Train of Thought by Dream Theater (5/5)* x3.The Tip of a Tab (PO+) by Imaginary Friends (3/5).Chow Time by Mozzy & CashLord Mess (3/5).This list is in chronological order, NOT from best to worst. If there is no asterisk then it was my first time listening to that album. Additionally an asterisk next to the score shows that I have listened to this album before. I kept the original scores and tacked on the new ones at the end. If you do the math the total ratings is over 1336 and this is due to me changing a few ratings after a couple listens. A lot of these albums will more than likely always be on my lists.
I gave 42/2000 this score, all except one were albums I’ve heard before. 9/1336ĥ = Near Perfect: No album is perfect but these come pretty close for me. 39/1336Ĥ.5 = Awesome: Really stellar work by the artist, little to no gripes from me. 257/1336Ĥ = Great: A step above good where the artist is finding their stride, I enjoyed 75% of the album. I’m much more likely to return to more of these albums than solid ones. 448/1336ģ.5 = Good: The main difference between solid and good is replayability. 441/1336ģ = Solid: Average albums that have a handful of standout moments. 99/1336Ģ.5 = Ok: The middle of the scoring guide and a little under what I expected from the artist. 7/1336Ģ = Eh…: I see the potential but these projects lost me along the way, maybe they just aren’t my thing. 3/1336ġ.5 = …Meh: Total loss of interest on my part, projects that aren’t really worth the listen IMO (!!!!). No disrespect but I never fucked with Juice Wrld’s sound, talented freestyler though, and RIP. Good news everyone! None of the albums were this bad! 0/1336ġ = Bad: A step above abysmal but still made me disgruntled listening to them. Just a reminder this is my personal rating, one which I don’t put much thought into (because that’s what reviews are for), so interpret that as you will.Ġ.5 = Terrible: I try not to be too judgmental on music because the fact these artists are creating something of their own is honorable enough. If it annoys you just do the simple math and get your nice _/10 rating. Instead of going back and changing the system to _/10 I just rolled with the decimals, personally it was a line I had to draw somewhere or I would keep getting too specific with the ratings. Originally I was going to just do whole numbers out of 5 but decided that was too broad of a grade and narrowed it down to every 0.5. Also without the ability to listen to music at work and my much shorter commute it was borderline impossible to listen to as many albums as 2018. There was a lot of phenomenal music but for some reason there wasn’t a whole lot that stuck with me or impacted me in a specific way. 2019 was a weird one, there were alot of high profile drops in prog music while the hip hop community saw a larger rate of underground projects come out. Every number is an album I listened to from front to back in its entirety. Keeping track of the music I listened to was pretty enjoyable and non-taxing, so this list is a continuation of that idea throughout 2019.
It is now a word to generally describe full-length albums released for free, which is the modern form of mixtape that was made a popular following by 50 Cent and his group G-Unit in the early 2000s, sometimes containing all original music, other times composed of freestyles and remixes of popular tracks.So New Years Eve 2015 I decided that starting the following day I would keep a record of how many albums/mixtapes/EPs etc that I listened to in 2016. In the hip hop scene, mix tape is often displayed as a single term mixtape. Also since the 1990s, it describes releases used to promote one or more new artists, or as a pre-release by more established artists to promote upcoming "official" albums. Blend tapes became increasingly popular by the mid-1990s, and fans increasingly looked for exclusive tracks and freestyles on the tapes. Ron G moved the mixtape forward in the early 1990s by blending R&B a cappellas with hip hop beats (known as "blends"). In the mid-1980s, DJs, such as Brucie B, began recording their live music and selling their own mixtapes, which was soon followed by other DJs such as Kid Capri and Doo Wop. (who later became known as Whiz Kid) and DJ Super V would create personalized House Tapes which would eventually circulate throughout New York City. In the late 70's into the early 80's DJs began recording mixtapes out of their homes, referring to them as House Tapes. As more tapes became available, they began to be collected and traded by fans. Hip hop mixtapes first appeared in the mid-1970s in New York City, featuring artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa. In hip hop's earliest days, the music only existed in live form, and the music was spread via tapes of parties and shows.
