album listens #120 - heavy metal - cameron winter

 

probably not gonna do this anymore but wanted to finish the ones i did last year so ik how many albums i did. this is a masterpiece. so perfect. the instrumentation is lush and beautiful but also super sparce and meaningful in its intention. lyrics are incredible, songwriting is weird and wonderful. just so so much character, ended up being my album of the year. love this so much

FAVOURITE SONG: I Know You Know, The Clover, Over the Pass, See You Free

RATING: 7/10

album listens #117 - gnx - kendrick lamar

 

not too sure how i feel about this yet. feels a lot like a collection of singles instead of kendrick's usual incredible storytelling so idk. still lots of incredible tunes obviously, kendrick would struggle to make a bad album but i'm just not sure it's resonated with me yet. gotta relisten a few times at least

FAVOURITE SONG: tv off, heart pt. 6

RATING: 7/10 upon first listen

album listens #116 - chromakopia - tyler, the creator

 

lyrically tyler is really great here but tbh didn't do a lot for me and have barely revisited it. few bangers tho

FAVOURITE SONG: Judge Judy

RATING: 6/10

album listens #115 -just another diamond day - vashti bunyan

 

super super nice. a little too sparse for my liking, which i know is the point, but the songwriting still leaves a little something to be desired.

FAVOURITE SONG: Swallow Song

RATING: 6 or 7/10

album listens #114 - surf's up - the beach boys

 

woah

FAVOURITE SONG: Disney Girls (1957)

RATING: 10/10

album listens #113 - blackstar - david bowie

 

took me so long to listen to this it was quite daunting. obviously it was going to be incredible but i think i hyped myself up to it too much so i need to relisten

FAVOURITE SONG: IDK SOZ

RATING: ?/10

album listens #112 - it's sorted - cheekface

 

really love the lyrics. love how cut and dry it is. super silly but leans into it 100% which i really respect + some genuinely really catchy choruses. like if parquet courts were less angry

FAVOURITE SONG: The Fringe, Popular 2, Largest Muscle, Life in a Bag

RATING: 9/10

album listens #111 - chromakopia - tyler, the creator

 

lyrically, tyler at his best, musically not so much - though they are a few bops

FAVOURITE SONG: Like Him (feat. Lola Young)

RATING: 6/10

album listens #110 - the puncture outfit - the puncture outfit

 

impossible to rate this one. perfect imo 

album listens #109 - in waves - jamie xx

 

really love what jamie xx does, it's so unique and creative he's got such a different sound to anything i've ever heard. sometimes gets a little repetitive but still enjoyed. saw him live and he played like 30 seconds of Gosh which annoyed me

FAVOURITE SONG: Baddy on the Floor, Treat Each Other Right, Waited All Night

RATING: 7/10
