| Kanye West Graduation | 4.5 |
Graduation is a strong example of Kanye's progress in production and song structure.
Despite what seems like a majority of the people on here feel, this album is proof that mainstream hip-hop can be meaningful and unique while still being catchy.
With mastered beats, synthesizer touches, samples, and even classical elements, Graduation displays extraordinary production value.
I personally enjoyed all tracks on this album, with the exception of one:
"Drunk and Hot Girls" is a sore thumb when compared to the rest of the album.
Alas, this takes little away from the album.
A must have for anyone expecting fresh hip-hop.
4.6/5

| The Number Twelve Looks Like You Mongrel | 4.5 |
With the crisp, edgy sound of Mongrel, the Number Twelve Looks Like You will hit the right notes to anyone open to their style.
Mongrel takes the Number 12's sound to a new level with excellent production of musical compositions.
Yet these are not songs, but musical personal manifestos carried out by the band members musicianship.
A level of energy that can only be heard and felt through this band, Mongrel provides the listener with that medium.
Well crafted, unique and complex creations are carried out and are easily appreciated, yet not for everyone. The Number 12's sound will take some getting use to if you're not an avid listener of the six piece mathcore set. But something deeper and extraordinary lies within Mongrel that can be accepted by open ears.
Mongrel represents a sound that cannot be matched by any other modern artist, a sound of chaos and confusion, then again carefully organized and understandable; who expected music could be so schizophrenic? |
