Album Review: Lost In My Dreams by Galaxie

It's pretty obvious that Galaxie is heavily inspired by artists such as XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD, with a mix of sad songs and heavy-hitting bangers. This may be a good or bad thing. Is Galaxie an artist with a creative variety of music, or is he just another generic SoundCloud rapper? We'll find out in this track-by-track review.

1. Introduction

This intro is pretty sad in general, with Galaxie getting into topics such as rappers dying, his own father abusing drugs, loneliness, and his connection with what he raps about. It sets up the album for good things, and even if the album doesn't live up to expectations, this intro is pretty solid. I give it a 8/10.

2. I Don't Know Anymore

This beat is pretty fire, and Galaxie has a nice flow on the beat. However, the mixing is pretty bad, which is an unfortunate pratfall given how deep he gets on the track. I'll still give this track a 6/10. It's not my favorite, but it's okay.

3. 21

On this track, Galaxie raps about rappers dying so young over a mellow beat. It seems that this track is particularly referencing Juice WRLD and XXXTentacion, the two artists he takes the most inspiration from. So it makes sense he would make a track like this, considering both of those rappers died at 21 and under. This track gets a 7.5/10 from me.

4. WATCH YOURSELF

It's definitely much better, in my opinion, when Galaxie raps over hard-hitting beats. The X influence is definitely present with this track, and the beat is for sure an X type beat. The mixing is still not that great, but it's still a banger nonetheless. This track gets a 7/10 from me.

5. I'm Sorry

Yeah, Galaxie is not good at singing. He said so himself, so don't think I'm slandering him ruthlessly. The lyrics are fine, but his crooning is so corny and laughable I can't take it serious. At least he tried, with him saying that he's gonna stick to hard rap from now on. That's a good sign, and this track gets a 4/10 from me.

6. Rogue

To end out the album, Galaxie delivers another banger. He improves on WATCH YOURSELF with a better and more cohesive flow and the beat also slaps heavy. On a side note, Galaxie freestyles in his music, which makes sense considering the lyrics aren't the best. But it's good to see improvement. This track gets a 7.5/10 from me.

OVERALL RATING: 6.6/10
