Migos Culture II Album Review

Migos Culture II Album Review
Rating: 5/10 
Favourite Tracks: Walk It Talk It, Notice Me 
Least Favourite Track: Crown The Kings 


On this review I will be reviewing an album released on Friday 26th January 2018. It is the third studio album by Migos called "Culture II".

'Migos' are a trap group from Georgia which consists of a trio 'Offset', 'Quavo', and 'TakeOff'. As you may know I am not a fan of these guys I think these guys are not the best. Since putting "Culture" as my worst albums of 2017. I had a feeling that "Culture II" was not going to be as great as "Culture". Discussing more about 'Migos' they have released a couple of Mixtapes and three studio albums. I have never listened to their Mixtapes I cannot really say much about their mixtapes. But I have heard their three studio albums. "Yung Rich Nation" which is the debut album from the trio. Not the best debut album but they are some good tracks. "Culture" my least favourite album from them. This is the album where they were blowing up to become mainstream, Never really understood the hype for it. And now we come across to "Culture II" Since hearing this album what did I think of it? I thought this album was average slightly better than "Culture". This album had some decent songs with some decent collaboration.

My favourite tracks were Walk It Talk It, which is a great track featuring with Drake. It's quite a catchy track. The production is decent, Notice Me which is features Post Malone who I am not a big fan of done well to be featured on a Migos track. My least favourite track was track called Crown The Kings which I  thought was the weakest on the album. Lack of production on this track.

Overall I can say that this is an okay/average album. I wouldn't listen to it again. It's a 5/10

Craig David The Time Is Now Album Review

Craig David The Time Is Now Album Review 
Rating: 6/10 
Favourite Tracks: Heartline, Going On, Love Me Like It's Yesterday, I Know You, Live In The Moment, Focus 
Least Favourite Track: For The Gram 

On this review I will be reviewing an album released today on the 26th January 2018. It is the seventh studio album by Craig David called "The Time Is Now".

Craig David is a Garage, R&B singer who has been in the music scene since the beginning of the 21st century. Over the years he has been trying out different new sounds to Motown, and to Tropical House. I have been a fan of Craig since his first album was released "Born To Do It" will always be his great album there's not an album from his discography that can replace "Born To Do It". It will always be his masterpiece, My overview of his album discography's. Starting with "Born To Do It" which is my favourite album from Craig. This album defined the beginning of UK Garage. It was a great time to be alive lots of great music was coming in. I loved this album it includes mixture of Garage to a bit of smooth R&B. "Slicker Than Your Average" Not quite the best as "Born To Do It". But "Slicker Than Your Average" is an okay second album. "The Story Goes" which is Craig's third album and my second favourite album from Craig David. This album is good to relax to it has so many underrated songs on the album. His fourth album "Trust Me" which I never really paid much attention to since I've heard a couple of tracks on that album but I haven't heard the full album So I dont have much to say for "Trust Me". "Signed Sealed Delivered" which is his fifth album. It was a new approach to Craig since this album was Motown covers. Which I really enjoyed. It's a shame this album did not receive the praise that it deserved. His sixth studio album "Following My Intuition" which was a brilliant comeback album. I loved how he brang back Garage. And now we move on to his new album "The Time Is Now" which I was quite surprised since there was not any Garage sounds on this album since it was more of Tropical House. Which is okay since Tropical House has now become a trend. I thought his new album was okay it's just not his best album. I can understand that Craig wanted to appeal to our generation. He wanted to make an album of music that is being listened by so many young Pop fans. 

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Heartline" produced by 'Jonas Blue' who I am not really big fan of. The production was okay it could have been bit better. However it's a really cool song. "Going On" great track quite catchy loved the groove. "Love Me Like It's Yesterday" I loved how the track started with the bell sounds. It's probably the second strongest on the album. "I Know You" at first I did not like this track since I found it very weird but then after playing over again I started to like it. Loved the collab with 'Bastille'. "Live In The Moment" produced by 'Kaytranada'. It is the best track on the album. It's so funky I am loving the Funk vibes. It's featured with Goldlink which I think he was decent on this track. "Focus" I feel like this track sounded more like from the previous album since it had those vibes to it. My least favourite track was a track called "For The Gram" It's such an annoying song which is pointless since Craig does not even need auto tune. Such a  terrible track. But however the rest of the tracks were alright. I am still disappointed not another Garage album like the last one  but oh well Welcome to the new sound of 'Craig David'.

Overall I found this album alright despite it's not his best work. I would listen to the album again. It's a 6/10.

Maxo Kream Punken Album Review

Maxo Kream Punken Album Review
Rating: 7/10 
Favourite Tracks: Work, Grannies, Bussdown, Go, Roaches 
Least Favourite Track: Love Drugs 


On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released last Friday on the 12th January 2018. It is the debut album from Houston rapper Maxo Kream with his album called "Punken".

Maxo Kream is a Houston  Trap rapper who I do not really know much about. He has a couple of mixtapes such as "Retro Card", "Quicc Strikes" "#Maxo187", and "The Persona Tape". I will have a listen and check out these 4 mixtapes. But I heard "Punken" his debut album and I can say that this is a good Trap album, I do not hear that many Trap albums that impact me that much. This is the first time that I loved a Trap album. I have heard loads of Trap albums, Some of them are alright and they are some that I thought were not good at all. Despite I do not listen much to Trap but I am fan of the genre I can say that 'Maxo Kream' is one of the best Trap artists out there. At least he does not use Auto-tuned like some Trap artists. I feel like this is a strong Trap album for 2018. I would definitely recommend to listen to this album. 

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album were "Work", "Grannies", "Bussdown", "Go", "Roaches". Starting of with "Work" I thought the style of production was quite unique. It was a decent production it could have been a bit better. His flows are too good. "Grannies" Maxo lyrics are just too dope his flows are awesome. "Bussdown" I thought this track was quite average production should have  been better. "Go" interesting lyrics on this track quite a groovy track. "Roaches" my personal favourite track on the album I loved the production on this track. My least favourite track was a track called "Love Drugs" I thought this was the weakest track on the album quite average. 

Overall I can say that I was impressed that a Trap album really impressed me. I would listen to this album again. It's a 7/10 . 

Fall Out Boy Mania Album Review

Fall Out Boy Mania Album Review
Rating: 4/10
Favourite Tracks: Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea, Sunshine Riptide
Least Favourite Track: Young And Menace 


On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released today on the 19th January 2018. It is Fall Out Boy's 7th studio album called "Mania".

Fall Out Boy are an American Pop Punk Emo Pop band from Wilmette Illinois. Who are back with their brand new seventh  studio album "Mania". It has been 3 years since their last album was released "American Beauty/American Psycho" which I really enjoyed that album back in 2015. They have released other albums such as "Take This To Your Grave" which is their debut album not one of the best albums in my opinion. "From Under The Cork Tree" which is their second album it is one of the band's best album it is my second favourite album from the band. "Infinity On High" their third album which is a decent album. "Folie A Deux" the fourth album another decent album. "Save Rock And Roll" Which is the fifth album some of the fans favourite as it includes the famous trend song "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" such a good song. "American Beauty/American Psycho" My favourite 'Fall Out Boy' album it is their sixth studio album. I love the songs Centuries, and Uma Thurman. And now we move to their new album "Mania". I am not a big fan of 'Fall Out Boy' I do like some of their music but not all of them. I do not really like Pop Punk music that much. Since hearing "Mania" what did I think of it? I think this is 'Fall Out Boy's' weakest album. There were some good decent songs there were some that were just average. I felt really disappointing since this is just a weak album of theirs.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were only two tracks "Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea", "Sunshine Riptide". Starting of with "Stay Frosty Royal Milk" I thought this was a decent track it wasn't that bad. The production was bit average but it's still okay. "Sunshine Riptide" I quite liked this track the production was excellent. My least favourite track was a track called "Young And Menace" the track started well and then the shit production comes in in the chorus and just ruins it.

Overall I thought this album was not the best. I wouldn't listen to the whole album again. It's a 4/10

Joe Satriani What Happens Next Album Review

Joe Satriani What Happens Next Album Review 
Rating: 6/10 
Favourite Tracks: Energy, Cherry Blossoms, Headrush, Looper, Forever And Ever 
Least Favourite Track: Thunder High On The Mountain 


On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year on the 12th January 2018. My second album of 2018 that I am reviewing. It is Joe Satriani 16th studio album called "What Happens Next".

Joe Satriani is an instrumental rock guitarist and multi-instrumentalist from New York. Who has been in the music scene since the late 80's when he released his first album "Not Of This Earth" back in 1986. I dont really know much about him but from what I've heard he seems like a really interesting artist. He's more of an instrumentalist artist. Majority of his albums are just him playing the guitar. 30 years since he has been making music. I don't really listen to guitar instrumentalist album. I am more of Jazz kind of guy. Since hearing this album I thought it was an okay album there were some songs that I thought were excellent. There were some that were average and one song I particular thought was the weakest. Joe is a fantastic guitarist if I had to make a list for top 5 best guitarists of all time he would be high on the list along with 'Slash' from 'Guns N Roses'. If you are into Guitar instrumentalist albums then this is the album to listen. I will  definitely need to have a listen more of his other albums. There might be a song that I might know from his previous albums that I did not know he made it who knows.

Moving along to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Energy", "Cherry Blossoms", "Headrush", "Looper", "Forever And Ever". Starting of with the track "Energy" which was decent despite I am not big fan of hard rock. "Cherry Blossoms" I really liked how it's a soft rock with smooth guitar riffs. "Headrush" interesting guitar riffs on this track. "Looper" which is my overall favourite on the album such a great track. "Forever And Ever" was a great track to end the album I thought it was an alright track. My least favourite track on the album was a track called "Thunder High On The Mountain" which I thought was the weakest track on the album.

I thought this album was okay. I would listen to it again. It's a 6/10

Camila Cabello Camila Album Review

Camila Cabello Camila Album Review 
Rating: 7/10 
Favourite Tracks: Never Be The Same, She Loves Control, Havana, Consequences, Something's Gotta Give 
Least Favourite Track: Inside Out 


Since I have finished reviewing old albums. The time has finally come for me to review the first album of 2018. The album was released today 12th January 2018. It is Camila Cabello debut album called "Camila". 

Camila Cabello is a Cuban-American pop singer who used to be a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony. She decided to leave the group in 2016 to do her solo stuff. During that time the world was shocked when Camila made that decision. I am not a fan of Fifth Harmony but I like only one song which is called "Deliver" from their new album. Despite Fifth Harmony's new album wasent the best The song "Deliver" really was a catchy track that represented  as one of the strongest tracks on the album. Discussing more about Camila I don't really listen much to her music but I can tell by listening to some of her songs I think she done the right thing to leave Fifth Harmony and do her own thing. Discussing more about her debut album I was quite surprised on how good this album is. Camila proves that she can do so much better without Fifth Harmony. I did not even expect for this album to be fantastic but I guess it was a good way to start 2018 with a pop album. I thought this album was interesting and unique. Camila's vocals are beautiful she has such a great vocals. The track Something's Gotta Give was outstanding her vocals were just on point. I was quite surprised on how "Crying In The Club" was not featured on the album I thought it was a decent song but I can understand it probably did not fit well on the album.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album "Never Be The Same", "She Loves Control", "Havana", "Consequences", "Something's Gotta Give". Starting with "Never Be The Same" at first I did not really like the track but then after hearing it more than once I started to like the track. The production was excellent I loved how it was the opening track to the album. "She Loves Control" this is an underrated track it's pretty good track. "Havana" is the most trending track on the album this track is a catchy track to listen to it's fun. "Consequences" this track was quite of an emotional track such a beautiful track. "Something's Gotta Give" Probably the best track on the album. I feel like Camila should have released this as a single instead of "Never Be The Same". My least Favourite track was a track called "Inside Out" I thought it was decent track but I feel like this was the weakest track on the album.

Overall I thought this was a good album. It was a good way to start 2018. I would listen to this album again. It's a 7/10.

Janet Jackson is a pop, R&B artist famously known as the sister of Michael Jackson. along with Jermaine, Tito, Randy, Jackie, Marlon. She has two sisters Latoya, and Rebbie. I have never really listened much to her music since I've always listened more to Michael. But she is a talented artist her music is really interesting. My first album that I've listened from her discography was "Rhythm Nation 1814". I really enjoyed this album it was well produced. Her vocals are fantastic it really suited the production. I've listened to some of her other albums but this album is so special it really represented the beginning of R&B since it was going to become a trend in the 90's. Janet has inspired so many fans from around the world. Their have been fans who are dancers have been inspired by the way Janet dances. Janet is such an inspirational. I wish I discovered her music much earlier  when I was a kid. But it's great I became a fan of her great music. I would definitely recommend to check out this album and her other albums.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Rhythm Nation", "The Knowledge", "Miss You So Much", "Lonely" "Come Back To Me". Starting of with "Rhythm Nation" I love the song it's really uplifting definitely  one of her best songs on the album. Loved the production on this track. "The Knowledge" one of the most underrated songs on this album definitely a decent song."Miss You So Much" is a smooth R&B song which I quite enjoyed. "Lonely" sounded a bit like a ballad which I thought was a good song, "Come Back To Me" is a fantastic song excellent production well produced. There were no least favourite tracks since all of the tracks were good.

I enjoyed this album I thought it was a great album. I would listen to it again. It's a 8/10.

The Smiths The Queen Is Dead Album Review

The Smiths The Queen Is Dead Album Review 
Rating: 8/10 
Favourite Tracks: I Know It's Over, Never Had No One Ever 
Least Favourite Track The Boy With The Thorn In His Side 


Since I am still reviewing old albums until a new album from 2018 is released. Today I will be reviewing the third studio album by the band 'The Smiths' the album is called "The Queen Is Dead".

The Smiths were a British rock band from Manchester during 1982-1987. Morrissey who some may know from his solo career was in this band as the lead vocalist. Johnny Marr who some may know him from the electronic duo from the 90s called "Electronic". He was the bass player for 'The Smiths'. 'The Smiths' are one of the bands that came from the Manchester music scene during the 80s. During that time loads of Manchester bands were dominating the charts. 'The Smiths' are one of them. My favourite 'The Smiths' album is their debut album which is self-titled. I really love the song "What Difference Does It Make" which is my favourite song from them. The production on that song was really amazing it really represented a bit of the new wave pop rock era. Since hearing their third album "The Queen Is Dead" what did I think of it? I thought this album was a classic I thought it was a decent album I can understand on how some fans would say that this is the best album. There were some tracks that I thought were alright.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album "I Know It's Over", "Never Had No One Ever". Starting with "I Know It's Over" It was an alright track the production was alright probably one of the strongest tracks on the album. "Never Had No One Ever" I loved the drum beat on this track quite an up beating track. My least favourite track on the album was a track called "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side". Thought the track was alright just wasent really my favourite.

Overall I enjoyed this album I thought this album was alright despite I am not big fan of them. It's a 8/10

The Beach Boys Pet Sounds Album Review

The Beach Boys Pet Sounds Album Review
Rating: 10/10 
Favourite Tracks: Wouldn't It Be Nice, You Still Believe In Me, Let's Go Away For Awhile, Sloop John B, God Only Knows, Caroline No 
Least Favourite Track: N/A 

On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released 52 years ago on the 16th May 1966. It is The Beach Boys Eleventh studio album called "Pet Sounds".

The Beach Boys are an American pop rock band from California, Who I have been a fan of for quite some time. They have released albums such as "Beach Boys' Party", "Surfer Girl", "Surfin' USA", "Smiley Smile"and many more. "Pet Sounds" is one of the greatest albums of all time it's such a special album. This album has fantastic melody's and fantastic song writing by the legend himself Mr Brian Wilson. This album changed music at the time. It was so inspiring and something different at the time. This album inspired many artists/bands. One of the members from the indie pop band 'Foster The People' said one of their favourite albums of all time was "Pet Sounds". 'Mark Foster' from 'Foster The People' replied saying that it was one of the albums that inspired him to do music. Discussing the rivalry between 'The Beatles', and 'The Beach Boys'. There was always rival between these two great bands. Since The Beatles done well in America the rivalry began when both bands were doing so well. 'The Beatles' wanted to make an album just like "Pet Sounds". The album that was on the same level as "Pet Sounds" was "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band". Critics still call this album as the same level as "Pet Sounds". I prefer "Pet Sounds" than "Sgt Pepper's". "Pet Sounds" will always be my favourite 60's album along with 'Bob Dylan "Blonde On Blonde". Brian Wilson is a genius for creating a masterpiece.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "You Still Believe In Me", "Let's Go Away For Awhile", "Sloop John B", "God Only Knows", "Caroline No". Starting with "Wouldn't It Be Nice" which was the first ever "Beach Boys" song that made me become a fan. I love this song the production on this track is amazing love the mixture of sounds on this track. "You Still Believe In Me" I loved the guitar reef on this great track. "Let's Go Away For Awhile" one of the strongest tracks on the album which was a decent track. "Sloop John B" is a great track with fantastic lyrics. "God Only Knows" is the popular track on the album. It's one of the fan's favourite. "Caroline No" which is the ending track to the album I thought it was a great track to end the masterpiece. There were no least favourite tracks on the album.

Overall I enjoyed this album. This album will always be a masterpiece. I would definitely listen to it again. It's a 10/10

Drake Views Album Review

Drake Views Album Review 
Rating: 4/10 
Favourite Tracks: With You, Controlla, Hotline Bling 
Least Favourite Track: Pop Style 


Since I am still continuing old album reviews until a new album of 2018 is released. I will be reviewing an album released back in 2016 on the 29th April 2016. It is Drake's fourth studio album called "Views". 

Drake is a Canadian rapper who has been in the music scene since 2010 of the release of his debut album "Thank Me Later". Which was a fantastic debut album as the beginning of 'Drake' career. His second album  "Take Care" is classified as Drake's best album. His third album "Nothing Was The Same". is classified as Drake's worst project. In my opinion it was an okay album but it was not better than "Take Care". 4 years later 'Drake releases his fourth album "Views" was not good at all. I didn't like this album that much. From the day when it was first released it was okay but then after hearing this album over and over again I just see myself not liking this album. Drake is one of those rappers that their discography doesn't get the praise it should. Discussing more about "Views" as an album. There were some love songs on this album it was practically a mixture of R&B, Hip Hop. 'Drake' is one of those rappers that has probably one of the average discography's, I much prefer his first two albums.

Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album were "With You", "Controlla", "Hotline Bling". Starting with "With You" which is featured "PartyNextDoor". I thought this track was good. As a fan of "PartyNextDoor" I thought both done well on the track. Great verses from both of them. "Controlla" one of my favourite's on the album I really loved the 'Dancehall' bit on the track. "Hotline Bling" this track is catchy it makes people want to sing over and over again. My least favourite track was a track called "Pop Style". I thought the production was horrendous to listen to. 

Overall I was disappointed with this album it wasn't the best 'Drake' album. I dont think I see myself going back to listen to the album again but I would listen to my favourite tracks on the album. Overall it's a 4/10 

James Arthur Back From The Edge Album Review

James Arthur Back From The Edge Album Review 
Rating: 7/10 
Favourite Tracks: Say You Won't Let Go, I Am, Train Wreck, Remember Who I Was  
Least Favourite Track: Sober 


Happy New Year Everyone On this review I will be reviewing an old album which was released on the 28th October 2016. It is 'James Arthur' second studio album called "Back From The Edge".

James Arthur is a British pop artist from Middlesbrough. Who was known as the winner of X Factor back in 2012. During that time it was a great final between 'James Arthur' and Jahmane Douglas'. Which I personally feel 'Jahmane' should have won. Since he had an incredible voice. After X Factor James released his debut album back in 2013. Which I didn't really enjoy his debut album that much but I did like some songs such as "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You", "Impossible". Since X Factor I've enjoyed some of his performances when he was performing in the live shows. "Hometown Glory" which was originally sung by Adele he done a great version of the song when he performed on the live shows. "Stronger" originally sung by Kelly Clarkson was one of the weakest songs that James performed on the live show. It was his first song performing on the live shows. James Arthur took a 3 year break to release his second album "Back From The Edge". Since hearing this album what did I think of it? I thought it was much better than his debut album. This was more of smooth pop and a bit of smooth folk to it. The tracks on this album were fantastic. There were some tracks on this album that were quite emotional. "Say You Won't Let Go" which was an emotional love song of not letting go of the person you love.

My favourite tracks on the album were "Say You Won't Let Go", "I Am", "Train Wreck", "Remember Who I Was", Starting of with "Say You Won't Let Go" which is a smooth pop track. dedicated as a love song of not letting go of someone that you love. "I Am" is a decent pop track quite an underrated track. "Train Wreck" is another emotional track. I really liked the opening part to the track with the piano playing from the start. "Remember Who I Was" another great track one of the strongest's on the album. My least favourite track was a track called "Sober" I feel like this wasn't the strongest on the album.

Overall I enjoyed this album. I thought it was better than his debut album "James Arthur". I would listen to this album again. I would give it a 7/10
