2010

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010)

(•)> "The Rise and Fall of Kanye West" is really ambitious in its presentation. But it's also a mess... And I don't think I see Messi in these safe extravagancies that glorify Ye's "extremely hardcore lifestyle committing outrageous criminal acts such as stealing... Taylor's mic at the Grammys, doing... threesomes, and destroying private... assholes.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

(•)> Your favourite monkees and their premium guests masterfully conceptualize ocean pollution.

Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010)

(•)> Mostly inoffensive massive hits, but "Marry Me" really got on my nerves..."

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (2010)

(•)> Me and my friends went out of town. We played until we couldn't see the ball. Getting back from the stadium, we had a blast listening to the music chosen by the man who called shotgun. What did he choose? The "White Girl Music Playlist". A shuffled mess filled to the brim with euphoric tongue and-cheek hits from the past decade, like "Call Me Maybe", "Party In The U.S.A.", and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" that are worthy of ruining the car speakers.While my body was moving like crazy, my mind started to wonder: could it be? After so many years avoiding that pop release, would this finally be the day that I would be in the mood to get on those pink clouds?! They left me at home. I rushed to the door. I ran over the stairs and quickly grabbed my headphones. I put them on and finally clicked on Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream". After getting through the nostalgia of "Teenage Dream", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", "California Gurls" and "Firework" I realized that I was at the point of no return and it was simply too late to give up on this album. Not even the fuckin' annoying "Peacock" that followed would stop me from finishing her most iconic work. Do I want to listen to it again? No, not really. I'm very disappointed. I was looking for bombastic and nostalgic bangers to party to, but she only managed to deliver four of those (ok, maybe five...)
