Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicGlenn Branca The AscensionI mean not only did this guy invent no wave but he changed the face of noise rock, post-punk, math rock forever. I think it wouldn't be too much a stretch to say he was an early influence for mathcore too.James Ferraro Live at Primavera Sound 2012This piece is the epitome of life. Completely and utterly transcendental. James Ferraro might have accidentally created such a piece, since this was mostly just him messing with a loop, synth, and samples, yet somehow the simple improvisation and hypnotic repetition just evoke something spiritual, feeling which climaxes when James introduces the most abrupt but most effective break I've heard. There is nothing, but everything.Machine Girl Neon White OST 1 - The Wicked HeartI genuinely haven't heard a better video game OST yet. Machine Girl absolutely killed it on here, and we can clearly hear how much passion went into the project, and overall this is one of their best creations.Meshuggah NothingCompletely alien, jazzy, forward-thinking, and most of all: COLOSSAL.Meshuggah ChaosphereChaosphere was, and still is, a pioneering album and one of the most intense experiences in metal music, years after it came out.tirestires shadowdogfuck it, cumburger and one of the best albums ever.Widdly 2 Diddly LISA: The Painful Original SoundtrackThe only reason my score is so high for this OST is because of "Work Harder".4.5 superbAcid Bath When the Kite String PopsI dare you to rate this album less than 3.5. Come on, I dare you!Animals As Leaders Animals as LeadersArtillery By InheritanceA crown jewel of 1990's technical thrash, complete with excellent melodic work, sick ass riffs, a gnarly bass, amazing drumming, and crystalline production as the cherry on top.

Sprinkled in this record you'll find mechanical precision, angular rhythmics, cold and sterile production, furious walls of sound, and more.Meshuggah KolossGrooves a metric ton, and extremely efficient. A masterclass in feel and minimalism from the crazy Swedes.Meshuggah Destroy Erase ImproveThe blueprint album for some of the most innovative music ever created.Ulcerate Everything Is Firesome of the most interesting death metal i've had the pleasure of listening to. i particularly enjoy the band's melodic bleakness and abrasive grooves. perhaps the only problem are some far-fetched transitions and the uniformly complex style/expression throughout the album.4.0 excellentAnata Under a Stone With No Inscriptionvery underrated band in the grand scheme of things. their musical structures don't necessarily flow with each other, but the fantastic riffs the band plays more often than not make up for it.Animals As Leaders The Joy of MotionBoards of Canada GeogaddiBreach VenomBuckethead ColmaAnd before I thought I'd never love acoustic guitars...Burial UntrueBurial KindredCarpenter Brut TrilogyExpert songwriting + great production + dark grittiness coupled with funky swagger = Album to re-listen to for decades.CunninLynguists A Piece Of StrangeDante Mars Ajeto! Celebrating Digital ArtefactsPicture death's dynamic shroud.vmw. Now picture an artist who takes his experiments rrfurther, with an actual "narrative" to boot. That's when you get Dante Mars Ajeto's rr'Celebrating Digital Artefacts'. Now yes, it has a few flaws of transition and redundant rr"glitching", but goddamn, this is fucking fantastic. In a nutshell, it's "take one catchy rrbit from a corporate pop song and magnify it to a higher level all the while adding rrexperimentation", and it works flawlessly. The textural work is NOT lacking, it's rrmemorable and catchy, production is clearly in the hands of a skilled rindividual, highly renjoyable, quirky and unique, has tons of replay value, great tracklist, groovy, really, rthere is almost no negative I can observe in rthis. Even the classic cheesy vaporwave rconcept is followed to the point of parody(which rwas most probably intended). You're very rwelcome Bedex.rFav tracks: 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 13, 15, 19.rDeath Grips ExmilitaryDeftones White PonyDemilich Nespithebuh WEE uhn BUH BEE wuh WAW *gurgling vomit noises* BEE WEE uh wawFree Nelson Mandoomjazz Awakening of a CapitalGary Burton A Genuine Tong FuneralGene Wildest Spectral TerrestrialGeorge Clanton SlideGidge Autumn BellsNot bad at all.

This work is transcendental in the way that at the end of it you're like "..................................................................................yes"Mammal Hands Captured SpiritsInsane album. Reminds you of the light breeze of the sea in just a few notes.Melt-Banana FetchSandwell District Feed-ForwardSnakefinger Chewing Hides The SoundSoundtrack (Video Game) Fight Songs: The Music of Team Fortress 2Classy, slick music, to complement the goofiest multiplayer FPS I've played.System of a Down ToxicitySystem of a Down Steal This Album!t e l e p a t h ???????? 一緒に別の夜This is how you make boss music in the realm of vaporwave x ambient.Telepath and Hong Kong Express 愛慕 ／ 悲哀Test Dept. Beating the RetreatThought Industry Mods Carve the PigTigran Hamasyan Arratha Rebirth: Red HailAwesome album chock full of interesting ideas, combining armenian folk, jazz, and mathy metal-isms into an at times explosive, other times serene soundscape. However, with how dense the album is and how long the tracks run for, i'd still say this album is best enjoyed in small parts rather than a full uninterrupted journey.Violent Dirge Elapsethis is definitely one of the better tech death albums ive heard. extremely tight, precise, gnarly, noisy, and aggressive, just the way i like it. Yat-kha Yenisei PunkAlbum is actually bussing. Mongolian folk fused with rock is a good idea for sure.YAYAYI YAYAYIone of the most underrated electronic/hip-hop releases of the 2010s3.5 great156/Silence Undercover Scumbag2814 新しい日の誕生A Sunny Day in Glasgow Ashes GrammarAngelspit KrankhausApex By The Way/The Yearning VIPBOOTS CATS TITTIES BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS TITTIES BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS TITTIES BOOTS CATSAphex Twin WindowlickerAphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92This didn't age quite so well but it remains a masterful work of art in the realm of electronic music.Black Moth Super Rainbow Dandelion GumBurial Truant/Rough SleeperCelldweller CelldwellerClubroot ClubrootDalis Car The Waking Houri like a lot of this album's aspects but it's overly long at points and there are moments that don't work as well as they could. def a quirky albeit cheesy little bop. Dante Mars Ajeto! Ｌｉｆｅ ＥｎｔｅｒｐｒｉｓｅｓCertainly fun, but unfortunately Dante tends to fall in some of the pitfalls of future funk.Darren Korb Bastion OSTDeath Grips Year of the SnitchDeath Grips Government Platesdowny Mudai (7)Drab Majesty Modern MirrorHonestly this is feckin great. Super fap material for my ears.Eminem The Eminem ShowEstradasphere It's UnderstoodThere are stupid or overblown moments on this, but first of all, it's still über fun, and overall this filled my craving for weird Balkanian prog pretty well. Fabio (Hard Set), April '94When Cyclotron gives it a 3.0, you know it's great.Failure Fantastic PlanetI used to think this had too much filler. I was dumb. The songwriting admittedly isn't the best, and there is a minor difference in quality between the first and second half, but otherwise that's it. This album is most certainly a great 90s rock album, full of grunge bangers with a unique twist you'll only ever hear from Failure. Saying it's worth a listen would be an understatement. Fear Factory DemanufactureFloating Points CrushFour Tet RoundsFractalize Prophet of DespairFractalize ImmersionFrank Zappa Hot RatsFredrik Thordendal's Special Defects Sol Niger Withinloses steam around the 20-30 minute mark, but overall a fine, psychedelic metal/jazz fusion journey into the void.Gareth Coker Ori and the Will of the WispsWe like it here.

Joe Hisaishi Princess Mononokegoddamit why is it that I am so inexplicably trapped in the emotion of Joe Hisaishi's melodies? First time I listened to the FIRST track, I was on the verge of crying. And the impossibly strong nostalgia I have from watching the film does not help. In a good way.rEdit: damn this grew off me pretty hard but still an epic albumJoe Hisaishi Castle In The SkyJoe Hisaishi Spirited AwayKrzysztof Komeda AstigmaticLa Femme Psycho Tropical BerlinThis is pretty great but the lyrics can get a little over-the-top.Lakker TundraLamb of God Ashes of the Wakebetter than most 'elitist-approved' metal i've heard.Machine Girl U-Void SynthesizerMachine Girl ...BECAUSE I'M YOUNG ARROGANT AND HATE EVERYTHINGMarilyn Manson Antichrist SuperstarMassive Attack MezzanineMega Drive 198XADAhhhhh, Mega Drive. You produce absolute bangers, and your influence within synthwave is almost equivalent to artists like Perturbator or Carpenter Brut; yet somehow, your songwriting skills are mediocre at best. Merzbow DharmaMeshuggah IMeshuggah The Violent Sleep of ReasonFour duds on here but the rest is absolutely stellar.Meshuggah Contradictions CollapsePossibly the most underrated Meshuggah album. "Sickening", "Humiliative" and "Ritual" are clear highlights.Michael Gordon TranceA bit too predictable at times, but otherwise this is a finely made, weird as fuck record.Michael Jackson ThrillerGenuinely great, tons of fun, catchy songwriting, Billie Jean taking the crown for the best on the album, but unfortunately there is also a lot of filler, namely on Wanna Be Starting Something with its overly repetitive structure.Michael Jackson Off the WallMick Gordon Doom OST"Just sounds like robots and laser sounds, not really music imo and DEFINITELY not metal,it's more like heavy techno/industrial idk,is rubbish the correct term?"

Overall a pretty great album, though, I like the pop-rock direction, it can feel bland, but PT are so utterly and fantastically good at making infectious prog-pop numbers that it covers up the radio friendliness automatically.Primus Pork SodaPrimus Frizzle FryPrimus Sailing the Seas of CheesePudding Club Songs Before BedQueens of the Stone Age Songs for the DeafQueens of the Stone Age Queens of the Stone AgeQueens of the Stone Age Rated ROk QOTSA.

Not the bestest selection but hey at least there's Kindred and shit.C Z A R I N A Painted HologramsInnovative synthwave, seamlessly blending an eclectic range of styles into one shimmering, tight, and colorful package, with great performances and top-notch production. However, despite a great vocal performance, the vocals are not for everyone, and the lyrics are... cliche, to say the least. Additionally, I felt there were some inconsistencies in the songwriting. Just my opinion though.Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Trout Mask ReplicaEh. Pretty gud but, without wanting to sound like a wanker, it's not as great as people make it out to be.Casiopea CasiopeaHmmm. Catchy jazz fusion, with high technical proficiency. The easy listening side to it does make it cheesy though.Chuck Person Chuck Person's Eccojams Vol. 1Along with "Far Side Virtual" and "Floral Shoppe" among others, this proto-vapor album was one of the cores which fueled Vaporwave's initial growth. A few of the ideas aged badly over the course of the genre's evolution, but, just like the other proto-vapor releases, its existence will forever be essential in music history.clipping.

It's just that those positives are brought down by genuine black holes of creativity throughout the whole album.Bjork HomogenicBjork back at it again but with more overdone electronic/art pop tropes and somehow even more pretentious sounding vocal lines.
