No one wanted this. No one asked for this. Why did they make this? I’m going to continue pretending that this doesn’t exist and hopefully forget about it.

While I wouldn't call Made In Heaven a bad album, it's not really all that great compared to Innuendo, especially as a final effort. Personally, I think it's a huge misstep, considering Innuendo already felt like a final album, and a great one at that. Made In Heaven, although not insulting or disrespectful, just lacks anything amazing like the previous album did. For the most part, this album was dull, but there were a couple of tracks on here that were really good. The title track and Heaven ... read more
This is the perfect way to end one of the best bands of all time. Innuendo is a great album and a great final project to Freddie Mercury and Queen as a whole. It's really too bad that the rest of the band went on to create Made In Heaven after Freddie had already died, because this really just feels like a final album, and one of the best ones of a group as famous as Queen.

The Miracle is the first time in Queen's discography that I can say is actually boring - most of the tracks on here are extremely generic and are just dull and uninteresting. In fact, if it wasn't for the two songs I Want It All and the title track then I would call this a complete waste of time.
Favourite Tracks: I Want It All; The Miracle; Was It All Worth It; Khashoggi's Ship
Least Favourite Tracks: My Baby Does Me; Party
This is perhaps the most underrated Queen album. Although there are a few tracks on A Kind Of Magic that don't hold up well compared to the rest of their discography, for the most part it's amazing track after amazing track. There are actually a couple of songs on here that I would say are pretty high up in Queen's top best songs.
As an album as a whole, it's clearly not Queen's best, but it is still a really enjoyable album.

First of all, there is no question that Damn. is no where near as good as To Pimp A Butterfly or good kid, m.A.A.d city - I have no argument against that. But this album is still a great listen. Tracks like Fear and Duckworth prove that Kendrick's lyrics are as good as ever, and the beats on all the songs are all great too. I agree that the lack of a focused concept makes this less intriguing as his previous two albums, but it's still a really enjoyable album with a lot of great ... read more
You know that an artist is good when even their B-sides are worth hearing. As the title suggests, 'untitled unmastered.' is filled with unfinished songs that were supposed to be on To Pimp A Butterfly. This is definitely the weakest record in Kendrick's discography, but saying that it's bad would be giving it a disservice. This was an incredibly enjoyable listen that is definitely worth the time.

The Works certainly redeems Queen from their previous two disasters that were Flash Gordon and Hot Space. This album is one of the few in Queen's discography that I can say doesn't have a song that I dislike. However, whilst I can say that I like all of the tracks on here, I do have to say that I really don't care about the album as a whole. It's fun and entertaining, but this really isn't the best in their catalog and I really don't see myself coming back to this anywhere near as much as other ... read more
What the hell happened here? It's a shame that Under Pressure is on here - it's actually an amazing song, but everything else on here are just boring party songs. Other than the final song, the quality of the tracks ranges from mediocre to just bad.
Favourite Tracks: Under Pressure; Staying Power; Action This Day
Least Favourite Tracks: Body Language; Calling All Girls
This is an example of a time where the movie is worse than the soundtrack, but the soundtrack is still bad.
Flash Gordon is mainly just quotes from the movie played over dull instrumentals. There really isn't much saving this album, but I do have to say that tracks like Football Fight and Battle Theme do have some really fun instrumentals, and Freddie's appearances on Flash's Theme and The Hero easily make them the best song on the album.
To be honest, I wouldn't say that my score completely ... read more
To be honest, I kinda went into this expecting to be that one guy who just didn't like the album. With all the hype surrounding this this, how could it possibly be this good? Well, I'm extremely glad that I was completely wrong. Titanic Rising is a gorgeous album - a phenomenal record that deserves all the praise it gets.
Right from the get go, the track A Lot's Gonna Change just grabbed me and made me incredibly excited to see where this album would take me. But it wasn't until around the ... read more
While it isn't bad, The Game is far from the best thing in Queen's discography. In fact, I'd say that the big hits are really the only thing that elevate the score up so high for me. I honestly didn't enjoy many of the other songs too much. It's overall bland and lacks energy, but some of these songs are so good that I can't dislike this album. Also, I would say that most of the tracks that I didn't like were fairly inoffensive, so it's not like there's anything absolutely terrible on here, ... read more
To be honest, I feel like I'm being a bit too generous with this album. I think that songs like Fat Bottomed Girls and Jealousy are some of the best Queen songs, and Don't Stop Me Now was the song that introduced me to Queen and remains my favourite Queen track of all time. Yet at the same time, most of the other tracks I don't really care about, and I don't see myself coming back to them at all. However, every track on here, including the ones on my least favourites, were all an incredibly fun ... read more
I want to start this off by saying that this is, without question, an amazing album. The sound is amazing and the lyrics are even better. However, my main complaint, and the thing stopping this from being a 9, is that this isn't as enjoyable as good kid, m.A.A.d city. In some ways, it's better than that album. Hell, probably lyrics alone I would say is better. But I just didn't enjoy listening to this as much, nor do I come back to this one nearly as much.

Kendrick Lamar's second album is easily one of the greatest hip hop albums of the 2010s, and one of my favourites of all time. I don't even like hip hop too much, and even I love this album. Everything on here is amazing: the lyrics, the production, the sound. I love almost every song on here. However, I really don't like Real: I don't know why, it just doesn't really do anything for me. Other than that, this album is just a masterpiece.

Section.80 is a great and often overlooked album. Although it isn't Kendrick's best work, it's still a really good listen. As always, Kendrick's lyrics are really well written, and you can definitely sense what would come later just by judging from this release. Whilst I can't say that I like all of the songs on here, I do think that, for the most part, they're all really good.

After finally receiving the CD, I can definitely say that, considering this is a demo, this exceeded all expectations from me. I don't even care that this is a demo, this is great, and has gotten me incredibly excited for the real album.
In fact, I pretty much enjoyed all of the tracks on here. My only complaint is that I feel that Amnesia is kinda just filler. Although I'm all for them remaking the song in the new album, I feel like the original version is already a great song and this demo ... read more
News Of The World is best known for its too big hits, but even without We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions this is a great album. In fact, if it wasn't for a couple of songs, I would say that this would be an easy 9/10. Also, I can't deny that We Will Rock You in particular has become so overplayed that even I can't stand listening to it anymore. But other than that, this album is mostly great track after great track.

It's clear that Queen were trying to make something different from A Night At The Opera, and while the result is still a good album, it ends up being a significant drop in quality, at least in my opinion. Whilst A Day At The Races is home to some of Queen's best work, I can't help but think that this album is just not as memorable, replayable and overall just not as enjoyable as their previous work. Albums like A Night At The Opera; like Sheer Heart Attack; hell, even Queen II was a more ... read more

"@ClayDJs03 "hate" was waaay too strong a word for me to have used back then. Honestly quite surprised I did lol. The only SOAD song I ever really "hated" was Old School Hollywood. But anyway, as far as some of the tracks I used to dislike, I guess I sorta just lightened up. She's Like Heroin is still probably bottom 5 SOAD, and Kill Rock 'n Roll is a bop even if it's silly. The others I listed as least favs I honestly don't really know why I did. Two of them are some of the most memorable on the album, and Stealing Society, though one of the most forgettable in their discog, is a banger.
The album itself is still my least fav SOAD. Too many tracks that are just blatantly forgettable or simply filler, and it's such a drop from Mezmerize."

On Ramin Djawadi - House of the Dragon: Season 2
"And Helaena being a dreamer was one of the worst decisions in this show so far lol. It's blatantly them making an "out" so they can do whatever with her character and have it make sense, i.e. her not grieving her son, and eventually killing herself, "because I saw it in a dream.""
On Ramin Djawadi - House of the Dragon: Season 2
"@ClayDJs03 I think (unfortunately) you hit the nail on the head with the writers wanting to double down on the misogyny, which is a shame considering George generally does a great job of tackling the subject in his books, even in the Dance of Dragons. All this whitewashing has ironically done the opposite of their intention; removing the agency of literal Queens, having the men in their lives make the hard decisions that come with war and having the women fight against it and act like they had no say in the matter, to me, that's way more misogynistic than, y'know, having your women characters actually make impulsive, emotional, even catastrophic decisions. Rhaenyra especially is so pathetic this season after that final shot in S1."
On Ramin Djawadi - House of the Dragon: Season 2
"And yeah, that was the very moment in the finale I noped out lmao. Them meeting not once, but TWICE is such a tumblr fanfic moment that I can't believe made it past LITERAL PROFESSIONAL SCREENWRITERS. "Yeah, just have disputing Queens sail across the sea during wartime, not face any troubles along the way, and safely face their adversary and make their way back home in the span of a single day. That makes perfect sense." And Alicent selling out her son... Jesus fuck, idk how they managed to butcher such incredible characters in such a short time. They did NOT care and it shows."
On Ramin Djawadi - House of the Dragon: Season 2
"@ClayDJs03 Yeah, liking it as a book fan is sheer lunacy lmao. Of course the brutality is toned down, but also distancing Rhaenyra's participation. It gets hard to view her as the grief-stricken mother and LITERAL QUEEN that she's supposed to be when the impulsive decisions that make her so compelling in the books are trivialized down to "actually it was the men in her life who made those decisions. She's rational actually." And like you mention, the horrors inflicted on Helaena are so minimalized, but then after the fact they don't even give her a storyline dealing with the grief. I legitimately believe B&C was handled awfully, not just the event itself, but the entire lead-up and stream of consequences afterwards no longer making sense."
On Ramin Djawadi - House of the Dragon: Season 2
"@ClayDJs03 That blog was so vindicating, the contents and HBO's response so bemusing. Helaena killing herself for the lols will certainly be a choice. (I was also so glad he spent the whole post trashing Blood & Cheese. I felt crazy, being the only person I know (even fellow book fans) legitimately thinking that was executed well and not a bastardization on the level of GOT's S5 and 6 portrayal of Dorne and the Iron Islands.)"

"@zzile "point out that its your opinion" - you're on a music reviewing site. Any takes had pertaining music is implied to be the opinion of the take haver. If you need every single criticism to be prefaced with "this is just MY opinion," that says more about your insecurity of your own takes than it does the reviewer.
"state what you consider the obvious, get likes and peace out" - fat load of good that did me. 4 likes in 5 years!
"your ass knows nothing about the way i review albums" - the irony. Let me point out once more; this is a 5 year old review you're seething on.
