Built to Spill - Carry The Zero
100

Absolutely incredible. My favorite indie rock song EVER.

Modest Mouse - An Eraser and A Maze
74

A step in the right direction for Modest Mouse.

I've always loved Modest Mouse's early work. The Lonesome Crowded West is an incredibly raw and insane record and it happens to be my favorite indie rock album... ever. Building Nothing Out of Something is an impressive EP that features some of their best works like Never Ending Math Equation, Broke, and Interstate 8. The Moon and Antarctica is a more dreamy, psychedelic take on the genre but still delivers that classic Modest Mouse ... read more

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
100

Once you hear it, you will not be the same person you were before. Pop perfection.

Faves: Heaven or Las Vegas, Cherry Coloured Funk, Frou-Frou-Foxes in Midsummer Flies, Iceblink Luck, Pitch the Baby, I Wear Your Ring
Least Faves: N/A

Boards of Canada - Inferno
95

Boards of Canada are so good that this album manages to be their third best album.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After 13 years, Boards of Canada have finally come back. Their mysterious and ethereal soundscapes have captivated people for years with albums such as Music Has The Right To Children and Geogaddi being considered some of the best electronic albums of all time.

For the past few months, I've ... read more

Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
96

Almost as good as Music Has the Right to Children but slightly worse solely because of the last track, Magic Window. Much darker and ominous but it's Boards of Canada, of course it's incredible. What an experience.

Faves: Music Is Math, Julie and Candy, 1969, Dawn Chorus, Alpha and Omega, Sunshine Recorder, Gyroscope
Least Faves: Magic Window

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
98

I fucking love Genesis!

Faves: Firth of Fifth, Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, The Cinema Show, The Battle of Epping Forest, I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
Least Faves: More Fool Me

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
94

A beautiful, expansive, and theatrical prog rock opera. They're completely free to expressing their ideas here. But, I think this album does drag on a little too long with takes it down a few points for me. I think they could've deleted 5 or so tracks and it still would've been a great album. But, some tracks like Carpet Crawl and In The Cage make up for it.

Faves: Carpet Crawl, In The Cage, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, it, The Lamia, Fly on a Windshield, The Colony of ... read more

Camel - Mirage
97

Underrated as fuck! Absolutely devine. This is one of the best prog albums I've ever heard. Lady Fantasy is one of the best prog tracks ever, probably top 10, and Nimrodel is really great as well. I wish more people would listen to this album.

Faves: Lady Fantasy, Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider, Freefall, Supertwister, Earthrise
Least Faves: N/A

David Bowie - "Heroes"
100

Incredible. Robert Fripp's lead guitar makes me ascend. Easily my favorite Bowie song.

Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely
100

Soul-crushlingly beautiful.

Radiohead - Creep
87

Though it's far from the band's best, it's still a pretty solid grunge track. I love the bridge.

King Crimson - Epitaph / 21st Century Schizoid Man
100

Two of the most incredible songs ever created. Unbelievable this album came out in 1969, what a piece of magic.

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-9, New Stereo Mix)
100

One of the greatest songs to ever grace my ears.

Boards of Canada - Prophecy At 1420 MHz
100

After 13 years, Boards of Canada have created music, and so far, this is shaping to be the album of the year.

Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
97

A classic electronic album with several great songs. Truly an experience.

Faves: Roygbiv, Aquarius, Turqouise Hexagon Sun, Sixyten, Rue the Whirl, An Eagle In Your Mind
Least Faves: Triangles & Rhombuses

Daft Punk - Alive 2007
100

Some of the best mashups of some of the best songs of all time. Mindblowing. Probably my favorite live album ever.

Faves: Every Track
Least Faves: None

Pink Floyd - Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII
96

A truly incredible live performance.

Faves: Echoes Part 2, Echoes Part 1, Careful With That Axe, Eugene, One of these Days, A Saucerful of Secrets
Least Faves: None

Television - Marquee Moon
98

Be fore-warned! Marquee Moon contains some of the best guitar work in punk music! Prepare yourself!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This album features some very rhythmic and catchy beats that will get stuck in your head. Some of the most anthemic choruses and guitar structures ever are on this album.

There are a lot of great tracks that I could talk about but my obvious favorite is the title track, Marquee Moon. Though ... read more

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
100

Pet Sounds is one of the most beautiful and mind bending projects I've ever heard. It doesn't sound like any other of their music except for stuff like Good Vibrations and Surf's Up. Something like this had never been heard before and was an inspiration for more masterpieces to come (Revolver, Sgt Pepper's). It's lush and layered and unlike their surf songs and tell a deep and en-powering story about love and life and death.

Every track has something to offer. God ... read more

The Strokes - Going Shopping
63

Extremely disappointed. Why must you use autotone, Julian? It worked on Human Sadness, but it doesn't work here. The instrumentation and production is good, it's just that autotone that ruins it for me.
