If this was just a little vinyl single of Henry Rollins spoken word poems it would honestly be an underrated masterpiece. But the boring nature of the instrumentals take it down to about average.

Skee-Lo - I Wish
75

Is this the first song to do "Hey, look, what's that sound?" Because I feel like I've heard that a lot before.

Butthole Surfers - Pepper
90

It's honestly rather fascinating how this band went from Touch And Go royality to... this.

Falling In Reverse - Last Resort (Reimagined)
5

This song is nothing. It doesn’t add to the original, it doesn’t improve on it, it doesn’t even stay in memory. It’s just self important, melodramatic, and tiresome. Ronnie Radke needs to get a job.

Rabbit - Halo of Flies
80

A breath of fresh air in the hardcore genre. As opposed to wearing it's influence on it's sleeve, it rips it's heart out of it's chest and shows it's influence there. Black metal bliss, intertwined with the sickest hardcore riffage you'll ever hear.

90

Possibly the greatest Beatles compilation of all time (1 non withstanding)

Charles Manson - Lie: The Love and Terror Cult
100

I completely understand if someone would listen to this and write it off as edge-lord garbage. But I believe this record is a fascinating look into the psyche of a weird, artsy guy with lots of baggage and trauma. Songs will start as normal enough folk tracks and end with howling, guitars being beaten to the point of notes reverberating, and repetition to the point of nausea.
I do not respect Charles Manson as a person, I do not agree with his ideals, and I feel his legacy is overwrought and ... read more

Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy
30

I feel absolutely nothing towards this song, but giving it anything over a 3 feels like a crime.

Sir Mix-a-Lot - Baby Got Back
90

This has aged exceptionally well.

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy
55

I understand the people who absolutely detest this song. I found it charming enough , but there are lots of lines that are insensitive.

Los Del Río - Macarena
40

Your enjoyment of this song is entirely dependent on how much annoying you’re willing to stomach.

Chamillionaire - Ridin'
98

Jesus Christ, the flow are incredible. Up there with Outkast as pop rap royalty in my book.

Autograph - Turn Up the Radio
45

It sounds exactly how it looks

Raccoon Tour - Sorry Sarah
100

Sorry Sarah is fascinating. When people, especially people who come from religious households, have to deal with concepts as serious as death, it can often lead to depressive episodes, self reflection, and (in the absolute most unfortunate instances,) permanent psyche damage.

To find a song that perfectly encapsulates that feeling is truly special. Even down to the mediocre lyrics, the shitty screaming, and the midi drumming. It is not an experience that everyone has had. But I find this song ... read more

Youth Lagoon - Heaven Is a Junkyard
75

This is about as “Pitchfork Best New Music” as an album can get. Sad, weird (but not too weird) indie that’s equal parts catchy and understated. Not something I’ll listen to often, but this certainly does scratch the modern indie itch.

Slipknot - Adderall
30

I can’t speak on the controversy surrounding this EP, as I’m not up to date on Slipknot “lore”. I can say that this is one of their most laughable efforts.
This album is a torrid mix between the post grunge adjacent Stone Sour and the Scooby Doo, BDSM rock of Ghost. However, while Ghost’s music integrates religious imagery, themes, and aesthetic in a smooth and compelling way, this project sounds like Corey Taylor using this aesthetic in the same way an atheistic ... read more

Life of Agony - River Runs Red
100

An underrated metal classic. Cutting, catchy, and borderline anthemic. The idea of making a concept album about suicide sounds almost beyond parody, but this album goes into that concept with no irony and comes out triumphant.

Turnabout - Lord Of Ephraim
10

This is what old white people think Haunted Mound sounds like. Loud, grating, and borderline unlistenable. Turnabout has no flow whatsoever.

Lingua Ignota - SINNER GET READY
100

A magnum opus of trauma, healing, religion, and rage.

95

Like if the main character from Freddy Got Fingered made a punk album. Purely ridiculous, catchy, and goofy. A diamond in the rough.
