Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicAphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92One of the most important ambient albums ever released. At a glance the music seems boring and simple, but when you really take the time to listen, a masterpiece is revealed.Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Volume IIBlack Star Black StarBoards of Canada Music Has the Right to ChildrenSimply a must have for any fan of ambient electronic music Brian Eno Another Green WorldOne of the earliest examples of true ambient music, this album is an instant classic alone for the fact that it helped forge an entire genre and influenced countless bands and artists in the process. The music is sort of a mix mash of Eno's earlier rock music and the electronic ambient music that he would focus on more in future albums. Some of the songs rank among Eno's finest work (In Dark Trees, Sky Saw, Becalmed). Burzum FilosofemConverge Jane DoeJane Doe is an album that is so angry and brutal that many will find it intolerable. But, those that approach it with an open mind and give it a chance will most likely discover a masterpiece. The album starts off at a furious pace, opening with "Concubine", a screaming grindcore frenzy that only barely slows down for the mathy and complex "Fault and Fracture." The rest of the album stays at relatively the same pace, rarely slowing down for a few calmer moments. The album's highlight is the finale, the epic 11 minute title track that wraps everything up with perfection and leaves the listener stunned even after it's over. Jane Doe is a fantastic album and most people who give it a full listen will probably agreeDJ Shadow Endtroducing.....Elliott Smith XOFaith No More Angel DustOne of the best albums of the 90s and one of my all time favorite albumsGodspeed You! Black Emperor Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to HeavenISIS PanopticonJ Dilla DonutsJeff Buckley GraceMoondog MoondogMr. Bungle CaliforniaThe third and unfortunately the final Mr. Bungle masterpiece. Here, the band pleasantly surprises fans with a more pop influenced approach while still maintaining their goofy, unpredictable style that they have been known so well for. Mike Patton really shines here with some of the best vocal performances that he's produced since Angel Dust. The musicianship is unsurprisingly top notch as well.

The band's music is more abstract and challenging here than it ever was, I you can believe that considering how abstract and challenging their first album is. Here, the band basically crams every genre that they could possibly think of into one album and make it seem easy to pull off. This album is unlike anything heard in music before or after, few bands would ever dare create music as complex as thisMr. Bungle Mr. Bunglethe first of three amazing perfect albums by one of the most underappreciated bands in music historyNick Drake Pink MoonOpeth Ghost ReveriesPorcupine Tree Fear of a Blank PlanetSecret Chiefs 3 Xaphan: Book of Angels Volume 9Slowdive SouvlakiSteve Reich Music for 18 MusiciansThe Jesus and Mary Chain PsychocandyThe Mars Volta De-Loused in the ComatoriumAn experimental masterpiece, nearly flawless album that is consistently amazing from beginning to end, it's difficult to get the full experience unless you listen to the whole album instead of just individual tracksrThe Residents Duck Stab The Rolling Stones Exile on Main St.The Roots undunYes FragileAs far as old school prog goes, this is one of the finest examples4.0 excellent2Pac All Eyez on MeAesop Rock Labor DaysAphex Twin ...I Care Because You DoSome tracks here are amazing, others are okay, none are bad.

Suspended Animation is a 30 track album, with very few songs exceeding 2 minutes in length, all of them walking a thin line between coherence and all out chaos. Unsurprisingly vocalist Mike Patton wrote all the music and provided a very fitting performance, filled with shrieks and noises that only he could pull off. Though, the highlight is Dave Lombardo's spot on drumming.

Also quite a bit less experimental. Still, there is a good deal of variety and will most likely be enjoyed by fans of Mr. Bungle. It isn't hard to tell that this is a resulting project after the disbandment of the even more metal oriented Dog Fashion Disco.

Though despite this, Busdriver still managed to achieve a bit of popularity in the underground world, mostly due to the album's obvious highlight "Imaginary Places" being featured in a Tony Hawk video game. Busdriver's most notable talent is the ability to rap at almost impossibly fast speeds (as heard on "Imaginary Places). Unfortunately this talent is rarely displayed again throughout the rest of the album, yet, would seem to lose its charm if it were used too often anyway. Fast or not, the rest of the songs are consistently good but usually don't get too much better than that, aside for some standout shining moments (Gun Control, Along Came A Biter, The Truth of Spontaneous Human Combustion). Definitely worth a listenClams Casino RainforestCloudkicker The DiscoveryA very good effort from solo artist Cloudkicker (Ben Sharp), The Discovery is an instrumental metal album that is filled with catchy riffs and odd time signatures reminiscent to Meshuggah's Catch-33. Though unlike Catch-33, The Discovery also contains elements of ambient music that is displayed in songs like "Everything's Mirrors" and "Covington." Most of the songs are very similar in sound and structure and focus heavily on repetition of evolving riffs and patterns. Although some may understandably find it to be boring, others will simply fail to tire of its undeniable catchiness.

And on this album, they decided to make 40 one minute "commercial pop songs" poking fun at the simplicity and basic formula of most pop music.

Still, the musicianship is top notch and things do change up every once in a while (and their live performances have to be seen to be believed), but everything is dragged out to such ridiculous lengths that none of that seems to matter in the end.

Few other music groups have ever made such a dramatic improvement. This album definitely should be avoided (especially for those that are new to the band), though many diehard radiohead fans will probably still like it simply because it's radioheadSkrillex My Name Is SkrillexSlipknot All Hope Is Gone1.5 very poorBruno Mars Doo-Wops & Hooligans"The Other Side" is the album's main highlight but it can not save this album from total atrocities like "The Lazy Song" and "Just the Way You Are." Some other songs are mediocre, all of it lacks any attempt at originalityChief Keef Finally RichLil Wayne Tha Carter IVLimp Bizkit Results May VaryMetallica St. AngerNickelback The Long RoadAnother painfully boring Nickelback album, that's all there is to itNickelback Dark HorseMost people would simply rate this badly and move on just because it's Nickelback, but unlike most people I actually listened to this album and really tried to approach it with an open mind. Well, the only thing Nickelback has proven here is that they know how to play something other than chords and a few songs actually have guitar solos (gasp!). But that's as far as things go. Dark Horse is basically one bland, boring, song after another. "Something In Your Mouth" and "Just To Get High" represent the album's best moments but even they are mediocre at best. Some of the songs are downright agonizing to sit through ("Shakin Hands," "I'd Come For You," "S.E.X."). Basically Nickelback doesn't even make the slightest attempt at covering any new ground or doing anything new musically and yet again do a vast majority of the songs sound almost exactly the same.
