Username: Bilbodabag

Album: Dig Me Out: Really just not my style of punk. Barely anything on this appeals to me at all

Dig Me Out: 7 Probably the best song on the album

One More Hour: 5.5 Right off the bat I can tell this isn’t really my preferred style of punk, so expect low ratings from me across the board here

Turn It On: 3.5 I’m sorry, but the main guitar riff sounds like it was written by a 5th grader who just learned the minor scale

The Drama You've Been Craving: 4.5

Heart Factory: 4.5

Words & Guitar: 5.5 The verses are pretty crap but the rest of the song is aight

It's Enough: 4.5

Little Babies: 4.5

Not What You Want: 5.5

Buy Her Candy: 4.5

Things You Say: 5

Dance Song Ninety-Seven: 7 This one is pretty fun

Jenny: 5 I wish I liked this more, but most of the album is just so dull

Album: People Who Can Eat People are the Luckiest People in the World: I absolutely love this album’s sound and the lyrics are also top-notch. If the Monitor didn’t exist, this would be my favorite album here easily.

Rejoice: 9.5 How is this only the third best opener in this rate?

Brave as a Noun: 9.5 My only gripe with this perfect little song is that there isn’t more of it

Survival: 9

Bad Bad Things: 8

No More Tears: 8.5 Mimes are wack

Bells & Whistles: 8.5 Love the energy this track brings

Randy's House: 8

A Song Dedicated to the Memory of Stormy the Rabbit: 9

People II The Reckoning: 10 The last three songs on this record are all so good it’s not fair, but I think this one is my favorite

Personal Space Invader: 9.5

People: 10 Just a perfect way to close this album out

Album: The Monitor: This is one of my favorite albums of all time and the perfect exhibition of what punk can be

A More Perfect Union: 10 I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song. A More Perfect Union is one of the greatest openers of all time and not being able to give this song the 11 it deserves hurts my heart

Titus Andronicus Forever: 8.5 Just so much freaking fun

No Future Part III Escape from No Future: 10 I can’t think of anything creative to say, so I’ll just say that this song is incredible and so is this album

Richard II: 9.5 I had to restrain myself from giving every song on this album a 10, so here’s a 9.5 for variety

A Pot In Which to Piss: 9 My least favorite of the full-length songs on here is still a pretty incredible song in its own right

Four Score & Seven: 10 The atmosphere created on this album is unparalleled and I think this song represents it best

Theme from Cheers: 10 A little break from the 8-minute punk epics, but not a break from the songwriting quality. Theme from “Cheers” is one of the best songs on the whole album

To Old Friends & New: 10 This song is just massive in the best way possible

...and Ever: 8.5

The Battle of Hampton Roads: 11 Stickles spews his best lyrics over fourteen minutes of punk genius. There’s a bagpipe solo. What else can you ask for? Arguably the greatest punk song ever written

Album: WORRY.: Some really good highlights on here and most of this is solid, but I find the second half loses steam with all of the shorter tracks

We Begged To Explode: 10 If The Monitor didn’t exist, this would be an easy 11. Just a magical song

Pash Rash: 7.5 A little short, but a pretty enjoyable track

Festival Song: 9 One of my favorites here, just an incredibly fun and catchy track

Starting Out the Window At Your Old Apartment: 7 Charming enough, but nothing really hits too hard here

Wave Goodnight to Me: 8.5 Considering how good all of the full-length tracks are on this album makes me wish there were fewer short tracks and more of these

To Be a Ghost: 7.5 Second half is pretty great, but the first half is a little underwhelming

Pietro, Sixty Years Old: 5

I Did Something Weird Last Night: 8.5 Another full-length song that really delivers on the energy

Blast Damage Days: 7

Bang on the Door: 7.5 Wish it was longer, would’ve been great as a full-length song imo

Rainbow: 7 Same deal as all of the other shorter songs, wish it was a full-length song

Planet Luxury: 5

HELLLLHOOOOLE: 8 Easily my favorite of the shorter tracks on here

June Twenty First: 6 This couldn’t have just been a part of hellhole?

The Fuzz: 6.5

While You're Alive: 6.5

Perfect Sound Whatever: 6.5 By the time this song usually rolls around the back half has lost enough steam that I am pretty disappointed with the final track
