| Animal Collective Sung Tongs |
| Last time I checked in with Animal Collective, I listened to Feels. That was my favorite album by them, so as I kept listening to all their albums in reverse chronological order, I was very excited for Sung Tongs. Unfortunately, I was a bit let down. After listening numerous times, I could pick out several tracks that I really enjoy, like We Tigers and Visiting Friends. However, the rest of the songs on here fall flat for me. My friend Nathan expected this, though. My favorite band is Radiohead, and he described this album as "the opposite of Radiohead". |
| Animal Collective Ark |
| I've been working backwards through all the AC albums. Feels didn't blow me away, but it was my favorite at the time. Then came Sung Tongs, and I felt disappointed by that. This one. This one caught me by surprise. It's one solid piece, the instrumentals always sound catchy and almost fruity, it does such a good job of painting a mental picture, while tightly packaging all of this chaotic energy into itself. Absolutely stunning. |

| I don't even know how to touch this album in a review. Everything is so experimental and out of my reach. How does one even describe a track made entirely out of breathing noises? There's no beat to hold on to, not a lot of vocals to appreciate, but it's still so good. That's all I can say right now. It's so damn good. |

Actual rating because I'm not a staff member: 4.2
I found it interesting that, despite the incredibly gorgeous chord progressions and happy melodies throughout the entire album, some lines are dark as hell. "The world you know is gone", for example. The whole album truly sounds like it's coming from the heads of mad scientists, which appears to fit a story the album is telling that I've yet to fully piece together. If there was a downside, it's that there isn't a radio-friendly song in sight. There's nothing I can put on a playlist for quick groovy songs, because so many tracks here change wildly overtime, and they can be up to 9 minutes long. |

| I came very close to loving this album. The fast-paced and radio-friendly style of songs like Golden Eagle and Terrifyer is something I adore. However, there are more than a couple tracks on here I really don't like. Those songs would be American Garbage and My Brain Is A Human Body. It seems like AJJ was trying to add a concept of childlike anger and rebellion throughout the album, but it's only clear on a few tracks. Despite that loose concept, this record is still enjoyable for the most part. |

| Animal Collective Feels |
| My friend Nathan has been turning me onto AC slowly. I've been listening to their albums in reverse chronological order, and this is my favorite so far. I have a good feeling they're only going to get better as I keep going backwards. Feels occasionally falls flat, like on the track Bees, but this album is the most consistent one I've heard so far. An excellent record overall. |
| Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion |
| Hey, what do you know? The only songs on this album I like are the singles. That's an exaggeration, but it still has merit because it's basically true. All the singles are only standout songs on this album. Nothing is excruciating, but it's also not worth any replay value. Woops. I don't like AC's most popular album very much. |
| Animal Collective Centipede Hz |
| This reminds me quite a bit of Strawberry Jam, in that it feels based around guitars and distortion. It has this sort of electricity to it, as well. At first listen a year ago, I didn't appreciate it for what it really was, but now I love about 80% of Centipede Hz. Every AC album has 1+ forgettable track. Here, that would probably be Father Time or New Town Burnout. Everything flows together beautifully, though, and it sticks out as a personal highlight. |

| Danny Brown Atrocity Exhibition |
| I will admit, this album can be very depressing and emotional. It does a very good job of showing the dark side of drug use. It does an even better job at showcasing the most experimental beats any rapper has spat on in years. The biggest problem here is that the same lyrical themes appear over and over again, making Atrocity Exhibition far too long. They're all 'don't do drugs because this will happen to you'. I would rather have that message be shown over a much shorter duration of time. On top of this, some songs just suck. Get Hi, for example. |

It doesn't stand out to me at all, I'm sorry. But it still comes off as very respectable. Nothing on this album is bad or poorly produced, I guess it's just not my cup of tea. |

There isn't any song I really dislike, and I enjoy listening to it from front to back. But it feels like it comes in one ear and out the other. Except for the last track, the title track. and Crawling Back To God, there isn't very much that sticks with me. Maybe in a while I'll bump up this rating, and it will land on my loved list. But I'm not sure. |

| This album contains the amazing songs like Yo, Wow, and Everybody Knows. However, I think the amount of effort put into all the songs here tends to fluctuate. The aforementioned songs have spectacular, detailed beats just like any other song on here, but on those songs, they also have cleverly-constructed verses and hooks. The last two tracks on here don't have that. Washed Up is the same way; nice beat, low-quality lyrics. Still, though, the whole album flows together sort of like one cohesive piece. It's worth coming back to. |

I was trying to review this one, but I realized that it was impossible for me to stop comparing it to their 2010 album. That's one of my favorite albums ever, and because this one fell so short of that, I can't talk about it without a negative bias. I still do thoroughly enjoy this album though. I wish it had more vocal features, and I wish some of the songs were longer. It feels like half the album is filler. Despite that, it has tons of enjoyable and interesting moments, and I recommend it to DnB fans. |

| Ehhhh. I understand what this record is trying to do. It's cold, but not in a chills-down-your-spine way. It's far more peaceful than that. However, listening to it made me feel like I didn't have any warmth. Like I was in a snow-laden field. I don't necessarily like that feeling. The fact that it's hard to understand most of the lyrics makes this album feel like a sort of code that I can't decipher. |

| I feel like the people who are giving this very high ratings have some thin skin.rYes, Skeleton Tree does come right after the death of Nick Cave's son. Yes, it's all very emotional and touching, and it does deserve some for having these deep lyrics and interesting instrumentals. However, I agree with Trey on this. It sounds like poetry that was written as a school assignment. It's sad, but it's wallowing in what almost sounds like self-pity. This could easily be Sputnik's 2016 AOTY, and I'm okay with that, but this didn't hit me very well. Sorry. |

| I might review this, I might not. I'm pretty lukewarm on this, though, because the songs get stale fast. On top of this, the album is extremely political, trying to conquer topics such as corrupted government officials (like the character Mr. Kill present on the album) and global warming. There are also guest performances that are very flat, and there's production that's so messy, there's barely a rhythm at all. |
| Swans The Glowing Man |
| I'm sorry, but I just don't understand. This album bored me to death after an hour, and the only reward I get for sitting through that whole thing is a nice groove in the latter half of the titular track, and some cheery sing-along on the last track. Everything but When Will I Return is way too long, and there wasn't a single moment on the first disc in which I enjoyed myself.rI just don't understand all the hype. But it's okay. I tend to love albums everyone else hates (case in point: latest Macklemore/Ryan Lewis album) |
