Call Me if You Get Lost – Tyler, the Creator
I don’t know why I never listened to this one either. Sorry Tyler. To start, this album gets a huge boost for being another fucking album. It’s clear that Tyler, known music historian/fanatic/whatever, gives a shit about making an album and not throwing a bunch of songs in a random order and calling it a Continue reading

Hive Mind is one of my favorite albums of this Continue reading

Steve Lacy, now the bands most famous member, went from underground/indie name to TikTok guy (much to his dismay). Syd went from Odd Future to being the lead singer of a great band, even with solo albums. Matt Martians Continue reading
