noticed I hit 500 ratings! wow! time to stress out about it and delete them all |
| 1 |  | Fela Kuti
Alagbon Close
down to 4.5? I never listen to this, both tunes are so long and do one very good thing each, which isn't a reason to punish or change a score but I have memorized both those things |
| 2 |  | This Heat
This Heat
fascinated by 24 Track Loop which makes me overrate some of the other stuff. probably still a 5 but it's like a 5 with a linchpin instead of a steady quality 5 |
| 3 |  | Blood Incantation
Starspawn
i have this 4.5'd but I can't face ever listening to it again lol, I'm so out of metal. i tried checking a lot of generally-agreed-upon-to-be-good metal at the end of 2022 and I was so fucking bored. metal doesn't do anything I can discern as exciting and virtuosity ain't it. I only truly like the pioneers of various genres like ND, Candlemass, Voivod, so don't ask me about this stuff. could probably just delete the rating entirely |
| 4 |  | Christian Lunch
Shark Bait
i romanticized this album to the point where i wonder if I can ever hear it anymore. it's so bitty and jokey but still my exact sort of thing |
| 5 |  | Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft
Alles Ist Gut
am I brave enough to five it and admit my taste has completely reversed since I was a dance-averse proghead |
| 6 |  | Front 242
Politics of Pressure
only the opener matters on this. even it's one of my favourite songs ever, 4.5 is just howling devotion. gonna discog rate f242 along with cabaret voltaire and meat beat manifesto and skinny puppy. and possibly attrition and a few others people don't know so much |
| 7 |  | Joy Division
Unknown Pleasures
dun ner ner ner ner ner ner ner She Sad ner ner ner ner ner ner one of those 4.5s i don't actually want to listen to |
| 8 |  | Mitski
Puberty 2
i think i heard this once and picked a number out of a hat |
| 9 |  | Robert Wyatt
Rock Bottom
need to explain to myself why this isn't a five. maybe cos I'd feel like I was marking it high because the first song is an all-timer. but maybe the other songs are also all-timers and I'm just starstruck by one |
| 10 |  | The Birthday Party
Prayers on Fire
kinda wanna rate this lower. got a fondness for Nick the Stripper but this band generally um have a penchant for phrasing their songs in a way i find's the wrong type of annoying. like whether i enjoy abrasive punky music or not is entirely down to the sandpaper grade |
| 11 |  | The Sisters of Mercy
Floodland
this is a heart five and a soul five but it's a brain "1959 is unforgivably painful" |
| 12 |  | Viper the Rapper
You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack
delete rating stop being a memer |
| 13 |  | yes
Close to the Edge
delete rating stop being a memer |
| 14 |  | Akiko Yano
Tadaima
i seem to have convinced myself that this isn't city pop. but it is and im not rich enough to listen to it anymore |
| 15 |  | Collectif Incertain
Analyze Non Standard
i grabbed this off bandcamp almost completely at random then 4'd it out of buyer's pride |
| 16 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
F♯ A♯ ∞
is this a 4.0 or is it a 1.0 with an iconic intro? i think i'm too impatient to listen further in and have become averse to cinematic swell |
| 17 |  | henry cow
Western Culture
should not be this low down the rankings |
| 18 |  | kim gordon
No Home Record
willing to rate this max and then mount a defense of it that's more than "not bad considering she is old" which is really insulting and yet the narrative i remember. cherish this cd a bunch |
| 19 |  | Leatherette
Fiesta
rating is right but I need to listen to it a hundred times then review it! kinda unknown album from last year i found while scraping for anything fiery post-punk |
| 20 |  | perennial divide
Beehead
what is this |
| 21 |  | queen
greatest hits
maybe delete this and listen to an actual queen album? lol but i just know nothing'll be good as a collection of their really fun singles |
| 22 |  | saccharine trust
Paganicons
drill this into my head, it's too good for me to only remember the title. trembly punk goodness 4.9999999 |
| 23 |  | sonic youth
Daydream Nation
delete all sonic youth ratings and make a compilation cd with just kim singing |
| 24 |  | Black Country, New Road
Ants From Up There
feel like i'm being pranked by the person I was last time I listened to this, every time I listen to this |
| 25 |  | crass
Penis Envy
this is clearly better than 3.5 but the recording is even worse and more deadened than saccharine trust's is |
| 26 |  | Daisuck and Prostitute
Shinu Made Odori Tsuzukete
delete rating? did I mistake myself for julian cope? i haven't even rated boredoms yet |
| 27 |  | death grips
Year of the Snitch
could go all the way up to 4.5 5 5 50 50 pretty nine the stars are shining bright |
| 28 |  | jethro tull
Thick as a Brick
i don't know what 3.5 means if this is one. i love his playful voice and the way he tastes it each time he sings |
| 29 |  | Mark Stewart And The Maffia
Learning To Cope With Cowardice
so good, but after a while i look at the cd case and remember the length of the songs vs the time it takes for all the slogans to loop |
| 30 |  | ode and elegy
ode and elegy
can i remove this now? i was never really that convinced =P |
| 31 |  | solange
When I Get Home
to bump higher than 3.5. i dunno what it is about Solange but all her recent stuff has amazed me |
| 32 |  | the raincoats
Odyshape
this needs another chance, album so cozy and so made out of wood and wool |
| 33 |  | vektor
Terminal Redux
either delete rating or shout "i told you about stairs bro" and then feel bad and delete rating |
| 34 |  | Coldplay
Ghost Stories
everything i've rated 2 or lower: delete rating? stuff should only be hear if I was relying on it being good. goddess knows I was not relying on weezer being good. that 40 Watt Sun 1.0 in particular was just me groaning at how slow sleepy sitting-on-a-stool singer-songwriter folk rich parents boredom has done the opposite of Going Away, chasing the groove out of already tenuous indie-ish stuff and making everyone's voice faker still and it's not really any one artist's fault in particular |
