This week's album and EP releases (20-26 July)

We're sorting out our process for these to be more efficient, so hopefully we won't be missing weeks anymore. Sorry again about that.

Here's a list of a things that came out in this past week, up through Friday. Of course, there's no way to be completely comprehensive with this and we avoided including things where information was too lacking, so feel free to mention anything that isn't on here that you think is worth mentioning. Beyond that, if you have any thoughts of any of these albums, it would be great to hear them :)

    Man the new chance is really bad. Luckily, I the new rich brian and big data albums are pretty good, so that kinda makes up for it.

      I had only heard a few of Rich Brian's very early tracks on YouTube when he was first coming up, and they were fucking terrible IMO. And from what I have seen of him on First We Feast he seemed incredibly bland and uninteresting, personality wise. But thanks to your comment I decided to give his new album a listen. I have to say, it wasn't my favorite, but was much better than I expected, and it changed my opinion on him a bit. His music is still not really my cup of tea, but there were a few hidden gems on there that I really enjoyed (e.g. Kids was great).

      I totally disagree about Chance's new album though. I really liked it and love how diverse it is genre-wise. Do You Remember, featuring Ben Gibbard (who I adore), was amazing and I will definitely be listening to that a bunch in the coming months. We Go High, I Got You, The Big Day, Let's Go On The Run were also especially great as well, IMO.

    I haven't had a chance to listen to much this week, but I did listen to the YBN Cordae album, The Lost Boy, while we worked on this... and I have to say that I was impressed and enjoyed it a great deal. It's pretty chill and at times pretty thought provoking. The featuring artists are all great. Solid album. Highly recommend.
