Queen - A Night at the Opera
84

Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn great. "A Night At The Opera" is Queen's star-studded magnum opus, the most theatrical (and likely most conceptual) album of their career, and an album loaded with some of Queen's most memorable and enjoyable tracks. Sometimes the structure felt a bit weird, but that's really my only big complaint. Also, call me basic but "Bohemian Rhapsody" is unironically in the running for the best rock song ever made in my opinion. It's pure ... read more

Leonard Cohen - Songs from a Room
84

A wonderful collection of sweet, calming songs from Cohen. In comparison to his debut, the production here sounds a bit better, with guitars sounding a lot less rustic and background noises sounding a bit cleaner, and I think his lyricism and singing is (for the most part) improved, but there's just something about his debut that just hits harder for me. With that being said, you absolutely should not skip this one, especially if you were a fan of Cohen's debut or "Songs of Love and ... read more

Puzzle - Laying In The Sand
49

Pretty bad mixing, songwriting, and vocals that aren't quite up to par hold a lot of really good ideas back from their fullest potential on this project (or any potential, really).

The Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight
NR

finally listened to this today
very cool love it thanks

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree
83

This album ends in a completely different world from the one it starts in, managing to feel like a complete experience in spite of there only being 8 tracks to speak of here. The hauntingly minimal instrumentation here and oddly moving lyrics only helps to further this album's melancholic tone, reaching a point of complete transcendence in its last two tracks.

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
78

Kate Bush starts off her studio discography strong, entering into the music scene fully formed on her debut, "The Kick Inside". The singing, the writing and the production all shows that Kate Bush clearly knew exactly what she wanted going into the creation of this album and I'm seriously struggling to think of a debut that feels as complete and well rounded as this one does. Bush's vocals are eccentric and wonderful as usual, and the writing on this particularly stands out, with the ... read more

Patti Smith - Horses
72

Maybe worth a re-listen, because while I did find there to be some interesting lyrics and song structures here, as well as a sound that was pretty revolutionary for the time, the vocals just annoyed me to no end at points.

Modern Baseball - Holy Ghost
77

Rather than playing through the usual lens of anger and bitterness that fueled a lot of early Modern Baseball material, "Holy Ghost" feels a lot more mature and introspective. Unlike most of Modern Baseball's records, there's rarely ever a hint of anger or pent up aggression here, and they instead decide to trade out the in the moment rage and frustration of, say, a track like "Your Graduation", for something a lot more subtle, rather capturing the sort of empty, melancholic ... read more

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water
86

-1000th Rating!-
Wow, I loved this. I know this is everyone's opinion, but seriously. This is Simon & Garfunkel's best record. There's just no question in my mind. Not only does some of their best material show up here, but this is easily their most consistent track list. Every song is great, the best are amazing. All killer, no filler. On top of this, the flow of this record is just so engaging, having the perfect mix of standard, fun folk rock that's come to have been expected of Simon ... read more

MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS - ゼロコンマ、色とりどりの世界 [Zero Comma, irotoridori no sekai]
73

The production on this is kind of rough around the edges, and the songs in general aren't very memorable to me. This is nice and good for what it is, but it really doesn't standout much, even in just the FERMENTING DREGS' discography.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
77

Very well performed and put together. Since Young's voice isn't anything particularly noteworthy, he instead finds ways of making these songs interesting through his unique songwriting style and knack for creating lengthy yet well structured country rock tracks. While there might be an argument to be made that some of these songs didn't need to be as long as they were, overall, "Everybody Knows..." left a great taste in my mouth.

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Piñata
87

Amazing. One of the most well written and fantastically put together hip hop albums of its year, and possibly decade, all masterminded by one of the best producers in the scene.

Megadeth - Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!
73

Listening to this while practicing on duolingo at 4AM was truly one of the experiences of my entire life

Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
82

Some very calming and beautiful tracks, there just wasn't enough to really keep me fully engaged throughout the full 71 minutes.

6ix9ine - DAY69
37

While not absolutely terrible, there's very little denying how annoying a lot of this sounds. The production is fine, but nothing really stands out about it, and 6ix9ine's delivery is pretty ugly to me. I can absolutely see the appeal of something like this, it's aggressive, mindless music that I imagine is pretty enjoyable if you don't pay too much attention to what is going on, but to me, it just sounds obnoxious.

Common - Be
72

While this has some really nice, jazzy instrumentation, Common's lyrics and flows weren't enough to carry this whole record for me. Anything that didn't blend in stuck out in a not-so-great way for me, and in general this just didn't really standout as anything too special to my ears. A lot of the lyrics here felt very rudimentary and in general Common's delivery could've worked a lot better if this was more of a soul-oriented project or something like that. With that being said, it has a nice ... read more

venturing - Aberdeen Dream Sequence
NR

Jane Remover is peak music istg

this is the kind of song you hear once and you feel you've heard it your whole life

The Stooges - The Stooges
70

You can tell this is an album with a lot heavier of a focus on the sound than the lyrics. The lyrics aren't bad, they're just kind of dull and are often repeated several times, putting most of the focus on what's happening musically, which, for the '60s, is really cool!

52

Painfully boring and uninspired. Despite Abel's production and singing being solid, the lyrics here are just so damn empty. So this dude likes to fuck women? Cool, so did thousands of other artists from around this same time, and he's not saying anything in a unique or clever way, he's basically just screaming to you that he likes getting laid the whole time. What's so great about this? What stands out about this? This also just feels so drawn out. Yeah, I get it, there were only 9 tracks here, ... read more

"@ItsSarahhhh LMAO ur good queen i gotchu. my headphones have been acting up recently so i haven't been listening to much but once i get that sorted i'll probably at least check out iceman, i've heard some snippets of songs that i enjoyed enough to at least be somewhat curious. i also realize that this review makes it seem like i was really angry but im just more confused why theres even still drake hype in 2026"
On Drake - MAID OF HONOUR
"@ItsSarahhhh thats a valid perspective, and im curious to at least check out iceman for that same reason. i've just never fully understood why drake has such a dedicated and loyal audience of listeners when, from what i've gathered, he hasn't made music that's been overall well received in about a decade atp. makes me sad that this same level of attention and hype isn't often given to smaller projects by artists that are working a thousand times harder to deliver a worthwhile product"
