this is so good for a debut album
its definitely one of my favourite albums of all time, even if theres 2 stinkers on here. all the other tracks appeal to me in a way only pierce the veil can
beautiful stuff

i love this album. i think its worth mentioning that this is and will always be Linkin Park's best effort
great and timeless album
fav tracks: One Step Closer, Crawling, Points of Authority, Forgotten, In the End, By Myself, With You
least fav: none
89 --> 94 (11/15/2024)
very fun record, peak emo soundcloud rap
shinigamis best effort to date!
84 --> 86
fav tracks: A Place Where I Belong, Faith in an Apparition, Rnrn, Violence in the Purest Form
least fav: +69xp!
interesting approach to hyperpop emo
unfortunately lyrics stink sometimes but the production makes up for it
pretty fun record but not shinigamis best
fav tracks: my world, blunt smoke in the club, spindash, access
least fav: disgusted
75 --> 85 (3/5/2026) shinigami supremacy
i was drinkin the silly potion when i first reviewed this
like Luna this album means a whole lot to me so im a little bias
i've always loved his more melodic stuff and his vocals (for the most part)
unlike Luna though this one has a few stinkers
fav tracks: the world that never was, skin deep, the anatomy of a razorblade
least fav: netherrealm, i gave the world my heart and all i have to show for it are scars and nightmares

this album meant a lot to 15 year old me, and still does to this day
its one of those where objectively it isnt the best, but theres a rawness to it that gives it some charm
a love it a lot for that. hits very close to home

almost peak deftones
only has one or two songs that lack in comparison but over its incredible
some of my fav Deftones tracks fall here too
fav tracks: all
least fav: none
91 --> 93 (4/1/2025)
never really liked this record as much as Deftones' previous 3, but still holds up really well
one of my fav Deftones songs pops up on here
falls flat and becomes a little boring at times though
fav tracks: Anniversary of an Uninteresting Event, Hexagram, Bloody Cape
least fav: Moana, Lucky You
i love everything about this
a timeless classic, their best album to date
holds my favourite song ever
fav tracks: all
least fav: none
98 --> 100 (3/2/2025) Recently saw Deftones live and it made me love them and this album so much more. this is peak deftones. perfect in every way
phenomenal album, contender for my fav album ever
no dull moments (excluding Blood), no boring or slow moments, every second of this is incredible
fav tracks: everything
least fav: none
97 --> 99 (4/29/2025) i relistened twice in one sitting cause i truly believed that this deserves 100, but the only thing stopping this from having a perfect score is that i think the second half of the album very very very slightly loses momentum (specifically in teenagers and disenchanted)
never heard another album that sounds like this one does, maybe thats a good thing
i hate destroya
fav tracks: Na Na Na, Vampire Money, S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
least fav: DESTROYA, Party Poison, SING, Planetary (GO!), Goodnite, Dr. Death
48 --> 45
45 --> 59 (5/6/2025) i was a little too harsh on it in my re-review, but this still kinds sucks. good handful are good though.
havent listened to this in its entirety in a while and i gotta say, on relisten it did improve ever so slightly
i think its because compared to AJRs later stuff, there isnt blaring electronic bullshit and annoying samples on every single track
thats not to say there isnt any electronic bullshit and annoying samples on here though, its still everywhere but slightly less so
unlike their later stuff, theres more than 1 or 2 bearable songs (theres like 3). and one of, if not THE worst song ... read more
unlike the records before this one, there are more than 1 listenable song
AJR does the same thing once again but figures out how to produce and mix music to make it sound good
The Trick is one of the worst songs ive ever heard ("I've got a girl, and she's 28. Now I'm the coolest guy in all the 8th grade.")
40 --> 33
fav tracks: 3 O'Clock Things
least fav: The Trick, Humpty Dumpty, Adventure Is Out There
on relisten, it improves the smallest bit
i recently relistened to living room, and after it somehow got better that time around, i thought it would be the same for this record too (only by like 8 points)
while mostly all these tracks are bad or even unlistenable, i've caught the smallest glimpse of positives in here (for example: i think the chorus on Next Up Forever is one of AJRs best moments in their entire discography, and same could be said with 2:12-2:39 in Birthday Party)
but ... read more
if i could travel back in time and ever stop myself from discovering AJR, i would
loved this band when i was about 12-14, definitely set my mental age back a few as the only people i can see listening to this type of music are disney adults and men who wear diapers
but hey its got like 1 kinda good song
fav tracks: Come Hang Out
least fav: Netflix Trip, The Good Part, Call My Dad, I'm Not Famous, No Grass Today
i musta been drinking a silly potion when i first reviewed this
this is great, so many bangers and very deftones
yeah this slaps one of my favs, i hope they release more music
fav tracks: Linda Claire, Enjoy, Woohoo, Kiss the Ladder
least fav: none
55 --> 87 (11/16/2024)
87 --> 90 (3/2/2025) Saw them live. Made me fall in love with this even more
