Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicKyuss Welcome To Sky ValleyKyuss' most consistent album. I may prefer to listen to some of the great tracks of "Blues for the Red Sun" more often, but this album definitely portrays were Kyuss have been brought-en to. The for-front of their own genre. Sky Valley shows them at their most confident and feeding off each others energy more than ever. Classic album, bar none. System of a Down Toxicity4.5 superbKyuss Blues For The Red Sun4.0 excellentArctic Monkeys HumbugIt took them an album to refine their sound, but "Humbug" takes the Arctic Monkeys into an intense, dark, eerie (Pink Floyd/Queens of the Stone Age) atmospheric world and lets them all do their thing. Just missing some more cool bass lines like the debut album. Arctic Monkeys Favourite Worst NightmareJust as good as the first, despite what critics may think. This is their transition album, it has the greatest parts of the debut with new styles that the monkeys will fully evolve on their third release. It is the best of both worlds.Kanye West My Beautiful Dark Twisted FantasyA perfectly produced piece of art. Loud, progressive, and epic. Kanye can never drop anything below average. While the actual "rap" part of the album falters at points, Kanye was never really the most veracious emcee. Kyuss WretchKyuss' first proper album. Even with its low production values, beginning vocal talents of Josh Garcia, and the struggling solos Josh Homme this album is amazing. It is a unique and utter jaw dropping jam session of an album. These guys feed off of each other so well, this album cannot capture it enough, but it gets the job done for now. Rx Bandits MandalaThem Crooked Vultures Them Crooked Vultures3.5 greatDrake Take CareMuch better than his debut. Drake finds a sound that suits him. A dark hip hop/R&B monster that is darker and more introspective than most albums dark to go nowadays. Kid Cudi Man on the Moon: The End of DayLiving With Lions Make Your MarkA great example of classic punk-pop of the late 90's/early 00's...yet 9 years too late. Almost every song has a catchy as hell chorus with a great back beat of chords. The band works very well together and throughout the album you can tell they are having the best time ever while they play their music.The Dead Weather Sea of CowardsCompared to their previous effort, Horehound, they have improved their sound immensely. They have found what works for them (Blue Blood Blues, Die By the Drop, Gasoline), but they still decide to venture out sometimes. If they would stick to what they excel at it would be a perfect album. Weezer RaditudeReally diggin' this album. Although, I honestly enjoyed "Make Believe" as well. Weezer knows how to write a 45 minute pop fest. Catchy hooks, jarring power chords rip for skat-ing to, and some unbelievably retarded (hopefully untrue) lyrics. 3.0 goodKittie In the BlackA decent romp through Kittie's latest metal mindfuck. Give them credit for stepping into the alt-metal world, with the atmospheric intro that blends very well with the second cut. It shows them a step further in maturing their style, which isn't bad at all. Sick Puppies Tri-Polar2.5 averageA Day To Remember What Separates Me From YouWhile I dig all the songs due to A Day to Remember's vice of never being able to make a non-catchy chorus the album feels more like a collection of b-sides than an actual new piece of fully developed material. 2.0 poorJohn Mayer Battle StudiesPerhaps it has to grow on me, but several tracks are short and forgettable. The good songs have a country tinged swing to them that makes me want to vomit but John Mayer is John Mayer and his solos and lyrics makes up for what could have been a terrible album. Julian Plenti Julian Plenti is... SkyscraperI am not knocking Paul Banks for not understanding the meaning of a different project than the band he is already in, but in any case Julian Plenti is in so many ways the next Interpol album...and the next Interpol album is very uninteresting. Muse The ResistanceResistance shows what Muse is capable of with the last three irresistible tracks, a complete orchestra under the guidance of Matthew Bellamy's awesome vocal prowess. It is total ear candy, but why on earth would he turn the rest of the album into a misguided, piece of shit pop affair is beyond me.
