| Carly Rae Jepsen Dedicated |
This essentially feels like Emotion 2.0 in a lot of ways, which isn't a bad thing. The album
finds itself in a grey area between being well-produced and overly produced though, and
there's maybe one or two songs I could've done without. Those things aside, it's catchy and
fun and a great follow up to Emotion. |

Tough album to rate. There's a few top-tier CRJ tracks, but the rest is pretty wildly
inconsistent.
EDIT: Nevermind, album's a grower for sure. |
| Chappell Roan The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess |
Damn near close to being one of the best pop albums of the last few years - but the pacing is
boderline AWFUL. I have no problem with the occasional slow song, but for some reason they seem to
come in pairs on this album, which makes the tonal shifts all the more jarring when they happen.
When she's on, she's ON though. Really excited to see what else she does in her career. |

Holy hell! This album was awesome from start to finish, and is an improvement over their debut in
nearly every way. The compositions are more interesting, the hooks are catchier, and the flow
(which was my biggest gripe with their debut) is MUCH better. This is about as good as alt-rock
gets in 2024.
EDIT: Eh, I've cooled on this a little since it came out. Still a blast to listen to though, and
is definitely one of the highlights of 2024's Q1. |

| It gets off to a slow and kinda weird start, but once it gets going it stays consistently solid throughout. A lot more garage-rock sounding than past releases, with a few songs being reminiscent of bands like The White Stripes. Overall a really impressive album, best songs are Medicine State Garden, Fever Dream, and Great Party. |

| Finally got around to listening to this, and I'm pretty disappointed. For starters, it probably wasn't a good idea to release the best song on the album first, because it all seems to go downhill once you finish the opener. And this is WAY too disjointed - KGLW has proven to be a versatile band, but hearing the album jump from psychedelic, to indie pop, to thrash, to rap, and back again is incredibly exhausting. I'd honestly prefer either of their last three albums to this one. |

| Has some noteworthy flaws (too much filler, inconsistent writing) but they're mostly rirrelevant considering how ambitions and interesting the rest of this album is. It has rgood vocals, unique (and great) instrumental work, and an absolutely KILLER back half. |
| Knocked Loose Pop Culture |
| Korn The Serenity of Suffering |

| Every bit as consistently solid as TSoS, but with a few missteps along the way. The interludes really didn't need to be included at all, and the ending was very underwhelming. |

When she elevates her songs beyond the typical standard of minimalistic, breathy, folk-pop, the
album is REALLY GOOD. But the majority of the album is very typical melodramatic, boring folk
music that drags the rest of it down.
I don't know, I didn't love this as much as others and I never got the appeal of Phoebe Bridgers
either. Maybe folk just ain't my thing. |

| Definitely the best thing she's ever made (although the bar isn't that high). The 80's sound really works well for her, but there are definitely some duds to be found here too. It feels like she's pandering a little too hard to the 80's crowd by having features from Billy Idol and Joan Jett, and some of the slower songs miss the mark, but the highlights are VERY good. |
| Moon Kissed I’d Like to Tell You Something Important |
| Has some outstanding highlights, but also has some boring/skippable tracks. Those two spoken word interludes are so unnecessary though and add nothing to the listening experience. |

This is an improvement over their last album in almost everyway - sure it's still very much Avril
Lavigne-core, but they're pulling it off way better now. It's too bad the quality slowly dips
throughout the album, because the first handful of tracks are kick-ass. |

| This rating would probably be much higher if it weren't for one thing - the absolutely GRATING screams. Has some really catchy hooks and slaps quite a bit when she's using her cleans, but the screaming is absolutely awful. |

| Certainly not a bad album by any means, but my goodness this is a step down from their stellar debut. The ferocity and edge of their first album has almost all been replaced by generic-sounding hard rock that any other band could have done. The saving grace for this album is that at least it's hard rock that's pretty fun to listen to. |

It's a marginal improvement over Sour, but is weighed down by pretty much all the same things. The
songwriting is wildly inconsistent, with the low points being REALLY low. And there are far too
many ballads that screw with the album's flow.
But when the album hits, my goodness does it hit. She knows how to write a killer hook. Tons of
potential - hoping she can reach it someday. |

| I wanted to like this album a whole lot more, but it felt like it was lacking something. Too many of the songs are over before you really get the chance to enjoy them, though the album has some amazing high points. Some of my favorites were 'Pink Snot,' 'Ew Jersey,' and 'It's A Process.' |
| Say Anything …Is Committed |
Hearing these lyrics made me have to google Bemis real quick just to confirm that yeah, he's 40.
With 'I, Vibrator' and 'On Cum' this is legit shaping up to be some of the worst songwriting I've
ever heard.
EDIT: Holy god this album is all over the place. The lyrics range from decent to downright awful,
but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the majority of this album. Might write a review on this
because I've got a LOT of thoughts lol |
| Scene Queen Hot Singles In Your Area |
This is filled with a whole lot of cringy pseudo-feminist/try-hard edgelord lyrics, but I'd be
lying if I said this wasn't also a pretty fun album if you can get past them.
Also, '18+' is an amazing song. |

Man, this album got off to TOO good of a start for its quality to drop off so drastically. It's
really too bad, because the first few songs are truly great - but the rest are just so dull and
forgettable.
But at face value, this is a decent enough grunge/alt-rock album. Can't be too harsh considering
it's a debut. |

| They probably would've been better off cutting about half the songs and making this an EP instead - the highlights are outstanding but there's also some lame, half-baked songs on here as well. Can't be too harsh though considering this is a post-humous release. |

| I want to like this as much as everyone else here apparently does, but it just doesn't do it for me. Perry has shown signs of maturity and higher quality songwriting, sure, but the album is too consistently uninteresting to keep you hooked. A couple compelling highlights and some newfound maturity isn't enough to keep this from feeling painfully average. |

| thrown Excessive Guilt |
| It's not the worst album I've ever heard, but it's VERY one-note. It's like listening to one super long, try-hard, nu-metalcore song. |

| Perhaps one of the most frustrating albums of the year so far. Should have been great; it has some quality hooks and instrumental performances. However, the production is this album's greatest downfall. Autotune where it shouldn't be, vocals drowned out in the mix, and the breakdowns are handled just horribly. Hopefully they can put out a more polished album next time. |
| Weezer The Red Album |
| Does something that no other Weezer album does: features some good epics of 5+ minutes, but pretty much everything else sounds like it's on autopilot. Features some of the worst songwriting of Weezer's career up until this point. |

| Lol why is Avril Lavigne being praised so much for doing the same things that other aging pop-punk artists have been criticized for? Sure, there's some guilty pleasures, but the songwriting is cringey and disingenuous as hell, the features are horrible and unnecessary, and it just feels like she's trying WAY too hard. I guess this is better than her last two albums, but that is a hilariously low bar to clear. |

| Demi Lovato Holy Fvck |
I'll just be up front - I do NOT like Demi Lovato and she annoys the hell out of me a lot of the
time. With that said, I was fully expecting this album to be straight trash and it definitely
isn't that, so I'll get her some credit.
It's still not that good though, and it reeks of that sort of try-hard eDgInEsS and overproduction
that so many artists in this new wave of pop-punk have been guilty of. If she continues in this
direction though it should yield some interesting results. |
| Eat Your Heart Out Can't Stay Forever |
| Eleventyseven Basic Glitches |
At its worst, it's cringey !3OH3!-esque dance pop with mind-numblingly bad writing, and
at its best it's surprisingly well-made and catchy pop music. Unfortunately, it tips
more toward the bad side, even though there are some notable highlights that keep it
from being fully terrible.

| Their first major misstep. Starts off well enough, but the fact of the matter is that if it weren't for the middle three songs (Death of Me, Hallucinations, and Old Wounds), which all came out last year, this would be a major disappointment. The non-singles just can't do anything interesting to stay on par with everything else, aside from maybe January Rain. |

| Relient K Relient K |
| Relient K The Anatomy of Tongue In Cheek |
| I don't fully understand the higher average for this album compared to their debut. While this isn't fully awful, it doubles down on the jesus loving and repetition, leaving me feel like they didn't really improve that much at all, despite some of the songs being catchy. |
| Sabrina Carpenter Emails I Can't Send |
| Sabrina Carpenter Short n' Sweet |
| I would be willing to look past the super repetitive lyrical themes on this album if the music ritself was at least good. But my goodness, does this style of Gen Z pop need to be so god damn rslow and boring? rBut hey, if you wanna hear a bunch of downtempo and repetitive songs about boys, relationships, rand cheating, then go crazy. |

| Sleeping With Sirens Live and Unplugged |
| Decent enough music, but the album as a whole feels like little more than a quick paycheck for the band. Also, with the entire album being acoustic, it's not a very exciting listen. |
| Snow White's Poison Bite The Story Of Kristy Killings |
I'm a 25 year-old grown ass man. Why am I listening to this in the year of our lord 2024?
Joking aside, this is pretty rough to get through, but I'd be lying if I said certain parts
weren't catchy or at least fun. This band if definitely a product of their time. |
| Story of the Year Tear Me to Pieces |

| Andy Black The Shadow Side |
| Ariana Grande Eternal Sunshine |
| Jfc this is such a boring album. Even the upbeat songs are dragged down by her obnoxious, self-indulgent songwriting. I'll never understand the hype around Ariana Grande - it's like she hits a couple high notes and everyone loses their damn minds. |

resort back to the same, bland, Sirius XM bullshit they've been doing for the last few years. I
would say I'm disappointed but I think even they knew this album was gonna suck; can't remember
the last time a band released only one song prior to an album's release. |

| Disturbed Evolution |
| Echosmith Lonely Generation |
| A very repetitive, boring album from a band that once showed decent potential. This has some of the most boring instrumentation I've heard in a long time, and every song has some word or phrase that's repeated in the chorus over and over and over again. I wanted to at least enjoy it a little, but even the songwriting is boring and cheesy throughout the whole album. |
| Ellie Goulding Brightest Blue |
Side A: Boring and slow pop-ballads, way more filler than should be legally allowed, and
a few bright spots.
Side B: Repetitive and uninteresting beats, terrible songwriting, and an overwhelming
feeling of desperation to stay relevant in the mainstream pop scene.
This album makes one hour feel like three. |
| Escape the Fate I Am Human |
| Escape the Fate Chemical Warfare |
| This is just a mess. Maybe it isn't as much of a dumpster fire album that it could've been, but this band just doesn't know what it wants to do anymore. |
| Escape the Fate Out of the Shadows |
| Fall Out Boy American Beauty/American Psycho |
| Fall Out Boy M A N I A |
| Yeesh, this album is a mess. It's like they took the few things that they're last two albums got right and replaced them with all the things they're last few albums got wrong. Not one song is memorable in any good way, and this can't help but feel like a waste of talent for Patrick Stump, who still remains a great singer through all this. |
| Flyleaf Between the Stars |
| From Ashes To New Panic |
| This band wants so badly to be the bastard love-child of Hollywood Undead and Linkin Park. They normally say to not judge an album by its cover, but this is one of the rare instances where you can. |
| Glass Animals Dreamland |
| Green Day iDOS! |
| Green Day Father of All Motherfuckers |
| It's painfully obvious how little care and effort when into this, and that's probably worse than any of the actual songs on here. |
| Hannah Diamond Perfect Picture |
| This album is 50% boring as hell, 50% obnoxious. The consistent use of autotune and pitch shifts is grating the longer you listen to it, and the hooks you'd expect from a pop album are almost nonexistent. If JOTW is right and this is an improvement over her debut, then it's safe to say I won't be listening to her debut anytime soon. |

| Machine Gun Kelly Tickets to My Downfall |
| Turns out the album is pretty well represented by the cover: Machine Gun Kelly does his best Blink-182-esque pop-punk impression while maintaining all the same habits he had as a rapper, including horrible writing, over production, and needless filler. |

| A combination of two mediocre EPs - that were already difficult to get through on their own. This has some of the worst songwriting in the genre, and it's just so boring and uninspired. If you've heard any post-hardcore band from the 2010's that have nose-dived in recent years, then you'll know what you're in for. |
| Panic! at the Disco Pray for the Wicked |
| Panic! at the Disco Viva Las Vengeance |
Not quite as bad as the initial onslaught of 1's would have you think, but this still isn't great.
Sounds like Urie is running out of ideas and is just rehashing old ones, but hardly anything
stands out in a meaningful way.
EDIT: Okay, after giving it another listen and paying attention to the lyrics more, this is pretty
trash. |

| Album's decent enough, but this deluxe reissue is a pretty shameless cash grab. Only one new song?? That's a joke. |
| Sophie Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides |
| I just don't get it. Most songs just repeat their title over and over again, and it's just weird for the sake of being weird. And some of the noisier parts are legitimately hard to get through. I don't know, maybe I'll try this again in a year or two and see if anything changes. |
| Stand Atlantic Pink Elephant |
| One of the biggest and most disappointing sophomore album nose-dives in a LONG time. Over-produced, poorly written, and a complete lack of flow in the second half make this one of the worst pop-punk albums (if you can even call it that) of the year so far. |

| By far their worst album yet, and one of the worst metalcore albums I've heard over the last few years. I don't understand how they nosedived so quickly, but this was genuinely hard to finish listening to. |
| You Me At Six Suckapunch |
| I just can't warrant giving this any higher of a rating. It feels like some weird cross between Bring Me the Horizon's 'Amo' and modern Imagine Dragons. Mix in some horrible and bland songwriting, and a ton of confusing production choices, and you have this mess of an album. |

| What the hell is this artsy-fartsy, incoherent, hodgepodge of BS? God damn I would've never thought that her music would get so much worse once she started trying to be taken seriously. |
| Kiiara Lil Kiiwi |
| Easily the worst pop album of the year. I don't have the patience to sit down and write a review for this, so here are the cliffnotes: Some of the worst and most cliche songwriting (maybe ever), the same recycled minimalistic trap beats are used OVER AND OVER, and the hooks are honestly just annoying more often than not. The production is slick like any other pop record, but just about none of this actually works in any satisfying way for the listener. |
| Kim Dracula A Gradual Decline in Morale |
| This is absolutely obnoxious. This isn't "genre bending," this is just a straight up, shitty rip-off of many (much more talented) musical artists/styles. There's not a single song I have anything positive to say about - this is easily one of the worst albums of 2023 and of the decade so far. |

| My Chemical Romance The Black Parade/Living with Ghosts |
| Nothing more than a collection of scrapped, horribly-produced tracks. Feels like absolutely no effort was put into this 10th anniversary re-release. |

| If this is American then get me the f**k out of here. |

| I knew that Jared Leto has an ego but he literally QUOTES GOD. I must really hate myself to have listened to this all the way through. |
| Ticket For Famous Unbroken |
| Even with me trying to be nice, this album's a chore to finish. Uses every overdone idea from the early 2010's metalcore/post-hardcore scene, but doesn't add anything new or interesting. Maybe this band would've picked up some steam had they released this in 2011 or something. |
