I have reached 7OO ratings, and you know what that means, another head-scratching cult classic...I know this is supposed to be a "so bad it's good" album, but in my honest opinion, I legitimately enjoy all these tracks. This is all very reminiscent of Black Dresses, but a very underdeveloped Black Dresses, or a prototype 100 gecs. "Farrah Abraham lays down these emotionally potent lyrics over some masterfully produced electropop/dance-pop beats..." Or something along those ... read more

For my 666th rating, I've chosen a spooky record, a hip-hop classic, and an album I've been meaning to check out for a while now.

for my 6OOth rating, I've decided to check out one of the most important albums of all time, a maddening outsider-rock extravaganza, Philosophy of the World. Going commando only made me more uncomfortable while listening. It's a very difficult task to compare this to anything, because it's a one of a kind, and maybe for a good reason. I guess I could draw comparisons to Trout Mask Replica, but that was all organized to sound the way it does - This is not that. The one thing that perplexed me ... read more
