A nice step-up from the first one.
While not being that ground-breaking, this album manages to be solid. The bigger problem with this record is when it tries to be too grand with its sound, which doesnt work at times.
The instrumentals are nice, but not incredible. The guitars are sometimes too loud, but when they work, theyre great. The vocals are also better than on the debut.
Best track: Ogre Battle
Worst track: The Loser In The End
Absolutely incredible.
Paranoid is of course the magnum opus of Black Sabbath. I adore the iconic track, and even the ones i never heard before. I didnt expect to have a more "low key" sound on a track like Planet Caravan.
The instrumentals are amazing, the guitars and the drums blend in so well. Honestly expected this to be louder, but im glad it isnt that loud. The vocals also have an incredible touch to them.
Best track: either Iron Man, War Pigs or Planet Caravan

(Re-reviewing this record because i was too lazy today)
This is Tyler's magnum opus. Like, almost everything works about this album. Sure, there are like 2 songs that i skip (not saying that theyre bad) , but i appreciate them because the add to the whole story.
The production is really unique, it has kind of a psychedelic and static-y feel to some of the songs. I love the more high pitched moments on the album, they really add to the charm.
Best track: either I Think, New Magic Wand or Gone ... read more
This will not be a review, this is just a way for me to say:
Fuck real Kanye dickriders, also fuck those who say that youre "brainwashed" or a "dickrider" if you enjoy Vultures. If you dont want to listen because of Kanye, thats completely fine. If you dont like, hell, even hate the record, thats completely fine.
Just dont preach to me how you cant enjoy this album even a little bit. Im not that insane to excuse Kanye's actions.
Same with Fantano. Just because there are ... read more
The second album of Riblja Čorba is of really similar quality to the first one. I really like the more sombre tracks on the album, and not those that are more "in your face".
The instrumentals are good, similar to the previous album once again. Bora Čorba's vocals are actually more diverse this time, especially on "Nemoj Srećo, Nemoj Danas"
Best track: Nemoj Srećo, Nemoj Danas
Worst track: Hajde Sestro Slatka
Thank God it was not bad.
Kanye and Ty Dolla Sign record actually dropped. I think that it was a terrible choice to put Vultures as the first single, because tons of people automatically wrote it off, and they still do. Theres no way that i will defend the shit that Kanye said, but i also dont want people to look at me like a Ye dick-rider or a bot boosting the score up. I
Anyways, onto the actual review. Really didnt expect this to be solid, because before this came Donda 2, with a TON of ... read more
Real classic.
Tupac's first "more popular" album. I really love the emotional parts of this album, they clearly show Tupac's state of mind at the time. Each track sounds like a different feeling, from a track about loving his mother, to paranoia of getting killed.
The production is really low-key, it just has something that really clicks. Maybe it gets a little stale at the second half, but i mostly enjoy it. Tupac is also a really good storyteller.
Best track: either Dear Mama or ... read more
First time listening to a full Riblja Čorba album. This one is fine, has some great moments in the beginning, but it kinda drags on until the last track, which is actually good.
The instrumentals are nice, the guitars sound really powerful on tracks like "Ostani đubre do kraja". The vocalist Bora Čorba is alright, he does have some good delivery, but its mostly fine.
Best track: either Ostani đubre do kraja or Rasprodaja bola
Worst track: maybe Još jedan šugav dan
Okay, kinda suprised that this came out good. I do prefer the first half, but the entire song is really nice. I just hope that something comes out of the album (if it even comes out)
This album is genuinely really great!
I think a lot of people can easily call this record "corny", but i dont give a shit, i really like it. The only major problem i have is the track "Sedamnaest ti je godina", the only bad song on the album.
The instrumentals are really simple, yet affective, like most of Hari Mata Hari tracks. I really love the soft flutes on "Hej, Kako Si" and the guitars on "Igrale Se Delije". The vocals are also really great.

(Re-reviewing my older reviews because i got lazy today)
Late Registration honestly never hit as hard as The College Dropout. Sure, it has bangers like Roses and Gold Digger, but it also has (to me) some of his most forgettable ones like Late, Gone, Celebration and (please dont kill me) We Major.
The production is nice, but it feels too simple at some moments, even empty at times. But, at their best, they are incredible. Kanye's rapping is honestly a slight downgrade on some songs, key word ... read more
Solid enough.
Queen's debut is alright, really inoffensive, and kinda boring at times. Has some nice moments, but it does get tedious in the second half of the record.
The instrumentals are fine, nothing much. The guitars are solid. Freddie's voice can be good at times, but its not up par with his other performances. Also, the mixing can sound a bit off at times, but its not that bad.
Best track: Keep Yourself Alive
Worst track: Son and Daughter
Gave this album another listen and it really grew on me
Idoli's most praised record. In the past, i gave this album like a 76, mostly because of the vocals and random sounds. Now, after returning to it, i like it more. Its not to say its perfect (far from it) but it still has its charm.
The instrumentals are really unique compared to other ex-Yu releases at the time. We got train sounds mixed with electric sounds, and i kinda like them compared to before. The vocals still sound a bit off and ... read more
This is some great hardcore hip hop.
Bottomless Pit feels a lot like The Powers That B, but it still has something unique to it. These last two records really grabbed more of my attention that the first three.
The production, yet again, uses these increidble guitars and loud bass, which work wonderfully. Some tracks feel a bit stale without them tho. MC Ride screams his lungs out, no need for more.
Best track: either Bottomless Pit or Giving Bad People Good Ideas
Worst track: Eh
Well, nothing really changed.
Returning to Plavi Orkestar, this record feels really safe, just like their previous album. It is consistent, but that consistency of "solid" songs get kinda tiring. It has some outliers like the first track.
The instrumentals are alright, they feel like every other Plavi Orkestar album. Same goes for the vocals. I wish that they went for a different sound, but i guess its still alright.
Best track: Ako Su To Samo Bile Laži
Worst track: Pita
Im divided on this one a bit.
This record has really great tracks from Zdravko Čolić, but also some really boring songs. Thats what mostly bothers me about his albums, they have a few hits and rest are either passable or mediocre.
The instrumentals on this ons try to incorporate a disco and funk sound to Zdravko's music, and its works sometimes, but i much prefer the production on the previous album. The vocals are almost always a treat from Zdravko.
Best track: either Pisaću Joj Pisma ... read more
Yeah, they REALLY went out on this one.
The newest record from The Smile is much better than their debut. The first album had good moments, but there was just something that was missing. This album however proved me that they evolved.
The production is gorgeous, and i really love the "ambient rock" feel of the record. Thoms vocals are also more interesting this time, they really compliment with the sound of the album.
Best track: either Read The Room or Bending Hectic
Worst track: ... read more
Another incredible one.
The final album of Nirvana is just as great as Nevermind. It honestly has more emotion than the previous record, but i do prefer the sound on Nevermind more. The track "Scentless Apprentice" almost deafened me.
The instrumentals are really grungy and noisy, and the noisiness is probably the weakest part of the record. The vocals and the lyrics really are interesting to follow along to.
Best track: either All Apologies or Serve The Servants
Worst track: ... read more
This album is really hard to rate.
I would say that this is Dino's most experimental album, and i can at least say that it has unique moments. I hate how the record has really incredible moments like the outro track "Na Vi", and some really lame ones like "Sarajevo".
The instrumentals range from beautiful to straight up messy at times. I still like the sound hes trying to approach on this one, like the track "Majka Ruži Kćer", which is honestly his most unique ... read more
(Re-reviewing my older review cause i got lazy today)
Kanye's debut album, which will forever be iconic. Although i do prefer his more "experimental" sounds, i still really love the way he changed the rap game.
The production at its best is so incredible, but it does have its weaker moments. Kanye's rapping is probably his best on this album, but its honestly hard to compare.
Best track: either All Falls Down or Slow Jamz
Worst track: Breathe In, Breathe Out
