Quicksand - Slip
80

Overall a solid post-hardcore album, that is very samey, but nonetheless good.

Senses Fail - Still Searching
88

Buddy isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, vocally in particular his singing, which means if you DO enjoy his singing and especially his screaming, this will be one of your favorite emo albums. Heavy, emotional, dark, unrelenting, and most evidently, very catchy.

La Dispute - Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair
95

This is the type of album where you go, “Man I’m really not sure about this album and tone and sound,” to 10/15 years later being one of the most passionate, emotional, and heavy hitting albums, dare I say ever? This is the blueprint of a wave of post-hardcore, and yet it feels like it absolutely perfected the ethos of the genre.

Radiohead - Daydreaming
100

Hypnotizing, entrancing, nostalgic, mesmerizing. Are you getting the picture? This is the musical equivalent of being caught in the rain and finding shelter under an awning and seeing everything else getting wet. Like being in a sound proof bubble during an apocalypse.

Kendrick Lamar - euphoria
98

Manages to be Kendrick’s third greatest diss track released in a week and a half.

Radiohead - Let Down
100

Three songs from Radiohead could muster a perfect score and not 99, 98, 97. 100; this is one of them.

95

This is the greatest display of emotion put on tape.

twenty one pilots - Clancy
87

On a re-listen, yeah this is a pretty good album. There’s definitely some songs that are definitely more on the good/okay side than great side, but man… Overcompensate and Next Semester is the second best one-two punch to open an album only after Trench. Navigating has energy, Routines In The Night has a pop feel that I really like, Lavish is so fun; the beat/production is essentially colorful Trench. Paladin Strait might actually be one of Twenty One Pilots’ most overlooked ... read more

Bring Me The Horizon - POST HUMAN: NeX GEn
90

Sitting with this album for a couple of days, I can confidently say this is Bring Me The Horizon pushing the envelope AGAIN and will go down as BMTH’s A Thousand Suns. An album that strayed away from the band’s most notable sound and turning certain things to 11. This is essentially what the band should have done on amo where there’s elements of the weirdness but also heavy but also catchy and putting in a package where the visuals fit the narrative makes this album a dynamic ... read more

King Krule - 6 Feet Beneath the Moon
77

For a first listen, there’s a lot of songs and moments I was fond of, and some moments that left a lot to be desired.

Faye Webster - Faye Webster
80

There’s some cool ideas, and Faye has such a great voice that it carries overall average songs.

Radiohead - In Rainbows
100

I love this album. I love the pacing, the songs, the lyrics, the exploration of sounds and textures. It arguably has my favorite song of all-time (Weird Fishes). Very few albums I feel very comfortable giving a 10/10, 100%, perfect score. I love you, In Rainbows.

Jamie xx - In Colour
85

There’s few albums I’d want to experience live more than In Colour, just to understand it in that specific context. Fun listen.

Beach House - Depression Cherry
89

Low gravity, slow motion, numb feeling, red velvet.

Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city
97

Probably the greatest hip hop record of the 21st century.
EDIT 94 —> 97
This IS the greatest hip hop record of the 21st century.

The Strokes - The New Abnormal
96

An album with such immense replay value, that damn it… I might listen to it again.

AFI - Sing the Sorrow
90

Some of the catchiest post-hardcore you’ll ever hear. Great guitar album.

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
95

One of the most remarkable debut albums from the early 2000’s.

On La Dispute - II
"While King Park is the more emphasis on the heavier post-hardcore that I enjoy and TLLC is probably my favorite La Dispute song lyrically, ECF could go down as the most definitive La Dispute song."

"Even though I’m not the biggest expert on trip hop, would you consider the second half of their song Redecorate as trip hop?"
