| Drake Scorpion | 1.0 |
| Eminem Kamikaze | 3.5 |
| Eminem ironically whining about his last album being bad and calling out half of the entire industry is some gold entertainment. |
| Fall Out Boy M A N I A | 2.5 |
Yeah since its being delayed, this record will probably turn out better than it would have been if
released in September. But that wont defeat the direction the band is going for and purpose of
this project: Made-For-ESPN forgettable sports singles with simple yet bombastic chorus'. Folie
was their peak and M_________A_________N___________I__________A may as well be their lowest and
maybe even
final point. |

| Flume Hi This is Flume | 3.5 |
| Foster the People III | 4.0 |
| Foster the People are at their catchiest since Torches. This EP is an excellent example of how Hip Hop should be undertaken by mainstream indie pop/rock acts. |
| Foster the People Sacred Hearts Club | 4.0 |
| Hana Hana | 4.0 |
| Fantastic starter E.P., and a great way to reintroduce herself to the world. Nice dreamy production, and smooth stellar vocals filled with lots of potential. Curious to see if this upcoming artist is going to be the next Lorde perhaps? |

| Lana Del Rey Lust For Life | 2.0 |
| Overrated. Drags on like most other Lana Del Rey albums. This much 808 production does not suit her at all. By pulling that off, she got rid of the only thing that made her music at least a tiny bit distinctive. Not to say there are some decent moments though (Love, Tomorrow Never Came). Its just that this record is way too long and has way too many songs that follow the same exact moody and melancholic sound. I don't understand the hype behind her, excluding some of her earlier work which I thought was pretty decent. |
| MGMT Little Dark Age | 4.0 |
| No Rome RIP Indo Hisashi | 3.5 |
| Pale Waves All the Things I Never Said | 2.5 |
| It would be good if this EP was only The Tide and My Obsession. This band's habit of composing the same exact song with the same exact set of synths wont let them last long. They need variety. |
| Pale Waves My Mind Makes Noises | 2.0 |
Same old melodies and licks throughout all 14 tracks. They really do not know how to compose more
than 1 unique song. I'm baffled by how many people are actually digging the entire thing. They
can't distinguish themselves from The 1975 and, funny enough, themselves. Surprisingly, the only 2
good tracks are the one's produced by The 1975. |
| Panic! at the Disco Pray for the Wicked | 2.5 |
Not as bad as all of these pre-release negative ratings say it is. Some of these tracks actually
have decent melodies and choruses. But pass that, there isn't much really. The production is flat,
and the writing is so shallow and (at times) atrocious. God I miss Ryan Ross. |
| Paramore After Laughter | 4.0 |
| This album is such an excellent way for a pop punk band to progress. It is a very solid new wave attempt that still retains the classic "rocky" Paramore sound. The drum beats on this album are very distinct in sound. The guitars have a more'indie" flare, but still have a major presence in the music itself. Solid transition from self-titled to this. |
| Passion Pit Tremendous Sea of Love | 4.0 |
| This album is by far his best album since Gossamer. The experimentation and imperfections within the production wasn't something I was expecting to be as prevalent in a Passion Pit album as it had turned out to be, and it actually worked well together with the brutally honest lyricism and the album's concept as a whole. Highlights for me are "Somewhere Up There", "Hey K", and "For Sondra (It Means The World To Me)". |
| Porter Robinson Nurture | 4.5 |
| This album far exceeded my expectations. The sound Porter cultivated for himself here is amazing. |
| Rex Orange County Apricot Princess | 2.5 |
| Sir Sly Don't You Worry, Honey | 4.0 |
| Superorganism Superorganism | 3.5 |
| The 1975 A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships | 4.5 |
| The lyricism and experimentation is breathtaking and (arguably) progressive.rBut that doesn't stop stinkers Give Yourself a Try & TOOTIME from completely ruining the flow & rcohesion of the album. |
| The 1975 Notes on a Conditional Form | 3.5 |
This album is a solid personification of the band themselves. An inconsistent yet beautiful mess
that is all over the place sonically. Notes has some of their best material yet, but is dragged
down by filler instrumentals that don't seem to serve any real purpose in the flow of the
tracklist. But somehow, this inconsistency seems to work in their favor (most of the time). |
