5/10
-
TLOP5 is a step in the right direction, but Pi’erre still has a ways to go when it comes to song pacing and vocal performance.
-
Butterfly 3000 barely scratches the surface of its more synth-centric direction.
-
Somehow the accompanying dark ambience of Hagbulbia leaves a stronger impression than Avow.
-
Spots of Exodus are timely and effective celebrations of DMX’s memory; others sound sadly rushed.
-
Between a few tracks hitting and Rivers singing “pump it up into me, please daddy” as a hook, Van Weezer is pretty much a mid-tier Weezer album.
-
Young Thug and company are back with an even more bloated and inconsistent comp-like album.
-
The bland and scant musical ideas don’t support DEACON‘s emotional weight.
-
While Quadeca generally kills it on the production side of From Me to You, sadly the vocal content can be a bit grating.
-
-
Pale Waves bring little more than the fundamentals on their sophomore album.
