One of the best rap albums I've ever heard period. I used to be be resistant to rap music in my younger years, and this was one of the albums that changed my mind completely! It's a classic, when I listen to it it's very hard to believe it's from 1994 because it was sooo far ahead of its time. I love nas till this day, love his flow so much, but I'm not sure if he could ever top this album, he really came out swinging! Right from the first song, I was replaying songs back to back to back just ... read more
I remember stumbling apon lemon demon early on when he had a flash animated music video to "The ultimate showdown" and thinking that not only was he funny, but he could definitely write a good song too! And man I've been interested in the music ever since, although obviously he probably doesn't get much radio play because of the independent nature of the music, I was and still am very impressed by this album in particular! There really isn't a bad track on the album, it's almost ... read more
Muse is a truly unique band, I'm not sure anyone else really sounds like them, and they have a lot of music to listen too, each with it's own aesthetic and story to tell, but for me it all starts with hearing "time is running out" on the radio and I've been hooked ever since. It feels like an opera when you listen to it all the way through, with moods coming and going, great rock music and piano playing, I get swept up in the operatic singing and distorted guitar. This album will ... read more
Man do I love me some tool! The musical complexity, heavy distorted tones and awesome rhythm of their song writing always get me immersed in their music. The way I see it there are basically three types of tool fans; the ones who think anema is the best album, the others who think it's Lateralus. And the third group (maybe we are smaller) that think it's this album. I mean all three are great but this is the one I always find myself going back too the most. I even remember showing 10000 days ... read more
I love Queens a lot, definitely one of my personal favorites bands ever! I love the darkness in their sound and I'm their style in general, and I've loved most of their work! But this one really is special because cmon man, David grohl sounds amazing on this album! He really makes the difference, josh was always going to make great hard rock music no matter who is in the band, but having such a power house drummer definitely takes the sound of this album to the next level.
