How the fuck did these guys top SATURATION only a few months after it's release??? These guys just ooze talent wtf. Still can't get over this. Insane.
The second best Radiohead album imo, and ALMOST perfect. This is simply put, the greatest rock album ever made. Its sound still holds up today 20 years later, made clear when Radiohead can release cut songs from the album 20 years later and they can be confused for new singles. My only gripe with this song is Electioneering, it just does not fit with the sound or the tone of the album, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Other than that though, stellar album.

The best storytelling on an album, period. The pictures Nas paints are so vivid that I can get a grasp on what its like to live in Queens in the early 90's, even though I live in the bush in Australia in the 2010's. The beats are perfect too, they range from hard as fuck to smooth as butter, and they bring enough without detracting from the selling point of the album: Nas himself.

My favourite Radiohead album. Even thought my first listen was about 15-16 years after the albums' release, it still sounded new and different. The amount of experimentation, especially for a band that fell into the genre of rock at the time, is astounding. Every time I listen to this album I get lost in it's worlds, lost in the mountains on the cover, which is not something I can say very often. Simply stellar.

Kendrick's best work by a mile. The story told is clear and cohesive, yet it doesn't interfere with the replay-ability of the individual tracks. Although not all the tracks are perfect, they're all at the very least, great.
BEST TRACKS: Sherane a.k.a Master Splinter's Daughter, Backseat Freestyle, The Art of Peer Pressure, Money Trees, m.A.A.d City, Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst.
WORST TRACKS: If I had to choose, Poetic Justice.
