Ultimately, Live From the Underground may not be K.R.I.T.'s best album yet, for more that'd be ReturnOf4Eva, but that's like saying Michael Jordan's fourth championship was the "best" of his six titles.- DJ Booth

A few days of repeat spins now have revealed the album to have more depth and sustainability than I first suspected.- DJ Booth

Strange Clouds isn't perhaps as thrilling as Adventures, mostly because the thrill of the unknown is gone, but B.o.B.'s second album is superior in almost every respect.- DJ Booth

While there's nothing revolutionary here, New Life is undoubtedly the work of a woman who's supremely comfortable in her own skin and own music.- DJ Booth

The tracks do not really flow into each other or sound good in sequence, but individually some records do shine.- DJ Booth

Here both the production and Nicki's delivery border on absurdist theater, at one point devolving into Nicki literally making noises.- DJ Booth

K.R.I.T.'s created another album that will stand the test of time with 4EvaNaDay.- DJ Booth

It has to be said though that the places where WZRD struggles most are the places where Dot and Cudi leave their hybrid sweet spot and try to go straight rock.- DJ Booth

This is an album you play during a lazy Sunday afternoon, an album you reach for during a long road-trip, and in a way that's far more valuable than the month's new hottest thing.- DJ Booth

Chiddy Bang is the sound of the younger generation, which is to say that they sound like whatever they feel like at the time, and their debut album Breakfast proves it.- DJ Booth

Beyond his mic skills, King also hints at Tyga's more seriously minded side, a side that surfaces again and again throughout the album.- DJ Booth

The young Somalian is far from the first artist to have to figure out "their" sound while sweating under the spotlight, and by the sound of Silence he's still figuring things out.- DJ Booth

Ultimately V&A is an album that presents a fearlessly original and coherent, if distorted, vision, something that's become an endangered species in the age of the hit single.- DJ Booth

It may have its moments of aggression, but ultimately Habits & Contradictions is often a more quiet and thoughtful album.- DJ Booth

The point is that despite the delays and false starts and question marks, ultimately Young Jeezy has continued an impressively consistent run of quality albums.- DJ Booth

Her talent and voice makes up for the fact that Lioness isn't really an album, but more like a collection of unfinished business.- DJ Booth

undun clocks in at well under an hour, Questlove said he wants it to be "ADD proof", a running time that also magnifies the importance of the third of the album that's purely instrumental. It's on these vocal-free tracks that The Roots truly show what they're capable of.- DJ Booth

Love and Rockets is a chance for hip hop to transform back to its roots; the real, musical, easy to listen to simple beats and lyrics that we all grew to love.- DJ Booth

I don't think My Life II in and of itself will go down as one of Mary's best albums; for all its quality it just doesn't have the focus and vision of a classic and occasionally seems to pander to the hot house/techno/club trend.- DJ Booth

Radioactive [is] simultaneously the most and least mainstream friendly album of the year. It's a seeming contradiction that only someone who was supremely confident in their identity as an artist could pull off.- DJ Booth

Gambino's strength is also his weakness. As a TV writer and a comedian he's naturally focused on punchlines and creating moments, which at his best is enormously entertaining and at the worst forced- DJ Booth

Talk That Talk is both a sharp departure from her dark, rock-infused last two albums Rated R and Loud and a more easily enjoyable work.- DJ Booth

We're still a long way from a classic, but Take Care once again proves that he's just too good to disappear anytime soon.- DJ Booth

You know that breathless feeling you had when you ran from the cops after they broke up a house party? This album is that feeling in musical form.- DJ Booth

Most of Fear of God feels like detached, competent, common-denominator, major-label hip-hop, which would be fine if we weren't already aware what he's capable of.- DJ Booth

9th's created an album that slowly backs away from the bigger, heavily soulful tracks he's best known for and delivers some more subtle, softer work.- DJ Booth
