I agree in the sense of it being my favourite album cover, and 8.4 is a pretty reasonable rate.

Like 6 or 7 out of ten. Inferior to other modern crossover/crust like Black Breath or Trap Them.

The cover is absolute god tier, though. Like, there's so much potential for hardcore greatness in that image.

Had the album saved on Spotify for around a year now and I still haven't listened to it (my backlog is colossal) and I have yet to try anything from Japan, though the cover has always been one that I've admired. I suppose some might say it looks like some Final Fantasy cover art mixed with DSOTM.

>>72293705
Great album, could never get into it much though, then I'm not particularly big on hip hop. Seeing how people are giving numerical ratings I'd give it a light 7/10.

>>72294609
Oh God, I know what you mean, do you have the physical copy? You can slide out the blue inlay which contains the liner notes, its certainly one of my favorites. As for the album itself I wasn't particularly impressed, though it could have gone much worse and the latter half of the album holds up a lot for me (Monomania is underrated as hell, by the way). I'd say a strong 6/10.

>>72294746
Is it me or does the statue look kinda like Ian Curtis? Maybe its just the fact that the band has the exact same setup as Joy Division and maintains the post-punk sound. I prefer UCOR's both in cover and quality though the first half of Agent Intellect is brilliant, feel it drops off a lot midway through though. Light 7/10.

>>72295028
I still enjoy the fact that it moves, AnCo has gotten less interesting as I've tried different things though they're still a great band and whilst I prefer STGSTV, MPP is great in its own right. Strong 7/10.

>>72295501
Like the cover, find it funny to look at pictures of emo kids crowd around the house. Probably convinced me that Emo is a respectable genre in a own right though and made me far less prejudiced towards that kind of music. Would give it a decent 7/10.

>>72295787
Underrated by critics though I still find it a bore to listen to, not to big on Here Comes the Night (here comes the night! hold me squeeze me huhihihihihiahuhaijhiehahsihd tell me I'll he bhe huhlright, seriously what is with the vocals on that track?) A strong 5/10.

Seeing how I'm posting multiples: cont from >>72303576, may as well post another favorite, this album looks like someone tried to superimpose Modest Mouse's Long Drive over a screenshot from the movie Drive.

>>72295820
The cover is alright (pretty cool given the backstory), the album itself is easily the most front-loaded Death Grips release although the tracks still hold up in their own rights. I'm feelin' a strong 6/10.

>>72297825
Thank-you, I'd give that album a light 8/10.

>>72301296
My favorite Pink Floyd album cover, actually shows the mood of the album for a change, and probably my favorite Pink Floyd album at that. Still I'd argue PF to be an incredibly overrated band though this is one of their albums which really does hold its weight. A strong 7 to a light 8/10.

>>72301377
Not to keen on the cover, its often overlooked because its associated with the wave of faux-indie garbage that's far too saturated these days, with that being said I quite like it although it relies way to heavily on the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus formula (I'm sure some other anon knows the technical name for it) which ruins a lot of the songs as it becomes far too repetitive with multiple listens to the point where songs like Don't Stop and I'd Do Anything just get annoying. Houdini is a godly song though. I'd say a strong 4/10.

>>72301504
Great album, though one that you can burn out on with consecutive listens, love Aye Aye though and there aren't any tracks which pull it down either. I'd say a strong 7/10.

>>72301555
Felt like a huge downgrade after Cosmogramma though that probably means I should give it a few more tries (listened to it loads already though). Light to a decent 6/10.

>>72301562
Oh haha, you really tickled my funny bone. Way to go mate I'm rollin' like a Swiss role on the Matterhorn. In seriousness a great album, its a shame almost all of Vektor has left, doesn't have Tetrastructural Minds though which means it loses a point. Light 8/10.

>>72303207
Hate the album cover, it reminds me of the condensation you get on a car window which immediately triggers my innate perfectionism and need to eliminate it with a window wiper. Never listened to the album though, only heard Breezeblocks.

I love this cover and how alien Joni looks. It really sets the tone for the lonely album that it is.

I think it's her best work, and Jacos. It's not something I can listen to often though for the sense of melancholy it brings on.
