Radiohead - Amnesiac
77

- I don't get the hype; 77
- Weird, genre-breaking, sharp sounds, nasally and floating vocals, lacking a sense of composition
- No, don't loop
- Forgettable album art that doesn't help a forgettable album
- Anyone getting into Radiohead who hasn't listened to some of the less popular records
- Doesn't contribute much to the discography
- It's called "Kid A B-Sides" but I don't much agree with that since the two albums have very separate ... read more

Steely Dan - Aja
97

- Near perfect; 97
- Decade-defining, the band's peak, smooth, jazzy, a wonderful midlife crisis
- It's 40 minutes and it's a wonderful loop
- Iconic album art. Although not my favorite nor the best, it's Aja
- Probably your father or grandpa, but honestly anyone familiar with the band knows this album
- It is their best and most consistent record, without a doubt, not to mention the perfect follow-up to The Royal Scam
- Where TRS is brash and oddball, Aja is smooth and ... read more

Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
87

- Sending it; 87
- Refined Radiohead sounds, variety in the subtle, distinct songs and titles, a wonderful dream full of change instead of pure bliss
- Easy loop even if you only dislike 3-4 songs
- One of their best album arts for its simplicity and yet strong, fitting imagery
- You can share this with people that are looking to expand their musical tastes
- The album to bookend a journey, and fittingly the most somber and mature
- One of their strongest entries as it leans in to that floaty ... read more

The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention
84

- Full clarity: not the biggest Radiohead fan; 84
- Weird, long, partially distinct, fun drums, haunting melodies, usual Yorke craziness
- 13 tracks and 53 minutes? Nah, I'm not looping this one, og
- The album art definitely screams Yorke
- Just tell them "it's by the Radiohead people" and they'll try it, so I guess friends and some family
- I consider this both an extension of Yorke's disco but also the first entry for The Smile
- This is an incredibly strong and ... read more

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Eyes Like The Sky
100

- This is my truth; 100
- One of the coolest concept albums ever, enjoyable, fun, honest, wacky, timeless, perfect
- Easy loop. No doubt about it
- I want this album art on a t-shirt
- Honestly, share and send it to anyone you can, become annoying about it
- People hate, but this is the goat
- Like Gizz's other concept albums, this one has such a stark identity that really makes it stand out, especially among the more lukewarm entries
People hate fun. People hate things being different. ... read more

late night drive home - Am I sinking or Am I swimming?
75

- Not bad, not entirely great; 75
- Classic indie rock vibes, angsty singing, all the songs are about relationships, pretty average
- Loop potential barring the blotch that the 3rd track is
- LNDH has very inconsistent art, but I love the reds and the scribbling
- People who are chill about rock or college students
- LNDH's first composed effort, and, while dated, represented a very multi-faced sound for a while
- Their first *actual* album, How Are We Feeling, is definitely a better ... read more

Mega Drive - Sleeper Street
100

- If I rate it any lower I'll be put to sleep; 100
- Creepy, atmospheric, perfectly length, storytelling titles, and chilling vibes that last years
- LOOP THIS SHIT NOW!!!!
- Actually disturbing album art (Texas Chainsaw Massacre WISHES it was this good)
- Share it with horror aficionados or like that cool aunt
- A wonderful entry to Mega Drive's discography and one of the most unique (Silent Memories isn't on YT so doesn't count)
- It's his best project to date, a ... read more

Death Cab for Cutie - Kintsugi
75

- A difficult departure with a rocky land; 75
- New sound and tones, traditional Death Cab pop lyrics, the album that marked change
- Honestly, if you like at least half of the album, a loop is kinda nice
- Ehhh, lame album art
- Share it with anyone that likes the band just to hear what they say
- Despite its infamy and reception, it adds a pleasant afterthought to Code & Keys
- I want to expand on the fact that post Code & Keys, this has been the best album. Even best of the worst is ... read more

Steely Dan - The Lost Gaucho
80

- Sure is lost media; 80
- Bangers, scuffed audio, goofy tracks, infamy, Fagen on the cover (trust me bro)
- Fuck yeah loop it who gives a shit
- Honestly, better than Gaucho's
- Don't share this with the elderly it will KILL them, but yeah Dan Fans
- Lost tracks that were cruelly taken from us
- There are actually solid songs among the list
It's difficult to rate what is, technically, unofficial and poorly mixed music. What's important to remember is that, with each album ... read more

Iron & Wine - Weed Garden
75

- 2018 release date; 75
- Short, episodic entries of different emotions and experiences
- Not an EP to loop even if you like every song
- Absolutely adore the album art. It's one of my favorites from him
- Share it with friends and family, maybe there's a song for a funeral here
- The 2-3 songs you'll like add a sweet touch his discography
- A pleasant extension to Beast Epic or Woman King
Post Beast Epic Iron & Wine is difficult to gauge for me. I think this EP can be very ... read more

Iron & Wine - Archive Series Volume No. 1
73

- Mixed feelings; 73
- Softspoken, sibling album to "Creek Drank The Cradle", confused, too long, wide range of quality.
- It's easy to lose your place in the album, and not in a good way IE wouldn't loop
- Beautiful album art. Probably the best out of the Archive Series
- Share it with family and close friends
- The aforementioned sibling album but also represents the earliest years of his writing and singing
- It contributes a couple of incredibly song tracks ... read more

Adam Skorupa & Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz - Ancestors Legacy
93

- Impressive; 93
- Brooding, powerful, twangy, melancholic, and victorious with battle cries and rich history
- Loopable as well as shuffable
- Album art is just the same for the game
- People who like history and soundtracks? I guess?
- Honestly I think this was a stronger entry to the pair's disco than the Witcher 2 or the recent Hellish Quart
- You can see the growth and refinement of their sounds from this to Hellish Quart
Nobody knows about this soundtrack so I can't be wrong ... read more

Dio - Strange Highways
84

- Undeserved infamy; 85
- Doom metal, piercing guitar, drum-centric mixing, and devilish lyrics
- Has loop potential, but it's 53 minute run time is a tall order
- Perfectly fits the album, and is satanic enough
- Dio fans and metal heads. Be prepared for pushback
- Honestly it's a fresh break from Dio's other albums
- For me, it's a top 4 Dio album
I do not understand the hate for this album. Do people realize saturated the discography was? Sacred Heart? Angry Machines? ... read more

Manwolves - A Safety Meeting
97

- An album like no other; 97
- Carefree, catchy lyrics, groovy and jazzy tunes, and the capsuled memories of free and wonderful days
- I've lost count of how many times I've looped this album. Do it
- Trademark Manwolves style. Odd and colorful
- Share it with anyone who'll listen LMAO
- Manwolves' first album, and it's incredibly strong
- While the tasteful trumpet and more swingy sounds aren't as prominent in their music now, it still represents a delightful and ... read more

Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn of Events
55

- Nah; 55
- Difficult, unfocused, forgettable, and all around a rough start to an understandably difficult shift in tone and composition
- Nah don't loop it
- Goofy ahh clown on a tightrope. Typical DT tbh
- Share it with some metal heads, but mostly going through the DT discography
- Represents the shift with the new drummer and a sound that just doesn't have the same soul
- While this is not the worst album with Mangini (the horror of "The Astonishing") they did get more ... read more

GoGo Penguin - A Humdrum Star
82

- Potent; 82
- Dense, individualistic, striking sounds that are well contrasted with somber, slower paces
- Could loop, although not the best GoGo Penguin album to do so
- Okay album art, a bit too abstract
- Share it with people who like jazz-adjacent genres or math rock nerds
- A strong entry to the band's discography, it represents an important point in their evolution
- A sibling album to Man Made Object for some reason
Confident, creative, and deep. GoGo Penguin is no stranger to ... read more

Thomas Newman - 1917
97

- True wonder; 97
- Complex and deep, upswelling emotions that haunt battlefields and tragedies
- If it's alongside the movie, yes. It's like a film you'll rewatch, and focus on the soundtrack with any subsequent viewings
- Eh, it's the trailer art, so it's nothing new
- Share it with any soundtrack-heads or people who enjoy subtlety
- Easily one of Newman's best work, without a doubt. Shows maturity
- Even though the soundtrack lost to Marriage Story's, ... read more

Anubis [France] - Cradle Of Civilization
70

- Nothing new; 70
- Traditional desert synth sounds, limited by self-imposed restraints, says what it is on the tin
- I'd get tired by a single loop, and it's not even a long album
- Album's art pretty dope and accurately depicts the contents
- You don't share this album. You share a playlist of Desert Synth and this is one of the inclusions
- This is Anubis' only release, and it doesn't offer much to an obscure yet somehow already oversaturated genre
- If Anubis ... read more

Feng Suave - Warping Youth
95

- Incredibly close to perfect; 95
- It's bliss, remorse, grief, tragedy, and optimism. A medley of emotions
- You can loop this album all day. I certainly did when I first listened
- Simple and nice album art
- Share it with friends and family; easy listening
- The band's best release, and the effort shows with the album's cohesion
- Best entry album for the band, without a doubt
Great albums define periods of life. They're the music that plays when the memories flood back. ... read more

Ziggurath - True North
90

- Yes please; 90
- "Less is More" storytelling, haunting vibes, soothing when it wants to be, memorable
- Not an album to loop on account of the length and the completion of the journey
- Incredibly good album art. The chill and the cold stillness is depicted perfectly
- I wouldn't share this with family nor most friends. If you know someone who likes ambiance, they should give it a shot
- Easily the strongest, and most unique release yet from Ziggurath
- I am excited to see what ... read more
