Portrayal of Guilt - ...Beginning of The End
30

i like portrayal of guilt but this was pretty awful. while im not against bands evolving their sound, i don't think im ever gonna like it when a band takes a more nu metal approach. the production is also terrible, everything sounds so unfinished. im just not hearing what everyone else is hearing

Mr. Bungle - California
65

it baffles me that this is their most popular album when it's not nearly as good or interesting as the previous two. i guess it's their most accessible and mature release but that's not what i look for in mr. bungle's music. the only track that really stood out to me was "goodbye sober day"

Bongripper - The Great Barrier Reefer
85

shortest doom metal song

Bongripper - Heroin
70

absolutely miserable listening experience

Bongripper - Hippie Killer
90

what i thought was just gonna be a dumb stoner metal album ended up featuring some of the most beautiful and interesting pieces of music i've ever heard

Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante
95

without a doubt the most unhinged and outlandish album i've ever heard in my life. truly the epitome of weird, and there's not a single second where that weirdness feels forced because mike patton is genuinely just like that. incredible drum work from danny heifetz too

Faith No More - Sol Invictus
70

i expected this to be much worse but despite its flaws, it's a pretty solid comeback album. i really enjoyed some of these tracks, more specifically "superhero," "motherfucker" and "from the dead" but i can't see myself revisiting this as much as their previous albums. it's good but it's nothing special tbh

Faith No More - Album of the Year
75

this album has some of faith no more's best tracks such as "stripsearch," "last cup of sorrow" and "ashes to ashes" but overall, it's the weakest of their 90s records and it's quite hit-or-miss. it's decent but it's nowhere near as good or memorable as the previous three albums

Faith No More - King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime
80

following up their synth-heavy magnum opus "angel dust," faith no more keep up the chaotic energy with almost an hour of full-on unhinged rock laced with smooth, lounge-like tunes. this album really captures the best of mike patton's vocal range as he constantly switches from soulful, r&b-esque performances to maniacal screeching. by the time you've heard "cuckoo for caca," you start to realise why he was asked to voice the infected in left 4 dead

WORLD PEACE - THE MOST NOBLE IMPULSE OF MAN
75

a nasty start to a nasty discography. being the only world peace album to have a guitar, it's got a much thicker hardcore punk sound than the rest of their releases and it's definitely their most violent record too

Angine de Poitrine - Vol.1
80

finally, a masked band that actually sounds good and doesn't use their gimmick to make up for mediocre music. i saw someone describe this as "bacteria music" and i couldn't have described it better myself

Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle
85

exactly the type of album you'd expect from a self-proclaimed "shit terrorist"

Faith No More - Introduce Yourself
60

a huge step-up from their debut, the instrumentation on here is fantastic but the vocals still suck and sometimes it's impossible to look past how awful they are

Faith No More - We Care a Lot
50

rip chuck mosley but he really couldn't sing for shit lmao

Animals as Leaders - Weightless
55

quite a forgettable album, especially in comparison to everything else i've heard from the band. the production quality is an improvement from their debut but unfortunately the same can't really be said for the music itself

Animals as Leaders - Animals as Leaders
80

much like meshuggah's "nothing," this has arguably done irreparable damage to modern prog, and yet it's still a great album. animals as leaders are one of the few instrumental prog bands that do a good job of balancing technical wankery with actual nice melodies. there's the odd filler track but overall i quite enjoyed this record

Faith No More - Angel Dust
100

every song on this album is the best song i've ever heard in my life

Faith No More - The Real Thing
100

whole album is just banger after banger after banger. the first five tracks in particular are an incredible run of songs. it's insane that they can go from the rap rock hit "epic" to a more catchy pop rock tune like "falling to pieces" to full on thrash in "surprise! you're dead!" back to back and actually make it work too. there'll never be another band like this

Ronnie, Donnie, and Johnny - Aura Farming Simulator
75

im glad that the mathcore duo that's been all over my instagram feed have finally dropped some music. an instrumental mathcore band, and one you can actually mosh to as well, is something i've never heard before so this is a breath of fresh air. i just wish the tracks were a bit longer but overall not a bad debut ep

Dystopia - The Aftermath
85

sometimes you just have to give in and listen to that band with the insufferable fanbase. dystopia offers a raw and uncomfortable listening experience with misanthropic, politically-charged lyrics covering just about everything there is to be mad about. how this ended up in the hands of tiktok posers is beyond me
