Weezer - Pacific Daydream
34

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to make Pacific Daydream.

Canova - Avete Ragione Tutti
83

Pretty cute old school italian pop.

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
49

There was Hurt and then there were my ears hurting.

The Postal Service - Give Up
96

There is just something in this record, like a mixture of happy and sad nostalgia, it is so peaceful yet painful and it is delivered through immaculate and clean sound.

Stardust - Music Sounds Better with You
95

Can't stop feeling the music.

Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica
94

From the very strong beginning to a slightly undertone middle, this album proves to be fertile ground for any sort of quirk Isacc Brock had not yet previously explored in his music. I might prefer the much happier tones from the following GNFPWLBN, but in this record the result is nothing short of unforgettable.

98

It seems like Neige sings about the fairy world he saw in his youth. I swear I can see it too while listening to this absolutely beautiful record.

Swans - The Seer
64

I really can't into Swans apparently

Copeland - You Are My Sunshine
88

I can so relax listening to this, it's so peaceful, gentle, heartwarming.

Weezer - Weezer (Green Album)
71

Well that was.... surprisingly boring.

RADWIMPS - 君の名は。 [Your Name.]
81

The instrumental soundtracks for the movie range from midly striking to sleep-inducing (as the film itself), but the actual songs from Radwimps show their best at pop rock: Yume Tourou and Sparkle in particular are so dreamy.

The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
93

I'd spend days thinking about Mercer's lyrics and trying to figure out what drugs was he on when he breathed them out.

Arcade Fire - Funeral
95

When you think about music as an art, there's classical and then there's Funeral.

They Might Be Giants - Apollo 18
97

They Might Be Giants is wide and unbalanced, but this is one great record full of quirky lyrics, funny tunes and overall enjoyable content.

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
100

Simply put, nothing even come closer to what was achieved here.

RADWIMPS - RADWIMPS 3 ~無人島に持っていき忘れた一枚~ [RADWIMPS 3 ~The one album I forgot to take to a deserted island~]
96

This has everything: the embarassing shitty lyrics, the wide range of pop, rock, cheesy rap, experimental and mainstream tunes. It sounds like a different album at every new step and it's the best way to get into Radwimps that I know of.

The Shins - Wincing The Night Away
94

I've always had trouble pointing out the best out of The Shins' production, if only because Mercer can write such good songs in any of his albums. Wincing the Night Away though might show higher sensibility and lyricism than anything before (or after).

Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album)
100

It's so cheesy, funny, emotional and relatable, and I cannot stop listening to it. There's not a single song in this album I dislike or I wouldn't loop for hours.

Ween - The Mollusk
87

At first it was weird in a kind of wtf-ish way, later on it got weird in a kind of WTF!!!-ish way.

Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
99

While Love over gold and It never rains are really good songs, whilst Private investigation and Industrial disease are easily forgettable (hence the non-perfect rating), this album will always mean one thing: Telegraph road.
It's also the LP where Knopfler got it all out, it has both the technical perfection and narrative structure from Making movies and the experimental guitar solos from the first records. It's Dire Straits at their peak.
