Electric Wizard - We Live
60

Saturns children is The Wizards most impressive song by a long shot, not many songs make 15 minutes go by like that. The rest of this album is them at their most generic and forgettable.

Lifelover - Erotik
100

Fucking incredible incapsulates the cover perfectly and the cover is what I want to look like so it’s the best thing ever made.

100

Ima black metal glazer this is perf

LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
88

Hipster as fuck and bouncy as shit. The repeated vocal lines on the tracks are charming. More inviting, less enigmatic.

LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
90

Least bloated and most moving. Great entrancing dance music is the name of the game with this.

Swans - To Be Kind
50

cant bring myself to enjoy a majority of this ones sound.

Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
80

simply calming in the most unnerving way

Swans - The Seer
75

uncompromising in its attempt to match a sound with the words neurotic and croak

Swans - Filth
100

Nothing but gnashing instrumentals and demented lyrics delivered viciously. few records have paralleled its borderline genius minimalistic aggravation.

Melody's Echo Chamber - Bon Voyage
88

This one took me a second but I am often floored by this albums willfulness to truly shatter boundaries that could potentially restrict its totally mint and distinguishable, genre bending neo-psych ideas.
truly a vagabond in record form that is dipping its fingers equally into the realms of free form folk and psychedelic pop, that has a delightfully innovative prediction about the possibilities for the latter genres sound.

Tame Impala - The Slow Rush
70

preciously self reflective with a danceable drive it again manages to be mostly unassuming and approachable in a way that further handicaps its already mild profundity.
what you're left with is what ones expects from a band called 'Tame Impala'

I'm gonna add this just so people can frame my opinion better... Tommorows Dust is without a doubt the peak of this album and is one of the few songs by Kevin I have been even slightly moved by.

Tame Impala - Currents
70

relatively benign which is both a good and bad quality. however there are moments when experimental song writing truly allows the sound to feel nuanced and at least resemble something trying to stick its neck out there.

Melody's Echo Chamber - Melody's Echo Chamber
80

in the least offensive way this is a infinitely more charming, dreamy and vivacious version of Tame Impala's signature indie rock sound that benefits greatly from Melody Prochets vocals which are far easier to chew on, expanding its drugged cadence greatly through her light and delicate deliveries.

Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There
80

Mature and delicate, with a biting urgency. A silver lining with a shimmering sound.

88

Filthy and sick with a slow writhing initial 25 minutes or so that devolves into some of their most dangerously addictive tunes. Another essential sound for sludge metal is found on this classic record.

Eyehategod - Southern Discomfort
90

Them at their best. Just Fucking heavy with an unmistakably southern twang and chilling voice.
Epitome of sludge

85

Stylistically Incorrigible and down right wrecked this album is rolling in its own signature NOLA gloop pit of drug fueled anhedonic sludge.
Gnarly.

FKA twigs - EUSEXUA Afterglow
70

Some of this is crazy fun and super zonked. It fits its description of an embodiment of the come down from a night out well enough.
But a decent portion feels unremarkable.

FKA twigs - MAGDALENE
70

Vocally unimaginable and bursting with tremendous displays of emotion, this one just doesn’t have the sound I can loose myself too for the duration of a full length record.
But a playfully experimental and very crucial step in her portfolio just not nearly as captivating to me with its song writing for extended lengths.
