Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk (2024)

Imaginal Disk - ★★★★★ Finally, my review of Imaginal Disk. Probably no one was waiting for it unless one of my 10 followers thought "I need this guy's opinion on Imaginal Disk instead of the 30K people that have already reviewed it", but I was waiting for it. I always thought "I have to listen to this someday!" and then proceeded to not use my free time to listen to it. I don't know how I hadn't listened to this before but I should've listened sooner. For almost every song, at the start, I was like "this song doesn't sound like it will be a standout" and then somehow as the song goes on, it becomes a standout. Almost everything is a standout on this album. The ones that aren't standouts are the ones that stand out. This album has no skips. This album was so exciting to listen to, I got a heart attack in anticipation for the beat drop at the end of Tunnel Vision. Cry For Me is a masterpiece. I will be listening to so much from this a...

Tyler, The Creator - IGOR (2019)

  IGOR -  ★★★★ ★ Here comes my biggest review yet... PART 1: Context Discovering Tyler Before this, I had never listened to any album before this one. I know it sounds hard to believe, but I mostly only listened to singles. One of my favorite artists was always Tyler, The Creator, I discovered him when See You Again played on the radio, and I immediately fell in love. I found his style very unique because most of the rap that I had ever listened to before was stuff like Lil Pump.  Why I Tuned In When I saw IGOR come out, I thought "sure, why not?" since everyone was saying it was so good. I barely even knew how to listen to an album (I initially thought you were supposed to spread it out between various days, lol. I was genuinely surprised when I was able to finish it in one day), but I did it, and, until weeks ago, it was my favorite album of all time, and it's still in 2nd place for a reason. How It Led Music To Become My Hobby Before IGOR , I thought of mu...

🚨Rating system change!

Yup, I'm changing my rating system! I've only been on AOTY making reviews since early April, and I'm already changing my entire rating system... Well, my old rating system was just the AOTY rating system (rating/100). Once I started this blog here, I started applying colors ( 80-100 ,  60-80 ,  40-60 ,  20-40 ,  0-40 ) but not any change to the rating system, until now! I'm switching to a 5-star system. Here's a demonstration of how 70/100 on AOTY would look: OLD SYSTEM:  80/100 NEW  SYSTEM: ★★★★☆ I spent 50 years looking for those symbols, but it works... also, I can't have half-stars, so the old detailed ratings will have to be heavily simplified, but the reviews will be kept and still have all the detail they had before :) Here's a simple little translation from the old system to the new one: 100/100  =  ★★★★ ★ 80/100  =  ★★★★☆ 60/100  = ★★★ ☆ ☆ 40/100  =  ★★ ☆ ☆ ☆ 20/100  =  ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 0/100  =  ☆ ☆ ...

Frank Ocean - Blonde (2016)

Blonde -   ★★★★ ★ Previously here, I had written that I had deleted my previous review because I remembered nothing from Blond e . That was correct, I even remember writing that "I prefer [ Channel Orange ] over Blonde any day" on my Channel Orange review, which I then deleted, realizing that I simply didn't remember anything about Blonde. I was very wrong. Blonde might be my new favorite album of all time. It's easier to go through the issues than the good parts, so: - Too many interludes : There are no many interludes between Nights and White Ferrari, and I don't understand why. It seems unnecessary. - Futura Free outro : I don't think such a long interview snippet was necessary, honestly. That might just be because it's 1 AM and I have to go to bed soon because I have to do stuff tomorrow because I'm in a rush though. - Pretty Sweet : That song in general is good but compared to any other track in this album, in my opinion, it is just not very fi...

Quadeca didn't release "Vanisher, Horizon Scraper"

Quad didn't.          This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone with a brain, but sadly, Quadeca didn't release his upcoming album  Vanisher, Horizon Scraper  on the date that some random fan made up. Shocking, I know.      It was  supposed  to drop June 6th, and even I believed in this theory as shown in my naive blog post from a few days ago .  Now, I would never believe in these malicious idiots trying to scam us... but what if it drops June 13th?  Best wishes, @Eduxk, Jun 6, 2025    Oh, and I guess he also dropped a new snippet, or rather, I'm pretty sure I heard about it being from an Instagram Live so maybe it's not new, maybe I'm making shit up, but  here it is.  Very nice.
