5.0 classic
Alice in Chains Jar Of Flies
Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique
Beck Odelay
Don't know WHY it took me so long to listen to this album in its entirety - this has to be one of the best genre-hopping albums ever made, and has some of the best sampling I've ever heard, right up there with Paul's Boutique.
Carly Rae Jepsen Emotion
Hands down the best pop album of the 21st century so far.
Deftones Diamond Eyes
Green Day American Idiot
Koji Kondo The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time OST
Laura Stevenson Wheel
Linkin Park Hybrid Theory
Lorde Melodrama
Magdalena Bay Imaginal Disk
Absolute no-skip album. I know this album is a little more "chill" than their debut, but it has no real downsides, probably about 4-5 songs that are SOTY candidates, and it flows like a damn dream.

I don't remember the last time I gave an album a 5 so quickly, but this is one of the best indie albums of the last handful of years. This hit some kind of chord with me that I just can't adequately explain.

Poppy EAT (NXT Soundtrack)
First three songs are all 5's in my book, then it sorta trails off by the end. Still an routstanding EP though, and definitely Poppy's heaviest to date. Makes me hope they stick to this rsound moving forward, because this EP is a home run. rEDIT: Nevermind, this all slaps.

Bring Me The Horizon POST HUMAN: NeX GEn
As someone who was very skeptical of how this would turn out...I'm completely floored. I understand where other peoples' complaints are coming from, but I absolutely LOVE the flow of this thing. I never would've thought such an auditory clusterf**k like this would work so well. This is a contender for AOTY in my book.

Deftones private music
Went into this at first thinking this was more-or-less typical Deftones (which is still way better than most albums) but the more I listen to it, the more it sticks with me. With a discography as stacked as theirs, it's hard to say where this ranks amongst their best, but it's gotta at least be a top 3-5 album of theirs. I probably prefer this over Ohms.

I'll still die on the hill that Joyce Manor's albums are too short and their songs often don't feel fleshed out enough... But man, at least there's no filler, all 19 minutes of the album feel passionately curated, and every song has some catchy-as-fuck part of it. Probably my favorite JM album so far.

Do comedy albums qualify as AOTY contenders? Because with this release, they sure do now. Burnham has always been a good writer, but this album finds him honing his craft even further. You?ll laugh and you?ll cry with this one.

Album is still as timeless as ever and it's super cool to see Cut to the Feeling on an official tracklist. That said, the only real downside is that the 4 added songs don't quite reach the level of the original album's quality.

A truly haunting yet masterful collection of compositions to perfectly fit the movie that it accompanies. I'd recommend it to any one who liked the movie, or enjoys listening to classical music, as this is one of the best movie soundtracks I've ever listened to.

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.

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.

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.

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. EDIT: Okay, I've cooled on this a bit. The album's inconsistency is by far it's biggest flaw.

Great instrumentation throughout, and the psychedelic influences are awesome. I just feel like the album doesn't flow very well, and some filler could've been cut.

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.

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.

It's an improvement over Sour, but is weighed down by pretty much all the same things. The rsongwriting is wildly inconsistent, with the low points being REALLY low. And there are far too rmany ballads that screw with the album's flow. But when the album hits, my goodness does it hit. rShe knows how to write a killer hook. Tons of potential - hoping she can reach it someday. EDIT: rit's 6/12/26 and her potential has officially been reached.

This is a lot better than I thought it'd be when Edging came out, but the crappy production still weighs it down too much. Could've easily been a 3.5 or 4 if it was mixed better.
Blood Command Praise Armageddonism
Bring Me The Horizon Count Your Blessings \| Repented
I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, this sounds MUCH better than the original rversion (at least to me), and the improved production/vocals is a welcome change. On the rother hand, this is the same ol' debut we've known for decades now, same problems and all. rDehumanized is sick, but it stands noticeably taller than most of the re-recordings, which rmakes me just wish they had done more new music in this style instead of redoing their old rstuff.
Charli XCX Brat
Wish I could enjoy this as much as everyone else does. It's far from bad, but this style of abrasive, heavily produced dance pop just doesn't do it for me. There's some cool beats though.

Not quite sure if I understand the hype behind this one. This ranges from retro-sounding dance pop to your typical modern pop fare. Some tracks are great, but others are simply bland and forgettable. Unfortunately the weak ending doesn't help either.

I've liked their past releases so I was hoping I'd like this more. And really it's not bad, but they could've afforded more variety since all the songs sort of blend together by the end. And the cover of Don't Speak was very disappointing, I thought they'd do literally ANYTHING different from the original song, but nope.

The highlights indeed slap, but I'm gonna continue 3'ing this band until they can release something with some damn variety.

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. rWith 'I, Vibrator' and 'On Cum' this is legit shaping up to be some of the worst songwriting I've rever heard. rEDIT: Holy god this album is all over the place. The lyrics range from decent to downright awful, rbut I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the majority of this album. Might write a review on this rbecause 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.
Tool Lateralus
I understand that progressive music can be lengthy, and this band has indisputable musical talent, but my god, this is the album where you have sit through 40 minutes of nothing just to hear about 25-30 minutes of great progressive rock.

Marmozets Knowing What You Know Now
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.

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.

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.

Their first major misstep.

The non-singles just can't do anything interesting to stay on par with everything else, aside from maybe January Rain.

The Mars Volta Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos Del Vacío
Yeah...I just don't get it. This was one of my most anticipated albums in a while but it was very disappointing in my opinion. Yes, the cohesion/flow is admirable, but this kinda just sounds like a few very talented musicians dicking around in a studio for 50 minutes. So many tracks come and go without leaving any sort of impression or lasting impact. For me, it's about on the same level as the S/T album, if not a little worse. Who knows, maybe it'll grow on me.
The Pretty Wild zero.point.genesis
Has its moments, but it's far too derivative of other bands in the genre to me and also VERY overproduced. I'd like to think this group has potential, but this isn't an amazing debut.

2.0 poor
Amaranthe Manifest
Anti-Flag Lies They Tell Our Children
As It Is The Great Depression
Asking Alexandria Asking Alexandria
Avril Lavigne Love Sux
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.
Beautiful Bodies Battles
At the end of the last song, Solombrino sings the line "I wish I could be better" over and over and I'm like, yeah I wish this album was better too.
Black Sabbath Never Say Die!
blink-182 California

Breathe Carolina It's Classy Not Classic

It has some fun moments, and I guess is better than it could have been, but it's still bogged down by over-production and recycled beats.
Bring Me The Horizon This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For
Bullet For My Valentine Temper Temper
Charli XCX Pop 2
Code Orange I Am King
Coletta Idealism
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
Eidola Mend
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. BEST: Skip, Letterman Jacket, Natsunoyo WORST: Cookie, Battlecats, Fear the Fire, Killing My Vibe
Emarosa Sting
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.

Bold, big, and ambitious, but this feels so hollow. Granted it's my first time listening to Marianas Trench, but this album feels far too bombastic for its own good.
Marilyn Manson The High End Of Low
Megadeth Megadeth
Sad to say, but Megadeth went out with whimper with this one instead of a bang. It's on par with Super Collider, which is definitely not a good thing.

Neck Deep All Distortions Are Intentional
First and last songs are probably the best, but yeesh the production on this is rough. Too much autotune throughout, and there are some effects used that would sound cheesy on mid-2000's dance-pop album. Hopefully the band can bounce back from this obvious misstep.

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.
Relient K Relient K
Sabrina Carpenter Short n' Sweet
I would be willing to look past the super repetitive lyrical themes on this album if the music itself was at least good. But my goodness, does this style of Gen Z pop need to be so god damn slow and boring? But hey, if you wanna hear a bunch of downtempo and repetitive songs about boys, relationships, and cheating, then go crazy.

Sleep Token Take Me Back to Eden
Not gonna lie, I fuck with The Summoning, and that's the main reason this isn't a 1.5 (but the rest of this is such a snooze fest jfc)
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
I'm all for pop-punk veterans continuing to use the sound that made them a success to begin with, but good golly these lyrics are so cringey and pandering. Only one or two songs I could see myself coming back to.

VUKOVI It Looked So Good on Me...
Yeah...this is pretty rough. I'll give them a pass because this was their debut EP and they would definitely go on to refine their sound over time, but I can't see myself going back to any of these songs if I'm being honest.

All Time Low Last Young Renegade
All Time Low Tell Me I'm Alive
All Time Low lately has had a pattern of releasing something decent, then something dogshit, and so-and-so back and forth. Since their last album was decent, it only makes scientific sense that this one is dogshit.
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.
Ashnikko Demidevil
Asking Alexandria Stand Up and Scream
Asking Alexandria Like a House on Fire
Asking Alexandria See What's On the Inside
What a boring, lifeless album. Every time they start to do something remotely interesting, they 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.
Asking Alexandria Where Do We Go from Here?
Opener was kinda cool, but I've otherwise lost all hope in AA turning things around at this point. They've been on a downward spiral ever since Warsnop returned.

Step 1: Fire your original screamer Step 2: Get exposed for essentially being the scene version of Milli Vanilli Step 3: Make a watered down, shittier version of what every other Risecore band does Step 4: Profit? Album is dogshit.
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.
Etienne Sin The Art of Stealing Hearts
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 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.
Green Day iDOS!
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.
Hilary Duff luck… or something

Love, Robot B.A.D.
Imagine if they took Paramore's sound but with worse vocals and non-existent hooks. Each song went by without any memorability to them. As a pop-punk album this is pretty much an utter failure.
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.
Madonna Madame X
Maggie Lindemann Headsplit
Meghan Trainor Title
Melanie Martinez Hades
There are enjoyable moments sprinkled throughout, but they're way too few and far between. And the album as a whole is ENTIRELY too long. 95% of this is a terrible, self-indulgent, boring slog to get through. Not to mention the lyrical content is awful throughout. There are far more enjoyable, and less problematic, pop artists out there more worthy of your time. Might I suggest Hilary Duff?

This makes Restoring Force look like a masterpiece. Such a disappointment.
Our Last Night Let Light Overcome The Darkness
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.
Picturesque Do You Feel O.K.?
Poppy A Very Poppy Christmas
PVRIS Use Me (Deluxe)

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.

With the exception of a few tracks, all the covers are very forgettable. In the end, this compilation album should have never been made.
Wage War Stigma
While She Sleeps Self Hell
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.

There aren't enough psychedelics in the world to help me see the artistic vision behind this EP. Hard to believe someone in a studio heard these songs and gave the OK for them to be released. If they had done a whole album in this "style," I think it would be in the running for worst album of the decade so far.

Holy mother of GOD this is as bad as I thought it might be. You wanna hear a rich POS whine about cancel culture? This is the album for you. Honestly this is one of the worst albums of the 2020's so far.
FEVER 333 Wrong Generation
This was made with the best of intentions, but let's be real: Jason Butler is a terrible rapper, the lyrics are incredibly repetitive and predictable, and there are no interesting beats or instrumental moments to supplement Butler's grating vocals. Thankfully this wasn't longer, but it's still a slog to get through.

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.

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.
