Drake - Certified Lover Boy
30

Tootsie slide right over the edge my dude.

Drake - Scorpion
35

Save yourself the time. Instead, imagine Drake and the 200 people in the ovo sweatshop building a sandcastle made of faux gold, fake diamonds and the tears of Lauryn Hill. Now, imagine with a single "Yeaugh" Pusha T kicks it over leaving Drake and crew to scramble to put it back together. While I will always hate "Views" more, I think "Scorpion" is where Drake as an artist actually died. Sure it has it's moments, and it's hits (Ill never understand how ... read more

Drake -  Honestly, Nevermind
5

The 5 points go to genuinely impressing me with how lazy this piece of garbage is.

Drake - Views
15

I get irrationally angry when I think of this alum and that stupid little man on top of that tower.

Drake - If You're Reading This It's Too Late
85

The best Drake project and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

Kanye West - JESUS IS KING
40

In my mind, Jesus Is King is probably the most baffling moment of Kanye's career. Yes even after Donda and everything that followed in it's wake. It was strange and hypocritical at the time, now it's completely unimaginable.

Injury Reserve - By the Time I Get to Phoenix
90

"Guess you guys aren't ready for that one. But your children will cry over it."

-Marty Mcfly

94

An absolute trainwreck of an album. A new negative precedent set for artists to release their albums unfinished and just edit them whenever they want. An album so full of terrible and poorly aged lyrics that it's kind of baffling that West had ghostwriters at all. Tonal shifts that were neck breaking at their most gentle and finally, an album cover so stupid that it circles back around and becomes profound.

But ya know, I won't lie to you, I adore this thing. I remember where I was ... read more

JAY-Z & Kanye West - Watch the Throne
55

Man, what a remarkable lack of taste it took to make this thing. Whenever I hear "Gotta Have It" it sends me back to 2011 with Jay-Z kicking down my front door and demanding money from me. Like bro, my family still hasn't recovered from 2008 yet! It's lucky you had a door to kick down at all! I'm all for victory laps in rap, and Kanye certainly deserved one after it MBDTF, but time them right lads. Please.

Kanye West - Late Registration
95

Back in the day I used to borrow CD's from my local library, rip them and put them on my ipod. A classic millennial tale for sure. However it was midway listening to this that my sweet and innocent mother gently put her hand on my shoulder and told me "It kind of scares me that you're listening to rap. :(" Oh mom... He hadn't even become a nazi yet.

Azealia Banks - 212
100

On one hand I'm mad that Banks could never measure up to the absolute enormity of this thing. On the other hand, her becoming the final boss of twitter shitposting is arguably the most important artistic trajectory of the 21st century thus far.

The Fall - The Complete Peel Sessions 1978–2004
100

At a record store I saw The Falls name tag with the message "is the best band ever" hastily written under it. I mean I haven't heard every band in the world, but this compilation makes a great argument for that case.

Bob Dylan - "Love And Theft"
NR

The reports of Bob's death were greatly exaggerated.

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
100

This was a dangerous album for me to hear at 15. Not because it encouraged me to do bad things or anything but because it just made me more pretentious. Which, to those around me, was way worse than anything I was capable of at the time.

Silver Jews - American Water
99

99/100 Hospitalized for approaching perfection

Sun Kil Moon - Benji
90

My dad said "Ben's My Friend" is one of the most brilliant songs ever. He is in his late 50s... which may influence the opinion quite a bit... but not mine! I can't wait to be his age and have a mid life crisis to this album.

Adrianne Lenker - Bright Future
95

Probably the greatest songwriter we have working today. I would give that title to Joanna Newsom but it's been a long time, girl. Plus I'm not even sure if Joanna could match Sadness as a Gift.

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
93

The kind of album I'll pass down to my kids. It's become genuinely frightening how great this band is.

Tom Waits - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards
NR

Dog Door is the type of song to cause the type of violence that changes the trajectory of everything.

Tom Waits - Real Gone
85

Rating is for the original release and production. The newer mix makes the album feel a whole lot less dirty and like it wasn't made at the bottom of a trash can. Which, I mean, that's what I'm here for Tom, make it stank.

On Furry music's review of Car Seat Headrest - Nervous Young Man
"The masters thesis statement on Car Seat Headrest. Nothing more need be said. Look, I just got on this website, I don't know who you are, but I am just floored by the amount of love and passion you have for this project. I genuinely wish I could say as much and with as much heart about.. well anything I love. I hope you never stop writing , I hope you never lose that fire to write the reviews you do."
