I’m so glad I could have Camellia as my top artist for the 3rd year in a row!

I always had him in my playlists everywhere. Strange he didn’t make my top 5 songs though. :p

"Dangerous Women" really polishes up what she did with her previous music. Her vocals are so good during this era; sometimes I just wish we kept this era of Ari.

And for the most recent thing I reviewed.

I will give a TW before listening, cause this album is a very heavy listen.

"This album left me in pure shock. I've got almost no other words for it."

I would've never covered this trash EP if it weren't for Brad Taste in Music.

"This entire album just had me cringing and raising my eyebrows at the mixing and production choices. It was an incredibly draining listen, with the majority of the album being forgettable as fuck."

While I reviewed Tension II before this one, I still think this one is better than that.

Hits like "Padam Padam" & "Vegas High" really save this album from falling into being too safe and mediocre.

I had high hopes for this PhaseOne album, but it fell right into a mixed bad. The metalcore and brostep does work well with the right person, and I just think PhaseOne needs to work a bit more to have it work perfectly.

There's a lot I like about this album from t+pazolite. t+pazolite just hits that speedcore/hardcore mix better.

While Selena has a few hits on "Stars Dance" there are times where it's utterly so bad that I want to turn it off.

"Slow Down" and "Come & Get It" utterly save this album from being below a 50.

Now, Kendrick dropping an album was not on my 2024 bingo card, it was on my 2025 list though.

As much as I'm not from the West Coast, the West Coast needed an album like this.

I won't lie, it's a good time. I'd personally place this between Section.80 and Mr. Morale.

Happy 15 years to this absolute work of art by the Queen Gaga herself. 💜

i give it a 86/100

I'd say listen to it if you're weird like me and like the sound of brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr or if you're a rhythm gamer
