All DirectionsThe Temptations3.5 out of 5 stars ·
Papa Was a Rollin' Stone eats half the record and earns every minute of it. that bassline, those strings creeping in late. Whitfield at his peak.
WildheartMiguel4.0 out of 5 stars ·
the horny art-rock R&B record nobody talks about enough. coffee swings between Prince and shoegaze and somehow sticks the landing.
The Velvet RopeJanet Jackson4.0 out of 5 stars ·
her most personal and most slept-on. the production's dense, the vocals bruised. Got 'til It's Gone still sounds like the future.
The Money StoreDeath Grips4.5 out of 5 stars ·
sounds like a panic attack and that's the highest praise i've got. nothing about it aged, still feels years ahead.
VoodooD'Angelo5.0 out of 5 stars ·
the drums drag behind the beat on purpose the entire time and it makes everything feel warm and half-asleep. nobody's matched this feel since.
MM..FOODMF DOOM5.0 out of 5 stars ·
doom rhyming about food the whole record and somehow it goes deep. the loops are off-kilter in the best way, Rapp Snitch Knishes is undeniable.
VeteranJPEGMAFIA4.5 out of 5 stars ·
peggy throwing every idea at the wall and most of them stick. abrasive but actually funny, which people sleep on.
Can't Get EnoughBarry White4.0 out of 5 stars ·
lush in a way that should be too much and never is. the obvious single is the obvious single, but the whole thing is a warm bath.
