Immolation - Descent
73

Really amazing bookends, the rest is just good

Clarion - Blue Fairy
68

Strange production choices hold this back. They do an awesome live show, though.

Sunn O))) - sunn O)))
79

Maybe the best use of silence in metal. Absolutely deafening.

Megadeth - Megadeth
45

Turn it off after the first track, it's clickbait.

By Storm - My Ghosts Go Ghost
86

Experimental Hip Hop New Order release their much anticipated debut lp, and they keep up the quality set by Double Trio in 2023

Red Vox - Retcon
57

Vinny's worst vocals and extremely bass heavy mix. I like the guitar riffs and solos on most of this. Hard to get excited when there are a million singles here.

Nourishment - Nourishment
63

Coldwave with harsh vocals and tremolo picking (sometimes), not quite the black metal I was expecting.

Exxรปl - Sealed into None
74

Awesome tone with incredibly muddy production. Not saying that being as clean as possible would be better, just tone down the low end so we can take in everything about this. Other thank that one complaint, this is an exhilarating listen.

Built to Spill - Perfect from Now On
94

May be the most consistent album of all time. Every track is fantastic and there is very little wasted time at all.

Built to Spill - Keep It Like a Secret
89

It's clear just how influential this has been in the past 27 years by listening to it.

I Promised the World - I Promised the World
62

All the ingredients are there, but produced and compressed into a form that actively holds this back.

A$AP Rocky - Don't Be Dumb
59

Doesn't do enough to justify the length. A couple of really great tracks surround by a bunch of mediocre ones. Unique production can only get you so far without interesting ideas.

Skrillex - Kora
58

Skrillex is so funny. One moment he drops peak, and the next is whatever's going on here. Respect for experimenting tho.

The Ruins of Beverast - Tempelschlaf
50

The production kind of blends this into unappetizing mush.

Rwhmn - rwhmn
56

First track is "we have Alberto Basalm at home", the rest is a little more unique. They were able to do a lot with these terrible sounding synths. A taste of many breakbeat and idm genres, I think there's at least something for everyone to take away from here.

The Lampreys - Sacrifice for Film
65

Glad I discover this after the master was finished, like night and day going back to the old sound.

Foxtrot Forest - 003 - “Lonely Craft, Guided Only By Stars”
80

Much more cohesively put together than 002. Reminds me of Earthbound a little bit, with the laid-back midi bass and psychedelic soundscapes.

Foxtrot Forest - 002 - We Envy The Dead and Get Drunk
60

Another Bull of Heaven inspired project, this one also pulling from Krautrock and Jam Bands to start out. Wonderful compositions, but held back by some strange production choices. Switch up the soundfont on the drums to something that sounds closer to Joy Division, then we're cooking.

Shea - Eskipade
65

Truly a January 1 shoegaze album when you can hear mouse clicks at the end of the stems

Paleface Swiss - The wilted EP
32

More funny bad than boring bad
