I can't get over the breakdown in that song... the entire song is honestly one of the best songs i've ever heard.Wale Attention Deficit3.5Julian Casablancas Phrazes for the Young3.0Brand New Daisy4.0Slightly disappointing in ways, and yet thrilling - and an interesting change of pace. i'd like to see where they head from hereEvery Time I Die New Junk Aesthetic3.5I'll always respect that this band stuck with the whole "hardcore" thing (even though people tend to tag them as this "metalcore" crap. but that's what pisses me off about them, too - that they're in a scene where people like to put big, fancy, stupid labels on them.Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt II4.5This is like one of those sequel albums I wasn't alive long enough to really feel the anxiety of its release - but after hearing it AND it's prequel, I can really feel the intensityAmanda Blank I Love You2.0It's just so... empty. I can't believe anyone would willingly make this album. And to think I thought she was just such an enjoyable garnish on Spank Rock's songs.Dirty Projectors Bitte Orca3.0Eminem Relapse2.5Well, it's Shady, so there were obviously things about this album I liked. Not a very good album overall, though. I'm glad he was able to shotgun himself back into the industry, though. My hopes are that as he gets older, Marshall will stray from the goofy aesthetic and return to his grumpy roots.Mastodon Crack the Skye4.0this album is an excellent addition to Mastodon's already stellar discography. it's intense and moving - all without sacrificing artistic quality, like many in the metal scene tend to do todayMF DOOM Born Like This4.0Not a very well put-together or organized album, but hey, what am I reviewing here, a Black Eyed Peas album? this is a f***ing DOOM album, and I got what I came for. He is the undisputed villain of rap.Cursive Mama, I'm Swollen3.0The first and last songs are sick - the rest doesn't seem to meet Cursive's standardAnimal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion4.5I could make the obvious acid joke, or say that Strawberry Jam was better - but I'd rather just say that this album is the reason I haven't given up on the music scene this year (but there should soon be more reasons, hopefully)2008 Kanye West 808s and Heartbreak2.0Everyone - I'mma let you finish, but Eminem had the best whiney rap album of all time. OF ALL TIME. oh - right - this album is lame. if you like good music.Anthony Green Avalon4.0You gotta really love A Green's voice to get into this - but all the same, it's a beautiful album. It's eerie, too - I went to Avalon many times as a child, and get a familiar chill when listening to the new songs on the album. I need to go back there.Girl Talk Feed the Animals4.0I think I heard some Of Montreal in there? and some Lil Mama? Avril Lavigne?! I could hand this man a Michael Bolton CD, a Wiggles tape cassette, and some of those obnoxious cultural music albums from coffee shops and he could make an A+ album.Titus Andronicus The Airing of Grievances4.52007 Radiohead In Rainbows3.5Kanye West Graduation3.5Aesop Rock None Shall Pass4.5I didn't see it coming - but this album is amazing. Catacomb Kids and None Shall Pass are some must-listens.Circa Survive On Letting Go4.0it's such an interesting sensation to love a band and the noise they produce, but not get everything you want from their albums. hopefully the new album will put them in a better light.2006 AFI Decemberunderground3.0A disappointment to many, this album seemed to be more of an experiment than it was the real, new direction of the band.2005 Kanye West Late Registration4.0Bear vs. Shark Terrorhawk5.0This album was a totally random post-hardcore gem. I never saw it coming, and then I loved it forever.Circa Survive Juturna3.5This isn't an immaculate album by any means, but it certainly kicked them off into the big boy's deep end of post-hardcore. Ya gotta show some respect for the Juturna.The Sound of Animals Fighting Tiger and the Duke4.52004 Green Day American Idiot2.0Arcade Fire Funeral5.0Circle Takes the Square As the Roots Undo5.0Kanye West The College Dropout3.52003 AFI Sing the Sorrow4.5Such amazing hodgepodge of genres - this album is made to seem like a classic by many and garbage by many others. I'd have to side with the more pessimistic view - while taking a journey from their punk roots to a more emotional, aesthetic realm of rock music, they kept me as a diehard fan.2002 Eminem The Eminem Show5.02000 Q and Not U No Kill No Beep Beep4.5This band was so incredibly driven by their drums that I used to completely change my speaker config whenever I played them. Another amazing post-gem.Radiohead Kid A5.0AFI The Art of Drowning4.5Without using the word "raw" for the millionth time, this album is... great? Yeah. the most accepted "different" punk rock album to come out at the time.Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP5.0One of the most angry, chilling rap albums of all time, the Marshall Mathers LP puts all other rap (excluding everyone associated with him - Snoop, Dre, etc.) to bitter shame.1999 AFI Black Sails in the Sunset4.0Yeah so this album was just screaming to explode into sing the sorrow.1998 Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea5.0This album was like the f***ing Beetles of modern indie.1994 Nas Illmatic5.01991 Rites of Spring End on End4.5These dudes knew how to make a finely crafted, raw, emotional audial piece of artwork, I'm tellin ya.1989 Fugazi 13 Songs5.0YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS. ahem. that is all. (I guess this wasn't a review...)
