Deftones - Around the Fur
85

Great time, although I was miffed at the promise of "MX" promised. I wanted a 30 minute alt-metal suite. It's still fine, though. It doesn't ruin the album for me, which is still great.

Favorite song is "My Own Summer (Shove It)"
Least favorite song is "MX"

Atreyu - The End Is Not The End
69

I have not heard a lot of Atreyu's previous stuff, and as it stands now, this is one of their more okay albums. If you were a fan before, you'll enjoy it. If you weren't a fan already, I don't see this converting you.

Favorite song is "Ego Death"
Least favorite song is "All For You"

Motörhead - The Manticore Tapes
70

It was nice hearing Lemmy's voice and guitar-playing again.

Neil Cicierega - Mouth Moods
87

Absolutely memetic genius.

Favorite song is "Annoyed Grunt"
Least favorite song is "Stand by Meme"

Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters
79

Despite it's very poor mixing, their debut album is a lot of fun and laid the foundation for what would become their more beloved tracks.

Favorite song is "This Is A Call"
Least favorite song is "Weenie Beenie"

Foo Fighters - Your Favorite Toy
53

Well, this might be my biggest disappointment of the year so far. I really liked Foo Fighters growing up. I can recite all of "Everlong" and "Walk" in my sleep. But they just sound like they've got nothing left in the tank. And they may not have been lyrical miracles or anything, but these lines are truly half-assed.

I'm gonna say it. This is their worst album so far.

Favorite song is "Asking for a Friend"
Least favorite song is either the title track ... read more

Neil Cicierega - Mouth Silence
80

I don't know what's wrong with Neil, but I personally hope that he never fixes it.

Favorite song is "Love Psych"
Least favorite song is "Orgonon Gurlz"

Neil Cicierega - Mouth Sounds
79

I feel like I appreciate Full House so much more after this.

Favorite song is "D'oh"
Least favorite song is "Imma Let It Be"

Jack Harlow - Monica
41

Yep, another "in one ear, out the other" album. Some of the most nothing R&B I've ever heard.

Favorite song is "All of My Friends"
Least favorite song is... honestly, the rest of them.

Goldfinger - Nine Lives
67

They are firmly stuck in the punk rock and skater punk sounds of the late '90s and early 2000s, but if you're a fan of that noise, you'll enjoy this.

Favorite song is "COLLEGE"
Least favorite song is "JOHN LENNON" (idk what that was all about)

Charlie Puth - CHARLIE
56

All of the songs were very incel-coded in a way that makes it hard to appreciate the legitimately pretty decent production.

This was frustrating. I want to like him, but everything he does makes that really hard. My exposure to him was when he did a duet with Meghan Trainor called "Marvin Gaye" and it left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Favorite song is "Light Switch"
Least favorite song is "Marks on My Neck"

Slayer - God Hates Us All
76

As your resident thrash metal enjoyer, I should let you know that, while this doesn't rip nearly as much as their earlier stuff (check out "Reign in Blood" if you want to hear the best of the genre), this is still a very enjoyable time. Shame about that release date, though.

Favorite song is "Bloodline"
Least favorite song is "Deviance"

ZAYN - KONNAKOL
69

Might be a controversial opinion, but I liked this more than Harry Styles's album from this year. It's more interesting to me lyrically and musically.

There's a moment on this album where Zayn says "And I've been doing just fine" in the exact same cadence as The Killers, and for a second, I thought he was about to jump into a cover of "Mr. Brightside". This did not happen.

Favorite song is "5th Element"
Least favorite song is "Fatal"

Florence + the Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
88

I had heard some of Florence's songs that came out before this album and thought they were fine, but this was the first album of hers where I was fully on board.

Favorite song is "Queen of Peace"
Least favorite song is "Caught"

James Brown - James Brown at the Organ: Handful of Soul
67

Do you like jazz? Then you won't dislike this. If you aren't already converted, then I can see you rejecting this outright.

Favorite song is "Let's Go Get Stoned"
Least favorite song is "634-5789"

Jessie Ware - Superbloom
80

Was never a big fan of disco growing up, but I liked this a lot.

Favorite song is "Ride"
Least favorite song is "Mr Valentine"

The Beatles - Let It Be
81

Feels less like a final chapter and more like an epilogue. Is it necessary? Probably not, but it's still a pretty solid way to wrap up the Beatles era of pop culture.

Favorite song is "The Long and Winding Road"
Least favorite song is "For You Blue"

The Beatles - Abbey Road
100

...do I need to say anything about this one? It's "Abbey Road". It's outstanding. The definitive final album that all other music acts should aspire to.

... wait, what do you mean, there's one more album after this?

Favorite song is either "Come Together", "Octopus's Garden", "Because", or "Carry That Weight"
Least favorite song is "Sun King" (not bad by any means)

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
70

It's part children's album and part film score. Plus, only half of it is actually by The Beatles. The other half is by the producer for the Beatles, who took care of the film score part. It's alright, but it was my least favorite of their discography.

Favorite song is "All You Need Is Love"
Least favorite song is the title track

The Beatles - The Beatles
87

As a double album, it retains the right to be just a teensy bit messy, but this one was pretty consistent the whole way through. Though I do feel that the first half is a lot stronger than the second.

Favorite song is "Helter Skelter"
Least favorite song is "Revolution 9"
