Ctrl  by SZA
Ctrl by SZA
2017 | Indie, Rhythm And Blues, Rock
Ctrl is as tough as Damn is tender, and it knocks as hard as The Sun’s Tirade swoons. It’s weirder than any of them, and maybe funnier, too.
Critic- Clayton Purdom
Original Score: 91 out of 100

The Autobiography by Vic Mensa
The Autobiography by Vic Mensa
2017 | Pop
The Chicago rapper’s first milestone is a careful step in his legacy-building business. It's an obvious turn inward, but Vic also digs his heels into his political ground.
Critic - Jay Balfour
Original Score: 6.9 out of 10

There were a few slow moments in the novel, but this didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment. Readers like me who enjoy character-driven stories will enjoy this book. The writing was also really good.

Hopeless Fountain Kingdom by Halsey
Hopeless Fountain Kingdom by Halsey
2017 | Alternative
On an album full of radio experiments, some succeed—“100 Letters,” “Walls Could Talk” and “Alone” demonstrate the perennially fertile sound of alt-pop—and some inevitably fail.
Critic- Katherine St. Asaph
Original Score: 6.5 out of 10

Mysterium
2015 | Deduction, Murder & Mystery, Party Game
Great cross between Cluedo and Dixit (2 more)
Great artwork
Original Polish/Ukrainian rules are simple and fun
US version added a dumb betting system that takes away the co-op nature and is open to people 'gaming' the system (1 more)
Can be brutally hard to give good clues to players
  
Blue Madonna  by Børns
Blue Madonna by Børns
2018 | Alternative, Indie
The second album from the rapidly ascendent synth-pop star Garrett Borns offers more of the same: great ideas constrained in songs that rarely allow them to come to fruition.
By Katherine St. Asaph
Original Score - 5.7

A fun easy going, enjoyable Rom-com. The location set in Hawaii and one of it's Aquariums look great with some good animal tricks performed. Original idea for the story as well. A little predictable but it makes for a fun laid back watch. Cool music as well.

The third in the American Pie series. Just more of the same really with more of the original cast no longer present. It seems to center around Stifler a lot more, but as ever has more than it's fair share of memorable scenes for one reason or another.
