After pulling through a bit of a hardship in making good music, they finally came back with this spectacular album right here. It isn't the next Is This It or anything but it's unique in its own way. See, it doesn't just use their modern style, they also mix in elements from Is This It or Room on Fire to make a pretty good result in its path. It's not as raw, but has unique ideas and concepts that make it quite enjoyable. And Ode to the Mets. That's my personal second ... read more
While it not be as good as their spectacular debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, it still greatly delivers. It contains some of the heaviest, yet emotional songs in their entire discography. I mean the bridge and chorus at the end of 505 are fricking ascending. While it might not be as consistent as WPSIA,TWIN, it still feels awfully raw and adventurous.

Honestly, it's not as bad as I expected it to be. Actually, most of the instrumentals, production, and style are kind of good sometimes! Still not perfect, there are some moments that are not very good in the production, that feel overproduced or rushed. But the lyrics just take it down several tiers, because they are so corny and terrible, they don't fit anything this album has to offer. If it wasn't for the atrocious lyrics, maybe the album would've been better, like low ... read more
All Imagine Dragons Albums Ranked: Album #5- Mercury- Act 1
After trash albums Evolve and Origins, Imagine Dragons come out with a, still bad, but much better album. One thing I've noticed through rating all Imagine Dragons albums journey, all albums except for Night Visions have decent openers and just sleepwalked the ending of the albums. My Life is a pretty strong opener for Imagine Dragons, and one of their heaviest songs to date. Then by the end, you just have the 'ol classic ... read more
In The Hunting Party, Linkin Park returns with a heavier style, but instead of Hybrid Theory and Meteora nu-metal, they take on a different style: alternative metal and melodic hardcore. I picture the entire album as just Given Up mixed with elements from Living Things and ATS. And it's a good return, I really enjoy it! But, there are a couple of songs that are mediocre, making the album not so consistent. The times where they hit, though, they hit hard.

Finally, a great album after an array of shitty ones (check my account for more info). This album is a staple in the indie rock and chamber pop scene, and rightfully so. It's a beautiful, melancholic journey that feels like you're stepping into autumn (that's pretty much the perfect month to play this in imo). You go through 4 different neighborhoods, each being a different a unique song that still connects to the core of the album. The whole album is amazing, there are no skips. ... read more
All Imagine Dragons Albums Ranked: Album #4- Origins
Honestly, now we're just at the point of no return for the band. Being their worst album yet, Origins is incredibly boring, repetitive, and overproduced, there's really nothing good to point about it in specific. It's just terrible, absolutely terrible. That's about it. I don't recommend it at all.
Faves: Natural
Least Faves: Digital, Love, Stuck, Bullet In A Gun, Only, West Coast, Boomerang, Zero, Machine
Forget the rest of the album, Yummy is the greatest song ever to be created by man. The lyrics, they repeat "yummy, yummy" and "yeah, babe" over and over again, which is a clearly genius move by the writers. The trap in the back expands the sound of the album, adding an extra layering and touch to the sound and production. Plus the production is not overproduced, in fact it's the least overproduced thing ever!
Faves: None

A while ago, I rated Weezer's highest rated album, The Blue Album. That album I really enjoyed, it was genuinely an amazing album. Today, I rate Weezer's worst rated album. And guess what, it SUCKS. It mostly has to with the lyrics, all the production and instrumentals are ok. The lyrics are some of the worst shit I've ever seen. I mean, they are incredibly lazy and stupid lyrics. They tried to be funny but they did not deliverer. The only song I would recommend is the first ... read more
All Imagine Dragons Albums Ranked: Album #3- Evolve
Imagine Dragons has always been known by me to make generic and overproduced music. They've had some good songs throughout Night Visions and Smoke + Mirrors. I've never really enjoyed much of their music. Now, people call this a 36/100 user score, and I think oh it can't be that bad right? WRONG! This album had a good potential, but terrible execution. This is by far their most repetitive, overproduced slop they've ever ... read more
This is one of those albums that's over hated and overrated at the same time.

Minutes to Midnight: a kind of wild album. It's not just a metal and pop rock album, it has art rock, chamber pop, rap rock, and more. It's unique, experimental, it can be heavy and not heavy at the same time. And of course Given Up features the iconic 17 second scream. I really quite enjoy it. Not the greatest album ever, but still amazing imo.

All Imagine Dragons Albums Ranked: Album #2- Smoke + Mirrors
A 57 user score is a bit much, don't you think. I mean the album is definitely not a spectacle of modern music, it has a lot of flaws. The production sucks on most songs, the lyrics are repetitive, and just like Night Visions, it's just generic music. But, it improves on some of Night Visions issues. It has its own distinct style this time, plus the lyrics are slightly better. It all follows one coherent message though, I ... read more
A fun, playful indie rock journey, yet it's an emotional roller coaster at the same time. The production is crazy and you never know where it'll go next. Insane album. Highly recommend.

All Imagine Dragons Albums Ranked: Album #1- Night Visions
Ok, so I'm now ranking and reviewing all 7 of the popular pop "rock" band, Imagine Dragons. Enjoy!
Back when I was a young child, I really liked Imagine Dragons. In fact, they were my favorite band OAT for a long while. I loved Evolve and Origins (somehow). In fact, and I'm very unproud to say this, they were my first concert ever. Sad, I know. Me, an innocent young child, unaware of pure overproduced and generic ... read more
So this is my 100th review, huh. This is really crazy to say, but we did it guys! Let's get to 200 reviews next. Now my review:
Nothing, and I mean nothing, in this entire album hails in comparison to Take Me Out. Take Me Out is one of the greatest songs ever created, the instrumental bridge between the intro and the first verse is absolutely peak post-punk. The whole is album is great as well, but Take Me Out is just the best on the album BY FAR.

So, I'm not done reviewing for today, I've got to get to 100 reviews. So now, I'm reviewing the second must listen Interpol album. First of all, WTF ARE THERE SO MANY ANTICS?!! I MEAN I WENT CRAZY LISTENING TO THIS RECORD!! I MEAN LIKE IT SURE HAS A LOTTA ANTICS!! Ok, ok, cringe jokes aside, I fondly enjoyed this album too. Turn on the Bright Lights is one of my favorite albums of all time, as y'all know, so I could hardly compare this album to the pure genius the band had ... read more
Last in the Nirvana trilogy, In Utero. This album's production is even better than both of the band's first two albums in my opinion, it's raw like Bleach, and aggressive like Nevermind, in which it combines those elements to make this banger of an album right here. The song writing even steps up a bit, being more unique and little less repetitive than Nevermind or Bleach (mostly Bleach). But, you might be wondering, "Well, Biscool, why are you not giving In Utero a 100, and ... read more
Next up in the Nirvana trilogy, Nevermind. This has to be one of the most consistent records ever recorded, there are no skips whatsoever. It's also pretty gritty and rebellious like Bleach, and it's quite fast-paced but yet takes things slow at the same time, I don't know how that's possible, but it is. And of course the guitar riffs make this album even more iconic. Sometimes, it's hard to really make up the messages of Kurt's singing, but by just listening to ... read more
