It took Mr. Dylan ten albums to reach his first major dud. I don't care how much you dislike this album, it's a fucking achievement for an artist to go through an entire decade of consistently pumping out albums and their first miss being their tenth release.

Honestly, if this is the worst Bob Dylan has to offer, then I have nothing but good feelings going into his future releases. This is one of the few albums in Dylan's discography that is consistently listed as being one of his worst ... read more

I don't get it.

I've never been crazy about Tame Impala to begin with. I thought that they were a pretty consistent band up until now, with three perfectly good albums under their belt, but I was never as amazed by them as most people seem to be. I've always thought that Innerspeaker was a pretty boring and pointless albeit inoffensive album, but I can see the appeal of it, but up until now that was my hottest take when it came to Tame Impala's music. Both Lonerism and Currents are albums that ... read more

Screaming For Vengeance is yet another Judas Priest classic, and yet another one of their albums that is always up for debate about being one of the greatest metal albums of all time. Honestly, out of the other classics of theirs that I've heard, this is the first one that I can genuinely see having a case for being a top ten album in the genre.

This album is straight badassery from front-to-back. Right from the instrumental opener, The Hellion, all the way to the vicious closer, Devil's ... read more

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten as much attention as some of his other albums. With Street Hassle, Lou Reed changed up his sound yet again, going with a punkier feel, with some of the most impactful, blunt, and to-the-point songwriting in his career, which results in some of his most moving and shocking tracks to date.

I think this album can be summed up perfectly with the eleven minute title track. That song is a three-part masterpiece of songwriting describing life on the streets of New ... read more

Bob Dylan goes full country, gets a Johnny Cash feature, and radically changes his singing voice, and he still manages to make a solid record.

This album is a really odd one. Dylan goes for a much simpler songwriting approach than usual, going with more basic lyrical themes and a sound that is much closer to country than it is folk, and completely changes his voice, making it sound even weirder than usual. Honestly, I'm surprised that there isn't more of a negative response to this album ... read more

Point Of Entry is an odd record. It's one that most people see as nothing more than a throwaway, a small blemish in Judas Priest's mostly excellent discography, and the only album in their classic run that most fans forget about. Seeing the mixed reception to this album, I did have some hope that I would like this record more than most. For one, Judas Priest has been a band that hasn't let me down once, even their mediocre debut had things that I liked within it. And the fact that this is an ... read more

I swear I've heard this exact album, like, fifty times last year.

So, Alexandra Savior made another singer-songwriter indie pop record to add to the ever-expanding genre, and she does literally nothing to really justify this album's existence. I do think this album has a pleasant sound, and the instrumentals coupled with her gorgeous voice is certainly breathtaking at times. A good chunk of this album is actually pretty damn good, but this album is so easily forgettable and so redundant that I ... read more

With Denzel releasing so many projects recently, I decided to check out some of his other works that I hadn't yet heard, and I'm honestly glad I did.

32 Zel is far from being in leagues with Denzel's best albums, but it does provide some really good, really fun bangers. Honestly, I was half expecting this album to just be an overabundance of Ultimate clones, and while it does maintain the energy of that one song for its full duration, it feels like it's so much more than that. Really, in the ... read more

You gotta love Denzel Curry. The guy literally made a damn good album with a great producer in only a 24 hour period.

Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats really work together so well. After hearing this, I'm convinced that Denzel could really benefit from making more albums with Kenny Beats. While this isn't my favourite album that Denzel has worked on, I do think this is his best produced project, and there are a lot of songs on here that are straight-up amazing. Honestly, aside from maybe the ... read more

I hate to be that guy who just has to have the opposite opinion to everyone else, but I really don't see this as anything special.

Thy Catafalque really created something unique with Naiv. It's really easy to see the appeal of this album. The avant-garde nature of the record makes it feel otherworldly at times, making some of the songs really shine and feel completely original. Yet at the same time, I found myself not really caring about this album. No matter how much I listen to this album, ... read more

What will probably (hopefully) be my least favourite Lou Reed album, Rock And Roll Heart is known as one of Lou Reed's earliest failures. If you put aside the extremely unjustifiably overhated Metal Machine Music, then this would probably be Reed's most universally disliked record (aside from Lulu, of course). And honestly, all it takes is one listen to understand why so many people think this is one of Lou Reed's weakest outings.

Honestly, Rock And Roll Heart is stupidly inoffensive. Just ... read more

British Steel is one of the many Judas Priest classics which is often brought up in the discussion of the best metal albums of all time. With its iconic album cover that everyone has seen at some point in their life and two undeniable classics in Breaking The Law and Living After Midnight, you would really expect that this album would end up really deserving its recognition amongst Priest's best releases. But all these years later it seems that its perception has done a complete 180, with most ... read more

Bob Dylan goes back to a more acoustic sound, but instead of the more traditional acoustic folk from his early releases, this album feels more like he's leaning into the country genre. And honestly, him going back to an acoustic sound after three amazing electric rock albums ended up working better than I expected, and when I already had pretty high expectations for this thing to begin with you know that you have something special here.

When I found out that John Wesley Harding was the album ... read more

After my first listen of this thing, my first instinct was to re-listen to Nimrod and Dookie to remind myself that these guys once made good music.

C'mon guys, this album isn't THAT bad! You're really going to sit there and tell me that THIS is a fucking 0? Really? That this is the WORST album Green Day has ever pumped out? Including all twelve of their previous albums where they just recreated the same two albums over and over again, this album where they actually try something new for the ... read more

I was debating about whether or not I actually review this, because this EP is essentially just one song and three skits, making it more of a single than anything.

Honestly, I like Momentary Bliss a lot. It isn't anywhere close to being one of Gorillaz's best songs or anything, but it's a fun, colourful song with all-round good performances. Slowthai's feature was great and actually made me consider checking out more of his work, and Slaves bring a cool punk feeling to the song making it all ... read more

Whitehouse crank up the edginess and prove that making the same album for the sixth time in a row doesn't become any more interesting because you add a Hitler speech somewhere in the middle of it.

So... I guess this isn't a complete failure? I mean, I would have thought that the worst release from a band like Whitehouse would have been near unlistenable, and while the noise is very unpleasant, that's pretty much what you expect from them at this point. The main problem I have with this album ... read more

Most see this as one Judas Priest's weakest '70s releases, but if you ask me this is actually their best '70s release.

After the band were impressed by James Guthrie's production on their song Better By You, Better Than Me on their previous album, Stained Class, they hired him to produce this full album, which resulted in their most accessible and commercial sound up to this point. As a result, the album got a really mixed reception. Most see this album as a disappointingly safe record, which ... read more

Bob Dylan creates a double album filled with some of the best songs in his entire career, and I have to say, at the moment this may be my favourite release from him.

Blonde On Blonde really doesn't need any introduction at this point. The cover art is easily one of the most iconic of all time, and the album itself is arguably more well known than his far more critically successful Highway 61 Revisited. The chances are that you've either already heard this album or you've at least seen the ... read more

After some brief experimentation, Lou Reed goes back to his more accessible pop/art rock sound that he went for in Sally Can't Dance, really perfecting the sound as well as actually combining the songwriting that made him such an incredible artist in the first place. The result is a damn beautiful record and one of his most essential outings.

Coney Island Baby may be far from my favourite project that Reed worked on, but that doesn't mean that this album isn't worth the time. For its short run ... read more

How do you fuck up covering your own songs?

I feel like I'm one of the only people who is on the fence with Breaking Benjamin as a band. They seem to be a band who you either despise or absolutely love, but I've always seen them as nothing more than an inoffensive alt rock group. Like most people, I grew up liking their music, but my knowledge of their catalog was nothing more than just a handful of songs, and even they left such a little impact on me that I don't remember their names, their ... read more
