Balances a nice blend of jazz, gospel, pop, and RnB. "Strangers By Nature", "Cry Your Heart Out", "Oh My God", and "I Drink Wine" are pretty excellent tracks, some of the best in Adele's discography, the whole thing backed by rock-solid, intimate production and some of the best, most passionate vocal performances the woman's ever given. At an hour long, the whole thing's a little too meandering - songs like "Hold On" and "To Be Loved" could have been halved entirely. That dragging runtime hurts the album in the long run, but other than that, 30 is a rock-solid, powerful record, wonderfully personal and evocative.AFI Sing the SorrowAlter Bridge BlackbirdAnais Mitchell HadestownAnderson .Paak MalibuArchive LondiniumBruno Mars 24K MagicBuckethead Rainy DaysCarly Rae Jepsen Emotion: Side BChris Stapleton TravellerCHVRCHES The Bones of What You BelieveCHVRCHES Screen ViolenceCraig David Born to Do ItD'Angelo Brown SugarDepeche Mode Songs of Faith and DevotionDepeche Mode Music for the MassesDr. Dre The ChronicDr. Dre 2001Eminem The Eminem ShowErykah Badu Mama's GunEsperanza Spalding EsperanzaFilter Title Of RecordFlow IsleFM-84 AtlasFoo Fighters In Your HonorFoo Fighters Wasting LightGorillaz Plastic BeachGotye Like Drawing BloodGotye BoardfaceHardline Double EclipseJ.

The hooks are strong, the instrumentation / arrangement is top notch - this is elegant electropop at its finest. There's a momentary lull in the late middle that drags the pacing of the record down - some tracks could have been re-organized or shelved entirely. Even so, there's some great material on here. 3.8/5. Best Songs: Everything Matters, Giving In To The Love, Cure For Me, Blood In The Wine, This Could Be A DreamBeach House Once Twice Melodygorgeous and lush but too samey throughout - almost *too* easy to zone out to this. the lyric videos for all of these songs are abstract masterpieces though, I kinda love them all. the standout tracks are excellent: title track, Superstar, Sunset, Many Nights, and especially The Bells and (the crown jewel) Masquerade, two of the best songs I've heard this year. these songs are so good that I wish I could rank this higher, but taken as a whole it's repetitive.

"hurricane" is one of the finest solo male songs from 2000's theatre, and "playing his game" is a fierce, ferocious banger; the duets between L and Light are the undeniable highlight of the whole album. there's a few too many ballads on this LP - some of them sound good ("when love comes" and "mortals and fools" come to mind), but they hardly fit the overall sound of death note. an enjoyable Broadway pop-rock opera that captures just enough of the sound of the show's OST to sound unique - that said, it could have benefitted from more of Death Note's atmospheric vibe and overall sound.Genesis Invisible TouchHardline IITight, consistent jog through some catchy, snappy AOR melodic rock. Late midsection drags its heels somewhat, pretty frontloaded as a whole. Standout Tracks: Hold Me Down, Y, Paralyzed, Face the Night, Way It Is & Way It GoesHardline LifeAlbum full of unpretentious but well-constructed 80's-derived rockers. Simmers with high energy and confidence throughout, held back only by occasionally dull or by-the-numbers moments.

The rest of the album never reaches these heights and stays at a "pretty fine" level throughout, though there's a handful of standouts here and there: "Bittersweet Melody", "It Was You", "Blue Eternal", and "Forgotten You" are particularly solid tracks. All in all, a nice collection of acoustic pop, pop punk, and electronic rock.

One of Adam Young's better releases, which is a shame because a fair deal of these songs tend to blend together. Owl City has a distinctively dreamy, lush, bright-faced synthpop sound that was established very, very well on the project's first album, but unfortunately for Adam, he has a tendency to recycle similar-sounding, somewhat autotuned vocal melodies and insist upon quirky lyrics that drown out the pleasant instrumentals. Standouts: Saltwater Room, Early Birdie, Air Traffic, On The WingOwl City Ocean Eyes3 / 5. The nerfed Postal Service indeed. Kinda surprised that I wound up liking this slightly *less* than Adam's debut. The standouts - Fireflies, Vanilla Twilight, and especially Cave In - are easily as strong as, if not stronger than, the highlights from Maybe I'm Dreaming, but there's a considerable amount of filler present here that makes the album a slog to get through.

The weakest cuts on this album are the oldies-rock knockoffs and the strongest songs rarely have much in common with that throwback aesthetic, so there's a schism present here that's hard to ignore. Gotye's voice is excellent. Standouts: Rattle My Chain, Bitten By The Same Bug, Better, Sound Off, Lookin Over My ShoulderThe Basics Get BackSome pretty solid songs on here, and the old-timey 50s approach was unique for the 2000s, but this is a novelty record at the end of the day. Noteworthy for having Gotye before his international breakout. Standouts: Did I Ever Stand A Chance, I Could Go On, Can You Trust Me, KarolinaThe Beatles Sgt.

I can't even say this was a 'bold and daring step in a new direction' because I couldn't even tell you if this album even *had* a direction in mind. i can almost respect the impulse to just say 'fuck it' and do whatever the hell you want, but most of the material here just isn't that interesting or multifaceted enough to warrant that experimentation. 2/5.Buckethead Grand Gallery...interesting Chance the Rapper The Big DayCHVRCHES Love Is DeadColdplay Music of the SpheresConverge Jane DoeDrake ViewsEd Sheeran =Fall Out Boy Save Rock and RollFall Out Boy So Much (For) StardustImagine Dragons Night VisionsJustin Timberlake Man of the WoodsKanye West Jesus Is KingLimp Bizkit Gold CobraLin-Manuel Miranda Hamilton - Original Broadway CastLin-Manuel Miranda In the Heights (Original Soundtrack - w/ Cast)Lizzo SpecialMaroon 5 OverexposedMaroon 5 VMetallica LoadMetallica Death MagneticMetallica Hardwired...To Self-DestructPillar Where Do We Go from Herefrontline is a banger, but literally every song sounds just like frontline so who needs the rest of the songs when you have frontline?Prince N.E.W.SA strange one for Prince, made during a strange point in his life. A bold but inconsistent and unwieldy departure from the norm of the Purple One. At four tracks and sixty minutes, the album is far too long and marked by too many strange passages to be considered good (or cohesive, for that matter). "East" is probably the strongest cut on here whereas "West" is an incoherent, messy number that refuses to build any reliable center. Kinda hard to rank this one since it's too jumbled to put on as background music and entirely too long and meandering to benefit from an in-depth, critical listen. Prince Welcome 2 AmericaQuelle Chris DEATHFAMEdeadass struggling to remember a good chunk of it. it's strange and psychedelic and cryptic and trip-hoppy and that's cool for like the first five minutes but the gimmick wears thin when Quelle Chris doesn't do much to expound or variate from that basic template. there's also way too many spoken-word samples carelessly taking the place of other verses n bars, as if Quelle and his crew didn't wanna pen more lyrics than they absolutely had to so they opted to fill the silence with random samples. kinda cool in places, like DEATHFAME (title track) or So Tired You Can't Stop Dreaming, but this mostly didn't really do it for me.Simple Plan Harder Than It LooksTwenty One Pilots BlurryfaceVarious Artists The Hamilton Mixtape1.5 very poorBo Burnham Inside (The Songs)Eminem EncoreImagine Dragons OriginsMaroon 5 Red Pill BluesMetallica St. AngerOwl City All Things Bright And BeautifulI listened to this entire album and I deadass couldn't hum a single bar from any of its songs once I was finished with it. If you held a gun to my head and asked me to sing any phrase or segment from "Alligator Sky", you'd probably have to pull the trigger. The production is top-notch, as always, but it's all in service to a bunch of bland, hollow songs without any drive, tension, or urgency. It's not quite 'chill' enough to put on as background music, but it's not interesting enough to demand your attention, so it just faintly exists in this 'nothing' space that makes you nod off but not fall asleep, per se. Adam has at least beaten the 'Postal Service knockoff' allegations by deciding to be boring as hell, so I'll give him that.Owl City The Midsummer StationA part of me wants to say 'well, I liked it more than than All Things Bright and Beautiful!' But it's been a couple weeks since I listened to this album and I've already forgotten basically every single song, so I honestly couldn't tell you *why* I impulsively felt that way. It's the same blank-slate, factory-made synthpop as always where glitzy production takes the place of catchiness, depth, and nuance.Panic! at the Disco Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!good ol Brendon Urie helping me raise my objectivity ratingPanic! at the Disco Death of a BachelorPanic! at the Disco Pray for the WickedThe Offspring Let the Bad Times Rollthere's like only three good songs on here, and honestly one of them just sounds like an above-average fall out boy song. the production sucks, everything is over-compressed to hell and blend together into a singular, amorphous mix. dexter still sounds surprisingly good in spite of the occasionally obvious bit of autotune. songwriting sucks throughout, it feels like they're barely even trying anymore. i know these guys are getting on in years but that's no excuse. 2/51.0 awful100 Gecs 1000 gecsBrain I'm BrainBurzum FilosofemBurzum BurzumColdplay A Head Full of DreamsDrake Certified Lover BoyDrake For All The DogsEd Sheeran –Eminem RelapseEminem RevivalFall Out Boy M A N I AImagine Dragons Mercury - Act 1Kanye West Donda 2Lil Dicky Professional RapperLil Nas X MonteroLou Reed and Metallica LuluMaroon 5 JordiNostalgia Critic The WallPanic! at the Disco A Fever You Can't Sweat Out"Build God Then We'll Talk" is one of the worst fucking songs of all time, that song eats shit and serves zero cunt and goes on for three-and-a-half agonizing minutes that feel like eleven.
