[March/1 of ?] Can you feel that? Oh shit!

Have you ever felt that, as an online culture, we "backed" the wrong horse in the memetic zeitgeist? Right now you're probably wondering what the hell is it that I'm talking about specifically, but rest easy: I am indeed talking about how Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" fucking sucks and how we should've memefied "Stupify" instead.

---- The argument is simple: Better overall instrumental performance AND way funnier/more annoying vocal stylings. If you think I'm high on fumes or something, hear for yourself.

---- If you're listening to crappy butt-rock, at least go for the track that has something going on for it throughout, instead of just one mildly interesting hissy-fit on a song that also includes a skit that sounds like the best acting Robert Downey Jr. ever did, it's all I'm saying. ---- On second thought, Dan Donegan is a "Cancel culture" whingy shithead that makes me embarrassed that I use the same guitar brand as he does and David Draiman is an all-around garbage person, so I think that's way funnier (even if unintentionally) than anything they have ever put to tape. Here's a cool song by an awesome band that I still love instead...

Anyway, I'll probably go back to writing about anime and Fire Emblem because that's all it ever seems to interest people when I type out these journal entries/brain droppings. Love a duck!

Their “dud-to-stud” ratio is like 1:9. #Compare and contrast to Nothingface whose last three albums were certified wall-to-wall slappers. #Disturbed is still somehow less annoying than Kid Rock #who besides being annoying and untalented is boring as shit #Also he's on his fifties and still goes by “Kid Rock” lmao. #Youtube

They were playing video game music on the radio today.

Specifically, on a smaller radio station based out of a college in the next town over.

So as I'm starting my drive home today, what I'm hearing is Live and Learn -- yep, the Sonic "butt rock" song -- with an occasional fuzz of radio static and fragments of Russia/Ukraine war news cutting in from a different station.

#silly #music #sonic the hedgehog #sonic #butt rock #radio #somebody needs to make a remix of this and upload it somewhere so this isn't just confined to my memory forever #loud fuzzy sonic music with very dry dull news coverage occasionally butting in for like 2 or 3 words before going back to sonic music

The Most Definitive Butt Rock Albums of All Time (Part 1)

I know what you're thinking, “what the hell is Butt Rock?” I could go into a long explanation, instead I'll just drop this Urban Dictionary link for you to research on your own. In short though, Butt Rock is a derogatory term for the “Modern Rock”  genre. It's a segment of late 90s to 2010s Hard Rock that grew out of Grunge, Metal and Alt-Rock. 

Part Post-Grunge, part Stadium Rock, and part Nu-Metal, Butt Rock is an amalgamation of middle of the road white-guy bands that typically show very little growth through their career. I talk about music a lot, but sadly, when it comes to Butt Rock, it might be the only category of music in which I’m actually an expert. 

Before we dive into this list I’ve got to do some housekeeping. All the artists represented here have multiple albums, and rather than grade each one, I’ve chosen the artist’s “best” album to represent them. That will keep the list from being 5 artists with 5 albums each and it allows me to pull from deeper bench.

The final goal here isn’t to find the BEST Butt Rock album. It’s to find the most iconic/definitive, which is a distinctly different measurement. I spent a lot of time grading these albums on multiple numeric grades. Let's take a closer look at each grade and explain what they mean. All ratings are on a 5 point scale.

My Rating: This Is MY overall rating of the album. 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. Keep in mind, I like all of these albums, so the scale is not an overall score, it's a score relative to the other albums on the list. Otherwise, all of them would score 3, 4 or 5. Where's the fun in that?

Butt Rocky-ness: This metric is a bit hard to define. There's a certain attitude and crunchiness to Butt Rock songs. If you're familiar with the genre, the traits are usually unmistakable. Butt Rock songs don't typically have rapping, electronica, or any type of genre melding traits to them. The purest Butt Rock is two guitars, bass, drums and vocals. Most of the songs are mid to fast tempo, catchy, with predictable cord progression and song structure. This metric measures how well the album fits this template, since we are rewarding Butt Rocky-ness, the more Butt Rocky, the higher the score.

Irony: As a huge fan of this type of music, for a long time I listened to it 100% seriously. Over time I've realized that a lot of it is super dumb, and taking it too seriously could ruin the experience. Like hair metal, disco and the Black Eyed Peas, any music can be fully enjoyed with a hefty dose of irony. This metric measures how ironically I like the album. Since we are celebrating this genre for being exactly what it is, the higher the score the more ironic I treat it. 

Recommendation: This metric measures my opinion of how easy it is to recommend an album to someone who is not a fan of the genre. It's kind of a litmus test for how digestible the album is as a standalone product. This is different from “My Rating” in that even if I love an album, I'm self-aware enough to know not to recommend it to anyone. It's also kind of a measurement of how well an album has aged. The higher the number, the more likely I am to recommend it.

Allmusic Score: Finally, to try and bring an outside opinion into this discussion and also to eliminate a lot of tie scores, I’m including the official Allmusic rating for each album. Consider this the control metric. Allmusic has been around forever, and they grade their albums on a 5-point scale, so these numbers dropped into the equation perfectly.

Final Score: To get the final score, I averaged the totals of the five other ratings. To get the ranking I ranked them by Final Score. I still needed some tiebreakers so those were determined by the My Rating and Butt Rocky-ness metrics.

Okay, I know that's a lot and you probably skipped it, that’s fine. I needed to explain my methodology before we get into the rankings themselves. Because of this long explanation, for the first post, I'm only ranking numbers 25 through 21. Parts 2 and 3 will be 10 albums long. So we're going to burn through this pretty quickly. 

The last thing I want to say is that while I'm going to make jokes and seemingly ridicule these albums, know that it's coming from a place of love. I do genuinely enjoy all of them, but as I've gotten older, I've grown to understand how silly the genre is and that's completely okay with me. I hope you enjoy.

#25 Sick Puppies - Tripolar (2009)

I didn’t anticipate Tripolar being #25 because it's a pretty rad album. In retrospect though, it's just middle-of-the-road in most departments. A few standout tracks like “Riptide” and “Odd One” keep it from blending in too much. I wouldn’t even say it’s that Butt Rocky, but Sick Puppies gets grouped with the other artists in this list ALL THE TIME, so there’s definitely something to that.  

#24 Avenged Sevenfold - Avenged Sevenfold (2007)

A7X as the kids call them is a bit too metal to rank high on the Butt Rocky scale, but their self-titled album from 2007 is their seminal work, so it sneaks into the bottom of this list on the strength of the tracks themselves. Other A7X albums would probably rank higher in the irony department, but the last track, “Dear God” throws a wrench into the whole equation, and the idea that this album belongs on this list.   

#23 10 Years - Feeding the Wolves (2010)

10 Years is the first of the bands I jokingly refer to as “catchy-Tool.” One of the hallmarks of Butt Rock is a generation of artists clearly influenced by the melodic delivery of pre-10,000 Days Tool, mixed with clunky pop sensibilities. Calculating in this caveat, Feeding the Wolves is an underrated classic of the sub-genre. Upon release, “The Wicked Ones”, “Fix Me”, “Now Is the Time (Ravenous)” and “Don’t Fight It” did not get the attention they deserved.   

#22 Cavo - Bright Nights Dark Days (2009)

A nearly forgotten Butt Rock gem is Cavo’s major label debut, Bright Nights Dark Days. What separates this from the albums on the bottom of the list, is how close their sound is to traditional, “hear it from the band playing at the local bar”, Rock ‘n Roll. Recommending this one to any rock fan from the past 50 years is easy, with my only worry being, that it might be thought of as bland.   

#21 Adelitas Way - Adelitas Way (2009)

Like Cavo, there is little that makes Adelitas Way stand out. Despite that, they’ve put together a decent career full of mid-tier, totally listenable albums. That debut though ... is packed with bangers. I even awarded “So What if You Go” the honor being one of the best songs ever. If Adelitas Way had anything inherently interesting about them they might have been a leader of this pack.  

More Coming Soon

So that’s how it’s going to go. Quick quips about each album, sometimes justifying their inclusion sometimes not. I plan on releasing these over the next three days, so if this Butt Rock breakdown floats your boat come back tomorrow.
