Popular Reviews

DOOM by Bobby Prince

surly only people that have played the game would be intrested in this and even then only the sad ones

The Grass Is Blue by Dolly Parton

. A towering achievement in country-bluegrass songwriting. It proves that nobody can articulate pure, crushing sorrow quite like Dolly Parton—even when she's singing about upside-down landscapes.

Violet by The Birthday Massacre

​Violet succeeds because it completely commits to its own distinct identity. While some critics note that it borrows heavily from retro 80s aesthetics or features slight structural repetitions, its cohesive tracklist flows seamlessly from front to back. ​It manages to be simultaneously eerie and uplifting, nostalgic and fresh, making it a foundational record for the dark electronic rock scene and a high-water mark in The Birthday Massacre's discography.

Crazy Rhythms by The Feelies
Aug 25 2026

Crazy Rhythms is a sacred text for a reason. You can draw a direct line from the angular, geek-chic, hyper-rhythmic template of this album straight to generations of alternative royalty—from R.E.M. and Yo La Tengo to indie bands decades later. It is brilliantly peculiar, entirely timeless, and endlessly rewarding upon repeat listens.

Silent Hill 2 by Akira Yamaoka

does a game soundtrack count as an album if you haven't played the game

The Grass Is Blue by Dolly Parton
Aug 27 2026

. A towering achievement in country-bluegrass songwriting. It proves that nobody can articulate pure, crushing sorrow quite like Dolly Parton—even when she's singing about upside-down landscapes.

Flower Boy by Tyler, The Creator
Aug 28 2026

nothing new here some collaborations but nothing stands out to me

Scenery by Ryo Fukui

Japanese jazz what's not to like

One Time for All Time by 65daysofstatic
Sep 02 2026

One Time for All Time is an enthralling, exhausting, and deeply rewarding listen. It successfully bridges the gap between the head-nodding intricacy of electronic music and the visceral thrill of a live rock band. For anyone diving into mid-2000s alternative instrumental music, it remains an essential, genre-defying record.

Gemstones by Adam Green
Sep 06 2026

Gemstones is an eccentric, brilliantly melodic, and deeply offensive-to-some oddball record. It’s an acquired taste—either a masterpiece of warped, absurdist pop or a juvenile headache, depending entirely on your threshold for dark indie-rock irony.

Six by Mansun

nice sound... it's not garbage

pip album. some not bad.

Paid In Full by Eric B. & Rakim
Sep 09 2026

an album with not a lot of profanity good wholesome music

Run The Jewels 2 by Run The Jewels
Sep 10 2026

again the profanity doesn't do anything for the overall experience

Untrue by Burial
Sep 11 2026

​Untrue avoids the cold, clinical sterility sometimes associated with electronic music by packing every corner with deep humanity. The pitch-shifted, fragmented vocal samples sound like memories fading in real-time, creating a paradoxical sense of profound isolation paired with communal comfort. ​It is an immersive masterpiece that rewards deep, headphone-isolated listening. Years after its release, its blueprint can still be heard echoing across modern electronic and pop production, yet nothing else quite captures its specific, shadowy magic.

Pop by GAS
Sep 12 2026

I like a lot of ambient music but this is as bland as NO PUSSYFOOTING.

Loss Of Life by MGMT
Sep 13 2026

If you like your psych-pop mellow, deeply textured, and emotionally grounded with a touch of existential melancholy, Loss of Life is easily an 8/10 record.

Blink-182 by blink-182
Sep 14 2026

This record is where the band grew up overnight. Heavily influenced by post-hardcore, The Cure (Robert Smith even guest-stars on "All of This"), and the moody atmosphere of side-project Box Car Racer, the album bridges youthful energy with genuine heartbreak and cynicism. It relies on atmospheric guitar delay, intricate drum work, and complex lyrical themes exploring divorce, impending adulthood, and distance

Stories by Avicii
Sep 15 2026

Stories was Avicii throwing open the doors to every genre that interested him. While it divides opinion on whether it flows as a cohesive front-to-back listen, it contains some of the most intricate, piano-driven production of his career.

Night Drive by Chromatics
Sep 17 2026

This is an essential listen for anyone who loves moody, atmospheric electronic music with a touch of post-punk grit. It holds up tremendously well as a defining blueprint for modern synth-pop.

Shallow Bed by Dry the River
Sep 18 2026

​Shallow Bed is an ambitious, deeply passionate debut. It takes the acoustic foundations of folk music and injects them with the heart and kinetic energy of alternative rock. If you appreciate soaring vocal harmonies, intricate string arrangements, and music that builds toward explosive emotional peaks, it remains a rewarding and underrated listen from the 2010s indie landscape

Violet by The Birthday Massacre
Sep 20 2026

​Violet succeeds because it completely commits to its own distinct identity. While some critics note that it borrows heavily from retro 80s aesthetics or features slight structural repetitions, its cohesive tracklist flows seamlessly from front to back. ​It manages to be simultaneously eerie and uplifting, nostalgic and fresh, making it a foundational record for the dark electronic rock scene and a high-water mark in The Birthday Massacre's discography.
