Elliott Smith - Elliott Smith
97

Once again thank you to @mthrfckr_rdmr for the recommendation. I honestly wish I was more familiar with the music of Elliott Smith. He's an artist I've heard lots of love and praise for, but never got the chance to listen to myself. Well.. here we are. It is fitting that this album is his self titled project as it is clearly focused largely on his own experiences. This is essentially his attempt to show you the struggles of his life. Smith expresses many of his feelings and personal ... read more

Inspirative - Mysteriously Awake
96

Thanks to @mthrfckr_rdmr for the album recommendation. Very underrated album we have here! This album seems to combine the drone heavy climaxes of GY!BE with the intense drumming of Swans to create this unique little album. Sure, it's not gonna blow your mind, but for the 44 minutes its there, it is a great listen. I really enjoyed the overall soundscapes and atmospheres of the tracks on this album, there was never a moment where I felt uninterested. Unfortunately, I can't really give ... read more

Swans - The Glowing Man (Edit)
100

The most sonically intense song that Swans has ever made, possibly their best, and possibly the best song ever made. You can feel every drop, every switch, every build-up, and every climax

Luke De-Sciscio - Theo
93

Thanks to the creator of this album @therealmrsly for recommending this album to me. Give this man a "⭐Must Hear Album" NOW. This album honestly surpassed my expectations, I thought it would be a a good album dedicated to the birth of Luke's daughter based on what I had read. I knew it would be beautiful to an extent but I didn't think it would be THAT beautiful. Some of the best vocal performances I've heard this year are on this very album. I might even need to ... read more

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
100

Give that drummer a raise, DAMN! Got this album on vinyl recently and it gave me the idea to relisten to it and write a new review for it. Even after a whole lifetime worth of music, this album still sounds fresh and innovative. Like holy shit, talk about "ahead of it's time". This album has some of the best melodies and soundscapes ever crafted in all of music. Every song here is either one of the most beautiful songs you have ever heard, one of the most grandiose songs ... read more

Swans - To Be Kind
100

This is the album that first proved to me that Swans are an absolute force to be reckoned with. When I first listened to the trilogy about 2 months ago, I thought The Seer was amazing in its own right, particularly in the high moments on tracks such as "A Piece of the Sky" or "Apostate". However where that album had its moments, this album is consistently amazing and mind blowing. Track after track are some of the best songs that Swans have ever made such as Screen Shot, A ... read more

Radiohead - Kid A
100

Probably Radiohead's most experimental work ever. This was an album that took quite a few listens for me to fully love and appreciate. On first listen I thought it was good but not even close to being worthy of top 20 of all time. On second listen I began to like it more, and so I kept listening, and now I see this as Radiohead's 2nd best work only behind OK Computer (I'm gonna relisten to In Rainbows soon as well so maybe I end up liking it more than this?). I think this is the ... read more

Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely
100

One of their most emotionally impactful songs, can't listen to this song without feeling something, whether it be goosebumps or tears.

Björk - Vespertine
100

@MyNameIsLuca, you were right, my dick has in fact exploded. There is skin, flesh, blood, and various other bodily fluids covering my entire room. Coming off of Homogenic, I expected this album to be like that one but maybe with better lyrics or somehow even better vocals. Can you blame me though? I mean it's two highly acclaimed albums by the same artist with the same primary tags. This album is much more sensual than Homogenic, yet despite that, unlike many other records by different ... read more

Kraken - Helpless Child (Nightcore)
0

@Qurging Why the hell did you recommend me this, is there something wrong with you, how did you even find this? This sounds like a shitty attempt at an "ADHD" version of Helpless Child with how its sped up. Listened until Michael Gira started speaking, then I said to myself "Yep, I'm done"

Björk - Jóga
100

Normally, I'd be like "uhm akshually there is 4 unique songs that aren't Joga" but this song is so peak like wtf.

Björk - Post
97

Debut was good, I might write a review for it once I listen to Homogenic and Vespertine, but this, this is peak. Bjork really begins to prove herself as an artist with this album. Her vocals are stunningly beautiful on every song, like I can feel her voice move through my body. Not to mention the production on this album is so fucking amazing omg it just pulls my entire being into the songs. Perhaps the biggest shock about this album (or I guess her as an artist) is that this is only her 3RD ... read more

Björk - Violently Happy
92

The single mainly gets carried by some of the B-Sides as Violently Happy is probably the weakest off of Debut

Björk - Venus As A Boy
89

Venus As A Boy is awesome, definitely a 10 but the other songs in the single are 2 of the weakest off of Debut

Also wtf was meant by non-toilet???

Jeff Buckley - Grace
99

Every song on this album feels so special, it surrounds you in its pure emotion and it's clear how much of his soul was poured out into this work. Jeff Buckley himself sums up what listening to this album is like himself "Oh, that was so real". But you know what doesn't seem real? This mans voice. This man has to have one of the best voices I've had the grace (no pun intended) of hearing. His vocals perfectly enhance every song and make them feel even more atmospheric ... read more

Quadeca - I Didn't Mean to Haunt You
99

Damn it, I missed the chance to review it on its birthday, my bad guys. Also, thanks to everyone for 200 followers! It was a huge thing for me back when I got 100 followers on this site, now that number has already doubled? That is absolutely insane to me and I really can't express my gratitude for all of y'all! I really didn't know what to expect listening to this album, Quadeca is an artist I have heard plenty about, but I don't feel as if I've truly entranced myself ... read more

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
100

Progressive Rock masterpiece, I cannot think of many other ways to describe it. Even though this album is only 5 songs that total up to under 45 minutes of music, I still feel like I could listen to this album forever and never get tired of it. Of the 3 perfect scores I have given to Pink Floyd (once again, they deserve it) this is their greatest work. This is the album that brings out the most emotion out of any Pink Floyd album, it just gives you this sense of longing and, well.... ... read more

Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
100

This is without a doubt Swans' definitive record. You know how people sometimes say "Man, its hard to believe the same band that made The Bends also made Kid A". With this album, it is hard to believe the same band made any of the same songs on here. It's hard to use just a few words to encapsulate the listening experience of this album, as it is hardly defined to one genre throughout the whole album. This album is quite the long one, at almost 2 and a half hours long, but ... read more

"@iamalsothesun I always wondered how that picture of him came to be. But that's kind of funny too, because I used that (obviously censored) photo in a meme (I run a Swans enjoyer account 😭), and I just so happened to use a song from the 1997 tour (Blood Promise) as the audio. Part of me wishes that song was at the end of the album, but at the same time I like how Helpless Child was placed towards the end."
