A titanic step forward for Tyler artistically and commercially. He adapts so well to the sunnier and pop-oriented sound so well. Anyone looking to get into Tyler's music should really just start here and move forward from there

The fact that a bunch of Leftovers are better than a lot of artists best stuff says a LOT

No, I have not read the accompanying screenplay for 'Because the Internet'. Would that give me a deeper appreciation for it? maybe. In my opinion I don't think an album should NEED you to read a screenplay along with the music for it to be good

I was a little surprised that I ended just sliiiiiightly more than Nevermind. I think that due to that album's titanic status, the songs are played quite a bit more often, resulting in some fatigue.

Nirvana continues their Grunge power-bulldoze through the early 90's, in some ways being more and more provocative as they go

I don't think this should even be included in discussions of Kendrick's album discography, because this really just isn't comparable. It's a young Kendrick, not fully locked in to his sound, direction, or "purpose" as a musical artist. There's songs on here like 'Michael Jordan,' which might be one of the worst rap songs I've ever heard, but there's also some real hidden gems like Barbed Wire: A song I actually love a lot

I think THIS is the album. This album single-handedly corrupted and altered my music taste down a rabbit hole I will never claw myself out from. I've listened to a lot of things since 'The Money Store,' but few have captured the raw, unrelenting and animalistic industrial force that Death Grips blasted into my mind

Indigo De Souza may not be pushing the envelope in the bedroom pop genre, BUT she sealing the envelope with a love letter to it, licking it, and closing it with a cute little stamp :)

Her vocal and lyrical content make up for a lack of ingenuity in my opinion, creating a very pleasant half-hour listening experience

A super different direction for Kanye as an artist, and honestly music at the time in general. I do think that Graduation is slightly overrated broadly amongst Kanye's other stuff, but it's hard to deny how insanely prevalent and pervasive the album was culturally. I've been told that it's one of those "you had to be there" moments to fully grasp how HUGE this album was, but even as a young kid when this came out, I remember the absolutely monstrous staying power that SO many of the ... read more

Big step up from Saturation I in almost every way for me. The songs are way catchier and full of energy, the group synergizes a lot better, and it all definitely showed for me

Super atmospheric, that I think only scratches the potential of what can be done with this sound

Edit: 76-->68

After giving it another listen, whereas I expected to like it more, I sort of....... honk shoooo honk shoooo honk mimimimi honk mimimimi zzzzzzzzzzz

Another edit: 68--->74

Okay MAYBE I was just in a bad mood when I relistened??? I do think that the album as a whole wears itself slightly thin, but there's some truly good stuff on here

When it comes to the overall set of songs, I don't always think of the tracks as being as "iconic" until I actually look at them again. There's so many classics on this album; ones that almost get enveloped by the inflated tracklist courtesy of the unnecessarily plentiful skits

Fills a very similar sort of post-ironic political punk space as someone like Viagra Boys (Who I really like). It combines some witty lyricism with a tightly written and performed rock aspect.

The band actually comprises two women as well, which is two more women than will probably ever listen to Viagra Boys

Definitely putting the "Prog" part of Prog Rock on full display. It's pretty crazy to think this came out in the 60's, and doesn't show any signs of age or wear. It isn't among my all time favourites, but it's an unfathomably influential piece of music

An album that makes me want to add every single song from it to my playlist. It does so many things with genre, sound, and technique, and executes them all so well

I will never pretend to understand Math Rock

Has a really transformative quality to it that induces a real feeling of calm. I loved the range of vocals from the unnamed features as garnishing on top of some really nice and smooth alternative sounds

The kind of music I could hear from a countless amount of other artists, but some fun songs nonetheless

Honestly? Not bad at all. He MIGHT have that white boy swagger.

I think everything about 'Jackman.' is good on the surface level, and that's about it. His rapping is decent. He's rapping from the heart, and the lyrics are functional enough even if they aren't super complex. Production is a similar story. Each song follows a very similar formula: 1) take soul song 2) sample section of it 3) add drums on top. It sounds nice enough, without being super inventive or interesting

The sounds do, in fact, be soft

By far Earl's most engaging set of songs. Concept wise, it isn't as focused in my initial reading of it, but that gives Earl much more room to experiment
