NTTR - No Time to Review

Rock Doido boldly reimagines the sonic landscape of northern Brazil, marrying high-octane beats and street-system energy with the flamboyant flair of Gaby Amarantos. The album flows like a single continuous set, each track a pulse in the larger celebration of culture, identity and dance. While rooted in tecnobrega and aparelhagem, the production reaches outward—collaborations with regional stars bring variety and fresh textures. Its playlist-length immediacy might feel endless at first, yet its contagious momentum keeps you moving. For those curious about where pop meets state-of-the-art northern Brazilian rhythm, this album stakes a joyful, unignorable claim.

Finally Over It serves as the closing chapter of Walker’s “Over It” trilogy, still carrying the rawness of her emotional centre but with glimmers of growth and self-determination. The guest list (Chris Brown, Doja Cat, Anderson . Paak) broadens the soundscape, but at its core the album remains a late-night confessional, soaked in vulnerability and mood. Some tracks could blend together under the slow tempo, making the length feel weighty, yet the consistency underscores her identity and voice. Moments of lighter touch and sonic variation hint that she isn’t just stuck in heartbreak—but learning to transcend it. For fans of moody, honest R&B with a firm grip on modern production, this is another solid instalment in her catalogue.

PsychoWarrior: MG Ultra X smashes through the speakers like a high-speed chase across broken digital terrain, never giving you a moment of rest. Machine Girl uses unrelenting beats, distorted vocals and chaotic synths to frame a commentary on our “psychologically damaged culture”.  With pieces like “Rabbit Season” playing off internet conspiracies and neon-punk energy, the album feels modern, dystopian and absurd in equal measure. The production remains tight despite the chaos—there’s a clear shape beneath the noise, which makes the sonic onslaught feel purposeful rather than random. As extreme as it gets, the record still invites movement, even if it’s head-banging in a mosh pit of one. Some listeners may find the relentlessness exhausting, but that is very much the point—this is an album designed for those who want to be challenged, not comforted.

OUT THERE captures Hiromi and her Sonicwonder quartet at full flight: dazzling technical mastery is paired with playful invention and genre-hopping joy. From the explosive opener “XYZ” to the suite of four “Out There” movements, the music flows with relentless energy and unexpected elegance. The quieter moments, like the vocal-inflected “Pendulum”, reveal a graceful sensitivity amid the fireworks. Production clarity allows every instrument—from Hadrien Feraud’s bass to Adam O’Farrill’s trumpet—to shine, giving the ensemble true cohesion. For listeners who relish fusion’s bold possibilities, this is a high-voltage, deeply rewarding ride.

The Sword & The Soaring sees Navy Blue stepping into a space of calm clarity, his voice steady and measured as if he’s finally arrived at a place of quiet confidence. The production uses warm keys, muted drums and sparse arrangements to give his lyrics room to breathe—on tracks like “God’s Kingdom” and “Orchards” he turns childhood trauma, spirituality and family grief into witness rather than spectacle. His collaboration with Earl Sweatshirt on “24 Gospel” feels less like a guest verse and more like two aligned voices in meditation. There’s a maturity here: he doesn’t chase the flashy moment, he simply shows up. For those who seek hip-hop that reflects healing, reflection and real craft, this is a deeply satisfying listen.

Half Blood unleashes a barrage of visceral energy from the first beat, fusing raw hardcore fury with synthetic flashes of modern production. Slayr moves between pummelling riffs and bursts of electronic interference, creating a sound that’s both chaotic and controlled. The album doesn’t shy away from its emotional weight, yet it channels that through force rather than reflection. Some moments verge on over-the-top, but that excess is arguably part of the aesthetic’s appeal. For listeners craving unrelenting intensity with a techno-metal edge, this is a compelling entry.
