Weekly Album Review Thread 9/14-9/20 I'm surprised by how consistent I've managed to be with this. I think I have about 2 more weeks until I finish clearing my backlog. As usual, a few highlights - Tyler and Mao Denada's albums are considered classics amongst j-rnb fans but I found myself disappointed by the vocal direction and a few stylistic choices. The best way I can put it and this is not shade is that the girls are drawing inspo from brandy when they should be drawing inspo from janet. The production is great though and hard carried both albums into the middle tier - I have become a KICK THE CAN CREW superfan. I highly enjoy the combination of 2 MCS + 1 DJ. I feel like its such a great balance when it comes to hip hop and I wish it would become a mainstream thing again because a lot of rappers could benefit from a highly skilled dj on the roster. - DJ Tonk and DJ Muro's albums are the definition of contrast. I absolutely loved DJ Tonk's album and DJ Muro's made me mad because frankly he's not as good a rapper as he is a dj and he's on about every single track ruining my vibes. - Satomi's album should NOT have been 21 tracks. There's a big debate amongst music fans whether more tracks on an album is good or bad and I am firmly against it. I find that many artists do not have the range to pull off such a long track list. The only time I want to see 15+ tracks is on a BEST OF. I think the album would have highly benefitted from trimming some of the filler. I probably have a few more thoughts but that's it for now. I'll be back again next week~
