Jan 27, 2026 at 4:02 PM Other than curiosity for Coles album there's really nothing for me, last year was really good for me in terms of releases so I assume it's gonna be dry this year for stuff that immediately speaks to me. I still gotta listen to the new Zach Bryan and I guess the Charli XCX Wuthering Heights soundtrack also counts
Jan 27, 2026 at 9:25 PM Michael Myers - A Late Night Drive No Playboi Carti? Automatic 2/10 Joking of course lmao. I was pretty excited to get into this tape by Myers. The idea of a Night Drive soundtrack sounded pretty interesting. I recognized a decent number of the artists on the tape too, which is always neat. So without further ado, I dove in I have to admit that I wasn't that big a fan of "Heartbeat". It isn't bad, but it isn't really my thing. "All My Friends" is pretty fun, with a pretty good Chance verse (I should probably give Star Line a listen at some point tbh). I've never really gotten too into The Killers, but I thought "Shot At The Night" was pretty neat. Wasn't really a big fan of "Late One Night" sadly. The beat reminded me of the Christmastime LeBron Sprite Cranberry commercials "Blue Moon" was pretty neat, and it's probably my favorite song up to this point. I'm pretty mixed on "Say Something". I think Drake does great, but the beat doesn't work for me sadly. "Run Away With Me" and "Backpack" were decent too. The second half of the tape starts out pretty well with "Life on the Fast Lane". "Rewind" and especially "Actin' Crazy" were pretty d--- good. I'm usually not much of a RHCP guy, but "Soul to Squeeze" was pretty neat. "Nights Like This" was pretty chill, and "Hellraiser" was f---ing awesome. "Just Us" was a pretty good track, and I think the "Mrs. Jackson" sample was dope. SZA is great as always. "Street Lights" is a great closer. I'm a big fan of 808's in general, but this song has always just felt so sad, and it's great. As a whole, I'm a bit mixed on Late Night Drive. There aren't any songs that I would say that I outright dislike, but a lot of the picks just aren't really my style. On the positive side, the songs that I enjoyed, were VERY good, so they're doing some heavy lifting. I do think that the second half is stronger then the first, but that's obviously up to interpretation. Still, big thanks to @Michael Myers for the tape, and yeah. FAVORITES: Blue Moon, Life In the Fast Lane, Actin Crazy, Soul to Squeeze, Hellraiser, Just Us Street Lights Rating: 6/10 @AOTWClub
