my bloody valentine - loveless
100

A forward thinking, truly experimental LP that changed the game forever. Legendary

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
100

Pink Floyd's magnum opus. Everything good about all the other projects is thrown into the mix here, with instrumental suites and straightforward rock tunes side by side

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (Special New Edition)
100

This is easily the best version of Stop Making Sense, with a lengthy tracklist that never drops pace or becomes boring. Astonishing live arrangements (Slippery People, Life During Wartime) meet faithful versions of the original (Heaven) in perfect fashion.

Depeche Mode - Violator
100

Perfect synthpop that balances the synthheavy industrial leaning early DM with rock influences flawlessly. A well deserved classic and one of the greatest albums ever

Toploader - Magic Hotel
100

The most underrated album ever. This album is way overdue for a critical reappraisal, masterpiece

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
100

What is there to say about this album? Punchy and soft, aggressive and tender, faster but slower. The greatest rock album of all time

Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade
100

Track after track of blistering, lo-fi punk mixed with highly honest ballads - infinitely relistenable and one of the greatest albums of all time

Death - Symbolic
90

The greatest metal album of all time. The guitar work on this album is beyond anything I've ever heard, and the slick-but-raw production gives this a razor sharp edge

Steely Dan - Aja
90

A certified classic, this album is so smoothly produced that in the more loud parts everything sounds immaculate. Some of the best drumming you'll ever find features here

Nits - In the Dutch Mountains
21

This album somehow manages to be too playful to take seriously but not funny enough to make a good joke. Damn near unlistenable 80s garbage that's too dated to be bothered about. JOS Days is great though

Magdalena Bay - Mercurial World
87

Would be comfortably better than Imaginal Disk if the second half didn't drag it down

Glass Animals - How to Be a Human Being
32

Painfully colourless in all the wrong ways

Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
NR

It feels unfair to rate this album because I simply wasn't the target audience
Some beautiful passages of music but not enough for me to justify the length

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
95

The first five tracks are all solid 10/10. Besides from a few less interesting songs on the second half, this is a near perfect album. Decent to strong 9

Swans - To Be Kind
35

Screen shot is absolutely peak btw but rest of this is booooriiinnng

The Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
70

Note to self: Needs a relisten

TOOL - Undertow
75

Frontloaded (adjective)

The practice of putting the best songs at the start of your album

Big Baller B - Prison Sentence
NR

The jokes write themselves

Future Islands - In Evening Air
100

Ever since their inception, Future Islands have always been an easy shot for critics. From mixing and production to originality, there is a consensus that the band could have done something greater and made a project for the ages. However, in my eyes, the band have already done that, and its name is In Evening Air. This is my personal favourite album ever made, and in this review, I'll explain why.

I was introduced to Future Islands the same way many were, through their performance ... read more

beabadoobee - This Is How Tomorrow Moves
NR
