"MAMARU" by RuPaul

 MAMARU — RuPaul | Last.fm

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Today we go on an adventure to the catwalk with RuPaul. From the stage to the catwalk RuPaul has style and attitude which bleeds into this album and you can hear all over it! Unfortunately for me, it felt like a sugar rush. So let's dive right in and see how the catwalk sounds on "MAMARU" by RuPaul.

This is RuPaul's 14th album, he's been releasing them consistently since 1993! I know she is a busy person and has her hands in many different media outlets but I honestly did not know she had this much music under her belt! But enough backstory, let's talk about "MAMARU". 

It started off strong with "Just What They Want" with some great fast lyrics and a really cool production quality with tons of great sounds throughout the song and then "Catwalk" comes on and it sounds exactly the same except with Skeltal Ki's hard to hear verse. After that it just keeps throwing sound after sound until the end of the album.

Don't get me wrong I think RuPaul has a great voice and is a fantastic performer but I feel like this album was created because the producer found a ton of new sounds to add into the music and then decided to throw all of them into it. I also know that this is just how this genre of music usually sounds but there's just no break from it! When some of these songs (like "Just What They Want" and "Mother of the House") go on the 2022 playlist I will probably really enjoy it! Unfortunately this is just too much of the same thing. It's also a short album too, only coming in at 30 minutes! Which game me some reprieve once the album ended but as a piece of art is a little short for a full album.

RuPaul is such an amazing person and artist and in my opinion is one of the busiest people in Hollywood. Their producer had a bunch of new sounds they wanted to try out and said "Get in here to release a new album." and so they did! Also there was a reprise for "Catwalk" which I found hysterical!


My criteria for reviewing albums is a 5 Star average of each track, and a star each for production, concept, musicianship, aesthetic, and overall feeling."MAMARU" by RuPaul gets 2 stars for the track average, and 1 star for musicianship.

"MAMARU" by RuPaul gets 3 stars.

El Deafo

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes into the world of Cece Bell's graphic novel turned into an Apple TV+ series titled "El Deafo". It is a semi autobiographical tale of her early life and dealing with her struggles of being deaf. The series also features original music from Waxahatchee a very underrated artist in my opinion! So let's get started on our review and head to Virginia to meet Cece Bell in "El Deafo" First off I would like to say the character designs are super cute and enjoyable to watch. I love the design of the rabbits and the clean lines of the show are very pleasant to look at. The tone of the show is very colorful yet muted and pastel which I really enjoy.  Now I won't give away the plot but as you can guess from the title and the poster that this is the story of how Cece lost her hearing. It is great to see a story for children addressing this topic for them to understand the issue

POKEMON SWORD AND SHIELD LEAKS!!!

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD DO NO READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS! Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure is not a traditional adventure. In 2 weeks Pokemon Sword and Shield will be releasing on Nintendo Switch and we got almost every new Pokemon leaked this week! Here's how this will go, I will talk little bit about my thoughts on each line and at the end tell you what my first run through team will be. Let's get started! Grookey, Thwackey, and Rilaboom is the pure grass starter line. it's a great line but I don't like the middle evolution's coloring. It's like green, bright green, and then brown? It just seems odd but I love the idea of the drummer gorilla! Scorbunny, Raboot, and Cinderace is the pure fire starter line. It's not the best line because I don't like the clothes The Pokemon are wearing in their designs. Maybe it'll look better in motions but It's not my favorite. Sobble, Drizzle,

Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us deep into the walls and underneath the ground to the land of Fraggle Rock. But this isn't the first time we've been here, we remember this place from long ago and it's time to go back. A reboot of a series that ended in 1987 is just what Apple TV+ needs right? Let's find out! Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has 13 episodes in it's first season and it's just as charming as you remember. The muppets look as good as ever, the characters a charming, and the world building in this show is actually quite good! Each episode has a fun adventure with a pretty solid through line of exploring "outer space" which is just our world. There are some pretty great jokes that go along with this too. In the pilot episode one of the characters gets attacked by a dog, when telling his friends about it he says "I was attacked by the most vicious space monster" and it cuts to t
