Natalia Lafourcade - De Todas las Flores
91

Her beautiful singing is so intimate, it warms my heart.

Porcupine Tree - Closure / Continuation
76

Steven, Barbieri and Harisson go on a jazzy and prog heavy detour.

Steven Wilson - Grace for Drowning
81

Beatiful in its conception, but a bit carried away

Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
89

A thought provoking piece of art.

Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia
86

A pretty iconic album, and it's getting even better when you look back at it in retrospect

Vince Staples - Vince Staples
85

Vince's equivalent to Pusha T's Daytona.

For Those I Love - For Those I Love
90

A truly creative effort into subverting electronic dancing beats into a display of urban life experience. An artist at his peak of using all of his available resources to convey his emotions through music.

Kanye West - Donda (Deluxe)
76

The perfect Kanye album except all of the bangers are front loaded.

Highlights: Life of the Party, Off the Grid, Heaven and Hell, Keep My Spirit Alive

100

Lives up to its name.
Zack's lyrical energy and emergency make every song a staple in raising social issues for the listener.

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire
100

Sensible musical carnage.

Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
100

It's like a really close friend of yours is telling you about their experiences.
If there was a genre called "humanity", this would top the charts.

Racionais MC's - Sobrevivendo no Inferno
100

A staple in the Brazilian music industry that cemented hip hop into the mainstream.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing.....
100

How am I supposed to explain this?

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
100

The 21st century "Bitches Brew" or "Mingus Ah Um". Oh, and if this isn't enough, there's also conscious rap on top of that. Oh, and not just that, lyrics and instruments complement each other masterfully, as if they are as one.

Definitely a crossover between genius minds of the industry. Lush sound scapes of musical wizardry.

Burial - Untrue
100

Genre defining. The canonical milestone of how dubstep, uk garage and future garage would sound in the following years.

Coruja - Brasil Futurista
79

The production is top notch, the lyrics are much more intimate and reflect Coruja's personal and political reality, without having to resort to catchphrases and brash lyrics. There are also good doses of sarcasm and comic relief that are sprinkled throughout the songs.

Madvillain - Madvillainy
100

One album of a kind, also my favorite HQ from Hip-hop's most celebrated supervillain of all time.

edit: RIP Dumile, we will miss all your genius and quirkiness. We owe you a lot!

95

Most cohesive hyperpop work of its time.
