Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicModest Mouse The Lonesome Crowded WestThe lyrics. THE LYRICS. So cynical, and oh so clever. All about being against western culture and society. They rock hard too. It can go from something as wacky as Shit Luck, and then go to something as calming as Polar Opposites. This album is quite the ride. FAV TRACKS: Teeth Like God's Shoeshine and Truckers Atlas. And seriously, Shit Luck's hilarious.Modest Mouse The Moon & AntarcticaCompletely blown me away from the first track, I remember getting goose bumps listening to it. Be aware that I'd only listened to Good News at the time, so this album was a total surprise and made me get hooked up with the band. It's wacky and nihilistic and gloomy, it goes everywhere, but in the end always gets back to the spacy vibes that this album revolves around. And of course, the lyrics are amazingly worded and poetic. FAV TRACKS: Oh god no, don't make me choose.Murder by Death Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them?I'm a little biased probably, because this is a concept/storytelling album with themes that I'm interested in. But geez, the Devil visiting the wild west to ruin a little town? That's a nice story. And the cello parts that MbD is known for suit this amazingly well. The tracks sound a little somber thanks to it, along with the piano and the calm guitars. It was a great album where you could imagine the story throughout the tracks. I want more albums like this. FAV TRACKS: The Desert's on Fire, Devil in MexicoThe Caretaker Everywhere at the End of Time5/5 gave me a panic attack Okay so I couldn't bear to finish a single track of that album above because it grabbed one of my biggest phobias in the ass and fucked it so hard I ended up with a MASSIVE panic attack and I ended up dissociating. Not very pretty. I hate the thought that I'll lose myself one day.4.5 superbAmerican Football American FootballBaths ObsidianThis album is like a sheet of sadness softly covering you. Sadness embraces you. Obsidian is surely a very personal album, but one I can highly relate with. I generally really love the musical style, I like how it somehow keeps a balance between an easy melody to follow and a little wackiness (the glitching). Some people dislike Wiesenfield's singing voice, but I think the soft vocals resonate well with the equally soft instrumental style. FAV TRACKS: Ironworks, No EyesBuilt to Spill Keep It Like a SecretListened to it to compare with Modest Mouse, but shit, this is so good. I adore the melodies. And while everything sounds happy, the lyrics are sad in a subtle way. FAV TRACKS: Carry the Zero, You Were RightFeed Me Jack AnatoliaIAMX Kingdom of Welcome AddictionKaizers Orchestra Ompa Til Du DorKeiichi Okabe Nier Automata OSTKeiichi Okabe NierMiles Davis Kind of BlueThis is a classic as many know. An album that is easy to the ears, while still being as jazzy as it can be, but still soft. I often listen to jazz to relax, and Miles Davis really delivers my purpose to me. FAV TRACKS: Not sure, I didn't keep track to the track names. Should listen again sometime.Modest Mouse This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think AboutOrchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark Architecture & MoralityAt first it may sound like typical synthpop with new wave elements, but this band seems to get how to convey emotion in this genre. The melancholic atmosphere that this album envelopes somehow appears not only in the lyrics, but even in the sound despite its catchiness. That's what makes this album so amazing, and makes me strongly appreciate this band. FAV SONGS: Souvenir, Of All The Things We've MadePink Floyd Wish You Were HereEvery track here means so much in a lyrical, atmospherical and emotional sense. And all pieces fit together so well. An effective album for the souls of many. FAV TRACKS: Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (the division put in opening and finale is fucking genius too)Pink Floyd The WallQueen A Night at the OperaSparks Kimono My HouseStreetlight Manifesto Somewhere in the BetweenGod fucking damn this album is so good. It's like a great spectacle overall, and the lyrics are mostly narrative. The very first track already kicks you right away in the album. Damn catchy album I can't immediately get tired of. FAV TRACKS: Would You Be Impressed, What A Wicked Gang Are We, Somewhere In The BetweenStreetlight Manifesto Everything Goes NumbSystem of a Down HypnotizeAw come on, Daron isn't that bad, y'all guys just compare it too much with Serj's singing. It's a completely different atmosphere, but not one I find better or worse. Lonely Day is so bad though. Otherwise it's filled with amazing tragic lyrics and eargasming guitar shit. Haha. I do think the lyrics are generally harder to understand? Maybe that's why they're harder to dig. FAV TRACKS: She's Like Heroin (so far one of my favourite Soad songs, I can totally explain you why), Holy Mountains, Kill Rock 'n Roll, U-Fig... goddamn I love most of the songs in this album haha4.0 excellentAJJ Can't MaintainAJJ People Who Can Eat People are the Luckiest PeopleAnamanaguchi [USA]Baths CeruleanClever Girl No Drum And Bass in the Jazz RoomCornelius FantasmaDeafheaven SunbatherEverything Everything Get to HeavenFishmans Long SeasonGiles Corey Giles CoreyGoreshit semantic compositions on death and its meaningHiroshi Yoshimura Wet LandIAMX The Unified FieldIglooghost Neo Wax BloomJean-Michel Jarre OxygeneJYOCHO Let's Promise to Be HappyKaizers Orchestra MaestroKraftwerk AutobahnLee Morgan CornbreadMGMT Little Dark AgeMindless Self Indulgence You'll Rebel To AnythingModest Mouse Building Nothing Out of SomethingMother Mother The SticksMother Mother Touch UpMother Mother O My HeartPink Floyd The Dark Side Of The MoonJesus fucking christ those lyrics.

FAV TRACKS: Whale SongMurder by Death In Bocca Al LupoMy Chemical Romance The Black ParadeI'm gonna admit, I know little about this specific genre, but nevertheless it was a blast to listen to! Not the best lyrics ever, but surely an encouraging album for the sad young souls. FAV TRACKS: Not sure yet, but I always loved Mama before listening to the album.Nero's Day at Disneyland From Rotting FantasylandsPure perfection if you like glitch, chaos and raging emotions. I sure do. The raging emotions can also be replaced with creepiness, but I don't find the tracks all too horror-like.

The album isn't as sad as it seems actually. It's very calming and heartwarming, something you could sleep with (and gently fuck with, apparently). If I were to rate this completely subjectively it would've been 4.5 or even 5. There's something inexplicable that I adore about this album.

James AlbumArctic Monkeys HumbugBaths RomaplasmBee Gees Bee Gees 1stCornelius SensuousDamien Rice My Favourite Faded FantasyThe amount of personal sentimentality in this album, and perhaps the artist in general, is so clear and beautiful. Before this album I'd only heard of Rootless Tree, a song that brims with so much emotion so I already respected the artist from there on, due to a single song. I can already tell Damien's intentions are to simplify music yet give of the essential emotion, and make that as intense as possible, and he succeeds quite nicely at times. He makes a fuckton of use of strings for climaxes, and while it's not unique at all, it works. And it slowly ends with hopefulness. The disadvantage? It's not for everyone, which makes sense anyway. You need to understand the feelings to understand the album. Also the lyrics are kind of too straightforward. And it gets a bit repetitive.

It's a good feisty ball of weirdness and anger with very lovely lyrics. However, there isn't enough going on for me and it even gets quite repetitive with that retained minimalist approach they're going for. I understand this album must've been amazing that time, but ouch, it didn't age so well in my opinion. I may not have given them a 5, but I'm extremely grateful for the band's very existence.Porter Robinson WorldsRadwimps Altocolony no TeiriRooftops A Forest Of PolarityRyo Fukui ScenerySystem of a Down MezmerizeCould've been 3.5 but... It feels kinda lackluster. Maybe it's too controlled to me, not sure. I definitely need to listen to this album again. I think I generally have pretty controversial opinions towards this album too. I love the songs that people seem to be eh towards, but dislike the ones they love. FAV TRACKS: Question!

It was pretty nice, but nothing special. FAV TRACKS: Daniel in the DenBaths Pop Music/False B-Sides(Listen again later, Spotify is an ass and I hate using it) There's some bad mixing here and there, but still worth listening if you're into Baths, especially the vibes from Cerulean. If some of the tracks had better mixing it could've been a very solid album. FAV TRACKS (leaving out the ones reappearing in Cerulean): Turian Courtship, Overseas, and if it had better mixing, The VaporsBjork HomogenicAlbum would've probably been 3.5 or even 4 if not the vocals. They're quite dissonant from most of the songs. It's quite a bummer, because the music itself is right up my alley. The voice is simply too high in my opinion. I'm very surprised people adore this album.rHit me up when the album gets an instrumental version.BTS Love Yourself: 承 'Her'Crystal Castles Crystal Castles IIIDaughters You Won't Get What You WantDeath Cab for Cutie TransatlanticismNot feeling it. Technically good, but there's about 0 emotion. I can't feel the lyrics without that.Dntel AimlessnessDungen 4Eevee UnexpectedI thought I'd already rated this album, oh well. It's not that forgettable, I just forget to rate it. Very chill, very fun to listen to. Feels good in the ears (unless your headphones really suck). It's good enough for background music, but nothing more than that. It's not something I'd listen to again, I think.

It's pretty decent, pretty experimental for this band. The more you listen to it the more you can appreciate it. It's a mix of pop (yes, fucking pop), rap, electronic and and... Lp style. I never liked raps in Lp though. FAV TRACKS: I don't know, New Divide?Los Campesinos! Hello SadnessTrying to sound clever in emotional songs that actually have pretty boring themes. A lot is about heartbreak, something I cannot relate to which may have affected the score. Some of the songs may have been boring if only the vocals weren't so unique since they don't really nail it either way. It's an emotion-filled album for sure. FAV TRACKS: The Black Bird, The Dark Slope (which is an amazing track by the way, despite everything). To Tundra is also one I like.Major Parkinson Songs From A Solitary HomeMeiko Nakahara Friday MagicMetric Grow Up and Blow AwayModest Mouse ナイト・オン・ザ・サン (Night on the Sun)Modest Mouse Strangers to OurselvesModest Mouse We Were Dead Before the Ship Even SankModest Mouse Good News for People Who Love Bad NewsModest Mouse Sad Sappy SuckerModest Mouse Interstate 8Modest Mouse The Golden CasketMother Mother EurekaMother Mother Dance And CryMumford and Sons BabelMurder by Death Like the Exorcist, but More BreakdancingHaha, this was pretty cool.

It's a fairly solid album, although very weird but not well tied together either. It's however more lyrical, and the lyrics are all pretty nice.

The instruments on the other hand... they're pretty, the piano is nice, but it could've been way more than it is now. It gets quite monotone after a while. A lot of tracks also don't hold enough emotion at all. I expected more from this band. It had a lot of potential.rFAV SONGS: Thanatos, Extinguish Me, Marche FunbreSon Lux Tomorrows ISon Lux RemnantsSon Lux LanternsSvartsinn Elegies For The EndSystem of a Down ToxicityAwfully repetitive.

FAV TRACKS: WiresThe Paper Chase Now You Are One of UsThe Spinto Band Nice And Nicely DoneThe War On Drugs A Deeper UnderstandingTwenty One Pilots BlurryfaceToday's mainstream music is pretty bad and too commercial, so Top is right about that, but... I feel they were conflicted in this album. You had Fueled probably shitting somewhere, but Top wanting to keep straying away from mainstream music at the same time. This all made Blurryface a big miss, and some people could see it as them being pretentious. And well, it is that in quite some songs. In too many songs. Top manages to keep the album pretty entertaining, despite it having quite some downs. It's quite a shame that this is the album they got known by.

FAV TRACKS: Passive, ImagineAurastys Four BeastsCrystal Castles Crystal CastlesDaft Punk DiscoveryHyperstory HyperstoryJoji In TonguesNothing innovative or anything. Just sad ass stuff, with straightforward lyrics. It is quite misunderstood however, as it is the case for many tracks of this type. You need to be able to experience the sort of emotion the musician experiences in order to get it. FAV TRACKS: Worldstar MoneyJustice †Most tracks are physically unbearable to listen to, and mostly rather typical house music. FAV TRACKS: D.A.N.C.E.Los Campesinos! Romance Is BoringThis rating might heavily change once I get to it. The first time listening to this album simply didn't sit well on me but I think it's because I barely listened, so it sounded like a cacophony of annoying vocals. I can't even tell whether I like this band or not!

In a lot of tracks the insts don't go well with the vocals, and the occasionally bad mixing doesn't make help that. I never expected this kind of music from Spyair however, but I think they are better at their anime-styled Jrock.

I'm not even kidding. I was surprised when I was already over half the album. I had only listened to a few songs by this band, and considered them decent. I had a pretty neutral opinion towards them although I had a feeling they were pretentious. Welp...BTS WingsHollywood Undead Swan SongsHollywood Undead, I used to love you, but, but, the lyrics are so bad in way too many tracks, as well as the rapping... FAV TRACKS: Paradise Lost, Sell Your SoulLinkin Park One More LightIt's good to experiment, and I appreciate that the oh-so famous Lp does it. However, in the genre they experimented in they didn't really flesh out something truly unique or mindblowing. Album seems to have a little inspiration from Living Things which makes sense. They make the same mistake they've been doing all this time. They think they can make something new by hopping into a new genre but that's not how it works, it's going to sound just as bland as any genre you work in simply because you can't think creatively. Their mistake is their assumption that you cannot make something new out of your own genre you're in when you totally can, but you have to be creative. Lp isn't creative and that's their problem, and I'm very sure they're plagued by that issue, hence why they try to avoid it by hopping from genre to genre. Also, bad lyrics, holy shit the lyrics are bad. Lp has never been great in their lyrics but lmao. FAV TRACKS: Nobody Can Save MeMindless Self Indulgence <3The Strokes Is This ItThis... this album is so overrated, but especially forgettable. So forgettable I forgot to add it back when I joined Sputnik. It was incredibly repetitive, even after listening to it a lot of times I couldn't get into it at all. The lyrics were also not too impressive either. Sure their music style is actually pretty fun but they also stick with the very same style, the same structure, yadda yadda.
