Smash Mouth - Fush Yu Mang (Acoustic)
30

"What if we made Fush Yu Mang but every song is significantly worse?"

King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon
90

Early King Crimson is so good that even what's seen as their more forgettable work is incredible. This album is often seen as "In The Court Of The Crimson King... But worse" and while that is reductive, and disrespectful... and true- I still adore it for what it is.

Pictures Of A City is a great improvement on A Man A City in my eyes, Cadence and Cascade is a great slow jam. The title track In The Wake Of Poseidon is an incredibly fun eight minutes, Cat Food is not only great ... read more

Smash Mouth - Fush Yu Mang
80

Somehow, someway Smash Mouth had a great start to their career. Smash Mouth has always dwelled in being corny, it's one of the core traits of their music, but whereas their newer work and even parts of Astro Lounge fail at selling the corn, Fush Yu Mang succeeds in nearly every song.

A number of tracks sound samey for sure, but the ones that do stand out, such as The Fonz, Padrino, and the hit Walkin' On The Sun, are incredibly fun songs that can and will rent out space in your brain ... read more

Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl
0

Holy shit this is bad. Taylor Swift has always been given more credit than she deserves for her basic lyricism due to her unending fame, but it's on this album where she's pushing it more than I've ever seen before. Basic Pop strings with extremely simple lyrics that made my eyes roll as deep as they could go upwards of 35 times before the end. A true embarrassment that she will get away with like nothing ever happened due to her fanbases horrible taste and standards, just like ... read more

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity
99

Today is the 9th Anniversary of Nonagon Infinity, King Gizzard's Best Album and my personal favorite ever made.

This album is just an absolute thrill ride, taking you from one song to another seamlessly while drowning your ears in pedal to the metal distortion. It is chaos, it is euphoria, it is Saturn's Rings and Jupiter's Stars.

It's all of my favorite things in music distilled into one album and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Id give it an 100/100 but I think a ... read more

King Crimson - Discipline
80

I don't know what the fuck I just heard but it was pretty groovy. Not my favorite that I've heard from the band so far, but it's still great.

Joey Valence & Brae - NO HANDS
85

These beats are fucking heat dude.

"John Cena the way I'm Bing Chilling" has been amusing me for 4 days now, and it's probably not even top 5 funniest bars on this album. Loved it.

Lemon Demon - Nature Tapes
35

And I thought I was white.

Stone Temple Pilots - Core
35

Im starting to think I just don't like grunge

Ween - GodWeenSatan: The Oneness
60

DEANER PLEASE ITS SO COLD OUT HERE

I've never been as crazy for the brown sound as a lot of Ween fans, but this album makes up for it a lot because it's fuckin' hilarious

Yes - Fragile
80

Fragile by Yes was a lot more volatile than I was expecting going in. Like a lot of people I assume, I had only heard Roundabout from Yes before listening to this in full, and on re-listen it was everything I remembered, which is to say one of the best songs ever made. Genius instrumentation, great vocals, and somehow perfectly paced despite its run time of 8 minutes.

Fragile falls into my pet peeve of "The first song is the best one" but I barely hold it against the album in this ... read more

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
100

I'm convinced that playing this album on six different devices, all at varying speeds and volumes, in a circular formation, may be the best bet humanity has in summoning Lucifer himself.

I have never been more confused, appalled, or worried for the safety of others than I was when I listened to this album. It feels like shitting your brains out of your mouth. I believe Captain Beefheart himself was criminally insane 10 years before this project was even mere neurons in his mind.

This is ... read more

Tyler, The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA
90

Before this, I kinda didn't like Tyler, The Creator. I remember listening to IGOR the week it came out and being thoroughly unimpressed, and Call Me If You Get Lost was fine but nothing I would go back to, but HERE?

This feels like such a natural evolution of Tyler's craft, phenomenal production, beats so good they actively made me say aloud "this shit goes so hard", and an emotional through line that follows through in the end in just the best way. If he doesn't win ... read more

Ween - Erica Peterson's Flaming Crib Death
15

Objectively terrible, but still somehow entertaining. Many of the things I and several others love about Ween can be found here, although it's shrouded in a negative amount of production, gibberish, and screaming that must've woke the whole block up. It's an album of a bunch of Teenagers not giving a fuck, and I guess there's some beauty to that.

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
75

While in the modern day this style of music might only seem weird on a surface level, in 1967 it was a shocking waltz into the bizarre.

Magical Mystery Tour is placed in an awkward spot in The Beatles discography, coming out after Sgt. Peppers and before The White Album, both of which would go on to become much larger and well regarded projects, but for a middle child this album certainly is no slouch.

Much like any Beatles project there are songs that are ingrained in the very nature of ... read more

Viper - FREE VIPER!
10

Viper was arrested for kidnapping a pregnant woman and keeping her in chains for years by the way. Don't free this man.

The album itself is horrid, but I must admit there was never a moment I wasn't entertained, granted most of it was me imagining him recording this shit in his cell and laughing my ass off at the mental image alone, but that's still worth... something I suppose. I will say 24 Hour Lockdown is legitimately a decent track, the sample got stuck in my head even, but ... read more

Doug Walker - Nostalgia Critic’s The Wall
0

Trying to write why Doug Walker's The Wall is one of the worst albums ever made is a lot like attempting to write an essay on why sticking a fork inside an outlet is bad. Like you have ears right? It kinda spells itself out for you.

A parody so bad it gives people who dislike Pink Floyd a better appreciation for the band. A failure in every way one could fail. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to purchase a Pink Floyd's The Wall Vinyl with my Bat Credit Card.

Gorillaz - Humanz
65

I remember the day Humanz released. I listened to it on the bus ride to and from school that day, I had a half hour bus ride to and from the place where I got my education at the time and thought it was annoying, but at least id have my then favorite band Gorillaz to pass the time right?

As it would turn out, NO. I thought Humanz was ass. Gorillaz felt like an afterthought on their own goddamn album, THIS WAS THEIR RETURN RECORD. After that first listen I never booted up a single track from ... read more

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - K.G.
90

The middle child of King Gizzard's Microtonal Trilogy provides the most experimental batch of tracks of the bands adventures in way I just love. After getting their feet wet with Flying Microtonal Banana, King Gizzard now seems much more confident in their ability to explore new ideas.

You want a rocking track with some eclectic vocals? Automation has you covered. How about a more somber song? Minimum Brain Size. From there, Straws In The Wind gives one of my favorite vocal performances ... read more
