Iron Maiden - Powerslave
95

What a beast of an album here, just everything on full throttle. Creativity, power, energy, songwriting, fucking epicness. Just one of the most uplifting and blood pumping metal albums, even as old as it is. Some of the heaviest, chugging riffs in heavy metal, bass makes its presence known and is part of why I love Maiden so much, the bass is the pulse of the band. Drumming here is also top notch, and the progressive elements are just absurd. The way they transition from the verse chorus ... read more

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
84

solid as hell debut, now this is the type of “heavy metal” I like. Fast and creative, with non-annoying vocals. Maiden discography runthrough???

Best: Phantom of the Opera, Remember Tomorrow
Worst: Running Free

TOOL - Undertow
91

Undeniably groovy first album, so fantastic and shows the start of what is to come. No weak tracks besides the experimental closer “Disgustipated”.

Best Tracks: Prison Sex, Sober, Crawl Away
Worst: Disgustipated, Flood.

UNDERRATED PICK: 4 Degrees

Deftones - Adrenaline
86

Such a solid album. Insane groove and vocal range from Chino, hardcore nu metal riffs chugging along, and a great raw sound for the band. So nice

Radiohead - In Rainbows
99

Come on guys its peak what can I say

Radiohead - The King of Limbs
85

It’s great, don’t listen to King of Limbs deniers đŸ€« Feral is bad but thats really it. Separator and Lotus Flower are some of the best songs Radiohead have ever put out.
They really have nothing else that sounds like this, maybe small parts of Kid A/Amnesiac but it’s kind of its own monster!

Playboi Carti - MUSIC
81

on a first listen, its way better than I was expecting. Like its actually pretty good besides a couple pretty obvious misses in the second half. need to give it more listens to give a more detailed opinion

Casino Versus Japan - Go Hawaii
98

life is never this beautiful, but why can’t we just pretend for a little while? It makes it all feel better in the long-run.

Limp Bizkit - Three Dollar Bill, Yall$
85

Just sum fun ass nu metal man. Put it on, don’t take it seriously, and listen to Wes Borland play his sick ass riffs. Great gym album, just straight dumb mosh energy all the way through. The weaker moments are “Clunk” which just isn’t memorable at all, and Stink Finger. Indigo Flow gets saved by its ending.

Best Tracks: Counterfeit, Stuck, Faith, Stalemate
Worst: Stink Finger

UNDERRATED PICK: Nobody Loves Me

PS: Everything is a pretty mellow post-rock closer. check ... read more

Yes - Close to the Edge
95

Not one I go back to often (Prog is kinda like that), but I’m thoroughly blown away every time. Siberian Khatru sounds like some shit Masayoshi Takanaka ended up doing. Title track is obviously phenomenal, and the short track list of this thing here makes these three songs feel monumental and important. Just a fantastic and immersive experience, accessible to casual rock fans and technical nerds alike

Best tracks: all

Korn - Requiem
70

A weird spot to end… I like it… but not as much as I thought. The first two tracks are classic modern Korn, but it all kind of falls a little bit shorter after that? Except the closer. It’s definitely a modern Korn album, might need to listen a little more to fully formulate how I feel.

Done with Korn huh… man I’ve been doing this discog for months now. Oh well, who next?

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
89

Radiohead go back to alternative rock, and who could’ve guessed they still do it great! This is the Radiohead album with the most variety by far. It has Jonny Greenwood carried shredders, Thom lead electronic bleeps and bloops, some folkier songs, sone ballads, hell this album has everything Radiohead is known for!

Some of their best is featured here, like “There, There,” “A Wolf At The Door,” and one of my personal favorites “Go To Sleep.” It drops ... read more

Radiohead - Amnesiac
93

Not as good as Kid A, but that’s an unfair comparison because this is still one of my favorites. While on one hand you can tell it was made during the Kid A sessions, on another, none of these songs feel like they would work on that album.

This album has one of my undisputed top 5 Radiohead tracks in “I Might Be Wrong”, almost sounding like a post-apocalyptic take on Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus”, as well as some personal favorites like “Packt Like ... read more

Radiohead - Kid A
100

I mean, It’s an incredibly mood dependent album. About 90% of the time, I’d probably rather listen to In Rainbows or OK Computer. But everyone who loves this album knows, when you want it, there’s nothing else quite like it that’ll ever satisfy that itch. And when you are at that point, there’s nothing else like the experience provided here. Just simply beautiful.

Treefingers is also the best sleep ambient song, so peaceful.

Best Tracks: The National Anthem, ... read more

Radiohead - The Bends
92

It’s big, its emotional, its heavy, its Pablo Honey’s slightly more mature older brother, replacing angst with realization and bitter reality. It’s still on the weaker half of their catalog, and I’m giving it a score in the 90’s. Needless to say it’s an iconic Alt rock staple and progression for Radiohead towards becoming one of the best bands of the 90’s and 2000’s.

P.S. : Listen to this albums B-Sides, fucking fantastic, specifically Talk Show ... read more

Radiohead - Pablo Honey
70

Alright, I’m saying it. With time, even though this is still the groups weakest effort, I like Pablo Honey. I’ve come to believe Radiohead have no weak efforts. “But how? This album us so mid AOTY user Oven”. No, no, no, my sweet summer child, you simply have the wrong perspective. We all know Radiohead would move on to do bigger things. Creatively, this is probably their least innovative and adventurous album, yes, I will agree with that common consensus. It is your ... read more

Radiohead - OK Computer
98

Slightly slightly top half heavy, but come on, its OK Computer. It got a lot of us into more music we weren’t into before. It’s like THE starting place for critically acclaimed music. Revisiting after transferring my ratings between RYM and AOTY retold me what we all already know. This album is peak, I’m sure I’ll be listening for the rest of my life. Also. Do not sleep on Electioneering. That shit bangs.

Key Tracks: Let Down, Paranoid Android, Subterranean Homesick ... read more

Gorillaz - Gorillaz
98

Don’t listen to what anyone says about this album, it lives up to the next two in its atmosphere and creativity, and is my favorite of the three. A cold walk down the city streets at night, essential and oozes early 2000’s

OutKast - ATLiens
98

Probably my favorite rap album of all time. Just all around near flawless and not a single bad track on here.

Key Tracks: Elevators, ATLiens, Millenium
UNDERRATED PICKS: Decatur Psalm, Mainstream

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
91

Slight, slight overrated, but I would be a liar if I said this wasn’t still a spectacular album. It’s slightly bloated, and its concept slightly loses me at times, but at its peak its some of the most profound, catchy, and thoughtful music put out.

Key Tracks: Wesley’s Theory, Alright

UNDERRATED PICK: Hood Politics
