Z rapping a lot about being Black Israelites. The production is amazing beginning to end, but the lyrics aren't always the most engaging. Highlight for me is Shiny Suit Theory."  Reply

""Miss Colombia" is at it's best when it's in a march. The percussion booms forward while the horns and synths add emotion to Pimenta's lyrics of recovery and survival. Opposite, the album is at it's worst when its in its long ballads. The longer song times and understated instrumentals lose momen..."  [+]  Reply

"Sorry deliver the sleazy ennui soundtrack for the 20-somethings of today; an innovative patchwork of alternative goodness, mixing its sounds and words like a hazy drug-filled evening. Without ever fully giving the game away, Sorry maintain a prosaic mystery in their style, allowing the bands memb..."  [+]  Reply

"A solid live album. Mostly made up of tracks from Lost in the Dream and A Deeper Understanding. What makes this such a unique listen is the excellent production. This album is made up of live recordings from 2014-2019 that are beautifully synced together listeners could be easily mistake it as a ..."  [+]  Reply

"I didn't expect Cudi to jump onto trap so eagerly, but it makes much sense - seeing long time fan Travis Scott surpassing him in success - and it complements his rapping style fine. I have to respectfully disagree with OstrichGoat below; I think besides extending the measures of the beats to 8 be..."  [+]  Reply
