Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
87

This is soooo good but for some reason aside from the title track the really high rated songs are my least favorites whereas like Fotzepolitic and Iceblink Luck have me ascending every time I listen to them

Renaissance - Scheherazade and Other Stories
83

Thank you to @herbypoo for the recommendation.

This was a really nice listen! It was cool to see a take on symphonic prog that's not Genesis and this definitely leaned more on the symphonic side than the prog side for a lot of it, which I certainly didn't mind. While the title track is definitely the big highlight, I also think the first side (especially the second half of Trip to the Fair and The Vultures Fly High) is really nice and has a lot of cool melodic harmonization going on. ... read more

Genesis - From Genesis to Revelation
58

From GeneSus to Revelation (discog dive #1)
Rating: 5.8/10
Favorite songs: Where the Sour Turns to Sweet, In The Beginning
Least favorite: Like most of the others basically

It's probably a good thing that the Genesis that gave us Foxtrot, Selling England, and even Trespass, somehow, is completely unrecognizable here. While there is no BAD music on this album anywhere, apart from the first two songs, there is virtually nothing done throughout the album that hasn't already been done in ... read more

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Piñata
84

Production is usually what hooks me and brings me into a rap album first before I can start to appreciate things like flow and lyricism, so this album is like the perfect match and I really enjoyed it. A couple of songs didn't quite click but others like High and Robes and Shame had me on another planet

Ween - The Mollusk
71

Had a cool sound and a couple of songs I'd maybe come back to. I kinda just wish the vibe of the album were more fleshed out but I guess when the whole thing is practically a satire that might be too much to ask

Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
70

Good album but didn't really seem to click with me like it does for most others, not something i'd really come back to

Radiohead - The Bends
93

This is in fact my favorite radiohead album sorry everyone. Idk their other albums just all have low points and this one just doesn't. It keeps up the energy so consistently that it's so easy for me to come back to again and again

The Beatles - The Beatles
85

The fact that almost every song on this album is someone's favorite should tell you something. It's not perfect and there are parts I struggle to stay connected, but the variety you get as a result makes up for it. As much of a struggle as Rev 9 certainly is, the transition into Good Night afterward is the only time a piece of music has actually made me cry before. Giving that song to Ringo was the best choice John could have ever made

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
83

While this is probably Floyd's best album technically it doesn't really take me off the ground in the same way as my favorite albums of theirs; still a great listen but I've found it less compelling over time. And after like 50+ attempts I still CANNOT get welcome to the machine to click. I also think Have a Cigar is a worse version of Money though that may be a controversial take

Pink Floyd - Meddle
85

What do you mean Seamus isn't the best song on the album

Pink Floyd - The Endless River
68

Rounding out the Floyd discog dive. Nothing mind blowing but a nice listen and Louder Than Words is amazing.

Gustavo Cerati - Bocanada
96

DAMN this guy can arrange a song. Layers upon layers of percussion and the most beautiful guitar work you'll ever see make this album one of the most compelling psych rock experiences you'll ever have. Not going to be something that leaves my consciousness any time soon.

Pink Floyd - Animals
95

Crazy that I used to not like this album

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
77

Some cool noodling around and much more, didn't touch my soul or anything but great music and a nice way to spend 40 ish minutes

I always can't help but wonder if it's my fault I'm not "clicking" with albums like these or if I need to listen to them more to really get it

Spiritualized - Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space
69

Had me totally hooked for the first two songs then completely lost me aside from a few brief moments. Love the concept just couldn't connect with it sadly

Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork
91

Okay I really liked this first listen but it warrants a more proper review than I gave it originally. This is just a really good album. Proof that you don't necessarily have to do anything revolutionary to create something timeless... this is just really good rock music.

Metallica - Ride the Lightning
85

Metal is so hard for me to get into as a genre but this album is an exception

drug bug - Hell for a Basement
74

Review subject to change but I liked this quite a bit, especially the longer songs. I love the layering

Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
92

I very deeply love this album. I want to praise Wearing the Inside Out in particular because it doesn't get enough love and it's such an incredibly beautiful Wright piece

The Cure - Disintegration
88

I have so much trouble connecting with most of the top 100 but this hit. Great music, strangely optimistic in spite of the edginess. I love the longer tracks especially but lovesong is my favorite; wish it were longer

On Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
"@Croquette well said; It's always tough for me to figure out whether an album just isn't gonna click or if I just need to give it a few more chances, but this album is definitely packed and warrants just more than one go through. Rating definitely subject to change down the road lol"
