Bob Dylan - Another Side of Bob Dylan
90

Bob Dylan's "Another Side of Bob Dylan" album, released in 1964, is a stunning and introspective work that marks a turning point in his career. The album features Dylan's trademark blend of folk, blues, and rock influences, but with a new sense of emotional depth and musical sophistication.

The album's most notable tracks include "All I Really Want to Do", a catchy and upbeat song with a memorable melody, and "It Ain't Me Babe", a slow and brooding ballad with ... read more

Bob Dylan - New Morning
40

Bob Dylan's "New Morning" album, released in 1970, is a middling effort that lacks the inspiration and innovation of his best work. The album features a mix of country, rock, and folk influences, but with a lack of cohesion that makes it feel unfocused and disjointed.

The album's most notable tracks include "If Not for You", a gentle and melodic love song that has been covered by numerous artists, and "The Man in Me", a bluesy track with a catchy guitar riff. ... read more

Bob Dylan - "Love And Theft"
70

Bob Dylan's "Love and Theft" album, released in 2001, is a triumph of songwriting and musical craftsmanship. The album features Dylan's trademark blend of blues, folk, and rock influences, but with a freshness and vitality that belies his age and experience.

The album's most notable tracks include "Mississippi", a bluesy ballad with a memorable melody and evocative lyrics, and "High Water (For Charley Patton)", a rollicking rocker that pays tribute to the ... read more

Bob Dylan - Planet Waves
30

Bob Dylan's "Planet Waves" album, released in 1974, is a relatively forgettable entry in his discography. The album features a straightforward rock sound and mostly forgettable songs, with none of the lyrical depth or musical experimentation that characterized Dylan's earlier work.

The album's most notable track is "Forever Young", a sentimental ballad that has become a staple of Dylan's live performances. However, the rest of the album feels uninspired and lackluster, ... read more

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
80

Bob Dylan's "Nashville Skyline" album, released in 1969, is a departure from his previous work, both musically and lyrically. The album marks Dylan's foray into country music, and he demonstrates a remarkable ability to adapt to the genre. The album features a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, with Dylan's voice sounding warmer and more melodious than on previous albums.

The opening track, "Girl from the North Country", is a re-recording of a song from Dylan's earlier ... read more

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - "Luciferian Towers"
NR

It was here that GY!BE reaches a moment where they begin wondering whether or not their music has any meaning, purpose, or value.

Tame Impala - Currents
82

This album is amazing, like the other two. I don't care what anyone else says... "over simplified pop *** *** ***"... it's called "change of pace"... think of it as an "edition" to what will be a great discography. You may not like that they are taking a pop route or these songs "might not do it for you", but that's the thing... it does it for others and you won't be able to be satisfied 100 percent of the time...

The Chainsmokers - Closer
25

I'm so confused as to why "Closer" became a hit? Nothing against Halsey, she's a talented artist but I felt like lyric-wise and production-wise, this song could've been better. The song sounds the same as most of the other songs on the album. Honestly, was thinking about giving this review a ten. I hope Chainsmokers work harder next time.

Fugazi - End Hits
85

Fugazi makes consistently good music and keeps it real always, I assume Five Corporations refers to the five majors who monopolize this industry of music. The first track reminds me of Repeater, which I still think is their best album all around. Place Position is great. Overall a lot of great Fugazi music on here. Often imitates, never duplicated.

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
94

Welcome All... to Sky Valley. This one will take you down and spin your head around. The ultimate statement by the band that didn't give a fuck about radio play. Upon its release, this album only had four tracks, 1. Gardena and Asteroid and Supa Scoopa. 2. 100 Degrees and Space and Cadet and Demon Cleaner. 3. Odyssey and Conan and N.O. and Whitewater. and 4. Lick Doo. When I first heard it I likened it to Pink Floyd's Animals with the depth of the tracks.

Foals - Holy Fire
80

I have to say I started listening to Foals since Antidote and I loved Total Life Forever, but Holy Fire was a hit or miss for me. I seemed to have had mixed feelings about it, however in my opinion this is Foals third best album to me. I just wanted more from them that's all. My favorite tracks were Stepson and Moon.

Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
100

The work of the Bush era, the Reagan era, the early '70's, and the PC movement. Ms. Chapman was living in Cambridge, MA and singing on the streets. She came out with a beautiful, touching album that moved people. She is a classic singer/songwriter, and her songs couldn't be more personal.

Patti Smith - Horses
100

Patti Smith is one of the greatest (if not the GREATEST) rock stars ever. The fusing of punk and poetry on this record is excellent. Put on "Gloria", and prepare to have your mind blown wide open.

The Smiths - The Smiths
89

I have been and always will be a devout follower of the pope of Mope, it's hard to find anything the Smiths have done that isn't tragically beautiful.

Weezer - Pinkerton
79

I've been a fan of Weezer for a while now, and even after listening to all of their albums, this is the one I keep coming back to. It's not as poppy or as happy as the Blue Album, Green Album, or Red Album, but it's grungy characteristics are what define it. It really is in a class all of its own.

Slint - Spiderland
100

This defined who I am today. This album made me cry. This album made me smile. This album is simply a masterpiece. Still remains one of my absolute favorite albums of all time (if not my favorite of all time).

Pink Floyd - Animals
75

I really like Animals, though I don't love it as much as the two albums that surround it. The music isn't as deep and complex as some of their other albums and it may be the only Pink Floyd album that I don't think has aged well. All that being said, I like every song on it. It is the most guitar dominated album these guys have done and it really rocks out in places.

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
100

Literally like a movie in your mind. Tom Waits has a voice like no other you've heard: impossibly deep, cigarette raspy, downright scary. Combine that with his visual, poetic lyrics and eccentric music, and the combination can be startling. It all comes together on "Rain Dogs" where you'll feel like you've been transported to a dirty town.

Radiohead - Creep
97

Incredible.
