5.0 classic
Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties Routine Maintenance
WDHEO sounded like a stripped down Wonder Years with ornamental instrumentation (which isn?t a bad thing). Routine Maintenance sees Aaron West creating his own sound and continuing the narrative in a beautiful way.

Genuine AOTY contender. Intensely creative, emotionally battering, immense vocals, dark subject matter, and incredibly cohesive. Insanely blown away by this

I love everything about all of the sounds of this album. So many ideas are touched on, and touched on brilliantly. Even if the styles do switch up occasionally, the thing as a whole is so damn consistent and interesting. And the vocalist kills it every time. 4.4/5

The title track is one of the best mid-tempo pop-punk songs I?ve ever heard. Super promising pop-punk band with an amazing vocalist, almost a mix of Mayday Parade and The Wonder Years. A little hampered by production washing things out.

A really phenomenal (if slightly overproduced) mainstream country offering. Hooks for days, great vocals and lyrics, and some interesting ideas. "Hang In There Girl" may be one of the SOTY. On the other end, the closer is one of the worst songs I've ever heard and lowers this whole score by at least .5. It's an ode to styrofoam and is worse than that sounds

Some very strong highlights (Hyacinth, Strange Interactions in the Night, Monolith), but clearly an album of a band trying to find their sound. Their heavier emo moments take charge, but there's something to be said for the indie rock tracks they go for. Interested to see where they go from here

I made it through this twice without even realizing I was on the second listen. Very easy to get lost in, which is a good thing, but pretty homogenous, which is rough when it's an hour long.
Future Teens Breakup Season
Wonder Years with an emphasis on the poppier side of pop punk. Dual female/male vocalists, but it almost sounds like two different (but good) eps on shuffle instead of one coherent album.

I had never heard of this band four hours ago, but have now read like 20 articles about them and I think they're my new favorite band. I should probably listen to their music at some point too.

Tiny Moving Parts Breathe
This is a really solid pop punk album, but not a solid Tiny Moving Parts album. They changed up their sound and did it really well, but now it doesn't really stand out from any other album in the same genre. Couple of strong highlights though (Vertebrae, Polar Bear)

This is fun af honestly. Even if Monster is incredibly cringy, you best believe 7th grade me would
be yelling along to thag chorus and thinking about seventh grade right now is kind of nice

Moments of brilliance, but a lot of songs don?t know when to end. Makes the moments a whole lot less memorable. Opening and closing tracks are great though

It's certainly good and unique for 2020, but once the unique qualities of his voice stop
catching you off guard, there's nothing that special about his music. "Big Iron" is fun
though

A long time contributor to other artists, ghost gnotes sees Luke Mossman take the lead on his own. The last four tracks create a breathtaking closing, but the five tracks that come before seem to be barely formed thoughts, let alone songs.

This sounds very nice, but the lyrics are so out of touch that it?s laughable. Like there may be an audience out there right now for ?sad rich person escapism?, but I?m certainly not it. And with the way it?s delivered, I can?t even convince myself Lana is being ironic nor do I think she?s in on the joke. It all just feels kind of . . . Gross
