Game went quasi-conscious on Documentary 2, with this Streets of Compton its honestly the most straight up gangsta and ruthless record I heard outside of local hood mixtapes in ten years, possibly fifteen. I mean literally, you'd have to be in a gang to honestly get like half of it. It feels entirely like a "local" rap project with ZERO intentions of if anyone else "gets it", its some shit to bump sitting in front of the pad with the homiez drinking brewz. i love it

Chili Peppers - First listen was good. I know most of you don't care about RHCP or whatever, but I'm happy w/ this album. Dangermouse producing is a cool fit. Feels like sort of a throwback to the funk-dance stuff they were doing pre-Blood Sugar in a way.

I heard the single, I hate to say it but its getting to be boring. It just sounds like slightly tweaked versions of what they did fifteen years ago... I'm willing to give the record a try, but it strikes me as becoming more like those boring nostalgia records rather then some kind of legitimately "new" stuff or progression the way No Cities To Love was..

Radiohead - I finally heard this cuz it's on Spotify now. Pretty damn great. I might (MIGHT) like it more than King Of Limbs and In Rainbows. Well maybe not In Rainbows. We'll see...

This is a masterpiece, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I listened to it literally every single day for over two weeks after it came out. Still listen to it several times a week. I honestly have not had the kind of "first listen" experience about a record like this in a long long time. Its restored my hope and curiosity in obtaining new musics

Spinhead Sessions - is f'ing glorious. Unearthed instrumentals from 86? It doesn't get much better.

Speaking of which, I need to get this and Swans already, I am just being lazy I have the money.
at this point, only half a year in, I feel I an say that 2016 has been a better year for music in my mind than 2015 was.[/quote]
