Funny you mention that. I was just catching up through my backlog of new albums, and the new Superchunk record was next in the list.
Listened from start to finish. Pleasing, dependable, solid indie rock. But nearly every damn song is played at the same tempo with the same song structure. Boring after a while.
Very happy with Trombone Shortyās new album that I bought yesterday. Lots of great horn sounds. One or two of the songs are a bit too āpoppyā for me, but overall it is a really good album. This will be in heavy rotation for a while.
The Crystal Method and Rammstein are back! If you are into that kind of hard EDM and metal, I would definitely recommend checking these OGs out!
This probably isnāt the crowd for Broadway, but the all-female studio cast album of Jesus Christ Superstar is finally out and itās just 
Special highlight for me is THE Shoshana Bean as Judas
Thanks to the beauty of Discord and a surprise listening party, I had the chance to hear the majority of the Chainsmokerās upcoming album, So Far So Good, early.
I think it will come as a shock to people and would recommend going with an open mind if you have not liked their stuff previously.
If you like Lana Del Rey, I highly recommend Suki Waterhouseās debut. If the songs were bad, Iād call copycat (especially Melrose Meltdown), but thereās something really unique about this, I love it
Agreed. Denzel never disappoints
Just going to add here, Penon Serial 
KG&TLW
Lots of albums this week. Probably too soon to make some final judgment but, these 2 have stood out so far.
Really enjoying this album
You can listen on Spotify
Buy/Stream from Amazon, Qobuz etc. etc.
I was trying that out on iTunes today. Didnāt push me to buy, but I will likely listen again.
Not quite 2022, but close.
Some tracks are releases, but some are new
These are both excellent.
Jackās new album is also fantastic if youāre into his kind of stuff.
Wellā¦ big week.
Dude ā¦ Didnāt even realize today was the day for Kendrickās album.
Damn, I have this album by Kendrick waiting for me till late evening. Feedbacks are quite mixed from what I see though
I think it was aiight. He stuck to the old formula, we didnāt get too much experimentation. Some love it, some hate it.
You always see fans saying bring X artistās old music back. In this case, Kendrick continued what he is great at, what he got respected for with his past releases, and what his fans love him for.
I know he mentioned making a rock album, so I guess we can look forward to more experimentation if this isnāt his retirement project.
For example, an artist like The Weeknd is a perfect example of an artist who changed and also grew away from his old style. You always see fans asking for his old stuff, but they cannot appreciate his growth and maturity (that is a result of all the time that has passed).
Would I say that Abelās new albums are worse than his old ones? No. They are different. We see him exploring the visual process more and his character development.
tl;dr I think Kendricks new album is good but not jaw-dropping because such a performance was expected after DAMN.
Been meaning to do this for a while. I bought the new Two Feet album, Shape & Form. I find I just get lost in his stuff some times.
Idk man, Iām not the biggest Kendrick fan by any means, but this album is for me the best thing since Blonde by Frank Ocean. Iāve said this elsewhere, but itās musically as ambitious as To Pimp a Butterfly and lyrically as masterful as DAMN.
The comparison with The Weeknd you made in the next post - I love his latest album and I certainly agree heās grown a lot, and maybe itās because Iām not a fan of his, but itās still āthe sameā Weeknd to me (as much as, I guess, the new Kendrick is the same old Kendrick to you)
In any case, back to Kendrick: as I said, I havenāt heard a mainstream album so fully-rounded in every single aspect since Blonde (and I do listen to pretty much everything that comes out)
The narrative arc, the compositions, the elasticity he has towards rhythm and how heās always pushing different accents than the (stellar) drumming thatās going on in the back, the production itself, THE SOUND DESIGN (my god!). Not to mention it flows so naturally despite being so particular.
I do think the album would be even better if the track We Cry Together was a minute long at the most because itās clearly a skit but heyā¦
Mother I Sober is currently my absolute favorite
