There's definitely some interesting concepts on the project, but as whole it didn't really deliver something very compelling - still leaving Denzel Curry on the outside looking in.

Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from twenty one pilots, Drake, Arctic Monkeys, The Internet, A$AP Rocky, DJ Khaled, Fall Out Boy, YG, and more.
Dawes' album is surprisingly political (at least cultural) as they speak of our great cultural divide, and in lesser terms romantic divides, and tries to find understanding and common ground on which we can come together on. It's admirable, it's just not all that exciting.
I don't think 'Forever' will quite be that mainstream success Popcaan is hoping for but it does establish him as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, names in the genre at the moment.
Panic! At the Disco's latest is all radio-friendly pop that's good for a listen or two but won't keep me coming back for more or get me excited for anything new from them in the future.
Check out some of this past weeks most talked about and interesting film trailers like Aquaman, Shazam!, Glass, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Disenchantment, and more.
The Internet are a truly special group that's able to balance their warm nostalgia while still remaining refreshingly modern. 'Hive Mind' is a phenomenal project full of hypnotic grooves and hip-swaying rhythms.
'Expectations' is a great listen from front to back with some irresistible melodies, and it has all the makings to launch Bebe Rexha into becoming a full-blown pop star.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from twenty one pilots, Wiz Khalifa, Desiigner, Ariana Grande, Alessia Cara, Black Eyed Peas, Mac Miller, and more.
It's far from his best tape but it's still high quality mindless music that you can vibe and turn up too. If you're not expecting anything different from Future, then BEASTMODE 2 is right up your alley.
The fact that Father John Misty can carry such a musically stripped down album with not much more than his vocals and some superb songwriting should say it all. It's a stand out.
There are some folksy moments on the album but for the most part it all has a heavy funk flavor to it and paired with their smooth synths and soft melodies, it makes for some the Gorillaz's most unassuming and non-threatening music yet.
'Karma 2' doesn't do much in terms of pushing Dave East's craft forward but it is a very solid project that delivers on that signature gritty NY sound that his core fans expect from him.
Dirty Projectors' latest is a bright, airy listen that may go overboard with some of its sappy love proclamations but still remains an infectious and wildly imaginative listen nonetheless.
'Joy' is not a 'clean' project that's easy to listen to or follow along with, but, it is a hell of an (albeit chaotic) experience that delivers some great psychedelic rock.
Following up our in depth 'Top 20 Albums of the Year...So Far' podcast, here is the official full list in all it's glory without all the other BS (but you should really get into all the other BS, it's good BS).
'4275' is a nice trip down memory lane while Jacquees still brings enough new swagger to the table to make it not feel like a tribute album.
Check out some of the past weeks' most talked about and interesting music videos from twenty one pilots, Wiz Khalifa, Bebe Rexha, MUSE, 6LACK, G-Eazy, Tory Lanez, Brockhampton, and more.
Like all of Wiz Khalifa's recent projects, 'Rolling Papers 2' has it's fair share of noteworthy moments, but that gap between the really good and the really bad is still wide as ever.
We're back and we're finally doing it! We're finally getting around to listing our top 20 albums of the year...so far. First we list our individual lists then try to come to a consensus top 20; it's a great mix of big name, established acts and a whole lot of left field wild cards, so check it out and let us know what would've made your list.
It's volatile, angry, aggressive, and unrelentingly experimental - basically everything we've come to expect from a Death Grips project.
Meek Mill's shown a ton of growth both personally and as an artist; no longer is everything just about rollies, cars, and women, but he touches on some real issues and does it exceptionally well.
Florence + The Machine try to strip things back for a more intimate listening experience. So there are more ballads and the production tries to be more subtle, but there's really only so much you can do to hold down a voice as powerful as Welch's.
June had a ton of great new albums and music videos from the likes of Drake, Florence + The Machine, XXXTENTACION, and Beyoncé & Jay-Z; and it also featured some interesting trailers for A Star Is Born, Creed II, and Widows. We've highlighted some of the best drops over the month and now we're ready to crown the best album, movie trailer, and music video.
