It's really good pop punk, don't get me wrong, but this album made me realize that I really don't care for pop punk.
I really wasn't expecting to like this that much, but the dreamy atmosphere does wonders.
Honk shoo. No exceptions and Jigsaw puzzle are pretty good though. Worst stones album I've heard, it was a drag to get through.

I don't think a single person in this world dislikes Wouldn't It Be Nice.
Breathtaking harmonies layered upon unorthodox pop structures and wonderful instrumentation? Uhm, yata yata, yeah, this is really good. Even as an incomplete album, SMiLE is one of the better ones I've ever heard.
The bonus material is also neat.

After trying so many times, I just don't think Blues Rock hits very often for me.

I was expecting something absolutely crazy and divisive but I didn't get that. Unfortunately, a handful of these tracks feel standard, boringly so. Those that aren't are quite good, such as the opening track, but otherwise, nah.
Great cover btw.

Exceptional Jazz Rap with some incredible lines. This is a very difficult album to complain about-- unless you don't care for the more experimental tracks, then that's understandable.
Favorites: Sun, I rise, Run run run, Live! From the Kitchen Table, Dedicated to Tar Feather

These songs are laced with a pure and indescribable beauty that translates even through the language barrier. What a phenomenal piece of art.
Not a shabby release from these guys at all. First two tracks are especially good.
This album shows Ben Folds at a level of maturity that I'm ambivalent to. However, the songs on this album were undeniably solid. I loved the title track for one, but the emotional potency of the ballads on this album are far stronger than those of Ben Folds' previous work.
I think I'll like this album a lot more upon a future revisit.

This feels strangely new wave influenced.
A solid release but it feels brought down by the filler songs. Lost Art is one of QOTSA's best songs. Overall, just a solid project.
Favorites: Lost Art, Feel Good Hit, Auto Pilot

Don't know how I got here... pretty enjoyable EP though. Actually, it's really good. Reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins but kicks up the shoegaze factor up a notch. I think this band can really blow up if they get lucky.
Edit: I am not kidding when I say Hello, my Dark is one of the best songs I have heard in a long ass time. Absolutely go listen to that.
Favorites: Ferdinand Hodler (Genuinely amazing song), Hello my Dark Black Cats

It really is just shoegaze and black metal. Demonic screeching but I can't hear it over all the instrumentals. The sound texture of this album is so rich and unique I only imagine myself returning for more. It's great.

Just look at photos of any of the band members they look constantly stoned. It shows in the music.

Very awesome psychy thrash and stoner metal. I didn't like the thrashy song all that much aside from Planet B, but the rest is pretty damn good. First 2 and last 2 songs were definitely the best, very electrifying music.
Also, even though I've only heard one Slayer album, I can tell that Gizz here takes from that brand of Thrash. Somehow, it works far better for them than it did for Slayer, and at least for me I believe that's because Gizzard has a more appealing vocalist.

Quite possibly the most well-meaning 74 I've ever given. Even I'm not sure exactly what that means, but the point is that I enjoyed this album a solid amount, and it had some bangers.
Boxing is an incredible closer fyi, very well written and it sounds gorgeous.

Holy shit this album is kickass. The punkish take on Nu Metal this band demonstrates here works perfectly with the groovy yet harsh melodies and the gutteral vocals. Why isn't the user score any higher? These are some of the best riffs I've ever heard!
Favorites: Joy Ride, Snot, Stoopid, Snooze Button, Tecato, Mr. Brett, Get Some Keez (no idea why this is on this album but it sounds good, so I ain't complaining).
