Great little rock opera

Portishead

5/5

Melancholic atmosphere and ethereal vocals takes you on a transcendental journey

10,000 Days

TOOL · 1 likes

5/5

Awesome sound, I don't know that it's for me, but it's perfect.

Chocolate Synthesizer

Boredoms · 1 likes

3/5

While Lightning Bolt comes down barely on the music side of the divide, Boredoms comes down just barely on the noise side of the divide. It's so close to amazing but it's too painful

Mouth Sounds

Neil Cicierega · 1 likes

5/5

The Mouth cycle are my four actual favorite albums, I just didn't know we got to count them as real music since they are so obviously musical shit posts.

Rose Mountain

Screaming Females

5/5

Beautifully constructed, rocks hard, feels hard

Chocolate Synthesizer

Boredoms

3/5

While Lightning Bolt comes down barely on the music side of the divide, Boredoms comes down just barely on the noise side of the divide. It's so close to amazing but it's too painful

10,000 Days

TOOL

5/5

Awesome sound, I don't know that it's for me, but it's perfect.

Sublime

5/5

Refining the project started by UB40 to sing Ragea about your own experience, Sublime using off beat guitar to croon about the plight of urban poor, and it hits just right. Santeria is a perfect song, and the rest supports it well. 10/10.

John Coltrane And Johnny Hartman

John Coltrane

5/5

The most approachable Coltrane

"Awaken, My Love!"

Childish Gambino

5/5

While not quite having moment to moment music theory perfection, the psychedelic dream state of profundity and beauty is something really special

Stage Four

Touché Amoré

5/5

What a beautiful gift. I cried for more than half the run time. My new favorite album

Mouth Sounds

Neil Cicierega

5/5

The Mouth cycle are my four actual favorite albums, I just didn't know we got to count them as real music since they are so obviously musical shit posts.

Lemonade

Beyoncé

5/5

Sexy furious fun

Erratic Cinematic

Gerry Cinnamon

5/5

Gorgeous, the Dialect adds so much

A Salty Dog

Procol Harum

5/5

Great sixties guitar band sound

Quadrophenia

The Who

5/5

Great little rock opera

The Impossible Kid

Aesop Rock

5/5

My favorite rapper doing some of his best work! Blood Sandwich, Shrunk, Lotta Years, Get Out of the Car, so many top 1000 tracks on one album.

Damien Rice

5/5

Very pretty, and emotive enough to hold interest

Symbolic

Death

4/5

I don't like death metal as much with a tenor. Otherwise, perfection.

Forced Witness

Alex Cameron

4/5

Somehow simultaneously fun and painful. Dips a little too far into misery porn for my taste.

I Need to Start a Garden

Haley Heynderickx

5/5

Gorgeous and evocative.

Operation Ivy

4/5

It was good but too long. By the end I couldn't tell one song from the next. It's hard for punk to get boring, but it definitely wasn't holding interest.

The art of Amalia Rodrigues

Amália Rodrigues

3/5

Pretty, but did not do enough musically to get me past the language barrier

We Like It Here

Snarky Puppy

5/5

So much fun in every track.

Wildflowers

Tom Petty

4/5

Something about this worked. On paper not my thing, but in practice quite nice.

Year of the Cat

Al Stewart

4/5

Some really interesting tunes

Nuyorican Soul

5/5

So cool, amazing flow, incredible groove

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Vince Guaraldi Trio

5/5

THE BEST CHRISTMAS ALBUM OF ALL TIME

Savage Sinusoid

Igorrr

5/5

Truly awesome. The mixture of basically dub-step with metal is inspired.

The Black Parade

My Chemical Romance

5/5

The cancer ballad was the only weak point in an otherwise pitch perfect production

Stop Making Sense

Talking Heads

5/5

The Best of the Talking Heads in a fantastic live performance. Was the recording the best? No. But the music was.

City Of Evil

Avenged Sevenfold

4/5

Didn't care for the vocals, too middle of the road between strong and pretty. Could really have benefitted from some instrumental variety, the guitar drums and bass always sounded the same. Strong start and finish though

Portishead

5/5

Melancholic atmosphere and ethereal vocals takes you on a transcendental journey

This Is the Day...This Is the Hour...This Is This!

Pop Will Eat Itself

3/5

Cool sounds, okay music

Odyssey Number Five

Powderfinger

4/5

Some great variety keeping a fun throughline

No.1 In Heaven

Sparks

3/5

Great production, innovative sound, lackluster voice and ineffective vocal choices

No Balance Palace

Kashmir

4/5

The dark palace track felt out of place, but the rest of the album was atmospherically awesome

Stories

Avicii

4/5

Didn't care for the voice, and it felt a little too lowest common denominator, especially in the choruses, but the verses were lyrical and specific enough and the sounds diverse enough to make it a nice album

Phantom Power

The Tragically Hip

5/5

What an awesome album, so diverse. Feels like REM but more approachable

LUX

ROSALÍA

5/5

Turns out my least favorite thing about modern pop is inane lyrics, so when they're in Spanish I love it!

Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit

Courtney Barnett

5/5

The story telling through both instrument and lyrics are perfect. May not be my favorite vocal style, but immaculate construction
