probably not a bad idea. We may have to disable vpns soon if spammers get too bad but it really hasn't been as dreadful as expected.

this was the first album i reviewed on da shemmy so it's gonna be the first here too (i reviewed six albums there before it died btw)

DAY 1: GOING UP BY THE RAH BAND
in the first listen i really enjoyed it as the original score i gave it was 5/5 and it basically stayed the same since its still a very good album, a bit short of a tracklist but somewhat long since the average song length is about 5 minutes up. i always thought this was a band with multiple people but apparently its just one guy, idk who the vocalist is and didn't really bother searching for it but the vocals are all very serene and incredibly good

very very good tracklist, i consider it skipless honestly, originally i didn't really like Party Games but relistening to it it's one of my favorites very good because i like the chorus a lot although it doesn't beat the ones with the robot vocals or something, idk it just sounds robotic but it appears mainly on Hunger for Your Jungle Love and Rock Me Down to Rio, which is the best song on this album for me, Sam the Samba Man is close because of the chorus and instrumental especially near the end but after hearing both again i prefer Rock Me Down to Rio

the instrumentation is genuinely amazing like its so addicting or something. the two opening tracks are a perfect example for me because the melody on both are very catchy, Rock Me Down to Rio is just very nice and i'll keep bringing up this song because its just too good, i still think the highlights are mostly the vocals, the woman doing these has a nice voice, probably not the same lady doing it on every track but still. Perfumed Garden and Tears & Rain are also a highlight of this album, i love the vocals and the overall vibe but to me it doesn't beat the more upbeat songs although they're still very sweet songs, the only song i didn't enjoy as much as the others (i still think its good doe) is Two Bodies and it's just the chorus that i can kinda look past

Riding On a Fantasy was also good regarding instrumentation and apparently it had vocals but the version of the album i was hearing didn't so whatever, i guess its just a very pretty album after hearing it again, really nice and i recommend it strongly, that's it for this one

favorite tracks: rock me down to rio, sam the samba man, party games
score: 5/5 (idk much about how to score btw)

almost forgot to do one today

DAY 2: SWIMMING BY SWUM
I had found this album randomly while looking for another one and then reviewed it, i never really went back to it so im listening to it again, i enjoyed the sound but i do have to say it feels like something from 2018, because it is from 2018 and this is like the type of things people would find cool in that time, its just sometimes kinda gay but there's good songs, i preferred the more chill vocals other than the rap ones because i dont really think it fits the album or something idk

the first time i listened to it i didn't know it was about some anime called golden boy (i think that's the name i didn't google it) i guess if i knew about it or was a fan of the anime i would've enjoyed more but i don't really watch anime, besides that the sound of the album is good, i really liked the list of songs of Garden Rose through Paris, i think some of the songs could've been longer but its fine as it is, this album overall has a short tracklist and runtime but it does a good use of the samples throughout its runtime, it should've been focused more on jazz other than this mix of lo-fi and rap or something. Paris was very good and it was mostly jazz, again it should've been longer but my point still stands

i think to me where it falls short is by the end, the three last songs mostly, like i dont hate rap or anything but it just doesn't fit this album, Shaolin Slumz samples Wu-Tang Clan i think and it could've been used better, i did say i liked the jazz part more but Trees mixes jazz, lofi and rap which again doesn't work, im not saying it sounds bad i just cant really listen to it without it feeling dated, Swervin' could've been better if it was just the instrumental but whatever, i liked the album, just not some parts of it, would recommend if you like lo-fi or anime or jazz or whatever

favorite tracks: garden rose, leila, paris
score: 3/5
its not bad or anything i just dont like the aesthetics sometimes

i heard this album on a livestream

DAY 3: ADL BY YEAT
issa double album, i was waiting for kanye's album to drop that day and the two had the same release to date, there was a guy streaming and waiting for kanye's album too and he just put this on and played it. i've never been a fan of yeat, mostly because i never really listened to his music, no judgement to him but this album is pretty bad honestly

like, the autotune is really misused imo, it has cool beats like in Face The Flamë but the autotune doesn't flow well and just doesn't sound good in general, like yeat tries to do a deep voice while in autotune but it makes his voice sound weird. its like he tries to be experimental but it doesn't work, the elton john feature should've worked in Lose Control but yeat just ruins it, as i said the beats are good but the autotune ruins, if it was just used better and this nigga stopped making that stupid voice it would've been better, i think the only track i came back to was Griddlë with don toliver, its a very good song because of don toliver's vocals

i guess that's it for the first half, My Way and Liv Likë Dis had potential but whatever, i used to like Dangerous House but listening to it again i don't really like it that much. the second half mogs the shit out of the first half, its not saying much since both aren't really good but still. i liked Went Wrong because it has 070 shake and the features in general are good, i guess the problem to me is the main artist kek, if he just sang instead of rapping it would've been a more enjoyable experience to me

like nigga stop raping the autotune 

favorite tracks: griddle, went wrong

this is the fourth out of the six i did on da shemmey

DAY 4: BALLADS 1 BY JOJI
im not the type of guy to listen to joji since he's a emo asian or something like that yeah but i heard this album since joji is featured on yeat's adl, which was traaaaaash but i thought joji would better and im right because this album is alright, surprisingly i liked some of the songs despite thinking joji's whole thing is just faggy af, there's still some tracks where the sadboy stuff is too much like RIP and NO FUN but there's some that i could overlook it like COME THRU, also the intro track is meh, i didn't care for it

i song i always liked and have been listening to ever since my first listen of this was WANTED U, the beat is amazing and his vocals flow really well, the guitar at the end is also a nice touch, genuinely amazing song, very good experience, best off the song and best joji song ever even if i only listened to this album in my entire life. SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK is the most famous one but i liked it since im a basic bitch, WANTED U thru to CAN'T GET OVER YOU is such a great track sequence, easily top 3 off the album, i wish the latter was longer since clams casino did a good job in it and joji sang well but its still good

i liked TEST DRIVE even if it has that whole sad retarded emo cringey vibe but its one of those songs in here that i can look past it. some other more snca songs i liked were WHY AM I STILL IN LA, I'LL SEE YOU IN 40 and XNXX, 40 was a very good sendoff for the album. im still surprised in how much i liked this album, joji has a great vision but it could be better without overdoing his whole sad persona, i guess i'll listen to more of his stuff like nectar and the one he made recently, its just a nice experience but i could see why some people wouldn't like it boss

favorite tracks: wanted u, can't get over you, slow dancing in the dark
score: 3.5/5
my dick is bigga cus im a crazy nigga

ppd boosting /qa/ all day nigga

DAY 5: BULLY BY KANYE WEST
i listened to it the day it released and me and some friends had stayed up to listen to it only for it not to drop on time kek, i've been playing various songs on this album ever since it dropped because im a huge ye fan and i like most stuff he puts out, this was delayed a thrembillion times but i'd say it was worth it since the earlier rendition of it was all shitty ai vocals and now its an actually good album, insane going from heil hitler to this

i really like ALL THE LOVE, i remember when it was still titled gas chambers and i used to listen to it a lot, the talkbox guy did an amazing job at it and the sampling is also very nice, besides that after listening to the album more i began liking BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and DAMN more, originally i hadn't liked those two and felt like the vocals on them were bad but i warmed up to them, PREACHER MAN is just fucked doe that song sucks and the ai version was better. some of the songs should be longer like PUNCH DRUNK, it should have a second verse or something because that sample is too good for a one-minute song, HIGHS AND LOWS also was a bit disappointing since pomme didn't clear the sample but i still liked it 

i saw that a deluxe was coming but i doubt it honestly, also i thought it was gonna be like donda and the life of pablo where he was gonna update it and mix it better but i dont think kanye is gonna do that but whatever wooooooooooooorkss, that song is so good i loved how it sounded like college dropout. also ye fucking ruined CIRCLES its so shit now compared to what it was before. i saw there's still ai on some songs like THIS ONE HERE, LAST BREATH and even all the love but they're good so idc, it sucks that ye took LOSING YOUR MIND off the album because i liked that song

last breath was good also it was originally in my top 3 with this one here and the title track, which are all good especially the title track but again, after relistening i just liked my current top 3 better, the features are very good also and i guess that's it, it was better than donda 2 and vultures 1 (that album was good btw) and vultures 2 and his most sovlfvll album since the first donda

favorite tracks: all the love, sisters and brothers, whatever works
score: 4/5
i hate bully its awesome

already missed a day

DAY 6: OLD WALTZES BY NIKOLAI NAZAROV (i think its not just by him but the other name is too long and im lazy)
fifth or sixth time hearing this and its still good, first time was because i stumbled upon it randomly
im not one to larp as le beethoven enjoyer because classical music is snca but i've always liked the songs in here, they have a very good vibe or something idk its just pretty, i like how grandiose most of the stuff sounds (i guess its normal since its orchestral kek) but also there's some songs with nice melodies like On the hills of Manchuria, the more orchestral sound is so good its insane, the trumpets on Waves of the Danube are crazyyyy, idk the other instruments but its all good too, danube and A Little Birch Tree sound a bit similar but also not, both are very good to listen to

zero misses whatsoever, i would say its surprising but classical music is actually very pretty and maybe i should larp as a beethoven enjoyer. the music is pretty and the cover too and just everything is very charming, i remember the first time i listened to it i searched for more stuff like this and found some although i didn't really got that much into classical, i should because its such a beautiful genre, i guess the only ones i really saw much was stuff by prokofiev like cinderella's waltz and also aram khachaturian, i think im confusing classical music with waltzes but its the same stuff so whatever

some highlights for meare Remembrance, Broken Strings and Blue Night, but the one i liked the most was Sirens, it starts all calm and then shifts into a very beautiful waltz with a bunch of instruments, easily the best off the album even if its 8 minutes long. i also really liked Daydream and Orchid, mostly orchid since its a pretty chill song or something, Autumn Dreams closes the album and its very enjoyable just like the rest of the songs here, imo it mixes most of the stuff that made the album good, also some of the melody got stuck in my head kek, the ending of it is also very nice and a bit sad sounding 

i remember sending this to a friend once and he liked it so yeah i would recommend it

favorite tracks: sirens, autumn dreams, waves of the danube
score: 5/5
