Margot & The Nuclear So And So's—Not Animal (2008):
Whiner boy indie rock. Not the most obnoxious version of what's out there, but it put me off a bit.

Pearl Jam—Vs. (1993):
Like all 90s rock, it wildly overstays its welcome, but honestly way better than I was expecting from them. Might have even liked it better than their debut album?

Portishead—Portishead (1997):
Completing the trio. On its own I think I liked this one a little less than both Dummy and Third, but the three as a combined body of work are all-timers

Korn—Korn (1994):
Music for punching yourself in the head really hard (out of depression). This kind of thing doesn't really speak to me, and I'd reach for like NIN or Modest Mouse before this if crashing out.
Also lacks fun weirdo moves like "Freak on a Leash" from the other album.

Daft Punk—Alive 2007 (2007):
Daft Punk "greatest hits"-type album. Obvious 5, but they're also at that Beatles level where it's almost boring to talk about how good they are. That said, the original list's crappy electronica entries *really* deepened my respect for Daft Punk.

Stray From The Path—Only Death is Real (2017):
Cargo-cult RatM. Angry music that wants you to know about its good politics mostly just bums me out. Like it's 2025 now, and these guys decided this year was a great time to call it quits. Posturing the whole time? Did it ever matter?

SOPHIE—Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides (2018):
Educational! It's a big deal album, but within genres I don't tend to fuck with. Club music fed to the "Annihilation" veil, and the distortion seeps into the track order (e.g. going from opener into Ponyboy). Final Track is transcendent.

Absolutely nails the throwback 90s angst sound, which makes all the lyrics about social media and data mining really stick out. Kind of drifts too clever for its own good, in that way, I don't need this kind of music to be self-aware

Childish Gambino--Awaken, My Love! (2016):
He was on a real hot streak during the 2010s. Not quite what I was expecting, it's baseline R&B, but he's bringing in a lot of old-timey funk influences. Kinda sounds Diet Prince at points, but Prince was Prince because he wasn't diet Prince.

I loved their debut. This one's still grungy, but leans a lot more industrial on the B-side, and has a kinda euro dance/pop stink on the A-side. Both directions are very Produced, and it's worse than what the first album was doing. Still liked it a lot!

I get that Whedon Voice hadn't yet worn people down in 2013, but this is insufferable in 2025.
Lyrics are clumsy and trying too hard for "colloquial," and the vocalist can't pull off the Cake thing he's aiming for.
