| Mac DeMarco This Old Dog | 3.5 |
| I think that this album has some of the best songs that Mac Demarco has put out. And these songs manage to escape the rtypical 'Mac Demarco' sound. While he should be commended, the album kind of lags at times, which prevents this from rbeing higher than a 4. |

| Billy Bragg and Wilco Mermaid Avenue Vol. III | 3.0 |
Boys, you should've quit while you were ahead with volumes 1 + 2. Although you did bring the world more Woody Guthrie,
which is always a positive. And why does Tweedy only have like 4 songs? |

| William Tyler Modern Country | 3.5 |

As much as people criticize the extra instruments added to Townes' guitar playing and singing, he sounds pretty dang

| Street Scholars The Best Mixtape in 5evar | 1.0 |
| The Walters Hunk Beach / I Wanna Be Good | 4.0 |

| Radiohead In Rainbows Disk 2 | 3.5 |
| These are considerably shittier than the main disk |
| Plums Jen | 3.0 |
| This has a few good songs that really rip off Real Estate's style. Sprinkle in a little Mac Demarco and you got yourself an OK hipster EP. |

| Case/Lang/Veirs Case/Lang/Veirs | 3.5 |

| After about 4 or 5 songs I expected a drop in quality at some point, but it never came. |
| Magnolia Electric Co Magnolia Electric Co | 4.5 |

| Laura Stevenson Sit Resist | 4.0 |
| Radiohead Kid A | 4.0 |
| It's always interesting to think about how expectations play into the enjoyment of an album. If I expected myself to love this on the first few listens I would've probably rated it lower. But since I thought I wouldn't like this record for a while, now that I finally do I feel I've given it a kinder rating. |
| Frank Ocean Blonde | 3.5 |
Why you always gotta fuck up the flow of your albums by concentrating a shit-ton of skits at certain parts? Why Frank?

| Pavement Slanted and Enchanted | 4.0 |
| Wilco Wilco (The Album) | 3.5 |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven | 3.5 |
| Stretches of greatness but I don't think I quite 'get it' yet. Maybe I never will. |
| Noname Telefone | 3.0 |
Nothing on here is as good as her verses on Lost and Drown/Finish Line, but it's hard to recreate perfection. Good lyrics
with chill/samey production. |

| Red (USA) End of Silence | 3.0 |
| Mitski Puberty 2 | 3.0 |
| Wilco Sky Blue Sky | 4.0 |
| The National High Violet | 4.0 |
| A change in vibe/atmosphere from Alligator and Boxer but it still quintessential The National meaning it still takes a while to warm up to. |
| Gil Scott-Heron Pieces of a Man | 4.0 |
| David Bowie Aladdin Sane | 3.5 |
| David Bowie The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars | 4.0 |
| David Bowie Hunky Dory | 4.0 |
| Kaytranada 99.9% | 4.0 |
All the beats are excellent beats. The majority of the songs with features are excellent (Glowed Up isn't very good). The
atmosphere from song to song, while just different enough, form a nice cohesiveness. |
| The Tallest Man on Earth The Wild Hunt | 4.0 |
| Oh, Sleeper Children of Fire | 3.5 |
| Whitney Light Upon the Lake | 4.0 |
| Lucinda Williams Car Wheels on a Gravel Road | 4.0 |
| On paper the songs are all very good, but it just seems to draaaag when listening in one go. |
| Desiigner New English | 2.0 |
| A few decent songs intermixed with a lot of trash songs. The interludes are neutral as they don't really fit at all but they're just about the only musically creative moments on the whole tape. |
| The Hotelier Goodness | 4.0 |
| Mac DeMarco 2 | 4.0 |
| The Band Music from Big Pink | 3.5 |
| Frank Ocean channel ORANGE | 4.0 |
| A little bit too much filler and I never got the love for Super Rich Kids. |
| Flatbush Zombies 3001: A Laced Odyssey | 3.0 |
| Carly Rae Jepsen Emotion | 3.5 |
| Some FANTASTIC pop songs on this, but a few too many average songs to bump this up to 4+ |
| Weezer The White Album | 4.0 |
| Catchier than the blue album but not quite as rewarding of a listen. |
| PUP The Dream Is Over | 3.5 |
| The National Boxer | 4.5 |

| Various Artists (Country) Southern Family | 3.0 |
| Sunhouse Crazy on the Weekend | 4.0 |
| Pinegrove Meridian | 4.0 |
More complex, varied, and emo-sounding than Cardinal but I feel Meridian is worse off without country tinges present on
Cardinal and is less emotional (at least to me). All in all an excellent first LP from Pinegrove.
|
| ANOHNI HOPELESSNESS | 3.5 |
I find the lyrics as cringeworthy as much as the next red-blooded Bud drinkin' American male, but something about the
unique voice coupled with the stellar production make this record an intriguing listen.
I Don't Love You Anymore and Why Would You Seperate Me from the Earth on paper don't really seem like something I
would particularly enjoy but they're quite good. |
| The Hotelier Home, Like NoPlace Is There | 3.5 |
| Wilco A Ghost Is Born | 4.5 |
| Chance the Rapper Coloring Book | 3.5 |
| Take off Mixtape and Smoke Break and this mixtape becomes insanely better. |
| Walk the Moon Walk the Moon | 3.0 |
| A Tribe Called Quest The Low End Theory | 3.5 |
| Undoubtedly some hip-hop classic songs on this but 6/14 songs are pretty eh and sound the same. |
| Chance the Rapper 10 Day | 3.5 |
| Sturgill Simpson A Sailor's Guide To Earth | 4.0 |
| The Pharcyde Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde | 4.0 |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor F♯ A♯ ∞ | 3.0 |
| Radiohead OK Computer | 4.0 |
| I can see why the album is considered one of the best of the 90's, if I had to think of ways to improve it, I don't think I could. It's 'perfect' in that aspect, but this record doesn't speak to me on an emotional/certain time of my life level like others have. |
| Laura Nyro New York Tendaberry | 3.0 |
| Frankie Cosmos Next Thing | 3.5 |
Vocals feel like they have no life behind them in the worst hipstery way possible. Some of the songs are too short to really
reach their potential. The hook of 'I'm 20' sounds like a toothpaste commercial and the last several songs kind of drop off
in quality
Also @TheManMachine has the best and most unique soundoffs on this site. |

| Pavement Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain | 4.0 |
| The Oh Hellos The Oh Hellos | 3.5 |
| Jack's Mannequin Everything in Transit | 4.5 |
| Music kinda like Weezer but the subject matter is better and the singer doesn't have an extremely punchable bitchface and the name 'Rivers.' |
| The Jezabels Synthia | 4.0 |
| Danny Brown XXX | 3.0 |
| The Beatles The Beatles | 3.5 |
| Lynyrd Skynyrd Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd | 4.0 |

| Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning | 4.0 |
| Kendrick Lamar untitled unmastered. | 4.5 |
King Kendrick showing us he not just a 3 album hit wonder and might still have some left in the tank. Prob a 4.5 if Untitled 3
was the same as on the Colbert Show
EDIT: FUCK IT its a 4.5. DAMN. being a disappointment really showed how great Kendrick was during his TPAB sessions. |

| Drake Take Care | 3.5 |
| Elliott Smith Either/Or | 4.0 |
| OutKast ATLiens | 3.5 |
| J Dilla Donuts | 3.5 |
| Tycho Dive | 3.0 |
| The start of the first song is really blissful and might be the high point. It's a good album to do your homework to, but to actively listen to? I'm not so sure. |
| Pinegrove Cardinal | 5.0 |
Old Friends is the kind of song that feels a part of the great american songbook. You feel like you've heard the song
somewhere before, but never as realized or as affecting. The rest of Cardinal isn't too far behind. |
| Joni Mitchell Blue | 4.0 |
More than other albums from this time period, this seems like the record that all the cool kids in the early 70s were
listening to. |
| Anderson .Paak Malibu | 4.0 |
| .Paak should not have released this in January, this thing has summer vibes to the max. |
| Kanye West The Life of Pablo | 3.5 |

| Run the Jewels Run the Jewels 2 | 3.5 |
| Fleetwood Mac Rumours | 4.0 |
| Nobody really seems to mention You Make Loving Fun, but it's the best song on here. Dreams is a close second. The album is all around great but for some reason the male singer's voice kind of annoys me. |
| Wilco Being There | 4.5 |
| The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | 4.0 |
| The Beatles Rubber Soul | 4.0 |
| Hop Along Get Disowned | 4.5 |

| Julien Baker Sprained Ankle | 3.0 |
| The Beatles Revolver | 4.0 |
| Madvillain Madvillainy | 4.0 |
| Didn't understand the hype at first but rapid fire shorter songs and chaotic production work well. |
| Carole King Tapestry | 4.5 |
Near perfection. All of the songs (although not too fond of the title track) are both beautiful and able to convey the late
60's early 70's aesthetic as well as any other album. |
| American Football American Football | 3.5 |
| My Bloody Valentine Loveless | 3.5 |
| The general sound is good but gets boring long before the 48 minute runtime is up. I EVEN LISTENED TO THE WHOLE THING WHILE HIGH, but alas, I got bored halfway through. Come in Alone is a standout. I give it a 5 for creativity and a 3 for enjoyment. |
| Weezer Weezer | 4.0 |
| Van Morrison Moondance | 4.0 |
| Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot | 5.0 |
| Probably the best album of all time. |
| Big K.R.I.T. K.R.I.T Wuz Here | 4.0 |
| Big Krits best. Hometown Hero is amazing. As the album goes on it evolves into a very good, night-time sounding brand of southern rap. |
| Kanye West Yeezus | 3.0 |
| Overrated. The best songs on this showcase Kanye's pre-Yeezus side rather than his new Yeezus industrial side aside from I'm In It and Black Skinhead. On Sight and Send It Up join Barry Bonds and Drunken Hot Girls as trash-tier Kanye. |
| Kendrick Lamar Kendrick Lamar | 3.0 |
| BEYONCE IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME. Decent music from Kendrick before becoming rap royalty. I think he mentioned 'good kid mad city' in one of the songs, so its interesting to see that particular concept was in Kendrick's brain from the beginning. |
| Third Eye Blind Third Eye Blind | 4.0 |
| Big K.R.I.T. ReturnOf4eva | 3.5 |
| Hop Along Painted Shut | 4.5 |
| While the highs may not be as high and the songs not as dynamic as the previous album, this time around Hop Along rocks your socks off for 40 straight minutes with very few missteps. |
| Run the Jewels Run the Jewels | 4.0 |
| I haven't felt this hard blasting rap music out the car since 36 chambers. And this time one of the rappers is white! Everything's coming up Milhouse! |
| Counting Crows August And Everything After | 4.5 |
| Brand New Deja Entendu | 3.5 |
| Tigers on Trains Grandfather | 4.0 |
| Why does nobody talk about The Silk Road? Musically, it's gorgeous. The lyrics talk about death and invoke fantastical imagery of journeys on the silk road and being buried off the coast of Mozambique. It gives off a feeling of peace and beauty and fantasy surrounding death, which really speaks to me. As a 20 year old, death seems far off and not real, but if I'm ever on death's door, I think I'll try to listen to this song and I think it'll be comforting in a way not many other things could be. r |

| Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea | 4.0 |
| Laura Nyro Gonna Take a Miracle | 3.5 |
| Laura Nyro Eli and The 13th Confession | 4.0 |
| This record starts off with a BANG with three fast-paced varied songs and then slows down and speeds up throughout the rest. When Laura is ON she makes some of the best music I've ever heard. Her voice is very distinct and I can see how some may not like it, but I dig it. |
| Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago | 4.5 |
| Kendrick Lamar Section.80 | 4.0 |
Some say that this eclipses GKMC and TPAB but I don't see it. I do think that this shows his immense potential that he
would later capitalize on in his next albums.
Also: K Dot watchu thinking by putting out songs like Tammy's Song and Spiteful Chant? |
| Steely Dan Aja | 4.0 |
| Rae Sremmurd SremmLife | 3.5 |
| Best album to party too. Hands down. H20 LEAN SAME THING. |
| Against Me! Against Me! | 4.0 |
| Chance the Rapper Acid Rap | 4.0 |
| If Nana and Smoke Again weren't on this easy 4.5. The production is fantastic, gives off a amateur(in the best way)/forward thinking vibe. I think looking back this will be seen as influential. |
| Trophy Scars Darkness, Oh Hell | 4.0 |
| The Beatles Abbey Road | 4.5 |
| Best album The Beatles made. Enough said........... |

| Thrice The Illusion of Safety | 4.0 |
| Nas It Was Written | 4.0 |
| Kanye West My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy | 4.5 |
| Consistently good but never great. Power and All of the Lights are amazing poppier cuts while Monster and Hell of a Life are darker and harder. The vocals to Devil In a New Dress don't do justice to the beat. Runaway and Blame Game are both immensely beautiful but a little long for their own good. Lost in the World is fantastic and outside the box. It's a great record but lacks that little extra 'umph'/'it factor' that would make it amazing. |
| Kanye West Late Registration | 4.0 |
| Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt | 4.0 |
| The Smith Street Band No One Gets Lost Anymore | 4.5 |
| Wu-Tang Clan Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) | 4.5 |
| I started listening to this the summer after my senior year of HS and GOT DAM WAS I THE HARDEST MUTHERFUCKER AROUND BLASTING THIS WITH MY WINDOWS DOWN |
| Kanye West The College Dropout | 5.0 |
While everyone and their mother label Kanye "not the most technical rapper," Kanye, at least on this record, always has
something substantial to say. And his signature soulful production hasn't been bested since. Not by Kanye or anyone else. |
| At the Drive-In Relationship of Command | 3.5 |
| Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me | 4.0 |
| Alter Bridge AB III | 3.5 |
| Porcupine Tree In Absentia | 4.0 |
| There Will Be Fireworks The Dark, Dark Bright | 5.0 |
| The Mars Volta De-Loused in the Comatorium | 4.0 |
A record of very interesting and chaotic music and lyrics. This has just the right amount of melody and dissonance. The concept of being in a coma and trapped in a hospital are very scary to me so this can sometimes bring out a feeling of anxiety and fear, which is always a plus  . |
| Nas Illmatic | 4.5 |
| back when i thought i was black, this shit right here gave myself all the reason i needed to think that i was about that life. 36 chambers? that shit was too fkin hard for me. but this shit? thats that shit. |
| TesseracT One | 4.0 |
| The Reign of Kindo The Reign Of Kindo | 4.5 |
| Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here | 4.0 |
| Hard to find a lot of faults with this. Welcome to Machine has kind of a different vibe than the rest and is a little long, but the Shine-ons are beautiful and the remaining two songs are rock classics. |
| Agalloch Ashes Against the Grain | 4.0 |
| Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon | 4.5 |
| Plini Other Things | 3.5 |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada | 3.5 |
