FINAL RATING: 40/100

REVIEW: With this album, Taylor Swift has now officially cemented herself as the world’s oldest teenager. This is such a fall from grace for one of, if not the biggest pop star in the world right now. Her songwriting and lyricism have gone down an exponential amount and on this album, you’re witnessing it in real time. The album starts with a solid opener in “The Fate of Ophelia”, but from there, the album just takes a major dip in quality and never recovers. On “Eldest Daughter”, she spends her time talking about some “internet trolls” instead of something actually meaningful, and to add on to the song, the ear grating chorus and vocals makes it almost unbearable. She also wrote what is essentially a diss track on Charli xcx with “Actually Romantic” widely considered to be a response to Charli xcx’s 2024 song “Sympathy is a knife”. Her punches however, don’t land, and it feels like she’s desperately trying to get under Charli’s skin and failing miserably. This album genuinely feels like it was created in a lab by a bunch of scientists who were trying to see if they could make the most bland and boring pop record, and it seems the experiment was a smashing success.

Something is definitely broken and Taylor Swift desperately needs to fix it. You can only release the same boring plain yogurt album so many times before people get sick and tired of it.

Also, 26 special releases. For one album. Absolutely ridiculous.

REVIEW: Kevin Parker branches out and decides to try a new style, blending his signature psych-rock style with brand new elements of house, psych-house, and dance music, and I gotta say it hits the mark!

Leading up to this album, it had been 5 years since Tame Impala had released a new album, with The Slow Rush coming out February 14th, 2020, so of course when he announced his new album “Deadbeat” on September 4th, 2025, I was fore sure excited, but also skeptical that I wasn’t going to be the biggest fan of it. Also, if you’re a Tame Impala fan and were expecting a Lonerism 2 or a Currents 2, you’re not gonna get that with this album, be prepared for an entirely different listening experience that’s so different 

Now I have to say that even though I’m the biggest Tame Impala fan I know, I decided to give this album an unbiased listen regardless and I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this new sound as much as I did. I had fully gone in expecting the worst but I was pleasantly surprised by just how much quality there was on this album

But the positives outweigh the negatives on this one, “My Old Ways” is an incredibly strong opening, setting the tone for all the unique sounds you’re going to hear when you listen. “Dracula” is an incredible psych-pop like performance that fits right into the Halloween season that’s irresistibly catchy, like it was specifically programmed to get stuck in your head. “Obsolete” has to be my favorite track with great vocals, outstanding instrumental, and a guitar that is just so addicting to listen to, seriously it will put you in a musical trance it’s incredibly melodic.

Even though it’s so different from any previous Tame Impala album, I’m in love with the new sound and had a lot of fun listening to it, and I believe you will too!

| 9 | we never dated | (75/100) |
| 10 | under the mat | (60/100) |

FINAL REVIEW: 57/100

REVIEW: Literally my first question going into this album was, “Who even is Sombr?”, and I gotta say, after listening to this album through, nothing really stood out to make me a fan, I did like some elements of the album but it just felt like I was listening to someone I’ve already heard before. 

Sombr’s virality mainly stems from his songs blowing up on TikTok, with his indie single “Caroline” blowing up in 2022, leading him to signing with Warner Records. In 2025, songs off this very album blew up on TikTok, with “back to friends” and “undressed” going viral on the platform as well. He is also widely considered to be an “industry plant”, which has many conflicting definitions, but what it essentially boils down to is that an industry plant is an artist who is believed to have secretly been backed by a large record label to gain their fame, rather than gaining it through organic measures.

To be blunt, I did not like this. There were some bits of this album that were enjoyable to listen to, but everything else is just reverb soup with choppy, staticky vocals that are not at all fun to listen to. It truly lacks the qualities that would be needed for him to stand out from the rest of the people making his same style of music. It just sounds like recycled indie pop that you’d hear from someone like Clairo.

FINAL REVIEW: 97/100

REVIEW: Greatest dance record of all time, not a singular bad song on this album, every song is as catchy as the last. 

Former French electronic duo Daft Punk’s sophomore album is not only their best, but one of the greatest and most important albums of all time. This album is so important because it bridged electronic music together with pop music, allowing such a distinct style like Daft Punk’s French house and heavy sampled electronic dance music to be implemented into a more accessible genre like pop music.

This album departed from their “raw” house style off their 1997 debut album “Homework”, and embraced an extensively produced sound, often credited for sampling old disco tracks from the 1970s and 1980s, transforming those nostalgic sounds from that era into futuristic sounding they definitely put the “disco” in Discovery that’s for sure. This album also is a big cornerstone for the use of autotune in music, with autotune allowing them to achieve their signature robot voices on songs like “One More Time” and “Digital Love”, further adding to the robot personas that Daft Punk is so famously known for.

Every single song hits on this album, there are no skips in the hour that this album goes on, but the best song in my opinion has to be “Veridis Quo”, a melancholic track that starts off somber but slowly builds a hypnotic groove that incredibly irresistible.

So, in short, literally the greatest dance record ever made, nothing anyone will make in the near future will ever top this, this album is THAT good.
