Favorite: Epitaph / The Court of the Crimson King
Least Favorite: Moonchild ("The Illusion")
Peter Sinfield's poems are captivating and beautiful, and Greg Lake's vocals on this record are of no less beauty. The two make an incredible pair. "Epitaph" is a prime example.
I did not care for "The Illusion" on "Moonchild", but other than that, a great album. Decades ahead of it's time.

I have mixed opinions on this album, and on J Cole. But I like the album and I don't have any really major complaints about it except for the Lil Baby feature and the 6th track.
This is good hip-hop. I don't understand the reason behind the hate I see.
Favorite: Espresso
Least Favorite: Bed Chem / The rest of the album
Yeah, no.

Never have I ever even considered sitting down and listening to a 20 minute instrumental track with no vocals, let alone an entire record. But this record blew me away. It was an hour and a half of musical bliss.
Favorite: 2 + 2 = 5 / There, There / A Wolf at the Door
Least Favorite: The Gloaming / Backdrifts
Better than Amnesiac. But still not as good as any of the 3 albums prior to Amnesiac.
-Edit: September 27th, 2024-
After revisiting Amnesiac, I find it better than this to an extent, still, I like this one too.

Musically, the band is great. Nothing too special. Dolores O'Riordan is the difference maker in my opinion.
Her singing, her lyrics, her background vocals, her approach to every track. Whether it's a soothing, quiet and beautiful approach like on the final track "Put Me Down", or a powerful and slightly aggressive approach like on the band's biggest hit ... read more

I am not ashamed to admit that I like Clairo's music. Since "Pretty Girl". I like this album as well but the majority of it feels a bit too repetitive, but it's still a good album. Nice to see her progress as an artist throughout the years.
I feel like I should give this another listen sometime soon to see if it grows on me or I change my mind about a few ... read more

Listened to "No One Noticed" and they grabbed my attention so I thought I should give the album a listen. And it did not disappoint.

This is a flawless hip hop album. Beats, flows, lyricism, rhyme schemes, content, etc... Em was on a whole different level while making this album. His production was incredible, a very underrated producer. The album does not lack in content matter, whether it was comedy, politics or drama from his personal life, Em delivered.

I don't rate an album this high after a first listen, not usually, because I almost always need to give an album a few listens and let it grow on me so I could understand and appreciate it more and judge it fairly. But this record presented itself in such an undeniable way. I was immediately fascinated. From the second I pressed play, I was fully immersed and enjoyed ... read more

Hate Slim Shady all you want, but The Slim Shady LP is influential, iconic, unique & one of the greatest Hip Hop records of all time. A great start to, in my opinion, the best 3 album run in Hip Hop.
Favorite: Just the Two of Us / Murder, Murder
Least Favorite: N/A
Been wanting to check this EP for a while but never got to till now. The debut of the iconic Slim Shady persona. I played the EP expecting to hear only one or two hidden gems and a couple of meh tracks but this was a great listen from start to end.
Favorite: 505 / Brianstorm / Do Me a Favour
Least Favorite: The Bad Thing
505 is a rare occasion of a mainstream song that is deserving of all the hype.
