Hunter's Weekly Album Mini-Reviews

February 27, Mitski – Nothing’s About to Happen to Me

Mitski, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌ Mitski is back with a new album. This begs the question… Is it a mitski, or a hitski? Thank you! I’ll be here all week. No, but seriously, this album is filled with so much heart and soul. There is personality and charisma pouring out of every note. But that’s kind of Mitski’s thing. This isn’t anything new. The music is this very easy listening folk rock, and the lyrics are personal and existential. It’s that great combination of sounding pretty and giving you something to think about. There are some great...

February 20th, Baby Keem – Ca$ino

Baby Keem, Ca$ino ⭐️⭐️❌❌❌ Baby Keem is back with a new album. This is his first since 2021’s The Melodic Blue. So, it’s been quite awhile, especially for such an up and coming artist who is still trying to find his sound and place.

February 13, Charli xcx – Wuthering Heights

Charli xcx, Wuthering Heights ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Charli xcx is having a hell of a year. Her new mockumentary, The Moment, just came out, and now she’s dropped this album. It’s billed as a soundtrack to the new Wuthering Heights film, but it is really just a new Charli album. The film might be polarizing, but this album should not be. As I alluded to just then, this album is great. I’ll just get that out of the way up top. Listening to this album is a visceral experience at times. Starting with the first track, the very ominous “House featuring John...

February 6th, Puscifer – Normal Isn’t

Puscifer, Normal Isn’t ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌ Puscifer is back with a new album. Puscifer is a great band name, by the way. Sometimes I’ll see people online saying it’s a bad band name, or it’s cringe. I completely disagree. Also, I’m guessing these people have never tried to think up a band name. Go ahead and try it. But anyways, this album is dark, moody, a slow burn, and surprisingly, above all else, pretty funny. The music is very gothic inspired. It’s fairly lowkey and subdued, but not to the point of being boring. No, there’s plenty of interesting stuff going on...
