This won't be a long review. Album was okay. Not my style but still pretty easy to listen to.

6/10

@AOTWClub

I like the diversity among the albums, each one of them was unique but i'm hoping to find one that finally resonates enough to earn a 8+ rating from me. None of them have quite hit that mark yet. But none of them were bad. Well except.. You know the one

Paris Texas - Mid Air
This was another new discovery for me thanks to this club. I’d heard about Paris Texas before because I’m a pretty big lana del rey fan, and for some reason I assumed that soundwise they’d be similar to JPEGMAFIA or BROCKHAMPTON (on a sidenote, I actually have gone to Paris, Texas before. Nothing too special aside from an eiffel tower with a cowboy hat on top)

I actually really dug this album. Definitely more rock influenced than i expected. I love almost every single instrumental and dear god, these guys are amazing at hooks. The verses were really good too with my favorites being on “Everybody Safe Until” and “Full English”. I’ll definitely check out their debut at some point and I can’t wait to see what they release next.
Favorites: tenTHIRTYseven, Sean-Jared, Nüwhip, Everybody Safe Until, Lift Off, Earth-2, Airborne, Full English
Rating: 9/10

Title: Paris Texas - MID AIR
Standouts: tenTHIRTYseven, DnD, Sean-Jared, Closed Caption, BULLET MAN, PANIC!!!, Lift Off, Ain't No high
Skips: Airborne, Earth-2
Score: 8/10
Final Thoughts:
"Mid Air" is a new and exciting follow-up from their previous release "BOY ANONYMOUS", which I enjoyed immensely at the time. This time around, the duo shows their versatility with high-quality production that combines powerful beats and reflective, melodic moments. Their energetic and engaging vocal style adds depth to the album, and the lyrics offer a raw and honest mix of personal thoughts and social commentary. Fans of genre-blending music and those looking for something outside the mainstream will find much to appreciate here. While it's certainly isn't perfect, it is however a significant addition to their discography and hints at even greater potential for the future.

Overall, it's a strong effort from Paris Texas that demonstrates their growth and willingness to take risks.

Three 6 Mafia- When the Smoke Clears: Sixty 6, Sixty 1

Favorite Tracks: 44 Killers, Sippin on some Syrup, I'm So HI, Tongue Ring, Who Run It

Least Favorite Tracks: Weak a--- b----(I hate the annoying sound in the background)

This album was a real throwback for me, I'd heard it many times, my friend group growing up became friends with a guy who'd moved to Canada from Texas. So he got us all Into the southern rap scene, so I'm very familiar with the three 6 Mafia and most of their albums.

I love Three 6 Mafia, but realized while listening to this, I love listening to the songs I like when they come on in my playlist. I don't necessarily like a whole album by them.

Juicy J is great, I love his solo work and I'm kind of tempted to pick his "stay trippy" album as my album.

Anyways quick summary, the production on their albums are always top notch, I just find them not really THAT interesting lyrically to keep my attention for a whole album.

I added a buncha songs off this to my big playlist, but can't say as a whole I love the entire album. My rating I feel is kinda low cause I do love a buncha songs on this but they're just not what I want to listen to for a whole album if that makes sense.

Score: 6.5/10

Alright so I randomized the current group and this is the order that people will pick an album for us all to listen too.

Gonna make it interesting and have everyone rate each album out of 10 and ill tally up an average score for each album.

If people don't like your album don't be offended, it's okay to defend the album but we won't need to turn the forum into a zebedee vs big monkey argument.

If and when Eminem drops we will take a break and come back to these at some point

I wanted to show some love some stuff i think had a chance of not being shown off in these playlists instead of the usual route i was originally going to go which was in the more pop punk and classic rock sounds. I figured it would be fun to do a mix between some soft synthier rock and pop of the time mixed with some more fun r&b and club cuts. I also took this as an opportunity to give love to the japanese city pop wave. I was too busy to work out some of the sequencing kinks i think there are, but i love these songs too much to take any off and I hope y'all enjoy nonetheless!

@AOTWClub

Hello folks, here’s my latest mixtape. It’s a mix of classic rock, prog, alt, traditional metal. I wanted to keep things a little more focused this round. Next time I’m switching gears to hip hop.

Everything here is pretty accessible, You might recognize a few bands right away, but for the most part I went with ones that aren’t overly mainstream. For a couple of them, I chose songs that I really like and aren’t what you would typically expect from them.

One band appears twice simply because I’ve been obsessed with their music lately. That said, the two songs are completely different from each other.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Tracklist:

1. Saxon - Princess Of The Night (1981)
2. Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (1971)
3. Queensrÿche - Empire (1990)
4. Type O Negative - Christian Woman (1993)
5. Corrosion of Conformity - Albatross (1994)
6. Bush - Everything Zen (1995)
7. Veruca Salt - Get Back (1994)
8. Motorhead - Louie Louie (1982)
9. Paradise Lost - True Belief (1993)
10. UFO - Doctor Doctor (1979)
11. Tiamat - Whatever that Hurts (1994)
12. Anthrax - Black Lodge (1993)
13. Paradise Lost - Say Just Words (1997)
14. Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying (1990)
15. Sonic Youth - Dirty Boots (1990)
16. Joy Division - New Dawn Fades (1979)

Playboi Carti - MUSIC

This is kinda disorganized, just writing down thoughts as they come to me:

Something I've always felt Carti was great at was knowing exactly how long a song needs to be — like it's kinda incredible how some of the 90 second songs on here feel so fully realized and integral to the album for how short they are (and on the opposite end of the spectrum, I'm always dumbfounded that m3tamorphisis off WLR is over five minutes long cuz it never feels like it).

I like how most of the features make multiple appearances on here, it make sit feel like they're characters popping in and out of Carti World (kinda like a less extreme version of how Ghostface is basically a co-star on OB4CL) instead of just a random verse being emailed in to slap onto a song. With Kendrick especially I looooooove that you can tell they had actual studio sessions together, they legit have great chemistry and I rly like when featured artists see/f--- with the vision of the album like that and meet the album artist where they're at.

But for that reason, I have to agree with @Allis Mines that unfortunately some of the worst songs on the album are the Thug/Uzi collabs. The Thug verse is apparently from 2019 and Jumpin is obviously from Pink Tape era. Carti only has like two adlibs on Twin Trim, which I do like as a song, but it's an obvious contender for a cut. They feel pasted in and unnecessary and generally clash the most with the album's sound.

Also like @Allis Mines, Whole Lotta Red is my favorite album ever on a good day, and certainly in my top 10 every day. It's really difficult to follow that up and I'm not putting this above WLR, but to me he delivered a more-than worthy successor. Pop Out shattered my brain completely the first time I heard it (in a good way), then Pop Out outro into Crush to K Pop to new EVILJORDAN intro is one of my fave first time listens in recent memory.

There's so many flows and voices on here, so much crunchy-a---, mind-melting production, you're just constantly hearing new sounds. Like that part on the weekend joint where he keeps changing his voice like "I'm drinking that lean and I TALK LIKE THIS" is so fire lmao. The only voice I'm a lil ehhhh on is the one where he sounds too similar to future, but considering how many different ways he raps it feels more like homage than just biting.

Overall MUSIC suffers maybe a little bit from TLOP-syndrome where it's big and messy but it's also somehow cohesive at the same time and maybe that's kinda the point? (and more like if TLOP leaned a little more into Yeezus, to continue the Kanye analogy). For that reason, I do think it would have benefited from a few songs shaved off of there cuz there's a few duds as I previously mentioned, but still a remarkable hit rate for a 30 song album (even if that length is kinda disingenuous on paper cuz it's like 75 min total due to a bunch of short songs lol). He also should have put f--- on my DJ on there, don't know how that didn't make the cut but that Thug song did lol.

Also calling your album just "MUSIC" is in incredible bit and I love a good bit, 10/10 title it's so f---ing stupid/funny to do that.

Despite a few rough edges Carti continues to be an auteur in rap and pushes the genre forward with groundbreaking new sounds shout out @Wreckless . It's obviously not a sound that will jive with everyone, but it's just such fun, energetic music with so many varied flows and voices and production that makes you go "what the f---" one second and then "this is hard as f---" the next as it clicks with you all of a sudden.

Favs: Pop Out, Crush, Olympian, Crank, Like Weezy, EVILJORDAN, Cocaine Nose, like all of them lol still gotta spend more time with the back half of the album especially

Least favorites: Jumpin, We Need All Da Vibes

8.5/10

Playboi Carti - MUSIC
(Yeez Yap is Back)
Well well well.... Jordan Carter finally dropped. I think it goes without saying that your opinions on this album are probably gonna reflect how you already feel about Carti beforehand. If you usually hate this type of music, this is going to the worst thing ever recorded for you. If you usually love this type of music, this might be a groundbreaking release for you. The gist of what I'm saying is that, its very unlikely that MUSIC is going to change whatever opinion you have about Carti (Unless you're @Michael Myers, in which case you need to accept that Carti is the best musician ever)

I've had a strange relationship with Carti's music. I think Self Titled is fine. Some classics on it no doubt, but its probably my least favorite of his projects. On the other hand, I think Die Lit is a great record, that takes the groundwork laid out in ST and improves it. The first 3 tracks alone are absolutely stellar. What I think truly makes Carti special though, is how he refused to stick to that sound. The leaks that came out post DL are definitely good, but I feel that continuing with that sound would've greatly limited him going forward. As such, its no surprise that I absolutely love Whole Lotta Red. For a mainstream rap album in 2020, its incredibly rough (s/o to F1LTHY), and the energy that Carti brings forth makes the experience incredible. I've been a WLR lover since day 1, and I continue to love that record to this day.

Now, we finally get to MUSIC. My first attempt at listening to this record went horrible. Let's just say that this album was not made to be listened to in a minuscule dorm room while your Chinese foreign exchange roommate is sleeping. I think that POP OUT is actually a great track. Its distorted, its loud, and its GREAT. I mentioned this in a post earlier, but I view this record in a similar way to an album like The Stooges' Funhouse (or Raw Power for that matter). At least in the current mainstream, you're never gonna hear a song like K POP or COCAINE NOSE from a non opium artist. Similar to Funhouse, the highlight of MUSIC for me is the ENERGY. The beats, Carti's multiple voices, (I swear he has to be possessed by the ghost of Desiigner or something), the overall feel. The inclusion of gun shots and SWAMP IZZO, give me heavy mixtape vibes. Like, this reminds me so much of Flockaveli at certain points.

With all this talk, you'd probably expect me to say that this album is an absolute 10, and Carti's masterpiece. That's... not the case. One of my weakest complains comes in the form of the features. I saw a post on the absolute madhouse that is r/playboicarti that summarizes my point very well I'd say.

Now, I'm not saying that having Travis Scott, Future, and The Weeknd on every album is necessarily a BAD thing. I honestly think that The Weeknd did a pretty good job. Travis and Future though? They do what you would expect Travis and Future to do. Skepta has by far my favorite feature on the entire project though. As someone who's been glazing Kendrick for the past few years, I was very mixed on his appearances. I liked him on MOJO JOJO and GOOD CREDIT, but I feel that his part on BACKDOOR was unnecessary. Uzi was eh. In contrast to Carti, I feel like Uzi's attempts to change his sound have been decent at best. I liked parts of PT but after EA2 I'd say he's washed.

Then there's my biggest issue with this record...it's really f---ing long. For the record, I LOVE long albums. Aphex Twin's 3 hour long SAWII is in my top 5, and I have Donda as one of my favorite Ye albums. I see a lot of similarities between MUSIC and Donda actually, like the strange rollout, features, aesthetics (lets just hope Carti doesn't start praising Hitler 12 years from now lmao) I think if this album was cut down to 24 songs (get it) like WLR, it could definitely challenge that record for Carti's best, at least for me. But 30 songs....Man. Someone mentioned this before, but the album really loses it steam by the 50 minute mark. Lots of these tracks are just unnecessary. Also, can he please stop using AI in order to not record his vocals? its f---ing lazy.

So yeah, Playboi Carti's MUSIC is an energetic experimental record that is heavily bogged down by having 6-8 too many songs. I'd love to see what songs other people in the club would cut. The Thug and Ty track would be one of the first for me. I might revisit this album more in the future while at the gym, since thats where I think this type of record excels at. I guess we just gotta wait for BABYBOI now lmao.
FAVORITES: POP OUT, MOJO JOJO, TOXIC, HBA
RATING: 7.5/10

Here’s my mixtape guys! Tried to give it some variety genre-wise but the final product is pretty much a show of what I’ve been listening to lately and is thus mostly (indie) rock based. I Went for a darker atmosphere this time around, I hope everyone finds something for themselves to enjoy with this mix. Will write more about my ideas behind the tape later.

Hope y’all have fun with what I’ve put together! Excited to read everyone’s reviews.
