Welcome back to Caruso’s Critiques! The long-awaited third edition of my album review series is here! It truly has been a long time coming, as the last edition came out at the end of last semester. Now, I planned to do more albums, but life kinda caught up to me and I’ve only got two for you this edition. I have one new album and one historical album. The new album is I AM MUSIC by Playboi Carti. The historical album is Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles. Two incredibly popular artists. I’ve never been a fan of trap, so I AM MUSIC should be an interesting listen. Finally, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Bland is one of the most popular albums ever, with the Beatles taking over America in the mid-sixties. Both of these albums should produce some interesting and polarizing opinions, so you should probably go ahead and get right into the reviews!
I’m reordering the segments for this edition of Caruso’s Critiques because I think it will flow better, so here is an outline of how my reviews are structured: 1. Overview of the album and themes, 2. Individual song ratings (out of 10) and one-word descriptions 3. My standout tracks, 4. My stinker track, 5. Conclusion. The conclusion will also include a total album rating out of 10. Enjoy the reviews!
