cloakerpd2's Music Side Blog @queuer-cd2 - Tumblr Blog

Hello! This is my side blog for thoughts about music.

I'll probably post analysis of tracks/albums, reviews if I feel like it, stuff I've been listening to, updates to my CD collection, really anything related to music.

tags: #what i'm listening to - Short posts of songs that I've had on repeat with a Spotify embed (or audio attachment if it doesn't get blocked)

#cd additions - Additions to my CD collection, along with a short review and rating

#reviews - Full-length reviews of specific projects, usually for newer music (last year or two)

#track analysis or #album analysis - Textual analyses and theories about specific tracks or albums

#recommended to me - Answering asks. That's about it.

Send me an ask if you have a recommendation or want my thoughts on some music. I'll listen to nearly anything, but I have a preference for Hip-Hop, (Neo)Soul, jazz, R&B, indie rock, singer-songwriter, and folk.

Got 3 CDs today!

IGOR by Tyler, The Creator: A quintessential neo-soul album that helped to redefine the genre and adapt it to contemporary tastes. One of the greatest records of all time from one of the greatest artists of this generation. Everything, from the intelligent musicality to the heart-wrenching story to the hard-hitting lyrics is near-perfect. This is a project that will continue to be significant and relevant for many years to come. 10/10.

Transformer by Lou Reed: Reed's second solo project containing some of his best work. One of the greatest glam rock records of all time, produced during the movement's peak. It's Lou Reed at his most playful---this album has its emotional moments, but for the most part is fun and highly enjoyable. On top of this, it's one of the most progressive projects from its era relating to gender, sexuality, and queerness. 9/10.

Love Deluxe by Sade: I'll be honest, I've never really listened to Sade that much. I picked this up based purely off of word of mouth. From my first listen, she's one of the most beautiful, ethereal, enchanting vocalists I've ever heard. I think I'll need a few more listens to fully appreciate it.
