The Rapture - Echoes
80

no one else loves it, but I love it.

Burial - Untrue
82

It's like you're listening to house music while you've got your head underwater.

100

Hey I get Death Grips now, I can join the elite club and leave the musical dark ages and have a medal and stuff. Pat self on back, well done matey. I just go snoot at some folks, call them normie, be right back.

Bruiser Wolf - Dope Game Stupid
80

He's right when he says 'no one sounds like this'. It's like he's a slider from a timeline where Erik B & Rakim never existed.

Danny Brown - Quaranta
100

It's great, and yes, being 40 is a bit crappy. I look forward to cinquanta which will be about not giving a shit at 50, Atrocity Exhibition with grandkids and diabetes, It'll be awesome.

Pallbearer - Mind Burns Alive
60

It's ok. I don't know why I don't like it very much but I don't. It doesn't sound like Doom Metal to me and I found it a bit boring. I probably need to listen to their earlier albums - the Pallbearer True Fans appear to rate those much more.

Porridge Radio - Every Bad
73

Reminds me of Dresden Dolls. Is Sweet about meeting biological mother for the first time? I don't know.

ZillaKami - DOG BOY
80

Pretty good, but why does it make me think of Crazy Town?

N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton
100

How can you not give this 100? Because it's sexist and homophobic? They're the best bits.

Stormzy - Gang Signs & Prayer
85

When it's great it's great, but when it's boring it is very, very boring. I don't need the following tracks: Blinded By Your Grace Pt1, Velvet, Cigarettes & Cush, Blinded By Your Grace Pt2... If these tracks mysteriously went missing I could give this 100 points.

System of a Down - Mezmerize
100

Every System of a Down album is perfect.

Nujabes - Modal Soul
100

What's better, this or donuts? I don't know.

Snow Ghosts - A Quiet Ritual
100

Exactly the sort of thing I like, how can I not give it 100. A folky singer with some weird cellos and NIN type noises going on. And there's a Carnyx in there somewhere, and I wouldn't be suprised if there's a Hurdy-Gurdy. What's not to love.

Wind Atlas - Lingua Ignota
77

A bit slow at times but also interesting. Another reviewer called it gothic rock, but it sounds more folky to me. But I guess there are some very The Cure type moments. Deserves more than 5 ratings. And definitely deserves a score higher that 55.

Title Fight - Floral Green
69

It's fine, but I also got bored and was confused reading all the other reviews. That happens sometimes.

Citizen - Life In Your Glass World
78

Just some solid indie-rock type stuff. And it never really dips in quality. I very much enjoyed Fight Beat, which everyone else seems to think is the low point of the album.

Dio - Holy Diver
83

I gave it 83 because it was released in 83.

Sleater-Kinney - The Woods
100

For some reason it reminds me of The Pretenders.

Can - Tago Mago
69

Right, first half is pretty great, but then there's about fifteen minutes of Aumgn that as far as my poxy ears can tell is just random noise, and for the next two tracks after that it just continues to be pretty damn close to 'not music'.

Brian Wilson - SMiLE
65

I sort of don't get it. There's slide whistles in it. Pretty good at times though, like on Our Prayer and when Mrs. O'Leary's Cow goes all weird and ominous. Best Album Ever Made according to some.
