Iggy Pop - Lust For Life
82

Iggy Pop's vocals are really something else. This is a banger garage rock record. Sixteen has questionable lyrics, this is known, but it's otherwise still great. It was the '70s. A-

Supertramp - Breakfast in America
82

Very fun pop rock goodness, but it definitely gets redundant. The piano is crazy tho...A-

Iggy Pop - The Idiot
88

Dostoyevskiye reference amirite...this is the real start to the Berlin trilogy, tho. Bowie and Pop's collaboration is really one of the best things to happen to rock music history, A+

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85–92
100

It's difficult to say anything bad about this collection of ambient IDM tracks, really just foundational shit. Perfect S+

Ween - The Mollusk
93

strokin' my ween listening to this. Mutilated Lips is unfiltered briny peak... S-

Handsome Boy Modeling School - Music To Drink Martinis To
95

I was shocked by this, crazy good production. Can't rate the tracks tho, and it's unfortunate you can't rlly stream this anywhere. This is probably the duo's most consistent project, more ppl should discuss it. Wonderful, soothing beats. How Does It Feel? has some crazy Interpol/Gorillaz vibes i was definitely not expecting. S

Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People
76

Not as good as their debut LP, but a very fun crop of tracks nonetheless. Best 60 dollars you ever spend...B

Handsome Boy Modeling School - So... How's Your Girl?
99

Probably my favorite album of all time.

Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People (Instrumental Version)
60

Midnight and Runway Song Part 2 are both great, and probably should've been on the original LP. Otherwise, it's a little sloppy---the vocals really tie a lot of these instrumentals together. C-

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
94

Insanely consistent classic rock, deserves its reputation. Obvi stairway to heaven is the standout, but the guitar on this is ethereal all the way through. S

Pink Floyd - Meddle
97

It's got some issues at the end of side A (this is known). But as an ambient prog rock record, this is about the best you can get. Echoes is undeniably the pinnacle of Pink Floyd as prog pioneers, even if following records like WYWH and Animals are fantastic (DOGS!!). Echoes is like the fourth best song of all time, and the only better prog song is Starless. Anyways. S+

Swans - Filth
70

Incredibly strange album, but it really works when you let it crawl beneath your skin. Noise rock is weird, and this is loopy as fuck. But i fw loopy. B-

Aphex Twin - Collapse EP
80

Although no clear standout exists on this EP, it's wonderfully consistent IDM. We need another Aphex Twin album in the big '26...A-

Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
74

Nice EP with its all too familiar insane aphex "experimentation." The famous ones are the best ones, obvi, but the rest is pretty nice too. Overall B

Radiohead - OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017
NR

This is undeniably one of the best collections of alt-rock tracks ever released.

Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings
84

This is how you do a live album! A nice collection of live kid a/mnesiac era tracks, I especially like the arrangement on Everything in its Right Place. Radiohead needs more excessively long songs, lol. True Love Waits is the "centerpiece" that this album is so beloved for, but to me this acoustic version feels like a pretty uninspired Creep 2. Glad they put off a full release until AMSP, that post-rock piano arrangement is immaculate. A

Radiohead - The King of Limbs
79

This is frankly extremely enjoyable loop-based prog radiohead. Too progressive for most of y'all, lmao, but still a great album. Could've been longer though, and the only real "standout" is lotus flower, even if it's consistently pretty great. B+

Radiohead - NOTOK
76

The OK Computer era was so excellent that the B-sides, even without the previously unreleased first three tracks, would make a great EP. Most of these tracks are justified as B-sides, however--- a lot of these would not fit the album and its "concept" despite being great tracks. Wish we could've done something a little different with electioneering and cutw tho. B

Radiohead - In Rainbows Disk 2
70

In Rainbows b-sides, which are good, but definitely did not deserve a place on the album. Glad this got an EP release though, songs like Bangers + Mash are super underrated. Otherwise a fine collection. B-

Radiohead - Kid Amnesiae
70

A nice little collection of unused material from the Kid A/mnesiac sessions. Not a lot to dig beneath the surface here, but the singles and alternate versions are great. B-
