5/10
-
PLAY ME mostly sounds like leftovers or afterthoughts from Kim's previous and great album The Collective.
-
Listening to 'The Romantic' mostly just makes you want to listen to the classic soul artists from whom Bruno is clearly pulling inspiration.
-
Xavier only sometimes plays to his strengths on his self-titled album.
-
Nas and Preemo mostly rest on their laurels on Light-Years.
-
With Heaven on Top feels like just the residuals of what made Zach's previous material so good.
-
-
-
Caesar's new album is pretty bland musically and under-explored thematically.
-
Street Sects are back with a bit of a return to form, as well as a mildly interesting detour.
-
Big Thief don't play to their strengths on Double Infinity.
