Not even going to try to write out a review, this one deserves to be experienced in a setting where you can give it the full attention it deserves

To have your whole career be propped up by having a certain pop image, covered in glitz and glam. Choreographed performances on stage and to strip it all away to reflect this next chapter in his life.

I think that’s what stands out is this maturity into marriage, life, fatherhood and the way he was able to do it through great songwriting and not being cheesy. It’s also such an intentionally great album about California as most of these songs sound like they were written under palm trees during the golden hour and of course the geographic refrences.

I think the album could have done without a few songs to flow better but overall my favorite album from Bieber.

Lonerism is a timeless album, heavily inspired by 60s psychedelic rock music but rather than being a cheap imitation, pushing that sound to new heights.

Fuzzy guitars distorted and clipped with overblown drums that are technically impressive as well as sonically enjoyable. All of that chaos mixed in with Kevin’s heavily reverb falsetto vocals creates the perfect juxtaposition.

The production is impressive as each song is carefully crafted from the intro to the outro, sounding cohesive throughout but constantly evolving. The songwriting is impressive as well, capturing the feelings of isolation but in a beautiful way. Almost as if the idea that being lonely doesn’t necessarily have to be something so dark and depressing but comforting.

That really stands out to me while listening to the album, it’s hard to pick a favorite, the track run from Be Above It to Feels Like We Only Go Backwards is as good as any. It’s perfect to me, the guitar solos transcend you with the energy that the song is trying to take you to.

Afterwards, the sound of Tame Impala shifted to a more pop and modern but this is a special album that should be remembered for its innovation with the sound textures, the song writing, and overall quality. There’s a reason why it’s a classic.

An album that will make you do a double take on the year it was released. The drums on this record inspired so much of the music that came after it. The haunting vocals, experimental melodies and heavy drums makes this a timeless record. The album length is perfect as well, making it one of those albums you can listen all the way through.

Mysterons is an eerie masterpiece and the snare rolls are perfection. My favorite track off this album.

One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Two different styles merging together like the yin and yang to morph into what would become the golden standard for artist that would follow years later.

Big Boi bobs and weaves between flows so effortlessly and pieces together words and metaphors in the most clever way possible. Andre’s introspection and off kilter flows is refreshing and offers something completely different from what you hear from Big Boi.

The way they experiment between flows and their voices while keeping up with incredible production is what makes this stand out. Bass heavy hip hop at its core mixed with funky moments that defined the sound for an entire region. Truly one of, if not the greatest hip hop group of all time. This is a must listen and essential album, truly timeless.

The highlight of the album for me is Chonkyfire, in the midst of the praise that west coast and east coast music were receiving during the time of this release, the south was written off and not taken seriously. All the angst and ambition poured into the outro of the album, with production that matched those emotions. The south really had something to say.

5 years of CLB. I think this has some of Drake’s writing, specifically on songs like: Champagne Poetry, Love All, Fair Trade, Pipe Down and Race My Mind.

The highs of this album is insane, some of Drake’s best work especially on Pipe Down, Race my Mind and Fair Trade. This album is more of a 3.75 out of 5 for me, I dislike the three songs after the intro but after that the album flows extremely well and shows exactly why Drake has been the number 1 guy in the genre.

One of those albums that makes you feel happy to be alive. So ahead of its time and you can tell this is still the blueprint for a lot of the bands today. God Only Knows is one of the greatest songs ever written.

The harmonies, the production, the songwriting.. its timeless
