Fiona Apple - When the Pawn...
100

The word "perfect" can be thrown around a lot. I believe that it is essentially impossible to make something "perfect", as it may be. Even my favorite album of all time (The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens) is not perfect.

However, if I had to describe this album in one word... I must admit that I would indeed be using the p-word. This album is perfect. In a technical sense, in a lyrical sense, in every sense of the word: perfect. It has not a single flaw. Can you believe ... read more

Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More than Ropes Will Ever Do
70

Good, but not great. It peaks pretty early on but that peak is incredibly high.

Best Track: Every Single Night

Natalia Lafourcade - De Todas las Flores
80

De Todas las Flores starts out incredibly beautiful and the first half of the album (minus track 5) is incredible. However, the album drops off quite a bit in the back half.

Best Track: Llevame Viento

My Spanish skills are at somewhere around a B1 level, but the lyrics on this album are ... read more

Gustavo Cerati - Bocanada

Really great classic rock-style album. Quite consistent front to back with some great and creative tracks on it. However, I will say that it peaks with the mindblowing first track and never really meets that incredible high again.

Best Track: Tabu

Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters
80

I like it but some of the tracks legit feel like filler.

Best Track: I Want You to Love Me
