| 5.0 classic |
| Against Me! Reinventing Axl Rose |
| An energetic, raw, passionate collection of songs. The emotions expressed in this album are more genuine than 90% of the music made today. |
| Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me |
| A creeping, haunting masterpiece. This album is a peek inside of a troubled mind, and that glimpse is an unforgettable one. |
| Godspeed You! Black Emperor Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven |
| 4 songs that summarize the entire GY!BE body of work. Impossibly beautiful, mysterious, and creeping, the music comes together and falls apart like the converging of a flock of birds. |
| Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea |
| This band should have never been popular. The singer can't sing. The bass distortion is way too high. The songs are all vaguely referencing Anne Frank. Why then, do many (including myself) consider this album to be one of the best of the last two decades? Because it is.Jeff Magnum's yelps and warbling, in the end, turn into a cohesive sound, as much an instrument as any, that expresses his sorrow, his guilt over one of the 20th century's great tragedies. The guitars twang and the bass roars, and somewhere hidden in the core is a message: the human spirit can never be overcome. |
| Refused The Shape Of Punk To Come |
| Brutal, ferocious, and revolutionary. This album is perfect from start to finish, destroying notions of hardcore, punk, and combining the two with genres such as jazz. A genre classic, and as close to perfect as one can come within the genres of punk and hardcore. |
| The Beatles Revolver |
