Injury Reserve - By the Time I Get to Phoenix
100
Rest in Power, Jordan Alexander Groggs.

I’m honestly at a loss for words on what I just heard.

This album feels like I’m witnessing the remaining members of Injury Reserve traverse this digitized, post-apocalyptic hellscape as they confront the harsh realities that come with Groggs’ death. The overwhelming, abstract, and nightmarishly beautiful nature of this record invokes incredibly vivid imagery that has generated very raw and visceral emotions from myself. The only ... read more

Mind-blowing that this is the same guy that wrote "she blow that dick like a cello"

Seriously, this album is filled with so many bangers it’s crazy. Akintoye brings a ton of energy and ... read more
JID - The Forever Story
88
Coming nearly four years after his last studio album release, JID’s highly anticipated follow-up album to The Never Story certainly does not disappoint.

While, for the most part, this album doesn’t have JID venturing into any particularly new territory sound-wise, every aspect that previously made the music on his last two records compelling is improved upon here. The production on this album is very layered and well-crafted, JID’s lyricism is arguably at its best, and ... read more

Hey alargame, for my upcoming 700 follower special I wanted to do a list based some research on AOTY user's most listened to albums. All you need to do is send me a link to your last.fm account. If you don't have one, no worries. If you could tell me what is (probably) your top 10 most listened to albums that would great instead. Thanks for your time in advance!

Much appreciated! All of your picks have been added to the list. All Along the Watchtower really deserves a spot of the list so hopefully it'll get those few more ratings soon :).

Hey! I made a list containing the highest user rated tracks on this site, whether they be singles or just regular tracks off an album.

If you know of any tracks rated 98 or higher with 100 people or more having rated it, then comment a recommendation. I think it would be interesting to find out which songs are the highest rated by users on this site.
