I don't know if you ask me, Grimes made another enjoyable album. Only this time, it's darker with topical songs that are - at some points - underwritten. Sure the tracklisting is somewhat inconsistent, but the songs are character-filled alongside ethereal production.

I don’t dislike “Side Effects” but, there are quite a few gripes that hinder me from fully enjoying this album.

BLURB:
While having stellar lyricism, Jay Electronica's long-awaited debut is chock-full of production issues and – ironically – a lack of Jay himself. It doesn't overstay its welcome, but A Written Testimony quickly loses momentum in the latter half of the album.

BLURB:
Ramirez and Rocci team up to create one of the smoothest and grooviest G-Funk records this year, despite some missteps that don't end things on the right foot, it's still a great album.

BLURB:
RTJ4 bears some of the most robust production and songwriting amongst any Run the Jewels album yet. However, the same punch delivered on the duo's other records feels relatively diminished on this project.

Due to the brevity of ‘ZUU’, it’s hard to enjoy these songs without wanting more. But the material that Denzel Curry brings to the table on this album is infectiously catchy and hard to not dance to.

This album sounds great in the background but once you start to listen to the lyrics and the production, you realize that it’s so-so.
