Work is not the same as love. I don't see any problem with a millionaire being heartbroken and writing about it.

You're gonna regret this grade in a couple years/months, AVClub. This one's their third masterpiece.

Seems you like the garage rock part of his stuff, and not the direction he's headed in - which is fine - but it's definitely got memorable melodies and energy in there. I think it's an excellent album.

The "concept" really isn't much of one. The songs don't bleed into each other or anything, just thematically linked. If they weren't titled that way, I don't think anyone would think of them any differently from the first half of the album.

Also saw that show, and gotta disagree. Sometimes MCII feels a bit samey when listening to it, and I don't get that feeling from MCIII. Live, though, it was a more mixed bag but still a very enjoyable show.

No kidding. That, and "Mirrorball" are probably the best songs on here. Not sure where this reviewer is coming from.

Good to know I can always move on to the cartoon baby look if it ever starts falling out up top. Thanks Bosley!

Yeah

Is the trick to glue your chest hair to the top of your head? Because that appears to be what Joey FatOne has done.

That would be aural terrorism at its finest. My go-to is always "Monster Mash", but if I find this in a juke I might have to play it as well.

They sound really unexpected for having named themselves after a Silver Jews song.

Gotta give it up for Cummom.

Which is to say, I hope voodoo Satan goes down on Angela Bassett, because why not. It's American Horror Story.

I watched four seasons of The Wire with headphones on. At one point I noticed that Lance Reddick's mouth makes a ton of noise when he speaks, like an obscene amount of sloshing and smacking, and I couldn't tune it out after that. Never did finish season five.

This seems like a great album to put on during a long drive, and keep telling the other passengers, "No wait, you have to be patient, the song kicks in pretty soon." It'd be a fun game to see how long they last.

That Fuzz album is insane. Ty Segall has the same problem as Robert Pollard though, and by encouraging peoples' short attention spans he'll probably never make a list like this. Unlike Pollard, everything he puts out is quality, and he and Kurt Vile are quickly becoming two of the "guitar heroes" of the day.

The problem with "Normal Person" is that it's entirely unnecessary. We're in an age where exhibiting your weird-ass tendencies is completely acceptable and encouraged. The idea of a "Normal Person" has been thrown out with the bath water, and so, lyrically, the song immediately feels like a relic from the early 2000s

Yes, "Perils From the Sea" is such a good album that's getting overlooked everywhere. "Gustavo" is one of the best songs out of Kozelek in a long time.

The one positive thing I can say about Yeezus is that it's written by someone who is obviously passionate about what they're doing. That's more than I can say for the rest of the albums on this list, so for that reason alone I'm fine with it being #1 here. Kanye also introduced a bit of aggression on the pop charts,
