Album Review: Weezer (White Album) by Weezer


"Josh, didn't you say the Best of 1989 was coming up?" It is, yadda yadaa, I don't feel like making a list right now, sorry. Anyway, Weezer. I love these guys. The Blue Album is one of my favorite albums of all time. The majority of the stuff I've heard from them is good. Though I was disappointed with Hurley from 2010, outside of a couple great songs. I haven't heard Everything Will Be Alright In The End though. Maybe someday. For now, their fourth self-titled album. Not to be confused with a certain Beatles album. Is it good? Lemme see.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights April 9th, 2016


Lukas Graham just missed the top spot. Phooey. Also Meghan Meghans is in the Top 10 again. Double phooey. Alright, but the rest of the charts are fine, right? Well, we'll see. There's only three new songs after all. HIGHLIGHTS TIME!

Album Review: Mind of Mine by Zayn


I have not been looking forward to this. Not that I think this'll be particularly bad, but I've honestly been unimpressed with Zayn's solo career so far. Even Pillowtalk has worn out its welcome, and I haven't even heard it that much. I honestly feel like he was better off in One Direction at this point; at least they started making some legitimately good stuff in 2013. But I digress. Let's see if the first solo album to stem from the biggest boy band of the decade does good things.

Also, I will not be listening to the deluxe edition tracks. If Zayn or his handlers or whoever thought they were important to the full product, they would have made it part of the main course. So my review ends at Track 14. If you really, really think I should review the last four tracks, let me know, maybe I'll do a follow-up on just them.

Album Review: I Came Up With A Clever Name For This Mixtape, But I Forgot It by Keenan Edwards


So this is different for me, isn't it? I don't ordinarily cover mixtapes for one, and I usually stick to artists in the mainstream. Instead, this time, I'm covering a mixtape from a friend of mine, who also happens to use the internet to talk about his music opinions. I will be covering Zayn's solo debut album at a later date, but first I wanna do something I'm likely to enjoy more. And Keenan, if you're reading this, don't worry I'll be nice. Le's go.

Also you can listen to it here if ya want.

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights April 2nd, 2016


Rihanna might have the top spot again this week, but I'm hearing speculation that Lukas Graham will overtake her pretty soon. And I'm okay with that, I love 7 Years. So bring on a new Number 1! Oh, and we also have a debut. Can Ariana Grande recover after Focus underwhelmed and underperformed? Guess we'll find out soon. HIGHLIGHTS TIME!

Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 26th, 2016



Well, Mike Posner got his second Top 10 hit. And it only took him six years since the last one. At least it's pretty great. Unfortunately, a new Meghan Trainor single may hit the Top 10 soon, so we have that to look forward to. But we'll worry about that later down the line. For now, highlights time.

Album Review: untitled unmastered. by Kendrick Lamar


While the rest of the world was obsessed with this album, I was obsessed with Ninja Sex Party's cover album. What kind of music critic am I, right? Pfft. But really, I love Kendrick. He's everything Kanye West claims to be and more. And that's going off mostly To Pimp A Butterfly. Maybe one day I'll listen through good kid, m.A.A.d city. But for now, I'm listening to this. Basically an outtakes reel from TPAB that wound up being just as popular and critically acclaimed. Going into this, I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm set up for something great. Hopefully I'm not disappointed again.
