review
-
Be the Cowboy is arguably Mitski’s most mature release, but most of the songs feel like a faint breeze.
-
Slime Language is an unadventurous outing for Thugger and an unimpressive showcase of YSL’s roster.
-
Clear Tamei and Steel Mogu deepen the sound and lore of Iglooghost, though hopefully his next full-length album will do so to a greater extent.
-
Life’s a Trip has some surprisingly beautiful highlights, but Trippie Redd’s lyrics, song structures, and vocal consistency are still lacking overall.
-
While the trap-goth direction of “Pictures of You” could use some work, this debut EP solidifies HMLTD as one of the most promising post-punk groups out right now.
-
Nicki Minaj still has her energy, technical ability, and sharp lyricism going for her, but too often on Queen these are drowned out by generic production and horrid features.
-
Valee doesn’t come through with a single flow worth stealing on his latest EP.
-
Imperial Triumphant effectively conveys the decadence and decay of the Big Apple with a unique blend of blackened death metal and avant-garde jazz.
-
On Swimming, Mac Miller continues to work outside of his strengths without improving at all upon the obvious weaknesses of his previous album.
-
YG tries to Stay Dangerous by going the generic trap route.
