Sean Sharp's Diary

Listen 1: Yeah, looking forward to the album. Based off this alone, you can tell there is more evolution to take place for JID. No stagnation. The end of Behold is something else. Listen 2: So fun and crazy. Can't wait for the full project. Not wanting to comment too much on this since it is just t…

Listen 1: Feels old and new all at the time time. Features are excellent. Unique flows and beats and choruses. Original front to back. The bars make you cover your mouth. Listen 2: Fun. Some of these songs do sound slightly alike with the horns but still fun, front to back. That said, there has alw…

After so many years, I think I wanted a little more overall, but it still delivers in doses. There is a wide range of styles and genres here, but the aggressive, electronic-heavy production serves as the anchor point that the album keeps returning to. While I love some of this style, I personally li…

Listen 1: There's like two skits in here where, I'm assuming, Joyner had people talk shit about how he's making another album about ADHD and how he needs to grow up and get over it. I think he's misinterpreting people's hate or criticism of it. It's not that he should grow up, but his style has not…

Disc 1 Only Listen 1: Alex's music feels like it made in a lab with how perfectly crafted it is for the radio. Some of these songs feel aimed for late teenagers, who need their music too, but some of this is very good. Eternity starts it off with the best track and then there are some few other dec…

Listen 1: Very bouncy. The middle of the album is chaotic, it tends to blur together but the start and last few tracks are extremely memorable. Maybe I'm making this connection since I just wrote my final review for JACKBOYS 2, but this album feels like Tyler's spin on that heavily electronic rap th…

Listen 1: The kind of music that kills in a dirty industrial club. Fun listen but I think Jigitz has some evolving to do overall. Songs a bit generic as far as the structure goes and repetitive as well. He has great ideas with some killer sound design and this is all needed in a new artists creation…

Initial: Nothing revolutionary. Doesn't matter though, they have a style and they stick to their guns and they're damn good at it. Teetering into 80's pop rock, it's just a lot of fun to put it plainly. Dudes voice is nothing special but it just reminds me of a better time (even though I am not nost…

Glad that they are still evolving as a whole. It really seemed like during the Pandemic that they were gonna turn into a suburban band that didn't have any interesting new changes to their sound. Their fan based showed that with the hate towards Scaled and Icy. Personally, I do like that album a lot…

Love love love the idea, pretty good on the execution. Despite being only 49 minutes, this feels like it runs 20 minutes too long. The precision and dedication to making these '80s beats and instrumentals so crisp deserve props. Tons of different moments on here are distinctly '80s but lodged in mod…

It's good. Suffers quite heavily from being like half released by the time the full album came out, but still, the entirety of it is good, especially if it's all new to you. Home is a classic, and several other songs have catchy feel-good melodies and ideas that I can appreciate on any given day. It…

Prime example of a project that goes all in on the pizzazz of art and not going for much of a mainstream sound. Using tons of electronic elements and experimenting with transitions and unique vocal inflections, REAPER has been cooking in the cave since "heady". With albums like this, I love it as a…

Yeah, he definitely landed on his feet here. This renaissance of music with physical instruments has been interesting here in the 2020's as synthesizers and samples have become more balanced with other instruments. Ruel falls right into this "correction" in pop music and his does it pretty well. A l…

It'll be hard for BENEE to ever live up to FIRE ON MARZZ for me, but she has found her footing over 6 years later. BENEE's style has seemed to slowly shift closer to a more traditional pop sound. Or the opposite has happened, and pop music has inched closer to her. One or the other. Either way, this…
