Lyrical Lemonade - All Is Yellow
40

The first song is the best then it just kinda falls off, also “Hello There” is such an absurdly lazy song I’m actually impressed

45

A pretty uninteresting slam album with a combination of really stupid samples (the Slam of 87 as a song title got a kick out of me tho)

Kid Cudi - INSANO
50

Thank goodness the XXXTENTACION feature was literally just the second to last song on 17 with Kid Cudi grafted onto it, that totally isn’t really scummy

Divinity - Invention
58

Instrumentals are cool but some of the clean vocal lines sound like Ronnie Radke and it’s freaking me out

Incassum - In Vain
78

The instrumentals are dope but the vocals are hit or miss

Frostbite Orckings - The Orcish Eclipse
20

It’s pretty easy to tell this album is ai generated because it sounds like it has no soul, all the riffs feel procedurally generated lol

AJR - The Maybe Man
30

It was my own fault that I expected them to do something different and not do their “isn’t life quirky” shtick they’ve been doing for half a decade now

Silent Planet - SUPERBLOOM
56

It’s the Invent Animate album from earlier in the year but worse

TheHxliday - LUVVERVILLE
57

I respect TheHxliday for trying to forge a new career path so long after Save Me came out. It’s not particularly cohesive or original (some of the album feels very rage sound based, some of it sounds like earlier Lil Uzi Vert, some of it plays off of his older Emo rap sound), it has some decent ideas and songs but nothing particularly memorable.

Mindrazer - A Thing of Nightmares
59

Instrumentally it’s really nice sounding, combining thrash metal riffs with more melo death leads, however the vocalist sounds like James LaBrie from Dream Theater but 15 times worse

Drake - For All The Dogs
45

Has Drake put in effort since 2017?

Zemeth - 絶世ノ哀歌ト黒紅ノ追憶
98

A more melodeath version of Imperial Circus Dead Decadence with 2 hours worth of technical soloing nonsense I love it so much

Mortuorum - Blackest Visions
40

An hour and twenty-five minutes of scuffed black metal that sounds better playing off of an iPhone speaker then an actual speaker or earbuds.

Gridlink - Coronet Juniper
90

This kicks so much ass

Thirty Seconds to Mars - It's the End of the World But It's a Beautiful Day
15

I’m glad 30 Seconds To Mars has made an album that will exclusively be played at either a JC Penny or a Macys

Dream - to whoever wants to hear
1

I’m sure Dream has some trauma, but maybe write a book instead of trying to be deep over the beats that AJR said no to?

Lost Harvest - Deluded Seas of Diverge
62

The music is decent but it’s way too damn long

Russ - SANTIAGO
53

Uninteresting but absolutely could be worse

Sigur Rós - ÁTTA
92

I forgot how much I love Sigur Ros

Hail the Sun - Divine Inner Tension
93

Pierce The Veil but better instrumentals

"@Toxxicat I generally check out any metal album that gets a lot of positive ratings on here. I’m morbidly curious as to what albums people like on here. I’d rather go into an album with an open mind and not like it than avoid an album because the genre tags aren’t ideal and miss a great album. I mean, I’ve never heard an album from Igorr, I had 0 idea of what to expect, so it’s not like I obviously had an agenda to lower the user score. I also don’t really care about making the user score hit a certain score? If I rated every piece of music I listened to along the lines of what AOTY users rated it, what would be the point of that? And, it’s not an undeserved rating since I genuinely believe and stand by my criticisms of the album."
On Igorrr - AMEN
"@Toxxicat I personally agree that it’s not exactly similar sonically, it’s more that for both Mirar and this album I find the riffs to be similarly uninteresting. I also just generally don’t like electronics in metal, unless the band can combine the sounds together well. I honestly would just rather take the electronic bits out and give me a riff or a hook"
