It's been a while since I last talked about Whitehouse. Coming back to their discography, I was hoping for something that would really impress me: something shocking, something truly terrible. And looking at the album next in line, I was hoping for that. Psychopathia Sexualis is definitely one of the band's most notorious works. I don't know if I would call it one of their more popular or famous works, but it's definitely one of their more well-known ones. But unfortunately for me, I didn't ... read more

Holy shit. I was expecting to listen to this a few times tonight and a few more times tomorrow before finalizing my opinion and writing a review for it, but this album really doesn't deserve that. This truly is Reed's worst solo album, and it really doesn't deserve any more than the one listen, if even that. I admire Reed a lot; his ability to not give a fuck and make the music he wanted to make without anyone else's say is something I wish more artists would adopt so that they aren't just ... read more

Legendary harsh noise band, KISS, are a group that everyone loves. Even if you are someone who despises harsh noise, you can't deny that KISS's entire discography are filled with some of the most effective albums ever made. If you think that Merzbow's Venereology is one of the most unrelentingly brutal albums ever made, or if you think Whitehouse's Bird Seed is one of the most gut-wrenching albums anyone could ever hear, you clearly have not heard KISS's Carnival Of Souls.

Carnival Of Souls is ... read more

Ecstasy is easily one of Reed's most underappreciated efforts. It seems to have flown under most people's radar, with many writing off Reed's post-1990s music as some of his worst and most inessential works, and it doesn't help that this album in particular has one of his most corny album covers in his entire career. But everyone who is a fan of Reed and listens to this album is in for a treat, as Ecstasy quickly proves itself to be a fantastic effort from the late Lou Reed, an album that ... read more

Definitely the beginning of a temporary end for Mr. Dylan. While most people would probably point to either Self Portrait or Dylan (1973) as being the first albums to show that he isn't quite as consistent as most of his discography would lead you to believe, if you ask me, taking Self Portrait as the intentional joke that it is and Dylan (1973) as the misstep from the label that it is, then Street-Legal would be the first true disappointment in his career. And while the album isn't bad per se, ... read more

Set The Twilight Reeling is by far the most easily forgotten Lou Reed album, and by far the most overlooked Lou Reed album.

On first glance, Set The Twilight Reeling really doesn't do anything new. And if you heard it once and came to that conclusion, then you would be quite right, because it really isn't anything special, nor does it do anything new. The thing is, this album wasn't made with the intention of doing anything exciting. After two highly emotional albums, this feels less like Reed ... read more

Possessed release their first full-length album in 33 years, and first batch of new material in 32 years, and while every single member except for vocalist Jeff Becerra are new to the group, they prove to be just as entertaining a death/thrash metal band as they were in the '80s.

I don't think there's an album in Possessed's entire discography that is as consistently pummeling as this one. All throughout their short-lived but impactful run in the '80s, they made albums that were very important ... read more

Judas Priest's latest release gives exactly what every metal fan has wanted from the band for close to three decades: an album truly worthy of the Judas Priest name; an album that shows that one of the heaviest bands of the '70s can be just as heavy today as they were so many years ago; an album that shows everyone that they still have just as much energy to pump excitement through the veins of everyone listening; an album that can be easily loved despite being flawed.

Firepower, to me, is the ... read more

Magic And Loss originally started as a concept album about magic, but after the loss of two close friends to cancer, Reed expanded the themes over to death as well. The result is the second emotionally-charged album in a row which hits just as hard as the previous Songs For Drella, but is arguably better from a musical standpoint.

To a lot of people, Magic And Loss is ruined by its overbearing themes of death. And I've gotta be honest, I understand that perfectly well. Unlike an album like ... read more

Lou Reed and John Cale reunite for the first (and last) time since The Velvet Underground's 1968 album White Light/White Heat, all so they can pay tribute to their friend, Andy Warhol. As you'd expect, the result is a melancholic record that well-utilizes the sound of both artist, with Reed's usual art rock sound mixing well with Cale's baroque sound. If this album proves anything, it's that both Lou Reed and John Cale are at their best when they're working together.

I feel like this is quite ... read more

The departure of founding guitarist K. K. Downing could have been the end for the band, but his replacement, Richie Faulkner, proves himself to be just as good a guitarist as Downing. However, that doesn't save the album from the mediocrity that it realistically is.

Let's be honest here, no matter what your thoughts are on this album, you have to agree that this is the best album Judas Priest put out in years. Since 1990's Painkiller, to be exact. Redeemer Of Souls is rightfully noted as the ... read more

The best possible follow-up to the ambitious Blood On The Tracks and pretty much the only thing you would expect from Dylan after releasing a compilation of previously unreleased songs in The Basement Tapes, while I wouldn't call Desire as great an effort as many of his other projects, it's still undeniably an amazing album with some of Dylan's best storytelling.

Desire is one of Dylan's highest-selling and most popular albums, and it's easy to see why. This is definitely one of the more ... read more

I seem to have saved one of the best for last, as Halloween H20 is surprisingly one of my favourite mixtapes from Lil B. It's filled to the brim with bangers and genuinely good tracks. Some may say that Lil B making an album on the theme of halloween was a bad idea to begin with and that he didn't pull it off well enough, but I'd say otherwise.

With that said, that's the end of my Lil B binge. All 70 of his mixtapes listened to and reviewed. It was a pretty fun journey and certainly not as bad ... read more

Is it based to say that I prefer this one to the first one? Because by the looks of things people tend to hate this one but like the first one, but I think that they're both just as good as each other with 2 being just a little bit better. It was just a much more entertaining listen to me. I guess lyrically it isn't as good as Illusions Of Grandeur 1, but I still prefer it.

Can someone remind me why I left this mixtape as one of the last in my Lil B binge? This album is easily one of the most boring in his discography, with shitty freestyles, uninspiring beats and underwhelming samples. It just isn't a fun album.

Yawn. This album just feels far too redundant for me to really care at all. There really isn't much that I love on here. It's just a pretty decent album, not too bad but not too great. It has good production but everything else about it is just too boring.

Task Force is a pretty fun tape, though not one of B's best. It has good tracks and it has bad tracks, so I guess it's just another Lil B album in that regard. It's worth a listen if you like B's other stuff, otherwise you probably wouldn't get much enjoyment out of it.

A pretty average Lil B mixtape. There's really not much special about it other than it being just as entertaining as most of his other tapse. Only thing is that the cover art is terrible, easily the worst in B's entire catalog. It just looks so cheap and was one of the main reasons why this ended up being one of the last mixtapes I heard from him.

Seeing as this is one of the most hated albums in the Flame series, I expected to not like this album that much, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. It isn't Lil B at his best by any means, but it's definitely an hour of some really fun tracks. The production and beats are good and B's performance is also noteworthy. The lyrics are shit though.

Another shorter mixtape, and it's definitely a nice one. It's always fun to listen to these shorter Lil B mixtapes. I feel like this is where he's at his most creative. And while I appreciate that Trapped In BasedWorld didn't waste my time the same way many of his longer albums do, it just doesn't do as much for me as many of his other tapes do.
