Swans - My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky
52

Some legitimately great moments, but is somewhat undercooked and has no replay value. Pretty much the most forgettable Swans record.

Pearl Jam - Ten
78

Consistently great and lots of fun to listen to. But it is definitely not one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.

BEST TRACKS: Once, Alive, Jeremy, Deep

WORST TRACKS: Release, Garden

Flipper - Album - Generic Flipper
61

I like it fine enough, especially the self awareness and cynicism, but this album has quite a bit of filler in the form of elongated tracks. Some of these songs are 4 to 7 minutes and get really repetitive and annoying. It's fun enough though, and I would reccomend it.

Plastic Neesound - Hollow
8

Why did I listen to this? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Muse - Simulation Theory
20

It can't be that bad right? Nvm, this is so bad it hurts. Like what happened? WHAT HAPPENED? I just thought this would be harmless fun... no. This is the worst Muse album by far. There is like one or two highlights of fun where they don't take themselves that seriously, but it's not enough, not even close to enough to save this garbage.

FAVORITE TRACKS: Pressure (I guess)

WORST TRACKS: Propaganda, Break it to Me, Get Up and Fight, Dig Down

Radiohead - OK Computer
97

This is quite the end to an era, OK Computer used to be my favorite album of all time. Not anymore. Dont get me wrong, this is still one of the best albums of all time, I've just heard better music. Still a fantastic listen with some of the best Radiohead tracks of all time.

Joanna Newsom - Ys
98

I don't know how, but Joanna Newsom made an album that sounds like childhood. Wow. But yeh, you have heard it before, this is an absolute masterpiece. Modern classic for sure.

FAVORITE TRACKS: all of em

WORST TRACKS: how dare you even consider there be a less than good track

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
79

This is just so beautiful oh my goodness. Every song is so heartfelt with simple yet effective strings and horns mixed with touching vocals. I don't really dislike anything about the album come to think of it.

EDIT: huh. Wish I came back to this thing more

FAVORITE TRACKS: The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1, The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 2, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Two Headed Boy, The Fool,, Holland 1945, Communist Daughter, Oh Comely, Untitled, Two-Headed Boy Pt. Two

WORST TRACKS: oh ... read more

The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
98

This is actually damn near flawless. But who thought that Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others would be a good track on here? While not a bad track, it's such an odd choice for this album.

Frank Iero - .Stomachaches.
48

Really generic. I feel like I've heard this exact album like twenty times before. But, it does have some decent tracks even if the end is no where near as good as the beginning.

FAVORITE TRACKS: All I Want is Nothing, Weighted, Stitches

WORST TRACKS: Where Do We Belong? Anywhere But Here, Smoke Rings, Guilttripping

Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway - Dictator
22

Nearly unlistenable. Just a bunch of demos. Lives is a banger though

Chance the Rapper - Coloring Book
66

The production is just really bad in some instances. Like wow. But, this has a lot of fun tracks, and shouldn't be missed.

FAVORITE TRACKS: Angels, No Problem, Blessings, Same Drugs

WORST TRACKS: All We Got, DRAM Sings Special

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
60

This just isn't for me. I appreciate and respect it, but I don't really like it. Closer is really good though.

Radiohead - In Rainbows
100

Such a warm, inviting, and comforting album, Radiohead's best, and the second best album ever in my opinion. In Rainbows never has a low point for me. Its so easy to listen to and I always get quite emotional. Seriously though, this album is so warm, and I pull so, so, so much enjoyment out of it.

FAVORITE TRACKS: all of em

WORST TRACKS: ha you thought

System of a Down - Toxicity
80

Possibly the greatest nu metal album of all time, and a fantastic album in general. This is by far the best SOAD album that follows a somewhat consistent theme of the Earths many issues whether it be pollution, deforestation, gun laws etc. Or that's what I get out of it. Would have been much better without ARTO though...

FAVORITE TRACKS: Aerials, Toxicity, Shimmy, Forest, Chop Suey!, Bounce, Prison Song, Needles

WORST TRACKS: ARTO

Cardiacs - Sing to God
90

This is the strangest album I have ever heard. Nothing else sounds like this so it immediately has my respect. While I don't think its absolutely perfect, as I feel as if some of the tracks sound alike at some points, its damn close. And that criticism I just gave may have to deal with me not being familiar with the sound palette is large in due to the fact that, like stated before, I have never heard anything like this so of course it may sound alike. Not to mention some of the near eargasmic ... read more

Björk - Utopia
75

Quite a few brilliant tracks, but its overblown and a bit in one ear and out the next. When the tracks are good though, they stand as some of her best, especially the first three some of the later ones.

FAVORITE TRACKS: Arisen My Senses, Blissing Me, The Gate, Loss, Tabula Rasa, Claimstalker, Saint

WORST TRACKS: Utopia, Sue Me

Björk - Vulnicura
90

While I quite like the past two Björk albums, they don't quite live up to her past work. Vulnicura, is utterly stunning and one of the best albums of 2015. If I had one small criticism, I'd say that the ending isn't as strong as the rest since Mouth Mantra and Quicksand are not some of the best Björk songs.

FAVORITE TRACKS: Stonemilker, Lion Song, History of Touches, Black Lake, Family, NotgGet,

WORST TRACKS: Mouth Mantra, Quicksong

Björk - Biophilia
80

While somewhat uneven, Biophilia is one of Björk's cohesive and ambitious records to date. I'd personally say this is around Debut level in context of her other work, the highs are about as high but the lows aren't as low. And as an album, it works so well.

FAVORITE TRACKS: Crystalline, Thunderbolt, Moon, Cosmogony, Dark Matter, Virus, Mutual Core,

WORST TRACKS: Hollow, Sacrafice

Björk - Volta
73

Easily my least favorite Björk album, but Volta is by no means bad. After Medulla, Björk really needed to switch things up on her production. Here she incorporates more horns and strings, but it doesn't meld as well with her usual electric ambient style which she tries to incorporate. Also, this is a bit bloated and her vocals and songwriting aren't her sharpest. However, there are more than a handful of decent tracks on here so, oh well.

FAVORITE TRACKS: Earth Intruders, I See Who ... read more
