	Various Artists Sonic Adventure Original Sound Track Given I'm a Sonic the Hedgehog fan, it's impossible not to give this album a '5', especially given it's the soundtrack to one of my favorite games from the series. Make no mistake though, the Sonic Adventure soundtrack is a palette full of varying genres and styles that ranges from ambience, rock, jazz, dance, and more. Character themes are accompanied by either rock guitars, saxophones, strong vocals, rapping, or a piano on reverb with a melancholy melody. You'll also get the stage music; from the depths of the Lost World orchestra to the blissful new tomorrow with "At Dawn" from Speed Highway, it's near impossible to find a poor track on he	5.0 10.13.25
	Various Artists A Very Special Christmas Wild to see this album on this website; it's an album I very much grew up with and was played frequently during the Christmas season. Not everything here knocks it out of the park, but Eurythmics' "Winter Wonderland" is iconic, and Whitney Houston's "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is one of the best renditions of the song out there.	3.5 10.13.25
	As I Lay Dying Through Storms Ahead It's hard to not address the elephant in the room; the album art on "Through Storms Ahead" is confusing. Is the flame supposed to be there to signal that they're starting anew? What are those rock things in the sky?rTruth be told, the flame might be emblematic of what's really left of this band. They've got new members (mostly) this time around, writing music that does fit the pattern of how an As I Lay Dying song would go - yet lacking any soul. This all feels like stock music that's supposed to sound akin to AILD, that despite the talented musicians within the mix, no doubt most of this could've been written in a day or two within studio ti	1.5 10.08.25
	Attack Attack! Attack Attack! II Supposedly Attack Attack! maxed-out 3 credit cards to up the ante on the production for the 'sequel album' to not their biggest record, but their most consistent. Enter "Attack Attack II", something that manages to actually surpass the previous album in due to monster choruses, heavy lows, and crisp mixing that never slows down its pace. Opener 'ONE HIT WONDER' feels more reminiscent of some of their recent EPs and is probably the worst song on the record, but even then it still checks out. No, it's when the listener is treated to songs like 'Chainless', 'Walk on Water', and 'Big Booty Britches' where the infectious melodies swarm your ears a	4.0 09.02.25
	Jonas Brothers Greetings from Your Hometown Preface: over 20 producers on this thing?!? Rating: In terms of recency, "Happiness Begins" hasn't aged too well for the Jonas Brothers, yet "The Album" strangely has. What at the time felt like an excuse to make nearly every song under 3 minutes to land on TikTok ended up still holding up thanks to the strange production choices that give it more of an edge over "Happiness Begins" and now "Greetings From Your Hometown". When the best song on the record is the first song ('I Can't Lose'), there's a problem. The Springsteen-inspired 'Love Me To Heaven', and the unapologetically-ripoff of the Bee Gees 'No Time To Talk' are memorable for how con	2.5 09.02.25
	Michelle Branch The Spirit Room Until 2025, the only two songs I knew from "The Spirit Room" were 'Everywhere' and 'All You Wanted', which fortunately but unfortunately for Michelle Branch, they're the best 2 songs on this record. I gave the album a listen after hearing a song from it featured in a random movie, and the album as a whole is still quite good; again those 2 songs though really were the smart choices for singles. 'You Set Me Free' and 'Sweet Misery' come the closest to replicating the kinetic energy found within the 2 big songs, and perhaps it's a nostalgic feeling that might catapult those songs to such a high regard on my end. The album luckily also features	3.5 09.02.25
	Hot Milk Corporation P.O.P "Corporation P.O.P" scores the same as Hot Milk's previous album "A Call to the Void". Yet "A Call to the Void" is the better album, it contained one utterly dud of a track that it killed the vibe of the rest of the album. "Corporation P.O.P" has no dud tracks, but there's easily a bunch within the mix that are forgettable. Songs like the opener '(How Do I) Make the Devil Fall Asleep', 'Swallow This', and even the 30 Seconds to Mars-ripoff song 'Chase the Dragon' all feel like the band staying consistent to please their growing fanbase. Where the album starts to feel innovative is within songs like 'Sunburn From Your Bible' and 'Warehouse Sal	3.0 09.02.25
