Spooky Album #8
interesting how BMTH's best album isnt an LP. but yeah, its their best work. the only song on here that isnt excellent is the final track.
Spooky album #7
I love the highlights but I (not exaggerating here) fell asleep during the second half of this album
This album is a shock success. I don't think anyone expected MMLP2 to be as good as it is.
For my 100th review, I decided to listen to The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd. This album is possibly one of the most influential and well respected rock albums of all time, especially since it came out in 1973. This album is several decades ahead of its time and doesn't even feel out of place if released today. This style of classic rock is not my flavor unfortunately. Its an excellent album nonetheless, and definitely one of the best rock records of all time.
Steal This Album! Is the third album from Metal band System Of A Down. It is the follow up to mega-successful "Toxicity", which is my favorite album of all time. This album ended up being overshadowed by it's predecessor, leaving it in relative obscurity. WHICH IS A SIN BECAUSE THIS IS THE THE BEST NON-TOXICITY SOAD ALBUM! I love every song on here almost as much as the songs on Toxicity!
eMOTIVe is the third album by Supergroup A Perfect Circle, and it is by far the most divisive release of the band. This record is a relic of United States politics in 2004, with the entire album protesting Bill Clinton's war policies at the time and attempting to prevent his re-election, releasing 2 days before election day. Since then, this album has gathered a reputation as a very boring cover album with poor execution of its remixing of classic songs to anti-war themes. It was also the final ... read more
Spooky Album #6
Mer De Noms is the first album by alt rock Supergroup A Perfect Circle, formed by Maynard James Keenan after the success of Tool's first two records. APC is a much more accessible band than the highly technical Tool, so many, including myself, got introduced to Tool through A Perfect Circle. The problem with A Perfect Circle is that a lot of the appeal to Tool's sound is the technicality of it, and without it the songs feel a bit incomplete, which is especially present in this ... read more
Straight from the Lab is a compilation of singles released officially (and unofficially) by Eminem during the creation of Encore and D12's D12 World. The Eminem songs here are rude, edgy, and out of pocket at best, and downright offensive at worst. It's extremely raw and a far darker side of Eminem that we don't see on Encore. I feel downright dirty listening to some tracks on here, and it's clear why this is an unofficial release. Despite all my issues with the content on here, the songs ... read more
I feel like I don't have to explain myself on why I'm giving the Undertale Soundtrack this rating, as it speaks for itself. Undertale's soundtrack has transcended above the game it comes from to a cultural landmark.
Atlas is the first studio album by the pop rock band The Score, formed in 2014. While all the songs on the album are well produced, they feel like they have no soul, which an unfortunate downside of many pop rock albums. The record gets a little repetitive and boring by the end of it, with many songs going for the same sound. Other than that, there isn't much I can say about Atlas.
Spooky Album #5
Fear Inoculum is one of the most elusive projects in the music industry, with the band confirming it's existence all the way back when 10,000 days released. Since then it's been teased and previewed constantly, to the point where when it finally released in 2019, the anticipation for it was at a boiling point. Tool is famous for their incredibly complex music composition, so many expected this project to be one their most technical releases. Unfortunately, the long wait ended up ... read more
Relapse was not received warmly when it released in 2009, with many reviewers tearing into his vocal performance and lyrics. Over time though, this album has received a sort of ...relapse... with many turning around on it, especially since Eminem as an artist has sort of deteriorated in quality since this album's release. The entire album feels like a relic of Eminem's peak era from 1999-2002, rather than a 2009 release. Now some people may see this as a bad thing, since the album already felt ... read more
Spooky Album #4
10,000 Days by Tool is another shining example of Tool's perfection of progressive metal. Not much I have to say about it other than that. Magnificent.
For my 250th rating, I decided to do titled-self by Ricky Montgomery. This is an album I listened to obsessively in my early teens, so I thought it would be nice to revisit for a landmark review. Maybe this is my nostalgia talking, but this album is still as beautiful and full of life as it was back in the day.
