@bam541 I think that's fair. Ginger has some great tracks, but it also has some of my least favorite in their whole discography, and like you said it doesn't really have a consistent through-line. For me, some of the tracks felt a little forced, like they were trying to capture a vibe but didn't really know how (i.e. Big Boy and Love Me For Life), whereas I think Roadrunner has songs that want to capture the same vibe and do so seamlessly (Old News, What's the Occasion). Not trying to drag Ginger, because I did like it, but I feel like Roadrunner captures a lot of the same moods and tones without sacrificing its energy.

As for Iridescence, yeah you're right it kind of is in a lane of its own. Through all of its faults (and I think there are many), it is pretty damn original so I give it credit for that. Also J'ouvert is excellent.

@bam541 Let me know what you think!

Call me a basic Southern California white boy, but I really like the new Brockhampton record. Every time I go into a new album of theirs, it's met with hesitation. Iridescence was off, and though I liked Ginger, it didn't really get close to the heights of the Saturation Trilogy. So, going into Roadrunner, I was a little scared. However, as the tracks went on and on, the fear dissipated and was replaced with awe. They've finally made an album that is as good as Saturation again. Their previous stagnation seems to have vanished, as this album represents a true evolution of their formula. There is a maturity here, like they've finally figured out what it is they want to do post Saturation.

I like every track on here, a first in a long time, but here is my favorite:

This new No More Heroes 3 trailer is really, really fun:

I did not include any games from April if they are labelled as such. I really need to get this out on time so that stops being an issue lol. Seriously though, sorry, I need to set a reminder on my phone or something. Anyway see you next month!

I literally took a break from playing after this moment because I was too spooked. I feel like it's so brilliant because it then establishes that something like this can happen, making you worried about it every time after.

Hey everyone. Sorry again that this one is late. Life has been a little crazy for me so I lost track of time. I promise the next one won’t be late!

@DMCMaster Yeah if the collection fails then Bioware are in dire straits. With that said, I'd be very surprised if it did. It seems like a sure thing.

In related news:

Wish I could say this made me happy. Instead it makes me worried for the future of Mass Effect. If Dragon Age fails is the next ME gonna be a live-service game?

@bam541 Yeah it really is a neat idea bogged down by bad executive choices and a rushed dev time. Would have loved to see it bounce back a la No Mans Sky or Fallout 76.

@dmcmaster Yeah it's certainly been rough for them, though I think most of their Ls can be attributed to EA rather than Bioware themselves.
