This is genuinely one of the darkest albums ever. It's really raw and loud and really did set the blueprint for Nu metal, with Jonathan's iconic vocals just being great
Favourite Track: Daddy (one of the most fucked up songs to grace the earth, I feel so so sorry for Jonathan Davis)

It's a fine album. It has its memorable tracks but the rest are just, meh. Vic Fuentes' singing sounds kind of whiny but his brother's drum beats are awesome, except for the sheer overuse of halftime grooves.
Favourite Tracks: Bulls in The Bronx (One of the only tracks that uses a regular time groove, and it has a good acoustic bridge)

Songs For The Deaf is a record I had high expectations for, and it definitely met them. It can be pretty heavy at times, and more chill at times. It's a very great record overall with particular appreciation to Josh Homme's great singing.
Favourite Track: Song For The Dead (An incredible drum intro, with very scary vocals and just really good instrumentation)

Nightmare is definitely one of A7X's best. It's got their classic heaviness, their very dark parts and it's got Mike Portnoy to take the place of The Rev (Game respects Game). It's quite a progressive record and a great metal release
Favourite Track: Welcome To The Family (I don't know why but it's a cool song that shows their metal parts really well)

Sempiternal is a cool album for my first Metalcore listen. Oli Sykes' vocal aggression is a really interesting, and it's a very energetic and quite uplifting album entirely.
Favourite Track: Can You Feel My Heart (I can tell why this song blew up)

MGMT's debut album is a whimsical and optimistic record with cool electronic parts, and lots of creativity, not phenomenal, but still interesting
Favourite Track: Kids (The synthesizers and the vocals just sound so good together like wow)

I rarely agree with critics. but they're right for once, this is an incredible album that everyone should once experience, close to no bad tracks, just genuinely phenomenal all round.
Favourite Track: Something (A very peaceful and romantic track, with pleasant organs and some nice loud parts)

Strangeways, Here We Come managed to end the era of the Smiths with a good go that showed that even after all of their time, they've still kept their sound.
Favourite Track: A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours (A very chill song that sounds kinda spooky for some reason, but fully Jangle Pop)

White Pony was a cool album, because the band used a lot of influebces from other genres, to make the album one of their best,
Favourite Track: Digital Bath (A very shoegaze inspired track with the classic metal parts of the band)

Not the best in Rush's catalogue in my opinion, but still has some good songs here and there.
Favourite Track: The Spirit Of Radio (All of the band show their skills on this track, with some cool reggae influenced stuff)

Master of Reality truly is the birth of that heavy, chunky doom metal sound. It still has all the charms that make Black Sabbath sound like the band, but there are still new factors that are added to the mix, like some more quiet production and quite a few interlude tracks, but it's still a memorable album none the less.
Favourite Track: Children of The Grave (It's the most popular for a reason. Bill Ward's dual drumming tracks are just iconic, and the guitar and bass riffs are ... read more

In Utero in my opinion is a combination of the early heavier stuff and the more clean grungy noise from 91'. It has such heavy and aggressive tracks like Rape Me and Scentless Apprentice, but still more chill ones like Dumb and All Apologies. It has a great mixture of noise, from Dave Grohl's creative drumming, Krist's droning basslines, and Kurt's yelling vocals and cool guitar work.
Favourite Track: Scentless Apprentice (A great and creative drum intro, with a cool riff ... read more

Black Sabbath's Paranoid set the blueprint for metal to come, and it did it to such a damn good level, no wonder the whole band is a phenomenal force. Tony Iommi's iconic riffing, Bill Ward's incredible drumming, Geezer Butler's awesome supporting basslines, and Ozzy Osbourne' incredible vocal style. It's such an incredible force of nature for music onwards
Favourite Tracks: Hand of Doom (The song has two very distinct sections, a very smooth and moody section and ... read more

Nimrod is an album that merges a variety of genres into the songs in its tracklist. Many classic pop punk songs like Worry Rock and The Grouch, Ska Punk from King For A Day, Hardcore Punk with Platypus (I Hate You), and Acoustic Rock with Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life). Nimrod is a great album that just shows how versatile Green Day can be in the terms of what music they can make.
Favourite Track: Hitchin' A Ride (That marching snare drum groove, the fire bassline and the aggression of ... read more

Black Sabbath's debut album paved the way for heavy metal as a genre entirely. It's a frightening and unique album that leans into the occult themes that the band are going for. Tony Iommi's iconic riffs are still highly relevant and influential to this day, and his soloing on songs like Warning and Black Sabbath are incredible, and Ozzy Osbourne's famous moaning vocals top off all the songs.
Favourite Track: The Wizard (The songs seems like a fantasy and uplifting song ... read more

The Battle of Los Angeles has a very refined and polished sound for RATM, but does it change the quality of their performance? God No. The band still sounds as heavy and political as they always do, but still have the experimental edge they've had. Tom Morello truly reaches his peak in terms of how he makes some of the strangest guitar noises, which, love it or hate it, make RATM sound like themselves
Favourite Track: Guerrilla Radio (A decently heavy and rap fueled song with some cool ... read more

Dear god, the sheer vulgarity, the brutality, the genuine chaos that oozes from this album is something I absolute love. It truly is a metal masterpiece, it's heavy, brutal, creative, and makes Slipknot sound so unique and special. From the percussion of Shawn and Chris, to Corey Taylor's switching between screaming and singing make this album sound so incredible.
Favourite Track: People = Shit (The heaviness of this song is incredible; the intro blast beats, the turntable beats, the ... read more

Wish You Were Here definitely managed to live up to the hype of Dark Side of the Moon. With songs like the nine part Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and the famed title track, all of it sound like the ideal progressive rock record, which Pink Floyd has always been famed for.
Favourite Track: Shine On You Crazy Diamond (The instrumentals sound so dreamy and distant, and it's all brought together when the vocals and harmonies come in)

Led Zeppelin's fourth album is one of the most famed albums of all time, and for good reasons. Jimmy Page's iconic guitar riffs that have endured all of rock history, Robert Plant's belting and melodic vocals that compliment every riff, John Paul Jones' bass lines that support all the riffs and drum beats, and John Bonham's iconic, groovy and punchy drumming truly do culminate to make this an incredible album
Favourite Track: Stairway To Heaven (There's a reason ... read more

Oasis's second is still using those iconic britpop conventions and still makes it sound as good as last time. Noel's guitar work has still stood out for the entire album, and his vocal work on some songs is very good, as good as his brother's own singing. Overall, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? is a great 90s album that is a definitive release for Britpop
Favourite Track: Don't Look Back In Anger (Noel's guitar work and vocals are great, paired with Alan ... read more
