I frequently forget that this ever happened.

RateYourMusic doesn't care for this single, but eh, fuck 'em, this single rocks.

Yes, Age of Consent is one of the best songs ever. But this album is so, so much more than that. Each one of these tracks contains that distinct New Order "kick" that made their songs work so well. And honestly, Leave Me Alone is such an emotionally potent, powerful closing track that I often find myself coming back to it more often than the aforementioned song.

One of the best albums ever. Listen to it again, and again, and again.

I would give this one a 200 if possible. This is quite possibly my favorite record of all time. Something about its emotionally effective simplicity and lyrical poeticism just reduces me to tears every time.

Bland, uninteresting, meat-and-potatoes Math Rock. A decent start for the band, but not much beyond that.

(I am 100% convinced this is the first Math Rock record these critics have heard.)

One of the harshest, most disorienting albums of the decade. Easily the most weaponized, infernal Death Grips album, and represents the apex of their sonic experimentation.

One of the most unique, spellbinding, haunting metal albums you're likely to listen to. The entire things feels like a slow and concentrated meltdown of human sexuality and the symbolism that binds us all. Could not recommend it higher.

Everything in the jazz movement leads up to this. On "Ascension", Coltrane and his band would make the least listener/consumer friendly piece of spiritual jazz ever conceived, focusing instead on achieving his long-sought sense of singular, interpersonal harmony. To the uninitiated, this album will understandably sound like mindless, cynical cacophony, but to the observant, patient listener, Coltrane extends a heavenly hand and asks you to join in this spiritual odyssey.

In 1996 Wesley Willis made an album. It was a jam session. He really whipped a goat's ass. He was a great artist and God will award him in the after life. Rock over London, rock on Chicago. Nike. Just Do It.

Probably what Robert Pattinson saw at the end of The Lighthouse. This is probably the most emotionally intense record of all time.
