This one is tough

@daquan98 you have to pick something else, Lemonade was already submitted

Think i got a good one

I hope everyone doesnt just pick Lemonade and Endless

I saw the visuals for that one before

edit: lmao hope so too, there's gotta be more visual albums out there

Damn gotta go with the one other visual album i know That isnt lemonade or endless

Just so you know, an album like GKMC or The Wall would count as a cinematic concept.

So if you can't find a strictly visual album that would also do the trick

@Soupvillain

"Visual Albums / Cinematic concepts"

Can you explain what you mean by this?

Music that has a certain cinematic quality. Much, like Pink Floyd’s The Wall or Kendrick Lamar’s GKMC, following a clear, linear narrative or deliberate concept.

or

an album accompanied by a series of videos or a single film

This was really solemn and her voice is beautiful. I immediately thought of the film lost in translation, would love to have the film on while this is playing. My only slight issue was a few of the melodies did start to sound samey but nothing that would prevent me turning it off. Thanks for this will def be adding a few songs to my Jazz library.

7/10

HERE MY DEAR BY MARVIN GAYE

I keep getting these influential classics every round 😂. I could hear 90s R Kelly, Moses, Flying Lotus etc... Definitely very impactful across many genres.
What I love about this record is that it’s very strong thematically, very rhythmic and jazzy. It also felt very nostalgic because growing up, my mom used to play these throwback albums. And Marvin Gaye was being big in my house.
The album is lowkey relaxing despite the unfortunate subject matter and the heavy instrumentation. But that was the downfall for me because I was actively listening to the album over and over again trying to catch every detail. I love songs with sax riffs but it was a little too excessive here. I also appreciate a nice jam session but here they went on for a little too long. I know the idea is to get lost in the songs but it didn't work for me. Finally, I dont think I will be playing this album in full again but definitely some songs here and there. That’s probably because none of my favorite Marvin Gaye songs are in this.
6.5/10

Notes on a Conditional Form 2/10

they're the worst band alive. they failed at every genre experiment they attempted. so many diet Burial/Jamie xx/Bon Iver/whatever the f*** and it all sounds bad. Matty Healy is our generation's Morrissey without the talent.

Future Nostalgia 7/10

i was anticipating this but didn't think it would live to the singles or anything so i was decently surprised by how much i liked it. I think the Nu-Disco influences are blended in a really nice way and Dua really commands this whole album through and through. It's really nice to see efforts by the people in the forefront of Pop.

Starz 7/10

Prob my fav Lean record. Consistent good prod for whitearmor and performance by Lean. Not a whole lot to say. Free Carti's verse tho

• Alfredo by Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist: I like Bandana a little more and this was a snooze 4/10
• Chromatica by Lady Gaga: fun dance Pop tracks but awful lyrics and not ambitious at all 4/10
• Belonging by Ian Chang (electronic) The opening song, Lion Dance, is so good. And the rest of the album is just as strong. I even liked the songs with vocals 8/10

@soccerfanj

not necessarily a fan of this one. qj’s production honestly doesn’t really match with her tbh, despite it being pretty good. concept could’ve been good but it’s ran to the ground in the first half.

it’s my party was the only track which i thought was really good, nealy every other track was just alright and living in its shadow. her latter albums seem to be more highly rated so i’ll see about them.

6/10

highlights: it’s my party

lowlights: 2nd half besides the outro

Does it literally have to be a visual album or nah

The Great Adventures of Slick Rick. 9/10

intersting i got couple in mine but i have feeling they probs get taken

Snoh Aalegra - Ugh those feels again

Im a big fan of Snoh and this album gets a lot of spins from me. This is one of my favorite albums from 2019. She grew a lot on it and she reminds me of Sade a bit. This album didn't really feel like a breakup album when I factor in her tone and beats but I can see how one could use it to recover. Her songwriting is really good and her voice is really soothing. You can tell as she gets better her material will be timeless. She's one of those rare talents due to her voice and her aura. The album really doesn't decline in quality and can be used for a lot of purposes imo. Definitely a tape I'd put on around a female. Also like how she continued Charleville. My only gripe with this is I wish she used a rap feature on this. Someone like ross cole or drake woulda been dope. Her rap features on her last album were trash tho.

Favorite songs: Love Like That, Situationship, Whoa, I Want you around.

8.5/10

I have a pick I like but idk if it’s a reach or not

not literally it can have a concept that feels cinematic achieved through skits, voice-overs or something along those lines

HEAT!
