Best Song: Sink or Swim

interesting album from Young Fathers. except there was just nothing of substance for me on this album. liked the instrumentals and thought that they were pretty experimental, but just nothing of interest to me.

Top 3:
1. Get 'Em Out by Friday
2. Supper's Ready
3. Watcher of the Skies
Least Favorite: Horizons

Genesis' albums/eras seemed to be controversial based on who you talk too. this was an album that I hadn't really seen anyone talk about on the internet before, and it was an album that drew me in just from the cover. the song "Get 'Em Out by Friday" is a great storytelling song that portrays someone getting evicted from their home. the massive "Supper's Ready" was a 23-minute ... read more

Best Song: "Heroes"

solid album from David Bowie. i thought it was interesting how it turned into an ambient album for about 3 tracks and then Bowie said "nevermind!" and turned it back to art rock for the final track. i guess that's the Eno influence on this album. overall, pretty solid album from Bowie

Top 3:
1. Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed
2. Space Oddity
3. Cygnet Committee
Least Favorite: Memory of a Free Festival

David Bowie's magnum opus as some would argue grabs the listener and brings them into this space filled journey of an album. the opener "Space Oddity" starts the album with the lyrics, "Ground Control to Major Tom" immediately grasps you and straps you in for the ride that you are about to go on. "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed" is an ... read more

super cool vaporwave instrumental album that is good to put on when studying or you just need background music to bop your head to.

Top 3:
1. You And Whose Army?
2. Knives Out
3. I Might Be Wrong
Least Favorite: Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box

another Radiohead album that doesn't really offer a lot to the listener. "You And Whose Army?" is a great track that was the highlight of the album for me. the song "I Might Be Wrong" was also an enjoyable listen for me. but other than that there is not a lot to say about this album in my opinion.

Top 3:
1. Separator
2. Lotus Flower
3. Little By Little
Least Favorite: Feral

solid Radiohead album but this is probably one of there worst in my opinion. with only being 8-tracks long, there is not a lot to really listen too. the final track "Separator" is a great somber song with great vocals from Thom Yorke on it. "Lotus Flower" was another highlight on this album for me. but with only 8-tracks on this album, there is not a lot to work with

Best Song: Beach Baby

solid EP that takes what he was working with on his breakthrough "For Emma, Forever Ago" and keeps it going. "Woods" uses beautiful autotune throughout the track in my opinion which brings the atmosphere to a whole other level. "Beach Baby" is a great cut from this EP, reminding of other songs on "For Emma, Forever Ago." overall a great EP from Bon Iver. excited to have finished his discography.

Top 3:
1. Wash.
2. Perth
3. Towers
Least Favorite: Lisbon, OH

Bon Iver's self-titled album gives the listener that melancholic feel that everyone who listens to him enjoys. the soundscapes on this album perfectly match the cover in my opinion. "Wash." is an angelic track with beautiful instrumentation that transports you into this woods-like atmosphere the cover depicts. and the opener "Perth" does the same with its great instrumentation that hooks you into the album. ... read more

Top 3:
1. The Numbers
2. Ful Stop
3. Identikit
Least Favorite: Burn The Witch

Radiohead's somber and melancholic masterpiece pulls the listener in with beautiful angelic vocals from Thom Yorke and soothing soft instrumentals from the rest of the band. "The Numbers" has a beautiful soothing soft guitar sound on it that made is amazing to listen too. "Ful Stop" is an amazing 6-minute song diving deeper into Yorke's feeling's about someone that he's lost. this album transports ... read more

1. Duality
2. Before I Forget

Least Favorite: Danger - Keep Away

very solid album from Slipknot. RIP Joey Jordison, his drumming is absolutely amazing on this album. the double bass work on "Duality" amazes me every time I listen to it. the guitar riff on the song "Before I Forget" is super infectious and makes me want to hop into a mosh pit. the instrumental work from every one in the band is solid all-around. overall, an amazing third album ... read more

Least Favorite: Last Dance

digging through some of my Mom's CD's that she gave me I found a few Sarah McLachlan albums, this one included. i knew of Sarah McLachlan before, being that she is held to a high standard in my household at least. her hit song from this album "Angel" immediately just made me think of any meme during the 2010s. "Building a Mystery" was a great opener that hooked me into the album with Sarah's ... read more

1. Truckers Atlas
2. Doin' The Cockroach
3. Shit Luck
Least Favorite: Bankrupt On Selling

solid Modest Mouse album. i loved the nearly 11-minute epic that was "Truckers Atlas," the drums on that song were immaculate. "Cowboy Dan" was another highlight for me, I nearly enjoyed the chorus on that song. "Doin' The Cockroach" was a super fun punk-esque song that had me head-bopping along the entire time. "Shit Luck" is another great punk-esque song ... read more

3. 8 (circle)
Least Favorite: 00000 Million

another solid album from Bon Iver. this one was super industrial and experimental compared to his other works. the song "33 'GOD'" was super interesting to me. the drums on that song were super left-field and unexpected in my opinion and surprise me when i heard them. the song "715 - CR∑∑KS" was also another highlight for me in my opinion. overall another great album ... read more

Top 3:
1. Everybody Wants To Rule The World
2. Head Over Heels / Broken
3. Mothers Talk
Least Favorite: n/a

80's albums seem to never miss. this album is filled to the brim with absolute bangers. the biggest song off the album "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" is possibly one of the biggest songs of all time that has infinite replay value in my opinion. "Mothers Talk" is a song with a very funky drum and bass lines on it that make me want to listen to it on repeat. ... read more

1. Goodbye Mr. Blue
2. Q4
3. Only A Fool
Least Favorite: Chloe

Father John Misty's most recent album "Chloe and the Next 20th Century" takes more of a ragtime feel instead of his usual folk/guitar inspired music. The intro song, "Chloe" uses ragtime rhythms with a saxophone in it in order to introduce the backstory/vibe of the album. "Goodbye Mr. Blue" is an amazing 5-minute acoustic song that was amazing to listen too. "Q4" was a great song that ... read more

Top 3:
1. Tetragrammaton
2. Meccamputechture
3. Day of the Baphomets
Least Favorite: El Ciervo Vulnerado

another great album from The Mars Volta. the absolute massive song that is "Tetragrammaton" kept me intrigued for the entire 16-minute runtime with its amazing guitar riffs and powerful drums throughout the whole track. "Day of the Baphomets" really hooked me in with the bass riff at the beginning of the song, and made it really interesting to listen too. Even though ... read more

Best Song: Y.B.P (feat. Bruiser Wolf)

Danny gets really introspective and deep on this record. the beats on this album are very soft causing danny to be very deep with the lyrics. on songs such as "Hanami," the beat is very slow causing Danny to become very deep and soft and cause the listener to really hear what he has to say. although i do have to say this album was kind of a sleeper to me. i went into it thinking that Danny was going to rap over "Atrocity Exhibition" ... read more

Best Song: Good Morning, Captain

amazing and highly acclaimed post-rock album from Slint. this album is a very highly rated album that has been on my list to listen too for a while and I am happy that I did. i have been really enjoying post-rock recently and this was an album that helped scratch that itch so much more. the song "Good Morning, Captain" is a great song with soft lyrics and amazing guitars on it. the second half of the song is an absolute amazing way to end off the ... read more

1. So You Are Tired

3. Goodbye Evergreen
Least Favorite: There's A World

reading into the background of this album, this album hit so much different. the fact that this whole album is about the loss of Sufjan's partner where they died back in April of this year is so heartbreaking. "So You Are Tired" is an amazing track with beautiful and ethereal choir singing at the end of it. "Shit Talk" is an amazing 8 and a half minute song with beautiful ... read more
