5.0 classic
Agents of Oblivion Agents of Oblivion
Alice in Chains Facelift
Alice in Chains The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
RIP Jerry's hair.
Amon Duul II Yeti
This is the apex of psychedelic rock.
Big Black Songs About Fucking
The best noise rock album ever made.
Brainticket Cottonwood Hill
Essential psychedelic rock.
Can Ege Bamyasi
Coil The Ape of Naples
Coil go out in haunting fashion. RIP Jhonn & Sleazy.
Deftones Saturday Night Wrist
Why this isn't as highly praised as White Pony is beyond me. It's a perfect blend of heavy and soft, Chino's croons are sexier than ever, the songs simply ooze with majesty and dreamy vibes.
Diamanda Galas Vena Cava
Listening to Plague Mass had me thinking "this can't be topped" and then I spun Vena Cava and was humbled once again.
Godflesh Us and Them
Godflesh Streetcleaner
Isis Celestial
Labradford Prazision
Like a better version of Slint, and more ethereal.
Mercury Rev Yerself Is Steam
Nine Inch Nails The Fragile
Nirvana Nevermind
The album that Nirvana fans are supposed to pretend isn't as good as In Utero, when in
reality it slightly edges the latter. Good production, hooks, melodies, songwriting etc.
Overrated? Sure but what classic album isn't? People (I'm eyeballing you Nick Butler) you
don't have to play the contrarian just for the sake of it, you don't have to pretend that
SLTS isn't one of their best songs. Alright? Lets not play games here kai thx bai.
Sonic Youth Bad Moon Rising
Fucked up and spacey. Probably their most interesting work.
Soundgarden Superunknown
Timeless, virtually flawless, a band at their apex.
Soundgarden Down on the Upside
Swans Soundtracks for the Blind
A monolithic achievement, you can pretty much skip every post rock album and just listen to
this because it's the real thing. Although it's not just a post rock album, it encompasses
many genres while at the same time transcending them.
Swans The Great Annihilator
Swans Children of God
Swans White Light From the Mouth of Infinity
Makes Joy Division sound amateur.
Them Crooked Vultures Them Crooked Vultures
Ween The Mollusk

4.5 superb
Amon Duul II Tanz Der Lemminge
Bjork Medúlla
Far more interesting and daring than Homogenic.
Bob Dylan Bob Dylan
Butthole Surfers Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac
Butthole Surfers Locust Abortion Technician
Can Future Days
Sexy and relaxing.
Can Monster Movie
Captain Beefheart Doc at the Radar Station
Cat Power Moon Pix
Celtic Frost Monotheist
A triumphant last hurrah that dwarfs their previous work in terms of ambition and heaviness. Oh it's heavy.
Coil Horse Rotorvator
Dax Riggs Say Goodnight To The World
Death Grips The Money Store
Lots of fun.
Electric Wizard Witchcult Today
Ether Music For Air Raids
Faun Fables Early Song
Faust Faust So Far
Faust Faust
Gnaw Their Tongues All The Dread Magnificence of Perversity
Godflesh Love and Hate in Dub
GZA Liquid Swords
Madvillain Madvillainy
Melvins Honky
Average rating should be 4.1 at the very least. This is easily their most daring work to date.
Melvins Hostile Ambient Takeover
Melvins Stoner Witch
Melvins The Bride Screamed Murder
Men Without Hats Rhythm of Youth
Mr. Bungle Disco Volante
Navicon Torture Technologies Scenes From the Next Millenium
Essential listening for fans of power electronics.
Nurse With Wound Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table...
An essential noise/avant-garde album that still holds up very well. Six buttons of sex
appeal is pretty much what severe mental illness sounds like.
Os Mutantes A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado
Queens of the Stone Age Era Vulgaris
Queens of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork
Roxy Music Country Life
Sparklehorse Vivadixiessubmarinetransmissionplot
Spires That In The Sunset Rise Spires That In The Sunset Rise
One of the most fucked up records ever made, incredibly dreary, haunting, and morbidly twisted. Truly worthy of the name "Acid Folk".
Swans The Seer
Swans The Burning World
Fantastic from beginning to end, Gira's disdain for this record doesn't change that. It showcases Swans at their most stripped down and vulnerable, a real treat for acoustic music lovers.
Swans My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky
One of the best comeback records ever made, despite it being a half Swans half Angels of Light affair. A lot of great moments, You fucking people make me sick being the biggest highlight.
Terry Reid Seed of Memory
The Flaming Lips Embryonic
Throbbing Gristle Part 2: The Endless Not
Type O Negative October Rust

4.0 excellent
Amon Duul II Made In Germany
Ash Ra Tempel Ash Ra Tempel
Autolux Future Perfect
Boris Präparat
Buckethead Colma
Butthole Surfers Weird Revolution
2.9? Should be 3.9 at the very least. More proof than ever that people don't like when bands actually try different stuff.

They've still got it, they can still write great songs. Really makes you wonder what the record after DOTU would have sounded like had they not disbanded.
Stan Rogers Turnaround
Stone Sour House of Gold and Bones - Part 2
On par with their debut, this was a pleasant surprise.

The Stooges Ready To Die

Colin Stetson New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light

Only listened to it to see what the big fuckin' deal is. Turns out the hype is grossly
unwarranted.
Frank Ocean Channel Orange
Grizzly Bear Shields
James Blake James Blake
Merzbow 1930
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds No More Shall We Part
Panda Bear Person Pitch
I guess making songs echoey counts as psychedelic these days.
Pixies Doolittle

Snowmine Laminate Pet Animal
Spacemen 3 The Perfect Prescription
Television Personalities And Don't the Kids Just Love It
The National Trouble Will Find Me

1.5 very poor
Andy Stott Luxury Problems
A couple sensual moments keep it from being totally awful, but it sounds like the artist
just didn't give a shit throughout most of the record.
Daft Punk Random Access Memories
Depeche Mode Delta Machine
Grandaddy The Sophtware Slump
My Bloody Valentine m b v
God damn they phoned it in on this one
Sunn O))) Monoliths and Dimensions
Aghartha starts off promising and then wears out its welcome after 3 minutes. Cheesy vocals included once again, Sunn O))) gonna Sunn O))).
The Strokes Angles

1.0 awful
Cromagnon Orgasm
Frank Zappa The Man from Utopia
Godspeed You! Black Emperor 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
I feel this was praised simply because it's a GY!BE record. They've reached Radiohead status to where anything they put out will be deemed brilliant in some way. Interested to see what direction they take on their next record, but this one contains nothing inspired, nothing new, and nothing worth noting.
Lightning Bolt Ride The Skies
Mike Patton Pranzo Oltranzista
Naked City Torture Garden
Diarrhea vocals, instruments played at lightning speed sounding like one giant mess. Seemingly zero passion involved.
Pavement Slanted and Enchanted
Shellac Terraform
Stars of the Lid And Their Refinement Of The Decline
Cure for insomnia 101.
Suicide Suicide
Sunn O))) ØØ Void
Sunn O))) White1
