Man On The Moon: The End Of Day (Int'l Version) - Kid Cudi
Tumblr media
I listened to this album because I heard a classmate speak highly of Cudi, so I wanted to check him out. I hadn't heard a lot from him, but I'm glad I chose this album. The music is awfully good and makes you feel like you're in space. The album doesn't contain a whole lot of features, at least not ones you notice, mostly for behind-the-scenes work. The album also does a great job of telling a story depicted by Scott himself. I already knew two of the most known songs on the album, but for songs I haven't heard before I can recommend "Soundtrack 2 My Life", and "Day 'N' Nite - Crookers Remix" <- if you like the original song at least.
I think the album deserves a 7,4/10 as I really like the songs, and it's probably an album I'll keep listening to. It's an enjoyable album even though it's mostly pop.
The album is 1 h 3 min, 16 tracks, released in 2009.

Coloring Book - Chance the Rapper
Tumblr media
This album was definitely a good choice, especially since i haven't listened to a lot of chance. I kinda chose the album on a whim, because I recognised the cover in a movie. The music itself is really well mixed and mastered, with the subtle drums in the background not being too loud (as they are in some other artists' songs). The songs are on the slower side, with a couple of upbeat ones. The songs don't tell a specific story, but it's written from chances perspective, which I really like. The whole album is new for me, but I especially liked "No Problem" and "All Night", they both have great features. I had to listen to the album twice before finishing it as I fell asleep the first time 0.o whoops. 
I think the album deserves a 7,2/10 as the tracks are good, but a little slow for me. The album has a bunch of features, mostly all good. There are some tracks with choir features, where the choir starts singing and then chance comes in, I just don't like the transition.
Also, I used Grammarly on this post so my spelling is better, cuz I'm too lazy to put in all those -> ' <-.
The album is 57 min 21 sec, 14 tracks, released in 2016.

ANTI - Rihanna
Tumblr media
my first Rihanna album :) i really like Rihannas music, so that really boosts my expectations for her albums, and this album didnt dissapoint! i did listen to the deluxe version, and it was actually in the same order as the original (wich is a first for me), but i think they did a really good job regardless. the album already has like 3 of Rihannas biggest hits, wich i of course already like. for the songs i havent heard before; i can recommend "Kiss It Better". the album also has 2 really good features.
i think the album reels in a solid 7/10, because its a nice mix of confident and sad pop/rnb songs. one of the only things i didnt like was her voice in some of the songs, but its something i can definitely look past.
the album is 50 min 58 sec, 16 tracks, released 2016.

Livin the Life - Wiz Khalifa
Tumblr media
a short album that feels like a ride through a slow neighborhood, in a kinda good way. while i enjoyed the music, only one song really stood out to me ("Till Im Gone"). this is definitely not one of Wiz's big projects, but i still think it couldve had more potential. i think my problem is that the album is too slow, while it seems like it shouldnt be. i feel like too much is happening in the background for the tracks to be on the slower side.
anyways, i think the album deserves a 3,2/10, as it didnt bring me to feel the tracks, but i still like the type of all-around music the album possesses.
the album is 40 min 20 sec, 11 tracks, released 2013.

hello!
hi, im karen. yes thats my real name. im a girl who likes listening to music and albums, and i like to rate and review them too.
ive already listened to over 60 albums, but i want to share my experience, especially with people who dont want/have the time to listen to whole albums (i don’t skip a single song, not even skits). i mostly listen to pop and hip-hop, but i want to broaden my knowledge on music, so im open for suggestions. 
not a lot of people are gonna see this, but id love your opinion on music, movies and everything in between. this blog is probably mostly going to be me rating albums, but i’ll also post a bit about whats on my mind :)
if you’re interested, stick around!
