Camo & Krooked - Above & Beyond
60

Yet another liquid dnb album that plays it a bit too safe.

Zeb - The End of The Beginnings
90

A very good mix of dub and downtempo. A bit repetitive, sure, but it was entertaining enough for me to listen through the whole (70 min) album. This is some criminally underrated shit; so underrated, in fact, that this release wasn't even on this website until I added it. YouTube Music recommendations have rarely truly disappointed me, and I'm pleased to say that this is yet another W.

Got weaker in the second half, but still pretty solid fr*nch propaganda.

Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
95

A 2000 album with a 17 minute track at the end that isn't just two tracks with silence inbetween? What a treat!

Thanks @YungAbes for the recommendation!

Total Science - Advance

Well that was disappointing. Not sure why it's classified as an EP here, but I would honestly prefer if this was an actual EP with only Champion Sound, Smashed, Sundryed and Jinx present. Other tracks are just generic, having similar sounding beats and zero chord progressions.

Black Eyed Peas - The Beginning
40

The album cover almost made me believe this album has personality... Nope, it's generic ass shit, though with some (albeit missed) potential. The more experimental sounds and song structures are ruined by overproduced beats and lyrics so shallow and meaningless they make the lyrics of "Let's Get Retarded" look competent (same band, by the way). Some songs are pretty drawn-out too, with tracks like Don't Stop the Party becoming boring by the 3 minute mark when you ... read more

!!! - Myth Takes
90

Flows nicely and mixes genres well. Pretty underrated band, though it's partly their fault because of the name (I mean, you can't even search them on this site).

Vibe Tribe - Melodrama
85

A bit generic in some places, but still hits hard. To be frank, I don't think there is a single bad psytrance album, since the genre-defining sound has been polished to mere perfection. I'd like to be proven wrong, though, so feel free to reply with anti-recommendations.

Nyu. - Flux
90

Gives me Polyphia vibes, but without the trap beats. Very melodic with good rhythm. The unusual time signatures make the music unpredictable and exciting. Though the Zelda samples on Stormy were a little out of place.

Big Thief - Double Infinity
90

Cover art (and name to some extent) looks like a 90s D&B album, kinda makes me wish this site didn't display album genres by default so I'd be flabbergasted upon starting to listen.

Too experimental for my liking; ambient parts, in my opinion, don't contribute much to the album. The horse cock doesn't help.

Black Sun Empire - Cruel & Unusual
100

Not the most ground breaking D&B album, but it's so consistently great that I can't give it a lower score. Headbanged for the entire 3 hour runtime. No dull moments! Impressive for an album that's longer than some artists' entire discographies.

The Breeders - Last Splash
75

Fairly good record. There's a lot of stuff that I didn't care that much about, but overall it was a good listen. What really caught me offguard is the fact that The Prodigy sampled this album. Twice. What a weird feeling, hearing the original snippets after the sample.

Dinosaur Jr. - Bug
85

Nice quality, shitlord.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into
95

Abrasive but melodic in the best way possible, especially the non-single tracks. Reminds me of Justice's Cross.

Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica
95

wow i don't hate ambient anymore

Lit - A Place in the Sun
80

You guys hate this unironically?

Overseer - Wreckage
90

Omega underrated. YouTube Music recommended me this after I relistened to The Fat of the Land, and, damn, this goes super hard. I see so many influences from The Prodigy, Massive Attack and others that keep the album interesting across its 76 minute length. Well, almost. The last track ends at ~6 minutes, then it repeats the phone call noise until the end; no hidden tracks. Still, the album is very enjoyable. Makes me wish for a big beat revival.
