De La Soul 3 Feet High And Rising

Depeche Mode Violator
Depressed Mode ...For Death...
I loved the album. It kinda sucks that they changed their sound, but it's still awesome.
Depressed Mode Ghosts Of Devotion
Awesome as fuck. It's crushing at times, and soft at times. I love it because it's so close to melodic death metal/funeral doom, but isn't there yet. And I love the fact that they did a Burzum cover with clean vocals. In my mind, a funeral doom classic.

My Bloody Valentine Loveless
Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Nevermore Dead Heart in a Dead World
Along with many bands, Nevermore changed their sound frequently. This is what I consider to be their most over-the-top sound, and though it lacks the technicality of the usual Nevermore, it doesn't stray from the masterpiece that it attempts to be. This attempt may have been a gamble, but it worked.

Just listened to the vinyl. All I can say is what has been said before by anyone else who rated this a 5.
The Jesus and Mary Chain Psychocandy
The Strokes Is This It
The first album to successfully turn people's attention away from the crappy pop and nu-metal acts of the new millennium, Is This It garnered their attention towards their post-punk, indie-pop, and Britpop-fused sound. The band was obviously going in the right direction. Some aspects make it feel as though it is amateur, but hey, it's a debut album, what do you expect? Their sound is DIY, employing indie rock production and songwriting reminiscent of artists like Liz Phair, Sonic Youth, and My Bloody Valentine. The Strokes hold a well-earned place in both pop-culture and music because of this album. Their work nowadays can't top their debut, even with a more developed sound, ultimately because what makes this album great is that it wasn't developed, making it a more authentic indie rock and post-punk album than many of The Strokes' less indie and experimental contemporaries.
Ufomammut Eve
This album may not be completely unique, but some elements of it are a bit on that side. It's like any great psychedelic album. It's more of an experience rather than actual music.
Weakling Dead as Dreams
Wolves in the Throne Room Celestial Lineage
X Japan Art of Life
To me, a power metal classic, and made me look at X Japan differently. I used too think they were the best band in the world. Now, I see that that sentence is an understatement, it just doesn't cut it. Highly recommended to anybody who has the time for one song.

Kesha Warrior
A Ke$ha album that doesn't suck? Yes. Unoriginal? Yes. But, unoriginal is probably the best thing you could ever say about Ke$ha's music.
maudlin of the Well Part the Second
Not too bad, just not as good as anything else maudlin's made.
Motionless In White Infamous
Oceano Depths
You can appreciate it in small doses. Seriously, a few songs is all you would really want to hear from the album after listening.

Abigail Williams Becoming
AW rips off Wolves In The Throne Room in the most blatant form imaginable. If anyone thinks they're changing their sound and god forbid black metal in general, I'd call them an idiot and invite them to listen to every other WITTR album ever. And if you have no idea where the WITTR comparisons are coming from, you really are an idiot. What makes it blatant is really track #4, where it begins with sounds of a waterfall or a stream. What would a New York-based band from Boston insert a sound like that at the beginning of a song called Infinite Fields of Mind? Oh yeah, because WITTR would do the same. In addition, AW started out as an energetically sinister symphonic black metal band with somewhat raw production, and now all of a sudden, they're making 10 minute slowly paced songs with a muffled master? This is ripping off a band in the most blatant form, and mainstream metal fans are eating this shit up like the infantile shits they are. Listen to WITTR's new album and see what I mean.
P.S. To DarkNoctus, WITTR didn't change their sound. Trying a couple new things doesn't make it a new sound.
Asking Alexandria Stand Up and Scream
With as much hype, as many fangirls fauning over them, and as much people like them, AA's magnum opus is surprisingly meh. I saw them live, and it really says something when for every song, the lead singer asked the audience to sing a majority of the lyrics "FOR them" (his words), he can barely hit the notes he does sing, he stops mid-performance to chug a can of monster and beam it into the audience, and people who were enjoying the show until their act began started leaving two freaking songs in.
Breathe Carolina It's Classy Not Classic

2.0 poor
Skrillex Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites
Dubstep sucks in general. The only person to do it right in the past few years was Burial, and apart from one song, this is over-the-top awful noise production at its worst, with Skrillex showing no signs of subtlety or restraint. All I Ask Of You is the best song, mainly because Skrillex's annoying tendency to add awful noise effects is downplayed to the point of questioning why it's even on this album. The last we need in the world is some jackass who thinks he's so great that he can add multiple remixes of his own shitty songs on his own EP. Anyone who truly thinks this shit is true art is probably the same idiotic scene kid who says Andy Sixx and Robert Smith are their heros.

1.5 very poor
Black Veil Brides We Stitch These Wounds
Dr. Acula Below Me
This was supposed to be Dr. Acula's second chance at a good impression. They failed at making good music. The only thing they accomplished at is writing funny lyrics and making the metal community wish death upon them.

1.0 awful
Blood on the Dance Floor Let's Start a Riot
Christian And The Hedgehog Boys COMEBACK!
Nicki Minaj Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded: Nicki Minaj's manual on how you can destory what little promise you show on your debut with utter shit and trying to hide that fact with producers who in turn do their shittiest job trying to do so. The worst album to hear from any member of Young Money, and damn near the worst album in rap music in years, and that's including Lil B, Waka Flocka Flame, and Soulja Boy.
