Albums I Never Got To: QUICK REVIEW

Sorry I Missed These
Faith No More-Sol Invictus 6.0/10
Certainly not terrible, but also not really anything too exciting. Pretty disappointing after it being their comeback record. I feel like if you are going to make a comeback, it has to rival your previous work, and this album simply doesn't.
Hiatus Kaiyote-Choose Your Weapon 8.2/10
extremely soulful and colorful album. Really sad I didn't get to properly review this album, and I feel like it blends electronic, jazz, and r&b influences extremely well. The songs are pretty interesting but surprisingly direct, and how could you not love that voice?
Drake-If You're Reading This, It's Too Late 7.7/10
Undeniably powerful for Drake. Really have never been a fan at all, but this thing is chalked full of accessible and energetic rap songs that do not lack in the lyrical department either. It's not amazing or anything, especially compared to K.Dot's album, but it deserves a nice little shout out from me. Good job Drake.
Waxahatchee-Ivy Tripp 8.7/10
A simple, yet very emotional record that wins you over with its charm and heart. Kate Crutchfield pours her soul all over this thing and honestly although its simple, it's secretly one of my favorite indie records of the year.
Thee Oh Sees-Mutilator Defeated At Last 7.8/10
Another really solid art-rock/punk album from Thee Oh Sees. This album is another pretty simplistic album, but it thrives off it's catchy choruses and it's hard hitting tunes. Another good effort from a consistent band.
Natalie Prass-Natalie Prass 8.3/10
a very nice, sprawling debut record for singer and songwriter Natalie Prass. This album is lovely on the ears, and it showcases the beautiful voice Natalie has. This album has some pretty tasteful old-school instrumentals that include strings, harps, etc. This album is a little sleepy though, so if you are tired do not listen to this.
