These are some really good picks hope u all have fun!

classic album!

@Biginthegame thanks, never heard of that before,

My bad if you've already heard my pick, i know its pretty popular but its the first 10 track album that i thought of since its in my top 5 of this year

Jeffery

strong 8 let down but the middle section

@SOLARIS you shouldn't have picked this, too many memories attached to my ex

Nah i havent heard ur pick either. Looks good Going in blind.

The album title in english is “no more crying” hopefully its sunny where u at. U boutta hear some beach vibes. hope u enjoy

Bruh... you telling me?! Same s*** I was going through too lmao.

Imma finally give covert coup a proper listen now thanks to you, I’ve always liked the album but I skipped around it too much

@Durkio_World damn thats a solid ass pick, only heard once like four years ago so imma so it again

So i just got through listening

in all honesty this is the first non-english language album i've heard in full

i really liked it. i just let the whole thing play without checking when the tracks changed and i could still tell every song had a distinct sound whilst still fitting into the vibe of the overall album

defo opened my eyes to 'foreign' albums, and i will be checking for more from now on

6.5/10

favorite songs: A Menina Danca, Trindo Trincando

@RVI good pick

Never heard of Richard & Linda Thompson before so should be a good experience

just a miniview @cashchie

PND1 is still an incredible gem in the entire alt-r&b scene. jahron’s hazy vocals and delivery, alongside the neo-psychlike production really make the whole project shine. crazy to think that jahron produced this entire tape by himself (apart from 40 co-producing the drake feat ofc)

main problem for me is that jahron can be really jaring and boring at times, especially near the end. it seemed to be a major problem with most of the OVO crew, besides drake, their beats and vocals are sleep inducing, and focus is next to none. jahron seems to do it the best, but not by much.

it’s still a great project relistening to it, but it’s flaws are really starting to show the more i replay it. party’s music is simply nightride car music, and i’m not gonna be harsher on it because of that.

8/10

highlights: welcome to the party, relax with me, break from toronto

lowlights: over here (i never really liked any drake involved tracks during this era, live for is another example)

i’m already exited for the next topic lmao

as soon as OP picks heartbreak for the theme, i got the perfect pick

Marvin Gaye - Let’s Get It On

Surprisingly I never listened this album before, even though I’m familiar with Here My Dear, Whats Going On, and I Want You. But Jesus Christ this album is phenomenal. I would go as far to say this is better than What’s Going On. The pure soul and sensuality that radiates from this record is amazing

10/10

I almost submitted Lost In A Dream

aayyyyyyy glad that was the album that got u curious into albums from other countries. crazy cause if u like that, then brazil got a whoollee lotta amazing music from the 60s and 70s.

just listened to the archer. s*** is already in my top 10-15 of the year so far. wasnt even expecting all that lowkey. her voice is incredible with alot of personality, and the vibe sounds like a moody romance film set in santa monica fr. her songwriting is so on point too, her cadence and melodies are beautiful. peeped her personal playlists on spotify and she listens to alot of classic dusty soul/jazz/funk music, and you can hear those influences. but the sound is still modern and unique.

i love how the production is dry and muddy at the same time. makes the sound sound sun-burnt in a way, and it fits well with her voice and the arrangements.

thanks for this man, dont know how i never heard of this.

fav songs gotta be saving grace, crying all the time, and the phantom

yeah i like they way you describe The Archer, perfectly summed up lmao

crying all the time is also a fav of mine along with 'But You' which i think is the stand out of the whole album

glad you enjoyed it bro

Yea but you is flame as well. Not a bad song on here
