DM Stith takes 'freak folk' to such freakish place I can't help but love it. El-P Cancer 4 CureThis is El-p fully realizing every good idea he's ever had, culminating in one of the greatest hip hop albums I've listened to. He perfects his flow, lyrics, and creates more accessible yet more atmospheric and mood building beats than anything he's done. The album is a moving trip through one of the most well crafted concepts recorded. He's really just showing off at this point.

But Nothing Is LostSwans Soundtracks for the BlindThough I'm in love with the newest incarnation of Swans, listening to this album will probably remain the most intense musical experience for me. Regardless of my surroundings listening to it takes all of my attention, I find it difficult to read on even the minimal ambient tracks. From the lofi voice samples to the post-rock opuses and folk the entire thing works to create the most disturbing and strange world in music, and the sequencing is so well done, it would be a shame to skip a track of this 2.5 hour album.Swans The SeerSo after a 14 year hiatus, Swans have now released two albums that not only live up to their classic material, but in my opinion, surpass it. This isn't supposed to happen.Swans To Be KindUgly Casanova Sharpen Your Teeth4.5 superbAvenged Sevenfold City of EvilBetween the Buried and Me ColorsBohren und der Club of Gore Sunset MissionBrand New DaisyBurial BurialBurial Street HaloClubroot ClubrootConverge Petitioning the Empty SkyConverge Jane DoeDeftones Diamond EyesDJ Krush Kaku-SeiI don't know if this is an objective rating, but I absolutely never get tired of this album.

This is Isaac Brock finding a degree of happiness in the world. These catchy melodies reflect that. Earlier works (especially the first two lp's) were works of depression and turmoil. The raw emotion of those albums is a large part of what made them great. This is simply a different kind of emotion. Everything in this album is genuine, and is in no way selling out. That said, it isn't as complete an album as their first three, and feels more like a collection of songs than a furnished record, and is not perfect.Nas STILLmaticP.O.S Never BetterPixies DoolittleRadiohead The King of LimbsRaekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...

Then my ears just hurt. It's interesting and novel, but ultimately the beats are subpar, especially when they aren't heavy or "raw" enough to achieve that aggressiveness that seems a worthy goal in itself. The lyrics are generally good, and I personally dig Ride's delivery. Especially when he sounds genuinely angry, which is unfortunately lost for a fair portion of the record. Much better than Exmilitary, but that wasn't hard.Eminem The Eminem ShowJames Blake Enough ThunderSkrillex Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites2.5 averageBring Me the Horizon Suicide SeasonDas Racist RelaxTyler, the Creator BastardTyler, the Creator Goblin2.0 poorAvenged Sevenfold Avenged SevenfoldBring Me the Horizon Count Your BlessingsHIM Dark LightHurt Goodbye To The MachineTool 10,000 DaysNo matter how I look at this album, the majority seems to be boring filler with three songs that I can honestly enjoy (Vicarious, Jambi, The Pot), and all of those tracks are quite repetitive and overstay their welcome.
