Few debut albums have had the impact and influence on rock-n-roll and music in general like this one. A masterpiece in nu-metal.

Although the penultimate release, Abbey Road was truly the final time John, Paul, George, and Ringo along with famed producer George Martin were together in a studio. And for them to produce what has become arguably one of the greatest album of all time, is nothing short of a miracle. From their best written songs to their most energetic and skillful instrumentations (The End's drum break!), Abbey Road is the BEST Beatles album.

A solid follow-up to 2020's The Death of Me. The band experiments more with dynamics and atmospheric layers to provide a consistent track-by-track flow. They also succeeded in writing their best song to date in "Dissipate".

FAV TRACKS: Nightmare, Inhumane, The Crossfire, Dissipate, Aftertouch

2020 Metalcore AOTY IMO

No sophomore slump to be found here. TBS improves in major way from a song-writing standpoint while keeping the same feverish energy from their debut album. A true early-emo cult classic

Paraphrasing Hayley's famous line shouted live: "This. Is. Paramore." Hayley Williams and Taylor York churn out Paramore's best and most expansive album yet. It's their heaviest, catchiest, most vulnerable and most in love. Sans the Farro brothers for the first time, Hayley's voice shines as no surprise, while Taylor brings the same ferocity and energy on the guitar from the stage to the studio. And the unsung hero has to be the hiring of long-time Nine Inch Nails ... read more

Paramore somehow follows up their massively successful album Riot! with an absolutely stunning record. Hayley and Josh's writing is on display more than ever. Each song explores the bands dynamics more than ever and it hits nearly every time, every song.

MCR cements their legacy. Albeit born from the Emo era of the mid-aughts, this will go down as one of the greatest Rock albums ever.

Sporting some of MCR's biggest hits, TCSR remains one of the most solid sophomore releases from an upcoming band.

Most energetic FF album since 2011s Wasting Light. Leanest since 1995s self-titled.

Kanye's best work in 7+ years, though the bar is pretty low. Most of the album feels 70% there, without the normal production sheen fans have come accustomed to.

Kanye West returns to his roots and his sweet spot after departing his signature sound on 808s & Heartbreak. Ye shines on nearly every track and then blows you away with “Runaway”, cementing quite the legacy.
