Oct 7, 2025 @AOTWClub sorry for the late post, I've been unusually busy these past 2 weeks First off, I want to apologize for taking so long to tally up Egotrip. I was waiting for any last minute reviews but it's been two weeks, so I'm gonna go ahead and count the reviews Egotrip has gotten.... 9.5/10!!! It is now #1!!! Congrats to @jankland It's been some time since Morbid Stuff got chosen, so I'l tally up on Thursday for any last minute reviews. Don't forget to get in your reviews for CARE FOR ME as well!!!
Oct 7, 2025 First time I ever missed a review haha I’ll do a gauntlet review tomorrow of all 3 albums, it’s finally fall break season and all my s--- is accounted for
Oct 9, 2025 My review for Saba is a lil late, but I’ll have it ready by the end of the week for sure. I think we’re all running behind at this point lol. Is Mark Carney coming back or is it the end of AOTW after this round?
Oct 10, 2025 @AOTWClub @lowkitz Saba - Care For Me Heard a couple Saba tracks, none from this album. Mostly his song with noname. One thing I didn't expect too much was his voice, a lot of variation than I anticipated to the point where I thought it was different people rapping at certain points lol. All the production is great, very smooth and hits the laid back vibe with great buttery flows that I'm a huge fan of. The writing is pretty straight forward but really vivid and really works as a f----- up slice of life kind of feeling. Busy/Sirens is a great opener, Broken Girls is probably my least favorite on the record but it's still solid. Life is fuckig dope, love the chorus especially. The concept of Calligraphy is really cool, such a smooth listen, one of my favorites. Fighter is a an interesting direction to take a song like that and really makes it click how much I appreciate the vulnerability in the candidness ofnthe record. Smile is another favorite, the flow in the 2nd verse is immaculate its one of the more optimistic songs on the album and is really nice listen. Logout is cool, I've heard too many songs throughout the years about logging off but this is well written and Chance has a great verse. Grey is pretty nice with a really stellar 2nd half, I'll take any song I can get about labels being dogshit lmao. Prom/King is easily the best song on the record from a writing and song standpoint, incredible storytelling and imagery, gets more emotional to me than I was expecting, and him referencing his cousin Walter on the opening track makes it feel worse lol. And Heaven All Around Me is the perfect closer following from Prom/King. I didn't know much about this album but after listening and skimming through it again during the writing process I'm realizing most of the songs on the record can be about or relating to his cousin and I didn't think of it that way the entire time like an idiot and it already makes this album better lol I'm overall quite positive on this album the only thing that's gonna bring the score down to me is mostly the fact that I want more listens with it cause I haven't been able to do much full album listening due to work. I can tell this is gonna grow on me more and more with each listen and really sitting with the vibe and the lyrics of it. Favorite Songs: Busy/Sirens, Life, Calligraphy, Smile, Prom/King RATING 8.5/10
Oct 10, 2025 Really want to get more listens in with this one but I haven't missed a deadline yet and I'm not gonna let that happen now so sadly I couldn't sit with the record as much as I wanted lol
Oct 10, 2025 We'll see, he gets unbanned the 18th iirc but idk if he's coming back or not. If not I don't mind helping Yeez out with continuing it
Oct 10, 2025 Yeah deffo can’t let AOTW end. I’d like him to come back obviously but I don’t see a reason AOTWs gotta end if he doesn’t. Ideally he does tho
Oct 10, 2025 I If he doesn't come back I would 100% appreciate the help. I have no idea how JT singlehandedly managed the club back when we had like 25 members, it's wild
Oct 10, 2025 Someone do me a solid and pick Onyx Shut Em Down just so I know Yeez has listened to the greatness of the fubu n timbz blassic.
Oct 10, 2025 He used to run the country, so managing AOTW was probably a breeze. Though judging by our economy, he could have spent more time focusing on the nation.
Oct 12, 2025 Will be reviewing Care For Me tonight hopefully. Last few days have been crazy, pretty much drove across the entire continent lmao. Luckily I’ve heard the album 200 times already and it shouldn’t be much of a challenge. My apologies for being late though!!!
Oct 12, 2025 Since we don't really have an album on the horizon until the 18th depending on what JT decides, I'll move up the deadline for Morbid Stuff to today, so if you haven't gotten your review in, today is the last day. There's no deadline for CARE FOR ME, but i'd suggest that people get it in before the 18th so we have a clean slate before the next round. Hope everybody is doing well by the way!!! @AOTWClub
Oct 13, 2025 at 10:50 AM @AOTWClub Morbid Stuff has scored an 8.1!!!! It is now in 6th place!!! Don't forget to review CARE FOR ME
Oct 13, 2025 at 11:04 AM Not sure if anybody keeps up with the OP regularly, but the placements have been updated, and the formatting has been tweaked a bit Also, slightly unrelated, but in case anybody remembers the RYM list that I made to keep up with the schedule, would it be useful to also have an AOTY version since some of the members have accounts there?
