Bathory - Octagon
39

Wow this is terrible.

Quorthon fr let this slide?

86

Kind of overrated but undeniable influence, same with In Utero.

Blu - Forty
71

This album cover is so simple it kind of caught my attention.
I saw this was on vinyl and honestly this would be such a strange but also kinda cool thing to have on vinyl

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
86

Idk why they would choose to make a joke of public enemy with the name and make it one of the best prog albums of all time. This is really good, although it kind of relies a lot on anesthetize to be good.
This album is more metal based, so I will put it in top 50 metal albums.

There isn’t really any information on who the kid on the album cover is, at least I don’t think.

This is W PROG‼️

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
85

Big step-up from lightbulb sun to this album, W PROG

Kanye West - DONDA 2 [Reissue]
19

js retire bru😭💀🥀💔

Best song: Scifi

Worst: Security (Funniest)

Radiohead - Pablo Honey
65

Radiohead fans trying not to crash out when you like a song from Pablo Honey: level impossible:

Pretty basic album though.

Self Esteem - A Complicated Woman
NR

This is now officially the lowest rated album on aoty to be a must listen.

Before I think it was Cardi B Invasion of Privacy.

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
89

Marvin Straight for this.

Weezer - OK Human
71

Pinkerton 2.

Frank Ocean - Blonde
85

Beautiful work of an album put together by Frank Ocean.

Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight
68

Linkin Park kind of ditches what makes them special to many people with this album. “What I’ve Done” is a nice track, but it get pretty mid in the second half. Bleed it Out slightly reminds me of N’s in Paris for some reason.

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
82

Like the last album I reviewed, this honestly has pretty solid riffs. The atmosphere is dark. One of the most important black metal bands, darkthrone’s defining sound is gripping.
For some reason it triggers me a slight bit how the sound randomly cut off at the end, which is a problem I had with De Mysteriis dom Sathanas, but it doesn’t really make a difference.

Coroner - Mental Vortex
84

Solid riffs on a great thrash metal album. That’s mostly all that has to be said about this.

Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
87

In the Nightside Eclipse but better?

This is honestly the best black metal album just all around. I wouldn't say of all time, even though it is close.

Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is just very consistent. Those riffs are great, same with the vocals, keyboards, drumming, choruses. The production on here is great, really, which more bands definitely followed after. You can tell they tried to make the album noisy to add more sound to it, which honestly works perfectly.

What a chorus on Ye ... read more

Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse
85

This is good but why is donald duck on vocals

Michael Jackson - Thriller
87

The omnipresent album.

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IV
70

Bro got mad that they chose kendrick over him to perform at the super bowl halftime show. In fact he decided to not go to the super bowl for that reason and I think even announced carter 6 after that.

Tiamat - Wildhoney
85

This album is oddly bittersweet in a sense.

The mood changes from dark to strangely happy, which is weird, and honestly the darker parts at the beginning are better and overall just really well done. Overall, solid listen.

Entombed - Left Hand Path
84

Fun fact: This album art, as well as many other, especially 90’s death metal album covers was painted by Dan Seagrave.

There is honestly just something nice about OSDM. This album defines it.

"@fantine Yeah, I listened to it. It’s not on peak level really, but it’s a very good album."
On ~rip!~ >ω<'s review of Gris - Il était une forêt...
"Just came back to this album today. I'm not a big black metal consumer, but I've been listening to it a lot recently. Surprisingly, this might not even be the best "DSBM" album of the year, since Shining's "V. Halmstad" is a close competitor."

On lilyth's review of GRIM - The Death of a Capulet
"I think it’s a glitch that it showed up on Death’s profile because this happens to other small artists when somebody has the same name as them (although death is really not that small) For example, if you check death metal band Pestilence on spotify they have a single listed as their lastest release which is not even theirs."
On SotisGaze's review of Testament - The New Order
"Btw, idk if you have listened to Testament’s debut album, The Legacy, which I think is their best album. I would also recommend The Gathering, my second favorite. Maybe just as an honorable mention, as well, Practice What You Preach is pretty good. For a review you left on Cynic’s “Ascension Codes”, I would recommend their debut album, Focus, which is very ahead of its time."
On ClayDJs03's review of Alice in Chains - Dirt
"Grunge isn’t underrated, being pretty popular actually."
On chaz's review of Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
"Bro let people rate by their opinion lmao. To me though, this actually deserves higher than an 82, especially for its influence on death metal. Sometimes just the music is not everything. Otherwise this album tends to be overrated by fans. On metalstorm.net (much better than aoty for metal fans, since users on there know way more.) this is the 82nd highest rated metal album of all time, rated an 8.84/10. What glaze."
