Album Notes - Nas - Illmatic

Discover Your Fortune!

Aries - The whole world would be awestruck to know you’re wearing an Apple Vision Pro, except maybe the person you’re operating on. 

Taurus - It’s not the Star Trek jumpsuits disorienting your colleagues, but that thing where you cut out the fabric to expose your hairy pits.

Gemini - You can’t get high off one hit on a Sprite can just minutes before your sister’s big wedding, but dadgummit, you’re gonna try.

Cancer - You can finally admit it. David Bryne dancing makes you physically nauseous. 

Leo - Making out with a flag doesn’t necessarily mean you love that country, even if it did have your baby. 

Virgo - Well, lucky you, you’re apparently the only one in a zillion people who gets utterly and unexpectedly chubby on Ozempic.

Libra - As the spaceship floated over the fire hydrant, you were filled with wonder about how they got the water in that hydrant. 

Scorpio - As your blind date is pointing out between hurls, not everyone is a fan of your “natural odors.” 

Sagittarius - You will begin to develop gills from sitting too long in the inflatable hot tub. 

Capricorn - Your best friend may be a giant brain in a tank, but at least there’s no way he can steal your wife and house this time. 

Aquarius - The Pantene Pro-V is really making a difference. Too bad you can’t show anyone your four-inch pubes. 

Pisces - You almost fooled them, and you would’ve gotten away with egregious estate fraud, if you weren’t trying to sell a cardboard house.

Vampire Weekend's fifth album is a summation of their career thus far, a self-reflection and at times winking nod to the band's own past. While all four previous records resound throughout, Only God Was Above Us pulls most clearly from Modern Vampires of the City and Father of the Bride, its two predecessors. Nothing is as instantly catchy as "Diane Young" or " This Life," but Only God instead reaches textured depths previously unexplored. It's also their most mature effort to date and a continued evolution of Ezra Koenig's songwriting. A grower more than a shower, Only God will age well, and when it's all said and done, likely contend with Modern Vampires as the best in their catalogue.
