| Current average score: 5.84/10 | Artist, Name, Score, Cover | Comment |
|---|---|
| [Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds] (Ghosteen) 6/10 | It was alright, not as good as the 93 critic score implies though. The mixing was kind of fucked at some points and it just felt tedious a lot of the time. |
| [Daughters] (You Won't Get What You Want) 6/10 | Sorry Anthony Fantano but this is not an 10. Still was a pretty alright rock album and I had a fine time with it but like cmon man. Maybe it's just too deep for me. |
| [McKinley Dixon] (Beloved! Paradise! Jazz?!) 7.5/10 | Thought he had a paw on the cover and I was bout to listen to some furry jazz rap. Very disappointed that wasn't the case. |
| [Baby Keem] (The Melodic Blue) 5.5/10 | The features were carrying this album so hard (except for 16 that shit was fire). |
| [Nirvana] (MTV Unplugged in New York) 7/10   | My favourite performance from Nirvana, very strong album with the best variant of every song they perform except for the 'Man Who Sold the World' and I will die on that hill. kurts range musically is crazy and fun fact apparently someone bought the cardigan he was wearing for $334k ?? Edit: 8 -> 7, just wasn't feeling it as much upon a relisten. |
| [Johnny Cash] (Live At Folsom Prison) 4/10 | Really overrated? Maybe it's because I just don't like country but this album was just really boring for me and I was not having a good time with Mr Cash. |
| [tuv] (ear candy) 3/10 | YouTubers need to stop making music holy shit what is this. |
| [N1n0] (Zerstör Dich Selbst) 2.5/10 | Not very good. I don't know how this got a 70 on aoty but harsh noise isn't my favourite genre despite popular belief. |
| [Ween] (The Mollusk) 8/10   | Another weird as album that somehow achieves its purpose (which I assume is making me an ocean man) perfectly. I've never really heard an album like this before and every song is really unique and I like it a lot, it's like a rollercoster ride but instead of ups and downs it just keeps going up until we reach the sun and die. As a side note Buckingham Green is way better than ocean man I swear to god. |
| [Slipknot] (Slipknot) 8/10   | Insane ass album with an intense but also kind of silly fun energy to it which I can't say I saw coming. My dad didn't enjoy this one though, said he found it 'pathetic' no clue what he means by that though. |
| [Swans] (Soundtracks for the Blind) 3/10 | Overrated piece of dog shit. The first three songs were the best in the entire album and only song I enjoyed on copper was the sound. I cant believe I wasted 2 hours of my life listening to this with the assumption that it would get better and it being called a masterpiece would start to make sense. I couldn't even tell this album's songs apart because they all sound the same and the whispering vocals made me feel like I was going senile. |
| [System of a Down] (System of a Down) 8/10   | My girl, you know, she lashes out at me sometimes and I just fucking kick her !! Bars. |
| [Laura Shigihara] (Plants Vs. Zombies Original Video Game Soundtrack) 7.5/10 | Why was this flash games soundtrack so good wtf. |
| [Owl City] (Ocean Eyes) 5/10 | It's fine but forgettable. Nothing stood out as bad but same goes for nothing being good, straight down the middle. |
| [MGMT] (Loss of Life) 7.5/10 | All over the place but it has a lot of great stuff, 'Dancing in Babylon' is magestic and 'Loss of Life' might be my favourite or at least one of my favourite songs this year. |
| [MGMT] (MGMT) 6/10 | First half was good, second half wasnt, probably evens out to like a 6. |
| [MGMT] (Congratulations) 7/10 | Living Tombstone ass cover. |
| [MGMT] (Little Dark Age) 7.5/10 | Random nazis online have never been the same since this dropped. |
| [Steve Lacy] (Gemini Rights) 7.5/10 | Smooth. I get why TikTok likes this stuff. |
| [Hiatus Kaiyote] (Choose Your Weapon) 6.5/10  | Best part of the album is the cover. I don't like jazz either so that doesn't help. |
| [gundeityxlestabed] (TRANS TRAP) 5.5/10 | Lucky this is only 10 minutes because if it was like 30 this would be like 2. |
| [JID] (The Forever Story (Extended Version)) 9/10 | This my son, he came from these nuts. This negro came back from school all tatted up like the sistine chapel talkin bout how he aint playin football no more. |
| [Mrgirl] (The Blackfayce - EP) 1/10 | I still think that he's doing this ironically but he's fallen so far its just kind of sad. |
| [Logic] (Ultra 85) 8.5/10 | Just looked out the window and saw a pig flying wtf. |
| [Young Alpha] (Young Alpha 5) 0.5/10 | Young Alpha couldnt even get a girl on the cover this shit is ass wtf. |
| [Earson] (Mane I Can't) 4/10 | Sometimes you dig too deep. |
| [Chance the Rapper] (Acid Rap) 7/10 | Collapses halfway through but the start and the end are pretty great and just a fun time. Very barely a 7. |
| [/.../] (1959) 5.5/10 | It's fine, didnt make me feel anything in specific it was just an alright time. |
| [Blushy Buttercup] (Dream Vessel) 2.5/10 | Guess what this has in common with mommycore. |
| [Chance the Rapper] (Coloring Book) 7/10 | Charming and infectious. Unlike acid rap it doesn't collapse halfway through but it doesn't reach as high highs as acid rap. Still puts a smile on my face though. |
| [Dream] (to whoever wants to hear) 2/10 | Yung Gravy made a song better this is not a good sign. |
| [a bunch of people] (Hazbin Hotel (Original Soundtrack)) 2/10 | It's so cringy I cant take it. If I get to hell and it's made by Vivziepop I'm gonna be so pissed. |
| [Ravyn Lenae] (Bird's Eye) 6.5/10 | It was a good listen, kept me interested and was pretty chill but didnt really leave me wanting more. |
| [파란노을 [Parannoul]] (After the Magic) 7/10 | Decided to give this a listen after seeing anthony fantano (my biggest opp) give sky hundred a 6. Pretty fire, still prefer sky hundred though !! |
| [NAV] (RECKLESS) 2.5/10 | The good: beats, the bad: everything else. |
| [Clairo] (Charm) 5/10 | I get while people like it but also it bored me to death so I don't care. Still I cant say it's bad as it clearly just isn't for me. |
| [The Dresden Dolls] (Yes, Virginia...) 3.5/10 | Made me cringe, make this all in a language I don't understand and I'll like it more. |
| [My Chemical Romance] (The Black Parade) 6/10 | Might be because I listened to this right after tcfsr but it as just too emo for me. |
| [Falling In Reverse] (Popular Monster) 2/10 | You know those videos of two squares and the smaller one is knocking against the wall and the heavier one and it's counting how many hits until the heavy one gets knocked away? Yeah. Edit: Lowkey I have no idea what I was on about. |
| [Have a Nice Life] (Deathconsciousness) 9.5/10   | I think I might like shoegaze (wtf) ?? I've never been depressed (I'm somewhat of a mental health massiah) so it's not like I relate too heavily to whats being said here, but I can hear the emotion in this and it's mad beautiful tbh (and just between me and you, I cried on 'There Is No Food'). There are also lots of bangers in this album too, like half of this album is going on my regular listening playlist and theres nothing anyone can do to stop me from playing them when I get the aux (I don't get the aux). |
| [Lip Critic] (Hex Dealer) 8/10 | I love this guys voice so much, very good addition to my favourite genre, terminally onlinecore. |
| [Bruhguy3457] (Desert of Doom) 2.5/10 | Very amateurish sounding (idk how to describe it). By the looks of the album cover it's made by a literal child though so I'm not gonna get too harsh. Edit: 4.3 -> 2.5, decided to be harsh. |
| [Logic] (Under Pressure) 4/10 | Not good, boring a lot of the time but never too bad that it was funny, just slightly above mid. |
| [Epic Mountain] (Kurzgesagt, Vol. 8 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)) 6/10 | It's good studying music istg. |
| [Death Grips] (Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix)) 7/10 | 20 minutes of pure autism holy shit. Edit: 8.5 -> 7, too autistic for me ig. |
| [SOPHIE] (PRODUCT) 6/10 | BIPP carries so hard. |
| [Harry Styles] (Fine Line) 6.5/10 | Imagine salt on white rice (it still tastes kinda good though I know this is the whitest thing I've ever said just trust me on this one). |
| [Danny Gonzalez] (Bump This) 3/10 | I'm Danny Gonzalez's biggest fan but this is kind of ass. Bad boy is pretty alright but everything else just isn't funny idk. |
| [Death Grips] (Jenny Death) 9/10  | My favourite half of 'The Powers That B'. No back cover for this one as I'm pretty sure it never got a physical release?? So tragic. |
| [Kaizo Slumber] (How Are We Feeling Today?) 7/10 | Was wondering on 'Gross Technique' how they would keep up this energy then I heard 'Gengar Ectasy' and have been twitching on the floor ever since. |
| [ian] (Valedictorian) 2.5/10 | Don't really listen to Yeat or Mabu so this just sounds really boring to me. It does not spark joy. Good thing it's only 20 minutes because I might have gone insane. |
| [Prince] (Purple Rain) 9/10 | Great cover. This album keeps growing on me and everytime I relisten I find another song I was sleeping on. I watched the movie after though and that was ass. |
| [Björk] (Vespertine) 7.5/10 | My dad complaining the whole time probably didn't help but it didn't really live up to what I expected it to be, that's just because of how high my expectations were based on it's rating on AOTY and RYM though. Still think this album is pretty good. |
| [Peter Gabriel] (So) 8.5/10 | A very groovy album and the Kate Bush feature was sick, Sledgehammer has been on repeat ever since listening. |
| [Magdalena Bay] (Imaginal Disk) 9.5/10  | Woke up, got some coffee, opened up AOTY, looked at the discover page and spat that shit out. Sorry peggy I cant listen to you I'm too busy flying, listening to she looked at me had my arms spread 400ft above ground and that was just the first song holy shit (best song is tunnel vision btw). |
| [Fontaines D.C.] (Romance) 5/10 | Great first half, shit second half. This is only saved by 'Favourite' but I was basically asleep by that point so I don't care. Starburster was one of my favourite songs of the year though so i can't put it much lower than this. Edit: 6.7 -> 5 I guess I could put it lower afterall. |
| [Tobuscus] (Exmili-Toby) 3/10 | Kyle Rittenhouse (the song) was kind of fire I'm not even gonna lie. I have it on my playlist straight up. |
| [Kate Bush] (Hounds of Love) 6.5/10 | Fairly overrated, had a few really great songs in this but a lot of boring ones making this kind of hard to sit through. Running Up That Hill classic though fr fr. |
| [LustSickPuppy] (CAROUSEL FROM HELL) 5.5/10 | A bit undercooked and after hearing goatmeal I kind of expected more but an overall fun time. Edit: 7.3 -> 5.5, this album sounds worse everytime I hear it shits crazy, still love goatmeal though. |
| [David Bowie] (Reality) 5/10 | Weird ass cover for a very mid album. Very forgettable with not a single interesting song. What happened to my goat during the 2000s? |
| [MAVI] (shadowbox) 7.5/10  | Type of shit to make you never want to listen to MAVI again it was just so soul crushingly good. Edit: Still like this one but a lot less than the first listen, 9 -> 7.5 |
| [LEGO®] (LEGO® White Noise) 0.5/10 | This was anything but a soothing experience. It made my ears feel like they were being tickled from the inside. |
| [r/kanye] (Our Beautiful Dark Twisted Subreddit) 2/10 | What I expected from r/kanye. Looks like this was fun to make but that didn't translate to being fun to listen to. |
| [Blushy Buttercup, Princess Bunny, DJ PUPPYBUTT & Starmoon] (MOMMYCORE) 2/10 | Imagine going to heaven and then having to explain to your ancestors why you listened to mommycore. |
| [Blushy Buttercup] (Dream Vessel) 1.5/10 | Furry music or not this just sucks ass. |
| [Kero Kero Bonito] (TOTEP) 7/10 | A warning shot before their hood classic Time 'n' Place. |
| [Kero Kero Bonito] (Civilisation II) 7.5/10 | We are so back. |
| [Kero Kero Bonito] (Civilisation I) 6.5/10 | When the fires come had no reason to go that hard wtf. Aside from that probably sadly my least favourite KKB project so far. Not to say its bad but it just kinda missed the mark for me with only one song I added to my playlist and the rest being just mid. |
| [your arms are my cocoon] (death of a rabbit) 4/10 | Wayy too much ambition compared to their actual ability. |
| [파란노을 [Parannoul]] (Sky Hundred) 8/10 | The light at the end of the tunnel was a flashbang. What the fuck. |
| [Vampire Weekend] (Only God Was Above Us) 7.5/10   | Vampire Weekend got me wanting to wear a beanie. Every song slaps and I thoroughly enjoyed this on first listen and second and third. Probably on like 10th by now at least. Great album. Edit: 8.5 -> 7.5, I've been on my BKNR shit and honestly I think Vampire Weekend could have pushed further on this album, still good though just doesn't hit the same. |
| [Godspeed You Black Emperor!] (Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven) 5.5/10 | Yeah I really like sitting in complete silence for half of an album, part 1 of storm was literally my favourite start to any album of all time and somehow they still fumbled. I know this is meant to be more an art peice and I appreciate that but I still don't really care, I like albums that people play and you actually hear it, you know, driving a car hearing another car playing it, you know, go to the barbershop and you hear them playing it, you know, turn the radio on and you hear them playing it, you know, it's playing everywhere, it's called great music, it's called albums that you actually hear the songs, not no mysterious shit and you never hear it. |
| [Sewerslvt] (Cyberia Lyr1+2=3) 5/10 | Sewerslvt out here dropping the most mid breakcore album on earth and somehow still making one of their best albums ever !! |
| [PARTYNEXTDOOR] (PARTYNEXTDOOR 4 (P4)) 3.5/10 | If this guy has ghostwriters, fire them. If not, please hire some. |
| [Jacob Collier] (Djesse (Vol. 4)) 3.5/10 | Should have just made a really good single instead of this boring ass album. My dad liked it though so I guess it's something. |
| [Ace of Spades (punk)] (dys) 4/10 | I can see potential but that pontential wasn't really taken advantage of until phoria. I also had a small text conversation with Ms Spades. Seems pretty cool. |
| [Hobo Johnson] (Hobo Johnson Alienates His Fanbase) 1.5/10 | This sounds like shit. I liked the title though. |
| [Max Romeo & The Upsetters] (War Ina Babylon) 8/10   | Reggae classic that not enough people talk about. Bob Marley who? |
| [Weezer] (Weezer (White Album)) 7.5/10 | Whitest thing on earth. Edit: Low hanging fruit past me. |
| [Nirvana] (Nevermind) 8/10 | A hot take but this is not a top 100 of all time, it's very good and I think I have an idea of why people love it so much but it just doesn't do as much for me as I thought it would. I didn't like how it peaked on track #1 either. Edit: 7.5 -> 8, past me clearly wasn't listening carefully as you'll find Lithium was the best track on this album. |
| [100 gecs] (10,000 gecs) 5/10 | Just as fun as the last album and sounds slightly more refined idk? It didn't have a song as good as money machine but it was a lot more consistently good. Edit: 7.5 -> 5, look down. |
| [100 gecs] (1000 gecs) 5.5/10 | It's a really really fun album what can I say. Edit: 7.5 -> 5.5 I have managed to remove the 100 gecs shaped tumour from my head I guess as their music sounds a bit obnoxious to me now. |
| [black midi] (Hellfire) 7/10 | Good but it could have been better. I don't really know how you could make it better without make it just The New Sound but yeah. |
| [Quadeca] (SCRAPYARD III) 5.5/10 | Way better then SCRAPYARD imo. This 9 minutes had me levitating, it was a very spiritual experience and easier is crazy. 8.6 -> 5.5, genuninely do not know what I was thinking, did not care for it in a relisten. |
| [Earl Sweatshirt] (Some Rap Songs) 7/10 | Very good, very depressing too. Shattered Dreams is one of my favourite opening tracks to like almost album. Edit: 7.5 -> 7, just grew off me I guess. I find myself returning to songs off this less and less and it's just gotten a bit stale I guess. Not to say I don't like it anymore though. |
| [Jane Remover] (Frailty) 8.5/10 | Show this to a Victorian child he'll fucking die, epic prank. This album is all over the place but it feels so right. |
| [SOPHIE] (OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES) 8.5/10 | I just can't see how you can be transphobic when this exists? Like what can you really do at this point. |
| [Kendrick Lamar] (Section.80) 8/10 | Hiiiipower is my most listened to Kendrick song. That's all I have to say. |
| [Joe Hawley] (Yelwah Eoj Yelwah Eoj) 1/10 | What the fuck is this Joe? Please go back to grooming minors. I know why he reversed it, copyright and shit, but like did he really think anyone who isn't a Tallyhall superfan would put in the effort to download the mp3 and manually reverse this shit. Anyways I listened to some shitty bootleg Soundcloud version of this before realising he made an unreversed version called Joe Hawley. Jokes on me I guess. This isn't really a 1 I just got too pissed off. |
| [The Beach Boys] (Pet Sounds) 9.5/10   | So charming, so creative, every single song is great no matter how many people say some haven't aged well. This is how good the Beach Boys could possibly be before they became drug addicts or whatever the fuck. |
| [Oliver Tree] (Alone In A Crowd) 4.5/10 | I think a fair bit of effort was put into this?? It's almost mid, I'm feeling a strong 5 on the next album. |
| [Weezer] (Weezer (Blue Album)) 7.5/10 | Guy on far left look like a testicle am I right lads or am I right lads? |
| [Jaden Smith] (SYRE) 6/10 | A bit overhated imo. The first 4 songs are straight fire, ninety slaps and most of the other songs are pretty alright. The last one was kind of ass but still listenable. I also don't know why people are criticising jaden for being overly egotistical when thats like 90% of rap music. |
| [Cynthoni (Sewerslvt)] (Sewerslvt Presents: Cynthoni, Pt. 2) 5/10 | Admittedly better then the first one, feels a lot more complete and clean. It's still boring though and idk how I'm seeing some people saying machine girl needs to take pointers from this. Dumbasses. |
| [Cynthoni (Sewerslvt)] (Sewerslvt Presents: Cynthoni, Pt. 1) 3.5/10 | Big downgrade from their last album and idk how that happens. It's just so boring and making use of all the weakest aspects of Sewerslvt (except for putting horrific deaths in their songs). |
| [TURQUOISEDEATH] (Se Bueno) 7/10 | A good listen. I've seen this being called a Sewerslvt clone just because it's breakcore ig but this is better then anything Sewerslvt has ever made. |
| [AmyReal] (this EP will definitely outsell ice spice and riskr) 5.5/10  | A better then expected shitpost EP by amyreal. My favourite song was 'Gambling Addictions Should Be Normalized And Encouraged'. |
| [David Bowie] (Heathen) 5/10 | A pretty mid album from bowie, had a couple bangers like 'Heathen' and 'Slip Away' but that was it. At least it wasnt as bad as some of the 1980s stuff. |
| [Death Grips] (Fashion Week) 5.5/10 | Death Grips' worst album and it wasnt even awful just empty without MC Ride's vocals. |
| [Takane Lui] (Liberty) 3/10 | Hololive makes another one of the most forgettable J-rock albums I've ever heard. If I didnt note down that I'd listened to this I probably would have forgotten. It's not only forgettable though, it also sucks ass. |
