Beast In Black - From Hell With Love
95

Love this album. Such a great mix of power metal and 80s Europop.
Every song is an absolute banger! Perfect for a workout or fighting a dragon.

The Pretty Wild - Zero.point.genesis
85

A solid radio friendly alt metal with melodic verses and super catchy choruses.

Death - The Sound of Perseverance
75

Spirit Crusher is great, and Painkiller is good too, but the rest of the album feels too repetitive and did not really give me anything new. Overall, the album is fine, but it definitely did not wow me.

At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
75

Good, but a bit overrated.

In Flames - The Jester Race
100

A melodic death metal magnum opus.

Novembre - The Blue
95

Proto-Blackgaze classic.

De La Soul - Cabin In The Sky
95

No more hip-hop albums needed this year.
Nothing’s topping this one.

Tame Impala - Deadbeat
80

Music for almost forty year old kids who know they are not that young anymore, but still love to mess around and enjoy life.
A beautiful album that most people did not really get, and one that remains highly underrated.
Right now Deadbeat feels like Tame Impala’s most carefree and at the same time most serious work.

AFI - Silver Bleeds The Black Sun...
85

Why such a low rating?
Their best album since The Art of Drowning.

Gorillaz - Cracker Island
80

Gorillaz's best album in a long time.

Deftones - private music
75

Not bad. I like it more than 'Ohms', but it doesn’t quite reach the melodic/hooky moments that Gore had.
Feels like a pretty standard “legacy rock band” album, the kind you’d expect from a group with 20+ years behind them, trying to recapture the magic of their past eras. You can hear echoes of 'White Pony', 'Koi No Yokan', even 'Ohms' scattered throughout.
I won’t be spinning this on repeat, but hey — It’s still ... read more

Ethel Cain - Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You
75

I really like the dreamy, sad vibe of the music. Just not sure the vocals are on the same wavelength.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine
80

Sounds a bit repetitive for me, but it's still not bad.

Felt - Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty
90

Great record, but personally I think it would’ve been even better without vocals, as a fully instrumental album.

Linkin Park - From Zero
90

From Zero is the best Linkin Park album since Hybrid Theory and Meteora.

The album feels like a retrospective of band evolution. You can hear echoes of their early nu metal sound, blended with the more pop and electronic vibes they explored in later years. Thankfully, it leans more toward the old-school LP, which longtime fans will appreciate.
Special shoutout to Emily Armstrong: her gritty, grungy vocals are a perfect match for the band’s sound and add a fresh dynamic to the mix.

Niis - niis world
80

Just a really good album with that nostalgic 90s female grunge vibe.

Spite

Teen Mortgage - Devil Ultrasonic Dream
80

A strong debut album. The sound is punchy garage punk with lively melodies, bringing to mind early Fidlar or Wavves. It’s not particularly original, but it’s super listenable and works well as background music. I enjoyed it and hope the band sticks with this vibe.

Favorite Songs:

Beck - Sea Change
100

I’ve been into Beck for a long time, but somehow I always missed this album. I only heard Sea Change recently, and I had mixed feelings — part of me wishes I’d found it earlier, but I’m also glad I didn’t get tired of it too soon.
The album feels super calming — like something that helps you relax and feel cozy. It’s full of beautiful, sad songs, and it really works best when you listen from start to finish, not just one song at a time.
Definitely one ... read more
