Maggie Rogers’ debut studio album doesn’t have much in the way of memorable songwriting or a distinctive voice.
-
Tyler, the Creator leaves an awkward and weakly assembled Christmas EP under the tree.
-
Zoo‘s songs, with only a couple of exceptions, range from boring to awful and are further weighed down by Russ’s crummy mindset.
-
Valee doesn’t come through with a single flow worth stealing on his latest EP.
-
On Swimming, Mac Miller continues to work outside of his strengths without improving at all upon the obvious weaknesses of his previous album.
-
Tory Lanez is so similar to his contemporaries that it’s hard to see the point of Memories Don’t Die‘s existence.
-
6ix9ine brings a ton of aggression and energy to his debut mixtape, but lacks the versatility, charisma, and ear for interesting production to carry an entire project… even one that’s just 27 minutes.
-
A buffet of shit: Justin Timberlake’s new album is most likely the most horrendous cross-section of contemporary sounds you’re going to hear this year.

-
Lil Uzi Vert’s debut studio album is the musical equivalent to binge eating Sour Patch Kids.
