Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
80

Full of strong songwriting and vocals, it ends up sounding a bit too samey to reach excellence especially considering its lengthy runtime.

St. Vincent - All Born Screaming
80

Consistently strong and sonically interesting. An excellent album from Annie Clarke.

Olivia Dean - The Art of Loving
80

I can't say anything here blew me away, but this is a strong and consistent album. Olivia Dean definitely has the makings of a star who can shine for a while.

Luke Combs - This One's for You
70

The hits are exciting, but the rest of the album is merely good.

Alicia Keys - The Diary of Alicia Keys
80

It's opening half is one phenomenal track after another, but it can't quite keep its momentum. Ultimately, it's weaker back half waters down what should be an all time great.

Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album)
90

An incredible sound mixed with phenomenal songwriting. An indisputable classic!

The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
80

Inconsistent and lacking many true classics aside from Just Like Heaven, but still an excellent representation of how a band at the peak of their powers manages to impress even on their weaker records.

The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
90

The Smiths on the verge of falling apart are still absolutely The Smiths!

System of a Down - Toxicity
90

Thrilling and provocative. A classic!

Drake - Nothing Was the Same
70

Drake did make some good music

ROSALÍA - LUX
100

Sounds like nothing else in the best possible way. A transcendent avant-garde pop record with incredible instrumentation and vocals. One for the ages.

90

A phenomenal album with unique and creative production and top tier vocals!

Sigur Rós - Takk...
100

A phenomenally beautiful work centered around one of the most euphoric songs ever written!

R.E.M. - Out of Time
90

Songs on this album are either pretty forgettable or amongst the best ever written.... so can't really complain.

Ariana Grande - Sweetener
80

It can be a bit inconsistent times, but Grande's vocal performance is absolutely top tier and when the production comes together we get some phenomenal pop music.

Taylor Swift - reputation
50

Most of the album is quite mediocre. Normally some strong hits would help bring this rating up, but three of the biggest songs off of this record are just awful. Delicate and Getaway Car save it.

Morgan Wallen - Dangerous: The Double Album
60

A colossal record with enough good songs on it to craft a solid country album. Unfortunately, it is dragged down by many underwhelming and wholly unnecessary additions that dilute the quality of the entire package.

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream
80

Any given song on this album is either one of the most iconic hits of the early 2010s or borderline un-listenable. Thankfully, there's quite a bit more of the former than the latter.

The Lemon Twigs - Look for Your Mind!
90

The Lemon Twigs remain the standard bearers for retro rock in 2026, but I think valid questions are emerging about how they can evolve their sound.

Slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA
80

A wild time with fantastic production that's only missing some slightly more compelling lyricism.
