Death Grips - Bottomless Pit
100

Bottomless Pit is a subtle reference to the fact that once you start this album, you never want for it to end

Death Grips - Jenny Death
100

I have no words for that one


(Literally words)

The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
83

Literally one of the best album covers ever made, should be hanged in art gallery or somewhere

Courting - Guitar Music
78

Doesn't sound like you could expect, but actually fits the cover. Guitar Music is a great debut, its the kind of the work that simply sets expectations for the band and draws a good picture of it. It sounds punky, loud, layered but very bright at the same time. Its a soup of very energetic pop, glitchy noise, explosions of punky guitars and some sweetier melodies, music that sounds both very dense but simple at the same time. It doesn't even need to be long to be memorable.

Death Grips - Niggas on the Moon
88

What an introduction to Björk

Can - Future Days
83

While I am not a fan of Can's "Ege Bamyasi", this one's a whole diffrent story, its pure fun, grooves, shakes, whole atmosphere is simply amazing. Even the name fits as it sounds so oddly ahead of its time. Timeless, always from the future

Death Grips - Government Plates
70

Biggest sin of this album is how it tends to hook you up onto songs before letting you down at some point eventually, like some odd cut through, maybe it was intentional for the sake of absolute chaos all over the record.. Idk, makes me feel maniacal

Ween - La Cucaracha
50

They've kinda nailed only opening and ending, rest is either mid or pretty bad (with Spirit Walker as a song that could kill a child) and on top of that very alien, not really Ween sounding to be honest

Ween - The Friends EP
45

Ween doing Eurodance is such a hilarious fever dream

The Orchestra (For Now) - Hattrick
85

Just made me realize they can grow better and better

The Kills - Midnight Boom
73

Barely a garage rock, in some extend a minimalistic mix of bumpy sounds, drums with an accompany of guitar here and there, basicly an LP that feels like a cold leftover pizza, could be fresh but its fine anyway. Well, its possible you sometimes like cold one even more, like The Kills are saying: "Cheap and Cheerful"

Tame Impala - Loser
58

Its okay, guess I'm just not a big sucker for Impala. By the way, Beck did it better

ORB - Naturality
68

Decent "fuzzfest" that makes me think its some kind of Black Sabbath and King Gizzard mix

After - Outbound
85

I'm convinced that After can't make a bad song. Just not possible

Queens of the Stone Age - Villains
58

Like Clockwork rised the bar for the follow up album really damn high, thats probably where some of the critique comes from. On the other hand, its completely understandable, Villains is just not a great LP, it packs better and worse songs, kind of a "bumpy" level, some are straight up filler, few are even amazing. Its not terreble, just inconsistent and a bit alien sounding? Something's off on top of that.

The White Stripes - Elephant
90

Im here just after rediscovering "The Hardest Button to Button" after few years or more and well. Elephant's not the best garage rock record ever, not the loudest, not the neither the dirtiest, but for sure the most charming one.

Ween - Shinola, Vol. 1
90

Thats just straight up too good for a compilation. Usual Ween, but stacked with unreasonably big ammount of really, and I mean really really great songs. Its so consistent and well put together that I'd rather call it an album instead.
Peak B-sides

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3000
67

And to think it was for me the "worst" Gizzard album. Wow, I must have been in bad mood back then. I am not stunned right now after coming back, at least not for the most part, but still I think I owe it an apology. I'm sorry Butterfly 3000, you're not a bad album.
