Scrambles5.0i guess reading the background story for the lyrics on this album makes it much easier to fall in love with it, but it's not like i wouldnt have eventually fell in love with scrambles anyway. i remember saying "man, btmi! would have been my favorite band if i would have listened to them back when i was in high school" after listening to 'band minus album'. but after listening to scrambles, i thought "wow i fucking LOVE btmi!". jeff's lyrics might make it seem like he is a miserable twenty-something year old stumbling through life, and he may be, but really hes just like a lot of young adults afraid of growing up. of course going out and getting hammered all the time can be awesome, but jeff does an amazing job of describing the shitty side of the broke rockstar partying lifestyle. do i even have to mention how relatable this is or how creatively these songs are put together?AJJ Operation Stackola3.02008 Kanye West 808s and Heartbreak2.5Laura Jane Grace Heart Burns3.0Senses Fail Life Is Not a Waiting Room3.0Rise Against Appeal to Reason3.0Mount Eerie Lost Wisdom3.5Margot and the Nuclear So and So's Not Animal.4.0Bayside Shudder3.5Good Old War Only Way To Be Alone4.0Deerhunter Microcastle4.0The Gaslight Anthem The '59 Sound4.5Darker My Love 23.0Conor Oberst Conor Oberst4.0The Hold Steady Stay Positive3.5The Fratellis Here We Stand3.0Weezer The Red Album2.5Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes4.0Death Cab for Cutie Narrow Stairs3.0Titus Andronicus The Airing of Grievances4.0Frank Turner Love, Ire & Song4.5The Raconteurs Consolers of the Lonely3.5The Dodos Visiter4.0The Tallest Man on Earth Shallow Grave4.0Kurt Vile Constant Hitmaker3.5The Mountain Goats Heretic Pride3.5City and Colour Bring Me Your Love3.5Laura Marling Alas, I Cannot Swim3.5The Gaslight Anthem Señor and the Queen3.5Deuce The Two Thousand Eight EP1.0AJJ Only God Can Judge Me3.5Breathe Owl Breathe Ghost Glacier3.5Wingnut DishwashersUnion Never Trust a Man Who Plays Guitar4.02007 Nirvana MTV Unplugged in New York (DVD)4.5Streetlight Manifesto Somewhere in the Between4.5The Antlers In the Attic of the Universe3.5Say Anything In Defense of the Genre4.0Radiohead In Rainbows4.5Four Year Strong Rise Or Die Trying3.5Kanye West Graduation3.0AJJ People Who Can Eat People are the Luckiest People4.5Deer Tick War Elephant4.0Paul Baribeau Grand Ledge5.0Sum 41 Underclass Hero2.5Against Me!

Album Minus Band3.5The Evpatoria Report Golevka4.0Bright Eyes Digital Ash in a Digital Urn3.0Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning5.0well this is my favorite album and its not really close. this album changed the way i listened to music. at the time i listened to this album, freshman year in uni, i pretty much only listened to pop-punk and my favorite bands were nofx and four year strong. i still vividly remember checking out at the bottom of everything on youtube and listening to conor tell that story and i didn't know what to expect. then the song kicked in and the lyrics just amazed me. before this, i never really cared for lyrics, but for some reason, the switch just flipped. the first couple times i listened to it, i HAD to read the lyrics along with it. i listened over and over and never got tired of it. a couple years later, i still discover lines that just amaze me. i can honestly say that i believe that every lyric on this album is gold. i could go on forever about this album so i'll just say this; this album changed my life. instead of music (listening or writing) being something to do to pass the time, music is now something i love way more than words can describe and plays a huge role in my life.Captain Chaos May All Liars Burn in Hell4.02004 Elliott Smith From a Basement on the Hill4.5mewithoutYou Catch For Us the Foxes4.0Sum 41 Chuck3.5Green Day American Idiot3.5Senses Fail Let It Enfold You3.0The Libertines The Libertines3.0Regina Spektor Soviet Kitsch4.0Rise Against Siren Song of the Counter Culture4.5Say Anything ...Is a Real Boy4.0Taking Back Sunday Where You Want To Be3.0My Chemical Romance Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge3.0Modest Mouse Good News for People Who Love Bad News3.5Wilco A Ghost Is Born3.0Iron And Wine Our Endless Numbered Days3.5Madvillain Madvillainy4.5Sufjan Stevens Seven Swans4.0The Hold Steady Almost Killed Me5.0Incubus (USA-CA) A Crow Left of the Murder...3.5Bayside Sirens & Condolences3.5Kanye West The College Dropout3.0The Mountain Goats We Shall All Be Healed5.0before i say anything about this album, i'll just throw out there that i am a HUGE JD fanboy. he is the only lyricist that i would put ahead of dylan. i love pretty much anything he records. 'we shall all be healed' features some of his best lyrics, which are based on people john used to know who are "mostly dead or in jail by now". he paints the most vivid pictures in the most creative and witty ways with his astounding wordplay. this album has a perfect mix of the lo-fi mountain goats sound and his more polished sound. now i dont know much about meth-addicts other than they are usually pretty fucked up people. but somehow JD manages to not only give us a sense of what life as a meth-addict is like, but he also makes us empathize with these messed up people. i guess i'll just finish this with a verse from one of his most moving songs 'your belgian things'. "The arteries are clogging in the mainframe/ There's too much information in the pipes/ I saw the mess you left up in the east bedroom/ A tiger's never gonna change its stripes/ I guess, I guess/ but Jesus what a mess/ One way in and no way out."2003 M83 Dead Cities, Red Seas and Lost Ghosts4.0blink-182 Blink-1823.5Explosions in the Sky The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place4.0Against Me!

Against Me!5.0there are very few albums from my teen years that i still love to this day for reasons other than nostalgia. of course nostalgia probably plays a big part in why this ep is one of my favorite albums, but this ep is just perfect. the desperation in tom's voice and the lyrics just make it so hard to fight the urge to sing along. its just such a genuine and fun album that seems impossible to dislike.Fugazi The Argument4.0Mark Kozelek Whats Next To The Moon4.02000 The White Stripes De Stijl3.5The Clientele Suburban Light3.0Godspeed You! Black Emperor Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven5.0to me, post rock has always been that genre that made great background/sleeping music. hell i even listened to this album while falling asleep like 15 times and never understood what was so great about it. other than some parts in 'sleep' i thought this was just a snoozefest. then one night (while tripping), i devoted my full attention to this and suddenly everything just clicked. it was such an amazing experience. i was actually physically and emotionally exhausted after i took my headphones off when it ended. ive never felt this way after listening to an album. this is such a huge album and not one you can't just throw in all the time. to anyone that isnt sold on this album, i recommend giving this your full attention the next time you listen. honestly it is well worth it.Green Day Warning3.0Radiohead Kid A5.0the first time i ever took shrooms i threw this album on. this was the first time i have ever had such an experience with music. i wont go in depth, but i'll say that it was a pretty crazy journey that i was not expecting (in a good way). but even before that experience, i loved the album (which is why i threw it on). from the first couple notes of 'everything in its right place', to the ending of 'motion picture soundtrack' where thom sings "i will see you in the next life", kid a is packed full of emotion and hauntingly beautiful soundscapes. this album definitely opened doors for me to enjoy not only electronic based music, but also any music outside my comfort zone.At the Drive-In Relationship of Command4.5Ryan Adams Heartbreaker4.5Modest Mouse The Moon & Antarctica5.0there was a point where i listened to modest mouse, and only modest mouse for about two months straight. i considered this and TLCW classics but the latter has kinda grew off me a bit but i still find myself loving TM&A more and more with each listen. you got issac's interesting philosophical lyrics backed by some catchy and beautiful guitar hooks. the desperation in issacs voice is still here, albeit not as much as his previous efforts, but perfectly utilized when needed. this album is ethereal, beautiful, creepy, sprawling, alienated, chill, and crazed.Matchbox Twenty Mad Season3.0Eminem The Marshall Mathers LP4.0Elliott Smith Figure 84.0Alkaline Trio Alkaline Trio4.0Do Make Say Think Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord is Dead3.5Ghostface Killah Supreme Clientele3.5Death Cab for Cutie We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes3.0Modest Mouse Building Nothing Out of Something4.0The Mountain Goats The Coroner's Gambit4.5Explosions in the Sky How Strange, Innocence3.5Jets to Brazil Four Cornered Night3.5The Mountain Goats Isopanisad Radio Hour3.5Thee Silver Mt.

Not only are the lyrics and his voice on this album so chilling, his guitar work is just beautiful. he is just a brilliant songwriter and this album, pretty much featuring just him and his acoustic, showcases his songwriting ability better than his others. if this album doesn't evoke any emotions in you, it is safe to say you are a robot.Pavement Wowee Zowee3.5Radiohead The Bends4.0Guided by Voices Alien Lanes4.0blink-182 Cheshire Cat3.0The Mountain Goats Sweden3.5Pulp Different Class4.01994 Sebadoh Bakesale4.0Sublime Robbin' the Hood3.0Elliott Smith Roman Candle3.5Kyuss Welcome to Sky Valley4.0The Halo Benders God Don't Make No Junk3.5Guided by Voices Bee Thousand4.5The Mountain Goats Zopilote Machine3.5Weezer Weezer4.0Nas Illmatic4.5Pink Floyd The Division Bell3.5Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral4.5Pavement Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain5.0this album is pretty much everything that i was looking for in a rock album. yeah it rocks, and is super catchy, but the lazy and seemingly effortless vocals delivered by malkmus make this ultimate slacker chill out album. i also cant get enough of how the guitars on this album seem to match the laziness of malkmus's voice, they just sound so perfect together.
