Along with Black Sabbath's Paranoid this record is in contention for greatest metal record of all time. Unrelenting thrash metal until the levy breaks and it gives way for moments of calm before continuing the onslaught

It's a fun vestige of old school hip-hop but listening to this record it makes sense why this style went the way of the dinosaurs. It becomes uninteresting and feels like you can hear rhymes like this on any highschool playground nowadays. One of them also feels very out of place in this record that makes a point to push positivity on other songs

Rated 10/10

Absolute classic in rap and funk, with a stellar side A that grooves all the way through the long tracklist - it never feels like a slog, always feels fresh and enjoyable

The quintessential soul album that perfectly captures the human condition with such sincerity that its hard to believe any other album will ever come close

This is a pale imitation of American slowcore and it pains me. Bill Callahan could have had a record on this list instead, but all that said this particular record isn't terrible

Rated 8/10

Absolutely amazing record taking risks but ultimately just combining an electric performance from the musicians with some very unique lyrics. Green is a great record

A strong record containing classic bowie tracks but more importantly it's evident he found his voice and style on this record. A must listen for sure

It's an atmospheric, moody record that tries to stretch the boundaries but somehow misses the board entirely. It's not really good but experimental and later records (Smile is a good example) seem to take the same concept and apply it better
