| Albert Hammond Jr Francis Trouble | 3.5 |
| Albert Hammond Jr Momentary Masters | 2.0 |

| Earthsuit Kaleidoscope Superior | 3.5 |
| Everything here is extremely chaotic. And I love it. |
| Electric Music Electric Music | 2.5 |
| Ex-Kraftwerk member goes pop-rock, and the result is an incredibly boring album. Recommended Tracks: The Young Urban Professional |
| Emily Montes Emily Montes | 1.0 |
| I could easily make something like this in Voloco. Why did this have to exist |
| Fitz Head Up High | 1.0 |
Recommended Tracks: N/A
Worst Tracks: Slowdown, I Need A Dancefloor |
| Karl Bartos Communication | 2.0 |
| The incredibly locked-in beats, extremely bad vocoding and awkward lyrics make this an extremely tedious listen. Bartos almost sounds like he's parodying himself on most of these tracks. When he ditches one or more of these elements, however, he makes some of the best material of his solo career. Recommended Tracks: Life |
| Living Colour Shade | 4.0 |
| Living Colour Collideoscope | 3.0 |
| I like this album, it?s nice, very experimental, although Song Without Sin is the worst opening track Living Colour has made. I can listen to Time?s Up just fine but after a few listens of this album it makes me want to stop listening around track 8 or 9. Highlights: Flying, Nightmare City, Sacred Ground |
| Living Colour Time's Up | 4.5 |
| Mutemath Play Dead Live | 5.0 |
| Mutemath Armistice Live | 5.0 |
| Mutemath Odd Soul | 4.5 |
| Highlights: Odd Soul, Blood Pressure, Quarantine, All Or Nothing |
| Mutemath Mutemath | 4.5 |
| Mutemath Armistice | 3.0 |
Ehhhh I don't know about this one. This album is basically just the sound of a record label breathing down the neck of an
otherwise excellent artist. Fuck you Warner Bros, you're the worst. 2.85/5 |
| Mutemath Play Dead | 4.0 |
| Mutemath Vitals | 4.5 |
| This one has grown on me tremendously as the years have gone by. With the exception of a few questionable lyrical choices, I think this stands toe to toe in quality with their debut and Odd Soul. |
| Mutemath Voice In the Silence | 4.5 |
| Nine Inch Nails Add Violence | 4.0 |

| Nine Inch Nails Hesitation Marks | 4.0 |
| Nine Inch Nails The Fragile | 5.0 |
| Remo Drive A Portrait Of An Ugly Man | 3.0 |
Last time I checked this out I concluded that it was depressingly ok. Now in my eyes it's depressingly not as good as it
could have been. This is pretty solid, but the production and lyrics (who TF writes an entire verse about iPhones) hold this
back from being excruciatingly solid. Oh yeah, and the Twitter drama. That too. 3.25/5
(3.25 --> 3.6) Mercy is so mid that it makes this look a million times better in comparison. Wtf happened to this band |
| Remo Drive Mercy | 1.5 |
| The middest of mid. Any promise they might have had before is all gone now. |
| Scott Walker Bish Bosch | 5.0 |
| The Strokes First Impressions of Earth | 5.0 |
| I adore fucking everything about this. The painfully robotic rhythm section, the insane shredding (by Strokes standards), Julian's raw, overcompressed, sometimes half-drunk vocals and songwriting, the pretty bad and bloated yet more accessible (?) production, the crazily large number of songs here (14!), the unusually gloomy/pensive/IDK what the right word is (again, by Strokes standards) vibe looming over the entire album and especially in songs like "Heart In a Cage" and "On the Other Side", and how unfocused all of it is. It's basically a mid life crisis in audio form and I love it. |
| Thomas Azier Love, Disorderly | 5.0 |
| I originally had this as a 4.5 but after listening to it in a car with surround speakers it gets a 5. Highlights: Concrete, Entertainment, If There?s A God, Open Your Arms |
| Thomas Azier The Inventory of Our Desire | 4.5 |
| rNot as consistent or accessible as his last outing, but contains some of his best work to date. Also it's super jazzy, if ryou're into that sort of thing. Highlights: Faces, Skin & Blister, What Does It Mean To Be Free, Slow Revolution r |
| Twenty One Pilots Scaled and Icy | 3.5 |
| Recommended Tracks: Choker, Shy Away, No Chances, The Outside |
| Walk the Moon Heights | 2.5 |
