Built to Spill - Keep It Like a Secret
96

After being completely floored by the sprawling epics of their previous work, this album feels like a brilliant and welcome change of focus. It’s a masterpiece of concision, packing all of that same guitar wizardry and heartfelt songwriting into these perfectly crafted, melodic indie rock gems. It’s a warmer, more immediate record, but it never sacrifices the incredible, layered complexity that makes this band so special. "Carry the Zero" is, without exaggeration, one of ... read more

Galaxie 500 - On Fire
98

This album feels like a foundational text I didn't know I was missing. It's the absolute blueprint for so much of the sad, beautiful, and hazy music that I cherish. It’s a work of stunning, understated beauty, where every note feels essential. The slow, deliberate pace and the reverb-drenched guitars create this perfect, melancholic atmosphere that is just so comforting to sink into. It’s a quiet, perfect, and profoundly honest record that feels like it’s been in my ... read more

Talking Heads - Remain in Light
97

This album is a masterpiece of both intellectual and physical energy. I was not prepared for how completely hypnotic and immersive this record is.

It’s a dense, anxious, and endlessly inventive work of art that is both a thrilling puzzle to unpack and an impossible force to not move to. A foundational and absolutely essential ... read more

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West
97

This is a sprawling, chaotic, and breathtakingly brilliant American epic. It’s the sound of a vast, lonely landscape, endless highways, and the desperate, beautiful ramblings of a uniquely poetic mind. It’s a beautifully frayed and incredibly ambitious record, full of jagged energy, moments of quiet desolation, and some of the most memorable and insightful lyrics I've ever heard. It’s not just an album; it’s an entire world to get lost in. A raw, sprawling, and ... read more

Weezer - Pinkerton
98

This is a raw, exposed nerve of a record, and it is absolutely perfect. It’s a masterpiece of unflinching honesty, a beautifully messy and cathartic confession of longing, frustration, and awkwardness. The album sheds all polish for a raw, fuzzy, and incredibly powerful sound that feels so immediate and real. It’s not always a comfortable listen, but its brutal vulnerability is precisely where its genius lies. It’s one of the most courageous and deeply human rock records ever ... read more
