Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicBad Religion GeneratorIt is. Greg's lyrics and the dark imagery this provides in the liner notes. Hey! It's ONLY entertainment. Turn aware. Self awareness before the internet and news were. Chicanery is a word I try to use in appropriate situations. Chevelle Point #1I have to rate this something. I love the soft and loud dynamics. Sunny Day Real Estate memories. And screaming!!!! Back off PEER any skeptic who thinks this is less than a four can kiss my 'Open Long Blank Earth.' Depeche Mode UltraDepeche Mode bounced back from their gospel grunge era where Dave seemingly wanted to be the biggest rock band ever. To more what made Depeche Mode so good in the first place with Martin Gore. Intimate songs that still can be instant classic. (It's no Good). Foxing The AlbatrossIn honor of this band breaking up. I make this a 5.0. Wow I wrote that, I was definitely under the influence, the album is a 5 though. It's really great and goes through a lot of moods but didn't just sound like another midwest emo album. Interpol Turn on the Bright LightsTrue classic. Certainly a 5 maybe there is one song that meanders a little but it doesn't matter. I wish I followed the band's journey more after this but that's how the wind blows.Nine Inch Nails Year ZeroMe I'm Not and Capital G are 5.0 the rest is just dressing at times. I didn't. I will now with a fat 5. Just so wait. It's a 5. I also wish I was more intuned with with the augmented reality things did they to promote this. This is a 5. It is. BTW I like God Given. No Use for a Name The Daily GrindThis it is a total five. Such a ferocious album recorded quickly.Suicidal Tendencies Still Cyco After All These YearsHey Mike met Satan when he re-recorded this. Also. I heard the og and I felt like that one was a bit ok. Also this album has the OG and the WAR album. Also the Knicks will likely still win. Texas Is The Reason Do You Know Who You Are?I'll just give this a 5 because I am not entirely sure what I am comparing it to. Also this is just a sound off. I generally like to compare albums to other albums by the same band with perhaps a nod to the general scene. Here I am just like well. There isn't a bad song. "Do you Know Who You Are" is an amazing interlude middle of the album instrumental. "A Jack with One Eye" is incredible. Back and to the Left, Back and to the Left. Heh. Every song here is a blast! The Cure DisintegrationThe Cure The Head on the DoorMost under rated Cure album in full. Screw kinda sucks but w/e. 5The Cure Songs of a Lost WorldThe Weakerthans Reunion TourThe Weakerthans Reconstruction Site4.5 superb88 Fingers Louie Back On The StreetsAdolescents AdolescentsLA GIRL, LA World. Take one. heh it is I think well some of them lived in the surf culture world. No one lives their world in what I say and everyone knows their best songs by now. Word Attack after the Kids of the Black Hole!Bush The Science of ThingsDepeche Mode ViolatorThe beeps and bips which remind me of the Mega Drive and Sonic the Hedgehog. This was early on in my DM discovery. This album is still a complete marvel. Learning about "Enjoy the Silence" is a quest of its own. There isn't a miss here. Blue Dress is only okay. I gave Ultra a 5 this probably is. Heh someday I am waiting for the night to fall again. When everything is clean. Elliott Smith Either/OrI feel like it starts slow and doesn't have any real hooks but by Ballad of Big Nothing I am along for the ride. Punch of Judy is great too. Just I think it is a me thing where I feel like I can't warm up fast enough to an album. rI think it is just the first song doesn't really grab me, but the drumming in Alameda is amazing!!!!!rEverclear White Trash HellI don't like the boring Fire Maple Song here, but this album has some fantastic B-sides around the time when the album Sparkle and Fade was coming out. Millencolin True BrewNew Order TechniqueThis was such a great album it leaned so hard into the dance culture at the time. I still love it. "I can't find my peace of mind because I need you....."Oasis Definitely MaybeJust gonna toss a short lil review about the album. Not a five star banger, but it really came out with a lot of fire. I might be holding a half star hostage just because. I feel like Shakermaker is a bit boring. Up in the Sky I am not sure is that good either. But even with my quibbles. This is still Oasis at their finest moments. Owen (the ep)Skin and Bones needs to be heard more and That Mouth. Breaking Away. This EP rules. Look it up on youtube.Rise Against Revolutions per MinuteStrung Out Exile In OblivionSunny Day Real Estate DiaryThe Cure BloodflowersThe Mighty Mighty Bosstones The Magic of YouthThe Postal Service Give UpThis Is A Standoff Be ExcitedThis was a superb mix of of melody, some screaming and technical prowess. Definitely still worth a listen to this day. Standouts: You Won't Pass, Where I Can't be Heard, Silvio, Underwater, Dream Beater.4.0 excellent88 Fingers Louie Thank You For Being A FriendAFI Sing the SorrowAmerican Football American Football (LP3)Heir Apparent it beautiful, I love the loud bass. Life Support rules, even some of the more dull songs eventually build into something great or don't detract much. It was cool to see Haley show up on here. I hope they both benefited from the collaboration. Benton Falls Fighting StarlightBrave Bird Maybe You, No One Else Worth ItBreaking Pangaea Take Apart The WordsA short nice EP the precursor to a more popular band. Charlie Brown Gets A Valentine DismissedDance Hall Crashers The Live RecordThis is one of my favorite live albums. It's just got a ton of energy and is a lot fun to listen to. It was the last thing they ever recorded (not counting the live dvd they released some years later). They never released any new music after this so this also works as a Greatest Hits album too as they play their singles, their oldest songs and some newer stuff (at the time). DHC never hit it big in the mainstream; they always did play a part in the punk and ska scene in the 90s and early 2000s. Karina and Elyse often did guest vocals for other punk acts of this era. If you wanted to hear some fun punk music fronted by two gals I'd highly recommend giving this a listen.Depeche Mode Songs of Faith and DevotionQuick one, it's really good it was an era where DM was transforming into a full rock band and things got wild. I wrote this just because I wanted to rate the album and write something in my room. Depeche Mode Playing The AngelFoxing Nearer My GodGreen Day WarningI do have a lot of good memories with this album. Fashion Victim, Blood Sex and Booze, Church on Sunday. There is a lot of upbeat fun here too, that I felt like for some reason or another was really fresh at the time. Headstones The Oracle Of Hi-FiWhat was to be their last album for at least a decade ended on a high note with some real heavy rockers. Some the best of their career with the usual collection of a few moodier slower songs. This band delivered some of the finest alternative rock from Canada during the 90s into the earliest of the 2000s. Minus the Bear This is What I Know About Being GiganticMustard Plug Pray For MojoNo Use for a Name Don't Miss the TrainOwen The Falls of SiouxJust because I don't think it is better than the Avalanche, but these songs are really good. Plus I am factoring in all his old albums. The only songs I am not at the moment into are well Mount Cleverest and Qui Je. Mount Cleverest is a great title. Edit for I love Qui Je now, but Mt cleverest feels like a rambunctious worse version of the first song. Stavesacre AbsolutesSuicidal Tendencies How Will I Laugh Tomorrow If I Can't Even Smile Today?T.S.O.L. T. S. O. L.TSOL went through many iterations even including the time there was no og band members. That glam rock era was a zero.T.S.O.L. DisappearLoud and proud. Who would have thought one of the Offspring's inspirations would be on his label. This brings back a lot of the creepiness of Dance for Me with some real aggression too abbot cops and sex. The Ataris Look Forward to FailureI'll lean this towards a 4 because even though I think 'That Special Girl' is a throwaway track as it's just really generic. The rest of this EP rips. Cost me like 8 bucks back then I don't remember exactly haha 'San Dimas...' was the popular song of theirs in the era and it's still a vibrant upbeat song that fits in with the theme of growing up and highschool. 'Not a Worry in the World' is a dirtier rougher sounding outing while 'My Hotel Year' is the full band version as compared to the stripped down one seen on "Blue Skies...." 'Between You and Me' was always a favorite of mine here because it just hit hard. I wish I was as cool as Leonardo. The Cure Seventeen SecondsThe Cure WishOh there it is. Anyhow. Pull down the mirrors, and tear up the floors. Let's get happy. Kiss it all good bye. An excellent album This album dances a bit between pop fun and some really wistful tunes. Wild Mood Swings has a few good ones, but that was just too wild. This is incredibly better. The Lawrence Arms Apathy and ExhaustionThe Lawrence Arms MetropoleThe Menzingers Chamberlain WaitsThe World Is a Beautiful Place... Are Here to Help YouReally good emo split in the middle if the 2010s. The World is a Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid to Die went onto bigger things like getting an release on Epitaph that I am sure has a review. I just was looking for earlier stuff here to make a post. Shoulda heard the Epitaph one but ehhhh.3.5 greatAdolescents CropdusterNo way is this album forgotten. Also Steve Soto gave it his all. Bush Sixteen StoneGavin came out with an amazing version of European coast Grunge after Kurt Cobain and company did. The album was played everywhere in USA. It's still good. Everclear World Of NoiseNo Use for a Name Making FriendsThis was the best skate/hardcore NUFAN album since well ya know. It does get a bit boring at the end, but still has some fun hidden stuff. Hard for me to rate it because so much of the beginning rules and has Dicky Barrett and Dance Hall Crashers friends. rI'll settle on on a 3.5 for potential! Sharks Keep Moving Desert Strings And DriftersI got into Minus the Bear around that Menos album though the the first song I heard by them was Lemurs Man Lemurs. I loved the slap happy twinkle stuff a bit with a heavy bent on drinking. Anyhow I had this digitally once. I remember this being really cool though the last song was like 12 minutes long and a bit dull. So i dinged it half a point, but I wanted to sound off because I did have this. The first three songs were really chill and not boring. Going to play this now and maybe change my sound off. Teenage Bottlerocket TotalI just wanted to sound off on this album uhhh I am doing this off the cuff, but ya there is another blood bath at Burger king, all the fries and the burgers are ruined. Very inspired by the Ramones esque music plus this band has ties to the Lillingtons iirc. KNOWLEDGE! Songs can be a bit repetitive but it's frigging Ramones styled rock. Thank You, I'm Sorry Growing In Strange PlacesI think this album came out great. There is a dull song here or there and "Head Climbing" is actually quite bad. I wanted Coleen to shout more, but not like that. I generally don't skip it though because it is only a couple minutes and it ends with Coleen just laughing; like they know this was ridiculous. Otherwise though from the wistful start of "Your Backyard" to the growth felt through the album ending with "As I Should I Be" it feels like Coleen and the listeners can move on and feel better about themselves after all. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers The Last DJHey the CEO!!!!!! Joe! :P I Actually got called off here. You get to be famous, I get to be rich. THis is sooo old. I wrote stuff and I got called out for rating to too low heh. Mother 'fer is a 5 but I got called for a low 3. C'mon! I have respect heh. --- The Ceo got in my ear--- hah whiah...UnSun The End Of Life3.0 goodAFI Answer That and Stay FashionableAFI parody the biggest movie ever Reservoir Dogs at the time. It's just a fast punk album with clips about saying how "it was what was willed, by the hand of fate." rDavey Havok often times doesn't stop talking when the song kicks off. I to me actually thought this album was newer than some of their older ones. I knew it wasn't Black Sails, but wow this is old. I'll stll give it a good. They put out better albums. I don't give a shit, but a 3. For the past fifteen minutes. This album has a very loose theme. It's no worse than that, I guess I could give it a a 2.5 but hah.Breaking Pangaea Cannon to a WhisperGood to great album. I think the album art and the packaging is the most interesting part of it hehe I think I prefer the EP better as it feels like it comes together overall better. I just wanted to shout out this band for some reason and it had no reviews. I am sure the band that came after this certainly does. It was frigging Taking Back Sunday. Digger Monte CarloIt has some songs that hit, but as much as I liked to make this a win for everyone. It can hit some lows. Welcome to Vegas I guess. It's no lower than a 3. Nikola Sarcevic Lock-Sport-KrockI love the voice of Millencolin put out a couple folk rock albums. Some of these song are extremely good but Mirror Man isn't as good as it sounds.T.S.O.L. Divided We StandThank You, I'm Sorry I'm Glad We're FriendsI like the spacey pop and I am emo. I added the Coleen Dow EP here. I hope it takes. *edit* Huh well the name comes up in the database now, but all the stuff I added to it didn't save. I wrote it up really fast but I thought I did a decent job enough for starters and I intended to flesh it out more in the future. Oh well maybe someday I'll try again. It wasn't that important to add, but I just figured since it was new it was worth adding since this band was here.The Cardboard Swords The Cardboard SwordsWell (s)he said :P I'd rate higher if there was an album review possibly Tony Sly 12 Song Program2.5 averageThe Lawrence Arms A Guided Tour of ChicagoWhile I'd honestly like to rate it a little higher as I actually still bust this one out from time to time. I don't want to fanboy it too much as it really isn't anything that special. Still at 26 minutes it goes by fast and is pleasant enough and brings feelings of nostalgia for me at least.2.0 poorDepeche Mode Speak & Spell1.5 very poorNew Found Glory It's All About the GirlsI have this cd in my closet and I used to have it ripped to my computer. Alright, youtube, away. But before I do that this EP has one or two actual good songs and even at that, they are good for demo quality levels. The one song remember liking is standstill for sure. And the other is probably scraped knees or my solution. So I am going to see now. Shadow is fucking awful I know. JB was pretty good. I think Jordan's vocals are so grating on this album, that it really kills some songs that weren't special to begin with. Anyhow. I'll give this a 1.5 because I thought this EP was bad when I bought it so long ago, but I still thought the patheticness of it was a bit endearing. I heard it after I got Nothing Gold Can Stay and then the S/T.
