Hunter's Weekly Album Mini-Reviews

April 24, Foo Fighters – Your Favorite Toy

Foo Fighters, Your Favorite Toy ⭐️⭐️⭐️❌❌ Foo Fighters are back with a new album. Of course, Foo Fighters have had a few turbulent years. Once viewed as the most wholesome band in rock, but not so much anymore. But anyways, there really isn’t much to say about this album. It’s very much a Foo Fighters album. Nothing too adventurous. Just agreeable, sing song rock. Though I will say this is more of a 90s throwback sound. High energy the whole way through. Overall, it’s a Foo Fighters album, you know… It’s fine. Favorite song: “Window”

April 17, M.I.A. – M.I.7.

M.I.A., M.I.7. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌ M.I.A. is back with her seventh album. She’s also back with clothing that supposedly blocks out 10G waves. So… That’s interesting. Because of things like that, I really did not have high hopes for this album. But, her losing the plot or not, this album is her best since 2013’s Matangi. Sonically, this is vintage M.I.A.

It’s all evangelical Christian since she converted...

April 10, My New Band Believe – My New Band Believe

My New Band Believe, My New Band Believe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My New Band Believe has released their debut album. My New Band Believe is not my new band, but rather Black Midi’s bassist Cameron Picton’s new band. Very confusing band name, but I’m here for it. Anyways, I really didn’t know what to expect from this album, I hadn’t listened to any singles or anything. But I kept seeing a lot of hype surrounding this release. And boy, it did not disappoint. This album is musically insane. A faithful throwback to late 60s/early 70s prog. The musicianship on display here is...

April 3, Thundercat – Distracted

Thundercat, Distracted ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌ Thundercat is back with his first album in six years. Thundercat being of course famed bassist Thundercat, and not a titular Thundercat from the 1980s cartoon. Although, maybe one of them is also dropping an album. I don’t know what they’ve been up to since their show ended. But anyways, this album is really great. If you’re in the mood for some easy listening, yet interesting, R&B with some Star Wars references sprinkled in, then you are in luck. There are also multiple cameos on this album. Tame Impala, Flying Lotus, and Lil Yachty all featuring. And...
