Rookie Card - For Ryan
75

Three great tracks sandwiched by two mediocre ones

katie dey - flood network
100

While initially so odd it was off-putting I have grown to love this project, its eccentricity makes it probably the most fun I have ever had with a pop album (if you could even call it that). The vocals are constantly changing pitches and the instrumentals can be very, very clunky and jarring yet somehow I feel like I can relate to this mess of sounds

Xiu Xiu - Plays The Music of Twin Peaks
99

The original music is incredible but I think these covers do nothing but elevate it.

Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage: Acts I, II & III
65

Frank's immature lyrics stop me from enjoying this, whilst they don't offend me I just don't wanna hear about it hurting when you pee etc.

your arms are my cocoon - Your Arms Are My Cocoon
90

Potently personal and beautiful instrumentation

Liturgy - Immortal Life
60

As rough as this is it's kind of neat to hear where it all started.

Liturgy - H.A.Q.Q.
95

I can feel the possibility of a 100 is strong in this one

Liturgy - Renihilation
80

While experimentation is low on this album all the tracks are these hyper-aggressive black metal bangers and each of the interludes/ untitled tracks really gives the listener time to breathe before getting pummeled again. Definitely a highlight from this album is the amazing vocals that do nothing but add to the experience of the listen.

Mayhem - De mysteriis dom Sathanas
76

Mayhem surprisingly doesn't just have classic status just because of their band antics but also because they made some damn good black metal.

99

It took me a while to fully realize how damn amazing this album is, it mixes fairly complex and cacophonous compositions with some of the best black metal I have heard this year. I hope to see more from this contemporary classical black metal combination in the future.

Scott Walker - Bish Bosch
80

Some may say this is artsy bs and I kinda agree but on the other hand, I really love how weird it is

Trash Dog - Garbage Eater
70

The recording quality surprisingly makes this better

Kyle And The Gang - Grand Theft Auto V
25

While it is musically lacklustre the atmosphere that comes with it is kinda terrifying.
5/100 for musical ability but + 20 for the terrifying atmosphere.

Honey Claws - Honey Claws
55

A lot of interesting ideas are present but many of them aren't quite pulled off well. Overall I feel like it flows well as an album though and the production is fairly consistent and most of the time a track is hindered it is because of the vocals

Chelsea Wolfe - Ἀποκάλυψις [Apokalypsis]
92

While this project has a lot of great qualities her voice really shines through as the strongest part

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!
100

One of the easiest 100's ever. The emotion in the playing and the amazing, cacophonous climaxes cement this as one of the best post-rock albums of all time.

Aesop Rock - Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives
50

Good songs but they are pretty average for aesop

Pink Siifu & Fly Anakin - FlySiifu's
60

Don't get me wrong a lot of this is very solid abstract hip hop but I don't really see what's so special about this.

Fastest Ascent - selected ascent works 20-20
100

To say I'm biased is preposterous and frankly offending

This album is made by wonderful people and all of the music on it is very good. The genres hop all over the place, but somehow its actually got an excellent flow, and nothing feels out of place like it would on a regular comp.
85/100

Sprain - As Lost Through Collision
99
