Things Fall Apart - The Roots
1999
Act Won (Things Fall Apart) is a selection of samples, the final of which reflects on the treatment of Hip-Hop as being artistically inferior. I disagree with the sentiment that Hip-Hop was not "maximized" as a product (1/??)

Comedown Machine - The Strokes
2013
Tap Out opens with a more rock sound than the Strokes previous album, the very synth-heavy Angles, though it keeps many of the same production hallmarks. The very particular loose, high vocal delivery on this album is apparent from here (1/14)

Is This It - The Strokes
2001
The title track introduces the lo-fi, distorted sound of this album. Julian Casablancas' voice glides over the very light and airy production, and it makes for a great track. The Modern Age is far from my favorite on the album. The mixing (1/9)

Phony Rappers features a weirdly dissonant digital piano. This in and of itself actually works surprisingly well, but I cannot forgive the awful second verse. It builds the slightest bit of flow and immediately ruins it (1/13)
